iof I Po': ssrmon by President Taylor, all
o. sl,. ,l,s and the efforts of the two
''''5 shies mentioned in the Introductory
VOL 10 do not seem to arouse the
's'i'r AN public to that pitch of indig-
an nv, which such persistent and ardu-
nl M. Efforts would ordinarily insure.

sgnsmiters and socialists, nor as much
!.antion as many very immaterial
tiers The virtuous spasm which
nos seized the Arizona people is almost
-aboo,d of here. If there were left a
S i'in sanse of shame or the spirit OF
U Uas in American statesmen, the
egq psste in office OF such men as hold
;nstinesbips in Arizona would not be tol,
g-sted an hour. No man, who knows
summer Howard, would have the bare
faced effrontry to say he was lifted for
.nv noqition whatever, save that which
az 3srSoTred on men who are called Jail
b;r DDS A man with the reputation OF
mo-e Notorious corruptionist, oppor-
tunifr considered, is not known. That
tba Wormons are unpopular is notori-
ons fact: that an unpopular community
csnnotobtain iusticeIis equally as notori-
ong the truth of which is attested by
history through all ages; but 1t remains
for the United States to tolerate all
abuse of a people and to applaud 1t,
which the inhabitants OF senl-barDar-
GUS countries, in semi-barbarous times
would have blushed to have had re-
yeaIed. From Sumner Howard-and he Is
certainly the paragon of alleged Judicial
degradation, while his Confreres in spirit
are in Idaho-to the highest power in
the land, it is assumed as perfectly
proper to deny to a Mormon what
would be simply justice to other classes.
Even were this untrue, what degree of
reverence or admiration is nation cal
culated to inspiae in its subjects when
its judges, or some of them, are not
only incompetent, but reputed corrup-
tionists, bribe- takers, bidders for bride,
and foul moral lepers. where the rul-'
ings of such persons are sustained by
the highest tribunals, where the execu-
tive refuses the relief that removal will
bring, where the law making arm, not
only refuses Just help, but is forever
raised in angry menace. With wrong
after wrong fresh in the minds of peo-
pie, only social vultures who live on
moral carbon would talk of the majesty
Of law that is basely unfair, of the
benignity of a government that is for
ever depressing. There will be a change
Of Ofice-holders soon, but for Utah and
the Mormon people there is little to
hOpefrom the change. Democrats have
not had the chance to steal, consequent
II they could not; they even might not
have stolen mad they been able; but
Utah Democrats equally with Republi-
cans. have joined hands in bringing
disgrace and heaping contumely upon
lair and prosperous Territory; the
IelolcIngs at an abridgement of the
Liberties of the Mormons. at the opera
ton of unjust and partisan laws
against them, at the instigation of I'M
lawful and inhuman methods to harrass
Them, and at the persis tent and whole
sale blackmail of an industrious peo-
p'e' have been equally hilarious and
satanic by both parties. Ii to look on a
