A MoURNFUL MONDAY.

Yesterday morning S Tribune carried
an unusual number of mournful mes
sages to the public of this city.
First, we note the death OF the ven
crable John r. Winder, first counselor
TO the president OF the Mormon church,
Mr.. Windcr. by reason Of his great age
and amiahlc personality. was the most
popular high church official in the sect.
He was I'M his eighty ninth year, and
lifty-slx OF those years he WIS n resi-
dent of Utah He may be said to have
been better known than any other OF
the leaders of the sect, and was the
least dictatorial Of any of them. He
leaves most kindly memory in the
minds Of the public. and especially OF
the older residents who knew him
best.
Then. there was the death of Mr.,
". T. Cooper, so long in charge of the
Polk Directory work in this city, ca
pable man, respected as such, and ad'
mlred fer his many excellent quahnes-
His death is q severe loss 10 the city,
whose welfare and growth were always
close 10 his heart. His friends were
all who knew him. and their grief at
mis- loss will he keen.
Then. there was the suicide at Farm
ingtou of Eugene Day, an old newspa-
per man; grievous to his friends,
Mr.. G.. n. Williams met A shocking
death in Toocle, falling from the rail
road trestle.
1t was a sorrowful awakening from
the jov of Easter and the mind is
shocked al such contrasts. May we
have them as seldom as possible For
the human mind is not able TO stand
many such startling successions from
Joy TO grief.

WHY PoLYGAMY REVEALED.

In thc year 1854, Harper and Broth
ers published work upon the Mormon
question that was written BY Hon. B.
G. Ferris. On page 80 Of that book
Mr.. Ferris says:
The introduction Of poygamy or con-
cubnace into the Mormon church was
az certain as any other effect from an
obvious cause. II belonged 10 II as le-

FALSE BRETHREN" DID IT.

We have another bit OF interesting
testimony to present in certain mat
ter Of history that is frequently re-
ferrcd to by speakers and publicists
Of the Mormon church for the purpose
Of creating sympathy in favor Of the
cult whose highest object is TO defy
the law and blaspheme God. 1t is
with respect to the murder Of Joseph
and Hyrum Smith, at Carthage, Hi
nois, in 1874.
Heretofore the church organ has en-
dcavored to maintain a controversy
with The Tribune as against the record,
which proves that Mormons were re-
sponsibe for the death Of Joseph Smith
and Of his brother Hyrum the first
prophet aud patriarch, respectively. of
the organization. Herewith is an extract
from an editorial printed in the Nauvoo
Times and Seasons Official church pa
per at that time), volume 5, number
l3, under date Of July Is, 1874. that
being less than three weeks subsequent

right name "apostates,' have retarded

than all Chrfstendom, for they. having
mingled in his greatness. knew where and
when to take advantage Of his weak
ness
That is from one within the conf
dence of the inner hicrarchical circle
at Nauvoo. and il directly confirms later
statements made in Utah by Presidents
Brigham Young, Jcdediah NJ. Grant,
George A. Smith and others, to the
same effect 1T also supports the re-
cital of facts concerning this matter
made in the Contributor by Bishop
Denison h. Harris. of Monroe, San
pete county. in 1882. in which he de-
scribed the proceedings OF three secret
meetings of dlscontented saints. Mr.
| Harris was present at these meetings
by the advice Of Joseph Smith, for the
purpose of reporting to him all that
went on At the last OF them, held
lust prior TO the Carthage tragedy, there
were upward of three hundred malcon
tents of the church in attendance. They
each subscribed to solemn oath. bind
ing them together for the purpose of dc
voting their means and their energies
to the removal of Joseph Smith and
the destruction of his policies.
But the News has contended thai
Gentics were the murderers of tho
"prophets. al first lntimatng that
no Mormon had anything to do with
it whatever After the showing made
bv The Tribune, however. the cburcf
organ reccded TO the point where n
admitted that discontinued members
of the church and apostatcs had hanr
in the affair. The Tribune asserts. anc

fercd up in what they deemed to be
the behalf of the church itself. and 10
save that body from destruction.
1t is significant to note that even
the church pulpitccrs and writer's IN
Utah declare without hesitation or
qualification that the church grew faster
and prospercd more after the ''martyr'
dom - than ever before; that in reality
the assassination was blessing in dis
guise to the organization. Which would
seem to imply that had Joseph Smith
lived. he would. as many in Nauvoo
declared, have led ''the church down
to destruction and hell. -

CRIME AND THE LAW.

