ITS EVILS AND WHAT THEIR NA

GonprohMiWe and Intelligent Statement of the
State of Affatra In Utah—The School*—The
Chnrch and It* Bight*-How Oppres

From the New York Tribune.
Wabhikotov, March 29.—Congressman Ed
win Willits, of Michigan, who has paid much
attention to the Mormon problem, has re
ceived from the Rev. D. J. McMillan, super
intendent of the Presbyterian missions in
Utah, Idaho and Montana, an interesting let
ter respecting affairs in Utah. The greater
part of this letter is given below:
In reply to your inquiries respecting affairs
in Utah, I shall state only what I know to be
facts, and of which I can furnish abundant
proof. While the school laws of Utah ex
ptc.—ly forbid the use of public school funds
for the support of sectarian or denomina
tional schools of any kind, it is a well known
fact that the book of Mormon and the Mormon
catechism are used as text books, and children
are required to use them as such under
penalty of expulsion from school. 1 know of
cases where children were expelled according
ly for no other offense than refusal to study
and recite lessons from those books. It is an
equally well known fact that no teachers can
obtain employment in those schools except
they arc members of the Mormon church pay
ing tithfe regularly. I know of several non-
Mormon teachers of experience and acknowl
edged qualifications superior to any Mormon
teachers who applied fur employment in the
publis schools and wero rejected on the sole
ground that they were not Mormons. In one
case a non Mormon teacher of a private school
—the only school in the town where she was
teaching—received for a time a portion of the
public school fund, but the fund was after-
ward withheld because she would not join the.
church, though at the time she held
a first-grade certificate of qualifica
tions from the county board of exam
iners and was teaching to the entire satisfac
tion of all and in the only schoolliousc in the
town. The ptilliic school fund is a territorial
appropriation of ahonj. three dollars per an
num per capita of the actual attendance at
school. The remainder of the teacher’s sal
ary is collected as tuition from patrons. Cer
tificates of qualifications ore required by law
to lie hold by all teachers receiving any part
of the public school fund; but it is a notori
ous fact that in at least two counties in Utah
the only teachers holding sucli certificates
. wore- non-Mormons, who were teaching com
mon schools and receiving only such tuition
as they could collect, while Mormon teachers
who held no such certificates, but who paid
tithes to the church, and taught tuc Book of
Mormon and the catechism, received all the
public school funds, estimated upon the at
tendance of all the schools, Mor
mon and Gentile. Dishops In the several
towns in those counties announced publicly
from their pulpits that those who attended
schools taught by Mormon teachers would
get a double benefit of the public fund (i. c.,
per scholar), while those who attended the
other schools would get nothing. And, fur
thermore, the bishops compel parents, under
severe penalties, to patronize the imerior
Mormon teachers. Even they would gladly
pay the entire tuition for the superior instruc
tion of the non-Mormon teacher. Much more
might be said of abuse in school matters. Hut
this is perhaps enough. The rret may be in
ferred from the fact that John Taylor, the
“Prophet, Seer and ltevclator'' of the church,
is the sujicrintcndeut of public instruction
for the territory.
TUB RIGHTS OK TIIK CHURCH
The Mormon church asserts its right to con
trol all tem]»oral affairs. All causes, civil,
criminal and ecclesiastical, are to be brought
alike before the bishop’s court, with right of
appeal to the high council of the church,
where all justice terminates. These are not
courts of rocord. Cases arc simply brought
up for trial; the case is stated, and the presid
ing priest pronounces judgment and enforces
penalties arbitrmily. For example, a man
attempted to enter a piece of land without
asking the bishop’spennission. This enraged
the bishop, who at once appointed one of his
fuitlilul lieuehmen to build and occupy a
house upon the same land. A dispute arose
between the two claimants, and tuc bishop
compelled both to appear before him. He
decided the case at once against the lawful
