How THE people do like Dernocracya

WE CAME across the following anecdote
of Lord NELSON the other day, which was
new to Us, and will be of great interest to
all our artists: Before Mel SON went to sea
for the last time. he sat next to BENJAMIN
WEST. the celebrated painter, at a large din
ner party. whore the conversation turned
on art The great commander expressed
his own regret that he had not in his youth
attained the power of discrimination with
regard to such matters and frankly de-
clared that he often failed to see beauty in
the works admired by others. "But" he
said, turning to WEST, "there is one pic
ture whose power do feel. meyer pass
q shop which has your Death of WOLFE
In the window without being stopped by
it." The artist Of course. made his
acknowledgements, and NELSON went on to
ask why he had painted no more pictures
like it. Because. my lord, there are no
more subjects" ..Ahr' But, my lord,n

PROUD UTAH.

Utah makes a splendid showing in the
census table giving the indebtedness Of the
several states and territories, in this mat
ter as in everything else setting a worthy
example to those communities which have
been IN the habit of turning up their noses
at US. The territorial debt, bonded and
floating, in 1850, Amounted to only cents
per capita, being lower than that OF any
other state or territory which had any
debt whatever. In the District OF
Columbia the debt per capita was Sl22 10;
in louisiana, S24.g3; in Tennessee, SlS.S2;
in Nevada, s5.2l, and so on through the en-
tire list In 1890, the territorial and county
debt of this territory, less the sinking
fund, aggregated only $40, $50, or "a cents
per capita. being lower than that Of any
other state or territory. The state and
county debts per capita range from
Ss5.S6 in the District OF Columbia, down
TO the insignificant amount in Utah. Our
neighbors loom somewhat alarmingly in
this matter of debt. Thus Nevada has
increased her Indebtedness during the
decade from 1,217, Az to 81 ,322, 2O2, while
the population decreased from 62,256 TO
45, 16l. The Nevada per capita debt in 1890,
less the sinking fund, was S2S.s9. Idaho
increased her debt from 1922, l23 in 1850, to
81 ,464, 2o3 in 1890, the per capita obligation
now standing SIPS. Wyoming was even
more extravagant than Idaho, building a
debt of 81, 403, 100, the per capita debt being
increased from s.. 81 in 1850 10 s23. II in 1890.
Colorado more than doubled her state and
county Indebtedness during the decade, the
total standing at s.. Pa, SIG in 1890, or at the
rate of Sl2.7S per capita. New Mexico,
however, was the widest and most reckless
OF them all. Starting with a total county
and territorial Indebtedness ten years ago
of So, s72. or IL cents per capita, she has
increased the obligation 10 S2,6S6, Oh,
and now every man, woman and child
in the territory would have to
contribute Sl7.49 in order to be freed from
the public obligation. The progress"
which Arizona has made in the last ten
years is marked by an increase of the
public debt from s353.217 to &, 763, 252, the
per capita increase being from sS.13 to
s46.35. The per capita debt of the other
states in the western group are as follows:
Montana, sl5.17; Washington, s5.17; Ore
gon, $3.50; California, S5.46. The grand
total Of the state and county debt, less the
sinking fund, has been reduced from s4l4,-
43l $40 in 1880 to 1866, O5S, 72S in 1890, while
the per capita decrease was from ss.26 to
s.. 50.
1t should be the occasion Of pride in all
our people, that Utah stands out conspicu-
ously in this list OF forty eight states and
territories as having the smallest aggre-
gate and by far the lowest per capita debt.
These figures furnish splendid vindica-
ton Of the people of Utah, and tell why
the credit Of this territory is so good in the
world

COWARDLY ISLANDER

The Salt Lake Tribune Republican and
Liberan says of the people of Utah, and
especially of the Mormon people, that
Here is people that has been born in or
brought under another form OF government
from that Of our republic and held SO firmly in
hand that they are-the great mass of them-as
ignorant as so many South American monkeys
OF American institutions and the principles of
the government of the United States.
We reproduce this vile SANDER merely in
order to call attention to it. We suggest to
the young men who have been brought up
in Utah, that they cut it out and paste it in
their hats for an enduring reminder of how
the chief Republican paper in Utah loves
them.
The cure for this imaginary ignorance of
the people here, suggested by this Republi-
can paper, is that these people be disfran
chised, denied the right to acquire or own
land in this country, deprived of jury trial
and brought to final bankruptcy" This
will teach them, it thinks, TO love their
country and study its institutions.
As a matter of fact, the masses of the
Mormon people are as well informed in re-
gard to civil government and American in
situations as the masses of the people any
where in this country. We have before
stated and do so again that there is not a
county in this territory in which there
cannot be found Mormons who are able to
meet in debate and defeat the Liberal
5lackguard who calls them South Amer
lean monkeys" on the very subject he
names. He is afraid to meet them, and
longs to keep up the old prejudice against
the Mormons, that being the only ground
upon which he dares TO fight.
For years this clay-fisted coward has
boasted that the Mormons dare not take
issue on the ground of national politics.
Now that they are doing so, the Repub-
lican editor dares not stand his ground.

may bring about a calm and cool judgment and
the abandonment OF the Liberal organization,
that has. apparently finished its work NO one
expects that this can be accomplished without
diffculty. for the reason that the managers OF
the present Liberal party are not available in
the new order OF things For instance, Judge
POWERS, who was the head and front OF the
Liberal party, who. perhaps, more than any
other man, secured the victories OF that party
in the last election and who received as pres
ent from the wealthy gentlemen OF that organ
ization $1,000. is q Democrat born and bred,
and any recognition OF him by the Republicans
would destroy the Mormon element, and moth
ing could possibly induce the Democrats to take
him in. That the oniceholders and Judge
POWERS aud his associates will hold on like
grim death to the reins OF power seems most
natural. but the voice OF warning is distinct
and loud. that it must be done. and 1t viii be
something most seriously TO regret II any ne
cessity should occur TO make them tumble"

CHRISTIAN MINISTERS during the past
generations have preached dogmas, creeds
and doctrines more than morality and an
upright life to make strong, sweet Chris
tian character. Indeed, belief in the
creeds and attendance to church and cere-
monies were called religion, while good
works and moral conduct were looked upon
as no qualification for heaven. But about
the past few years the aim and spirit OF the
themes OF morality and making character
have been by nearly all ministers the word
from the pulpits, and exhorting TO good
life. They point now to the fact that
CHRIST taught so as to lead men TO live
good lives and do good works, and that He
lived the precepts and morals which He
taught This change is boosted OF as a
mark of progress Of this age-which indeed
it is, and is needed-but the old English
poet, CHAUCER, though lawyer, taught
this truth five hundred years ago. He
wrote:
CRIsTE's love. and his apostles twelve,
He taught and first he folwede it himselve.

Molten was a frequent visitor TO
Bridgeton, where he was largely con-
nected by marriage. No longer ago
than Thanksgiving day he was at the
pleasant home of his daughter, Mrs
Elmer, and his trained and melodious
voice was again heard in the West

Creator
Mr.. Molten married Elizabeth c.,

the fall of 1887, and entered into the
silk trade with the late Francis N.
Buck, as Buck & Potter. After their
retirement as active participants in
the business, Mr.. Molten, with the late
John Sibley, son of Colonel Sibley of
Bridgeton, with Mr.. Woodruff, for
several years continued the business as
Sibley, Molten & Woodruff, on Market
