Pere Hyacinthe on Mormonism-

In a recent interview at Madison.
Wis, Pere Hyacinthe gave his views of
polygamy. He said the Mormans could
not be tolerated in Europe. Madame
Hyacinthe and I spent four days In Salt
Lake City, carefully examining into this
nest of corruption. Madame Hyacinthe
was so very fortunate as to be able to
meet some of the leading Mormon wom-
en-, and they talked to her with unex-
pected freedom. The women all
hate polygamy, but are carried away
and dazed by religious fanaticism and
believe the system but sort of purgatory
on earth long season of personal deg.
radiation to fit them for bright heaven
" existence. There were number of
female Mormon converts On the steamer,
when we came over; when told by other
passengers that they were coming over
to join polygamic institution, they
wept bitterly, but the prsoelytiag elder
in charge of them assured his people of
the falsity of the charge and quoted
them. They come to this country from
Europe under false pretenses, and do not
learn the truth until too late to escape.
1t Is sad fate. Nothing in all christen-
dom can equal it in corruption and hui
man degradation. We attended COM
munion in the tabernacle when Joseph
Smith was declared the compeer of
Jesus. The ceremony and the teach
ings were revolving to every sense of de-
votion. But l would not use harsh
measures. Iwould attempt to educate
them, to set them good moral examples
and crowd civilization upon them. Much
individual wrong, especially to the
hordes of deluded women, would fol-
low harsh treatment. Kindness may
right the wrong; it is worth trying.

Yankton Specials Among the cases to be
tried at this term of the federal court begun
Tuesday at this city were those of E. E. Carpen-
ter and J. D. Cameron, charged with making
snd selling bogus land scrip Preparatory to
the trial Of these cases the government had as
Louis and number from other distant points.
And now, when ell things are ready for the
trial, E. E. Carpenter, the central figure, in the
case, is not here. His bail, VA 600, mostly fur
nished by his father and brothers, and it is un-
derstood it will not be valuable to the govern
ment in case it is forfeited Without him it is
doubtful il the other cases will go on, as evil
dence relied on to convict E. e. Carpenter is
the keystone of the whole case against all the
parties, implicated in the Santa Fe scrip bust
ness.

we brought from America most profound inn
pressions of love of Americans tUward the
mother country. The new friends we made in
America Will doubtless cordially greet us when
we revisit their shores.