claimant, “cut him off from the church” and
“turned him over to the buffetings of safari
—which meant social ostracism and starvation
for want of means of livelihood. In this pi
ticular case, the man so foully wronged had
the courage to appeal to the land nllice lor re
dress, and obtained it. Whereupon the bishop
on tho Sabbath morning succeeding,
publicly said: “Brother lias shown
himself to be an enemy to this
people by ignoring the priesthood and
entering Innu as tho Gentiles do. By the
powor of the holy priesthood which I pos
sess, I have cast him off and turned him
over to the buffetings of satin, and I pro
nounce the curse of the Almighty upon
him. His crops shall wither away and his
land shall not yield her increase, and lie
shall starve to death unless he repents, gets
baptized again to wasli away the sin of
his rebellion, nays up his tithing and comes
rdo
lOD,
ads.
and kegs pardon; and none of the saints
are to show him any countenance or favor
until he repents.” Then the water-master
of the community, who is appointed by the
mayor (who is generally ttie bishop) was
instructed to allow that man no water to
iirigate his land. And as nothing can l>e
raised from the soil without iirigation, the
curse of "withered crops” and “starvation,’
etc., was fully experienced. For the sake of
his suffering'and starving family, the man
S ave up his land, was rebaptized, asked par-
on of the priests and bowed liis neck to
the yoke in silence. Any number of such
cases can lie easily produced. The water-
master is a mere thumbscrew for the bislio
and the destiny of every crop is in his ban
ANOTHKR FRAUD.
Another fraud perpetrated upon the people
of Utah is the manner in which they have
been compelled to hold their lands.- Brigham
Young declared that he had received the
right and title to all Utah direct from God,
and no power on earth had any right to grant
a title. When the towns were located, how
ever, the sales were regularly entered, but
charters were granted by the legislature so
extravagantly enlarging the boundaries of the
so called "cities” that they covered ail the
valleys and left no laud worth having beyond
their limits. Tiien definite bounds were
fixed to the lands allowed to be cultivated.
These lands were divided into small parcels
of three and five acres each, and “church-
deeds” were given to each purchaser. All
land marks established by the government
surveying were destroyed by command of the
Mormon authorities, as it was held to be an
insult for the Babylonist government to in
trude upon their sacred soil. The power,
therefore, exercised over the people was ab
solute. For withholding tithes from the
church or other offenses of so grave a nature
the “deoil” to farming land could he re
voked and the poor lellow would have no re
dress hut penitence. For lesser offenses water
could he withheld. Brigham Young declared
"that all governments on earth shall go down
before their Kingdom of God, and no Latter
Day tsaint must ever recognize any other au
thority on earth. If any one appeals to those
miserable scoundrels called Judges that the
Babylonist government at Washington has
t here, he is an enemy of this people and
will be treated as such.” The penalties for
voting contrary to “counsel.” the non-pay
ment of tithes, patronizing a Gentile school,
trading at other than the Church store, or i
any way aiding or showing countenance to
non-Mormon, are terrible ever since the days
of blood atonement. Social ostracism means
much more than mere solitude among former
jriends. It means to be regarded as a felon,
and to he left to starve without possible means
of earning a livelihood.
THE OPPRESSION USED.
‘One man well known in Uthali once said
to me: “I have long since lost all faith in
Mormonism, hut if I let the bishop know it
J1 lose my land and reduce my family to
starvation.” Said another man to me: “I
haven't the courage to act upon my own con
victions. I am compelled to vote a lie at
every election and live a lie all the time, but
if the government would only step in and
separate me and my wives and make it possi
ble for us to live like civilized people we
ould be happy. And there is many another
man in my fix.” A young Mormon a few
months ago sold me a house and lot. He was
‘mmediately called before the bishop to
