PROLIFIC OPPORTUNITY.

One of the minor Mormon prints
echoes the belated exutatiou of the
Descret News and declares that the
Smoot case "has been the most pro-
life opportunity ever given to Nor
mons to place before the world the
Gospel as taught by Joseph Smith and
his SUCCESSORS.
1t may interest Senators Of the Knox
and Hopkins type to know that
throughout Utah they arc regarded as
proponents Of the cult which teaches
that God practices polygamy, that Jesus
Christ was polygamist while on earth,
and that only through polygamy can
any man or woman receive this celestial
exultation, They would be shocked at
home to be charged with friendly sup
port given to such teaching: but in
Utah the PRONUNCIATION of the Mormon
print shows that the highest tribute
which the polygamous cult can pay,
from their viewpoint, is being paid to
Knox, Hopkins, Beveridge. ct al. by
publishing that they are supporters of
.the Gospel as taught by Joseph
Smith and his SUCCESSORS. ~
There is a double proposition in
volved in this output through the col
umns of the Mormon journals, The in.
tention is 10 fatter the leading men of
the Nation by showing that they are
in partnership with this Gospel and its
practices: and the further intention
is to inculcate i'll the mind of the Nor
mon followers that IN some fashion.
1.-The mighty testimony of the truth"
has been delivered at Washington by
the prophets, seers and revelators, and
that under its sublime ma jesty the op~
position TO the Mormon poIygamous
propaganda has covered and withered
into nothingness
OF course, the whole case as thus
presented, is Il falschood. The testi.
mony afforded by the leaders Of the
church was n denial of their prophetic
right. 1t was confession of their
continuous crime. So ignoble, so cow
ardly, so Ignorant was it, that the Sen
ators whom they were not Mortified,
were amused, and the Mormons who

sor TO Snow and his son Hyrum as n
member of the apostolic quorum, Joseph
f, Smith laid the groundwork for the
establishment of the Smith dynasty,
whose succession to the presidency of
the church should never be broken. To
reach this end. Joseph +. Smith WAS
compelled to revert TO an old revelation,
or pretended revelation, which had fal.
len from the remembrance Of the Nor
mon people. He quoted the pretended
word Of God to show that the patriarch
Hyrum Smith stood at the head Of the
system and that he, as Il descendant
of Hyrum, was tho legitimate successor
to the presidency. If this argument was
correct, then Brigham Young and all
of Brigham s successors up to Joseph
T, Smith, were usurpers. Also, If Smith
was correct in his intimated interpreta-
ton, he himself is a usurper for another
reason: that reason being that his broth
er John is older than he and has
right which takes precedence over his
own.
Elder Abcls disposes of the whole
matter by declaring that the succession
has never been with the Utah or Brig.
bamite branch of the church; but is
and has been, under the so.called revela-
tions from God, with the Reorganized
church of which Young Joseph, As he
is called the son of the original founder
of the church, is at present the head
as the prophet, seer and revelator, This
is n question of which Joseph f, has
always fought shy. 1t has been his
one fear all through his mature life;
that the seed of his Uncle Joseph, the
prophet, would rise up and demand their
rights of inheritance in this commercial
affair known as the Mormon church

ever constructed by man, which pays
net dividend of S2,0oO,000 per annum.

the confessions of the authorities and
