I have no respect for proselytcrs in a Christian lan 1 who would seek to draw thoii converts from one Christian church to another and sow discord in a family. 1 was ruminating about this Mormonism, which is anothei child born of New England fan at ieism, where all the devilish (tilings originate. It is close akin to the doctrine of free love, that [ originated there half a century ago, and is now pretty generally accepted. If a mm doesn't find his nihility when he marries he finds her afterwards, and they keep on swapping around. doe Smith came from there and one day pretended to a find a Bible under a big stone. It was placed there by an angel and had golden leaves, and he was told to read it. for it was the last will ol God and lie must preacli it to the people. Ho copied the writing and was going to sell the gold. >)i11 the angel rebuked him and took the golden leaves away. Well, t hat man found tool * enough to start a new departure in re Iigion and because the ghod pen pie at home made tun of him, he and his followers moved to Perm sylvania, where he had more visions and dreams and the angel gave him a pair of magic spec tacles and a I rim and Thummim. and talked to him behind a cur tain, and John the Baptist visited him and gave him the Holy (ihost and the gift of prophecy and supernatural powers. From there he and his followers went to Palmyra, N. V., and had the "Book of Mormon" printed, and organ ized a church with thirty mem hers and Smith casted a devil out of a man named Knight. But Palmvra cot too hot f'm them and they moved to Kirtland Ohio, because the angel said so But Kirtland got too warm foi "If you scour the world you wil never tind a remedy equal to On< Minute Cough Cure," says Rditoi Fac.kler, of the Micanopy, Fla., "Hust ler."

Nauvoo grew rapidly and the saints soon numbered 1,500 men and elected Smith mayor ! and lieutenant general. In 1842 ' he was at the very height of his prosperity and took a hand in politics. In 1S4:> he had another revelation from the angel and | was advised to take some spirit ' ual wives. Accordingly he took i two married women, the wives of I Dr. Fostor and William Law, two of his chief supporters. Of course, i this raised a rumpus and Foster ' and Law started a newspaper against him and published the ' allidavits of sixteen women, who i rharped Smith and his head man, Kigdon, with impurity and immorality.

But these Mormons who are sojourning in our land declare that polygamy is now abolished and that they are not proselvting to that faith, though it was the faith of Abraham and Jacob and David and Solomon. Well, our people don't want such men fooling around their families and demor alizing weak men ami weaker women in every community. A moderate chastisement would have a sanitary influence on such tramps. Fanatics and tramps have their nursery in New England.
