We thought VIC would pake an Elaborate
reply to an anonymous letter received last
week by one of our best citizens, but space
The letter is written, Tor attempted to he
written) ostensibly in the interest Of the
Mormon faith. The writer handles US
with GLOVES off and recites all our sins of
omission and commission, fofoign end do
mcstic What we have said in these COL
umns from time time about these modern
Lamechites is n bitter morsel under his
tongue. We must, however, give him
credit for making no attempt to disguise
those mammoth aurieular appendages that
are an unfailiug index to his assinins pro-
clivities. Though we don't wish to cast any
reflection upon the faithful mule by bring
ing his paternal ancestor into this defamin g
-comparison. This writer twirs some of
Pals sayings around in such trap ezian
style that they represent crazy quilt
rather than regnlar, ooncateEa,iou OF
soriptural truths, going>' nsupporf the im-
ported heresy he woulaPmye otr people
imbibe. Throughout,Ith whole letter gives
evidence that its author is q first-class
blackguard rather than q teacher Of Scrip.
tural truth and practitioner of moral de-
cency. He makes frutless attempt to
switch its authorship upon some colored
man-perhaps Wallace Fowler. But We
will state that Wallace hos been too well
raised to descend below the surface oi
propriety and exhume such disgraceful Ian
gunge as is therein set forth On future oc.
cision VIC will bring this matter up in
better style, and refer to such points as
concern the public veal. We will feed this
polygamic disciple on Alternative doses OF
decent language until the effect of his
moral leprosy has disappeared, if possible
We are glad to find our friend Mr.. A. F
Mckissick among the contributors OF the
TINES, and assure him that we have NJ
disposition to fall out with him for "inva
ding our dominion" His problem is on,
well calculated to stir up our geometrician'
and put them to studying. My young
friend, you and your efforts will alway
find hearty WELCOME with us. We hop,
some Of our numerous young friends will
answer him. We have already figured ou
our answer and will put it before our read
ers in case it is necessary.
