The Plates-and Brigham

Editor Trlbune.--Anent an article
| occupying nearly four columns Of space
In the Deseret News the other day,
| About the Books OF Mormon Plates"
Verbosely talking about what was done
| with the gold plates from which Jo-
seph Smith is said to have translated
the book, I recently read an article
signed by George Rcynolds-now one
| Of the first seven presidents OF the
seventy-in the Millennial Star, volume
| Xiv, page 247. which concludes with
an extract from a sermon delivered
by President Brigham Young, June H.
| 1877. showing where the plates were de-
posted, Is follows
"OliNcr Cowdery went with the
Prophet Joseph when he deposited
these plates. Joseph did not translate
| oil the plates. The angel In
structed him to carry them back to
| the Hill Cumorah, which he did oliver
| says that when Joseph and oliver went
| there the hill opened and they walked
| into O cave in which was a large and
| spacious room, They laid
the plates OH table; 1t was a large
| table that stood in the room. Under
| this table there was pile of plates as
much as two feet high. and there were
| altogether In this room more plates
| than, probably. many wagon-loads,
they were piled up In the corners and
along the Wallis. Inc UgSl IlIfle lley
went there the sword Of Laban hung
| upon the wall, but when they went
| again IT had been taken down and laid
| upon the table across the gold plates;
II was unsheathed and on 1t WAS writ
! ten these words. This sword VIII never
| be sheathed again until the kingdoms
of this world become the kingdom of
our God and his Christ ! tell you
this as coming not only from oliver
! Cowdery, but others who were familiar
| with 1t and who understood 1t just as
we'll as we understand coming TO this
meeting
| Now, Mr. Editor. l contend that there
| need be no argument as to the dispo-
sition of the plates, if Brigham Young
| was n purveyor of truth; and If he was
| his statement can be verified. as the
| hill Cumorah Is still In existence and
can be excavated, The expense Of ex-
| cavation would be nothing as compared
| TO the unreliable value OF all this pile

most valuable collection of evidence ex.

ANARCHY AGAINST ANARCHY

Anarchy fights anarchy when the
Deseret News attacks the incendiary
utterances of any man whom the News
may brand as an inciter to crime
What business has the News to criti-
ciee anyone else for counseling assas-
sination or protecting assassins? What
business has the News TO reprehend
lawhreakine In any form? II has been
for some years the chief apologist for
and protector of the offenders against
the law, its apostolic editor confessed
in Washington on oath that he was liy-
ing with two women neither one OF
whom was his legal wife; the president
of the church which the News repre-
sents boasted of his polygamous rela-
tions and OF his intention to continue
them And In view of these facts how
dare the News direct at labor leaders
this astonishing comment: The crisis
is approaching. and which will test the
question whether unlawful combina-
tions will override law and order
forms subject Of vital concern
to this Nation?
That Is what the self respecting clti-
zenship OF Utah and the country has
been saying concerning the system of
polygamous commercial and political
tyranny Of the Mormon hierarchy for
more than two years and the News has
answered that the anxiety of the people
of the United States Is merely the eX-
preston OF falsehood and persecution.
The spectacle of this perverted organ
of pretended religious cult crying out
that law and the institutions of the
country are endangered by inhamma-
tory utterance and anarchistc action
on the part of the representatives Of
working men, is so grotesque that II
occasions ridicule everywhere except in
the News Office and among the credu-
lous devotees of that church organs
criminal teaching The News wants all
crime to be let alone In Utah lest the
machinery of justice, once set In opera
tion, shall catch some of Its own pet Of
tenders But everywhere else in the
United States It wants the law strictly
enforced, and 1t Is particularly Mortified
IL Christian minister does not live up
to his professions, or IL some voice of
the proletariat shall be raised against
officers or forms OF law.

HIGH PRICE OF LEATHER

Plttsburg Dispatch.
Science of a somewhat putatlve char
acter is concerning itself with the high
price or leather. the consequent In
creased cost Of shoes and an alleged in
teresting relation between these COM
mercial charges and the spread of
vegetarianism. The logic is clear. as
follows: People are eating less meat
but keep on wearing out their shoes
Because they eat less meat fewer cattle
are killed and fewer hides supplied to
the tanners. Consequently a smaller
output OF leather is furnished to meet
the undated demand for shoes This is
very good logic, although II IS no clearer
and a good deal less optimistic than to
put IL this way, Because people are eat
Ing less meat they save so much money
that they can buy shoes more freely
than heretofore.

