manifestly calculated to make enlight-

of thousands in this State that its pc
rusal is recommended to Gentiles and
Mormons alike.
How can any one sense the signifi-
canoe OF IL, c. DIS great propositions
without feeling that piety and loyalty
alike demand an instant recession from
the cruelties and bigoUies which are
enchanting the people of Utah and
holding them back from the successful

THIS MEMORABLE DAY.

Among al the great Americans who
have done their part toward the up
building and the moulding OF the great
est Republic the world ever saw, two
stand forth prominent as the most Illus
trious Americans Of their time
The first of these was Washington,
the second was Lincoln,
In neither case was the prime great
ness Of the man recognized by the men
OF his time
In the case OF Washington. many
were held I'm his day TO be as deserving; ;
and the voice of envy and calumny was
open and blatant
In the case OF Lincoln, the voice of
detraction was so prevalent that even
those of his own supporters, East and
West. almost carried the weight of
statesmanlilIe judgment so far against
him as to relegate him far down in the
scale.
But the great heart of the people re-
sponded. throb for throb. with the
heartbeats OF the broad-minded, great
souled President of the Civil War
time. The masses OF the people trusted
him implicitly, though the politicians
even Greeley-found him wanting.
But in his case. as In the case Of
Washington, the verdict Of postcrity
has set all things right.
Who knows much about the men who
in the times of the Revolution held
81, Ill hot
friends. as the rivals of Washington,
and deserving equal honors with him,
OF in some cases claiming priority?
But who docs not amply know about
Washington?
So in the case Of Lincoln. Who re-
members much those who competed
with him for the highest place In the
affections and confidence OF the Ameri-
can public? Which OF them ali is not
dwarfed by comparison with him? At
the Gettysburg celebration of 1864,
Everett was the official orator of the
day; yet how many people remember
Everetts grafton. compared with the
mass who remember Lincoln's simple
but magnificent address? Indeed, It
would not be too much to say that most
people think only Of Lincoln's memoir

ENDOWMENT CEREMONIES.

in the Smoot case. Also, the disclo-
sures made many years ago by lady
here, OF the same, with illustrative
plans OF the old endowment house,
which formerly stood In the northwest
corner of the Temple block and in
which these ceremonies were then held.
These accounts so fairly corroborate
each other as to verify President
Smiths sworn statement in the same
investigation. that there has been no
change I'm these matters from tine first.
OF course there has been n very great
and material change, but not within
the period OF these disclosures The
people would not stand for the first
ritual and the things done under it.
This publication will be OF perma-
nent value: it Will be in constant de-

States, II explains how natural II is
for the Mormon speakers TO refer TO
the people OF this country as their en-
emies. This follows from the fact that
the Mormon speakers. by reason of
these obligations. have bound them
selves 10 be the enemies OF the people
of the United States When one man
feels a consuming enmity against an
other. 1t is inevitable that he should
consider that other his enemy, whether
that so-caIled enemy feels any enmity
against him or not; nay. be may not
have the remotest idea that there Is
any enmity between him and the other.
and may In fact feel friendly and be
disposed to encourage and help. Stiu.
by reason of that one-sided enmlty.
there is always that one-sided an
tagonism.
1t is precisely SO with the Mormon
rulers in this case. They know their
own hatred they know their bitter
ness, their savage, oath bound resolu-
tions Of vengeance. Therefore, 10 them
there is enmity. and their lips frame
the word enemies" whenever they re-
fer to the people upon whom they have
sworn vengeance. And for fresh anita
gonism they cite the efforts Of the law
abiding people of the country TO have
the hierarchy submit to and not defy
the laws: to have them keep out Of
politics. and refrain from lntrudng
their authority into civil affairs
The disclosures of these ceremonies
bring out with the clcarness Of sun

rarchIc mind toward the people OF the
United States. They prove absolutely
that the priesthood is alien and hostile !
to the people OF the country and
to American institutions, and that all

oaths Of vengeance. prove the treason
OF the governing class, and exemplify
anew that when the leaders speak OF

enemies, they but eXemplify again

AMI Make Themselves Scarce.

About l O'Clock last night Officers
Brown and Meeker raided the dwell
ling house at SIT College street and
placed two transient theatrical men
found there under arrest on a charge
of disorderly conduct. 't
Complaint had been made to the
police by parties living in the vicinity
who declared they were disturbed by
the noise of carousals that have been
held for several nights past in the
house that was raided. Last night
when the officers entered the place
the two men were found occupying
rooms with a woman and her daugh-
ter who live there. The masculine
members of the party were required to
dress and accompany Messrs. Brown
and Meeker to the city jail
This morning the two men were re-
leased on deposit of $40 each as bail,
as it was represented they were to go
to Athena this morning with their
theatrical troupe, their cases were set
for trial tomorrow afternoon. How
ever, it is considered doubtful il they
will return for that occasion.
