| Show inconsistency OF THE CRUSADERS tim the salt lake tribune tries to take this journal to task for intimating that certain US U S officials were impelled amon among other motives in making their present wholesale assault upon the mormons cormons Mor mons by the tle desire to run up an enormous fee bill in their favor to come out of I 1 uncle pocket it ventures to say the NEWS should show about what proportion of his cases mr dickson loses loses to see if the charge has a reasonable look why should there be any need to wait mr dickson is engaged almost exclusively in the prost

number of cases he ap pears determined to pile up it will be because something probably proba oly to him unforeseen turns up and plays smash with his illegal and unwarrantable methods we do not say that the fees constitute the only object pursued by any means 9 but that they cut a prominent pro mi 11 flure figure ure Is too plain to be mistaken aspea speaking ing of the local situation the same paper says if the mormons cormons give up two features of their creed no one will interfere with their efforts at success one of the features is not a matter of creed at all ail but purely political
