these prophecies were made for the
benefit Of the aristocracyo Of the Church
and in order to keep the masses in ig-
norance. He pleaded with the young
men to assert their manhood, and
closed by saying that while twenty
years ago he Travelled by mule-team
through Brigham City, today. by
reason OF Liberal rule and the pro-
gress that Liberalism had caused he
was enabled to travel in a Pullman
car
The speech was indeed''effective. -
1t will have the effect Of causing
those who read the foregoing to
place him as an ignoramus or a
misery economizer OF the truth, or
both combined. He was enabled
to ride through Brigham City on a
Pullman car by reason of the rule
AMI progress of the Peoples Party
the 'Mormons''-although no one
will dispute that he would be more
appropriately at the rear end Of a
span Of mules. The association
would then be harmonious. The
railroad on which he was
travelling was built by Hon. John
w. Young, and others, including
the mormon" people residing
along the route, through Box Elder
and Cache Counties. 1t is also
a matter of recorded history
that the 'MormOns'' built the
Utah ends of the Union Pacific and
Central Pacific now Southern
Pacific) roads-the most mountain
GUS and diff cult part of the original
transcOntinental route. The same
people built, practically unaided,
the original Utah Central and Utah
Southern roads now comprising
part Of the Union Pacific system.
Hon. John w. Young and others
constructed the Utah and Nevada
line which runs to Garfield and
beyond, SO that in whichever direc
ton this delectable specimen OF a
Liberalized falsifier travels, in a
Pullman or any other ear, he is
indebted to the ''rule and progress
of the Peoples Party. Whether
his misstatements be attributed to
ignorance or a "LiEeral'' aversion
to the truth, either would justify
the belief that in his case "degrada-
ton Of the worst kind - has ensued,
whether it has been predicted or
not.
In the face Of the well known
historical facts herein given, the
flatulent ebullitio1 OF falsehood,
called a speech by the Tribune, is
also characterized by that paper as
"a perfect little gem in its way
Correct. That is its aspect from the
Goodwin standpoint. To that jour
nal "Mormon'' falsehoOds are
gems Of sparkling lustre.
This person by the name Of Jones
is evidently a jocular young man,
full Of wit as well as Tribune wis
dom. He afforded much amuse-
ment to the party with whom he
travelled. We quote from the report
Of that paper:
''The Pilgrims amused themselves
in various ways. Mr.. Jones exhibited
10 the Pilgrims a sllver-headed cane
which once belonged to his father,
bearing the following inscription: Il
saw this drink the blood OF the mar
:yred prophet, Joseph Smith The
wood is taken from the jail in Illinois
where the prophet met his death. Mr..
Jones says he purposes carrying the
cane until the last Mormon prophet is
relegated TO his proper sphere. The
relic was viewed with much interest. ~
What a fund Of humOr was in this
cane, and what a hilarious joke was
to this delighted party, embodied in
the inscription; 81 saw this drink
the blood Of the martyred Prophet
Joseph Smith," No wonder they
were highly amused. How their
disabilities must have been brought
into activity at the thought of an
innocent man having been MUIR
dered 10y a mob Of cowardly assas-
sins. Then this person by the name
Of Zones proposes to carry this cane
until the last Mormon Prophet is
relegated to his proper sphere" 1t
is to be presumed that he means
until the last one is murdered.
Now If this miserable wretch who
sought to curry favor with his pcliti-
-cal bed-fellows by going to such
CHASTITY extremes has not reached n
point Of degradation Of the lowest
kind" how much more will he
needed to enable him to get
there
The amusement Of the party Of
politicians over the relic OF the
assassination of the Prophet Joseph
Smith reminds US of a historical
Incident. In 1854 Governor Muir
ray was deputed to go to Washing
ton as lobbyist in his own and the
"Liberal" interest. 1t was neces-
sary to furnish him with some
mormon atrocities" that he might
stuff Congressman with them. The
Tribune, of which Mr.. Goodwin is.
and was then, the editorial head,
published what was asserted by that
paper, to be Sc red hot address, -
delivered on the previous Sunday,
at a small hamlet named Juab, by a
Mormon" Bishop named West.
The latter was represented as hav-
ing melted his hearers to acts of
violence against Governor Murray.
We quote: ellis head will be placed
upon the walls Of our city and his
entrails scattered throughout the
streets Of Zion." The same paper
upon this alleged ad-
dress, claiming that it was verbatim, !
as delivered by Bishop Vest.
The falsity of this production was
proved beyond question. There |
was no Bishop West in the Church, |
no meeting was held at the place
designated, and no such speech was
ever delivered. Governor Murray
left for Washington the same NOM
ing of the publication, and it was
that he had several hundred
