give him the necessary prestige to
collect money In the East, threw ter
rible dampsr over the enterprise. The
work done by Hlll, the plagisri-t,
although he Ia not whit bet
ter than the defeated Small, seem.
likely 70 be more profitable 10 the con
cern. Both have made falsehood thcif
chief bait In fishing for dollars, but
HIN will probably hook more cash than
Small did and turn In n greater pro-
portion to the treasury Of the proposed
institution.
II Ia expected that $4,000 will
be raised In the vicinity of the
"hub" by aid Of respectable ministers
who have been Induced to back the
caiiIor help. They set forth "the impor'
lance OF this Institution In the solution
Of ihe Mormon problem" aud declare
that II twill be powerful In the inal
overthrow Of the Mormon Hierarchy"
Such desirable contamination will,
Of course, prove powerful Incentive
to generous "Christlans" who know
nothing OF ''AIormonism" but what Is
told them by such unmitigated frauds
~ Hin and Small.
The Boston ioR repeats some Of the
stuirwhich those unprinclpled persons
have set forth, and informs IT, readers
that,
ANY Intelligent, father or mother who
wished To send boy to school whore
he might learn more than the three lVs
would be obliged nj this moment to send
this young person 200 miles to the east
ward or TO tho westward. We arc not
yet used TO such distances. We are In
tho habit ot saying that tho country IL
overtocEod with colleges. Perhaps II
Is In some regions, but certainly not In
tho Territory Of Utah. II Is to MI the
gap which has thus boon lofs--and inion-
iionally lobby the Mormon dominion,
that pr. Hill aud DR.. Harvey arc now
appealing 10 the friends OF sducation, or
To tho friends Of tho country, Tor small
sum OF money for tho support Of Utah
unlversity.n
Any Intelligent Journalist who does
not know better than TO repeat such
stories Ms that, ought TO 10 to college
himself, Oh what would be better per.
haps, take n trip TO Utah. II that ia
too expensive, ho might consult an
official report Of educational statistics
Of this Territory and learn how much
he h helping TO dupe the good people
OF Boston by cchoing the lying state
ments Of lin and Harvey.
The ignorant classes OF Boston are
far more In need Of the expenditure OF
means to III then up from their degra.
dalton aud dirt than any portion Of tue
community here, and tho money asked
for would bo much better expended In
dissipatlug the darkness which hangs
over large portions Of the Modern
Athens, than In building university In
Utahfor what the Post calls "a prac'
tIcal way to stamp out MormUnism."
II "tho stamping out Of Mormon
ism' Is desirable work, We can assur,
the good people OF Boston that they
will accomplish nothing In that .direc'
ton by giving money to build Meth
odist university. 1t win have no NOR,
etiec, upon "Mormonism," or whaI
they call the "Mormon Hierarchy
than the building OF bank has upor
the catching Of fish.
We shall be glad to see tho Univcr
sl,y built ut Ogden. We hope to 50,
institutions Tor higher education In
crease all over the Territory. Tn,
"Aiormon" people are ardent advocates
Of tho spfcad OF intelligence. Utal
occupies very honorable position OF
the list Of llteracy in the United states
We have many excellent schools ,acad
emies and colleges, and one University
within thirty.seven miles Of Ogden
that is, right In Salt Lake City, found
ed by the "Mormons," sustained To-
years by "Niormou" money and "Mor
mon" talent, aud yet an unsectariai
institution Of which any communit,
no older than this might well be prou'
Send on your Boston money for
sectarian college, II you please. 1
