Show RELIABLE information the mormons cormons have resolved to abandon the iian dlan of emigration and to fight for predominance an auray affray has occurred in which eight gentiles were killed placards have been posted everywhere about utah warning enemies of mormonism to depart flews adwa of the VIC world it is said that error will go twice round the world while trutha a vitting on its boots however truet that may be it is certain that falsehoods travel quickly and the Nv world orid orld seem to 0 r elish reUsh them better than accredited truths if we may j judge from the number served up by the cateress caterers cater ers for the public in the matter of news the above paragraph 0 clipped from the london news of the world IF orid orld is a fair specimen of the reliable items of I 1 information I 1 sent by mail and telegraph from utah by our enemies the unblushing barefaced barefacedness nes s and audacity of the faise false falsehoods hoe hoo ids published and circulated concerning utah and the mor monsa mons are so numerous and so protean in shape that it would be an endless task to attempt rebutting the them in were we so disposed but we have neals no disposition to follow those who love to make a lie in their ilmy limy slimy meanderings if false falge falsehood hood travels faster than truth truth will outstrip it in the race before the goal is rea nea reached chedi so misinformed is the great public concerning us so rooted are the ioelu prejudices of many against the mormons cormons Mor mons because of that very lack of information and so corrupt and mendacious are many who come here and undertake to tell teil the world concerning mormonism and the mormons cormons Mor mons that it is no wonder derouch sueh such statements are circulated and find credence w with I 1 t h numbers even though they have not pot the shadow of a foundation as in the present instance but there is some something illing consolatory in connection connection with this honest thinking men and women who read absurd and ridiculous tales about us from time to time are fast losing fal fai faith falth thin in them they do not see the results so loudly talked of we have neither emigrated 11 resolved to fight for predominance nor posted placards warning enemies of mormonism to depart people not of our faith keep coming here and going when it is their pleasure so to do and people see I 1 know nov now and understand this they can put this an and ana that together as well as the men who make the newspapers they know that certain causes produce ee ce ceralie nhi n results and as the results do not rallow fallow here from causes that are said to th exist they naturally conclude that their has been considerable tall lying done which is is the truth the fact is our enemies enemies have overshot their mark they have concocted such tremendous thumpers thumpert thum pers that no sane man who would stop to think for a moment could possibly believe them and men and women do think in this age as well as in in any other some efthem of them think a great deal and many of them wein understand thail that these tales as miserable got up for a special purpose by interested parties and greedily seized by the newspaper makers I 1 anything being deemed fit to publish if it I 1 is only in print of course wh when en it is a little sensational so much the better bette r we are reminded here of an anecdote of an old scotch clergyman who in reading from the book of psalms and david said in his wrath all men are liars paused and remarked by way of comment all ail ali ah david had ye yo lived noo ye would hae said sald it in calm blaid I 1 11 probably the old gent lemans parishioners were afflicted with one peculiarity of the regenerators who seem never able to tell the t truth unless it is done by mistake will the people of utah as a whole I 1 believe that the ridiculous lie which heads this article or one similar in import was telegraphed from utah to the east cast and had to it the names of men who have grown fat on their hard won earnings and should they them not feel grateful to those kind friends who are laboring so assiduously to give them such notoriety in the eyes of the nation and of the world they ought to appreciate preci pre clate ate the fertility of imagination that can sit de down awn ina lna in A back room on whiskey street and fabricate malignant falsehoods out of whole alth cl th the only thing tiling that detracts from froin the credit that would per perhaps h ap s be at corded accorded to such romancing in some 0 other ther places is the poverty of variety that is displayed sow now ow if somebody could get up some really original concoction conco tion of a different color accuse the mormons Mormon Mor mons sil sll of something terrible but new some outrageous crime that has not yet received attention from them he would be entitled to take rank among them as a leader of capability but they seem to have exhausted themselves in that direction and can only add by increasing the magnitude of their fabrications we hope our readers will pardon our dwelling as long on this subject at present but having noticed numerous tales statements and paragraphs of a similar character in in our exchanges without commenting on them we thought it would not be amiss to clip this one coming as it does from the other side bide of the atlantic having traveled there and back since april to the press we would say and we desire they should tak take tale e note of it we do not reply to the scurrilous and false statements made about the citizens of utah and palmed upon n the people outside of this territory as reliable by our open and avowed enem enemies les leg because we could not do so without entering an arena too filthy to step into it would be a thankless and a profitless task to hunt up falsehoods and their authors for the purpose of replying ing to them H he e that is filthy let kim lim him be filthy still but they can safely take off ninety nine per cent of the statements made against the mormons cormons Mor mons as downright romancing and receive the residue with caution if they desire notto not to have their minds abused nor to mislead their readers |
