St 3 delivering stirring and eloquent appeals for aid to carry on the masion wor work begun five years yeara ago in the territories ri tories ei the bishop kindly gave utah the lions iiona share of attention in his hla dia courses the other territories being evidently of small account compared with this ho he told tod the st louis ans of the resources of utah the character of the people the rise history i present condition and future prospects of mormonism brigham young he lle said had showed hla his wisdom in persuading his people to devote themselves to agricultural pursuits in preference to mining although the broad acres of the Terri territory tors toly were inlaid with the richest metals they had thus escaped the influx of emigrants which the excitement attendant upon the discovery of the wealth of the land would have induced the people are comfortably settled jn well to do farm houses and are now doing a thrifty business supplying the mining districts with agricultural products 0 the bishop believed that mormonism was near neur its end that and gentiles and the strong moral influence bavo bave save savo the mark exerted against polygamy 0 gamy were favoring that result the only hope of the cormons mormons Mor mons was in further exile and even that would fail fall the present policy of the administration toward the mormons cormons Mor mons was wag the wisest course polygamy to be abolished gradually by law but present relations not to be disturbed which the bishop ought to know is not the policy of the administration aa ner expounded by y the fanatical Methodist ical judge wath with a mission the bishop bald baid he had been crafty in his move movements mente here pursuing a con oon in order not to defeat his hla ends by arousing unnecessarily the the people the bishop is a sly dog but he harthus has thus let out tha thinness and hypocrisy of hia conservatism his ruse de guerre he said had been successful the success being almost entirely with fledglings the old birds birda being too wary to bo be caught with his chaff in other words his schools were a large success though rather on the loaves and fishes order half the scholars being given their tuition free for mor says bays the tho bishop gilt it Is through this source that the cause is daily gaining strength to teach the adults who are rell reil religious enthusiasts and consider flous thease themselves ves wiser than thosa to whom no special revelation has bas been made is almost beyond human possibility ja the bishop acknowledged tut that he was of no poa possible sible account with the adult mormons cormons Mor mons and even this labor with the children could not be accomplished without expense to meet thia thief expense a system of scholarships had been devised and private individuals sunday schools and churches in the states were invited to purchase these scholarships to induce such purchase was inferentially the hurden burden of his begging tour thus it will be been seen that one thing depends upon another in the most logical and beautiful order the last laet and best and most beautiful thing arrived at in the chain being money 0 dearl dear that filthy luere ducre is always expected to ileon lie lle on the bed rock of thebo thebe philanthropic and religious miss mibs missions lons ions says the report in conclusion during the offertory which followed a shower of bank notes fluttered into the elste eiste plate to aid the cause we are giad glad to hear bear it and we take the liberty to solemnly charge the bishop to see well to it that those notes and all others obtained in like manner for utah do not pasa through too many riddles on the way here utah expects every blessed dollar of that money THE alta aita california for some reason or other appears to be rather spitefully inclined towards utah and the other territories ri in that paper of march 12 are the following comments upon the recent social meeting of the delegates from the territories and president grant vice president colfax and other high officials and influential gentleman in washington i the tadpole members of co congress 19 rods ress appear appeal to be in an unusual state of excitement cit ement in washington the tadpoles are the delegates from the terri tories who in the lower house have the right of speech but no vote voces et pr cetera nihil we perceive that they god got up a dinner a few days ago at which they croaked melodiously they had the president and vice president among other notables as guests and they then and there declared that it was no longer possible for a man and a territorial delegate to be excluded from voting upon the affairs aal airs of the nation so far as it itt wat wab possible to make out from the rather turgid oratory of the occasion it Is evident that the tadpoles meant a system of territorial governments so altered that white while the grester greater part of the expense of maintaining them shall be defrayed by the nation at att large their privileges shall be on an equality with those of the states if they should be allowed to yoto in the lower house we should find them claiming a similar right in the senate are nob nou questions affecting the territories tories acted upon there as well as in the other wing of the capitol if the tadpoles meant precisely what the alta aita supposes is there anything outrageous in their meaning ii 16 can hardly be ba denied that taxation without