FACT OR FICTIoN2

Last Sunday morning the Tribune said
1.-THE Illustrated american of New York city
is publishing a series of articles on Nor
monism. The articles in the main are fair.
From some authority the IllIstroted Ameri-
cdn has received its information and natur-
ally it reaches the conclusion that the
Saints have not in any honest sense aban-
doped polygamy."
The articles in the journal the local sheet
refers to discussed the theme, ''Will the Nor
mons fight2" and had only an Incidental
reference to polygamy. The inference and
conclusion of each article was TO the effect
that the Mormons would fight and actually
intended to do so. And with the articles
which declared the Mormons would fight
before his eyes, the Tribune scribe said
gleefully, 1.-THE articles in the main are
fair''
1t is not to be wondered at that the issue
of the same sheet two days later contained
the following: who dampens and chills
the atmosphere, eatmospheres, the reli-
gious. the social. the political, the business

THE CoUNTY's MORTGAGES.

The county recorder has been listing the
mortgages in his books for the convenience
of the assessor, and we understand these
fooG up 6,3S1. People will say this is a
pretty bad showing. In fact, it is bad
showing. 1t tells that there are good
many debtors in Salt Lake county. and
that a good deal of the property is pledged
for the payment of debts. We fear that
the boast can no longer be made that every
body owns the house in which he lives
The sums involved in these mortgages are
not given, but we understand the aggre
gate would be something enormous, and
fairly startling TO the conservative mem.
bers Of the community who have looked
upon debt as almost criminal
And yet the showing is not SO bad as it
appears on its face. OF the 6,3S1 recorded
mortgages many are on chattels, as house
hold furniture, musical instruments,
machinery, etc, which have been pur-
chased on the installment plan. Then
there are hundreds of Old mortgages which
were recorded eight, ten and fifteen years
ago, most of which have been salts
fed but never cancelled, and others
diO Oue4daC0 we
believe that if a segregation were made,
the live mortgages separated from the dead,
and the chattel and realty mortgages listed
each by themselves, the showing would not
be alarming, either in the matter of num-
bers or in the amount Of the Indebtedness.
We cannot think that SO large percentage
of the people as the figures would indicate
have mortgaged their possessions.
There is this to be said in connection
with these debts, that it is rare indeed that
mortgage is foreclosed. This fact shows
that even if the Indebtedness is extraor-
binary the debtors are able to meet their
obligations as they fall DUE
1T may be remarked that the great ma
!ority Of the mortgages have been recorded
within the past two years.

CLEVELAND, who appointed many of them
to office and would have given more of
them places if their education and training
had qualified them for the duties. The
other day negro of Mississippi who was
trying to raise money with which to estab-
lish school for the instruction of colored
children wrote to the ex-Presldent for a
contribution. Mr.. CLEVELAND replied
promptly and enclosed his check for S25.
In his letter he said: 1.-THE condition you
describe has arrested my attention, and the
projects you have in hand for the improve
ment of your people interest me so much
That feel like aiding you, though it must
be to but slight extent. have an idea that
opportunities for education and practical
information among the colored population
are most necessary to the proper solution
OF the race question of the south. At any
rate, 1t seems to me to be of utmost import
ance that, if our colored boys are to exer-
else ii their mature years the right of citi-
zenship, they should be fitted to perform
their duties intelligently and thoughfully.
L hope that in the school you seek to estab-
lish the course of teaching will be directed
to this end,

BUILDING FOR 1891.

