To restore what? We can begin to form an opinion what Jehovah and his holy priesthood would do by knowing the true history of Utah from 1847 until now. Ia not the institution of aiarriagc among the gentiles, monogamy, the Best Product ot the Earth ? . What have you to offer on your celestial business 6ide of the ques-tion? Let me see. In old times you are welcome to Abraham, who played his wife Sarah off on two kings, and re-ceived camels, horses, etc., then turning Ha-ngar and child into the desert afoot, with a bottle of water and a crust of bread. Then you can have Isaac, who played his beauti-ful Rebecca off as his sister to a king and re-ceived camels and asses, etc. I give you the cunning, crafty, sneaking,lying, thieving Jacob, who worked fourteen years for Leah and Raehael, then by force seduced their two servant girls; then called them as your restoration progresses. Thus far you have produeecf Joseph Smith. I need 'say no more. Look at the depositions taken in the suit for the Temple block at Inde-pendence, Mo. Then you had Brigham Young, the true and legal successor of Jo-seph Smith, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. When Ann Eliza sued Brigham Young for alimony, the prophet walks into court and j swore that he had but one legal wife, and her name was Mary Ann Angell. Then there is your celestial beauties, John D. Lee, William Hickman, Rockwell, etc., md infi-nitum . Dedicate your temple to mormonism and its aims and objects and you make yourself an Iihmael of the desert, your hand against everybody and everybody's hand against you. Yours truly, Edward F. Minn. Hooper, Utah, April 4, 1892. holding the holy priesthood. potentates etc., appointed by the people.-- did not count George B. Wallace made the prayer on the northwest corner stone. This was the most sensible prayer, but he ad to give theiij enemies a kick. Parley P. Pratt attended to the ceremony! at the northeast corner stone. He took a text from the Book of Mormon and made the statement that it was copied by Xeph from the Book of Isaiah, six hundred years before Christ. After telling a lot of folly about familiar spirits, clairvoyance, mes-merism, spiritual knoekings and writing mediums, declared tiiey were all false and wicked. But those who came to Joseph Smith were all very good and came from God. I will quote his own words: "Who revealed to him (Joseph Smith) the( plan of salvation aud exaltation for the dead who had died without the gospel and the keys and the preparation necessary for holy converse with Jesus Christ and with the spirits of just men made perfect in the holy of holies from the dead ? How do the Saints expect the necessary information? By one holding the oracles of God, as a medium through which the living can hear from the dead. Shall we then deny the principle, the fact, of communication between i worlds r No, verily no! The spiritual philosophy of the present age was introduced to the mod-ern world by Joseph Smith. The people of the L'nited States abandoned him for this. A quarter of a century ago an obscure boy and his fi m atsociate in the western wilds of New York commenced to hold Converse With the Dead. No visions, revelations, etc., are ta"...td of .40 far as the modern press extends its influence. An important point is gained, a victory won, on one of the fundamental truths of mormon philosophy, viz: That the living may hear from the dead. Let Zion complete this temple, let it be dedicated and accepted by the Almighty. Let it be pre-served according to the law of the holy priesthood, and to administer the keys of His government upon the earth, "while sun, or moon, or stars shall shine or princi-palities endure." Orson Hyde offered the prayer on the northeast corner stoue. It was similar to that of Heber C. Kimball on the southeast corner. The point gained and victory won, 'j ciai.iied uy Parley P. t'raU, is' such ah uii-- T truthful and illogical statement that I must criticize. First The world's scientific philosophers, statesmen and editors, never admitted the aliened fact that the dead come back to con-vers- e with the living, either to mormons or spiritualists, for the simple reason that there the' holy priesthood. Is at That Ceremony Declared the Only Authority to be Recognized Either at Home or Abroad Some Good Advice From One of the Early Mormons. Editor Times: I think it would be wise to lay before your readers today some selec-tions from the Journal of Discourses, Vol. II, of the utterances of the leaders of the leaders of the mormon priesthood at the laying of the four corner stones of the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City, which is to receive its capstone tomorrow'. The en-thusiasm and fanaticism of the 50,000 mor-mons who are expected to be there on the oth will prove to the world that their super-stitious claim to govern the United States and then the world is exactly the same as it was on the 6th of April, 1853. In the fol-lowing quotations, comments in brackets are my own. Brigham Young, on the laying of the southeast corner stone, opened his address by declaring it the most important occasion that had ever taken place or ever would take place. "Why had not the Son of Man where to lay His head? Because His Father had no house upon earth. The ark containing the covenant in the days of Moses, was moved from place to place in a cart. If a man stretched forth his hand to steady it. wlifii it jostled, he j was smitten and died. Would to God that j all who attempt to do the same in this day might share the same fate! And they will hare it sooner or later, if they do not keep their hands. And Their Tongues, Too, in their proper places, and stop dic-tating the order of the gods .olyg-amist- s of the Eternal World. From Moses to Solomon Jehovah had ho resting place upon the earth, but walked in the tent before tne ark, as it seemed to him good, having no place to lay his head." v "David was not permitted to build the tfcmpie which he was commanded to build, Hlr.