Show COOLXES S T E3IPKRAICE AJIOSG THE MORMONS. Gould is very cool when he makes the Salt Lake telegrams say that "the Herald (a Mormon paper) j unexpectedly unex-pectedly temperate" over the decisions of the supreme court, and also when he says that "the anti-Mormons, though much depressed, anticipate no trouble."

We also meekly remark that we are as faiuiiiar with Utah affairs and agitations agi-tations as anybody can be who is not constantly io the midst of them, and we do not hesitate to declare that there was never any danger of trouble in Utah except when it was deliberately attempted, through sub-borned sub-borned and self-confessed murderers and outlaws for witnesses, and courts and juries organized to prostrate law and to convict and hang the foremost men of Utah for capital crimes which they never committed. Then there was "trouble," real "trouble," imminent immi-nent danger of a bloody issue. Oliver P. Morton and other careful observers saw and knew it It was then, not now, that the Herald was "unexpectedly "unex-pectedly temperate," and so was the -Nacn.
