The editor of the Western Spirit,
published at Paola, Kansas, has
tendered his paper lor a month to
Brigham R, Roberts, who waselcct
cd to Congress from Utah but was
not allowed to take his seat, "to be
edited as a Mormon would run it."
It is said Mr. Roberta will likely ac
cept, and that he will rip the United
States Congress up the back in a
way to make the ghosts of Brigham
Young and Joseph Smith crack a
smile that can be heard a mile.