The Shaving OF Mr.. George w Fas'
sell while in the rightful pursuit of hs
business, and on his premises, was so
hcartlcss a brutality, that one finds 1t
impossible TO realize how set Of dcs'
peradocs can be SO depravcd as 10 com
mil go foul a CRIME. The prompt arrest
of the assassins is the one helpful thing
IN the dark transaction; and for this
the police department and especially
Mr. Sheets deserve every word of the
high praise that is bestowed upon them
Mr. Sheets did as good a piece of work
in catching those outlaws as any on
record
II remained for the bigoted church
organ to try 30 make political capital
out of the deplorabc occurrence, and to
assail the municipal government, which
has shown such splendid efficiency IN
this and IN other cases of note. The
truth is that if there is an unusual lot
of crime here, the blame certainly does
not rest upon the city's administration,
which has So amply demonstrated its
efficiency, and so fully proved its fine
service. 1t rests primarily on the lax
enforcement Of the law. State Prison
Warden Pratt takes the sane and right
view when he illustrates the danger
of lax and mercifulN verdicts as IN
the Driskell case This brutal Staying
of Mr.. Fassell follows so close upon that
scandalous verdict that it is not unfair
to say that il is an effect from that
cause AS long as iuries will refuse
to enforce the Just penalty provided by
law for gross and awful crimes, 1t is
reasonable to expect that such crimes
will continue.
Back of all this, however, is The feel
ing so prevalent throughout Utah and
sedulouSly inculcated by the polygamous
cult, that law, as such, is not TO be OBJ
served; but that it can and ought TO be
dcrided and spurned by those able do
it, That is the real basis for the con-
tempt of law so general here. And the
reason why this feeling is so general is
because it has been so long, so insist
emily, and so universally lnculcated in
the community.
We need a better idea of law, than
that one person or one class may defy
the law at will Law, simply because
it is law, must be observed. The citizens
must join in an earnest effort, unceasing,
to enforce it and establish its suprcm-
acy. When that right end is reached,
we shall have community where there
are no criminals in high places aud no
special class claiming the right to obey
or disobey the law at their own pleas
ure. And until that time comes, the
right sentiment will be lacking. But at
any and all times the miserable crawl
Of the organ of the habitua law defiers,
attempting 10 show that somebody else
than themselves is responsible for the
low tone Of considering the law, must be
held up to public exccration as a vicious
example Of utter and shameless hypoc.

ITS EVAsIVE CONFESSION,

Apparently with complete approval
the Deseret News on March 18th
edtorially mentioned the fact that
" Senator Sutherland, speaking of in
fractions OF the church rule said, &
think there are no words in the English
language that are sufficiently severe
with which to condemn their con-
duct -
If the church organ approves the con-
demnation of new polygamy voiced by
Senator Sutherland, why does it not
proceed along the line indicated by him
in dealing with that offense7 When
ever the News mentions it at all, it is
merely to say most mildly that new
polygamous marriages are against the
rule of tho church and are not counte-
nanced by the officials of that body.
On the other hand, when The Tribune
has pointed out these new cases Of law
breaking. and has proceeded to de
nounce the lawbreakers, the church or
gan has called our presentations in the
matter scandalous sories" that it
would not deign to repeat
The church paper also says that it
does not bring forward the proposition
that Apostle Reed Smoot IS retention In
the Senate was approval OF the poltg,
amous practice, "for the simple rea-
son that it would not be true And
vet, IN the same article, it proceeds TO
say that the fact that Brigham Young
was confirmed by the Senate as Cover
nor of Utah Territory, that act consti-
tuted "silent consent of the GovoFn-
ment' to polygamy,
"In the first place, there is no new
polysamous practice to countenance, -
continues the News. But isn't it true
that the church has officially confessed
to all the world that there is new polyg'
amy among it's members7 If there have
been new polygamous marriages, as the
first presidency announces has been the
case does the church organ mean that
they have occurred merely in theory,
and not in practice? What is the
suuirmer driving at, if not to deliber'
ateIy falsify the situations
