If disturbances were anticipated in Utah in
view OF the Presidents possibly severe COM
ments on Mormonism, needless trouble was
borrowed. The Message is not at all fierce in
that direction. but Is at the same time hostile
to the Latter-Day Saints peculiar institution.
Mr. Cleveland desires to see no relaxation in
the administration of the Edmunds law, and
promises to approve further "discreetn leg
islaiiOn against polygamy. The Mormons
will find in these sentiments no incentive to
violence; but they must feel disappointed that
q Democratic Administration, from which they
had expected so much, shows no inclination to
let up on them.

EARNEST EVANGELISTS.
A Large Coneourse of People Meet at
the Rink and Manifest Great Inter-
est in the Union Services.
Eleven Hundred People and Increasing
Daily.

A meeting for men only was held at the
rink Sunday night, which was addressed by
Major Whittle. The place was crowded and
the attention earnest. When all who were
protesting christians were asked to rise
many eyes opened wide at the great number
representatives from all the protestant
churches being present in great numbers.
The union meeting at the same time held at
the NJ. Z. church was densely crowded
one. Revs. Hewitt and Hendryx from the
same subject-that Of 'consecration" de
livered very earnest discourses which were
listened to with the profoundest attention.
Last night at the rink still larger number
of people attended the union services and
listened TO the clear, earnest and unanswera-
BILE appeals of Msjor Whittle, and although
there was not any considerable outward show
Of marked conversions, the words of the evan
gelist struck deep into the hearts of his
hearers. His illustrations of the conditions
Of the mind, and its sinful tendencies and
its weakness in temptations without religious
support and safeguards, were apt, clear and
convincing. The clear logic of the sermon
was its merit, without theology in its dry
ness, he spoke TO the under
standing of the heart and that deeper seated
feeling of hope and grace TO meet life's
temptation with religious armor. That
these meetings are on the eve of meeting
great success there can be no doubt. One
man in speaking to friend, said: 81 found
myself saying amen TO all that was said.'
Another one said: "There is something
delightful in the atmosphere here, and I'M
consciously felt carried away from my
troubles and cares, and strong hope and
brave heart to try again to be Christian
After the sermon and prayers and
hymns at the second meeting, large
numbers remained and many stood up
for prayers. On further appeal and some
beautiful hymns by the choir, and prayer
from Rev. Hewitt and exhortations from
Major White and Rev Harper, numbers
went forward and took their seats at the
front, when special prayer was offered and
encouragement given them. AT n late hour.
after earnest and good work WAS done, the
meeting broke up, to be resumed to-day as
follows:
This morning at the Baptist church at 9
o'clock, Bible reading; at the Methodist
church at Ais p. m, to-day, young peoples
meeting; at the rink tonight the usual I'M
ion services.
The spirit of the meeting is clearly led by
the clear. positive and earnest evangelist,
Mai. Whittle, whose clear-cut sentences,
with logical, plain and religious reason APP
peals at once to the better and higher ma
ture. and swaking in his hearers feelings that
struggle up imperceptibly that must be lis
tened to.
He is ably seconded by full compliment
Of our noble local ministers, who work with
a will. Revs. Hewitt and Harper and Others
were untiring last night in awaking an inter-
est in the already inquiring multitude. The
singing is really fine. and can be said to
strike the heart in its clear and soothing |
notes.

prohibition don't prohibit" said an ex-

class most injured by drink. In the days of
the open saloon there was always a good
warm fire and everything comfortable and
inviting in the saloon. Everybody could go
in and sit down comfortably, and on that
account every laboring man who was not at
work spent the day in the saloon, and spent
his money too. In the drug store or in the
joint they can't sit around and play cards.
Consequently there is not half as much
drinking. Again, in summer the saloon is
