HONOR TO THE CHOIR.

While the Tabernacle choir was absent,
and particularly after its great successes
on the way to Chicago, crowned by the
triumph 1t achieved at the grand musical
festival. the desire was expressed by vast
numbers of people here that our singers
should be received on their arrival, or
Immediately after it, in such a way that
they could understand how much they
are appreciated at home. Circum-
stances prevented the musical re-
ception prepared for them, but a
desire for a concert was born of that
disappointment and the wish has ma
terialized into action. On Monday night
q grand reception concert viii be given
in the Tabernacle. Popular prices will
be charged to afford everybody an oppor-
tunity of maDifesting in solid but easy
way their feelings towards the choir and
its gifted leader. A specially interesting
programme has been prepared, and it is
TO be hoped that what has been spoken
in words win then be expressed in deeds,
and the choir be not only shown by the
presence of thousands of friends how
much it is admired, but be aided IN clear

The uTAH-NEYApA Project.

Some OF the Nevada papers are fairly
trembling in their shoes at the prospect
of Utah being annexed to the sagebrush
state The Gazette says the scheme is be-
ing worked up by ''long- headed careful
manipulators, and will be consummated
before the rank and file know of it unless
the people wake up.'' Senator Stewart
is said to be in favor of the annexation
and Senator Jones is reported to have
said that If the people of Nevada thought
SO, it would probably be to their advan-
tage to consolidate.
The Journal is of the opinion that the
people of western Nevada might prefer
annexation to California, with the east
ern counties OF which they have much in
common, to becoming the tail end of a
state with the capital at Salt Lake,
So far as Utah is concerned, Nevada
need not feel at all alarmed. The pros
porous and enterprising people inhaoit-
ing this territory have no desire, we take
il, to be hitched to the Squeezed lemon"
called Nevada. They will never become
so anxious for the possession OF state
hood as to willingly consent to burden
themselves with the debts and other en-
cumbrances that are worrying our neigh
Dor on the west.
Look upon this picture:
Utah has an area of "a, $40 miles, and
in 1890 had a population of 2O7, 9O5-an in
crease of Sc, 1872 IN ten years.
Then on this:
Nevada has an area OF 10, 200 square
miles, and it had population of As, 761
in 1S9O-a decrease Of 16, 4O5 in len years.
The annexation OF Utah to Nevada
would, in the minds of many here, be
like mating dove to a coyote, or
healthy, wealthy and beautiful maiden
with an old, decrepit and worn-ou tspend-
thrift. This may be an extreme way OF
putting it, but it means we want no Ne
vada in ours, and we don't want to be in
Nevada.

THE CIVIC SITUATION.

The movement for sort of general
fusion of members of al parties and peo-
pie of no party, except the rank Liberals,
in this city, is assuming compact form,
and looks as though it may lead to some
thing important. Whether reasonable or
not, the feeling manifested towards the
original Citizens movement is not cor
dial among the majority of the people.
Some of the objections raised are not well
grounded, others have some rational
foundation, and altogether the prospect
OF its success are not improving.
We have hoped that the regular politl-
cal parties would wait before taking any
definite action, until the ticket to be
formulated by the committee of fifty shall
be presented. But it seems that some
people viii not support it, whatever it
may be, and they are determined TO agi-
tate for something else.
1t is quite proper for the city commit
tees of the two parties to call primaries
and arrange for conventions. 1t Will be
necessary for the Democrats and the Re-
publicans both to take party action in ia
vor OF or against any ticket that may be
nominated, or to formulate tickets Of their
own. But in view of the situation, and
the general sentiment that there ought to
be union of parties and interests. to Sc
cure redemption from the faction that
seems determined to strive to retain pos
session of the city government. it is desir-
able that party politics may be waived
during the present crisis, and some COM
bination of forces effected which will win
the aid of the BODY OF the people.
Whatever we may think OF the character
of the Citizens committee, their ability
and business standing and influence,
everybody knows that without the masses
OF the voters accept ticket it must fail,
however worthy of public support. A
fusion that promises to unite the great
body of the people Is worthy Of considera-
ton. The danger before US is that the
voters viii become so divided that the
rank Liberals will step in between aud
the great object IN view will be lost. To
prevent that disaster should be the aim of
every friend to law and order, economy
and honesty, and the en- argies Of all good
citizens should be combined without re-
gard to personal feelings or party affilia-
tions
