Show IT IS A PITY. Yesterday Marshal Ireland, accompanied accom-panied by a large force of deputies, made a descent upon the Gardo House and adjacent ad-jacent buildings in the hope of finding John Taylor, and it is to be regretted that he did not succeed in finding his man. On the day previous the several resi dences of George Q. Cannon were visited and search instituted for that worthy, but he, like his ecclesiastical superior, was not to be found. Taking another tack, the Marshal now announces that he will pay a reward of $500 to any person per-son who will furnish information that will lead to the arrest of the latter individual. indi-vidual. The Democeat believes that the axe should be laid at the root, let the "chips fall where they may. The two men here mentioned, with Joseph F. Smith, constitute con-stitute the First Presidency of an organization organi-zation that has for years set at defiance the just laws of the country; whose officers, for the most part, have secured se-cured their religio-political advancement advance-ment only by slavish submission to the will of the aforesaid First Presidency; and whose object is, and has been, the establishing of an independent Kingdom within a free Republic, so that under the regime so established, they might have still more license to enslave and degrade women and rob the masses. To further this scheme, these men I have taught the people, by precept and by personal example, that to break the laws of the country was no sin? rather that it was a commendable thing to do ; and after involving thousands of men in trouble, and breaking the hearts of numberless num-berless women, these men, coward-like, crawl -into their holes to avoid the punishment that otherwise would be visited upon them. To effect their capture,- no stone should be left unturned, and when arraigned at the bar of justice to answer for their crimes, as, sooner or later, they certainly will be, they should receive well-merited punishment, punish-ment, and be made examples of to the extent that the law permits. The teachers and preachers, in this case, are the ones who deserve no mercy; it is to be hoped that they may receive just what they deserve. - . .- - . |
