LAST OF AN interesting SPECIES AN ADMISSION FROM BEECHER BEHCHER HAMANS IN OUR DAY CHICAGO july 10 1885 1883 editor Deseret News eess mormonism is still the order of the day we have been hearing of its deathblow regularly for the 1 last vast few 3 ears but somehow the more of these deathblows death blows that are given the more vital mormonism becomes A few days ago telegrams from salt lake announced A DEATHBLOW because the editorial department of the DESERET NEWS was assailed the legram telegram ie stated that a NEWS editor had been arrested arrestee for polygamy but the writer of that dis dispatch must have queer ideas about consistency or else he tie wants to hit the salt lake federal officials a left handed clincher in the ribs it is gravely asserted that this editor is arrested for polygamy but as the div wives e are not to be found it is added that he has cremated them there seems to be anotn another er aud and much graver raver offense against this editor for it ft is said that the DESERET NEWS is more than usually abusive of federal officials latterly we are to infer from a perusal of this dispatch that either polygamy is an offense that thai might be overlooked but abuse of a federal official one not to be at all even thought about or that the arrest arrestor arre of this editor was a bit of personal spite seite agit and the commencement of a rai ral raid raia f for ae r the suppression of the paper anis deathblow also aiso states that a new interpretation has been given to the word p polygamy 01 gamy and that one can cab be arrested arres for conversing co with more than 0 one ne w woman oman there is good sound sense in this it baynot may not be law nor it may not be equity but it I 1 is good sound carpetbag carpet bag morality dean swift made a proposition once to settle some transatlantic quarrels which pre prevailed in his time famine and political disaffection existed in his country and the good dean proposed batin eating the children this would do two things remove the hunger and stop the source source of disaffection why not introduce into utah a turkish surgeon or two and have those abusive editors transformed into the third sex this would be very simple and entirely effective and there is a precedent for it in christian history another of these deathblow death blow specials appeared in the chicago times of june 20 00 it was a grave ave ponderous on derous one a full column in llin liin length ohp that also atals talks about the death biow blow but unlike the other fellow he hits bits the officials with his boot ile he does it pretty hard here is what he says THE COST of carrying a polygamy case through the courts ranges from rom 11 loo IJ to loo 1000 0 according co as the defendant is stubborn and lis bis his lawyers are shrewd this does not fLot include the sal aries of the officials paid regularly by by the government the expense might be re reduced need considerably but federal officer officers 3 here are like their fellows elsewhere they never missan miss an opportunity to grab a fee arget or get money from the treasury the grand lu iury jury M maybe a y b e in s session ess on ready to investigate a and ry anxious n u to 0 indict but the case will first be taken before a commissioner because tho preliminary hearing here involves fees tt the extent of 30 or 40 which would balose were the proceeding to be direct the fees of one commissioner as certified tilled to in the i the supreme court last week amounted to 1500 all ial or very nearly all ail all ail earned in polygamy a in y cases the marshal marshai marshll and deputies iio fio azg 1 I 1 clerks 1 erks district attorney and bailiffs all come in for fees some of them being much larger than those of the commissioner according to this writer polygamy Is much more profitable than any other product that could be raised in utah A federal official who is expert at making out expense accounts might develop it into A SPLENDID TRADE j the sale of war relics manufactured i few years ago buried in the earth and now sold as mementoes of our attiq awful alv civil 11 war is a profitable business bustness to many enterprising yankees nettled settled in 10 the south why not plant some pol dol in utah so that the crop would be e perennial it is a splendid rail ran road to the U S treasury it also prove a gold

submitting to his inquisition that is the kind of woman to rank with the princess monaco who painted her face iest lest the hooting bo otina rabble should see it blanch bianch before the tle ae axe

grovel ling dug boors who assembled to witness ter death struggle that she was liot not accustomed to undress before so much company nor was she usually waited on by such grooms and yet weare we are told there is nothing in utah whence when we have really the equal of any of these women if senator hoar were conversant with the history of his state he would know that even massachusetts had a heroine there was at one time a lady tried for witchcraft she pleaded not wilty lity and she was officially official officially lv murdered il abour about out two weeks ago the descendants of this woman raised a statue to her memory it took years to find out that she was a heroine but alls well that ends well and it is praiseworthy to recognize honesty and worth even it this I 1 late te day there is no statue being raised to the witch burners and it is to be hoped there never will be though it is probable that there are eany many hoars haars and nieces among their descendants ants at a charming piece of consistency Y is s this gentleman of new england in his speech before a womans comans suf frae frage association be he says the ballot for wo women en would ouid be the acme of civilization ills his labors asa as a statesman can be remembered only by what he has done to nullify the power powen of the ballot where women wield it laugh at this man mephistopheles our fourth of july orators and spread eagle patriots and indeed some of our best and most educated di divines iines used to fondly believe that in our country religious liberty prevailed and that the constitution of our country expressly forbade a persecuting spirit but this was A DELUSION for it has been demonstrated clearly within the last decade that the meanest most petty and most detestable kind of perso persa persecution cution can be carried out all history affords no parallel for at except in the case of f haman and mordecai as related by josephus and as pictured in the book of esther we tinctured have ave a haman today to day on every bush and the fate of haman harnan is i s following very many of them it would be hardly fair to state perhaps that it was the fate of haman that followed gen grant it is sad indeed that at the close of a long life of honor glory and P patriotism t cism he should have been made a li stool I 1 0 pigeon oi of by the antl anti 12 mormon faction n but ant one

Mor mons need not fear that heaven has deserted them there is only wanting a few more of these death blows to make mormonism the most lively corpse that can be imagined in the presbyterian record of october 1868 Is JW AIN ESTIMATE or LIBERTY as it existed the wo rid over and agit asit as it existed in america the tile writer if alive today to day must feel sad at the conduct of those interpreter of our constitution who have determined that it Is not only power but a most ingeniously con don contrived one here is what the writer in la question says yet it is not liberty that can enslaved nations give them thein liberty without religion and they will clank their chains and here we would give emphasis to the truth that ciril civil liberty holds but buta a secondary place in national advancement A people may have civil civi I 1 without religious liberty and because they may not be religious they can not be free what the nations ot of the earth most want at the present day is
