tie Of Charlottesville, this vindication
of the right wing Of the army, and
especially of Schurz's 's division of the
Eleventh corps, which General Howard
appears to have joined Others in de-
nouncing az guilty of disgraceful mis-
conduct, will have to be entirely re-
cast, if Schurz is correct; the Judgment
of the former history as to that mat
ter will have TO be revised. 1t is
amazing that a general of Howard S
high ropute should have allowed this
misconception and misrepresentation of
his own troops to have been INDUCED
in in the first place, and yet more
amazing that he would allow the years
to go by without any correction or
revision of the first unfavorable re.
ports. SchurZ claims that he made
correct and true report of the oper-
ations at the time, bearing down as
lightly as possible upon Howard, but
giving the facts as they were. He
claims that this report was pigeon
holed and his further effort to obtain
court Of inquiry so that the troops
under his command might be officially
relieved of the stigma that official
dom had put upon them, was refused;
and it has remained until this late
day for true version of the conduct
of tho Eleventh corps at the battle of
Charlottesville to be put before the
public, 1t is even q greater delay
than Fitz,John Porter suffered by rea-
son Of the imputations cast upon him
by General Pope. But Porter was vim
dicated by no less authority than that
of General Grant himself, and all stigma
was officially removed from him. Some
thing like this, it seems, will be neces-
sary with respect to the disaster at the
battle of Charlottesville, and in the
meantime certainly General Howard
can no longer afford to remain silent
with regard TO that disaster. These

Joseph f. Smith holds polygamy to

he is following the old practice of the
church, of intoxicating in the minds of
Mormon children feeling of reverence
for plural marriage and of respect for
the men who embrace that most sacred
principle Of the Mormon belief
When President Woodruff issued the
anti-polygamy manifesto, there is no
question but he was in earnest. But
since Joseph +. Smith asccnded the
Mormon throne there has been the
most determined effort to bring about
a permanent recrudescencc of polygamy
in the Mormon church. Every promise
that he ever made he has ruthessly
trampled under foot. From the mo-
ment that his sordidly greedy soul ami,
mated tho movements of the Mormon
church, the trend of every effort of
that organization has been in the direc-
tion of reputation, public vandalism
and crime For no other reason on
earth did the prophetic fraud begin to

litical power while he inoculates inno-
cent youth with the polygamous venom

itv and insane mendacity unleashed, the

seems TO be satisfactory, the ecclesi-

thing will do, just so long as the

to It's end of deception and fraud

Mormon church is repudiated whenever

fraudulent iniquities. Likewise is his
word confrmed-if the effect shall be

effect concerning certain ecclesiastical
and perpetual law breakers.
ELDER RoBHRTs's REPLY.

The reply of Elder Roberts to the
Ministerial Association can hardly even
under the most favorable view of it be
called an answer, II is more In the ma
ture of what our friends, the attorneys,
call in their business confession and
avoidance. His chief concern, of
course, was TO keep from his Mormon
hearers the understanding of the full
force of the review made by the minis
ters of the April conference declaration.
So he had to beat about the bush
good deal, and ignore what was trouble
some, while in effect repudiating the
expressions of men who had been sus-
tanned as prophets, seers, and revelators
which at the time of their delivery
were held to be utterances inspired of
God, and fully binding on the Saints.
If this is not so, then there is no mean
substance to the claim of the Taber-
nacle speakers that God puts into their
mouths the words which they utter.
That is, even froG the Mormon point of
view there is no meaning or substance
in these things. For, If one who has
been sustained as prophet, seer, and
revelator, and who speaks under the
claim. acknowledged by the Saints in
audience that he is inspired of God to
utter the words that come from his
mouth. can presently be repudiated as
to his Office and his inspiration, then
the whole claim of present day inspir-
alton is merely fiction to deceive the
Innocent and trusting flock
The Christian ministers in their re-
view tried on this point to hold the
Mormon revelators to their own ground.
Their argument as to this was based
on the legitimate presumption that the
Mormon spokesmen would abide by
their own positions and acknowledge
their own propositions. This, 1t seems,
they are not willing to do. They claim
the right to repudiate their former
words of inspiration and to explain
away in false definitions and tricky ex
plantations the force of the language
used by the former revelators of the
church And so. while Elder Roberts
was a bad failure in his attempt TO
answer the ministers, he was a COM
pletc success in demonstrating that the
Mormon special pleaders are not will
ing to stand on the plain declarations
and principles laid down by the
prophets, seers and revelators who in
their time were sustained as the au
thoritative exponents of the church
claims and doctrines. But. after all,
what else was there for him to do? He
could not admit the old doctrines, and
to tell the truth about it all he was
ashamed.
But when be came 10 deal directly
with the ministers, Roberts was bit
terly abusive and indecent. His railing
showed how hard the ministers had
hurt in their review. 1t was coarse
and stale vituperation. that proved not
only the impossibility of Mr.. Roberts s
answering the points the ministers had
made, but that the writings of the
criminal he confessed himself to he are
an intolerable insult to common de-
cency and a revolt against civilization

The communication given above is
from one who is familiar with the sit

with the public attitude of the Nor
mon hierarcbs toward those who prac-
tice polygamy here. The writer of the
letter has struck the most vibrant chord
in the innermost ecclesiastical heart
when he touches upon the fact that
polygamists are honorcd with the high
est positions in the Mormon organiza-
tion. And the fact. which he calls to
mind, is that the more fragrant the Of

breaker in the State of Utah, but it
will take the liberty to answer in the
negative. Joseph F. Smith will not ex-
