THE FASTING CAPTAIN.

 On eve of fight their Captain said Hurrah my heroes, route your foes;
 Who could such warriors brave oppose Fight should you fall Pm free to say
 That you will dine i'll Heaven to-day. The foe appears-the Captain runs
 A prudent man all danger shuns. Some wag, who saw him leave the crowd, I,
 In jeering tone cried clear and loud: Why dost thou leave thy comrades thus,
 Ho! Captain, stay and dine with us. Nay, answered he, and sped away,
 Nay, children, shall fast to-day.
 That is about the way Taylor and Cannon, the braves of the Mor- mon church, are encouraging the polygamists to. make their fight. "Sic 'em !" cries John Taylor.

should not be treated as robbers or Oklahoma boomers. They paid rOundly for their pasturage, and were recognized by the Department having control of the Indians land, and deserve protection of the government in their removal. They should by all means have time to select grazing lands for their stock.
 We are disposed to praise the Executive for his laudable efforts in the discharge of his official duty, but when he selects men whose whole life has been spent in gaining knowledge of the art of war, for special experts, in the so- lution of those problems that per tain solely to the peaceful business pursuits, it seems rather inconsist- ent.
 Would 1t be any particular satis- faction to General Sheridan to see lying dead upon the ground more than half the stock he would re- move from the territory within forty days, even were it possible to gather men in sufficient number to make the drive? We think not.
 From our estimate of MT. Cleve- land, we do not believe that he de- sires or wills the ruin of any citi- zen, or the destruction of any in- dustry. He has simply selected the wrong agent to give him inform ation on subject of such great importance, and we hope that he will yet listen to men who can give him proper and truthful inform tion upon a subject of such vital to the cattle growers of the country.

Where are now the leaders whose battle charges are setting the faithful afre? Hid away in the hay mow; skulking while better and braver men are taking their punishment. How long will the simpletons follow such leaders?

TIE cattle men in the Indian Territory will be fearful losers by the Presidents order to leave the territory within forty days, if the order iS not revoked.
 General Sheridan may, and does, know how to move three or four hundred thousand men, by an order, in forty days, or even less, but it would have been more consistent with the situation and eternal fit ness of things, if the President had sent an expert in the cattle busi-

St. Johne. Thureday, August 6,


 THE skulking, sneaking and hid ing apostles, John Taylor and Geo c. Cannon, of the Mormon church showed their valor to live for their religion, whatever they might be willing to die for, on Pioneers Day, July 24. Under the indictment oi grand jury of the United States they have Skipped the gutter" and gone to parts past finding out by the officers of the law. Understand ing the penalties due to their crimes and the certainty of their execution by an offended people, they have become fugitives from justice and will not materialize or martyrize, either as an example to the faithful in the church, or for the glory of the kingdom of Latter Day Saints on earth.
 We ask the deluded followers of these false teachers to look at these would be soldiers of the cross and cempare their actions and conduct with the lives of the early christians. The apostles of the Mormon church are not rendering unto Caesar the things that are Casar's; :; they rather set at defiance the laws of the coun- try in which they live. The apos- ties of the Mormon church do not stand up like men, convinced of their owns righteous purposes, of their own obedience to the right cousness that cannes from above, before their accusers and say with the Apostle Paul-when he was confronted by unbelievers-"for l am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation" Saint Paul did not take to the brush and send in note to the people to have it read, he was not afraid of prison-houses, nor the court house over which Agrippa presided, but like man of truth he stood before the Howard of the first century and plead his own cause, believing in the doctrine which he preached. Nor did the Apostle Paul fool away his time and his great talent on any other Subjects than righteousness, tenn perance and judgment to come, themes to make royalty tremble and bring the masses to the knowl- edgesand embrace of the truth. Wh& intelligent people should be 5 hu1ibpgged by the teachings of this. band of frauds is past compre- hensf6n How it is that these cowardly sneaks could keep the confidence of the meanest intellect among that people is an enigma for which their is no solution. The hypocritical scoundrels; the blas- pheming braggarts issued thelr proclamation, on the 24th of July, to the church to be faithful, to stand fast and see the salvation of God. It came from their hiding place, wherever that may be, and was repetition of hypocritical cant that should deceive no one. We are amazed to see men of sense on all other subjects still cling to such frauds, still adhering to the currupt teachings of those self pro- nounced towards and dodgers.

