There was a meeting at Washington Of

The picture is taken from Mormon rural
life. But in this very Salt Lake City itself
there are men living with three wives and a
dozen children in two rooms hardly fit for a
decent dog kennel Another member OF
this sanity church married his own half
sister. Sometimes they live in one mex
tricable mix-father, two or three mothers
and grown sons and daugbters--in hovel
of two or three rooms. Talk OF common
decencyl A good many Of the poor
wretches believe they are really fulfilling
the Lord's will in thus living like hogs.

And into the sunny summer days
Or into the winter evenings cold
she weaves the notes Of her joyful praise
While closely about him her fond arms fold.
Nobody sees the baby grow
But over his rosy little face
The prettiest ripples of laughter flow,
The dancing dimples merTily chase,
The tiny feet are learning to walk,
The rounded limbs are growing strong,
The lisping tongue is learning 20 talk,
A. cheerily pass the days along.
Nobody can explain Il all.
But one thing To our thought j. clear;
God, who sees II "a sparrow fall,
sent our beautiful baby here.
And mother cares for him. day and night
lis easy enough when she loves him So
And God. whenever she puts out the light,
Just looks in and makes him grow.

There IS an organization throughout Utah
known rs the Order Of Melchiselec. lis

bound by most fearful oeths TO put the com
mandS of the church above everything else.

chinery Of this dread secret order 70 bear

The authorities that engineered the Noun
tain Meadow massacre will know what to

tect its citizens against Mormon vengeance
Mormonism is n curious anachronism flung
into the midst OF the Nineteenth century
Fastened ON the body Of a free republic. il is
the single example of an absolutely despotic
hierarchy in the world at the present day.
Meantime salt Lake City grows with a
steady, substantial growth. IL has many
miles OF street railway now and a popula-
ton OF 5000. About the only Mormon
growth from the outside, however. comes
from the infiax OF ignorant foreign inn
migrants Even these do not come in such
numbers a they used TO- though droves Of
them still land in New York from
the steerage Of ships. from time to
time. There are large Gentle interests in
Salt Lake. The Saints have not escaped the
hberalizing influence Of such contact. 1t is
predicted that in spite of all the pressure
from the church. number of the brethren
will plead guilty OF polygamy, and get osf
with a mild sentence. Those who plead not
guilty and are convicted are sent to the
penitentiary. A Mormon bishop is at this
moment serving his sentenc. in the Idaho