-j.us- he was a man of blocd, Is, he was beset by enemies on every hand and had to spend his days in war and bloodshed, to save Israel; mnch as the Latter-da- y Saiuts have done, only he had the privilege to de-feu- d himself and his people from mobocrats and murderers, while we have hitherto been denied that privilege." Great Scot! this man of Cod whining on this great .occasion for the privilege of killing off the people of the L'nited States! "He had no time to build a house to the Lord, but commanded his sou Solomon to do so." (By a woman with whom King Davidbad committed adul-tery, and whose husband he had cowardiy murdered. Then we are told thai this thug, murderer, thief, and liar King David is a man after God's own heart, he was like a mormon leader, without doubt. See 09 Psalm.) "The second house" of God was built in Kirtland and dedicated, and those who built it received a portion of their endowment, the preparatory ordinances then adminis-tered, though accompanied by the ministra-tion of angels, and the pre nee of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet though many thought they had received all and knew as much as God (Joseph Smith), thay have apostatized aud iroue to bell. Very few of The Elders Now on Earth know the meaning of the word endowment. To know they must experience, and to experience, a temple must be biv'lt. fi will pass by his Missouri temple founda-tion stone, Nauvoo temple, etc. "What are we here for this day? T lay the foundation of a temple to the Most High God. so that when His Son, our Elder Broth-er shall again appear. He may have a place to rest his head." Brigham evidently for-got that a lew minutes before lie had in-formed his hearers that Jesus Christ made his appea-anc-e in the Kirtland temple, and the end of the world did not come. Is this Jesus (Tirist a ghost at the beck and call of the mormon priesthood? Now you see him, then you don't; a mormon joker? "We dedicate this southeast corner stone of this temple to the Most High God. And may every tongue, pen and weapon that may arise against this building, feel the wrath and scourging of an incensed God. May einners in Zion by afraid. And may all who do not feel to say amen, go speedily to Heber C. Kimball devoted most of his praver to the southeast corner to asking God to look after his servant Brigham, the twelve apostles, etc., and telling God to let Brigham live to dictate the building, and see the top stone brought on with rejoicing, and then a few words about their enimies, etc. Bishop Edward Hunter made an oration upon the southwest corner-ston- e, making God aud the people understand that he was at the head of tne Aaronic priesthood, work-ing in union with the Mclchizedeck priest-hood forever to establish this kingdom: '"Let all people, sinners, nwhocrot and devils learn from experience that persecution will not win; they have effectually tried this plan and failed every time. Please take notice and devise Some New Scheme Next Time. Suppose you try the suggestion of our much esteemed though distant, learned, ver-polit-unsolicited chronicler, Lieutenant Gunui-son- , of leaving us alone severely.' When we look around we see prosperity every-where. What else do we behold ? Wicked-ness! the hydra-heade- d monster apostaey dares to lift his head in our midst. What becomes the duty of the saints under such circumstances, for the advancement of Zion's cause, purify your hearts and resist the temptations of satau. Aud arising in the strength, might and majesty of Jehovah, put down iniquity, yea, with mm eairle eye; ferret out, and with a strong arm hush in eternal silence, every ingrate who propones with his unholy presence the most holy place, who tramples under his feet as a thing of nought those cavements, those : most holy obligation which he has made. So ' is no basis to build such an impossible as-sumption upon, except the old su-perstition, which is much older than any history in existence older than the (rod of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the thousands of years older thau the fable about the Garden of Kdeu and the story of speciiil creation. Aud I sincerely hope the mormon people will see the folly of thinking and believing that Joseph Smith was the restorer and in-troducer in these latter days of a channel of communication between the living and the dead. It vas just as impossible for Joseph Smith as Parley P. Pratt, to restore some-thing that the human race had never lost, viz.: superstition. Comparatively speaking it is but a century ago when nine hundred aud ninety-nin- e or