REST FOR THE WEARY.

That able and sprightiy journal, the
Pittsburg Leader, under the head
REST for the Weary" editorially talks
of the rumored hegira Of the MOrmons
as If the suggested movement were
something more than the invention of
an imaginative newspaper writer. The
Leader regards the removal of the Nor
mons as a vindication of the peace pol
icy that has been advocated for the
solution of the problem" and goes on
to describe the valley of the Yaqui
river where the settlements are to be
made. 1t says the country is compare
lively wild, but is fertile and there the
Mormons will find a happy abiding
place. 1t goes on to detail what in its
opinion, has been the causes leading to
the retirement of the Saints from the
United States, these being 1.-The Gentiles
with their one-wife aims, pouring into
their midst and instilling INTO the
youth of the church, the hope and
strength of it, belief in Inonogamic
Doctrines the coming of the Pacific
railroad sixteen years ago, and later the
approach of the d. & r. G.; the putting
of the people into daily communication
with the millions of Americans to the
east and to the west; the abjuring of
the faith of the fathers by the youth;
the moral suasion of Gentle opinion,
and so on, All of which might be salts
factory if it were correct, but as it is all
false, from the proposed removal to
the causes that are peacefully leading
the people away, the Leader wastes its
words. As a matter of fact the Nor
mons entertain no idea of leav-
ing Utah, and are not going
to remove to Mexico or elsewhere:
we also believe it is true that the Nor
mons are firmer in their faith and more
closely united to-day than ever; that
the young men and women are as true
to the religion of their parents as at any
time in the history of the church, the
onslaughts made upon the people
within the past year or two having had
the effect of leading the youth to their
fathers and mothers for protection of
the latter, filial affection being quite as
pronounced here as elsewhere; it is GER
tain that the church. membership is
steadily increasing, and much faster
than the Gentle population which is
less to-day than it was fourteen years.
ago. $3.50.
The Leader editor must have been
misled by the silly twaddle about
an impossible removal of the
Saints, and starting wrong has
continued in error. The country should
understand that when the Mormons
cannot find peace and happiness in the
United States they can find them no |
where, and there will be no foolish ex-
periments i'll other countries.

OPERA PRICES.

The audience at the Theatre on Thurs
day evening plainly told the story of the
dull times and scarcity of money in the
city. 1t also told another truth that
should be needed by the managers of
amusement. Many of the faces that
are familiar to theatre-geers were alb
sent. Some staid away, not because
they couldn't afford to go, but for the
reason. that they regarded the price of
admission as too high, considering the
character OF the entertainment; but a
far larger number did not attend be-
cause they had not the money to pay
for admission. They could have found
a dollar or dollar and half; they do
find the dollar quite often for theTheatre,
but they couldn't get the three dollars,
hence their seats were vacant. We do
not say the So or IS ticket for Italian
opera by Her Majesty's Company is too
much; the gallant Colonel Mapleson
may even lose money by admitting
people at either of those figures; but we
do say that the price is too high for Salt
Lake in these times, whatever may be
the grandeur of the performance or the
fame of the singers It is true that
New York, Chicago, st. Louis and San
Francisco pay $5 for what was sold here
at So, but that circumstances cannot
properly be taken into consideration.
Taose are large cities with hundreds of
thousands of people among whom there
are many rich persons, while Salt Lake is |
little more than village with remark
ably few inhabitants who are wealthy. |
In those the opera may be assured of |
drawing fair audiences if it is meritor-
ious, whatever the prices of admission;
in this city, at what would be called |
very low rates elsewhere, only moder- (
ate audiences as to size could be gotten |
together, for the reason that neither the |
people nor the money are here. Itmay |
cost the Colonel as much to present |
opera insSalt Lake as in San Francisco, |
yet he could hardly expect the audi |
ences here that he gets there, nor can |
he reasonably expect the money from |
a performance in this city that he de-
rives from one in the Pacific Coast
metropolis.
If the Colonel pays his singers the
same price for Salt Lake that he does |
for New York and San Francisco, heswill
be mostunfortunate whenItheysing here,
OF most lucky when they perform. there;
that is to say, he must lose money here,
or fairly coin it there.
The fact of the matter is, Salt Lake is
too small and too poor for high-priced
operas, and if Colonel Mapleson cannot
give Us good opera at low rates of ad
masterpieces in keeping with the size
of the town and the financial condition
of the music-loying people-he had let
ter not attempt to let us have opera at
all, and we will charge the disappoint-
ment to the location and silently sorrow
until the city reaches opera dimensions. /
But don't let US have high prices, small
audiences and swearing at the unmusi-
cal tastes of the people.

From the silence Of our people on
the subject of having Calcasieu repre-
sented at the Exposition, we are forced
to the conclusion that they are not
very much interested as to whether the
parish becomes prosperous or not. We
have one consolation, however, and
that is the Echo has performed its
duty 10 the premises.
