IN. Return Of n. Mormons.

burlington Saturday Evening Post:
The Mormons left Nauvoo about fifty
wears ago and settled in the valley OF
salt Lake IN Utah. The occupancy Of
Sauvoo by the Mormons in the early

Dante Band, OF the famous and fine
temple afterward torn down. Of the
killing OF the brothers Smith, and OF

which contained the story Of the ca

tried and executed in Burlington Out
at Salt Lake the sIormons have pros
pered until they rank as one OF the
weaIthiest sects in the world For
years they have looked longingly
toward Nauvoo. Now, when the great
Catholic schools at Nauvoo are threat

Courts and the seif-Mzde Martyr.

La Crosse Leader-Press Ii Mr.
Gompers persists in considering him I
self a martyr because he is not al /
lowed to violate the law with fngpunity,
he IS. OF course, privileged to do so.
And he will undoubtedly succeed N
arousing a considerable amount OF SYM
prLE1y But if those inclined to hold
with him viii look st the facts
frankly il viii be hard for any open
minded person to conclude how the
court could have avoided indicating
its authority. II the court had said
that the violation and even public
defiance of its order should go for
naught, It would have been notice to
the country that any man, when he
feels like it. is warranted in not
only holding a private opinion in OPP
position to that of the courts, but in
acting upon it.
It is quite unnecessary TO say that
this theory Of Mr. Gompers, carried
TO its logical conclusion, would mean
the dissolution Of organized society
Ii the courts are not TO be obeyed
except when Iitigants feel disposed to
do SO. they would become absolutely
useless. RI we are to have a gov

must. argument ceases aud there
must be concurrence Of conduct II
not OF private opinion.
More studied. persistent, deliberate
contempt of court than that exhibited
by Messrs Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison was probably never seen.
+ They set themselves above the courts
as an authority on the constitution,
but their pretext that the right TO g
free press and free speech insured
the right to DESTROY regulations and
property, as they were doing, is the
finasisst possible. Nj Gompers elect

him obey the law. His action and that

Resolutions.

Once more, my brothers, the
grim monster Death, has entered
our inner door, and we have been
called upon to consign a brother
to his last resting place in this
earth. Brother ]. H. Smith pass
ed to the great beyond on February
II at the ripe old age of 81 years,
5 months and II DAYS. Brother
Smith was a man of profound con
victions and unyielding courage
He had a strong heart in the face
of danger. He was ever quick to
respond to duty's call, and when
the war clouds enveloped our coun-
try our brother offered his sword in
his country's cause and served as
valient and patriotic soldier until
its close. Uncle Jonathan. as he
was usually called, was ever faith
full to his trends who were legion;
his enemies were few, he had no
use for them. His faults if any
were such as are common to those
of his generous nature, and they
were SO few that they were ecliosed
by his many virtues as the stars
are eclipsed by the MONDAY sun.
We have lost in his death one OF
the truest and best among us. A
brother has gone from us and left
place that cannot be filled in the
hearts of those who knew and
honored him.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be entered in the records of Butte
Lodge No. 81, A. F. and A. M.

mittee.
