The New York MaHand Erpress.
the editor Of which is a religious
fanatic, commenting upon the
iurore which some excited people
are trying to raise over the ssAIor-
mona colony IN Canada, says:
"Mormonism biights whatever II
touches"
Now, does the piOus N1R and
ET1'ress man really believe that?

rant Of the history Of the times to

well known that wherever s.Afor-
monism has held sway, If for ever
80 brief a period, Improvement
development, progress have marked
its presence. In Missouri, in ILL.,
nois, in Utah, its influence has
been to build up, to cause the
wilderness and the solitary place to
be glad, the desert to blossom like
the rose, and quickened nature To
rejoice and praise the Great Greater
while it yields its treasures unto
man.

THE GERMAN EMPEROR.

ONLY n few months ago, the
statesmen Of Europe looked with
anxiety 10 the doings Of the young
ruler Of the Germans When he
allowed the ''lron-chancellor'' to
retire and nominated an old soldier,
comparatively unknown in diplom-
attic circles, TO the first office in the
empire, this was thought to indi-
rate that a departure was 10 be made
from the Peaceful policy Of Bis
marck, and also that the young
Emperor wanted to hold the reins
Of the realm in his own hands. Ii
was feared that the inexperieDce Of
the Emperor would precipitate seri-
Gus troubles on the European COR
tinent And the speeches which
the Emperor delivered on various
occasions were not calculated to in
spire much hope for the preserva-
ton Of the peace.
So far, those fears have proved to
be without foundation. The En-
peror in placing himself at the head
Of the government has gradually
gained the confidence Of his sub
jects, and the foreign powers COM
mence TO look upon him as n polit'-
cally Intelligent farseeing man. His
extensive travels which have a.
ready earned for him the cognomen
OF The Travelling Emperor" have !
had n tendency to strengthen his |
friendly relations with the great |
powers that hold the fate Of Europe |
in their hands.
Although his enieavors TO iden-
tify himself with the cause Of the
workingmen led to no results of |
practical value, yet his intentions
were no doubt good, and his efforts
gained him many friends.
On the whole, the statesmen Of Eu-
rope ere gradually coming TO the
conclusion that Germany's present
ruler has inherited the spirit Of his
One thing Germany at present
needs more than anything else: an
alienation OF her many military
burdens. In the military districts it
Is no uncommon thing TO see women
and children and aged men working
in the field, as best they can, while
the young and able men are parad-
ing the streets as soldiers. This is
4 curse that, like consumption,
wastes away the life Of the body Of
the State. But II is to lie feared
that, at present, no remedy against
this evil is to Ice found. The pres
ent Emperor, at all events, is not
likely TO take any steps towards the
Of this, one Of the
greatest evils Of modern times, the
vast standing armies Of Europe.

he would heed the Bible texts with
which he heads his columns while
the body Of the paper Is q standing
contradiction TO those scriptural
precepts, he would hear n matter
before he decides IL, he would ex-
anime both sides of the Mormon"
mon controversy before he con-
demns "Mormonism,D and he
would exercise a little more charity
and Christian truth. And before
he says more about blighting, he
should at least learn from current
events what "Mormonismv has
done towards the growth, progress
and grandeur Of the nation, and the
up and development Of the

AN ENCOURAGING CHANGE.

WE ARE surprised TO see in the
New York Independent any words
Of liberation and sentiments Of jus
tice toward the Latter-day Saints.
That religious journal has been bit
fer and bigoted in its utterances on
"M0rmonr aifIirs, exhibiting gross
ignorance rs to facts, as well rs ex-
treme hostility to the Church whose
principles it has never fairly repre-
scented. But in the Independent Of
August Iith We find a summary Of
the opinion OF the Supreme Court
Of the United States on the confis-
eaton Of the mormon" Church
property, with the annexed COM
ments:
'rhe decision oithe supreme Court.
OF course, settles the question Of law:
and yet, IS il seems 70 Us. the argu-
meut is carried 10 its EXTREMIST
length, and comes very near the con-
fines OF injustice, IL it does not ac,u-
ally involve this result. The taking
Of private property from its owners
without Just compensation, as Is done
in an act o; coniiscAtion, is, except in
very extraordinary circumstances,
usually regarded As an act Of robbery.
Mormon po,ygamy we abominate,and
earnestly favor every, just measure for
its Suppression; but We would no. al
the same time forget that Mormons
are human beings, and the most Of
them citizens o. the United States, and
that as such, they have civil rights
which ought to be respected. jos:
and righteous ends ought always 10 be
sought by iust and righteous means
When so pronounced an anti
''MormOn" paper as the Independent
regards the act OF escheating the
property Of the Mormon Church
as unjust and unrighteous, it can
not be neas0nably elaine that the
'Mormons" are ''factious, ;; or ssre-
bellious," or ''seditious'' for view |
ing it ia the same light. II the
whole country could only be
brought to understand the truth oil
the matter, aud the motives that lie
hidden behind the confiscatiop
movement, there would be such a
storm Of indignation aroused. that |
1t would shake the Capitol to its
very foundations and stir up both
judges and Legislators to at least a
little equity and fairness in regard |
to the "Mormon" question.
We hope the New York LdsDen-
d5'it will investigate a little further
and, the polygamy bugbear apart,
become little more reasonable on
the subject Of ''Alormonism,, and
the believers in Christ who have
adopted the principles Of that system
Of faith and practice.
