Show GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN AGAIN. W must devote a little more space to Georpe Francis Train by noticing and clipping from the report of his farewell lecture previous to his starting for the "Flowery land" on his way around the world. Pass'ng over certain cer-tain views set forth concerning countries coun-tries where modern Christianity is the religion with countries where Bhudda, Zoroaster, Confucius, and other oriental orien-tal names claim reverence, and ecrUin other views with regard to Moses and tho Pentateuch, we come to the following fol-lowing in the San Francisco Chronicle Chroni-cle t report of the lecture : I saw what my religion was founded on. I see by figuring that only 3,0U0,-OUO 3,0U0,-OUO out of the l,3OO,00U 000 of people in the whole world can be saved. That leaves 1.297,000,000 to be eternally damned. 1 do j't want to be in heaven sitting on a wet cloud, with cherubimi and seraphims, singing "Shoo fly " Great laughter. 'Iheyareall right. I want to go where I can do some good, and savesoneof those 1,297,-000,000 1,297,-000,000 from eternal damnation, therefore there-fore when I die I propose to GO DOWN INTO IIELL ! and save some of my relations, for I am cotifi Jent that nearly all of my family fam-ily will be there. Great laughter. BRIO II AM YOUNG. I consider Brigham Young the Greatest statesman of this generation, lis people were driven out of iSauvoo after Joe Smith was murdered, and they went to that barren country of Salt Lake, and they have grown rich. Why? Because they u.anufactuie and raise their own apparel and raise their own eatables. Mr. Train here enlarged on tho suicidal policy of Americans in patronizing foreign made goods, and s'longly argued againt free trade. He considered that the statesmanship of Brigham Young lay in his appreciation of those principles, and his ability to keep his community moral. Salt Lake was the only plate he w;is ever in where he could not find gamblers, drinking saloons and prostitutes. prosti-tutes. A woman can walk the streets, day or night, without being insulted. A Voice How about the murders ? Mr. Train They have a murder there once in every ten yc:irs. Here we have one every few days. A Yok-e How about POLYGAMY ? Mr. Train Brighai.i Yours brieves the Bible. There's where he gets it. From Solomon's example and David's. The main d!!h.rence is, that there a man can have as many wives as he can support, and he is obliged to support them. In this christian lai d a . has one wife and as many wis'resser. as lie plea-os, and can kick tb.tu into the street Et his oud pleasure. THE JEWS Are the most di-gu-ted people in S-ilt Lake. They say a:e u-'-l to b.-inrr called hard names "Ch''st k' ;rs," "O.d Go'," and ihe l.kf 1 'i they never anywhere el-e are ni-i Ij being ca'led "D d Gentile.''

Laughter. 1 may never see you again. I like San Francisco. I have tread on some of your toes, but I did it in a spirit of kindne-s. I sincerely believe I have a mission to emancipate the world from the slavery of bigotry, therefore I will not trim to get the sup port of any class. I think the Iri.-h are my friends, and yet I go diieetly again-t them when I think they are nroi;g. I feel that there is soiu.- great power behind me. I do not know what it is, I cannot help it. Thanking the audience for their kind attention, Mr. Train bade them adieu. |
