Show A PEITLIAU IMRAUKU'II. Several pajers quote from the DBsnitET News In reference to the action of the Litter-day Saints ou the Declaration of President Woodruff. Wood-ruff. They do so recognizing that what the News says can be relied upon asjfxpressing the "Mormon" sentiment. Rut the InterOa.au, which is under baleful influences from this city aud is rarely right on anything relating to the "Mormons," "Mor-mons," has this choice paragraph: "The Dcrrct Sevs, of Salt Lake, official organ of tlie Mormin Church, does not indorse President Woodruff's manifesto against plural marriages. Tho editor of the Stu-t served two years in the penitentiary to atone for his plural marriages, while President Woodruff and George Q. Cannon left tho Territory. He can not be expected to cnthnse over a manifesto which does not affect him or save him fiom the persecution" endured for tho church." If there is any portion of the precious morsel that has any aj-proach aj-proach to Hie truth, we fall to discern dis-cern It. If there Is a paper that lias more fully Indorsed and written I up the manifesto than the DnsEnET News, wo would llko to see a copy j of it. The editor of this paper has not served either "two joarsV or any time "iu the jicnltentlary to atone for plural marriages." And the manifesto which forbids such marriages In future, affects him In common with all other members of the Church though It may not save him or any one from the '"fem--cutions"whlch anti-"Mormon" fanatics fan-atics and perpetual defamers of the "Mormon" people, llko the Inter Ocean, appear desirous of heaping utioti them. Will the Chicago echo of the "Liberal" organ of tills city please try again. For utter absence of au element of fact, however, we doubt if it can ever succeed In equaling the paragraph we have clipped from its columns. |
