PRESIDENT GEORGE Q. CANNON presen-
ted the general authorities of the church
to be voted on by the congregation.
They were all the same as sustained at
the last Conference, with the exceptions
that Elder John Morgan was chosen to
be one of the first presidents of Seven
ties, and Elder John Q. Cannon as sec
ond counselor to the presiding bishop
APOSTLE BRIGHAM YOU'VE spoke, say
ing he had listened with pleasure to the
remarks of his brethren made in the
morning. One Subject-that of the
training of children-had made an i'm
preston upon him, and he would touch
upon it for few moments. The youth
OF to-day were given too many liberties,
and as consequence they were run
ming wild. They should be restrained
and instructed. Many of them might
be seen on Sunday going off on hunting
expeditions and visiting questionable
places, while their parents were at the
Tabernacle; it was good to attend meet
ing, bat it would also be good to know
where the children were and what they
were doing. Young people like streams
would be handled and controlled best
when they were small, and if allowed TO
grow they soon get beyond control. 1t
is the duty of the people to raise up a
righteous community; it is duty they
owe to their father and God. The
speaker said it was wrong for a man to
tell his son it was right to build up the
kingdom of God and then transgreSs
himself In travelling Elder Young had
noticed, with regard to trading, that a
number of people preached one thing
and praeticed another; they neglected
to support home industry and gave
their money to those who were anxious

ufactures we're being sighted, while
made miIlionaires. Factories were
working on half time while outsiders
were fattenIng and fourishing. He de-
sired reform in this particular and sup
port given to Utah industries; in doing
this the people would support them
selves. In conclusion, he said let US
learn who are are our friends and treat
them well; let all help to build up Zion
and aid in the growth of the kingdom.
APOSTLE NOSES THATCHER was the
next speaker. He had been induced. by
to the remarks of the previous
speakers, to say a few words on the
subject of those who are here to labor
and have no labor TO perform. The
subject was worth consideration. Elders
were sent from Utah, they make con-
verts abroad, these are immIgrated here,
but as soon as they arrive the elders
seem to think their obligations are
ended. 1t has frequently happened
that some who are able and willing to
work were left for months without en-
ployment, and no man wishes to be ted
from the hand of charity when he has
trade to earn it at. It had been said
said. when YOU extend to a man that
which he can procure for himself, YOU
do him an injury" There were many
in Utah's four largest cities who were
good artisans; they had been advised to
60 to farming; they knew little of that
industry, but were excellent mechanics.
The question of labor and capital here
itself. There were millionaires
who paid no taxes upon much OF their
property-they were being paid by those
who earned their bread by the sweat of
their brow, and this condition of things
was giving rise to Socialism, Nihillsm.
Fenianism and tradeS-union combina-
tons to combat capital. The encroach-
ments OF capital upon the rights OF labor
formed one of the questions of the age.
The Saints had gathered into the noun
tains, and if they could not live as they
would ike, they could live so as to say,
= If I live for myself let me also advance
the people of God" It was gratifying
to him to hear the report of the z: G.