answer for the crime of befriending a non-
Mormon. He was publicly denounced as an
enemy to bis people, “cut off” and "turned
over to the buffettings of Satan,” with the
usual curses attending. Another, whose
views are undergoing material changes, was,'
for a similar offense, driven by necessity from
home and his family’, and compelled to seek
employment forty miles away,whereas before
his trading with a Gentile he was in comfort-
ble circumstances.
CRIMES COMMITTED.
On the other hand, crimes of theft and mur
der and outrages too numerous to specify
here have been committed by Mormons in
good and regular standing without their being
subjected even to arrest, much less trial. Two
years ago a Gentile was shot down by two
Mormon policemen without just cause or
revocation in broad daylight, and they were
never required even to suspend official duties.
The insecurity of certain other rights is mani
fest in the fact that there is no marriage law.
Marriages are performed by bishops, justices
of the peace, judges of probate and other
courts and ministers of the gospel, but there
is no record or certificate either required or
provided for. In many cases it would be im
possible to prove marriage, even where bigamy
or polygamy does not exist. In some case's
marriage is merely by mutual consent of the
ontracting parties As there is no law
against lascivious cohabitation and no legal
difference between that and the true marriage
relation, the ties that bind husband and
ife are neither safe nor sacred.
There is neither law or healthful sentiment
against incestuous alliances, so that revolting
crimes against nature, decency and the ordi
nary laws regulating civilized communities
are of common occurrence, and our polyga
mous legislature refuses to provide any rem
edy.
Much more might be written, but I shall
not weary you further. If you desire specifi
cations under any or all the alleged irregulari
ties I am prepared to furnish them. Could
the honorable members of congress fully re
alize the situation in Utah, I am confident
that not one would withhold either vote or
voice or inlluence from any constitutional
measure that would regulate existing evils
and release the paralyzing grasp which Mor-
monism lias upon every enterprise, for the so
cial purity and material prosperity of this
land of marvellous resources. We have here
sturdy elements, native and foreign born,
who might become a prosperous and happy
people if their rights and privileges were
properly controlled by law.
Cotton Must„Go Up.
From the Globe-Democrat.
A cotton bull speaking of the prospects yes
terday said: “Time will tell that the southern
man was right about the crop and that he was
also correct in his anticipations of a high
price. Unfortunately for the south it was not
question of supply and demand, it was one
of money, and when their margins were ex
hausted they had to let go. There is nowagood
demand for spinners and cotton has now
reached strong hands, and they can bring the
nice up or down as they see fit. It is to their
icnefit to put up the price, as they are holders
of spot cotton as well as futures. Extreme
high prices will be seen before six weeks, as I
understand two of the largest houses in New
York—Woodward & Stillman and Lehman
Bros.—are now on the bull side, and are
taking all the cotton that is unloaded on the
market. The crop will be 5,400,000 bales,
and with another short crop in prospective,
we are going to have a big boom.”
Grant Snubbed.
Special to the St. Louis Republican.
Washington, March 27.—A stout gentle
man with close-cropped grayish beard, step
ped into the senate lobby this afternoon, and
was about to enter the chamber when lie was
stopped by a doorkeeper. “You can’t go in
here," said the doorkeeper. “I would like
to see Senator Windom,” said the stout gen
tleman, quietly. “You'll have to send your
card in. ’ The stout gentleman dropped his
head a moment and tiien took from his card
case a card, which he handed to the door
keeper. On the card was written the nameU.
S. Grant. Even then the doorkeeper did not
recognize the ex-president nor his name.
Wait here,” said he officiously, “and I’ll
send your card in.” General Grant waited
and looked at the man who neither knew U.
Grant by sight nor by name. Senator
Windom subsequently had a warm word to
say to this doorkeeper.

