MESSAGE polygamy IY EDMUNDS A TRIBUTE TO LITTLE PIUL PHIL CHICAGO dec lith 1885 1883 editor deseret news Thep the preacher teacher the prostitute and the press dispatch dispatcher er are the tile three great institutions of modem modern civilization nowhere have this alliterative trio attained greater influence than in our republic here they stand out or rather push out their hideous obtrusiveness sl si veness into every avenue of progress and enlightenment bringing religion morality i and ree speech into con temp tand disrepute day after day the evil grows and the acts and utter auces ances of those terrible social pests are becoming more and more demoniac until mast at hist list they bland stand out as crys of unalloyed perfidy A civilization that call cau survive with these vipers gnawing at its bosom must have more tenacity of life than the village community that could maintain its organization in the face of smallpox yellow fever and cholera all simultaneous visitants tants some wit has said that nature exhausted herself in producing homer homen and virgil and that she kad had to join these two to produce milton there is no doubt but that the genius of deviltry combined the preacher and the prostitute to p produce r educe THE press this last is the very climax or apex of all that Is villainous repulsive and nauseating nanu seatIng in society the luxuriance of his atrociousness Is such that it must of necessity have taken root la in congenial soil it reminds one of those graveyards grave yards visited by old mortality where the rankness of the vegetation denoted the ifould and festering remnants of fermented beneath thus is it with the press dispatcher his hia roots can be traced to the decomposing remains of rell reil religion ion lon and morality of truth and decency decene y of honor and virtue now f festering esterine ester ine luz in the graveyard grave yard of society buried out of sight it Is not in the antl anti I 1 mormon crusade that this terrible e viper can do most harm we remember during 11 our last presidential election how he trifled with the de stines of a nation we see every day how he dabbles character characters AS gs well as public life with womans comans virtue ds as well as with mans honesty even the interior of the tomb is not safe from his ills 16 loathsome presence he will ravish the arn privacy a cy of ane household he will rake the coi col cof fined clay oi ot departed worth be he will shatter ghitter the most carefully guarded reputation I 1 lie he will asperse asper sethe tile trie most irreproachable life and alid all for what to dramatize villainy and consecrate criminality this la IS the press 1 ess dis of today to day dayan an educated vampire A disinfected INFECTED bis DIS this mornings dispatches from washington contain another evidence of the total depravity oi of the idis dispatcher atcher 11 this time the president himself Is alluded to and religion as well as death drawn int into 6 th the e cess cesspool P boi it appears that memorial religious services were held in washington in il 1 of the late king of spain and that these services were att attended ende by the president and cabinet by foreign representatives and other dignitaries tiie the service was waa according to the ritual of the homan roman church this ritual is elaborate and complicated and none nona but the initiated can follow its intricate movements and forms well bred people when attending this service usually conduct themselves as joseph hump hume did in the british house of commons during the slavery debat debate esit sit and say bay joseph josepa owned slaves himself h joaquin miller dd old the same at a reception ion iod in lir loudon where royalty was vas present and the result results was that the poet of the plains was reco recognized as ast a veritable child of fashion fadhl on and culture of blue blood and broad acres the president attended the service mentioned and 1 I sat stilla wr wrapped appedu in his overcoat thus offering ai a great insult to the roman reli rell religion ion lon it the petty malignity of thib this tiu tin s dl dispatch was wag not so apparent its puerility and apa its idiocy would be inexcusable it ia Is sent broadcast hoping that thai some perfervid romanist may construe it into something that would make political capital oui of it this seems a tri trl trifling flim film affair but it Is really a an a a appeal p p tal fal to th the worst of all ali prejudices tha that t t of religion and especially so in this tills country where whery a few years ag aro ago roman broman churches and demolished by mobs priests openly Insulted and rode rodo ori ort on rails ralls nuns leered at and ridiculed r on the streets and what is strangest of all these outrages were perpetrated by hythe bythe the very chool school which now misrepresents the head of the nation if the president should attend any such services in future he ought to stand stano on his head bead place his feet on the altar railing make a cuspidor oi of the c lb orlu oriu mand offer a cigar to the officiating clergyman by doing these things he willbe will be conducting himself 11 like ilke ke a yankee gentleman of the good old limes times and the dispatcher cannot find ond f fault an it then what the tile next excitement may be either from salt lake or W washington ashington time alone can dei del determine ermine A fair guess may be ventured on as the news from in salt lake this will be something ng concer concen concerning mug mormonism perhaps it will be the discovery of some human remains outside salt lake which can be interpreted as A 16 MORMON MASSACRE those conspirators out there might order a halt dozen cadavers davers ca from eastern firms lay them in a convenient place dress dresa them in deputy marshals clothes then set the dispatcher to work make heroes of vandercook undercook dercook and collin and raise another furore f acore there Is no knowing what the nature of the plan may be but it Is certain it will be tor maligning mall mali gning lignin 0 a and aud 1 d misrepresenting misrepresents the citizens of nf utah mah let thera them go on if the american people can cap stand the villainy utah can also adso As to the concentration of military in the west utah is al at present the most convenient place for tiie tile purpose the trouble i apprehended

these cattle companies and railroad companies who have stolen acres of land will have more respect for law by the presence of someren some ten thousand U S troops in utah in fact the dispatcher caie
