AN EXPECTED EXPOSURE. Bome of the Secrete of the Original Mormom Bible. DAVID WHITMER'S FIDELITY. How he Faithfally Guarded the Man- uscript From Carlous Eyes—Some —Queer Mormon Theories— Interesting Docaments, The demise of David Whitmer at Richmond, Mo., on the 25th of January last, says the New York Times, brings up many memories of-the Mormon bible which took its origin, or a part of it, at “Gold Bible Hill,” in the town ofy Man- chester, four miles from Palmyra, on the road to Canandaigua. Mr. \Vlnk mer was one of “The Three Witness who swore by everything that was holy that they saw an angel of God come down with the golden book, which Joseph Smith interpreted. Subsequntly all of these three men renounced Mor- monism and declared their testimony false. The Smith family came here from Vermont, which state at that time— about 1815—was very much stirred re- garding themysteries of the divining rod. The elder Joseph Smith did odd Jobs all about the neighborhood. The younger Joseph Smith (who was after- ward the founder of the Mormons) gave his assistance occasionally. One day. in September, 1819, Joe's father and brothers were engaged in digging a well for Mr. Clark Chase, and Joe was lounging about the work with some of Mr. Clark’s children when the stone which resembled the child’s foot, was thrown out of the well. The Chase children claimed the curiosity, as it was considered, but Joe od and retained it, subsequently claiming that by its use he was enabled to discover the where- abouts of stolen property, locate the place where treasure was buried and such like impostures until the alleged finding of the magic spectacles with the golden nook—the spectacles thencefor- ward taking the place of the stone. This small stone was the famous ‘‘peck stone” with which young Joseph Smith claimed miraculous powers. In akneel- ing posture, with a bandage on his eyes 80 luminous was the sight without it, with the stone in a large white stove- pipe hat, he saw thin, unutterably wonderful. He could reveal, full too well, the place where stolen pro vcr(.\ ur wandering flocks could be foun. )etaF ot gold storediaway by the Span- iards or Captain Kidd, coffers of gems, oriental treasures, the ‘“‘wealth of Ormus and of Ind” gleamed beneath the ground in adjacent fields and woodlands. Dig- ging became the order of the night and sleep that of the day. Fathers and brothers, decoyed neighbors, and all who could be hired by cider or strong drink were organized into a digging halanx. They sallied forth in the arkness. Solemn ceremonies prefaced the work. - Not a sod was disturbed by the spades, till Joe’s mystic wand, the witch hazel, guided by the sacved stone, pointed out the golden somewhere. En- tire silence was oue condition of success. ‘When hours had passed and the answer- ing thud on the priceless chest was about to strike the ear, some one in a rapture of expectance ulwa\s broke the spell by speaking, the riches were spir- ited away to another quarter,and the dlggmg must be resumed another night. is air of mystery prepared the way for greater pretentions on the part of Smith. Only a mile from the dwelling house of the Smith family was the farm of Alonzo Sanders, P’uvh included what is to-day known uq the Gold Bible Hill. To Joe Smith it was known as “‘the Hill Cumorah,” where the Angel Moroni announced to him the presence of the “Golden Plates,” giving an ac- count of the fate which attended the early inhabitants of America. With these plates would be found the only means by which they could be read, the wonderful spectacles known as the “Urim and Thummim.” Joe was not averse to such arevelation, for his hazel rod and his “‘peek stone” had already failed him. There had been various religious awakenings in_the neighbor- hood, and when the various sects begin to guarrel over the converts Joe arose and announced that his mission was to restore the true priesthood. He ap- pointed a iumber of meetings, butno one seemed inclined to follow him as the leader of the new religiou. In Sep- tember, 1823, an angel appeared to him., forgave his many lapses from grace, and announced the golden plates. These plates, however, were not found for several years. In the meantime Joe Smith had been absent at Susquehanna and other places to work upon the re- ligious side of his assertions. The time having come to secure the treasure, Smith returned to Palmyra and commenced to dig for the golden plates. The late William Van Camp, of Lyons, told the writer that s . boy at the time he heard that one night the spades struck a strong box. Thunder and lightning followed. The box sank deeper, and Smith explained the loss by the lack of faith on the part of the d gers, At last the plates were secured on the mght of September 22, 1826, the prophot reluting that he had been hit ard by the chief devil, who wished to have the plates remain concealed, Of the three witnesses named above Mar- tin Harris came back to this vicinity and died here; Oliver Cowdery moved to Missouri with the Mormons and was expelled, and Duvid Whitmer aban- doned them to their fate. Time would fail us to give many of the details of the alleged translation of the plates in the small farmhouse in Busquehanna. No one about here had any faith in the book, Clark Chase even . refusing to make a box in wh the filp\ua might be transported to Susque- anna, his prospective pay being in the profits of the book, _So Smith hid them n a bag of beans and took them over to Susquehanna on horseback. The translation from the plates was a matter of several weeks, fartin Harris, of Palmyra, furnished the money for the work. When it was done Joe Smith and the three witnesses brought the tranla- tion here. At thattime—from Septem- ber, 1829, to March, 1830--Mr. Van Camp (quoted nbu\,e{ and Major John H. Gilbert, were working in the office of the Wnyne Sentinel, I, B. Grandin, roprietor. l)urmg these months **The Ylook of Mormons” was in process of printing. The office was in the third 'y ol uhul]ding now known as the Cxchange Row,” in the principal street of Palmyra. The foreman was Mr. 