Show A DESPERATE CASE there is ie a certain class of men whose disposition to be mean causes them at times to give vent to their venom through the medium of a newspaper knowing that thai thereby what they say wll lina a much larger audience than it if they coi with the wora of mouth pro process the ane incentive is in different in different caseb bitt the disposition spoken of being in stock

bin family but every other family belonging to the same organization in the community is branded and pointed out to those who can be influenced as objects to be shunned I 1 this thi is execrable but it is not the superlative degree in the dastardly business by any means for loni lly one of f the mental malformations spoken of gives birth to the circumstance needed as a foundation imagines it

first named belongs I 1 this to is contemptible but it is not uncommon and it is less uncommon now than it has been for some months past in the only liberal organ remaining in the territory appeared this morning a letter from eureka which is of a piece with much that has of late appeared in that paper both as original and contributed matter it the letter does not answer in all respects to the above analysis it to ia vile enough in another way to make it a fit companion for all and anything ot or the kind that has haa ever appeared in the medium spoken of A young man whose father is ia a lead ng mormon in salt lake city told the correspondent that mr hyde had told his bis the young mane banle father that he be would have to wait but a snort time until antil he be mr hyde would have no

not impartial reader yet the results are about as aa here described and that is the basis on which they rest the correspondent heard that somebody else beard that another person peirson gearul thatis that is good evidence of course in or out of court and as aa if to clinch it ote ore of the bearers in this series of bea bearings ie the son BOD of a good sized mormon in this cit I 1 heres logic for you the whole tenor and bent of the article la is to show that cormons mormons are utterly unworthy of belief anti and yet he refers t tj the nearest relative of a big mormon as aa a means of giving credence to what is ob 01 consistency where have you strayed off ti tta if the young mormon is worthy of belief because he be is a mormon all ali other mormons cormons by the force t if f association also are and it if he is not worthy of beli f of course the whole statement baij prostrate thereby can any senal kle ie unprejudiced person see any other logic in 0 ii the conclusions reached by the cor are I 1 the sequence shows our italics that the plot and plan was laid before to oust everybody not mormons cormons from the mine and then jill fill it up with good tithe paying brothers VI 2 hence chenco many ol of us believe today that the fight to is not merely between mr hyde and the union but that it to la the while power of the mormon church arrayed against the mantre and against everything mud and every loidy that thai Is not mormon and there you are it is not much upon which to predicate an argument but those who set out upon anti mor idor mon fishing exploits do not as a

and that what has bais occurred at the Bullion Book Beek works would have occurred under similar circumstances if there were U not 0 t a mormon officer or shareholder in the company if this is not enough we refer the reader to the answer of president woodruff to the ra minera union of eureka in wl which lob he be positively disclaimed anything in the nature of interference and announced that if any one else acting in the name of the tha church had interfered he did it without authority if the son of a leading Mormon giving givin second or third band hearsay as aa evidence is to credence surely the leading mormon himself speaking for himself should stand even higher in the scale of credibility |
