The Issue More Clearly Defined.

Everey week the issue is being drawn
clearly defined to the people and they
are beginning to think for themselves
too 1t has been the policy of the church
to dictate in temporal as well as spirit
ual affairs and the people have permitted
the church to hold this right over them
and thought nothing of it. But the agi-
tation on political lines is causing the
people to assert their independence OF
political action. There is nothing that
man is so tenacious of as his political
liberty, and when he thinks that some
one is trying to deprive him of that he
resents the effort with all his might.-Box

Mrs. Mark Hanna was in New York
the other day and was interviewed on
the Mckinley boom. She said it was
the first time she was ever interviewed,
and that she would try and be a good
subject. She was, and displayed ad-
minaible political sense, as these COM
ments prove: I'VE are quite certain
that the people are with us, and If
they could be heard from directly there
would be no doubt of the result. Of
course. with the various political
bosses pulling in all directions, nothing
can be looked upon as absolutely GER
tain" That last sentence shows her

"Mormon Church influence,

The Ogden Standard says that the
Utah Patriot takes no stock in the hula
baloo which Mr.. Critchlow is raising about
the so-called junta of the Mormon church
OF course we do not. The Patriot shall
ever be opposed to all attempts to set
one class of citizens against another We
are firm believer in the constitution
of the United States which declares that
all men are equal before the law, and
that no man or class of men shall be dis
qualified from holding office because of
his or their religious belief. We hold
that all efforts to violate the organic
law of the land is conspiracy against
the government of the United States,
and those who do so are conspirators
We believe that at least some of those
who are now shouting Mormon church
influence belong to a dark lantern star
chamber cabal that would do, if they
had the power, that which they are ac-
cusing the Mormon church of doing, and
which we hold it is not doing.-Park City

Attitude of the Mormon Church.

What is true of any company is true of
the Mormon church, so far as protecting
it's material interests is concerned, but
it has not the right to attempt to pro-
mote or prevent any and all legislation
by threat of church displeasure or dis
cipline against Mormon members. and
we have confidence enough in the latter
any such overtures, We believe the names
of the presiding authorities might have
been used unwisely; we believe church
matters might have been carried too far
into legislative affairs by over Jealous
churchmen, but we are convinced they
were not acting under authority.-Logan

The Tendency to Big Salaries.

There is tendency toward allowing
the maximum of salaries in this county
in most of the offices. We do not believe
it should be done. The rate fixed by
the legislature was not to be exceeded.
and it was generally believed that it
would not be reached, especially during
cial affairs. County commissioners will
remember that last year there were hun
dreds of tax sales in this county, and
rigid economy is absolutely necessary.

just Like Pulling Teeth.

1t is like pulling teeth for the Salt Lake
county officials to give up their fees since
January first and they are going to fight
it in court. 1t is no less task for them
to accept the salaries under the new
law, and they also threaten to bust the
salary bill law. Zoo much hog about it
all, and every one of them ought to be
spotted when they bob up in the future
for public support.-Manti Messenger.

The Bothersome Tramps.

Compel the bothersome tramps to pay
for their board and lodging by laboring
on the streets is the Buyers solution for
the tramp nuisance. If this policy were
vigorously enforced for three months,
the town would be effectively freed of
them. Thereafter all Migrants would give
Brigham a wide berth, and burglaries
and petty thieving around town would
be things OF rare ccurrence.-Brigham

THAT MORRISON INTERVIEW.

The more one considers the views of
the Hon William r. Morrison on the
money question, the more truly aston
ishing they seem. He has made a cc'm-
plete Straddle, and try as he may, he
will never be able to get over the eff
fects of it,
1t is hard to realize just how COM
plete his straddle is until the silver and
gold views are segregated and placed
side by side. This work has been done
by the Chicago Record, and in such adj
mirable style that we reproduce it:
The mind of William R. Morrison is
twins. The cerebrum and the cerebelum
are quite independent of one another
each having policy and a guess of its
own. The cerebrum favors the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, while the
cerebellum is addicted to gold and will
have nothing to do with aught else. Mr..
ago, and apparently his views are
from strabismic standpoint. Just
about the time the cerebellum would get
off something good for the Wall street
ing UP with few brief remarks in favor
IF the silver advocates. A long and
careful analysis of Mr.. Morrison's adj
dress to his brain indicates the condi-
ton suggested in the beginning, that
he or his opinions are twins. Here is
Mr.. Morrison's interview, properly articu-
lated and FURNISHED for use:

The Democrats win Carry Utah.

The Democrats will carry Utah this
fall. 1t is all understood, and Republic
cans may as well prepare to take their
medicine. The legislature will be Demo-
cratic and will elect Senator Browns
successor. That will place one Demo-
crat and one Republican in the United
States senate from Utah. Such an ap-
and the same hand of impartiality which
draws a line of distinction between a
Republican majority and Republican con-
troll of legislation, will make another
mark upon the political sands of Utah.
If Republicans imagine they have mort
gage on this state they had better look
up their abstract.-Logan Journal.

The Electric Light Monopoly.

In the trouble which the city of Salt
Lake has with the company which fur
nishes it light, the city seems to be at
the mercy of a corporation, notwith-
standing the company does business
and is restricted under a charter granted
by the city. 1t seems odd that a city
cannot make franchised company live
up to its charter.-Mt. Pleasant Pyramid.

Army Worm Heading This Way.

The army worm is reported to be at
Youngsville, Warren county, where it
has moved down fields of oats and other
green stuff.
This famous worm is little over an
inch long, of gray or dingy black color
with stripes of narrow lines of white on
back, and the under surface is of more
or less greenish color; the head is
smooth and yellowish with two black
lines running from top to mouth. 1t has
sixteen legs. When in the moth state the
female is said to lay about 75O very small
white eggs, and these hatch in from eight
to ten days. A circular from DR.. War
ren, State Zoologist, says that the best
means of fighting the worm is to NOW a
wide swath around the invaded field,
then plow deep furrow with the straight
side toward the part to be protected, and
at intervals of few feet make holes with
crow-bar, or dig small pits into which
the worm entrapped in the ditch will fall.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1896-07-22

The ''army worm" of which there is
just now good deal found in the papers,
has not as yet been reported in this inn
mediate vicinity, although tits said he's
working this way. The Marienville Er-
press of last week says the pest has
struck that section "and is getting in
his work in dead earnest. The worms
are repulsive looking, but they have
faculty of getting over the ground at a
lively gate, leaving in their wake devas-
ted fields and gardens. As far as is
known there is no way of checking the
ravages ofthe worm, consequently grow
ing crops are at their mercy. They eat
and destroy most everything but hem
lock bark and lumber. The damage they
have done in this and neighboring coun-
ties will reach into thousands Of dollars"
The dog-day season will soon be on.
Dog-days are so called from the fact that
the rising of the dog star (Sirius) is dur
ing the period beginning on Friday last,
coincident with the rising of the sun. To
the ancients the heat of the season was
connected with the appearance in the
morning of Sirius, the greatest and
brightest of the heavenly bodies. They
| considered the dog star as raging, and
gave the time the appellation of the dog
days. In those times they thought the
star had bad effect on dogs, and in
Greece there was a special festival for the
killing of dogs during the season. BY
the procession of the equinoxes the ris-
ing of Sirius has gradually become later,
and in few thousand years it will take
place in the depth of winter.