'Pomeroy Tucker, who afterward published a work on Mormonism. Major Gilbert was a compositor and also a dancing-master. 1is duties in the lat- ter \,ullmg took him away from “his “ease” so fregently that Van Camp “dis- tributed” in order togive him a chane towork the next day. The ‘‘copy” was on ruled paper-—an expensive thing in thoso days—and the letters were so closely crowded that words like ‘“‘and” or “the” were divided at tho end of the line. The copy was in Cowdery’s hand- wrmng but it was produced from a xhlly-\:uuoned coat every morning by Hyrum Smith. One day’s suoply only was given at a time, and this was taken away at night. Ther no mark of punctuation in the co) 0 sore (nl\l to both Tuc ker and Gilbert in “reading proof.” At such times Cowdery oceasionally “hold the copy. In the absence of Cowdery the proofreader often resorted to the or- thodox bible to verify some, foggy pas- sage. The ‘“‘matter” was ‘paged’ that thirty-two pages could be ,»n..u»d at a time on_one of Hoi's “‘Smith” six- column hand presses. After the sheets had been run throughonce and properly dried, they were reversed and printed on 1hn other sid The bookbinder than folded them by hand and severed them with an ivory paper cutter. The result was that the 2,500 large sheets made 5,00 small sheet witn sixteen pages printed an each side. 1t seems to be very well settled, both from direct and circumstantial evidence, that the alleged translation was adapted,if not more closely copied, hmn a book entitled *"The Manuscript Fune,” which had been written by a roving minister named Solomon 'wpnulum;.,r and which he had tried in vain to have pub- lished, This manuseript was in & print- ing office at Pittsburg for several months, and was readily accessible to Sidney Rigdon, who was engaged in the translation and in the subsequent spread of Mormonism, Rigdon afterward be- came an apostate, and died i Friend- ship, Allegany county, a few years ago. The original manuseript of Spaulding’s work was lost for many years; but in 1886 it was discovered in the Sandwich Islands, and it is now in the library of Hieam college, in Ohio. But what hecame of the original manuseript of the Mormon bible? This is where David Whitmer becomes of interest. There were, years ago, ru- mors that he had these pages in his possession, and the writer sent to him a plain inquiry, which brought back this answer: Ricnyoxn, Mo., Dec, 27, 1870, Dear Sir: In reply to your inquiry can say that I amone of the witnesses referred to am yet alive. 1 have in my possession the original manu- scripts referr and they are in a perfect state of preservation, and 1 know of what I speak, Yours truly, etc., Davio WHITMER. Some months later the following came from a member of the family: David Whitmer requests me to say to you that it is not wisdom in him to grant your re- quest at this time to have a page of the original manuscript photographed, eto. If granted, he would be called upon by others, perhaps in the same way, and it might lead to much aunnoyance, if nothing more. They are in his possession in a good state of preservation, and have been seen by many of our citizens, including lawyers, doctors, professors of learning, edito and preachers of various denominations. e regards his as a sacred trust, and we feel curious to know the import of your article, as well as the character of the illust on, if any is in- tended. Of course, he could not comply under any circumstances without knowing what would accompany the insertion of the photograph. It is known that Mr. Whitmer was dared by the Mormons to produce the manuseript; also that he was threatened if he did not produce it. To neither of these hostile actions did he ever pay the slightest heed. It is the universal opinion that only part of the manuscript ever found its way into print as part of the Mormon Bible. Therefore the ex- posure of the whole manuscript to the world is an event that is looked forward to with the greatest interest by all those who have made the Mormons and their doings a matter of study and investiga- tion. There may be much in the pages now about to see the light which will explain some of the early record of the Mormons by furnishing the links that are missing, and by reconciling u.m- mony that 3§ conflicting. The result of the exposure, therefore, cannot but be beneficial all round. ——— Gout has various names according to the parts affected, as podagra, when in the feet; chiragra, when in the hands, &e.; but whether the attack is first felt 1 the feet or the hands,rub with Salva- tion Oil at once.

