CHAPTER Vi.
BURIED IN TUB LAKE.
The Danite leader now beckoned
party to move on, bidding ns leave the
heaviest log-chain behind. The horse
men merely glanced at each other.
They knew what was to he done, and
swung into the saddle as o
No Cromwell ever bad troopers obedi-
tke»e ignorant and desper
ate followers of the false religf
America.
If you hate this question to settle,
sooner or later, will only atop
eider a moment, you will observe that
all each monstrosities that poor hu-
nature has brought forth on
earth have two elements for their
tablishmeut: one, the father of them,
learned man, a superficially learned
mn, a “crank;’* and the other element,
densely ignorant mass of mankind to
>w his doctrines among, to mature
and maintain them when they take
root. And these two elements are
wanting in recruits. They nev
er will be while ignorance is so general
upon the earth. Of coarse you cannot
destroy the leaders, the “cranks,” men
crazy over their books and abont re
ligion. Bat you can utterly destroy
their following. . Plough up the field,
cultivate it, and the tates will perish in
time. This ie the remedy. Cnltiva-
i, intelligence, education, associa
tion with others, have already done
much, broken off the hard corners of
this rock in the ms. But let ignorance
prevail there as it did thirty years ago,
and you will see renewed all the feroc
ity, cruelty, and crime in the name ol
the new religion which we knew then.
Destroy these people by war! No,
yon cannot destroy them by war,
though yon pour in a million of
with gnna and all the treasure of this
universe. You might kill them every
and confiscate their homes. And
in Enrope—anywhere, everywhere
where there is ignorance to follow and
fanaticism to lead—yon might see a
Mormon Chnrch.
Oar train moved on. The horsemen
galloped alongside, for a little way af
ter having had some silent orders from
their giant and iron-hearted leader.
Then they rode back. Then they gal
loped np the hill alongside again, and
so remained until we had reached the
top of the steep hill. Here we
death. It seamed that some one of
these men—two of them, three of them
must disobey this giant and monster,
kill him if necessary, and save this
beautiful girl. Even if they had no
sense of chivalry or virtue of valor in
them to help the helpless, it did seem
as if some one, any one, all, might do
almost anything to protect her, save
her.
Two men rode np, dismounted, held
their horses by the long teethers as
they stood there fretful and knee-deep
in the gleaming girdle of salt, and so
hastily lifted the long black coffin into
the host.
The giant solemnly and silently took
his place at tlie oar aud began to move
sIowIt and certainly toward the dark
and desolate lock in the deeps of the
lake.
The horsemen remounted, drew back,
hats in hand, and so aat with the otli-
looking out at the colossal and si
lent boatman with his singular freight.
Was he rowing to reach this rock
here the corpse had been seen loaded
awn in the water with chains? Would
he not go on, on, on, anywhere, and
escape these brutal and blind followers,
who believed him a saint engaged in
maintaining the Church of Jesus
Christ?
Bat these men did not donbt for a
moment. They sat their horses
crescent about the head of the lake and
looked on, tranquil, silent, reverential,
waiting with certainty the signal of
death.
Never fell there snch a silence. Nev-
was there snch a murder ae this.
Far above the gleaming towers of snow
the stars stood trembling. The moon
began to hasten away and glide swiftly
down in the west behind the hill ot
which we stood, as if terrified and re
faring to be a witness.
The man saw that the moon was go-
ing away, and he dipped his oars with
rapid and heavy stroke. The water
shone, sparkled, flashed in the moon.
The oar* dug into the heavy water
if dipping into a sea of molten silver.
The boat struck the rock!
could hear it grate and grind, all
so still.
The giant stood np in the boat a
second, then with bis broad right hand
slowly drew back the covering and
looked down as if into a face
coffin. He was so tall, his form
ed like a tree. Ha cast .a black and
frightful shadow far out over
silver in the fading moonlight. The
mounted Danites loomed np in the
mirage larger than the heroic etatnes.
At last the colossal figure in the boat
leaned over, canght up something long
and heavy from the coffin, stood np tall
and terrible with it poised in the air,
high above his head in bis two mighty
hands. He poised it there a moment,
dallied with it, heaved his groat heavy
•houlder8, arched his long strong back,
-ged to and fro in the failing silvery
onlight, and then with vehement
force threw it forward into the depths
of the dark water with all the tremen
dous power that was iu him.
The waters dashed np, gleamed like
suurise, closed over, and all was still
again in the heart of the great waters
of destL.
A hand was lifted to ns from the
nearest horseman, and we passed
the hill right in the face of the
great round moon now settling down
iu tho far-off Sierras, and I nev-
the place again for twenty years

