Show AN HONEST JOURNAL. J Tho Omaha Herald ol Thursday morning, just come to baud a journal 1 that fearlessly speaks tho truth con- I corning Utah has the following para- ' graphs : The sudden movement ol' troops to 1 Salt Lake, in connection with the indictment and arrest of lirigham Young for high crimes, has a meaning which cannui bo misunderstood by those who appreciate the real situation 1 in Utah. That it is a precaution look- . iug to the (rial and conviction of that i eminent man for murder by juries com- i posed of his sworn enemies, and upon tho testimony of confessed outlaws, is as clear to our minds as tho noonday sun. George . Cannon, and other promi- i nent Mormons, were summoned on tho : lato grand jury in Salt Lake for the pur- pose of giving judge Melvean's court an opportunity tooxoludc them from juries ; because of their belief in the divine origin of tho institution of polygamy. This was a part of the play in the plot to indict and convict lirigham Young, and other prominent Mormons, of the eriuics of polygamy and murder. Pre-; ceding it we note the arrest of the red J handed Bill Hickman. This contcm-: plated arrest was known to Hickman ; and others, days and weeks beforo it , occurred. Why did not the self-con- i fesscd outlaw tiec from the reach of the ! authorities? Tho case is too plain lo deceive an j ordinary idiot. |
