children lost their lives. 1t appears

ing tea Among the crowd was a boy
who was smoking a cigarette, which
he threw away in a heap Of straw at
the foot of the staircase leading to the
upper story of the temple. The straw
quickly blazed UP and, burning the
staircase, prevented the people getting
out. OF course. there was a general
rush 10 escape; some were trampled
to death, others jumped out Of the
windows. and were either killed or so
badly injured that they were unable

fate, which was not long in overtaking
them. and they were roasted alive or
sufocated by the smoke. In one family

PRovo AND THE cApIToL.
The Provo Dispatch has this to say
about the capital:

The Provo Dispatch has this to say
about the capital:
Provo is in the race for permanent
capitol, to stay. Let all the balance o.
the territory recognize that fact and i
will save much bother. The othel
small competing points will do well tC
give up their pretensions at once
The Almighty fixed the hills, the river
/ the lake, the beautiful table land, the
| air, the water, the sunshine and the
climate and men have nothing to dc
but follow the divine indications, &c
ahead and locate it here and set about
erecting the necessary buildings.
That. we suppose. is half in joke and
the rest in earnest. If all the territory
were to hold its peace and let Prove
have the say in this matter, no doubt
the capitol and all the principal insti-
tutions of Utah would be located in
Provo. 1t is a charming city certainly
At least that is the opinion of its per-
manent residents and quite a sprinkling
of other folks.
But it is rather difficult to get all
people to see alike, and we are of the
opinion that the majority of the citi-
zens of Utah, and also of their repre-
|sentatives in the legislature, win fail
to recognize in the fact that Provo is
in the race" a sufficient reason to
consent to its wishes.
We are not aware that there ase any
other small competing points" than
Provo. So far as we have heard, that
place is the only. one in Utah that has
pretentions in that direction. If
Provo was cut out for that business
it ought to be cut over again; a mis-
take must have been made in the first
effort
AS to ''the hills, the river, the lake,
the beautiful table land, the air, the
water, the sunshine and the climate, y
Salt Lake City has all these and more
too, and if they are divine indications,
the hand of Providence has marked
this as the spot for the purpose, if
rivalled by any, excelled by none.
1t is all right for the Dispatch, as a
live paper and devoted friend to the
city where it is published, to stand up
for the project. But we sgree with
our morning contemporary here-which
gives some irrefutable facts and figures
on the subject-that the effort for
capital removal is a waste of time and
strength" And as it is not at ali
likely to prevail, it would seem that
the same might be said of any serious
endeavor against the movement.
There is not any good reason for re-
moving the capital of the territory If
a proposed donation of land or any
similar inducement is to be considered
a reason, then a bigger offer by some
other ambitious town might be counted
as a stronger reason. No. Provo has
one big public institution which is suf-
fcient for the present, and is much
more suited to its requirements than
the capitol buildings which are to be
erected in the capital city.

tending 10 anything which he does not
possess.
From a cursory examination of the
new bill we are Of the opinion that
while it might be modified in one or
two particulars. it yet covers the
ground required in such a measure,
and answers the end in view in the
discussion of the question in these
columns. At any rate it is a great
improvement upon the present law.

DISSATISFIED ANYHOW.

If our morning contemporary were
not so very commonly inconsistent, it
would be funny to read it's attacks on
voorhees, and other Democrats in the
United States Senate, because they
are opposed to oral hearings on the
tariff before the committee. Last fall,
when the Ways and Means committee
of the House heard the Populations
and personal DIRECTORS who clamored
against those provisions of the bill
which conf1icted with their interests,
our neighbor was lavish with it's sar-
casms against the committee for lis
tening to protectionist arguments.
Now it is in a rage because the Senate
committee will not waste time in lis
tening to similar objections.
1t is impossible to satisfy some of
these rabid Republican papers. They
find fault if the Democrats listen to
men pleading for a retention of GER
tain duties, and still more fault for
not hearing a repetition of the same
pleas. OF course we understand that
in either case it was simply partisan
gable intended for the unthinking
crowd and as vent to party spleen
against a measure that is bound to
pass.
The facts are that DIRECTORS to the
Wilson bill, or TO certain provisions it
contained, had ample opportunity to
present their grievances and argu-
ments before the House committee.
But our carping neighbor, copying the
Iacrid effusions of the New York Sun,
and adding some weak jeerings of its
own, berated the committee for listen
ing to those people at all. The bill. it
claimed, was simply a revenue bill and
therefore ought not to contain any
thing that was in the nature or had
the effect of protection to any indus
try or enterprise. and so the advocates
of protection ought not to be given a
hearing.
Senator Voorhees, has expressed his
opposition to having a horde of OBJ
jectors and obstructionists before the
Senate committee which is to consider
the tariff. and wants all propositions
for amendment to be presented in writ
ing. And our contemporary, which
was aggravated by the hearings af-
forded by the House committee, is
now savage because they will not be
renewed and repeated before the SEN
ate committee.
Is there anything unreasonable in
the proposition to receive written op-
jections to various features of the bill
but not oral arguments? The cry of
the country is for the passage of the
measure as quickly as possible 1t
comes from Republicans as well as
Democrats. 1t is almost universally
acknowledged that the longer the de-
lay the greater the agitation that
comes from suspense. Why then
should the Investigations to be had by
the Senate committee be hindered by
lengthy talks from opposing and in
speechmakers, when all that
they can say has been urged already
in committee and in Congress?
1t is perfectly reasonable course to
take, and when only unworthy mo-
tives can be alleged to account for it,
the critic simply advertises it's own
status and shows the secret springs
that move it to action. A public jour
nal creates a poor impression of it's
own sincerity by continually attrib-
uting insincerity and venality to others.

The Federal election laws are now
repealed. The President has signed the
bill. That is one more step towards
the ful1lment of the pledges made TO

national government has lost nothing

There are many hallowsd memories con-
nected with the love feasts in the old
church here. and one of the most beauti-
full poems by Frank l. Stanton is entitled
"A Love Feast at Waycross-" The vener-
able Uncle Thomas instituted the first
love feast in the old church. and his IA
mtliar face has been regularly seen in the
chancel on Sunday mornings when he
conducts the feast in his peculiarly loving
way. When the love feast was opened al
the Methodist church this morning by
Bishop Wilson many faces were turned
expectantly toward Uncle Thomas. The
church was thronged, and many could not
even find standing room. Uncle Thomas
became happy in the course of the love
feast, and the eyes Of the audience were
filed with tears of Joy
