The governor, the mayor. the city coun-
Gil, the police and the United States mar
shals, while they may try to execute the
laws fairly, are in sympathy with the Lid
erals.
Another reason why warn Congressman
against the men who have been here kick
ing against the Mormons land were KICKED
back, is this:
They know too much.
While in conversation with Major ED,
twenty yearling in Utah. he said:
81 first thought that the Mormons coulo
do away with polygamy by receiving new
dispensation; but after studying their
Bible for four years. more or less, learned
| that dispensation once made could not be
altered as it was the oracle OF Cod"
Now l wish to say something about
oracles and dispensations. :
| was a member of the Congregational
| church when the word of God, as taught
by the clergy of that church, contained
| literal hell of fire and birthstone IN abund-
ance and it all seemed intended for me, as
1 was backslider. There was hardly a
Sunday but that the good, old preacher
roasted me over hot bed or sulphur.
Even after three-fourths of the members
ceased to believe in q sulphurlc future at
all the preachers kept at it, and continued
to hold their congregations over the grid
irons of everlasting fire until hve-sixth
! of the members ceased to believe that way,
, when ''all of sudden they let up.
, How did the change come abouts
There was no new dispensation, nor any
new version. 1t came to pass in this way:
They simply dropped it
: The Bible remained the same, but the
: preachers are changed
. This harping on old passages from Old
dispensations to disfranchise race is the
] worst sort of superstition.
S But you say they are priest fldden
: class, and owe allegiance to Higher
Power than the government of the United
/ States.
t The Protestants, who have taken the
g pains to delve through the edicts OF the
S Roman Catholic church, can scrape up
e enough papal DEGREES to disfranchlse
S every member of that church on similar
!, grounds.

n true, send for the back numbers OF On,

Even as diplomatic a person as the EN-
Sc peror of Germany learned by sad eXperl
ence and some humiliation to the imperia
crown, that the Pope of Rome could b
m better used than abused The Queen o
Great Britain and the President OF tn
o. United States respect His Holiness.
e. Because Catholic believes that his Go

Id President Harrison, and that His word ]
as good to tie to, does it make him ba
he citizen!
is Because Mormon thinks that Brighal
ot Young was superior ruler to the preser
e. governor of Utah, should he be disfral
sr- chised for so thinking!
ed While the Mormon believes implicitly
of Joseph Smith, he obeys the governor
on Utah, or pays the penalty.
IL AS for myself am led to believe thu
IN the DEGREES of Pope Leo XIII are mol

as of the Catholic church than the proclaim

lch Every person who has employed Catho