representation is utterly op posed to the fundamental principles of american government yet such is the condition of the territories it can hardly be denied that the imposition of official strangers from a distance by a distant executive is repugnant to the spirit of american republicanism yet to such imposition are the territories subject it can hardly be denied that thai the fact that the absolute veto of one such imposed official stranger being sufficient to nullify the wishes legislatively expressed of american citizens is repugnant to american liberty yet buch such is the condition of utah we might go on to much greater length in these illustrations but those we have given are sufficient to show that there are reasons abundantly powerful to induce the territorial delegates Dale daie gateb gatea to consult together upon the best means ofee of securing curing to american citizens in the territories something like the common rights of american citizens elsewhere now as to the supposition that citizens in the territories might enjoy equal rights with citizens in the states and yet the federal congress furnish means to carry on the territorial governments ern ments we see no especial eap ecial objection to th that on orl the contrary we think kit it would be a decidedly good thing it would be ba a graceful recognition and aud substantial encouragement of the boldness enterprise and energy of the brave men and women who go forth into the unbroken wilderness and subject it to the uses and improved improvements i ants of civilization and t thereby h cereby devel develop op and multiply the national resources another excel lent result would be likely tollow to now from such a policy polley the federal congress instead of keeping a territory out of the union as ils long as aa possible would naturally be glad to see its territorial wards off its hands as boonas huoh territory was in any wise capable of sustaining itself as a state so we bee see nothing in the rem remarks arks of the alta aita but bub a little not very sensible ridicule of territorial matters rather a small busi nes for a big bi sheet like them the alta aita to ia bulge in we bave have another word with the he zila zita aa Afla the same bame issue following j J never before was justice reduced to such a forlorn condition as in the ter eltory of utah at theare the present kent abent moment i it has for some soma time been meditating high proceedings there thero but finds ateek unable to proceed froma lack of funds the tha indictments have been returned the criminals placed ruder puder arrest and antl every preparation made buethe money which makes abud a judicial al tribunal go as well as the trad traditional t onal mare is not available so we have a judge in washington importuning the authorities for the means to enable him to bring his criminals to the bar ban of the insulted majesty of the lawi law justice therefore in utah appears to be not only blind but pov erty stricken to a degree that is positively heartrending heart rending cannot bring up a malefactor no matter how audacious at a round turn because of its nio sity and is ii kene nene generally rally raily played out and inefficient it is to be hoped that chief justice mckean will obtain all the means that are necessary for the proper mounting of the high judicial tragedy which he is meditating also that he will be provided with a prosecuting attorney who is not in the interest of the defendants the aita alta does not appear to comprehend the situation thoroughly justice is certainly in a forlorn condition in this territory bry but the causes are different to what the alta represents there is no lack jsck of funds to carry on the courts when the courts proceed according to law but the funds are very veny difficult to be got at when the courts proceed contrary to law as has been cambere the cabe case here in fact that is precisely what is the matter judge mckean had a mission to demolish mormon ism and id order to do this he took the liberty to over override ridd the law and then expected the territory to pay him for his illegal work not a very reasonable expectation our citizens have a little regard for law and justice if judge me are kean has none the high hi h judicial tragedy which judge judg 0 o mckoan mckean I 1 an meditates in utah is the destruction of mormonism and the cormons mormons Mor mons a purpose which does not come vi llian the scope of his legal duties in which he ha has not the first shadow of right to engage and in the public announcement of which lie he voluntarily unta rily exposed his folly to the gaza gaze of the whole world though tb seems very slow blow to see it the insulted majesty of the larr larg is ia simply a bit of editorial stock in trade and has no fitting application to the case excepting where the majesty of the law has been insulted by judge mckeand Mc Keans subversive and course and there it has been shame bhame shamefully fally insulted A prosecuting attorney not 1 1 in 11 the interest of the defendants is a similar bit of stock in trade and is just the kind of stock dealt in by the salt lake manufacturer of sensational dispatches for the press outside but the phrase has ha 9 no further meaning A boiton girl has rid herself of if an aa importunate port lover over by taking him weston like walks which resulted in the heart disease and death of the unfortunate ne the lady Is delighted
