Emtok The Times In your issue ot the loth inst., your reply to the VVwwl AVtea headed, The liiuud of the Church," ii just splendid, because every allegation you make about the mormou bill (the Caine and Faulkner bill, so railed, is absolutely true. And, in my opinion, you could truthfully have added: Said bill of conspiracy against the peace and welfare of all the people of Utah wa concocted by the well known mormon democrats, or republicans, Cannon, Penrose ami Caine." These men can change their polities at. the dictation of the mormon priesthood every few weeks, at occasion requires, as they have done ou the polygamy . it is also quite natural, from a mormon stand). lint, for the mormon republican SUtnianl of Otrden to jump upon you with both feet, because it is one of the kittens of the old I tab cat, like the Salt Lake tfcrald. Vou can thank your (Sod that I'tah is not yet a state, or you would soon know wtint it was to arouse the feelings of a mormou editor. If you will allow me space I will make a short reply to a letter in said issue of your paper, signed "Fergus Lester, Murray, L'tah." Mil.

Editok Thk Times An eastern friend of mine, a sojourner en route to the Pacific coast, lurried here for u few days last weok, and, like .all easterners, ho occupied some lime in picking up souvenirs, Ainoiijr them was a copy of the Juvenile Instructor, edited by George Q. Cannon, which he had taken about n half hour's time to peruse. He WaS lull little posted &00Ut the early history of t'tah and of the mormon church, but he had, through friends here, beeu able to peruse local paper! concerning the mani-festo mid their opinions thereof; likewise the Incident that followed n few months later, the dissolution of the people's party and local newspaper comments thereon In taking a rather hurried departure, necessitated by a telegram from the west, he said: "I wish you would give, me your impressions of an article contained in tho Juvenile I llH'rnctor of the 1st. inst henderi 'Topics of the Times; The Providences of the Lord,' signed 'The Editor,' and write me about it; or, probably belter, place your words lu print, if you can do so, and send me a copy of the publication that contains them." The article referred to Is a lengthy one, and so can only treat upon it most salient points. The old, old story of past persecu- tions is dw It upon, beginning away back in the thirties when the mormons were in the states, and then follows al'eged persecutions in this territory, beginning with (he time that President liuchauau sent an army here. A "powerful array of forces" is dwelt upon, under which the mormon people never as is nlleged, "in the various dark periods to which I refer. Ihe mainstay of these peculiar people," it is is stated, "is faith." "Faith without works is dead," says Holy Writ, but it must be admitted that the works wrought by these "peculiar people" through their "faith" have been the. source of a great, deal of expense and concern to 'the government and people of the United Hates since their occupancy of this territory in 1M7. "The distinguishing feature of the people of Ood" says Mr. Cannon, "is faith. Those who pressed it know deliverance would come just as it always did come." The methods by which "deliverance" has been achieved in retaining even a semblance of political power for tbu mormon chinch here be-ginning with the "invasion" of .lonhston's army in 1S."iT need not be referred to, I come now to the most significant portion of Mr. Cannon's lengthy article addressed to the. youth oi' l'tah. The gentleman savs: We are r.o-.- at the beginning of u new year. We look hack Oct the events of i ho past oi en mid exclaim how wonderful! .' (.ml has wroicht!

"One could scarcely believe that we are the same people today, and that this i, the same territory today that we were and that il was a iew years ago." " The changed conditions w hich surround ns," it may be saitl, were made partially by action of Ihe government "live, six or seven years ago" in first asserting its sovereignty to a per ceptlhle- extent by executing its' laws ; and partially by Ihe large influx of gentiles who secured control of the great commercial cen-ters of Salt Lake City aud Oguen. We are the "same people today," and if we arc at all it is by "the changed condl tions which surround us." So it was the surroundings that brought forth the mani-festo aud the dissolution of the. peoples' party It is a pity that the youth of I'tah who peruse the JuimilJiufruclor could not be afforded opportunity to intelligently read and analyze sufficiently to make comparison between Mr. Cannon's article herein referred to, and the testimony given before the mas. ter in chancery a lew weeks g, lo- (, dirge y.
