dents of the States in the Rocky
mountain and Pacific region are asked
TO pay,
Against Federal control of these re-
sources. and against further with
drawals, we shall forever protest. We
believe the people of thc States in
which these resources are should profit
by them; that they should not be drawn
away from us to fill the Golfers of the
Federal treasury. We shall encourage
state, and not national control of thcs>
resources and trust that we may count
upon general support to that end
All OF which is SO closely in line with
what The Tribune has urged hitherto
that we heartily approve it, and are
glad to give it all possible prominence.

THE SAME OLD DEFIANCE.

Tn their study Of conditions within

attention of members of the church is
frequently (but not fully called by
church publicists and speakers, we
commend the following, taken from the
first and only number of the Nauvoo
Expositor ever issued.
we are among the number who be-
lieve that there Is virtue and integrity
enough in the administrators of the law
to bring every offender TO justice, and to
TO make show OF force. TO execute legal
process, II Will create no sympathy in
that case TO cry out, we arc mObbeds
There iS tG such 2osa thing as persons being
tho second time, Will scrutinize very
closely TO know who. or which party
are the prosecutors.
The Expositor was printed by mem
bers of the Mormon church, but who
had become so indignant in their de-
nunciations of the injustices and the
iniquities perpetrated upon all that
they were summarily excommunicated
from the church without hearing
They knew the men with whom they
were dealing, as well as the conditions
by which the entire community was
confronted, They saw that the
Smiths, through their utterly reckless
and totally lawless course, were drag

down to destruction. They were thor
oughly acquainted with the old and
hypocritieal cry. eve are being
mobbedl' when the administrators of
the law sought to enforce the law. 1t

was continuously up in arms Of defiance
against the law. and that when he was
in danger Of being cornercd he cried
out, Persecution for religion IS sakeln
