Every religious persecution in the his
tory of the world has been based on politi-
cal necessity. The early Christians were
burned and hunted as enemies of the state;
the Waldenses, the Huguenots, the Coyen
anters, the Puritans, the Catholics. the
Jews. have all been prosecuted and pro-
scribed, imprisoned, killed, denied the fran
chise and voice in the government, be-
cause it was said they were the
enemies of the state. The Catholics
were plotting against ELIZABETH; the
Huguonots against LOUIS; the Jews
had no interest in England; the covenant
ers were Jacobites-it was claimed, and
we all look back and say how short sighted
how cruel were these nations; yet the very
same conditions exist under our eyes and
we refuse to see them.
The Liberals have often said, abolish
polygamy and the innate treason of Nor
monism remains, a worse crime. 1t is the
old spirit of intolerance. Bah! The Lib
erals actuated by moral sentiment or
by patriotism! Their motives are poll
teal They take advantage of the
unpopularity of the Mormons and work to
increase it to serve their mercenary ends.
Did ever politician have more promising
field! A detested people as political OPP
ponents. Imprison them, disfranchise
them, steal their Offices from them, they
have no friends. Was ever political party
actuated by baser motives! Diu ever poll
teal party stoop to the imposition of pains
and penalties to accomplish its ends! Not
| since the dark ages. Every man who has
heart and an intellect should comprehend
the situation.

CAUGHT ON THE WING.

Martin Burke, Alias Delany, Alias Cooper
Arrested in Winnipeg, Man, on SuSpi-
cion of Being One of the William Bro
thers-He VIII Resist Extradition to the
Better End.
WINNIPEG, Man., June 1S.-Martin
Burke, alias Delaney, was arrested here
Sunday for completely in the Cronin
case on information from superintendent
Hubbard. He was boarding the Atlantic
express, and had a ticket for Liverpool,
England. At the station the man. gave
his name as Martin Burke. G. w. Hub
bard, superintendent of the Chicago po-
lice, was Immediately communicated with,
and the chief received the following
reply:
Hold Martin Burke, alias Delaney, who is
concerned in the Cronin murder by all means
Will send officer Immediately.
G. w. HUBBARD, Supt.
The man arrested answers the descrip-
ton of Delaney in every respect.
Burke was interviewed last night by
representative Of the United Press. He
is an athletic looking fellow, and has
scar on the front part and left side of his
head. His face expresses great determi-
nation, and he looks like a fellow with
sufficient nerve to assist in carrying out
the details of the foul deed Of which he is
suspected. In reply to questions, he gave
his name as Martin Burke, and said he
was from Chicago, and on his way to the
old country. On it being pointed
out to him that this was not
the way to the old country Burke seemed
confused, and after some hesitation
said he was just taking look aroun
before going. He further stated that
he had left Ireland four years ago, pro-
ceeding straight to Chicago where he was
employed by the corporation. He knew
Cronin to see him, but was not personally
acquainted with him. Burke further
stated that he was not member OF the
Clan ma Gael, and would claim Brit
ish protection and refuse to 60 back
with the Chicago officer. Burke, IL
purchasing his ticket for Liverpool,
gave his name as w. ]. Cooper. He does
not look like the innocent man who was
outraged over arrest, but takes his arrest
as a matter of course. He arrived here
on Saturday night and put up at sec
ond -class hotel. He did not register. In
his valise was found felt hat supposed
to have belonged to DIR. Cronin. The
name inside Of the hat appeared to be
blotted out with the aid of chemicals.
The chief Of police sought to restore the
letters, and characters to correspond
with Cronin's name were clearly dl5tIn-
guished.
The prisoner admitted this afternoon
| that he has brother in Chicago, so that
| there is now little doubt that he is one Of
| the famous Williams brothers. Burke's
solicitor, in response to questions, sald
| his intention was to resist to the bitter
| end any effort to extradite the prisoner
| The Chicago officer is expected to arrive
at two this afternoon.
