copahans, or Presbyterians teach any such doc
trine as that
No, nor the Mormons either. And the
editor who charges them with teaching
such doctrine knows that he lies. Sucf
doctrine is not found in the Mormon creed
but was merely the accidental expression
Of deceased member of the Mormon
church many years ago.
1t may be as we'll to summarize right her,
the position taken by the Tribune editor
against, his law abiding superiors, the
Mormops:
he advocates the Acknowledgement of al
Mormons, irrespective of their past life
present status or future intentions.
He justities the seizure of the property
of the Mormon church and Its diversion tx
the public schools in which the children o.
all sects are educated.
He urges that all Mormons should be de
prived of. the right to enter land IN thi'
country 4
He says the son of a Chinaman is bette,
in this country than the son of Mormon
He has stated that the Mormon boys are
taught treason at their mothers knee
He justities the denial of the right Of
trial by jury in Utah.
H. says he would disfranchise every mar
in Utah if he could have legislative com
mission instead of officers elected by the
people.
A proof of these chargess as we'll as 6
justification for these monstrous proposals
of robbery and persecution is found in the
following from the same paper:
What made the Saints refugees from one
state to another and finally sent them out into
the desert? Were the men Of Ohio all bad
Were the men of Missouri all bad men? o.
was there something in their system incom

antag 0nized country-loving men the moment
they came in collision with them, and which
made { Mormon people Ishmaelites every
where on the face Of the earth?
Because mobs once pillaged the Nor

a set of criminals and deserved no better

The Tribune holds that it is of no avail tc

nor to endeavor to educate them, for he de-

He 1.-THE correspondent thinks it would be q
great help if they could have books and tracts
and frequent meetings. Why, what is to hinder
that now? What is there to hinder it excep,
the determination of this people not to buy the
books or the tracts?
1t thus appears from the Tribune editors
showing that there must be no efforts tC
aid the Mormens; there must be no national
politics here; it is even useless to circulate
tracts or form Republican or Democratic
clubs, for the Mormons won't read Moth

he asks the Gentiles of Utah to stand in
with the Tribune while the contemplated
crimes are being consummated. Will they
do it, No. Already the independence and
fairness of some have been manifested. and
others are getting ready to follow them
The efforts of the Tribune to rivet the
rabid anti Mormon collar upon every

contempt and execration.
