ANo INTOLERANCE


A recert issue OF New York's star
yellow journal, run by a u0toriety.
seeking individual named Hurst. pub
fishes what It dcnomlnates as a picture
Of President Lorenzo Snow and family.
In part the Journal says;
"IIere is proof that Lorenzo Shows
statement concerning the implied I'M
outstanding with the nation when Utah
entered the Union as State Or in
other words that the MOrmons re.
noupced poygamy aud gave up polyg-
amous relations, Is an absolute false.
hood. II Is a photograph of Lorenzo
Snow, his five wives and forty.nine Of
his children. The picture was taken
at family reunion held only last Au-
gust II is declared thot these are not
all OF PresidenG Shows wives or child
ren. There is pretty good evidence
that he is the father OF more than
sixty children. II Is said that he has
been married to several women since
the Mormons swore tn abandon polyg-
amy. To get around the law. IL Is
declared. the marriages were celebrated
either ia Mexico or Canada. There Is
ample proof, even II the photograph did
not show it so well, that President
Snow has not ceased polygamous rela.
tons with his wives since the Mani
festo,' or since the understanding
with the Nation The original photo
graph Of which this is reproduction
is in the possession of the Presbyterian
Board of Home Missions, and the copy
was furnished to the Journal by the
Rev. William r.. Campbell, for twelve
years Presbyterian mission worker
in Utah"
The Deseret News very properly calls
the Journal down in vigorous style for
its barefaced falsehoods, among the
statements of the News being the as
sertion that President Snow has not
had a picture taken for fifteen years
and that none Of the group reproduced
by the Journal resemble either him or
any member Of his family. We msy
say that this Is only another instance
OF the despicable tactics being adopted
by the enemies of Utah to defeat this
State In It's representation In Congress.
As TO the church phase OF the matter
the News States that Rev Mendon
was "a notorious preacher, who figured
some time ago, very little to his credit,
at Mendon. Cache county, Utah. His
reputation for varaclty among his
neighbors and associates was of the
very worst. Ailidavits can be furnished
whenever necessary to prove that his
word is worthless, aud that he scruples
at nothing to Willy the "Mormonsn and
further his own. ends.n
We don't know Mendon, but we do
know Others who prefix the title REV"
to their signature, who like him would
scruple at nothing 10 defeat the .Mor-
mons' aud TO increase their contribu-
tions from the East. IL is a case where
those whose doctrine should be peace
on earth good will to ward men," are
lending their aid to notwithstanding
journalistic wolves, who know nor care
for either truth or justice.

NEW YORK, December 22.-Ex-
Alderman Charles ]. Smith, better
known as Silver Dollar" Smith, died
to-day at his home in this city. He

leading Republican politician in this
city. He was the supreme political
power in the Eighth assembly district
for many years.
When Mr.. Smith established his
saloon on Essex street twelve years

between the blocks of marble were
cemented 400 silver dollars and 2,400
more N the panels of the bar and other
fixtures, making total of $500.