THE JOSEPHlTES.

7
 scbism in the Mormon Church as
 matter which was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal courts
 and officers. It is none the less
 an interesting topic of consider
 ation end it's history is curious.
 When Brigham Young proclaimed
 polygamy as the cornerstone of
 the Mormon church, thirty-three
 years ago, he stated that Joseph
 Smith had secretly told him nine
 years before that he had had a
 special revelation on the subject
 from the Almighty. Joseph Smiths
 son, Joseph Smith, Jr., did not be-
 lieve in Brigham's statement, nor
 did he believe in polygamy; so
 when the Mormons moved to Utah
 Territory. under the command of
 Young, and with the ayowed pur-
 pose of practicing polygamy to
 the fullest extent, Joseph Smith.
 Jr., refused to accompany them,
 and with a number of other Mor-
 mons who shared his views, estab-
 lished homogeneous branch of the Mormon sect at Plano, Ill.
 There he lived and prospered un-
 til lately, when, on the occasion of a visit to the cradle of Mormonism at Kirtland, O., he addressed a large audience in the first Mormon Temple ever built, and declared his intention of going to Utah to make war on polygamy. This was two years ago. He kept his word. He went to Salt Lake City and opened his batteries on the saints, with such effect that he is now at the head of quite a respectable faction. which is known by the name of the Josephites, and which, by the way, has some churches in the southern part of this state.
 The Josephites are Mormons in everything but this-they do not believe in polygamy. A Josephite has one wife and no more. Now, with such people, the United States has no quarrel. The gov of this country interferes with no mans opinions. Joseph Smith, Jr., is free to believe that his father was inspired from hea- ven and had special revelations from God no one can gainsay him on that account. It is only when men make their religion a pretext for breaking the laws of the land that they become to justice. If Joseph Smith Jr., who has at least the ad- over the Elders and Bis hops of the Mormon Church, in that he was born in this country, while they were mostly born in En- gland, and adhere to their English can win over to his side the great bulk of the Mormons, he will solve very annoying problem and will render his people a most signal service. Those who persist in polygamy cannot escape the fate that is now impending. One by one, beginning with the richest and most prominent, all the polyga- mists are going to be punished. can save them. They reused the sleeping lion when they hoisted the flag at half-mast on the Fourth, and the officers of justice will not halt in their work until polygamy is as dead as slavery. Mormons who have any sense will realize this, and will, We should see the advantage in join ng the Josephites, which will be a way of letting themselves down easily.-San Francisco Chronicle.

The Amalgamated Association was mott
fed Yesterday afternoon that the difficulty
in rt pard TO the old rail clause at Brown,
BonneLl & Co.'S mills, at Youngstown, had
been satisfactorily settled. 1t is said that

One of the employees who was at the
Amaigamated office last evening said he was
confdenttle settlement meant anseeeptance
of the Pittsburg scale. The termination OF

he said, would have a tendency to compel
other idle mills in the locality to fire up aud
a general resumption in the Mahoning Val

The Amlgamsted officials at Pittsburg
are elated over the settlement. President
Weihe says the only difficulty With which
the association has to contend now is at
Wheeling. The fires at Youngstown will be

L~ightning's Freaks.

A few days ago, during q thunder storm
at Eureka, on the Ohio River road, R. N.
Corbitt, Rus. Hammett, n. Williamson,
John Davidson and several other gentlemen
were standing in the doorway Of Mr.. David
sons grocery, when a telegraph pole a few
feet away was struck by lightning. The
ek c~tricity jumped from the wire to the store,
completely stunning the occupants and
breaking quite q lot of queensware and
doing other damage. Messrs. Davidson
and Corbitt had Just left and closed the
door, q moment before the fash, when they
had gone to look for the train, which is
probably all that saved their lives. Several
telegraph poles in the vicinity were badly
shattered, and it is reported that the cleo
tricity followed the wire several miles each
way and ran into the telegraph Office at
Willow Island, some two miles distant and
burnt the wire in two.