II there are in Salt Lake city any patri-
otto men with money it is to be hoped that
they viii show their patriotism In sub
stantial way this year. We mean by this.
that they Will spend their cash in ways
which viii benefit the city. Last year was
q splendid one for Salt Lake, because of
the vast sums expended for labor ana
building material. Millions were thus in
vested Everybody who, wanted work
found employment, and fair wages were
paid. The brick-mahers, the quarrymen
IL is assumed that all made money. 1t is
certain that the city derived great benefit
from the building operations.
But what in that line is on for this year?
So far as can be learned there is absolute
certainty as to nothing. 1t is known that
some structures which were in contempla-
ton for the present year have been aban
doned, or at least delayed, while it is
said that others which have been
started will not be proceeded with
this season. A gentleman who made up
his mind last year to erect a costly struc
ture in 1891, tells US that he thinks the
UQSlutSS " dS SOulGNud1 ONGIQOHS
in 1890, and that he will probably wait
another year. The head of leading firm
of contractors which could not get enough
men or material last year, says his com
pany has not taken single contract for
this year, and he can learn of no building of
any considerable proportions going up. He
says there was never time in the history
of the city when the builders were better
prepared for work. Material is now
plentiful, whereas last year much of the
season passed before brick, stone and lum-
Der could be obtained.
We do not think there was too much
building in 1890. There are few if any un-
occupied stores, and many of our merchants
would be pleased to go into better quarters
than they have been able to find. Offices
seem as scarce as ever, while the demand
for dwelling houses continues far ahead of
the supply. With such a condition of things
one who has the money ought not to hest
tate about building as an investment. If
the alarm which has affected some of our
capitalists shall overcome them all we fear
that the present season will not prove a
very progressive one for Salt Lake, and if
that fear is not going to affect our
men of means it is time they were an
nouncing their intentions and getting
ready for operations.
THE HERALD is not nervous over the out
look. We believe the year will be a pros
porous one, and that its achievements in
the building line will prove entirely salts
factory; but there Is no use trying to hide
the fact that there is abroad a feeling OF
doubt and apprehension which would be
overcome if the capitalists would say that
they intend to keep up the pace which was
seta year or two ago, and see to it that Salt
Lake does not rest with what has been
done. There is good deal in public conf
confidence.

GAIT LAKE HERALD. THURSDAY. JANUARY 80 1891

atmospheric 1t is your man of facts and
truth. There is nothing so benum bing"
The man who having lived here for
years, could deliberately perjure his soul
by saying of the fiendish productions re-
referred to, that ''the articles in the main
are fair,'' might well console himself with
an apostrophe to falsehood and deduce
mans belief in Immortality from his nat
ural propensity to lie as the Bashi-Bazouk
did in the issue of the 9th.
The Liberal city council of Salt Lake, at
its latest session on Tuesday evening,
unanimously adopted the following resolu-
tions:
Whereas, the impression obtained by read
ing the articles bearing upon the Mormon ques-
ton published in the Illustrated Anaericdn is
such as to unsettle the eastern public confidence
in the soundness of the commercial interests of
this city, be it
Resolved That committee of this council
be appointed to off1cially refute, by telegram or
otherwise, the statements contained in the De-
cember 9th issue OF the Illustrated american, to
the effect that Utah is about to make war upon
the United States, and be it further
Resolved, That the committee be requested
to obtain the cooperation of the territorial
officers and the Salt Lake chamber Of com
merce in this REPUTATION, and that the same be
caused to be published in the illustrated Anaera-
can
The mayor named Pembroke, Hall and Kar-
rick as the committee to refute the publications
named.
Now, it is certain that the council is mis-
taken or else the Tribune lied when it pro-
nounced the articles fair. That what 1t
publishes is false, however, makes no dill
ference to that sheet; it believes in false
hood and says facts and truths dampen,
chill and benumb the atmosphere it likes to
revel in. A great many editors would like
to be free to let their imagination run in
the same way, for it is much harder TO
write when one has to be governed Dy
facts; but it is only in this community that
an editor can give free reign to his magma
ton, with the moral certainty that
nine out of every ten or
his readers will never care
whether the imaginary vaporings they read
have any solid foundation or not II ID
great crime these Tribune readers are COM
uniting against themselves; for when they
have read for the twentieth time some
statement that they know to be false, they
will be unconsciouslv Influenced by it as
though it contained more or less truth;
and when they read as they do from day to
day falsehood after falsehood which they
have no means of probing, they will become
wholly imbued with the false sentiments
and will act accordingly. The well-worr
words of PORE find ready application here
Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
AS, to be hated, needs but TO be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity. then embrace.
And it is precisely the same in reading the
unrestrained imaginings of a writer, who
is not obliged to keep within the boundaries
of truth, but prefers rather to let magma
ton take the place of sober fact and dull
veracity. s ~.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-01-29
THE MAYORS ARGUMENT.

