ACCORDING TO contemporary ia govern
ment, to be acceptable, must have no re-
Hgious duties to perform, no religious rites
to observe, no religious ordinances to ad-
minister. no eternal law to enforce, and no
eternal judgment to render. In its educa-
tional work it must deal solely with those
things which fit for good citizenship, and
so far as it is concerned must deal abso-
lutely with nothing else"
This was not exactly the opinion of the
late body known, by courtesy, as the Idaho
legislature. According to that august as
sembly, one of the first duties of govern
ment is to institute precise and searching
inquiry into the religious opinions of its
people. Those whose opinions were, by
the legislators, fancied to be wrong, were
subjected to degrading disabilities, loss of
the elective franchise, etc. The Idaho
legislature evidently made some rare and
valuable discoveries bearing upon the sub
lect of the proper sphere of government.

MODEST AND CONSCIENTIOUS.

We had occasion to remark the other day
that the policy of the Republican party as
exhibited in this country means federal
control of elections, with "bayonet be-
hind every ballot" so that the party In
power may be enabled to do its own ssreg
istration, counting and certifcation.n The
quoted phrases are the words of Republi-
can leaders, not our own; and in evident
ignorance Of that fact, the Tribune bubbles
over like this:
One would think that in a land of as much in.
telligence as this. the most bitter partisan and
the most INSCRIPTIONS man would hesitate
before putting out such stuff for intelligent peo
pie to read.
But the joke doesn't end there; a little
further along the same modest and fearful
paper says:
AS to controlling elections by federal power
and having a bayonet behind every voter the
truth is that the only citizens in this country
who have ever been refused when they wanted
to cast a ballot, have been Republicans; the
only violence ever perpetrated upon voters has
been upon Republicans.
1t seems odd that this conscientious editor
did not remember his profession of modesty
long enough to forbear writing the above
ludicrous statement before closing that very
article.

other three archbishops who favor open
ing the exhibition Sunday afternoons, DO
so on the ground that it would not desc
crate the Sabbath nor interfere with divine
services; and that there is no reason why
a man who has attended mass and other
religious exercise in the morning should
not, with his family, visi. some parts of
the exhibition in the afternoon
OF the sixteen Catholic bishops who ex :
press an opinion, eleven are in favor of
opening the gates of the exposition, four
would close it, and one is in doubt as to
which would be best to do. 1t will be OBJ
served that in the Catholic ministry the
case stands just the opposite TO what il
does in the Protestant. In the latter the
majority are in favor of Sunday closing !;
among the former the very large majority
favor Sunday opening for the latter part of
the day. The reason for this is the diff
ferent view taken in relation to the
Lords day. by these respective religious
bodies. To most .Protestants, Sunday,
although there is little authority of Scrip
ture for it, takes the place of the Jewish
Sabbath, and therefore, the fourth
commandment = Remember the Sab
bath day TO keep it holy''-
to them is still in force. Not so with the
Catholics. According to one of the bishops
In The symposium in question, ''the observ-
ance OF Sunday consists essentially in two
things; in hearing mass and in refraining
from servile work, and Catholics are
taught to feel that the Lords day is not
merely day of religious worship, but a
day also of joy, of freedom and of recrea-
ton. 1t is day of triumph, of the victory
OF life over death, of light over darkness
OF liberty over subsection to the letter
which killeth. Hence the early Christians, as
TERTULLIAN informs Us, refused even to
kneel or to perform any act symbolical of
fear and humiliation on Sunday"
And furthermore, to Catholics it does not
succeed the Jewish Sabbath, hence the diff
ference between Catholic and Protestant
views on this subject.

THE OUTLOOK.

Our people will all do well to prepare for
an active year industrially and financially.
The signs of great activity and of pros
perity are in the air and can be noted by
all who will take the trouble to observe
They are seen in every direction, in every
field of trade and industry. The mining
outlook was never more promising The
developed lodges are yielding handsomely.
and with the melting of the snow and the
opening of the roads, the output of ore will
show satisfactory increase over that of
any previous year. The mining industry
has also been greatly stimulated this spring
by the discoveries in the west. The rush
into the Deep Greek and Fish Springs
country does not represent the extent
of the impetus which the Industry
has lately received. The prospector
is abroad searching those fields which
can be reached at this season Of the
year, and he is anxious for the snow to dis
appear that he may prospect in the dis
tricts heretofore skinned only. We believe
that more locations will be made this year
than during any previous twelve months,
and it will be strange indeed if many of
these finds shall not develop into rich and
productive mines.
1t is certainly fact which nobody will
deny that the agricultural outlook was
never more promising. The deep SHOWS
piled up in the mountains during the later
weeks Of winter insure an abundant supply
of water and consequently good crops.
while the market for products is assured,
our rapidly increasing population supply
ing buyers and consumers for the products
of the soil
Another of our money producing indus
tries, stock-growing, is in most flourish
ing condition, both as to market and the
supply.
In Salt Lake particularly is the outloo,,
one of hopefulness and encouragement.
For time there was gloom in the air. and
our people, bankers, merchants, mechanics
and laborers, were feeling pretty blue: the
scarcity OF money was discouraging; con.
templated building enterprises were cost
poned; debtors were asking extensions
from creditors, and the streets were fpll
of idle men, while the real estate marke,
was simply paralyzed. A change has come.
however, and the gloom has disappeared
An easier money market has dispelled the
encouragement which pervaded the at.

SUNDAY AND The EXPOSITION.

