NOT VERY CHRISTIAN.

THE Rev. Anus Jujson Bailey,
Cougregatlonalist clergyman, Of
Ogden, has taken the Christian
Cynosurs 10 task because OF incorrect
and unlustihable comments made by
that religious Journal with reference TO
the Faulkner Home Rale Bill"
Following Is An excerpt from Mr..
Balley's communication;
"ln tho CynogrDe OF February u. on
the first pago isa short refcrancoio Ulah

longing for supremacy, and anxious 10

Of the Idaho legislature, and ono Of tho
foremost men 10 push through Tho Idaho

been known ~ an anti. Mormon, and his
law partner Is often called "A Mormon

scheme to push through Congress legis-
lation which might give a limited state
hood, because there was no hope OF got
ting statehood, and they preferred half a
loaf to no bread This measure Ia en-
ginecred by tho Democrats, and opposed
by the Liberals"
The CyHosure, instead Of standing
corrected upon this subject, challenges
the tTuthiulness OF the statements Of It's
own correspondent. Its diseourtesy to
the gentleman Ia In no way disguised

win all due respect Tor the opinions
OF our esteemed correspondent in Utah,
whose letter we print ON page Of this
Issue, there Ia evidently more Mormon
ism In the proposed Home Rule for that
Territory than he is disposed to admit
1t will be observed that the assertions
OF Mr.. Bailey are not given rs m itters