Washington Correspondence Monroe Advertiser
The London News and the New York Tribune
and the Critic of this country have been indulging
in some criticisms upon a malitia drill, in which
the description given by Judge Longstreet in the
Georgia Scenes lias come in fora full share of praise.
It is pleasant to a Georgian to see the favor that
this book has received from the civilized world. It
is one of the great immortal books. I have often
seen it stated in print, and heard it in conversa
tion, that Judge Longstreet prepared for publica
tion a second volume of Georgia Scenes, but that
some of his Methodist brethren persuaded him that
such things were beneath the dignity of a minister
of the gospel, and he destrojed the manuscript.
This is untrue. His daughter, who married Sena
tor L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, told
me that her father never wrote a word in his
life that he was ashamed of—that he had written

It is reported that ex-Senator Dorsey has
sold his ranches, ranges and brand in Colfax county
to an eastern company for about 3600,000 or $700,-

Mr. Edwin Booth has made another large
purchase of land on Indian avenue, at Newport.
The lot includes about about six and a quarter
acres and commands a fine view of the ocean.
In addition to liis other gifts to the Long

M. Rouzeacd, the husband of Madame
Nilsson, died, it is said, intestate. That part of
Madame Nilsson's fortune, therefore, which was
deposited in the bank in his name will, according
to French law, be divided with her husband's
family.
Miss Frances E. Willard and Miss Anna
Gordon, her secretary, have returned to the north
after nearly three months in seven of the southern
states. Important temperance duties in Illinois
and iowa shortened their trip, but they will return
in the fall. Mrs. Saliie F. Chapin is in Georgia at
work for temperauce.
Among the last signatures of the poet Long
fellow was the one which he affixed to his portrait
engraved by Marshall. There were 1,025 impres
sions taken from the plate before it was destroyed,
and of these Longfellow signed 1.011, putting his
name to the last one a week ago last Tuesday, on
which day he wrote to the publishers of the pic
ture, Barrie & Co., of Philadelphia, the almost pro
phetic words, “My task is done.”
CONGRESS WATER AND POLITICS.
From the Jacksonville Times.
Old Si was out of sorts yesterday.
“1 don't feel well,” said he—“my liver is kinder

A gentleman standing near said:
“You had better take some Congress water.”
“Congriss—I thot hit run by gas an’ lieker.”
“No; I mean water.”
"So you era candidate.”
“No!”
“ ’Kase why, I was goin’ ter tell yer dit water
don’t make no votes in dis preciiick—hits nigger
and lieker all 'round, and ef yer wanter be 'lected
to ennything, de bes’ way ter git dar is ter buy en

Zanesville, Ohio, March 27.—D. W. Caldwell,
arrived ,in the city Saturday evening "and
spent the Sabbath with his aged mother. Speaking
of his resignation as general manager of the X'enu-
sylvania company’s leased lines, to take effect
April 1st. he said that he was offered situations
elsewhere that would pay a better salary and give
him less work and care, but above these advanta
ges were his feelings and desire (•’horaesiek..ess, if
you please") to live among his friends. Having
spent the greater part of his life iu Central Ohio
and western cities, he had a large circle of ac
quaintances and a great many warm friends in
this section. At Pittsburg he was a comparative
stranger, and the feeling that came over him at
times to be back again among his old friends
could not be successfully overcome. Hence the
resignation.
Queer Arraignment of the Republicans
. New York Globe, edited by colored men.
We charge the republican party with gross igno
rance and folly: 1 In the reconstruction of the
south. 2. With bad faith, in placing at the head of
the reconstruction governments men without honor
in their own country and without brains, farther
than rash, unscrupulous cunning. 3. In that they
exposed the freedmeu to the duplicity and avarice
of reputed friends, and to the unrelenting and
murderous hatred of their foes, we hold them to
rigid account for the mi-government and dishonor
wnich crowned the efforts of their trusted agents,
the white office-holders.

BROWS’S IRON BITTERS.
PLAIN
TRUTHS
The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Brown’s Iron Bitters will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi
tively not injurious.

# Gents:—Upon the recommenda
tion of a friend I tried Brown’s
Iron Bitters as a tonic and re
storative for my daughter, whom
I was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care of
eminent physicians, I was loth to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before ray daugh
ter had taken one bottle of Brown’s
Iron Bitters, she began ta mend
and now is quite restored to former
heakh. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said “Tonics were re
quired;” and when informed that
the elder sister was taking Brown's
Iron Bitters, responded “that is
a good tonic, take it.”

Brown’s Iron Bitters effectual
ly cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Weakness, and renders the greatest
relief and benefit to persons suffering
front such wasting diseases as Con
sumption, Kidney Complaints, etc.
