| am not putting the matter too
strongly. The Ministerial Devil Fish

editorials in the Tribune are known to
the great majority of the people of
Utah has bugaboos and lirrationa
falsehoods, which when enlarged and
copied by the eastern religious or
secular press, or magnified by the
lifts, Hills, Presses and Duboises in
the eastern pulpits, become real and
living things.
That is why immigration and cap
ital for the past three years has
passed by Utah and settled in other
states. The advertisement in the
Salt Lake Tribune by respectable
business men of Utah are the only de-
cent things in it, and are the only
things that give it a semblance of re-
spectability and right to exist.
When the business people learn that
their advertisements in the Tribune
are only a cupful of bran in the hands
of butcher, coaxing them to the
slaughter house, they will stop pat
ronizing the Tribune, and then that
scurrilous ulcer that has been gnaw-

in the Mormon band wagon, he hired
Frank Cannon and c. c. Goodwin to
dynamite it.
The Amerikearns party have not
only been dynamiting the Mormon
church, but the state of Utah, ever
since.
Mr.. Meakin stated in an article in
q Buffalo, New York, paper that
The Mormon church is a good in
stitution. 1t has taken the poor man
and made him rich, but never the re-
verse" On the above few lines the
The Tribune saw that such talk would
help Utah by encouraging emigra-
ton and settlers, help the hotels,
business men and the railroads. The
Tribune and the Ministerial associa-
ton are doing all they can to brighten
people away. DR.. Tiff in his eastern
lectures states that the great major
ity of the people of Utah are disloyal
and that they hang the flag at half
mast in every town in Utah on the
Fourth of July to insult the govern
ment; that the vile crime of polyg-
amy is increasing in Utah, spreading
into the adjoining states and terri
tories, corrupting the American home
and defiling the American women;
that the people here were greatly in
jured when Utah became a state and
they are now feeling the bad effects
of that awful calamity; that our
schools are mean and insufficient;
that a Mormon home is harum, etc.
And the Tribune said God bless DR..
Tiff. The Mothers Congress of Phil
adelphia will pass a resolution that
they will not patroniZe any railroad
that passes through Utah, and the
Tribune will send Frank Cannon to
lecture for them to help along their
work to injure Utah. Mrs. Fred r.
Dubois (wife of the noted turncoat
and traitor) will state that Mormon
children are taught to spit on the
flag, and the Tribune will carry Fred
IT, Dubois and his wife around on a
chip. Anything that will scourge, in
jure cast reproach, belittle and in
de'ame Utah, the Tribune is ready to
nurse, encourage and help.

A JESUIT FATHER ON SPIRITUAL
ISM.

The Roman-Catholic Church be-
lieves in the facts Of Spiritualism, but
condemns it's claims and practices as
contrary to the commands of the bible,
and likely to involve those who prac-
tise it in delusion and error. So writes
Father G. G. Franco, S. j., in the Ro-
man Civilta Cattolica, a papal organ.
The spirits who pretend to be the
souls of historic or other persons
come back from the dead may be mere
imposters. At any rate, their actions
and language are often scarcely in
harmony with the character and gen.
ius of the great and good. Doubtless,
