cALuxsIEs or THE "caRosIcLE"


Tur San Francisco Chronicle has al
been antagonistic 10 the people Of
Utah, and usually exhibits the same
Ignorance In relation 10 "Mormon"
Affair, that Is displayed by tho majority
Of American journals The Chronicle
Is an enterprising paper and has wide
circulation. II Is pity that Its Wide
awake manager does not set some one
10 write on Utah questions who has a
little knowledge Of his subject and who
will treat the matter with some degree
Of fairness. Ina recent Chronicle edi'
toriai the following appear:
"Tharo has mover been anything In the
conduct Of the leader. Of the Mormon
Church to inspire confidence or to make
the people Of tho United States place any
reliance on their promises. They have
always claimed the right TO absolvo them
selves aud those who served them from
any and every Obligation, on the ground
that the interests Of the Church permitted
and even required Il. and there Is no rea-
son to bolieyc that they have abaiod ono
jot or title Of their preicnsions."
This contains, In the ifsi place, n
misconception Of the facts, aud In the
next place n gross misrepresentation Of
the position taken by the gentlemen re-
ferred TO and Of thcChurch In question.
The people Of the United States who
understand anything Of the course pur-
sued by tho leaders Of the "Mormon"
Church, know very well that they have
always been true 10 their promises,
aud that they have suffered very much
because they would not make promises
they did not intend 10 keep. How
ever mistaken they may DO considered
In their faith and In their mainien.
sncc Of |, In tho face Of opposing public
sentiment, their sincerity has been con-
coded by thinking people who have
known what II has cost those
leading men 10 decline making
agreements which were demanded
Of them A. the price Of their
liberty and their release from tho
pressure ofthe law.
The "Mormon" leaders have never
done anything which would Justify n
lack Of confidence In their word. Hut.
Oh tho contrary, their whole course,
through the difficulties that have en-.
compassed thcm, las been Of q chapc.
Ter 10 inspire confidence, at lcas, In
their integrity, and give full reliance
TO promises which they Nigh, agree TO
make.
The statement that they have
"alwsys," or ever, claimed tho
RICH, to absolve themselvc. or
others from "Any and cvory obllga.
tion" on any ground whatever, Ia n
falsehood that has no basis for H. sup

there Is nothing In tho doctriue- or
regulations Of the Church 10 warrant
H. The mormon" people do not be.
