this he knew not soul in the city,
and had many misgivings as TO

under q burden of over q hundred

visited gave him no encouragement

"get on" by working q week for his

where he has been since last July with

An Indian sergeant and three Indian
privates were sent there from the Eighth

Lieut.. tombstone to assist in this work, but
the Indians seem to be very slow to take
on. They Gre suspicious and the Indian
company from the Sixteenth will probably

Secret Societies.

Secret society circles are interested in
the formation Of a new order in this city,
that is new for Salt Lake. 1t is called
1.-THE ORDER OF THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM"
Mr.. John L. L. Chauncey is the moving
spirit in the establishment OF a lodge here.
He has been appointed Eminent Grand
Commander for the territory of Utah. A
sufficient number of members has been en-
rolled to obtain charter from the Grand
Commandery of North America and said
charter has been applied for and is eX-
pected to arrive in few days. The object
and aims of this order are kindred to those
of most other secret societies, viz: to unite
in social and fraternal bonds men and
women of good character, TO practice fra
ternal charity by kindly offices, to afford
material relief to members in distress, and
to assist each other in business
or professional lines. There is
also life insurance annex
An UNIQUE feature Of the organization is
that it admits women on an equal footing
with men, entrusts them with all the sec
rets and makes them ellglOle 10 nolo any
office in the order.
The laws also provide that membership
cannot be taken away for inability or
neglect to pay lodge dues. Members in
arrears are debgrred from holding office,
spesking or voting, also from receiving
pecuniary benefits, but they may visit
their own or any other lodge and are en-
titled to all the social privileges and frater-
nal protection OF the order. A meeting of
the society will be held at Plumbsr's hall
on Sunday, November s. Ladies must
have attained the age OF sixteen and gentle
men eighteen years to be eligible for mem
bership.
The order Of the "Star of Bethlehem" is
o. very ancient date. 1t originated during
the first century of the Christian era.
The exact date is unknown, as all records
prior TO the thirteenth century have been
destroyed. Ii is a society which grew out
of one of the churches founded by the
apostles. In the thirteenth century it was
an order of monks known as 'Bethlehe-
mites 1t was closely connected with the
Church OF the Nativity built in $50 A. D.,
where a star is inlaid In the marble floor in
symbol of the star that shone over Bethle-
hem at the nativity of the Savior
The order was introduced into England
in 1857, where it became very powerful and

true, is protected by noun tains, but if this
barrier is the cause of her freedom, why is
the Tyrol a vassal statel If Mr.. Utter
will examine history with view to this
subject, he will find that after all the men
and not the oceansior mountains fix the des-
tiny of nations. William Tell and Arnold
Winkleried offered greater obstacles to
tyrants than the Alps; Simon De Mont
fort and the magma charta did more to
protect England than the tempestuous
channel, and our own history is replete
with evidences that the Atlantic is not de-
fence of our institutions.
I
Neither does the truth justify DR.. Utter's
endorsement of Francis Parkman's asser-
ton that universal suffrage is failure.
When the people of the United States
come to believe with the Unitarian minis
ter that the exclusion of the workingman
from the right of suffrage is blessing
then will the doom of our liberty be near,
despite our isolation and natural protec
ton. Speaking of Rhode Island, Mr.. Ut
ter said: with her limited area and
great manufacturing cities, the land own
ers would be in hopeless minority if all
the factory workers were allowed to vote
Would that be a misfortune! From Re-
publican point of view, perhaps.
Another mistake of DR.. Utter is his plea
for a graduation of votes. Hear him: "Now,
our government is a society in which, while
each citizen has a certain interest, some
have naturally much more than others, and
naturally must bear greater response
Dility. Where man has no interest in the
welfare of the nation, and feels none, he
will feel no responsibility, and if vote is
allowed him he is apt to use 1t in some
trivial and selfish way-apt to sell it, or
give it as some friend shall dictate.' Now,
how is a mans interest in government tc
be gagged, and when ascertained Is he who
has little TO cast but fraction of ballot
while he who has vital interest to cast
several? Is Mr.. Blaine, for instance, tt
have hundred votes while poor Johr
Brown who is engrossed in the work Of
earning his daily bread and cannot give hi:
attention to public affairs to be disfran-
chiseds That would not be Christian; Ger
tainly not American.
I
DR.. Utter is a most exemplary man
gifted, courageous and honest. He would
be q rare acquisition to any city, and ht
has already made his influence felt in Sal
Lake. But in the modified words Of
the nursery rhyme, when he is good, as he
is in every respect, he is very, very good
but in his politics he is horrid.
