If the churches and other relig
ious and moral organizations dis
like Mormonism as intensely as
they say the' do, why don't they
fisrht the peculiar institution with
its own weapon? Mormonism is
increased and maintained only by
immigration, for, contrary to natu
ral supposition. I'tnh families do
not average more children than
those of other territories, and the
faith is not maintained with groin
fervor by saints of the second and
third generations. Eurojean ig
norance and poverty form the
mainstay of Mormonism. The
thick-headed peasant may not be
much excited by the alleged mis
sionaries story of the spiritual
g-lories of the new Canaan, but he
more fully understands an offer of
a free pass to I "tali and a farm for
nothing; when he reaches the New
Jerusalem. Many a man not an
ignorant peasant would outwardly
assent to any faith if he could, by
doing so, get a homestead and
free transportation to it. The
facts being as above, why cannot
the churches organize an unsec
tarian colonization society, the
agents of which shall follow Mor
mon missionaries throughout Eu
rope as closely as detectives arc
supposed to follow other mischief
makeis? Let the agents work
just where the Mormons work, but
instead of preaching any machine
made gospel let them offer free
homes to the poor, and education
to the ignorant, all through the
spirit of the gospel that is concen
trated in the Golden Rule. Let
them fight Mormonism not onby
by offering equal material induce
ments, but by opening the eyes of
the ignorant to the reputation of
Mormonism among respectable
people throughout the world. The
Mormon Missionary prefers to
work in localities from which no
one has ever emigrated to Ameri
ca, for letters home from our
foreign born citizens always severe
ly injuie Mormon prophets. Opin
ions of Moi monism, however, for
general circulation, can be had in
quantity from foreign born Ameri
cans whom the- peasant can iden
tify, and the endorsement that our
government would give such an
enterprise would have immense
effect. Such an organization would
have to be in competent business
hands on this side of the Atlantic
and prepared to complete the!
European work by having its
proteges placed upon homesteads
worth having, or located in colo
nies, but the land, as a rule, would
cost them nothing. For, with the !
money expended in the conversion
of one single Mohammedan to
Christianity, a liuiubed ignorant,
under-fed, tax-oppressed peasants
might be placed where their chil
dren would have enough to eat
and wear, and live better in every
way than their parents have lived.
"With the money that it costs to
convert a Jew a prosperous coun
try could quickly be made out of a
desolate valley in some western
territory. such an enterprise!
should every year use as much
money as a prosperous missionary
society; but if the churches were
half as earnest in lighting Mor
monism with cash as they now are
in talking against it, there would
be no lack of funds. Here is a
glorious chance for opponents of
Mormonism to prove their faith by
their words.
At Canton, Ohio, on Sunday, a
vault in the cemetery was found
broken open, that had not been
opened for ..twenty-five years, and
bones of corpses strewn all around.
The supposed object of the dese
cration was to o;et jewelry from
dead bodies.
John Jacob Astorand wife were
in London for a few days on their
way to the continent hist week.
London weather continues exceed
ing! v hot. The street clenninir:
and watering' are utterly inade
quate. The smallpox epidemic is
increasing. There was a "-eneral
exodus on Sunday. I
Genoral Le Due has unbobomed
himself in a sort of valedictory in
terview in which he sets forth that
we have fifty million consumers iu
the country and each mouth de
mands annualry forty-two pounds
of sugar. His last little derange
ment is caused by an attack of
sorghum on the brain.
Hurir,
Governor Pitkin., of Colorado,
offers a reward p'f 1,000 for Alli
son, the leader., Jind 200 each for
the balance rf a jrans: of outlaws
in renting Conejos county.
An attempt of the audacious,
impudent, insolent class of poli
ticians to procure the removal of
Second-assistant Treasurer French
on the irround that he
lacks knowledge of customs
laws, rules and regulations, and
the general duties of his office
pertaining to customs matters,
ought to be nipped in the bud.
On Monday night the tow boat
Mastick, of Port Discovery, was
run into by the English steam tug
G nippier, near Crescent bay, straits
of Fuca, and was seriously injured.
It is reported that the (i nippier
was towing a ship without lights,
and had ihe Mastick Jnot slowed
when she perceived the American
boat, would paobably have gone
to the bottom.
The London Times says the
opinion is growing that Great
Ijritian should not attempt to bar
gain with Fninceabouta new com
mercial treaty, but should drop
the negotiations unless it is dis
tinctly understood that any change
in the existing treaty shall be more,
rather than less, inclined to free
trade.
Saturdays vote at Albany shows
au unchanged front, but Mr.
Conkiing savs his chances were
never better. One of the stalwarts
who has been managing the con
test said to a Times reperter: "All
the money in Xew York will not
defeat Conkling." I know of three
half-breeds who are willing to go
over to him when their votes will
elect him, and we have only to
secure six more votes to make our
success assured. 1 believe that
we will secure those six votes dur
ing the coining week, and if we do
you will see a stampede for Conk
ling which will astonish vou.'
