A ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHEME.

SINCE the days Of the great religious
awakening some three centuries ago,
the theological horizon was never
more cloudy and indlstinct than II Is
at the present time. The ferment and
commotion prevailing among the Pro-
teslant scots In this country nro some
thing entirely beyond the usual order
u church contentious and vestry dis.
orders. In addition to all this, There
are encycllcals from Rome, pastorals
ffon Catholic bishops aud political pro.
nunclamontoos from cardinals.
Only a few weeks ago II was reported
that the Vatican had In progress a
scheme for the special government Of
the American Catholic church. This
scheme embraced IA system OF govern.
mcnt by bishops appointed by Rome,
each to preside over district allotted
TO him. II originated with the Catho.
Hes Of Germany, Austria, Belgium and
switzerland, and was submitted to the
Vatican for approval. Nothing has
been heard about It since, but It may
safely DO concluded that II is under
consideration,
Later on extract. from an encycllcal
published by Leo XIII arrived here.
This document, written In Latin, was
officially entitled, ode Conditions
Ophencum, "that is,o the condition Of
the working man. Il was a carefully
wordod production, and wen calculated
to maintain stFadilo attitude on the
great questions which arc agitating
the political aud social atmospheros Of

ST. JOsEPH's THEOLOGICAL SEMI,
NARY.

JoHS CALVIN died on the eth Of
May, 1854, just 337 years ago. He was
born In the bosom Of the Roman Cath.
ollie church IN France. He came from
particularly ecclesiastical family;
even he himself held office IN the
church. He It was who virtually
founded Pr,sbyterianism. The West.
minister Confession was the outcome Of
his theological teachings. We are re.
minded Of these facts by tho present
condition Of religious affairs In Now
York City. This Union Theological
seminary and the whole Presbyterian
sect is torn up over this Westminster
Confession. The learned men Of both
the Institution and OF the denomina.
ton are In state Of disorder
On Sunday, the i7th inst, n Catho.
lie theological seminary was founded
at Workers, Just without the municipal
limits, which will cost 100000. II

Washington made his headquarters
from October 18th to eth, in l77G.
Tho corner stone was laid by Arch.
bishop Corrigan, assisted by 500 bishops
and priests and 10000 membors Of the
laity. The day In Now York was a
marked one. The actual number of
people who desired 10 be present on the
occasion could not even be estimated,

WHY
There are different answers to the
question. The real piy Is quite DIFF
icrcnt from the assumed why. | shall
give tho latter. II has boon because
the Mornons were unior the control OF
their priesthood; because they were
united; because they "eiuck TO-

them up, or scare them away.
Their unity was looked upon as a
proof that they were aliens. Indeed
this Is the argument o. the lribune to-
day. Their obedience 10 counsel WINS
taken as a demonstration that they are
"slaves."
There Is nothing In all that save the
fact tina, the men who have for forty
year been talking aud writing In this
manner against the Mormons never
meant what they said aud knew PER
fectly well they were lying all the

In theory, would not DO In keeping
with the pcfslstency with which he
usually follows up what appears 10 his
mind to be- proper. The people Of all
classes In Utah have learned TO view
Judge Zane with no small degree Of
respect. The reason IL obvious, the
community, NJ n rule, has come to be.
llovc he Is honest. That quality covers
a multitude u errors aud extremes,
even ia the eye. Of good people who
may have suffered from them.
Our Speaking thus Of Judge Zanc
may be- considered a material change
on our part. II may be par,ly - re.
garded, but not altogether. We have
never rccedci from the position thas In
the earlier portion Of his career the
Chief Justice was animated by
hn unwarmnted severity, which
led him to extremes that were
not natural 10 him. The antagonism
aroused In those who had good reason
10 object 10 such course was soflencd
by tho fact that there was perceptible
In his character q tendency which
tinted and Influenced his official
career throughou'-hls conception Of
his duty 10 support the government
against everything which he deemed
not conformahle 10 It. This trait prob.
ably led him 10 be partially blinded TO
conditions which demanded more con-
slientlon than he awarded them.
But the tendency Of Itself, when kept
within conservative bounds, Is most
excellent one. without II there Is no
patriotism.
Fortunately In the case Of the learned
gentleman now referred to, the exercise
u this disposition was not contracted
TO onc pha-c ~ the government. When
local governmental institutions have
been unJus,ly assaulted by "i.lberal"
agitators and dl-rup,ionists, 1t has been

rng SCHOOL BONDS QUESTION.


VIZ direct attention TO n letter, IN
another column, from our old friend

posed to education, nor to free schools,
nor To reasonable taxes for any proper
public purpose. But he appears 10 he
against tho Issuance Of the school
bonds proposed, and ho oilers some
good reasons for his position.
As 10 his INT contention that the
City Attorney ought not to have been
called on by the City Council for nm
opinion n the School District was not
an Integral part Of the Sal, Lake Cliy
municipality, we think Il II not con-
elusive. The matter was open TO DIS

Horns Must Go.

Horns on domestic cattle no longer serve
any useful purpose, and to one who views
beauty only in usefulness they are not even
beautiful Western farmers are now using
what is known as the Fugate machine for
dehorning mature animals. It Is done SO
quickly that there il no longer any objection
from cruelty in the process OF
getting rid of horns. The loss from main
tanning useless horns is not confined TO the
injury they do to stock, though that Is often
serious. There is always great danger to
and often loss Of life of attendants from
vicious animals. and especially from bulls.
Stoke Pogis III. was probably the most val
liable progenitor Of Jersey blood, but be-
coming vicious he was fattened aud sold for
beef before his value was fully known.
Had he been dehorned this valuable strain
Of Jersey blood would not be nearly 80
scGrco and dear as 1t is, and the improve
ment to American Jersey stock from few
more years Of service from Stoke Po2is Ill.
can scarcely be estimated. The dehorning
process has now been practiced long enough
to show that loss of horns does not injuTi-
ously affect animals either for fattening or
dairy purposes, nor does it lessen the valua-
bic characteristics transmitted to their
progency by dehorned bulls. 1t is likely In
deed that as horns are bred of cattle may
be bred free from the vicious propsnsities
that the constant use of horns must stamp
upon character, and thus transmit to future
descendants

Lucern in Hills.

B.F. g.: Yes. 1t is usually advised, and
generally observed, to sow lucern ia drills.
This is the better plan where it Is sown In
the spring, for the weeds will give it closer
race. and it will be profitable to cultivate
the crop during the first season, and also a
little the second year; but when sown at
the best time, to with October or early
November, it is far better TO SOW broadcast
and use liberal quantity of seed. On good
soil the lucern will get good start Of the
weeds and grass, and then with little help
will get well RI ed before the weeds can
injure it. Wherever the latter should take
hold close watch should be had
over them, and they should be-
pulled up before going to seed. Lucern
is one OF the easiest crops TO establish we
know Of. 1t is a mere matter Of good soil,
well prepared good seed and enough of it,
properly put in. Being perennial it must
De esteemed far above the ordinary clover,
for with good care it will continue to yield
several cuttings year-early and late, for
many yaarR
