Dis man, if he be 'lowed to clandistinely grab hole ob de skools ob dis communety, will holely revolushunize kustums and reguiasnuns until aer won't be found any-whare any-whare on de broad expanse 'tween de St George Temple and British Columbia a single copy ob de Doctrun and Kuv'nants or brudder "Musser's Fruits ob Mormon-ism" Mormon-ism" as text books.

To approximate de premises, we may conshienshusly say dat it is a warfare ob brains agenst piety, an we darefoah pray dat de nashun will step in an frustrate de ambiguous inclinations ob deze intellectual intel-lectual nabobs. We hab endured moah pe'rsecushuns dan de Chinamen. Our best men hab bin 'rested for consnirapfla nn hm'rionra an even now de good an saintly Hampton Hamp-ton lies 'carcerated on stinking meat under de cruel an barbrus sirveilance ob Deputy Burt, an de irrepoachable Jones, whose virtues hab bin sung on ten thouzan tungs, stans in daily jepurdv ob goin up foah three yeahs. Still moah fiendish am de effurts ob deze Federal vulchures to handicap de operashuns ob de immortal Treseder, hooze zemplary habits are but de fruits ob a life's long career under de tooishuns of our revered. inBtitushuns. Deze are merely a spot in de bucket obdenoomrus indignities dat am foahced upon us, an now it am sot to heap on de privashuns by pushin into office a-set ob scalawags who neber paid a. dollah ob tithin in all dare fragrant lives. How long, oh, how long,' Brudder Grover, must we sit quietly in de undergroun' and witness wit-ness dis.

We appeal to you foah de: third an' lass timeto Btretch foath de arm ob Justis; to 'mend dat ole Conshtushun so dat we wont be handicaped wid deze litigashuns, an' if dis prayer am 'lowed to beet on de hardened hard-ened drums ob de ears ob de nashun, den we warn you dat . we will stan' de nonsense non-sense no longer, but we wiUpick up our goods an' chattels and decapitate foah pastehures new, and leave you an' de dKJigiit.cyclone3 ob Hear ye, Hear ye, Hear ye, so be it. ou vjeobqe Qoayle Canyon, mittee undergroun' Com- |
