residing IN Utah and elsewhere. Thai
they are bitterly opposed to the Nor
mon church Is well authenticated
fact; that the ministers in the west are
constantly disappearing the Saints
IN Utah Is verify true; that they are
engaged In stirring up persecution
against the Mormon elders who are
travelling as missionaries throughout
he world, is also well understood by
every Mormon, jew and Gentle
throughout the land of the Saints. 1t
Is also q well established ruth. that 90
per cent OF MI mobs raised against the
Mormon Elders are always headed by
some reverend gentleman(?) who claims
TO be personal Representative of that
Master whose mission was "peace on
earth and good will toward man" Then
again, we believe b. IL. Roberts, more
than any other member of the Mormon
church, Is the person whom these min.
listers have a desire TO attack. He
is an acknowledged orator Of great
ability. is logical in his arguments, aud
those reverend divines who know him,
simply shake like aspen leaves when
ever Brigham II Roberts makes his APP
pearance IN public. either to defend his
own religion or speak in opposition to
the man-made cieeds OF the day. These
being the facts in the case, as we see
them, we imagine the ministers were
exceedingly happy when this splendid
opportunity presented itself to appeal
to the prejudices of the people, and NJ
the same time use IL ms d club with
which to punish the man whom they
are all afraid to meet In any other way.
We presume that, so far as the minis.
tiers are concerned. this is the real
meat IN the cOcOanut.

New York Herald: / seem to have

David Christie Murray, the writer.
There is the cruel aud scandalous lar,
who makes mischief 10 your home or

the greatest curses Of social life. There
is the man who lies for profit and he

unwary. Then there is the man who
lies because OF his own exaggerated
sense Of self-importance, aud the con.
slant craving TO astonish or interest
other people. lie is almost harmless,

PUBLIC LIBRARY.

For q community OF the size Of
Provo public library is most desira
BILE and may also be regarded as an
absolute necessity. Several efforts
have been made In the past to organize
and establish such an institution, but
we regret that these efforts have here
tofore tailed. The Utah Sorosls has
now taken the matter In hand and
proposes to push IL. Already twenty
two volumes bave been secured by this
society, and Il liz proposed TO give a
series of entertainments for the benefit
Of the library fund. We believe that
the city council should take this mat
ter up. 1t Is matter OF Importance
TO the city and a matter of public en-
terprise. The value OF a public library
to any community Is much greater
than any possible cost. We trust the
ladies' society will be given aid and
encouragement both from the city and
the puoIic.

ABOUT ROBERTS.

The last issue OF the Southern Star
OF Chattanooga, Tenn, says In regard

So far, the Star is about the only
journal In the United States that has

reason for explaining our opinion In
connection with that expressed by so
many newspapers in the NortL aud

under which the purchase is contemplated Is de-
cded
The Commissioners report that in the event OF an
adverse decision by the Supreme Court they have
worked out a plan which II acceptable to the own
ers of the railways and approved by the Common
Council and electors would enable the people OF
Detroit even In advance OF the decision Of the Su
preme Court II desired TO avail themselves OF such
advantages under private ownership surrounded
by such safeguards will protect the people In
their enjoyment until the power shall be secured to
