Daughters of Mormons Uphold the
Greed of Their Fathers.

DHu.hsers OF hOFmOns DhOId the
Greed Of Their Fathers.
New York. April 4.-Fierce attacks were
made on the reign of the Latter Day
Saints, in Utah. al the annual meeting of
The Woman's Board of Home Missions OF
the Presbyterian Church, at No I5s Fifth
Avenue, yesterday. Among the speakers
were the Rev. DR.. Winfield Scott Hawkes..
Congregational clergyman, who has spent
eleven years in Utah, Wyoming. and Mon
tana; the Rev. DR.. Thomas c. Tiff. super
intendent. of the Methodist Mission. in
Utah. and Eugene Young, a grandson of
Brigham Young.
The declaration was made by the speak
ers that the only hope for the extinction
of polygamy lay in the young men of the
Mormon Church, great proportion of
whom were strongly opposed to the sys-
TEN.
The young women, on the contrary. they
declared, were inclined to favor polygamy.
through the teachings of their mothers.
Young women in Utah were frequently
heard TO say: I'D rather be the second
wife of prominent elder in the church
Than the slave of some poor man."
Mormonism was conceived in decep-
uon." said DR.. Hawkes.. IF the devil ever
had his hand in anything, he had his hand
IN this plan to forge chains upon women.

Gentiles were being driven from Utah by
the existing conditions. THE United States
law was being vigorously enforced" he
said, when i went to Salt Lake in 1887.
The non-Mormon residents said the con-
ditions Were bad enough then, however.
and expressed their fears of what would
occur when the Mormons were in full con-
troll. Now the congregation of Methodist
and Presbyterian churches have dwfndled
away. One church which had sixty mem
bers at that time has now only five"
Mormorism has come before the nation
as surprise again." said Mr. Young.
The Mormon leaders had told us that
poiygamy was dead. They said that here
after Americanism should rule in Utah.
But now the issue which was presented in
Utah after the civil war is before us
again.
When / visited Utah recently I found
Mormonism as strong as it ever was.
But the same forces which operated to
drive the Mormons across the plains are
now operating TO drive Brigham III. Rob
erts out of Congress.
Il asked a woman in Salt Lake what she
knew about the renewal of polygamy. She
said she had living with her a young girl
who received visits from married mem

Relief at Hand Had He Only Known
Where to Look For 1t.
Let us, my good friends, always suit
our tools to the work to be done. We do
not trim our nails with broadswords or
carve statues with adzes. Now a word is
a tool, just as a hoe is, or razor. The
figure of Liberty on a quarter of dollar
is impressed there by machine made for
the purpose. BY the same token words
were invented to imprint thoughts and
ideas on the minds of others. And every
word or expression has a currency meaning
of its own so long as We refrain from using
them in a slack or careless way.
Just as the Lord Mayors coach, or ones
own best clothes are not intended for every
little trumpery occasion, so great words
should be reserved till the time comes
when nothing else will do. When man
singes his whiskers by the slovenly ham
ding OF lighted match We do not rouse
up the fire department
Now the word "excruciating' is one of
the strongest words in the English Ian
guage. 1t tingles with sharp significance
as black cats back snaps with electricity
on a frosty night. Only shallow people
will take liberties with this word. In our
ordinary talk it does not come properly
into play once a year, and rightly so. For
it alludes to q kind of mental or physical
suffering that We desire TO avoid thinking
or speaking of. If the root meaning of the
word "excruciating' escapes you for the
moment, look it up in the dictionary. II
is word with a pedigree. and its ances-
tors have supped with horrors since men

The question then that you and have to
settle is, whether Mr.. George B. Simpson
employed this dignified and exclusive word
justifiably when he said. Il was troubled
twelve years with much pain in the small
of my back. So continuous was it that
