| Show OUR CHICAGO LETTER it looks as if salt lake was in a fair way to eclipse chicago in the way of notoriety dur dar ing the past week the mormon qu question tatton has been the principal topic and when the news came that the gentiles gentilecore Gentile cor or liberals were triumphant great was the rejoicing in prostituted prostitutes no question was wad asked as to the means by 7 which the triumph was obtained evva even joseph muldoon of the ahi cago tribune endorsed the old jesuit Ln maxim aXinn the bhe end justifies the means As usual tile the death of mormonism is proclaimed to be at athams bariti but it has been so often pronounced dead that little heed beed maybe may be given to the theory cry here are a few sentences from various newspapers relating to the late salt lake election the salt lake election means the admission of utah as a state the schoolmaster has wrought the revelation 11 I 1 the mormon is being softly pushed into the ditch 99 the western barbarism to is being wiped wipe dout out 11 zion is being shaken to its foundations mormon defeat means a setback to the democrats democrat ta 21 mormonism la is doomed the faders elders must go the ballot is mightier than the sword 6 the loss of salt lake is the final blow to mormonism py A cheerful message has ut at last come from utah lawbreaking law breaking mormons cormons should et emigrate ra te py is gone ill the political goli political power of the church cormons mormons Mor mons do not understand the genius of american institutions the salt lake triumph though not a utah triumph is the next step to K it Y the defeat of the mormons cormons is a blow to the democrats 11 the zenith of mormon power is forever gone that hideous monster is at last crushed the nie edca herald says polygamy is crushed crashed all honor to vi virtuous gentiles these sentiments will give a tolerably fair idea of newspaper opinion on the utah question te le t l e cause they are taken from papers published in the most distant parts ut of the country they rhey demonstrate plainly how little is known of mormonism as it really exists ro cosay say that thai it can be wiped out by an alleged election triumph is the utterance of a fool to say that its fate depended on the salt lake election is the statement of a madman to say that its political power is gone is perhaps true because it never pretended to such power and whatever of political power exists in utah is entirely in the hands of that valiant knight godfrey de nebraska to say that mormonism is not in harmony harmany with american liberty and morality while the lottery business of north dakota is its is poetic absurdity senator ingalls inveighs against fraudulent ballots to in the south while senator ed munds according to the chicago tribunes salt lake correspondent advocates fraudulent ballots in utah to the serious thinker the mormon m on issue opens up a line of study which to is well worth indulging in for a moment or two why this fierce insane opposition to mor inon liam Is there design iti in it you will say polygamy Butt but there bere was no talk of that on ap 1 il 6 1830 just sixty years veers ago when six humble citizens and natives of this continent nent proclaimed the restored religion Is there ajera one step in its from that day to feb 10 1890 that has not met with opposition has it not been repeatedly assaulted trampled and thrown into the mire yet it has as repeatedly arisen invested with new strength vigor and energy from new york to ohio from ohio to missouri thence to cur own state of illinois and finally to utah has it not overcome obstacles apparently insurmountable have not its temples and tabernacles been destroyed and yet we see them in proud majesty towering today into the blue vault of heaven beaven fairly dwarfing dwar fing the most pretentious edi flees of the oldest existing creeds mormonism has experienced many and sad reverses but if it be what it purport sto be it has not net experienced the tenth of what it will it is not bot alone the political di disfranchisement siran chi of its members that awaits it but the property and wealth of its followers will yet be subjected to something entirely foreign to the established laws relating to private and public property it is true trub many foul things are said of it and will continue to be said of it ma y malicious charges ill founded and add baseless will in the future as in the past be preferred against it but has not this been the history of all great movements read bead the ben hur of general wallace and see what christ himself experienced though a work of fiction it is a faithful portrayal of the customs manners and laws of the time of christ and the atles apostles rome fell by her own pride ride and arrogance the jew by his intolerance and unreason and because god so ordered read the Fab fabiola lola of the late cardinal wiseman it is also a work of the imagination but it is a faithful picture of the primitive christians in the city of rome the haughty rome revelled bevelled revel led in wealth and luxury and paid homage to pagan gods and goddesses the hum ble christian sneaked in vaults cellars and catacombs cata combs today his body was anointed with tar and then ignited to illuminate the wrestling ground or the gladiatorial arena tomorrow he was accused of child murder and pronounced a ghoul a fiend and a knave was not there design in all this honest romans did perhaps believe in the child because they could not comprehend the doctrine of the real presence in the eucharist euc harlst as at that time expounded then read macaulay and learn what the early roman christians did for civilization and for humanity follow the pages of history down the course of time and what a catalogue of strange deve lope men t meets the eye come on to luther and calvin and to the great re spirits of modern reform read d the story of lady alice lisle as dramatically related by macaulay Macaula 3 in his history of england this lady was a widow of a crom bellian hero who helped charles the first across the border after the monmouth rebellion in 1685 pome ome of the defeated insurgents fled into hampshire two of these were harbored by lady alice they were preachers named hicks and the jaw of england holds accessory and principal pria cipal alike guilty in high treason in this case that C hief justice jeff reys of immortal odium displayed the refined diabolism of his feroci ferocious nature odious as english treason felony law was it was strained to destroy alice lisle by law she could not be convicted until after the conviction of the rebels she harbored however she was brought to trial before either hicks or to obtain a 1 verdict dict for the crown in such a ca case se was an easy matter witnesses bated jurors hampshire gentlemen deemed it outrageous to send a lady to the stake for an act of charity charily jeffreys worked himself into fury this was his first treason case on the the circuit and he feared his bis prey would escape him he used language blasphemous grawl and profane unworthy of a brawl or cockfight cock cook fight A witness named dunne anxious for lady alice and terrorized by jeffreys eu entirely lost his tongue jeffreys freys ef said oh how bard the truth lei to come out of a lying presbyterian knave was there ever such a villain on the he face of the earth dost thou believe that there is a god dost thoa believe in hell fire of all the witnesses that I 1 ever met I 1 never saw thy fellow I 1 hope gentlemen of the jury that you take notice of the horrible carriage of this fellow how can one help abhorring both these men and their reli religion ion A turk is a saint to such a alow fellow as this A pagan would be ashamed of such villainy ob blessed jesus what a generation of vipers do we live among the lady alice herself was question d but no matter what she said she would not be believed the calef justice himself volunteered his opinion of presbyterianism and of its members here is what be said but I 1 will tell you there is not one of those lying snivelling sni velling canting presbyterians rians butone way or another had a hand in the rebellion presbytery has all manner of villainy in it nothing but presbytery could have made dunne such a rogue show me a presbyterian and ill show thee a lying knave 11 the lady alice was executed by the clemency of the crown and nobility of britain she was not dot burned but be headed even this little concession to mercy aggrieved the infamous jeffreys do not the judges of utah say today show me a mormon and I 1 will show you a lying ayin knave there is design in all this 1119 t but we are madmen and cant see it we are moving in n SO an age that will

you americans explain your triumphs of art literature science society and commerce but seem to think that your religion is not worth exhibiting I 1 if I 1 this ms aesthetic prince should visit salt
