history" who IL not aware OF these
facts is Il very poor authority on any
thing relating to the progress OF affairs
In this great country.
The same may be said IN regard to
Mr.. Elson's reference 10 the Three
Witnesses" He could have learned
what they testified by looking al the
! preface to the Book OF Mormon in
slead " going to VIGOROUSLY uurelia-
De work. from which he copied his cr-
ronsous remarks. He would have found
that those witnesses said nothing about
"the true and only religion but mere
~ gave their testimony 10 that which
was revealed ~ them concerning the
Book and the plates on which Il was
originally written. Further, II he had
used common diligence ana common
fairness in endcavorlng to arrive at
the facts, he would have learned that
each Of those persons. who are now
deceased, always bore solemn witness
TO the truth Of their testimony until
lUNlt very ldhl HpIHtllLe hIoH fNl NAl'
They were communicated from the
Church for cause. but they maintained
the truth OF their testimony concerning
the Book OF Mormon during all their
lives and with their dying breath
There are other mlsstatements In
succeeding paragraphs in Elson's His
tory Of the United States, derived from
similar Enthusiastically sources, but we
do not care to pursue the subject fur
Their. except to draw attention To a
couple OF assertions, which when COM
pared give further proof Of the vera
city Cd OF the historian. lie says: in
1Si3 Smith declared that he had receiv-
ed a new revelation making It lawful
for man TO have more than one Wife,
This was the origin Of polygamy among
the Mormons or Latter-day Saints" In
a later paragraph he remarks: Joseph
Smith. the founder of the Church Of
Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints, was
not polygnmist, and all of his utter
ances were in favor of monogamy."
And that Is the kind OF pabulum pub
lished to the world as part of the His
tory Of tile United strtes We need
add no more In regard to that wonder
ful effort at literary work.

was demolished fully seventy years ago,
when It vas first invented by an apos-
tate from "Mormonsm" who was ex-
communicated for gross immortality.
The proofs of his falsehoods furnished
ut the time of his publication Of work
that has done long service for preachers
and lecturers who have no desire for the
truth, were ample and conclusive. They
were ignored however, by the mallgn-
ers OF the 'Mormons." who repeated
the spauIdlng story because they could
not account for the origin OF the Book
of Mormon upon any other hypothesis

RIDrCULE FATAL,
Boston Herald.


Prof. Alexander Graham Bells state
ment In his eulogy of the late Prof
Langley that the ridlcule that the la
mented scientists airship met with has
tened his death Is something pathetic.
Coming from Prof Bell who IL him-
self Interested In the same subject, II
~ no doubt correct. The science of
acrostatics has not yet reached the
exactltude that takes It out Of the range
Of mere experimentation, and the great
majority OF the people are stlll In
clined to associate dying machines with
enthusiastic but ignorant individuals
who know little Of mechanics and less
of general science For this reason 1t
was almost inevitable that the unique
position which Prof. Langley occupied
should be popularity misunderstood. 1t
Is none the less sad that 1t was so.

BETTER 90 SLOW.
San Francisco Call.


Confession follows confession In the
Steunenberg murder case In Idaho. The
charge that Molly Mcguire methods
were transferred from Pennsylvania Ia
the Western mines is said to be estab-
lished by overwhelming evidence. The
confessions of orchard and Adams and
others are established as true by strong
collateral evidence. BY Identified tiou
of picture It seems to be true that
the Bradley explosion In this city last
year was caused by a bomb and not by
gas, as was supposed. The bomb was
used to avenge the Colorado branch OF
the Molly Mcguire miners upon Brad
ley, who had become obnoxious to them
Under these circumstances it 10 the part
of wisdom to go slow, and let the off,
cials OF Idaho develop the testimony
they have secured by the confessions
and other means.