CAN HE PROVE IT2


Candidates for office are very seldom
inclined to overlook their own good
qualities. but the announcement of a
Garfield county tOlda) man, ending af-
ter this style, seems to be going 1t a
little stronger than usual
Who is 1t that has always shown.
In season and out OF season, his deep
and loyal interest In the welfare of the
poor OF this country? Who is 1t that
has never failed to respond to a cry OF
distress, no matter from what direction
1t came or how far away from his resi-
dence7 Who Is it that during the frost
and snow and hall and ice and rain of
last winter-a particularly trying sea-
son, as we all remember-~ho is II that
sent free gratis sides Of bacon and bags
of hominy and rice and cornmeal. and
In many instances hams and Irish po-

THE LADY BARBER.

Orville Wright, in the office of his
bicycle factory in Dayton, was being
congratulated on his aeronautlcal
achievements,
Well" he said modestly, Our sue
cess such as II has been. was due to
hard work We were not content TO let
we'll enough alone We tried for per-
fection In every detail. We did not rest
on our oars like the lady barber that
Dayton used TO have.
You remember the lady barber OF
Dayton? a machinlst of mine, out OF
curiosity, allowed her TO shave him
once He had a stiff beard The ordeal
must have been terrible.
''All through the operation tears flowed
from the machinlst's eyes, he squirmed
and twisted in his chair with pain, and
low groans escaped from him
"At the end, regarding in the mirror
the little pin-points OF blood that oozed
from nearly every pore. he said:
{" If this is skinning. miss. it's toler-
able but If It's shaving. It's awful, aw-
full "

SHARP RETORTS.

Archbishop Temple had a ready wit.
A fussy curate once asked him II an
accident which prevented the curates
aunt from taking a ship, which after
ward sank was an instance OF proVi-
Dental interference. Here the retort,
Cant tell didn't know your aunt is
crushing but not brutal. More unkind
Is the reply which Talleyrand is re-
ported to have made TO a friend who
was lying on sickbed. Il am suffering
the tortures Of the damned" said the
afflicted man. What. already" said
Talleyrand with polite incTedulity.

IN THE NIGHT.

aul I<estcF IN McClure's Magazine
When you shall awaken
In some far-or town
Distant alike by many miles
And many years
From home.
And all shall seem
Unchanged
The dim light falling
BY the window sill,
The maple leaves
Whispering beyond
The echo OF the neIghbor's steps
Coming belatcd by;
When 1t shall seem TO YOU
You need but raise your hand
To touch your mothers
Sleeping face.
That any whispered word
Shall wake her.
For Your comfort
I'm tho nwssome hour
When you shall know
That morning brings no dread
Beyond the fear
OF rainy days or school
Then when some sense
OF present time returns
And youth departs,
The heart grows old again
And feels with bitterness
The weight and pain
or all the intervening years,

WHAT THE JUDEG PROMISED
Eopana Clty JnurDoI


A good story Is told on John r.
Thomas of Muskogee, a we'll known
lawyer of that city, who was formerly
Judge of the western district. One
night Thomas found himself in a
shabby little town which had no hotel.
Desiring TO stay all night. he asked d
lounger In front of grocery store
where he might find accommodations.
The lounger went inside of the store,
which was run by an Indian. When IN
formed that there was a man outside
who wanted a place to spend the night
the Indian asked.
Who Is the fellow
Judge Thomas" was the reply,
We'll, II that's the fellow he had bet
ter pay Inc what he owes ME before
asking me for any favors,"
How is that" queried the lounger
rs he in debt to you?"
Yes" replied the Indian. When he
was Judge in Muskogee I was brought
before him for selling liquor I was
convicted. and In sentencing me he
said, L will give you sixty days In jail
and 800 I got the sixty days, all
right, but he never came across with
the 500"

Mr.. Fernstrom was guilty OF like
imposture upon the public when. In
stupid attempt to show the sound dis
cretion and good judgment of the old
Council, he urged caution In expendi-
lures, and added that the old Council
had taken into consideration the fact
that the west side was demanding a
sewer, and that other public improve
mcnts were necessary. and cut the gar
ment according to the cloth" A very
natural simile for him to bring forward; !;
but that is precisely what the old Coun-
ell did not do. 1t had no discretion as
TO the sewer, for the building of that
was a specific purpose In the vote of the
bonds. without its inclusion, the propo-
feated But the Councils part in 1t was
to add more than fifty thousand dollars

from the s150.000 voted by the taxpay-
ers TO over s200,00 And the old Coun-
ellis squandering Of forty thousand dol
lars in the purchase OF utterly useless

stance OF how that old Council enl-
phatically did not "cut the garment ac-
