Legisla legislature turp I 1 only wish I 1 had the tongue ot of demosthenes or the pen of lord byron that I 1 might impress the great people of utah with the and poetry y of their posit positional position ionah and show them how they can ww now make themselves a theme FOR FUTURE SONG or a subject for ridiculous satire by firmness and principle they ip pan dochat and by odwar cowardice dice and treachery to each other they can do this though not an orator nor a poet aplet yet I 1 feel that I 1 have a duty to perform ir ia this utah question and that honor and conscience demand its performance for mance I 1 cannot preach a brilliant discourse nor can I 1 unravel the intricacies of philosophy but I 1 can call to pay ny aid a man aye many men who can do all these things and much

convinced tine ded that the method or of teaching which approaches most moat nearly to the method of investigation is incomparably the best since not content with serving up a few barren and lifeless truths it leads to the stalk on which they krew grew it tends to set tho the reader himself in the track of invention and to d hect him into those paths in which the auther has made his own discoveries if he should be so happy as to have made any that are valuate abe this the system to be followed in utah in educating tor for the coming struggle by the simple process of investigation vesti gation and comparison it can be seen how much superior is the religion sought to be overthrown to those endeavoring deavo ring to replace it A little critical thought will show that that the of this crusade are merely TOOLS OF SATAN and used to devel ppe in mormons cormons a falness of perseverance of organization and of intellect J every thinking person knows that the last utah bill Is a

writes an appeal to the public regarding a work published recently by b one lamal lamb a kind of preach erand tand parasite it appears this work was written to show hat the BOOK or OF MORMON I 1 belonged to the realms of fiction and mcarthur says the author wishes to distribute gratuitously ten thousand copies of his bis work he gas has exhausted all his bifi financial resources in its

to shakespeare Shak hAk speare why it is only a week ago since mr lowell told the chicago lard dealer that richard the third was not written by but that the play was adapted from one written by SOLOMON SPAULDING I 1 a generation earlier but what seems most moat cil curious rious in mr lamb is the fact that if he really believed the book of mormon to be fiction he should with this belief firmly planted in his big mind spend his fortune and his time trying to prove that fiction is fiction it seems to me he might employ his time more profitably in trying to prove that martin was v as a reality or he be might blight prove satisfactorily ilist that matthews of albany Is ia not a colored I 1 man pan as senator ingalls lal fallaciously laCio 81 believes it could be proved to coln 1

of publication what means this revival ot anti mormon literature 0 oo 00 the heels of the edmunds tucker bill curtly that thal bill ought to be enough for this year anyhow and if the mormons escape it why then bombard them with the loic logic of lamb and the wit of field what is still stranger all the recent literature is intended for circulation in mormon households it if any of these books should
