Lake City, IS stopping at the Stevens. He Is
distant relative of Mra President Cleveland,
and his sister Amelia, who Is s:iil living IN sat
Lake City, was the favorite wife of Brigham
Young. While all the other wives o. Brigham
were domiciled In two large apartment houses,
called the Lion and the Beehive houses, for his
fsvorite he erected the most magnificent resi-.
dence In Q tsh and for many years it was popu-
larry known a. the Amelia palace. In his will
Brigham LETT her q life tenancy Of this splendid
property, which she subsequently so d, and it
has ever since remained the official residence of
the successive heads of the Mormon church.
Business ID very quiet in salt Lake City at
present." said Mr.. Folsom "politics is an en-
crossing topic in our section OF the country
The peculiar condition OF affairs growing
out OF the religious antagonisms is rapidly be.
coming very much modified. Formerly the
most bitter animosity existed between the Gen.
tiles and Aormons, which manifested itself in
every relation OF life, social, political aud bust
ness. Time, education, large influx of new
blood and the growth of 9 younger generation
with more liberal views have tended to bring
about softening OF the harsh feelings which
once existed. Especially since the withdrawal
OF the doctrine of polygamy in the Mormon
church has more liberal and juster estimate
been put upon the character and achievements
Of the members OF that church. We are now
trying 10 obtain form OF se!f-goverrment,
either through admission q state or by
modification of the usual form OF territorial
government. Although we have population
larger than Wyoming, Idaho and Nevada com.
bined. statehood has hitherto been denied US
because OF a distrust lest the preponderance Of
Mormans in the territory should throw the gov.
erning power into the hands of the church.
This iear has been iustiiied In to the minds oil al
non-Mormon citizens by those interested In re-
| tanning the present form Of government, but
time, experience and personal contact have
shown that this fear IL groundiess, and think
that majority OF the non Mormons in Utah
now favor its admission into the Union a. q
