THE BIG BRIGANDS.

The popular disposition is to censure
and ccndemR the receiver and his at
torneys in the church suits for the raw
enous greed which they display in the
matter OF fees to be taken from the con-
fiscated property. The gentlemen re-
ferred to are constituencies enough, we
all know; but do any of the men who
are denouncing them think of the
bigger fellows in the rear who are re-
sponsible for this gigantic scheme of
piunde1? Who is saying anything
about Senator Edmunds, Senator
Hoar, Senator Blair, Representative
Tom Reed, and the others of the gang
who devised the plan for the robbery OF
the Mormon Church, and carried it
through until the plumber was turned
over to the small fry who are now con-
ing in for the castigation2 The robbery
which Edmunds and associates perpe-
trsted involved a million or more, and
the fact that they did it in the name of
the government makes it none the less
excusuable and none the less robbery.
We would not be understood for mo-
ment as in the least iustifying the men,
bers of the little local clique who are
trying to pull few of the plums out of
the rich pie that has been spread before
them, nor as searchir for an excuse
for their unholy and hungry greed. Bnt
we suggest that while these fellows are
being criticised, condemned and cuff d
from all sides for the part tEey are tax
ing in the game ofspoIidtior, something
should be said concerning the bigands
in Congress who set the example, and

COMPARATIVELY FEW of our citizens
knew Surveyor-General Bowman, but
those who were fortunate enough to be
numbered among his acquaintance
will grieve over his death, which is an
nounced elsewhere in THE HERALD. He
was cultured, genial gentleman, and
a man of integrity. Here in Utah he
early won and held to the last the con-
fdence and respect of all classes, by
attending strictly to his own duties and
carefully refrainlng from interference
with matters which did not concern him
or his Office. General Bowman came to
Utah in i'll health, and while our CHI
mate seemed to do him good and IN
doubtedly prolonged his life, it could
not restore constitution shattered as
was his. THE HERALD's truest sympa.
thy goes out to the afflicted family in
this their most terrible bereavement.

SENATOR INGALLS, says; "If there will

on the 4th of March next, about which
l know nothing, they should all be re-

WHATEVER MAY be the final result OF
the suits against the Mormon Church,
THE HERALD will at this stage of the
proceedings caution school trustees
and the people generally against plac-
ing hope in any of the confscated
money reaching the public schools. 1t
was never intended that dollar of the
money should ever go to the schools.
The object was to despoil the Mormon
Church of its possessions, and the pro-
vision in regard to education wss put
in as a sort of justification or palliation
of the crime of robbery, which Con-
gress was perpetrsting. No man who
voted for the brigand bill cared a
tarthing where the stoleE money
went, so long as it was stolen from the
Mormons, and we doubt that anyone
who is in position to do so will take
interest enough in the matter to see
that the schools receive some of the
cash. If the church loses the suits it
will lose the property also, and the
schools will not get the latter. You
may all mark this down.

made the plumber here possible. Judge
Edmunds, more than any other man, is
guilty of the great wrong-to call it by
the mildest term possible-which is be-
ing perpetrated here; the men who are
taking advantage of his outrageous deed
to gather few feathers for their own
nests, are as pigmies compared to tie
giant who led Congress to commit the
government to this act of the highway
man. AS certain parties who are much
exercised over the disposition of the
confscated property, have not found it
in their hearts to say anything against
the original theft, the presumption is
that they are not opposed to the steal,
out only to the manner in which the
stolen goods are being disposed of.

MEN AND CHURCH GOING.
THE HERALD,
Salt Lake City, Utah.

A Chicago newspaper sent reporters
the other day among the preachers OF
that city to ask why it is that women
are so much more numerous in the
congregations than men. Some of the
reverend gentlemen emphatically de-
MED that it was true, and asserted that
the membership of the churches was
about equal as to the sexes. The
opinion of preacher who will say that
there a-e not more women than men IN
the congregations, no matter what the
church, is not worth much. Most OF
the preachers frankly admitted the
proposition, and they endeavored to ex'
plain the circumstance in various ways.
Several said that men were SO busy
during the week that when Sunday
came they wsre glad to rest. Some
thought that men do not like to be
told that they are sinners, hence they
stay away from church. One preacher
said: 1.-The average theological sermon
of to-day does not appeal to men. 1t
is not good enough CT strong enough
for them" The Sunday newspapers
were blamed for decreasing church at
tendance. Two or three were cour-
ageous enough to say that perhaps the
ministers were unable to enlist the
sympathies of intelligent men.
But the real cause. we take it, was
not touched upon, or rBther the real
causes were not stated. The chief OF
these is the fact that good many men
are not only not religious, but they are
losing interest in religion. The min
listers preach as well or better than they
ever did, but they are unable to impress
men as they once did. 1t used to be
that the great majority accepted as
true anything and everything uttered
from the pulpit, never stopping to call
in question any statement which was
in line with accepted orthodoxy. Now,
the average man assumes the right to
doubt and discuss, and he demands
proof for much which was formerly
taken without suspicion as to the pos
sibility of its being erroneous. In plain
words, in6delity is increasing among
men and church attendance is decreas-
ing.
Another cause for the non-attendance
of men is the constant appeal for
money. Church attendance, especially
in city churches, has come to be very ex-
pensive to men. A good many cannot
afford to give what they are required to
give in order to maintain a fair stand
ing in the congregation. The pew rent
is high in any of the fashion able
churches; but that is only fraction Of
the expense to a man who keeps up his
end. There is a demand for something
extra Sunday after Sunday; man of
moderate means cannot respond to all
the calls made upon him by and for
the church, and still be honest; and not
q few prefer to stay away and thus
avoid refusing to give when others
around them are giving.
1t is to be regretted that men do not
attend CT ur3h, for it must be confessed
that their absence weakens the church.
Butt there are reasons why men stay
away and two of the reasons are given
ABOVE.
