Show o THE CRUSADE. Iron County Record. Thomas Kearns and his hired man Cannon keep up their "lick" against authorities of tho Mormon church with unabated fury. It Is Interesting to ncto tho various attitudes which tho disappointed Htttlo Cannon assumes in order to servo his master and gratify his splto, and to those people who aro 'amiliar with tho organization of the Mormon church and acquainted with he personnel and character of tho men who are assailed it is astonishing to note tho capacity that this man has for making something out of notl, ing. People have refused to believe that tho Creator made tho world out o nothing, but after witnessing the eii paclty that this pen pusher has developed devel-oped along that lino, they will l,0 com. polled to admit that either tho Father of Lio3 is smarter than tho Almighty or that tho making of something out 4 bill ties iS qUlt WlthlU hIs 03s1' Tho men whom tho sub-editor a.i constantly nnd viciously assails aro men whoso characters aro far above his own, both for morality, truthfulness truthful-ness and sincerity, and there is not a man nmong them whom people who aro acquainted with both parties would not rather trust with cither their monoy or their honor than tho man who makes such a parade of his reformatory measures and desires Just now this apostate Mormon has a soft snap; filled with hatred towards the Mormon people, and especially towards the prominent men in tho M church, of whoso position and promt-nenco promt-nenco he is so jealous; disappointed in '.lis political ambitions also, ho has found a man who will pay him big monoy to voice tho bitterness that is In his heart.

Who aro tho parties who are keeping up tho strife, and for what purpose? Is it not time that tho people of our stato rose in their might and ' sat down again, taking care to havo these disappointed politicians just under I them when they do so, and sitting so heavy that their racket will stop? 1 |
