MORE OF THE "MARTYRS." !"

The News approvingly quotes from the
Omaha Herald mess of bosh in which the
recently convicted polygamist Abram II.
Cannon is held up to the world as mar
tyr for his religions sake. The fact that
Cannon himself went upon the witness
stand and admitted that he was guilty OF
the crime as charged, is construed by the
Omaha paper as incontrovertible proof
that the man "believed in the intensest
sincerity OF heart and soul in the doc
trines of his faith, and that therefore he
could and did "give the answer that was
to convict him sturdly and with the
fervor of conscious martyrdom."
The Omaha Herald does not know
what it is talking about. The facts in
the case are that u number of months
ago Abram III. Cannon was indicted for
moment this fact leaked out, Cannon's
martyr spirit rose within him TO such a
degree that he sought to battle the
court officers in their attempt to success
fully prosecute his case, by sending i'm
portant witnesses into hiding. Time and
time again one witness was sought for,
and at last, after months of vigilant
searching, by piece of strategy the
officers managed to catch the Cannon
family mapping and secured the witness
whose testimony was needed to convict
Finding that the jig was up, that the wit
ness he had hidden away had been fer
reted out, and knowing that her testi-
mony alone would be sufficient to send
him up, Cannon suddenly concluded tc
work the "martyr" dodge by going upor
the stand and acknowledging his guilt. II
was cheap way to gain notoriety and
"martyrdom," and he worked the act fol
all it was worth.
And this is the kind OF material out o
which the Omaha Herald manufactures
"martyrs for Christ's sake" Utah has
q plentiful supply of such creatures who
are waiting their turn, and whenever
they, like this man Cannon, are com
PEELED to make virtue OF necessity by
going upon the witness stand and ac
knowledging their guilt-which they vii
do only after every possible avenue o
escape has been closed TO them-they
will, like him, boldly faunt their illici
relationship in the face OF the court and
emerge from the ordeal as full-blowl
"martyrs." This "martyr" business il
enough to give the great body poiti

"PROUD OF OUR PEOPLE!"

"We are proud OF our people!" ex-
claimed the principal Church organ the
other evening, after using up n column
of its editorial space in "refuting" the
statement that the recent outrages per-
petrated by members of the Mormon
Church upon United States officials resi-
dent in this city, were but the legitimate
outcome of the teachings and preach
ings OF Mormo..sm.
ave are proud Of our peoplew What
peculiar qualities ''our people" must have
developed to call forth such remark
from so vile source. What are those
qualities? Is it because of the willing
ness they manifest to blindly follow the
counsel which the Church authorities
deign to give them in all things, both
spiritual and temporal? Is it because
OF the servile obedience they render to
the injunctons placed upon them to
carry out the will OF n bogus priesthood,
even though in so doing they violate all
the laws OF decency which elsewhere gov
ern and control in society? Is it the
willingness they show, at the command
OF II ianatical and traitorous few, to fly in
the face OF benign Government and
trample under foot the just and merciful
provisions OF its laws? Is it the "willing-
ness" with which they flaunt their shame
in the face of ministers OF justice, and
from common polygamous Saints evolute
into martyrs for Chrst's sake"-when
they can't help themselves? Is it be-
cause they at all times stand ready to
carry out the orders OF their ecclesiastical
bosses, even to the extent OF assaulting
and attempting assassination OF Govern
ment officers whose only "oiiense" is
found in strict adherence TO the line o
their sworn duty? Ii not for such noble
qualities as these, what is it the Churcl
leaders see in ''our people, to be so proud

misguided officials, who, in spite OF coy
ert threats OF violence and assassination
continue to vindicate the laws Of thei

mons under these circumstances
truly touching, and at no time per

in emigration from the country or obedi-
ence to the laws? The experience OF the
past teaches that there is little to expect
OF these men in that direction.
Truly, the Mormon people have sown
the wind and are about to reap the whirl-
wind. What will they do, what can
they do, except TO cease, at once and for
ever, the practice OF their unlawful acts
and come within the laws, or take the
only alternative and emigrate to other
lands?

fate for the people OF these valleys be-
gins to dawn in the East, and Utah will

the court officers.
II must be that this is one OF the evil
dences Of the self-restraint, patience, en-
durance and peace, which the Nems has
discovered in "our people" and OF which
it is so proud. Verify, there are virtues
and virtues, but it takes Mormon news
paper to pick out the peculiar virtues
which so distinguish "our people," and
give their leaders such good reason to be
proud OF them.