The mayors argument is not a pro-
nounced success. 1t is intended to justify
the trebllng of the ordinary expenses of
the city, on the ground that the eXtraordin-
AIRY expenses have simply kept pace with
those of the quarter preceding the inau-
guration of the Liberal government.
1t justifies the expenditure of million Of
dollars last year, on the plea that if the rate
of expenditure of the preceding three
months when the main sewer was put in
at cost of s70,919.40, had kept up at the
rate at which it was then preceding, the
expenditure of the city government in
other hands would have been as great as it
has been under Liberal administration
The objection to this point is that people
had no idea when they voted for sewerage
that they thereafter pledged themselves to
perpetual tax as great as the sewer tax
had been.
The mayor seems to doubt, as well he
might, whether the present council has
actually expended the surplus of quarter
of a million on hand at the beginning of
their term of Office; and says, "If we as
sumo that we have expended the entire
sum of S26S, 320.97 of extra revenue, etc. -
The obvious comment upon which is that
if the money hasn't been expended, then
where Is it!
The mayor then shows that the city can
obtain a supply of water by the expendi
ture of sums aggregating, according to hi:
estimate. some $3.50, 900. This is indeed re-
freshing.
The apology for the street improvements
is hardly worth quotation or comment
| The mayor NOES with some satisfaction
that the miles of water pipe laid during the
year make an addition of over 60 per cent.
to the whole amount laid prior to January
| l, 1890. As every cent and more of this ex.
pense is borne by property owners through
special taxes, the wonder is that the city
was satisfied with laying so few of them.
With practically no increase in the water
supply, and go per cent. increase in the
number of miles Of mains laid, we have 6
pair of facts that appear to fit very inhar
mcniously. q
The finances of the police department are
not given; but the sewer department
makes a good showing in expenditures
reaching S153, S4399, while the expenses O.
the ire department also loom up.
The argument to show how wisely tn,
city has expended $4,000 on plans for tn
city and county building is somewhat weak
but has the distinction of being unsup
ported by comparisons with the ''quarte
preceding" etc.
We shall review the items more at lengtl
in the near future.

CONGRESSMAN FLOWER says he is willing
to accept the Democratic nomination to the
governorship of New York. There was a
time when FLOWER thought that anything
less than the Presidency of the United
States was not good enough for him.
CLEVELAND went to the White House by
the gubernatorial path, HILL is travelling
the same road, and perhaps FLOWER has
concluded that the only way to reach the
top position is via the governorship.
Hence his seeming condescensien.

The REPUBLICAN journals alleging that
Democrats are obstructionists may be re-
ferred to the words of Senator HARRIS,
when similarly tainted with delaying the
necessary business in the Senate: 'If you
move to proceed to the consideration of ap-
preparation bills, or Of any of the measures
you have mentioned, you can get unanimous
consent on this side"
The Republicans are obstructing legisla-
ton with the force bill, and laying the
blame on the Democrats. The country is
watching the proceeding.

with mixture of three parts salicylic
acid, thirty parts starch, and seventy parts

in giving quinine in acid solution.

NO WRECK ASHORE

Was ever more hopelessly stranded than a
wrecked constitution, whether its disaster
be the product of some formidable malady,
or that slow, premature decay that seems
to fasten upon some constitutions without
apparent adequate cause. An excellent
means of checking this gradual drain of the
sources of vitality is the benefcint tonic,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which pro-
notes digestion, enriches the Flood and
gives substance as well as stamina to an
enfeebled frame. Constipation, feebleness
of the kidneys and bladder, fever and ague
and rheumatism, are among the bodily all
ments which it remedies promptly and
thoroughly. Persistence in it's use is well
merited by it.
