WHO WE'RE RESPONSIBILITY

A friend, writing 10 the Deseret
News, requests an answer to the ques.
tlon; "Who killed the Prophet Joseph
smth?" lie informs US that this has
been a subject Of discussion, some per-
sons attrlbutlng the crime to a secret
order and others charging 1t to differ
ent parties.
From the best information drawn
from both Mormon and non-"Mor-
NOM sources, It Is very clear that the
assassination Of the Prophet and patrl-
arch Of the Church of Jesus Christ Of
Latter.day Saints WAS the work Of an
organized mob, composed Of different
lawless clements There We're, I'M
doubtedly persons engaged IN the as
sault upon Carthage jail belonging to
a secret order in that nelghborhood.
but there were also In II individuals
aroused 10 anger by political and re-
Iigious anmositles, ANA others by per-
sonal hate OF those martyrs to the
truth, because Of the exposure Of the
wckedness and corruption Of those
participants in the cruel murder
TO fasten the crime upon any one
special element in the combination OF
helllsh forces that succeeded in she'd
ding the blood Of those two anointed
servants Of God, would be unjust and
Incorrect. The facility with which
professors Of different religions who or
dinariy arc at swords points respect
ing their cIashlng creeds, can come
together and fuse for the purpose OF
attacking the common enemy-the Lat
ter-day Saints, Is well known 10 all
close observers Therefore, the union
Of those different classes and persons
who formed the mob at Carthage, Is
not at all surprising.
The guilt rests not upon one individ-
ual or one class, but upon all who were
engaged in the bloody work or who aid
ed and abetted It officially or otherwise,
or who screened the assasslns or in any
Wy condoned their guilt The TRACE
dy is a horrible thing of the past.
Some Of It's perpetrators have gone to
their doom, All Of them will eventu-
ally have TO answer for their capital
offense, and we will leave them In the

over that dark and gloomy page Of the

II Is unfortunate IL not exceptional,
that the United States can not be salts

policy Of self-lnterest, without attempt
ing TO explain it as n dlslnterested and

basis that the war with Spain was un-
dertaken, resulting In the Philippines
being annexed and Cuba being put I'M

al resources are enormous, but the

IT is plain that they will not long re-
sist American extension southwark

CUPID IN THE WAR.

Someone has. conceived the idea OF
sending $4,000 young, good looking Eng
fish women to South Africa for the pur-
pose Of completing the conquest Of the
two Boer states. The plan is brilliant.
II is hoped that at least one-third OF
these women will capture a sturdy
Boer, and hold him captive for life.
That, should result In the conversion
Of say 10000 former followers of Kru-
ger, to the British cause. Loyalty to
the British sweethearts and wives
should mean loyalty to the British flag.
Then, In the course Of few years
there should be from this union 100 900
citizens born loyal to Great Britain,
because OF their mothers.
Cecil Rhodes, 1t seems, left 81 100000
for the furtherance OF this conquest,
and this money is TO be handled by the
Countess OF Warwick. In this scheme
Of assimilation through the heart, It
is the purpose Of Lady Warwick and
those who are her aids to be careful
not to send to Pretoria and Johannes
burg adyenturesses and spectators, II
Is stated that real colonists are want
ed, persons willing and eager to make
their homes in the Transvaal. The only
thing asked Of these colonists Is that
they are attractive. II Is argued that
If the British girls are placed where
the young Beers can see them and as
sociate with them, they will prefer the
foreign beauties to the home product.
There is no doubt that the lntermar-
rlages thus planned are a most direct
and effective means of assimilation Of
races. When the descendants Of Abra-
ham entered Canaan, they were espec-
Tally commanded not TO take the daugh-
ters OF the alien races for wives. The
purpose was to keep their own race
pure, physically and morally. In South
Africa the policy is the reverse. II is
to mix the races in the interest Of
British patriotism and culture.
There win be trouble ahead. though,
for the English maidens that come
with the express purpose Of depriying
the Boer damsels Of their prospective
husbands. And II the Boer women ore
as belligerent as they have been said
TO be- there will be another war In AZ

MR.. BRYAN.

The way things look now-the way
democratic conventions in different
states are declaring, and the way they
are ignoring Mr.. Bryan and his views
it would seem that this great leader
will have but a minimum of power in
the great convention which will nomi-
nate democratic candidate for Presi-
dent in 1904. The forces of Mr.. Bryan
are, or seem to be, deserving HIM on all
sides. The most rabid 16 to men are
declaring that question to be dead
one, and thus one of Mr.. Bryan's
strongest props is being knocked from
under him. Right or wrong, this seems
to be the situation and it is everywhere
visible. This is the situation now. A
determination to reorganize tho demo-
cratic party under new leader is
every where apparent. Who this new
leader will be no one can now say, But
what will Mr.. Bryan do? That is .he
question Will he quietly submit to
being cast, aside? 1t must be conceed.
ed that he still has followers, and al.
though they are likely to be in 6
minority IN 1904, will he and they
agree to abide the action OF the con.
vention in 1904? We fear it is doubt
ful, and if they do not the chances fol
democratic success in that year are
greatly lessened Let us hope that Mr.
Bryan will acqulesce and that he vii
urge his followers, or those who agre,
with him to do likewise.
