There are Just lots of people that ar.
honest in all their dealings that act.
ually believe there is nothing wrong
in the habitual use of intoxicating
liquors. With the evil it has caused
before their eyes, they advocate its
use, and some of them are church
members. Well, such church members
are about as much a christian as !
was when came home from the army.
Everybody was really glad the war
was over and we Confederate bows
were tolerably popular with the girls.
and you know if there is anything on
earth a woman likes it is a hero or a
soldier, but some of the girls were
members of the church and didn't
want to dance, so we told them 1t was
no harm, and was just good exercise,
and we got them to dance, but you
know we bows had no confidence in
them as christians after that SO
think christian that wants a rum
shop in his city, town or community
had better get out of the church and
herd with the gang he belongs to.
Some folks belong to the church as a
kind of a recommendation or film
concern Haven't you noticed when
big revivals break out and religion
has on her silver slippers how religious
some people are and how they are 60
ing to lay aside everything and go in
to the work of the Lord3 l have.
Well, if an election was to come off
then they would vote statewide tick
OF. If the saloon element wants to
defeat prohibition they will have to
keep the church from holding a reviv-
al about election time, and if the
church wants to lick the saloon ele-
ment all she has to do is to get
tremendous stir up of religion all over
Tennessee and the anti rohibitionists
won't black the board. When men get
to believe they are christians they'll
vote right and do the right thing.
Most men want to do the right thing
and act for the best, but unfortunate
ly they suffer themselves to be led and
influenced by cunning and designing
men, generally we'll educated and up
to date
As general rule, our truest and |

neither do they act from the heart. |

Than good or darkness rather than

We need not wonder at the lax en-
forcement of the law against the liq-
lor element. The ones who have the

are evil men and oppose the good.
Such men can only have an influence

THE EXPosIToR MoBBING.

The Tribune has just now come into
possession of an item of information in
connection with the destruction Of the
Nauvoo Expositor that has not yet
been made public, so far as we know
1t is generally understood that but
ore issue of the Expositor was the
limit of the work done on the plant
that was so quickly destroyed by
order of Joseph Smith. 1t develops,
though that at the time the Mormon
mob raided the Office and demolished
the plant, one side of the second num-
ber of the paper had been printed on
the hand press. These sheets were
piled in the Office ready for the print.
ing of the second side, and were part
of the property destroyed.
Elder Stephen Markham was the
leader of the destroyers, carrying a
sledge hammer along for the purpose of
gaining entrance to the Office if ad-
mittance could be obtained in no other
way. There were three of them
who climbed the outside stairway to
the second story of the building, where
the Expositor Office was located. They
were Elders Markham, Hodge and Go

HIS FATUOUS BLINDNESS.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Trib
une will be found a communication
from j. R. Richardson under the cap
ton, "Pretends to Champion Nor
monism'' -
We gather from his letter that Mr.
Richardson has taken great personal
umbrage on account of certain articles
which have appeared in these columns
upon the historical facts relating to the
Mormon church and its leaders. The
writer of the letter undertakes to con-
stitute himself the champion of Nor.
monism and to mako defense in its
behalf, The Tribune prints his com
munication out of spirit of fairness /;
and if the reader shall be able to dis
cover in 1t a defense Of Mormonism.
no one will contest his claim of having
made the discovery. So far as we are
able to see, Mr.. Richardson simply
poses as the Sir Oracle of debate an
nouncing with considerable bounce
and flourish that all the litera.
ture of the world is as an omen
book to him. With the bodybuilding
strut characteristic of confirmed
bigot, he impertinently assumes that
he is right, and that no amount of dis
cussion could possibly reveal one iota
of merit in the opinions of those who
may differ from him in views. And
he rests the case Of Mormonism on the
point that he sees in it. justification
of God-as If God needed Justification
of human inhrmity! AS an illus.
tration of his unreason, he practically
repudiates the church leaders, from
Joseph Smith down 10 Joseph +. Smith,
because he declares that the personal
conduct and daily lives of these men
have nothing whatever to do with the
case Then he proceeds in a buster
ingly fatuous style to bring in the say
ings and doings of Joseph Smith as
evidence in behalf of a contention that
is so obscure that we confess inability
to define it, The one thing that IS
plain is that he appears to count the
church leaders out in order not to be
compelled to face opposing and damag-
ing evidence as presented in their per-
sonal lives and utterances; and then
brings In the very men whom he has
counted out In an attempt TO establish
a case against this paper. But in re-
pudiating ''the prophet" he necessar-
lily repudiates his mission and all pleas

Christ. But he refuses TO admit that
he is Mormon because he believes IN
Joseph Smith, declaring that he will
not accept the testimony Of men con.
temporary with Joseph as TO his char
acter. In fact. he says that what
Joseph Smith was does not matter, and
at the same time declares that Joseph
Smith was prophet, and so on. in be
half OF his own contention He deals

of Mormonism was ga liar and profit

ever lived were of the same stripe. Yet
he doubtless will assert that his belief
IN the Savior was born Of belief in the
story of His spotlcss life.

call attention to it that the reader may

manding the practice of polygamy. The
first has been omitted and the latter
added since 1875; but we have so far
seen nothing in the records of the gen
eral conferences TO show that the body
of the church has adopted or accepted
the book as so changed. Under the rule
of the church, If no such general ap-
proval by the organization in confer
encc has been had, then there never
was justification for polygamy, even
under the law of the church.

CURRENCY FOR STATE BANKS.

We note that Col. Willis S. Paine in
the sixth edition of his "Bank
ing Laws comes out in favor
of the issue Of currency by State banks
1t may be that this suggestion will
prove remedial in large degree for the
currency situation, and as he is bank
| ing expert, his opinion is entitled to
weight. 1t might in fact, be Il far bet
ter proposition than anything that Al
drich is likely to bring forth.
Under the national banking law,
State banks, as such, are forbidden TO
issue currency under the penalty of a
tax Of ten per cent year if they do
SO, which is prohibitive. Col. Paine IS
idea is that the State banks might be
authorized to issue currency under
banking laws that could be approved by
the National Comptroller of the Cur.
rency. He calls attention to the fact
that New York and other States have
kept up their banking legislation; that
the national bank law is in fact as near
as the case would fit, copy of the
New York State banking laws. These
laws have been kept up to date, have
been renewed from time to time, so
that New York and other States that
have also kept up in their banking leg
lslatlon, would be III fit condition for
their State banks to issue we'll protect
ed currency, with little delay
1t is objected in some of the financial
that We already have too much
currency, and that to allow State banks
to issue moro would make glut in the
money market. But the trouble is that
under our present banking system,
whenever there is Il currency panic the
money is all hid away; none of it
comes out Just when it is needed. it
be had. 1t would be different
with State currency. Well-protected
issues of State currency under the ex-
perience that the country has had,
ought to be as good as any currency
we could have; and we confess that so
far as the banking proposition is CON
,erned, we should be glad to see trial

were working for the establishment OF
such an institution, y charter was grant

trustees elected the July following.
The day of the opening a number OF
patients were admitted who were regu-
larly attended and given their medicine

clerk
The second hospital established was In

beginnings there has now grown UP In

hospitals. Every city. town and village

Hospitals were founded In very carly

New Testament.
Military hospitals are of comparative
ly recent origin. born of the needs OF
warfare and the advance of medical SCI

powers possessed anything approaching
the equipment now common to all armies.
The English wounded were carried off

government appointed Lord Merberts
