THE "MORMOYs.As COLONIzERs

THE following, which appeared
in the Phoenix (Arizona) Gazette, as
correspondence written at Tempe,
May 10th, gives n fair idea of the
quality Of the Latter-day Saints rs
coloEizers OF new and undeveloped
portions Of the country:
I'VE hear much these DAYS about
the Mormons, and their habits. in
dustry' etc, but not many people IN
dersiand them.
The writer WIS here when the
Ness Mormons arrived at their now
beautiful surroundings.
THE handful Of Mormon emigrants.
who located at Mesa, As the site Of a
colony, had a keen insight into the
future. The little band consisted Of
about nine families, and few camp
followers. After pitching their tents
on the river bottom. and making an
inventory Of their worlds goods, which
was comprised chiefly Of few head
Of stock, they went to work with
thorough appreciation Of the adage
that labor conquers all things. Doctor
Jones, an old timer and civil engineer.
surveyed the route Of their proposed
canal. This done, the work Of cutting

for a distance Of nine miles, COM
menced in dead earnest, in the month
Of February, ISIS.
1.-The total force mustered on the
canal for the fins, few months never
wsntabove twelve men, yet in the face
Of almost insurmountable obstacles,
laboring under the midday blaze Of
tropical sun, without the shadow Of
shade, with insufficient food at times
FOR men or beasts, that handful Of
wanderers, in search Of a permanent
abiding place, kept on day by day,
working on the problem Of turning a
barren desert into vast orchard and
vineyard.
To wealthy company. such an I'M
deriaking would be but a trifie in the
annals Of its transactions; but to those
twelve hardy sons OF toll who mus
tered on that February day. on the
banks Of the salt River, to dig and
delve for many a weary day and
month, 1t was an undertaking on their
part fraught with the veal or woe Of
their future deStinies. Pluck and
perseverance, however. iriumphed
over all obstacles. and the final

result Of nine months labor was
the proud satisfaction Of seeing water
flowing over our present iownsiie.
The flow Of water was then but mere
irickle TO what we have now, and
what with breakages and rat holes, it
required two or three shares Of water
the INST two years Of settlement, 10
irriga,e a five acre patch in week.
Taking this into consideration. and
the fact that with the exception Of a
few teams left after their long and
weary task, as well as the little band
being financially down TO bed rock. j.
is no eause for surprise that but little
progress was made in improving and
cultivating their holdings, during the
first three years Of settlement.
Soon, however, well-;o-dO settlers
began 10 arrive. and with the usual
generosity so proverbial among Nor
mons, Of aiding one another. COM
bined with what the younger
members Of the family could bring in
by freiShting, the elders managed TO
start little patches OF fruit trees
and grape vines, which have
since, and now are being rap
idly developed into Immense orchards
and vineyards, and which before
many more seasons roll by. will be
proof positive, OF the Mesa being the
best fruii-growing portion OF North
America. l. Will be seen from the
ADORE that the Mesa was almost Al
standstill during its frs; three years OF
colonization; with 4 canal that re-
quired continual repairs, a broken
exchequer, and without a permanent
leader, such As they had been used TO
in the hills and valleys Of Usah, il is
surprising indeed that they did not
disperse. family by family, until they
had scattered far and wide over the
coast
The early teachings Of the founders
Of their creed-frugality, sobriety, in
dustry and patience came in right

the desert, and the spread Of their
creed-they KEEP; on right maufully

canal, until they have now one that =
capable Of irrigating $500 acres Of
land.
The results Of the labors OF these
pioneers can now be daily seen in the
grain and hay fields. in our orchards
loaded down with fruit Of every des-
crip,ion; in our vineyards bearing five
to eight tons Of luscious grapes 10 the
acre; in our bees, producing our
honey; in cur sorghum mills, turning
out our syrup; in our strawberry beds,
yielding abundantly; and, on every
rancher's table fat looking 'spuds" Of
his own raising: and at this season Of
the year, neat cottages on every hand,
fronted by may walks and flower
beds seeming the air for rods with 4
fragrant perfume, until one imasines
he IS in some fairy land, instead Of
sitting under his own cool zig tree.

But the paragraph last quoted
shows what the organ in which 1t
appears regards as "rebellion," and
'treason," and sedition' against
this Republic. II is the denuncia-
ton Of certain individuals who held
authority under the Government.
According 10 its view Of the subject,
no "MOrmon" has any right to ex-
pose the wrong-doing Of any Fed
eral official; and If he ventures TO do
30, that Is an endeavOr 10 cOver
throw the Republic" This to us IS
the veriest trash and the baldest
kind OF babyism.
We confess to our utter contempt
for some Of the Representatives, the
Government, who have been fOisted
upon suffering Utah and have
served cut their brief terms Of POM
pous authority and then gonetlown
into their natural obscurity. We
are sure that a similar fate awaits
al OF their kind who take the same
course, and who try to use their
official opportunities for personal
ambition or individual aggrandise-
meut. But this does not lessen in
the smallest degree our admiration
Of the principles and system Of this
great government nor cur respect
FOR IT. lawfully exercised authority.
We have no worship Of men in
our creed or our constitution. We
20 not think that allegiance 20 this
Republic requires it. We know
that the men whom the Liberal
organ delights in Gefaming were the
friends Of the nation and fired with
the loftiest patriotism. But they de-
spised time-seesers, demagogues and
blatherskites, and so do we. And
among the persons sent here-politi-
cal garbage dumped upon Utah
have been some Of the poorest
specimens of official humanity ever
shipped TO distant points to get rid
Of their opportunities for Office.
Such persons were denounced by
leading 'Mormons," but these who
told the truth about such men, did
not think tor a moment that they
were saying anything against the
Government or the nation.
We would be glad if we could
think that the authors Of the later
Misrepresentation Of the "Mor-
mons" believed what they set forth
Is Mormon doctrine. There
might then I've some probability
.Bat they could lie convinced
OF their error. But the will
ful perversions Of fact and speech
which are common TO their paper
auG its methods forbids any such
belief. They viii, no doubt, go on
in their way Of deceit until they
nave filed up the cup OF their in
ilu!ty. Once in 4 while we deem
it proper to notice their aspersions,
but usually We pass them by as foul
o. lille wind. and our silence must
not be construed by any means into
assent.

Third Partyism.

KeOkuk Gate Gty: The fact that
thi ty-five years ago there were six.
teea states in America that could
and did pass prohibitory laws, and
now there are hut six, seems to us
to show the inevitable tendency
about this matter. We look for a
third party movement as to prohibi-
ton, but we expect it to have about
the same history as Quakerism. II
will always be mood Of mind OF
individuals Ii will not probably be
any larger 100 years from now than
II win be next year. Yet surely
mankind will more and more cease
from drunkenness as a habit OF
personal conduct, because OF It's
senselessness and folly.