every thousand of the Anglo-Saxo- n race, who are far above all other races in intellectual development, could see withtheir mental eyes Trained in ignorance by priestcraft, the shadow of their d ?ad everywhere. When the moon did shine, hpiriN made them all lo whine; Ghost, upon the mountain top, (.h st, in the flowery dell; Ghostc, ia the house and cellar. Ghosts, in the messy well, Ghosts, at Princes wedding hall, Ghosts, in poorman cottage wall; Ghosts, dwelt in costly marble hall, Ghosts, were in the ox's Rtall. In the long ago when humanity I new nothing of the comforts of tents and ho ises, nothing about clothing, fire or cooked i ood, nothing about science and art, these i nor. ant and superstitious thoughts abou the dead, who are more numerous than the! ands of the earth, were quite natural, when man lied from his shadow to his cave iin the earth. But in April, 1892, for a people to a Jsem-bl- e in the midst of civilization, wit i the avowed purpose to build a temple, to be dedicated for the express purpose of e islay-in-the mental faculties of mankit id, is monstrous. For, behind, it all, lies Hi a fact that the mormon priesthood has the livino right from Jehovah to establish an ecc ieaias-tic- al theocracy and destroy all govern rnents upon the earth, aud every true mormon knows it, except Kentucky Smith .k Co., Latter-da- y Saints, now is the day o f your salvatio a on the bth inst. , when youl place in proper place the capstone of your T ;mple. The words of your leaders will save or de-stroy you. From Nov., 1853, I paid my week y sub-scription to help erect your Temple, when at home, until 186ft,when I left Birmingham, England, for Utah. I have no rights or claims in your Temple, and want nobe. But for your goo l and your benefit alone I write these lines. Dedicate your Temple To Love and Kindness, to liberty, justice and equality to all humanity; to progress, science and art not Christian, mormon or theplogical science, but demonstrated, trhth. Then you will be saved. Dedicate the capstone of your Temple wilh the same spirit, aims aud objects that you had when you laid the foundation stones the same spirit of hatred you have always manifested against common sense and the rights of man until the time of VVilford Woodruff's manifesto, which, you know, is only an evasion in hopes of state hood for L'tah Woodruff aud ail your votes can never make a divine revelation frjom your pergonal God, Jehovah, false. JLet your two priesthoods, which are one p riesthood, dedicate the capstone to blood-thi- r sty, inhu-- : man Jehovah, and to carry on the harbarism of Asia 3000 years ago.

THE APPORTIONMENT. Naming the I)ato of the Convention at Which the Qualliied Oeletratesi to Min-neapolis Will he Selected Committeemen in Attendance. The territorial republican executive com-raitt- ee met at 1 o'clock this aftei noon in the chambers of the L'tah commission, at which; time there was present: Hon. John E. Dooley, chairman, aud the following committeemen: Charles C. Goodwin, Charles S. Varian, and E. W. Tatlock of Salt Lake county. Captain David B. Stover, Tooele county. ' A. B. Emery of Summit county.

Guthrie of Bux Elder county. Colonel Henry page, secretary of the com-mittee. In calling the committee to order, Chair-ma- n iooley stated that its object was to de-signate the time and place for a territorial convention, the apportionment of delegate among the varioucounties comprising tha territory to the same aud dually the election of two delegates and two alternates to tho republican national convention at Minucap- - olis. The committee which was now assembled is that which was created in 18S8 at tht, ter-ritorial convention held in Ojrdcn, urul at which convention delegates wen sent to the convention at which Presi-dent Harrison was nominated. The com-mittee was elected for a period of four years, and its commission, therefore, will not have expired until the election of its successor at the approaching territorial con. vention. However, the "divisionist" republicans, at a territorial couveutlon held in this city in September last, at which time it was com-posed of recruits from the people's (mor-mon church) party and republicans advo-cating an alignment on party issues, artpoiuted a committee which wa labeled the territorial republican com-mitte- e of Utah. It was upon tha action of the "divisionist" republican-i- n or-m-committee that a convention was called at Provo on Friday last at which time the honors were split, O. J. Salisbury drawing j the divisionist republican mantle and Frank I J. Canuon the mantle from the ecclesiastical corps. The gentlemen will go knocking at tha door; the delegates to be elected at tha straight republican convention felecitate themselves that it will bo them who will walk in. The minutes of the previous meeting of the committee having oeen read and approved Hon. C. 8. Varian submitted an address re-viewing the history of the republican party in Utah, the secession of the divisioniats upon a rase concocted by the mormon church, and the work that now confronted the republican committee. The ulace for holding the territorial con-vention and the apportionment of delegates was then proceeded with, but pending tha consideration of the subject an adjournment was taken until 4 o'clock.

