one OF the brightest men in public
Ire IN this country. When the
nlled cheese bill was before the
House the other day Mr.. Deliver
spoke rs follows: 81 say, give the
American COW a fair chance. She
has been the faithful servant of
man. She landed with our aces
tors at Ply--outh Rock, and, tied
behind the old, weatherbeaten
emlgrant wagon, she has marched
with the household goods of phone
ers who have taken possession of
this continent, from ocean to o..ean.
(Applause.) She has increased,
multiplied aud replenished the
earth until today the. industries
which h has made possible
contribute annually to the wealth
of the world more money than the
great combinations Of modern
capital-more than iron and steel;
more than lumber and coal; more
than cotton and wheat; more than
all the mysterious riches of gold
and silver. Yet there are men in
the House whom l have heard to-
day sneerlng at this bill who spend
most of their time trying to get
protection for some insignificant
local enterprise or talking through
their hats" in the silver debate.
L say, give the American cow fair
chance! For myself, am in favor
of the monopoly that God gave
her-in the production of butter
and cheese. And if every man in
this House who in the days of his
boyhoods gets up at daylight to
feed the COWS and stayed up after
dark in order to milk them; if
every man who has churned actual
cream with a reliable upright chu, n
and has watched with boys

process Of making cheese iii the

Bishop James Andrus presiding.
Bishop Andrus read telegram
to president Macarthur, stating
that apostle Abraham H. Cannon
died this morning. Funeral SER
vice will be held next Sunday.
A. w. lvins, president of the
Mexican Sta, said that wherever
the Latter day Saints are as
tembled to-day, where there is
selegraph communication, they
are in mourning over the death of
apostle abraham Fl. Cannon. He
gave description of the apostles
and Saints in the days of the
Saviour and of the shameful death
of the Saviour and his apostles;
that Peter was cruci6ed with his
head downward, because he did not
consider himself worthy to die the
same death as his Lord and Master.
Also showed how Jesus appeared
to the inhabitants of this continent
and established his church on
this land with apostles and officers
and put his church in order, in the
same order as it was established
in Jerusalem. Also showed that
the same gospel that Jesus estab-
lished in this day was again Oh
the earth in this dispensation and
that John, the Baptist, had been
sent to restore the Aaronic Priest
hood which he held in his day, al
so that Peter, James and John,
apostles of Christ in his day, have
been sent also and have brought
the apostleship and restored it to
the earth in this our day. And as
the Lord has always had his holy
priesthood upon the earth when
ever he has had a people on the
earth to whom he has revealed his
will, so he has this same Priest
hood on the earth in our day, and
many of us are blessed with the
great blessing of the Lord to hold
this Holy Priesthood, which is a
greater honor than any potentate
can confer on any man on earth:
Spoke of the great and good
man Abraham H. Cannon who has
departed this life today. Spoke
of his life of usefulness that he
has spent, although one of the
youngest of the twelve apostles OF
this our day.
He appealed to the Latter-day,
Saints to uphold the principles OF
truth and virtue and frown down
iniquity, wherever we see 1t. j..
Bore testimony to the truth OF
the Gospel as taught by the Latter
day Saints.
