Show JIOKKOFIT. The Chicago Tribuue has this to bay and the last thtee lines of it will bo found to contain a sermon in a sentence: sen-tence: Thero is another break-out of mora frolint! at Washington concerning the Moiiuimri mid even those who have had dealings w;th Oakoa Ames aro keenly alivu to tho necessity of purifying puri-fying Brigham Young. Accompanied by chaplain Newman, a oommittco visited vis-ited President Grant and laid before him a full statement of tho immoralities immoral-ities of tho Mormons. It seems that those Mormons living in Montana did not voto for Mr. Claggott, the present delegate from that Territory, and he was defeated; so Mr. Claggctt has resolved re-solved himself into a missionary to exterminate ex-terminate tho Mormons by fire, sword, and aot of congress. A bill has been prepared which surpasses tho Ku-Klux : legislation, and it is proposed to mako Lho end justify tho means, and to deal out to tuo Mormons a law dittcring from tho law ruadc for- other people. This kind of businoss was tried two years ago, and Brigham Young and sovoral others were convicted ana put in prison under judioial decision?, which were overturned and set aside by the unanimous judgment of the supreme su-preme court. Some people seem to bo unable to understand that there are things, evils ever, which an aot of oon-gress oon-gress cannot remedy. |
