If we do our duty and If we hold
out to the end we will surely reap
our reward.
Bro Plat, from Pinto, said |
acknowledge the hand of the Lord
in his dealings with this people for
he has blessed us and provided for
our necessities when we were
in poverty and when we could see
no way of escape he has always pro-
vided way of escape for his peo-
pie. Although we have passed
through many hardships, still he
has always provided for his people.
John S. Woodbury. said / realize
that 1, with the rest of you, have
covenanted to keep the command
ments Of God and [ know that l
oft times fall short of doing all that
I should. 1 know that we, as q
people are trying to keep the COM
mandments Of God and that We are
gaining more favor with God day
by day, and he knows the desire OF
his people, that they are seeking to
keep his commandments.

The Union. [volume] (St. George, Utah) 1882-1898, 1896-02-01

The man whe struggled to give
this republic to their children
showed good sense in not bequeath-
ing an aristocray to them. The
great Washington refused to be
made a king and generations OF
freemen will hold him in reverence
for that act while men live. There
are Americans who wish to ape for
eign lords and others who strive
to marry their daughters to mobiles
with great titles, but the majority
Of Americans are satisfied with
plain democratic ways. We have
monopolies enough at home with
out importing them. The too
countries need not fight over their
different forms of government. They
need not quarrel over national
traits. Both countries have great
aims, and the citizens OF each land
have great faults. There is a way
out which Christianity and civiliz-
alton can reach. That is arbitra-
ton.
1t it said that Justice Harlan OF
the United State Supreme Court
advocates a theory, "that differences
between the United States and
Great Britain be settled by a COM
mission composed by an equal
number of judges of Her Majesties
High Court of Justice and of the
United States Supreme Court"
This should be satisfactory to
all right minded men. 1t is the
Christian way to settle disputes.
It would exalt our religion.
It would honor Christ.
It would be a bond OF unity
among all English speaking people
It would set an example to al
nations and be the beginning OF
universal brotherhood without war
, It would do away with expensive
ornaments between to great powers
and lessen taxation and take bur.
, dens away from the people and bt

The Utah Press should unani-
mously urge the passage by the
present legislature of law prohi-
biting aliens from acquiring real
estate in this commonwealth. Let
us have one state in the union that
is not owned and ridden by inso-

Cleveland run us into debt fast
enough to outsiders, without our
allowing them to come IN and run
the state, or any one of it's comm

buys a big mine, in Colorado for
instance, it presumes that it owns
the camp in which the mine is
located, and acts accordingly. Let
us have no landlordism in Utah.
