that he is a totally changed man. Not

For years it mas ben proclaimed, from

that one class exists only for the oppres-

many laborers have unconsciously re-
received the impression that state
war exists between them and their en-
ployers. Harangues like those deliv-

A SOBER ARGUMENT.

The anti Mormon" organ in the
course OF an argument that in places
becomes almost sober and coherent, en-
deavors TO break the force OF some Of
our Fourth of July observations.
1t intimates. for example, that the
reason the 'Mormons" were sometimes
denied the right of trial by jury in
territorial days, that is, when they
were excluded from jury service, was
that "the Mormon leaders have always
opposed and avoided IT," and never IN
their lives have they been willing 10
submit TO trial by jury" SO they
were deprived OF that right by their
own opposition to H. were they? But
how could this be, when they did not
SELECT the juries, or control the courts,
or have "A single member OF their faith
in the employment thereof, or even
have influence enough with the courts
to induce them TO secure as jurymen
any except the outspoken enemies OF
the Church,.
The ancient axiom that IAN Eng
lishman's house Is his castle" and cam
not be entered without express war;
rant OF law, the sheet says could have
no rightful application to "Mormons,
It implies that the maxim should read
"home," not house. and argues that
since few Of the "Mormons' have
sometimes had homes" therefore no
Mormon has ever had house and
hence no Mormon should complain
II his house was broken into and
searched without warrant
A convincing argument surely!
The organ iustInes the third depriva-
ton Of constitutional right to which
The people OF Utah were sometimes
subjected Ia territorial days-the sub
version OF the civil by the military
authorty-by explaining that any re-
sort to the military on TIE part Of this
Government has been only In the event
of utter futility of attempting 10 deal
with ecclesiastically-br evils by
means Of the courts" But as the
federal courts we're then IN full
