HELPING THE AMERICANS.

The church organ last night came
controlled vote in opposition to the
American party at next fall s election
In doing so, 1t rehashed its old per
version that the American party was
organized by disgruntled and disap-
pointed politicians. This, OF course, as
we have frequently pointed out. is ab-
solutely false; for when the movement
began which resulted in the organiza-
tion of the American party, there were
no disgruutled or disappointed politi.
clans. This movement began IN series
of meetings in Bamberger Hall, assem-
bled to protest against the scandalous
testimony delivered by Joseph F,
Smith in the Smoot case: which voted
for a permanent political organization,
and appointed large committee to
carry it out, which was done in due
time.
Another falsehood of the News is
where it asserts, knowing the contrary
to be true, that we "fear' such union
of the church forces in the oncoming
municipal campaign. On the contrary,
as we have repeatedly stated, we well
come such a union. Nothing could be
more in confederation Of American
policies and declarations than the dis
integration of the old political parties
in Utah, and the combination Of the
church vote as O clear and avowed
church party. The old parties have
been used and betrayed, each alternate
ly, by the church, year after year, till
there is no Republican party, and no
Democratic party left in Utah. The
fakes sailing under these names are
mere church political agencies or
activities, having no real relation to
genuine political party at all.
To say that the American party
Clears that these fakes will unite
into one geunine church political party,
is TO say that the American party
fears to see an absolute demonstra"
tion of the facts it has so constantly
asserted and abundantly proved, But
then, the News couldn Il be happy, or
even feel natural, if it did not indulge
IN deceit, falsehood, evasion, and trick
erv. 1t has played into the hands of
the Americans before by misleading its
people, and it is likely to do so again
if it fires them TO zeal on the fusion
question under the erroneous impress
ion that the Americans fear their
fusion, when in fact that is precisely
what the Americans want, for ii would
completely demonstrate their case.

/ why he permitted the doctrine TO he
so promulgated, and why the manifesto
was pcrs,stently omit ted from the book,
and he confessed the wrongfulness of
the church, and Of himself as chief
authority therein, for so perpeuating
the teaching, in the following reply:
SO far as know. II is entirely an
oversight, For myself; l never thought
! of II. II never occurred TO me, hut, from
the circumstance existing ut this time
and what have heard In relation TO the
ma,tsr u app9,ers to o. me ne thas attr IT. tsns ahd
Covenants. and I shall certainly use my
influence to have 1t put in the next edi-
ton that Is published.
That promise was kept as were all
the others made by the hierarchs-
merely in the prophetic memory. The
manner in which the chief official In
the Mormon church used his influence
TO have the manifesto. which inhibits
polygamy, printed in the book was by
ordering the printer to take chisel
and knock the date of the electro
plate Of the title page.
That is the sort OF cheap deception
for which the Mouth stands sponsor.
and in which it attempts to persuade
people there is DO peril TO the commu-
new polygamy, which is presented in
the signed confession of the first pres
idency of the Mormon church that it
does exist. 1t ignores the fact that
the doctrine itself is as widely taught
as it ever was in the Mormon church.
II will not recognize the fact that the
revelation which forbids the practice
is viciously omitted from the official
law book. for the sole purpose OF
giving cover Jealous individuals an
excuse for entering the polygamous re"
lation-with the knowledge that if
they do so they will receive the bcne-
diction and the protection of the
church to the utmost. IT knows that
since the manifesto there have been
hundreds of cases of new polygamY
within the Mormon church, aud earns
its hierarchcal stipend by denying its
own knowledge.
IF there is any difference at all be-
tween new polygamists and the Mouth,
it is overwhelmingly in favor OF the
law breakers themselves; for they evl'
dently believe what they practice. But,
earnest as these may be, they will proba-
bly, be delighted to read the following
from the Mouth as direcly attacking the
very foundation of their religion and
the practice of plural conlugahties TO
which they are devoted:
We do not understand that citizens OF
the United States care a great deal Tor
the claim that Joseph Smith was a
prophet. an inspired man; that he Iound
certain gold plates In a certain hill or
that the people who belong 10 the church
he founded believe they Will continue
their conscious. individual existence after
death.
So that it appears, out of the mouth
of the Mouth, that it is solely and
merely engaged as a special advocate
and pleadcr in behalf of the polygamy
and that it does not care rap for
the rest of it.
