OUR ISSUE TODAY.

The year 1891 thus far has been one in
which most people in trade have been in
clined to feel their way cautiously, and do
very little Growing. That newspapers, as
well as other business institutions, have
felt the pressure in the air, there is no use
denying. Consequently it is with a feeling
of very genuine and, we trust, pardonable
satisfaction, that The HERALD this morn
ing finds itself compelled to enlarge up TO
twenty page edition, to satisfy the de-
mands made upon it by the advertising
public. The sensation of turning out a
twenty-page edition is very agreeable
one. we are free to confess, and the main
part of the agreeableness is that the heavy
public patronage received all along the line
is proof that the people stand behind an
endeavor to print a progressive. bright,
and fully modern newspaper. All shades
and conditions Of men and schemes are rep
resented in our phalanx of business an,
nouncements to-day, and we commend
them ali to the great public for perusal,

TIE REINFORCEMENT.

1t cannot be possible that decent men
among the Liberals believe that this ter
ritory will be SO gerrymandered by the
members of the Utah commission, that the
Liberal party can, at our August election,
secure control of the territory. The Peo-
pies party has at least two out of three of
the legal voters Of the territory, while
measured by the standard of population
the disparity is even greater. What a
crime it would therefore be, if the men,
bers of the Utah commission in the exer-
else of the discretion vested in them by
the late Congress, should so far forget
the obligations of their oaths as
to cause one-third of the voters
representing one-ffth of the population to
gain control of the legislaturel
Such violation of the underlying prin-
ciple of popular government, the right of
the people to govern themselves, though
heiuous enough under any circumstances
would be dastardly under the condition of
affairs existing in this territory. 1t would
not mean simply that the majority of the
people would lose the few offices which
they now hold, and be deprived of the petty
emoIuments thereof, for the contest here
has never been merely a contest for the
spoils of political Office, but it means politi-
cal death to majority of the people of this
territory; it means, perhaps, reign of ter
ror, in which an irresponsible legislature
impelled by unreasoning hate will follow in
the footsteps of dishonored Idaho by dis
franchising American citizens for the crime

1t will, in all probability, be but few
years before the common sense of the Gen

object.
The day is not far distant, in fact ap

THOSE SIX SEATS.

The supreme court was in session the best
part of a week, and then adjourned two
weeks, so that the oft-delayed city council
election cases come in for another postpone
ment. They do not seem to have been
mentioned or thought of during the ses-
sion. 1t is conceded on all hands, and was
almost publicly admitted by one of the Lib
eral members who is holding down seat
belonging to some one else, that the Peo-
ples party members were rightfully
elected. Why they are not now regularly
installed is one of the things only lawyers
and judges can explain. If the thing were
reversed, and six Liberals were fighting
for six offices for which they had received a
majority of the votes. how long does any
one suppose the matter would have dragged
its slow length in the courts?

fix that sentence in his mind that the ad-
monitlon will be with him all the time. The
Democrats do not need votes, for these
they have in abundance; they do not
want for principles, for they now
have the best ever suggested for
human government. But they want
wisdom to be guided Alright, to be kept in
line of their principles and to avoid doing
anything to ALLEVIATE any of their follow
ing. In all elections Of late years when the
Democrats have been defeated it has been
through their own laundering. They have
not known how to use their own strength.
They have abused, not willfully but igno
rantly, their power, or they have foolishly
strayed after strange gods. 1t was General
GRANT, we believe, who said that the Dem
ocrats could be safely relied upon to make
mistakes at the right time.
Just now the party is in splendid condi-
ton. 1t has just won great victory and
the enemy is dazed and demoralized. The
people have gotten the idea that the De-
mocracy is their friend and is bent
on relieving the country from the bur-
dens which extravaganza, favoritism
and dishonesty in government have
put upon it. This popular impression will
continue unless the party shall do some
foolish thing to destroy it, and cause the
people to lose confidence in the Democrats
to live up to their principles.
We believe that the outcome Of the Pres
idential election next year will depend
almost entirely upon the conduct of the
House Of Representatives which will meet
in December. If the bills passed shall be
good ones, If the discussions shall be
marked by reason, and the deliberations
characterized by wisdom, it will not make
much difference which of the great Demo
Gratis shall pc nominated ;she will sweep the
country as no other candidate has ever
done, SO heartily sick are the people Of
high taxes, Of government protection tt
trusts, and of reckless and wicked extraYa
ganee in voting away the public money.

consists entirely in acquiring knowledge
concerning the things which we appreciate
through our senses; and that the inner
man is moulded by the hard and fierce pres
sure of circumstance, over which he has
generally no control, because he has never
learnt to know himself and the godlike
powers which he might use The true
science of man is based on the teaching that
he is septenary, or composed of seven basic
principles; theory which a contemporary
wishing to be witty-described as new,
but not true" Yet the system of thought
thus abruptly discredited is not new, but is
of immense antiquity. Man is therein
shown as being the subject and object of all
manifested nature, and as having knowl-
edge about himself which has been handed
down from the early dawn of sentient life

TheosophY.