MISS POLLY BERRY'S ROMANCE. The Scandal to he Revived in the Dis-trict Court He Married Sisters Driggs against Johnson Various Court Notes. A shower of delays again threw the crim- - inal calendar behind this morning, the fol-lowing settings going over until 9 o'clock this afternoon: People vs. John Berry and John Heenan ; burglary. People vs. Ben W. Driggs, jr. ; forgery. People va. Alexanker Johnson; forgery. People vs. David Murray; fornication. The case against Berry and Heenan, a brace of vandals who are held for entering Luce & Bearman's establishment and de-parting with one thousand cigars of the value of $80, was called, when Lawyer New-ton reproduced an old play under a new name, and asking leave to withdraw the plea of the defendants upon the occasion of their arraignment, launched s demurrer to the Indictment, "ennuiel lor the defense held that the indictment charged tlie prison-ers with having entered the saloon with the "intention of committing larceny and then and there did commit larceny," and de-murred to it on the ground that it charges two offenses which is contrary to the statute. In support of his position he introduced California reports 39 and 43. in which analo-gous cases are reviewed at exhaustive lengt h. Assistant District Attorney Stephens re-plied that the indictment conformed to the oractice of the court, but to meet the issue on its meriU, asked until tomorrow morning to be heard. The trial was adjourned over to that time. Court Notes. The case of the people against C. W. Bon-ner is set for tomorrow. The Northland-Mayflowe- r esse is stijl dragging along in the district court. Judge Anderson requests as many mem-bers of the bar as possible at the setting of civil jury cases tomorrow morning. The accounts of Hon. Charles S. Varian, LTnited States attorney, for the quarter end-ing March 31st were approved this morning. It's a cold day for the pettyfogging fel-low who is compelled to explore a docket of 900 cases to find the solitary one in which he is interested. In the case of F. B. Gifford, charged with forgery, in that he had altered the date on a railway ticket, the jury returned a ver diet of guilty, at the same time recommend-ing the prisoner to the mercy of the court. Gilbert Marchant, who was arrested by deputy United States marshals at Peoa on a charge of unlawful cohabitation, and who, it is said, ia married to sisters, appeared be-fore Judge Anderson this morning ind en-tered a plea of not guilty. He was released on bonds. Miss Polly Berry, who urges that she was betrayed by the father of her child, is billed to make her appearance in the district court tomorrow morning. The case will not likely go into active adjudication, however, as Judge Dickson, counsel for the respondent, is engaged in the Northland-Mayflowe- r ease, the end of which has not ye" appeared. "We may be attorneys in U," chirruped Judge Hoge during the setting of jury-trial-s this morning as he groped medita-tively through the darkness, "but I don't know that we have any case of that char-acter." Parley Williams Let's agree that you have not. It drifted out of sight on the risibles of the bar. GREAT LOSS TO CATTLE. Dying by the Thousand as a Result of the Reeent Storms and Cold Weather. Guthrie, O. T., April 5. The late cold snaps and storms have caused great loss to cattle in the Indian territory. In the Chick-asaw country the losses are 30 per cent, fa the Creek country hundreds are dead and more are dying daily. In the Comanche and Kiowa reservation the loss is greater Thousands have died and they are still dying fast. A BRUTAL MOTHER. Mrs. Montague Convicted of Causing the Death of One of Her Children and Sentenced to One Year. Dublin, Aprils Mrs. Montague, charged with cruelly treating her children and causing the death of one of them by tyinr her up by the hands in such a way that she strangled to dea'h, was found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to imprisonment for one year at hard labor. Counael for the defense asked the jnry to avoid the influence of the savage outcry against the prisoner. She might have made a mistake in correcting he: children under the stern idea of duty, but that was without criminality. The prisoner wept copioasly as her counsel proceeded to make a sympa-thetic appeal to the jury.