A few months ago one of the leading reli-
gious newspapers of the United States
published a symposium on the subject of
opening the Columbian exposition on Sur
day. The contributors were members of
the United States House of Representa-
tives and members of the Senate This
was followed by another symposium on the
same subject to which the governors of the
various states Of the union were contribu-
tors. The same journal is out again with
an expression of opinion from ninety seven
bishops of the leading churches in the
United States-the Roman Catho-
lie, Protestant Episcopal, Meth
odist Episcopal. United Brethren
in Christ Evangelical association.
African Methodist Episcopal, Methodist
Episcopal church south, Moravian and the
colored Methodist Episcopal church. or
the sixty nine Protestant bishops who
contribute their opinions to this sympo-
stun sixty-tive are in favor of closing the
gates of the exhibition on Sunday, three
are in favor Of opening it half the day. and
one reserves his opinion. Three arch
bishops of the Roman Catholic church are
in favor of closing, and three would open
it for half the day. Archbishop JOHN IRE
LAND, of ST Paul, of the three who favor
closing the exhibition is perhaps the most
pronounced in his views, holding that
"The Sunday, the sacred symbol of our
Christianity, the honor of our civil institu-
tions is already too seriously attacked.
whether from the greed of capital or the
aggressiveness Of irreligion. To yield even
in a lesser degree to its adversaries during
solemn national occurrences is putting the
seal of public national approval upon the
war that is waged against itn Archbishop
WILLIAM H. Gross, of Oregon, says there
is, on the Pacific slope a great tendency to
do away entirely with the religious observ-
ance of the Sunday, and to convert it into
one Of carousing and toll. AS the opening
OF the exposition would do much to pro-
mote this deplorable proclamation of the
Lords day throughout the country, he
favors closing the gates. The other arch
bishop who favors Sunday closing.
p. w. RIoRDAN, of San Francisco, does so
for the reason that public sentiment is not
IN favor of it; and further. because s.the
observance Of the Sunday is interviewer

religious conduct, and they should not be

znosphere, and hopefulness is felt on
every hand. There is activity in the
building industry, and the idle men are
going to work. Collections are easier; new
enterprises are inaugurated; confidence has
come again; and what is of Importance
there is better inquiry for real estate,
outside parties realizing that land in Salt
Lake is worth all that is asked for it. The
change in public feeling during the past
month has been wonderful, and the i'm
provement continues. There is no sugges-
ton of boom, but thereis every Indication
OF one of the busiest and most prosperous
years that Salt Lake and Utah have ever
experienced.

WHY A DEFICIT THREATENS.

Our Republican contemporary claims
that our remarks on the extravaganza of
the late Congress were at fault 1t says
1.-THE natural expenses under Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS administration were quite as great
as under the present administration, with
the single exception that in that admins
tration Mr.. CLEVELAND showed his hatred
of union soldiers by wholesale vetoing of
pension bills"
Following in parallel columns are the ap-
preparations of the Fiftieth (Democratic)
and the Fifty-frst (Republican) Congress
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-05-01

THE REPUBLICANS continue to discover
how utterly impossible it will be for the
Democrats to nominate GROVER CLEVELAND
next year. The Democrats are patiently
awaiting the opening of the national con-
vention to demonstrate how utterly i'm
possible it will be to nominate anybody else.

A DECENT regard for the rights and
wishes of the taxpayers should suggest to
the council the wisdom and propriety of
adopting one of two courses in the matter
of street sprinkling-either cut down the
sprinkling district or adjust the assessment
in such way as to make the benefits and
taxation proportiopate.

Presidential nomination he will probably

The actual appropriations for the late
Congress are given as far as completed, and
the rest are estimates furnished by the
committees themselves, and certainly do
not exceed, but. probably, fall somewhat
short Of the amounts. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that two years of Republican
rule have cost the taxpayers fully $500, 0OO-
600 more than the same immediate preced-
ing period under Democratic administra-
ton. Even these figures do not tell the
whole story. Obligations were incurred by
the Fifty first Congress which will mort
gage future Congresses and seriously han
dicap any effort towards economy which
may be attempted

ing some kinds of ficuon

Ne citing of the Hui KaIaiaina.

Ne citing of the Hui KaIaiaina.
The meeting of the Hui Kalaiaina,
held at Robinson Hall on Wednes-
day evening, was fairly attended.
President Kahoonei presided.
S. FL. Meekapu presented the ma
jority report of the Special Commit
tee on Platform Revision, and F. j.
Testa presented the minority report.
The original platform contained 81
sections, but the committee reduced
them to IA, several sections being
combined into one. The meeting
rejected two more sections relating
to vaccination and oath binding the
candidates of the association.
+. j. Testa read a communication
from the Mechanics Union. AS the
communication was not addressed
to the Hui Kalaiaina, nor signed by
any responsible officer of the Me-
chanic's Union, it was considered
improper for the Hui Kalaiaina to
receive it and was therefore rejected.
Arguments on the Hubs platform
occupied the whole evening, the
meeting closing at very late hour.

Two Men Abuse a Woman.

Last Sunday night Mrs. Ellen
Summers, a resident of the third
civil district of this county, was
aroused by two men who requested
her to open the door and let them
in. This she refused to do, as it was
after nightfall and she was alone.
They insisted that they only want
ed to warm themselves by the fire.
AS the night was intensely cold, she
opened the door andpermitted them
to enter.
After enjoying the warmth Of the
fire and Mrs. Summers hospitality
the two men drew their pistols and
and abused the then frightened wo-
man for not admitting them wher
they commanded her to open the
door. No violence was done hel
person or property, the men con
tented themselves with abusing he1
and making threats, which consid
erably unnerved her.