“It te not lawful to put them into the
easury because it is the price of blood.—
Matthew xxU., 6
For fifteen dollars Judas Iscariot
had sold Christ. Under thrust of con
science or regret that he had not made
mora lucrative thiug out of it, Jndas
pitched the rattling shekels on the
pavement of the Temple. What shall
be done with the conscience money?
Some propose to put it in the treasury.
Others eay it has always been against
the law to nse for religious oi govern
mental purposes blood-money or reve-
gotton in the sale of human life.
So they decided to use the money tp
purchase graves for paupers. Picking
rough piece of ground where tne
broken and refuse ware of pottery had
been cast they set that apart as the
first Potter’s field. “It is not lawful
pnt them in the treasury because it
the price ot blood.”
We are at a point in reformatory
movement in this country where, in
shape or another, it is proposed to
control or arrest the liquor business by
making its merchants pay n high price,
iy $500 or $l,00h for a license. This,
is said, will extirpate the tens of
thonsands of low drnnkeriea and make
it possible only here and there for a
selling establishment to exist.
The $500 or $1,000 paid into the Gov
ernment Treasury will helpsnppor: the
poor-honees, into which widows and
orphans aw turned by the inebriation of
husbands and fathers. Don’t yon see?
This high tas will aleo help the
penses ef prisons into which the i
are thrown for crimes committed while
drank. Don’t you see? That will
also support the conrta of Oyor and
Terminer, whose Jndges and attorneys
and constables and juries and conrt-
honses and police stations find their
chief employment in the trial, condem
nation and punishment of those who
offend the law while in the state of in
toxication. Don’t yon see?
IIow any man or woman in the Uni
ted States in favor of the great tem
perance reformation can be so halluci
nated as not to see that this movement
is the surrender nf the whole reforma
tion for which good people have been
straggling for the last fifty years is
me an amazement that eclipses every
thing. My subject is “High License,
the Monopoly of Abomination.” P
you not realize as

that the whole result of this movement
by which low establishments
shut up and splendid establishments
to be supported is going to make

table. Nine-tenths of these drnnkeries

which can pay $1,000 license? Why
not shut np all the bntehers’ shops ex
cept those which can pay an extrava
gant tax? Why not close all the dry
goods store# except thoM that can pay
a big sam for the privilege? “Well,”
yon say, “that is very different.” How
is it different? “Well,” yon say, “the
bnsiness of selling bread or meat or
clothing does uo damage, while the
selling of whisky does a great deal of
harm.” There, yon have surrendered
the qnestion. If it does great damage,
then noamonut of money paid can give
nan the right to carry on tho bnai-
m. The $500 or $1,000 are a bribe
governin'nt to let a few do that
which the very attitude of government
declares a wickedness.
So, also, is jt anti-common sense.
Some one says it is impossible to exe-
i a prohibitory law, and as we can
eject the evil, 1st ns pnt upon it
this one brake. The fact that yon can
not execute fnlly a law is no reason
why you should not have a law. Which
one of yonr laws is fnlly execotod?
We have a law against Sabbath
breaking, yet millions offend it every
Snnday. We have a law against blas
phemy, bat some imes the air is lnrid
with imprecation. Wa have a law
against theft, but all yonr jails are full
of bnrglars and highwaymen. There
is a law against murder, bat we have
three murderers now in Raymond-
street jail, and scores of them in the
United States prisons. Since we have
not been able to stop theM evils of theft
and arson and blasphemy and murder,
why not compromise the matter and
for & high license give certain men all
the privilege of stealing and swearing
and massacre. Get ready your excise

No one had spoken to the girl to say
;ood-bv. Hope had been kindled in
ler heart. She had even taken a step
forward to fall in with the moving train
and follow ni as we started. A heavy
hand fell on her ehonlder. She lifted
her eyes to the missionary’s, let them
fall, and stopped aa still as the dead.
When we turned abont in the full
white moonlight-on the hill, and look
ed after the horsemen while they dash
ed down the hill fn*tf cloud of dust, w<
could see but dimly. Bnt a man who
professed to see clearly, said the giant
#aa fading the girl down toward his
own camp, and thtftigl/ coffin hiding
a#ay there in the s hadowe.
One of the horsemen rode down to
the month of the little stream where it
fell into the lake, and drew a boat that
was hidden there np into a little cove
formed by the waters of tho brook.
We cbnld not eee the girl now. What
was being done?
A e said before, we could see bnt
distinctly now. By and and by ec
one taw the monstrous giant once m
pushing hie long black box before him
down toward this lake, and pointed out
the dark-object to others. The horse
men rode some distance leisurely be
hind, with their hats in their hands.
The girl still could not be ee<
At length +dreadful suspicion crept
er as, and v a cry burst from one of
the women. 8be wrung her hands and
cried hysterically that the girl wa* in
the coffin and they were going to bnry
her in the lake.
Tho woman was silenced with effort,
and all etood still ae death, waiting,

