be helpless In the pending crisis.

great many Russians who never have

Censure Is therefore often directed
against these, and they are picked on

ANOTHER KEARNS GEM.

our readers will please pardon Us for
referring again to the moribund politl-
clan who signallzed his departure from
official life by abusing and mallgning
the Mormon leaders and the people
Of the state which honored him, but an
incident occurred previous to his cleo
tlon, which ought TO be put IN print
as an addition to the collection of his
literary gems. At the time when he
was so eager to obtain the Influence
that would come from Mormon" votes,
he was as full Of adulation over the vir-
tues of Mormon leaders as he is now
Of gan and bitterness against them be-
cause he failed to obtain the aid Of
that influence.
Kearns was IN Cache valley, ION the
stump" at the time We mention, and
his fusome praise Of the Mormon
leaders and pioneers made lasting i'm
preston on The minds of some Of his
hearers. Those who relate the story
vouch for IT'S accuracy, being present
on the occasion and not dependent up
on the testimony Of others. In his eulo-
gy Of the Mormon authorities. he
spoke OF their work as pioneers In the
settlement OF Utahs valleys, and ex-
claimed IF II had not been for those
great men and their labors, these ere
streams that now flows down from

This speech ought to be embalmed
and exhibited between his celebrated
orations about "The beautiful island Of

declared that cold Is now so plentiful
that II is n1wln' into the lap Of every
