CHRISTIAN UNITY. - For several
years past various efforts have been
made to re- unite Northern aud South
ern Presbyterians, Northern and
Southern Methodists, and Northern
and Southern Baptists. All these eff
forts to bring about organic union
have failed, and in like manner all eff
forts to combine the various Christian
sects in one universal Church have
failed Yet it is an undeniable fact
that there is greater spirit of unity
amongst Christians today than ever
before in the history of the world.
Christians of various denominations
work tremendously together, and re-
gard each other as brethren. Organic
union may be impossible, but spiritual
union is desirable, and towards spirit
ual unity modern Christianity is un.

Once upon time when tramps were
known by the name of wayfarers, one
OF the species came along to a farm
house at dusk of evening and asked for
food and lodgings.

farmer as he came to the door. eff 1

But [ faint with hunger"
Faint and be burned, but don't fall

And I shall suffer from the inclem-
ency of the weather.
Cant help that! I don't run the
weather around here. I'll hold the
bulldog jest two minutes and then let
him co.
The wayfarer turned away with grief
and desolation eating at his heart, and
trudged onward, but as he passed the
farmers barn he saw flames at work
had absent-mindedly thrown the stub
of his cigar among the hay. Left to
itself, the flames would soon have
wrapped the whole structure in their
fiery embrace, but the wayfarer lost
not an instant in springing forward
and trampling them out. When he had
finished he called to the farmer, and
when the latter realized what had hap
pened he said:
II turned you from my door with
harsh words, and yet you requite me
with noble deed. Come in and have
some hot biscuit and honey and
feather bed, and from this time on
every wayfarer who calls here shall be
entertained"

After entertaining wayfarers for the
next five years the farmer began to
figure up. Had the barn burned, the
loss over insurance would have been
5000; entertainment of wayfarers, about
$500. It's cold day when the way

TWO OPEN LETTERS.
To Mayor Baskin:

To Mayor Basl1in:
The expected has happened. DR.. Me-
Achran, your appointee to succeed DR..
Beatty as health commissioner, has been
turned down.
Mr.. Cohn said the majority of the COM
mittee had the interest of the city in
view when they reported adversely on
your nominee and had a delicacy IN stat
ing their reasons therefor.
AS Mr.. Cohn, Mr.. DAILY and Mr.. Corum
are so modest, shall take upon myself
the task OF telling you and the citizens of
salt Lake generally why they reported
adversely.
1t was not because McAchran is not a
qualified physician. 1t was not because
the health and reputation of the city
We're at stake.
1t was not because, as Daily and Corum
childishly put it, there was danger IN
changing health inspectors in warm wea-
ther
1t was not because Beatty was the bet
ter man for the place.
1t was not because Beatty had had
greater experience in that particular line.
What was it?
LIE Grande Young hit the nail squarely
on the head when he said there are about
three medical men (alleged to be at the
head of the profeSsion) who want to
and propose to run everything, and pro-
pose to keep Beatty there in spite of all
that may be done looking to his removal.
In case Beatty must go, then they have
in view another man-an individual who
has been sucking city pap and giving
precious little In return ever since he set
foot in Salt Lake City.
The immaculate trio referred to by Mr..
Young have made up their minds to this
point-that no man you may appoint to
succeed Beatty will ever be confirmed
unless he happens to be acceptable to
them.
The necessary votes to defeat each and
every appointee, unless he is approved by
the trio, have been secured, and those
votes are the same that turned down DR..
McAchran.
No man can succeed Beatty unless he
truckles to the trio.
The trio may awaken some morning to
find themselves famous. DIR. FELL.
To DR.. Beatty:
When DIR. McAchran was nominated to
succeed you as health commissioner, you,
according to newspaper intervie VS.,
heaved a great sigh of relief and gave
the public to understand that you we're
ready and willing, nay, eager, 10 lay
down the burden of official duty and re-
tire to private life. The burden was re-
ally greater than you cared TO bear.
that you had the great and glorious priv
ilege of all American citizens, 10 quit
when you had enough.
OF course, it may be considered coward
ly, or at least impolitic, for any man to
accept public trust and then funk
before his term is out.
/ admire you for the zeal displayed in
holdirg on as you did-in order that the
health of the city might be preserved
to the end of your term, no matter how
disa greeable it might have been or how
much you may have suffered financially.