And when I did return 1 came from

for his life for complicity in reorders

By good fortune l found an old
friend of mine who was then Governor
e Territory. ,We searched this
spot for the skeletons; but, as before
observed, the lake had eo filled that,
while we found the buried rock and
little island, we fonnd nothing more.
I told a Mormon elder this story,
and he earnestly assured me that all
we had seen of the end was the mirage
—a delusion; that tho missionary did
drown the girl, hot had taken this
conrse to save her from the Danites;
that he had left the girl in the willows,
to fall In with the next tiain that came
by, while he had thrown only his bag

People in this region talk as though
high license had never baen tried. It
has been tried again and again, and has
always been a flat failure. It was tried
in Missouri under what was called the
Downing Law. A prominent paper of
St. Louis, Mo., says: “We have now
in thiseity some 1,500 high-license sa
loons, and if there is one man in St.
Louie who ia able to see the good results
of high license, which its friends promis
#a us, we want to interview him. If
there ia any good in high license, if it
reduce* the evils of drink to a minimum
we are ready to publiah it. We know
that many good, honest temperance men
favored tha passage of the Downing
Law. Will they point ont to ns any
good it haa accomplished or ia likely
ever to accomplish, or ednfesa that they
have been disappointed?” It was tried
in Nebraska nnder what was called the
Slocnmb Law, at a $1,000 license
A. prominent citizen, requested to
give his opinion in regard to it, says:
“You ask, «Has highlinoese diminished
drunkenness? Not in the' slightest de
gree. Drunkenness ia steadily on tin
increase. This vioe, as all other vices
which government fosters, grows con
tinually. High license, aa far as dtoria-
iahing drunkenness is concerned, does
nothing of the kind. Mark this well.
I would repeat in thunder tones, if I
conld, it does nothing of the kind.
Gambling, consequent upon high li
cense, has fearfully increased. The sa
loonkeeper must have, io many cases,
a gambling-room annexed, in order to
make his business pay a profit under
the high license system. This vice is
making rapid progress through the
State, and much of the increase is di
rectly traceable to high license.” Iowa
tried it at a $1,000 license. One of the
daily papers of Des Molnek eays: *Dea
Moines has tried a $1,000 license only
to find that it has increased the number
of its saloons and the daily excess of
drunkenness.” In other places high li
cense has been tried again and again,
and always with the same result, and
yet there are those whd’would have the
farce enacted here. The Washington
Sentinel one of the chief organs of tho
liquor traffic, bursts into derisive laugh
ter at the high license attempt in Ne
braska, and saya: “Tfce Prohibitionists
in Nebraska, finding that the high li
cense of $1,000 has not decreased the
sale of liquor, are now endeavoring to
increase its sale by raising the license to
$2,500 per annum .”
We are making an effort here to

then dare yon give to the man who can
raise $500 or $1,000 the privilege of
selling sweetened dynamite, while you
deny to hia neighbor the privilege be*
cause he can not raise more than $50
or can raisa nothing? Uave the small
dealers in the festive liquid no rights?
I plead for jnstioe to the tens of tbons-
as a yearly license onght not t
chase immunity. Is it common
that one business should have the right
to despoil all other businesses if it pay
a special tax? A great Northern man
ufacturing company recently establish
ed themselves in Georgia. When ask
ed why they located there their answer
was: “Because this township voted to
have no liquor sold.” That honest
manufacturer discovered what we all
know, that the rum-selling business
harts every other bnsiness. If the
millions of dollars that go every year
for rum were expended in healthful
direction, there would come a boom of
commercial and agricultural and
ufacturing prosperity 150 per cent,
greater than this country ever saw.
The money that goes for drink, and
has no result except ill-health and pau
perism and crime, would go for cloth
ing, for hooks, for education, for home
steads, for horses and carriages, for
farms, for life insurance, for the ten
thousands of comforts and adornments
and lnxnrfa of life. Yon who get $1
a day for wages wonld get ’$4, yon who
get a salary of $1,000 a year would get
$2,000; you who receive $10,000 a
year would receive $20,000. The rum
