| Show THE TIMES ON THE I ADDRESS T our eastern exchanges which I have been is issued sued since the first day of september contain the extracts I I which have been sent over the wires from the address of the first 10 presidency I to the church of jesus I christ of latter day saint it on the pr present besent condition of aff affairs lairs in utah host most odthe of the journals which we havo have ik seen thus far are conservative they publish isah the message as an item of news but make no comment upon il it net not so however the newyork new york times timm that is a radical republic I can journal of the moody bloody shirt stripe after reading the extract the times timet becomes or affects to become I very at the people of utah that is with the great majority it y of them it seems to have literally I lashed itself into a fury it is particularly displeased with the utah commission and the mor mons says the ame chemor mons are evidently bracing thero i selves to resist the th e law passed at the t last session ot of congress to punish h their v ices vices and destroy their political power I the cormons mormons Mor mons are doing no such thing they arc are not preparing to resist the law but they arc are preparing to defend their rights and prevent I tile political privileges this they are justified in doing as much so as the times writer or any ono else this they I will continue to do whatever vcr may I bo be the results I the times very severely criticizes the passage in the address of the first presidency which advises I the people to guard well our franchise and in an oil unbroken phalanx maln maintain tain and ustain our political K status and as patriots and freo free inon mon operate together in defense of what I few liberties are left to us that I paper says that advice is in keeping e with a di discourse scour sc of p president i geo goo Q cannon in abi which ich he lie is reported to have said mid I I in spite of a fanatical and hostile pulpit in spite of all tile hostile I forces form that can bo be brought against us we must and will continue to I fight for our privileges without flinching or wavering but with unswerving I faithfulness now have they not as much rig light ht to advise the members of the 31 mormon ormon church as the ministers of the methodist church have to I counsel the members of that denomination in such matters doisthe does the advice contain anything illegal or unconstitutional Is there a sentiment C 11 in it that aay any patriot or lover of american freedom and equal rights cannot endorse yet the tile I times timet says it is an exhortation to I the Ma Mormon church to stand solida ii r ly together in resistance to the ex execution of the united states las laws I the times is is rather behind the times k in the dark or else it perpetrates a wilful falsehood winch which in speaking my of the repressive measure parsed passed r a at t the last session of congress it freely admits that tile purpose of the tile edmunda edmunds bill wai wim to destroy I m absolutely italics are ours it was ft as prepared with great care for two distinct ends to punish and prevent polygamy yand and to deprive the mormons cormons Mor mons of their political power thus confessing that the law was enacted for the religious p persecution e rs elution and political ostracism against tho the mormon formon community k in utah to rob of their franchise and leave them to the I mercy of a set of anarchists and cormorants the times is very angry with the utah comm commissioners because in tho the appointment of registrars for awen I ty four counties eight of them aro reported to be cormons mormons Mor mons these i eight cormons mormons Mor mons says that journal E at arc are not of couise course polygamists but it is enough that they arc are members I I of the mormon church and they I cannot be expected to apply with I scrupulous upil lous fidelity the test of suffrage impo seed by the edmunds I bill it was enough that jesua jesus was a man of nasareth inai reth a place from I whence it was said no good could Y I come he was not to be trusted but f feared eared so they put him to death L el the mormons cormons Mor mons have been given a lc bad jad name naine I they are fire not trusted but x I I A f i il I I they are feared ami and many of them lave have been put to death for conscience and for tbt th truths sake eake but truth though crushed to earth will rise rise again so will ivill all jhoo who ivilo adhere to the truth wo we have no idea that t the utah commissioners will regard in ill the least the ire ira of tile times but that they will continue on the even tenor of their way wa y and discharge their obligations as 03 they understand them they occupy an oil unenviable mien viable position and have an tin unenviable task to per lorm torm but even abile criticizing their action heir their critic admits there is is no reason to apprehend any undue laxity on the part of the commission nor to r suspect it of any sentimentality towards the mormons cormons Mor mons still the tile times calls on the commission to explain a why t named eight mormons cormons Mor mons as registrars of election Is it any ally of the times business we think not the rimes timm furt further lier says this people have been dallied with by the federal authorities long enough k and that in particular no IV weak oak and mistaken tolerance on oil tho the ground of freedom of conscience should influence them in dealing with the cormons mormons Mor mons but while it stigmatizes stigma the people of utah as vicious vicious in in tile the nest next breath it pays them this forced compliment it the church has its recruiting agents in every country in europe I and receives fully