WHAT WILL THEY DO?

1t will now be in order for the Mormon
press to commence emptying the vials OF
their wrath-and we all know how odor-
GUS the contents of those walls are-upon
the head OF Nevada's Representative in
Congress. If, however, the Mormon peo-
pie would but just stop and think iOr Il
moment! But, no! They will not They
dare not They cannot! Ii there is any
thinking TO be done, it is not the mass OF
the people who will DO it; that will be
done by their irecclesiastical superiors, who
long have arrogated to themselves the
right to think and speak in all things for
the people, and to demand unques-
tioning obedience to whatever they
have seen fit to promulgate,
either as religious or so-called political
doctrines. But what will they think
now? Anything for the good OF the mis-
guided creatures who for these many
years have 50 blindly trusted to their
leadership and now find themselves in Il

THE London Socialists asked the courts
to punish the editor and publishers of
Punch for contempt because the paper
attempted to incite violence against the
agitators. If the Socialists were wise
they would not fight their best friend.

How the Child Told the Story.


A lady up town, who is a devout
Catholic, took her little girl to church
for the first time the other evening.
It was some occasion for children and
the little one was deeply interested.
The priest told them all about what
they were looking at, and the presenta-
ton that most took hold of the child
was a picture Of the crucifixion. In
simple language the father related the
story Of that momcntous scene, and
when the little girl got home she began
to tell them all about it from her point
of view. With intense earnestness,
and eyes speaking all the wonder that
filed her mind, she went over the inc-
dents as her infantle brain conceived
them, and with q childs practically
she brought II down to the comprehen-
sion Of her listeners, as she ended:
"And what do you thinkP They just

BILIOUSNESS.

Every third person you meet is troubled
more or less with biliousness, and don't
know how to get rid of it. The causes
are easily recorded. A lack Of sufficient
exercise, eating too much by persons OF
sedentary habits, indulgence in too rich
food where an excessive quantity is not
taken, sluggish torpid liver where the
blood does not do its duty, and bile is
allowed to accumulate; these cause the
whites of the eyes to turn yellow, the skin
to look thick and coarse, and the COM
plexion yellow or dark. These are sure
Indications of biliousness. Relief can be
had and should be had at once. Browns
Iron Bitters is the remedy. 1t acts di-
rectly upon the blood, cleanses and puri-
sit, and sends it on its journey through
the channels of the liver. stirring up its
action, giving to it activity and vigor,
and clearing out the bile. 1t will remove
the yellow tinge from the eyes and the
complexion leaving the latter fresh and
clear. 1t will open the pores ofthe skin
and remove the thick cloudy appearance.
Browns Iron Bitters cures biGousness.

DYSPEPSIA.

Many people who are irritable, nervous
ard easily disturbed, whose physical and
mental conditions are much disordered,
naturally possess the pleasantest and
most agreeable manners and disposition.
The cause Of their irritation and dis
turbed condition of their organization is
their sufferings from the horrors of dys-
pepsia. The stomach has been over
worked and refuses to do its duty. They
are unable to take much food and what
they do take fails to assimilate, and heart
burn and belching indicate their condi-
ton. Nothing will give these sufferers
such speedy and sure relief as Browns
Iron Bitters. II furnishes just the aid
needed to assimilate the food and gives
strength to the stomach to perform its
work, cures heartburn and belching, gives
renewed appetite and cures dyspepsia.
Then instead of loosing flesh daily the
patient rapidly rcgains what has been
lost and grows healthy and strong.
