Show ' nMiVSMEITS. '-The fuel that forty-twi arrests for polygamy Cava been raads la the last two months In Utah doesn't look much as if polygamy was abolished, does It? It pays to watch tha Mormons Mor-mons all the time. Whan they are most submissive and sanctimonious in appearance, then watch thm the closer." That la from the Kew York Juf and Hipren, edited by a "sanctimonious" "sancti-monious" modern Pharisee, who places a Bible text at the head of bis editorial columns every day as a notice ts the world of bis exceeding piety. The fact that not a single arreet far polygamy lias been made ror the last two months in Utah doesn't look much as If the good Shepherd paid much attention to the ninth commandment. There Is no need to watch Mm very closely. Just glance over his columns and see how religion aad ribaldry, scriptural scrip-tural texts and scandalous sayings, ChrUtiaa sentiments and malicious attacks, surface religion and vile vituperation are thoroughly mixed and mingled, and the value of Au "sanctimonious appearance" can be readily estimated. Oa the "Mormon" question, the rfew York writer of perversions per-versions like tho above, is but aa echo or the Salt Lake scribe ho is convicted every day ia the week, Sundays Included, or wilfully biug about tho "Mormons." "Mor-mons." They have a mutual admiration ad-miration fur each other, as Is perfectly per-fectly natural. When thoroughly exposed they never acknowledge an error but try to bolster it up with additional falsehood. They are both after Satan's own heart and when thiy have finished the work of their ma'ter will together reap Its reward as joint heirs In his dominions, domin-ions, far ruZale ratrum. |
