,TnE MORMON PLAGUE SPOT

Everybody who has ever lived in
Salt Lake knows just what sort Of
an institution the Mormon Church
Is.
Under the cloak OF religion, a
thieving. numbering gang OF pions
econndrels, have terrorized a sub
servient community of ignorant
aliens. into not only paying tithes
from their hard earned wages, but
have by false religious teachings
and humbug revelations turned
these poor dupes into murderers
and assins, nv making them believe
that it was all for the glory of God.
This band of rascals built up a
church organiztt ion, and murder,
adultiy and incest, which, while it
outraged every principle of civ;llza-
ton and decency, was at heart ar
rayed in treason against the United
States Government. They have
always pretended to boil over with
loyalty to the Government and they
have also claimed that they were
honest and law abiding.
Everything claimed by this rot
ten church for quarter OF cen
tury Is false. Such rare com-
bination of sneaks. cut threats,
towards, liars and thieves were
never herded together in one band
before. A few days ago some of
the more daring of the dupes OF
the church went into Court and
swore that they had been obliged
to take oathes of disloyalty against
the Government, and that men who
betrayed the secrets oil the Endow-
ment House had their threats cut
from ear 10 ear, and several had
been killed in that way. These
witnesses faced these dangers with
out fllnching, as they believed the
U. 5. Government was able 10 pro-
tect them. The tale told by these
witnesses under oath is startling
and sickening. 1t does not sIartie
people vino have lived in Utah. 1t
Is an old story there. but never be-
fore has anyone dared 90 on the
witness stand and make oath OF
these horrible revelations. When
the full history of Mormonism
comes out the world will stand
aghast at the terrible disclosures.

A MANITOBA HORROR.
Financial Difficulties Lead a Father to Kill
His Children and Himself.

WINNIPEG. April ga horrible tale of
murder and suicide has just reached here
from High Bluff, little village only a few
miles from this city, the victims being q
farmer named Mcleod and his daughter,
while another child, boy of thirteen years
old, is SO badly wounded that he cannot re-
cover. McLeod's house is mile or so away
from High Bluff station. on what
is known as the back road'
He was last seen last night
about dusk. A neighbor named Lolita
visited the house to-day after dinner
and was horrified to find Mcleod on his
side with his throat cut, lying near the
stove Both children were found in the
bedroom off from the Kitchen The girl,
who was not more than eight years old had
been struck on the head with the sharp
edge of an ak and was dead. The boy, who
had his clothes on, had four deep gashes on
his head. The ak with which the horrible
crimes were committed was found q few
feet behind the dead body of the father
and the knife that he cut his own throat
with was discovered in the cellar. There
were tracks of blood from the cellar to near
where the suicide lay. The cause of the
deed is attributed to the financial difficult
ties of Mcleod, whose wife died two years
ago. He was one of the best-known farm
ers in Manitoba. and a man respected by
all who knew him.

THE CATHOLIC CONGRESS.
Its Action to the Temporal Power Likely
to Make Trouble for Spain.

Its Action as to the Temporal Power Likely
to Make Trouble for Spain.
LONDON, April 26.-The Catholic congress
now in session is causing the Spanish gov
eminent no end of evaporation and alarm.
although 1t has been in session only two
days. On the first day the congress, by o.
unanimous vote, formulated communica-
tion to the Pope, declaring the main pur-
pose of the congress to be to endeavor to
obtain the restoration of the temporal
power of the Holy See. This action caused
great cutlery in government circles, and
the prelates foremost in conducting
the proceedings of the congress were
promptly demonstrated with. The feelings
of the Ministry can be better imagined than
described when, upon the second day of
the conference, the proceedings were en-
livened by a speech from one of the leading
delegates violently aenouncing the Italian
government for it's aetion in denying to the
Pope the sovereignty of the territory
wrested from his temporal control by Victor
unitication of Italy. The cause of the
evaporation of the Spanish authori-
ties will be quite apparent when
it is explained that the Spanish
bishops specifically promised. in advance
nothing should be said or done in the
course Of the proceedings of that body that
could possibly be construed as giving
otfense to King Humbert, the promise
being understood to have been given as the
price of permission to hold the convention.
The occasion of the official alarm is entirely
obvious. Spain has every reason in the
world for wishing to remain upon the
most amicable terms with Italy and not
the slightest cause for offending her; yet
here is a papal body. presumably sitting by
the sanction of the government Of Spain,
devoting the entire work of the first two
days of its sittings at the Spanish capital
to denunciation of Italy and declaration
of its purpose to bend its efforts toward
wrestling the former papal territory from
the Italian control. It may, therefore, be
inferred that the congress will receive a
stronger admonition than the officials have
yet given to it's leaders, and that further
persistence in its present course will re-
suit in the application of drastic measures
to compel compliance with the governments
wishes regarding expression of hatred for a
friendly power,

THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.

The President Refuses to Extend the Time for
Putting 1t Under Civii-Service Rules.
Special the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 26.-At the Cabinet
meeting to-day the subject of another
extension of the time when the civil
service shall be extended over the railway
mail service, was preached by Postmaster
general Wanainaker. A remarkable con-.
dition of affairs exists at the civil-service
commission headquarters, in connection
with this question. When President Har-
rson took hold of his Office he very readily
saw that it would be impossible to re-.
organize the railway mail service under
civil-service rules, and be extended from
March Is to May the time when the law,
should take effect. So much time was lost,
in selecting superintendent of divisions
and recognizing their efices, that very
little has been accomplished up to this time
in the selection of new postal clerks. Civil
service Commissioner Lyman, believing.
that there would be another extension Of
the time for the law 10 go into effect, did
not direct the arrangements 10 be made for
taking in this new branch of the service as
promptly as he otherwise would have done,

The President, at Che Cabinet meeting to-

condition.

Henri Rochefort Creeps Into England Under
Cover of Night for Fear of a Mob.
LONDON, April 26-The reports concern
ing the departure of NJ. Henri Rochefort
from Brussels and his arrival in England
have been conflicting, and without doubt
were designedly so. 1t was given out at
first that he had been left behind in Brus-
sells when Boulanger and his companions in
exile left the Belgian city. Later it was
reported that the valiant editor accompa-
MED his chief in his English invasion, and
still later this was denied. The facts are
that Rochefort was left in Brussels and
came over yesterday, stealing into London
last night very quietly, and going
unobserved to Madame Dieudonnes's ho-
tel, in Ryder street. The reason for so
much secrecy and caution was his fear of a
rough reception at the hands of an English
mob, on account of the numerous anti
English utterances to which he has given
expression in his paper during the last
dozen years or so. He was afraid his deli
cate wish that the Mahdi might annihilate
General Wolseley and his command. when
the latter was conducting the Egyptian
campaign, would stir up resentment in the
English breast.