Boston Journal: Tt has been a ques- tion frequently present in the minds of many &s to what is the future of the negro population in the industrial econ- omy of the southern stat Is it to be confined to agricultural pursuits and to those occupations requiring little mental energy or mechanical aptitude? To presume that such is to be the cuse at once presupposes that the negrois in- capablé of a higher order of intelli- gence, which would not be & safe as- sumption, with the limited opportunities he has had during the comparatively short period that marks the great trans: formation in his condition from servi tude to freedom. The effects of his former state of bondage still linger in his surroundings, which alone are enough to humiliate his social circum- stance to a lower caste than that be- longing to the white man. But this caste demarcation will probably always exist, till the intellect of the negro as- serts itselt equal to that of the white man, which is beyond the probability of things. The negro labor question is becoming or will soon become & very momentous one for the south to solve. It cannot be supposed that the agricultural or even menial vocations are wholly to absorb the negro labor in the south. The query, then, is immediately directed to what profitable use can be made of this class of people in the mechanical occu- pations that are so rapidly engaging the capital and attention of the south? Cer- tainly something will have to be done to resolve this into a pmuuunbllny suitable to future circumstances. "'he negro is not going to emigrate from the warm climate that is so congenial to his nature, or to a land for which he has no fondness in the way of tradition or fan- cy. He isa fixture in the social status of the south,and as such he must be taken care of, if he does not take care of himself. There he is, and whether or not he is a desirable competitor with the whiteman, he is destined to work his way into the factory in some capac ity or other, and rather than that he should go in budly equipped, his cupa- bilities should be studiod and intelli- gently diveoted to a future usefulness. The southern textile mills will, in time, be more or less dependent on negro help, however earnestly this condition may be fought against. The native white population that now seek the fac- tory will find their ocoupation uncon- genial bdv the side of the negro opera- tive, and other pursuits will be taken up. This has been the case in a not un- like manner in the factory history uf New England, of the native born be supplanted by the foi degredation influincing the change in either case, though in New England there huve not been the strong ele- ments of caste and color to contend with, 1f the negro population of the south showed a recession instead of an acces- aion from year to year, theve would be no necessary forebodings eouceruing | white and black competition in wlmfi, the labor of the latter shall surplant ! that of the former in the ordinary duties of mill work, But statistics seem l THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, MARCH 19, 1888, to demonstrate 1t to be a fact that the negro po ulation ie increasing with a rapidstrides as the white population. In the decade {rom 1870 to 1880 the white population of the United States, includ- ing foreign born, increased 29 per cent, while the colored or black pnpulnl,l(mA all native born—incrensed over 34 per cent. The increase in the latter in- stance was a natural one, and was with- out foreign accessions, and confined chiefly to the southern states, The rercenm‘go of increase was a little over 1 per cent in the colored population between 1860 and 1870, but the disturb- ing political causes of that period can easily account for this slight augmenta- tion.” There is no evidence fo show otherwise than that the rcll\tl\(‘ growth of the colored population is as great now as it was from 1870 to 1880, and such l)fimg the case it is with ln the natural course of events for the negro to assert a position in the factory oper- ations of the south which is now re- tained by the native white, who in turn will seek other fields of labor where the color is not in question. — - Every person is interested in their own affairs, and if this meets the eye of any one who is suffering from the effects of a torpid liver, we will admit that he is interested in xc'hmz well, Get a bottie of Prickly Ash Bitters, use it as directed, and you will always be glad you read this item. ——— Germans in France and Enalan. Chicago News: [ should think it would fill the Parisians with a sense of respect for German administrative genius to see their finest hotels under German management. The (,onhn'.‘nllll is the hotel palace of the city. It is the scene of the best social events, military fetes and banquets. Its German man- ager isa mun whose like one does not meet every day—another Sam Turner with a dozen tongues. Given 500 guests in the house he never slips a name or forgets a face, When trade in language isdull he amuses himself by running over the schedules of his floor dingrams in all the accents from Turkish to Chi- nook. This is training. Once a Ger- man gets hold of anything he never lets go. Theservice rooms on the several floors are run by German waiters. Peer into one of them at any hour of the day or night, and there sit two or three young men in full dress gravely teach- ing one another foreign idiomsor ac- cents, or studiously poring over a gram- mar—not German. Search around among the servants for French natives, and the few found are carrying vessels, mopping floors and making beds— women __ This is equally true of most of the leading hotels, where any language save French is spoken, and even in the strictly French hotels the porter and interpreters are usually German. The Frenchman, content to regard his own as the only language worth speaking, is less cosmopolitan than the German. The penalty of his egotism is pain to every one but himself. There is something more than mere drift in the flprcudln% out of the German family. They have discovered the po- tency of ‘their cheese-paring superior- ity. ~ Away from theirown country they they are mnot found grubbing or beg- ging. A tax-devouring despotism has faught them frugality, until every- where abroad, among the loose and generous nntmnb they have become quiet money savers. In not many gen- erations to come they will have per- meated every prosperous people in the world. It is rather comical to hear the high howl Englishmen raise over their peaceful invasion of London. There are more than fifty thousand Germans in London, living cheaply and hoard- ing their shillings. They dig no sewers and break no stones, either. Hotels, restaurants and counting houses are their havens. This reminds me that the celebrated “American bar” of Paris, in the Chat- ham, is conducted by a crowd of young Germans who never got further west than England. They are a success, for if there is ono thing a German can do better than another i is to keep bar.
