pressed by the forms and ceremonies of their worship till they really cannot tell what they do believe, but believe in something heartily. An example of the way Brigham Young "played them for suckers" is told that once when pork went way up in Chicago and St Louis he had reuelation that pork was unclean meat and that all the Saints must send their porkers to him at Salt Lake to have the blood spilled as a sort of sacrifice. When the porkers cam @ in Brigham shipped them east and slid the cash received for them into his pocket, doubtless having a reuelation that he could use it better than the rightful owners.
 It is to be most sincerely hoped that law, order and the true religion of the Saviour will prevail in this land, which is indeed goodly heritage, and with the advance of energy, education and irrigation will be fair to look upon.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
THE EDITOR LOCATED, BUT THE HOME MISSIONARIES AND THE PRIESTS ARE STILL MISSING.

Editor Beckley:
 If you, son of Christian parents, companion of an estimable woman, reared in the "land of steady habits, '' cannot study your bible. without being chased and coaxed, let me advise you to 7'emain in darkness with regard to the principles it teaches.
 Where are the home missionaries who are willing to assist an over- burdened mother with her weekly mending, or Saturdays baking, that when Sunday morning dawns she may not be so nearly exhausted that she can not meet with others in "house of worship" where it is supposed that the bible is intelligently read and explain ed Where are the priests, Ministers of the Lord," who are commanded to "weep between the porch and the altar ?" "Spare thy people, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them"
