la n 1 mgt march th 1 aw editor deseret ahrews yews the news of the arrest of PRESIDENT GEORGE Q CANNON which came by cable was wai quite starting ing to the elders aud and saints in this country and was so unwelcome as to cause considerable as to its accuracy and until american papers confirmed the meagre report hopes were entertained that it might prove unfounded knowing the intense animosity entertained against the chief men of the church and so freely expressed in regard to that able champion of the truth the desire of all who can estimate their corvi has been strong strod that they might escape from the anarig snares set for their feet and now dow the prayers of the faithful will be advent and frequent that some way will be opened by which that gifted and va valiant bladt servant odthe of the lord may be delivered out of the tolls toils however THE WORK OF GOD does not depend upon the liberty or the life of any man this has been demonstrated many times to those who have eyes to see and ears cars to hear bear but it seems as though the enemies of truth cannot profit either by the lessons of history or by the examples given them in instant experience joseph the martyr was slain and the church still lived brigham the pioneer died and zion still flourished the present leaders may be bound or banished and the system they advocate will grow and spread all the sauce same for it is divine in its origin true in its nature deathless in its constitution and unconquerable in its aims and destiny it is the kingdom which shall never be destroyed ana which is not to be given to another people the promoters of the present unholy crusade may for a time oppress the saints of the most high and think to wear them then out rout but in a little while it will be said behold they the y are arenott areno hotl tl and the trials which the true and alpa patient endure will fit them for the glorious future that is at hand these offenses must needs come but woe unto them

these popular outbreaks were more the work of the criminal orders who mix with the protesting unemployed laborers than of the who were rendered des through hunger and destitution the winter has been prolonged and severe the depression in trade has been more than ordinarily heavy wages have been exceedingly low and hundreds of thousands could coula get nothing at all to do the relief system is such that many prefer semi tion to te the insolent and heart heartless ess cross examinations of the workhouse offic bials and hesitate to break up their homes and go into the cheerless imprisonment in of the poorhouse poor house hoase one great difficulty is the LACK LACIC OP OF THRIFT and self denial of the average working borki man and woman the weekly wage is commonly used up as soon as earned and in many instances anticipated people not only live from hand band to mouth but they run into debt and on saturday night when in full work pay off the score for th the e past weeks living instead of laying in a store for the coming week and by a trifle for a rainy day so when misfortune comes they have nothing wherewith to meet it and sickness or stoppage of work makes them paupers

men and women have exerted themselves in this direction with an ail enerie and add devotion which cannot fall fail to gain th their air reward many thousands of pounds sterlin sterling have been subscribed but the money is soon expended and the relief ot course can only be temporary the difference in the death rate at the east end and west end of lindop illustrates the EFFECTS OT or POOR

inhabitants has a death rate of 25 per 1000 in the former 95 93 per 1000 of the children die ia infancy in the latter that this ai is u not 0 t a mere question of locality is evident from the fact that st james westminster which is vest partly artly a poor district although at the west end has a death rate of 18 per 1000 in a population of while in at the east end entirely a poor district it is

whitewashed while his poor guilty paramour was utterly condemned d amnet but mr justice butt decided that although her confessions entitled the plaintiff to a decree yet as she had not appeared in court where she could be cross exam ined her statements were not to be received as evidence against another with whom she was alleged to have hae committed adultery if she had come into the witness
