UTAH TERRITORY.


 Recommendations Contained In Governor
 Interior-The Church Paramount with
 the Mormons, and all Antf-Polygomous
 Uttcranccs simply Delusive.
 WASHINGTON Oct 4--Arthur L. Thomas, the Governor of Utah Terri tory, in his annual report to Secretary Noble, recommends that the unoccu- pied public lands be sold and the pro- ceeds devoted to the improvement of the water supply, or as an endowment for the public schools; that the Legisla- tive Assembly be authorized to sell the school lands; that the bill reported by Senator Edmunds, from the Senate judiciary committee, authorizing the Governor to appoint certain county ofii- cers and providing for legislative re- apportionment be passed. This bill, the Governor states, if passed, will place the control of the twenty-five county governments in the hands of men loyal to the Government He furthor recommends that either the Cullom or Struble bills, now pending in Congress, be passed.
 The Governor says that the estimated population of the Territory is 220, 932-- an increase, since lsS0 of about fifty per cent The foreign-born population brought to the Territory under the auspices of the Mormons, from 1881 to 1889, were an average of about 1,S0C annually, and this average, he esti- mates, has probably been maintained during the past year.
 At the last municipal election in Salt Lake City, the Liberal ticket was elected, and for the first time in its history Salt Lake City passed from un- der Mormon control. He expresses the opinion that in spite of this victory, and also the one in Ogden, Mormon rule is by no means at an end, and that it will be many years before the Gentiles will be in the majority. He roiterates the opinion that the Mormon people are completely under the control of the priesthood, and that in every political and business act the church is put first and the country after. There is no occasion to believe, he thinks, that any other power can exact from the church any declaration opposed to polygamy The attitude of tho Mormon church, he asserts, in regard to polygamy. is de- lusiyo to the last degree. Itknows that there has been no change on tho sub ject, but it seeks to convey the impres sion that there has been