It has often been said that Theosophy is
simply maze of theories, what we really
want being some simple but practical as
surance of the existence OK God and the
immortality of the soul. Skepticism on this
point is perhaps one of the chief difficulties
which modern thought has to overcome in
these days; DOR is this the only one, for we
worship God Of progress whose very life
depends on competition, and who-as the
apotheosis of blind unreasoning force
might be appropriately labelled 1.-THE sur
vlval of the fittest.n Yet nature does in
truth, work through unintelligent energy
which Is inherent in all matter, and lies at
the centre of all things as the inner reality
of existence; but then we say that man has
the proud prerogative OF guiding and regu
lating this resistless power; it is not for
him to play second to nature, but to correct
her: it is not for him to bow before the
wave which overwhelms the weak and
bears forward only the strong, but to sub
due its energy by intellect. And how is
lie to be rendered coherent if, while pro-
gress requires competition, the dignity of
man commands US to love our neighbor as
ourself?
Theosophy says that a true appreciation
of life in It's many sided phases is only TO be
found by studying the inner man; study
which it processes to have elevated into a
science. In each of US is to be found the
true explanation of the ''Why" and the
"How' of the world around US; and intro
spection guided by theosOphic methods, will
gradually disclose a world nndreamt of,
awaiting only the light of self conscious
ness to arouse it to real existence. Theos-
ophy, therefore, would change the direc-
ton Of the human mind from the study OF ex-
ternals alone to that Of the inner self. First
teaching men to know themselves, it would
only permit the Introduction of collateral
knowledge drawn from experience in the
outer world, as corroborative evidence OF
our progress in the divine knowledge of the
powers which lie within US. At present it
cannot be denied that modern education

THE BISHOP Of Huron, Canada, recently
made a somewhat fierce but foolish attack
on science. In speaking of the forces OPP
posed to Christianity, he said the greatest
piece of humbug was what was called mod
ern science, which frightened hundreds of
young people," 'All men like HUXLEY and
DARWIN were the dark blood of Satan that
had risen up to try and shake the founda-
tions of the faith and turn away COPS peo-
pie from the truth" 1t would appear that
the bishop himself had been well frig hteneu
by modern science, and that he was simply
communicating this fear to the young peo-

IT WAS pretty generally declared all
through the winter that Salt Lake over
built, so to speak, last year; that too many
houses were erected and too much money
invested in them for the number of inhab-
itants. Perhaps these criticisms were more
or less correct Perhaps city of $4,000
population ought not to spend SO, 100000 in
one year for brick, stone and lumber. How
ever that may be, it is observed that very
few dwelling houses are unoccupied, while
the business blocks and Office buildings are
fast filling UP. Under the circumstances,
ought capitalists to hesitate to build? So
long as the demand for residences, stores,
and eligible Offices continue, should any
body be afraid to invest his money In these
things! Can the man of means afford to
let his ground lie idle, a thing of expense,
when it would be immensely remunerative
if it were occupied by buildings?

WHY Is our hour divided into sixty
minutes, each minute into sixty seconds,
ETC.. Simply and solely, says MAX Null
LER, because in Babylon there existed by
the side of the decimal system of notation
another system, the sexigesimal, which
counted by sixties. Why that number
should be chosen is clear enough, and it
speaks well for the practical sense of those
ancient Babylonian merchants. There is
no number which has so many sdivisors as
80, it being divided without remainder by
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, IL, 10, 20 and 30.

COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.

The HERALD has received official an
nouncement of the first western states
commercial congress, which is to convene
at Kansas City on the 14th instsnt, and
continue in session during the week. Two
years ago the Kansas legislature adopted
resolutions calling this congress, and in
viting the legislatures of the states and
territories west of and including Michigan,
Kentucky, Ohio, Alabama and Tennessee
to appoint delegates. A circular says most
of the states acted in the matter, as also
have numerous commercial bodies, and the

MIR. GLADSTONE, though broad and lib
eral in many ways, is narrow and bigoted
in matters of his church. While Christian
ministers of nearly every sect are workin g
and longing for union and fraternity in
worship and work, GLADSTONE sets him
self firmly against interchange of pulpits
by his church with the Nonconformists
Oissenters), and he adds: with all re-
spect for those clergymen who are willing
to preach in Nonconformist pulpits, I
must say they do not seem to form a proper
conception of their own church."

submitted by the executive committee for

The discussions in the congress will be
full OF interest to the people of the vast re-

1t is politics which has brought on the
financial and industrial depression in the
agricultural region and throughout the
west and south, and the remedy can come
only through so-called political legislation,

increased the cost of such articles as they

TIE Town Council of Prague recently
resolved to erect public statue to JOHN
HUss, the great reformer. The Roman
Catholic members declared the proposal an
outrage on the religious feelings of all
Catholics in the country and on the Catho-
lie church. The motion for the erection of
the statue was accepted by 81 votes against
10. Within the last twelve months the
portrait of JOHN HUss, in public insti-

its place, and has not been recovered. The
monument mentioned above is the reply to

tails and worries of the household from
him. He has his full share of worries out
side. If, after all this, he goes elsewhere
he is not worth keeping at home" We

A notable feature of the April magazine

much force the beautiful ''Ballad of Colum-
bus" by S. H. M. Byers, written expressly
for this spirited periodical, which always
keeps in touch with present affairs. The
leading article, "The Chesapeake and Lieu

Ter, brings to light some exceedingly inter
esting unpublished letters about the naval
engagements of the war of 1919, and pre-
sents numerous valuable and unique illus
