IN NEW YORK TOO.

| Ministers once in a while deliver
| themselves of TRADES against the cities
| and States in which they live. Not
| long ago California papers had to re-
Duke one reverend gentleman for ma
| ligning the people there. Utah preach
ers, forgetful of the vast change time
has brought, sometimes denounce in
terms more forceful than expressive of
truth the people among whom they are
supposed to seek friends and converts,
with the result that they turn the
hearts of the people away from them.
But Utah and the "Mormons" are not
the only victims of misguided minister
ial zeal.
Recently a Rev. DR.. F. NJ. Morse of
New York preached a sermon in which
he endeavored to impress upon his
hearers that 1.-The devil is the greatest
worker in that immense city. Even
the arts and sciences, he said, were at
the service of the prince of darkness.
The introduction of electric cars, for
instance, had increased the Sabbath
dissertation 30 per cent and drunkenness
% per cent. And so on.
The cause of all this is, in his view, the
Roman Catholic church. On this point
he is quoted as follows:
1--WE talk about the worshipers at the
shrine of Hermes, the patron of thieves;
of burning incense to Venus, to Bac-
chus, the god of drunkards; but all
these things exist in our city today. I'm
der Pope Hildebrand the priests of
Rome created castles somewhat akin to
those of India. The priests of Rome in
tend to do the same thing in America.
They will not cease working till they
eXalt the papacy above the civil power.
While Christians sleep, Romanists are
at work. While politicians are strug-
Cling for place and power the priests of
Rome are conniving how they may cor
rupt the guardians of public funds and
win appropriations for the support of
their institutions. AS long as Satan can
blind the American people this unholy
work will go on. The Roman hierarchy
is monopoliZing learning and wealth,
and is as much determined to keep the
masses in ignorance. poverty and serv-
itude as in the early centuries. One of
the devils strongholds is right here,
and he was never more active than now
in trying to unite the powers of the
State and of a corrupt church"
Evidently the Rev. gentleman must
regard New York as heather city,
though it is not under the influence of
'Mormonism." When fanaticism is
abroad, it considers but little what is
its object of attack, whether the church
of Rome or any other disliked denom-
nation

METHODIST RESOLUTIONS.

1t was not to be expected that the
Methodist conference in this city would
adjourn without its little venomous
fling at 'Mormonism." That will be
found in another part of this issue of
the Deseret News. OF course the re-
ligion of the Latter-day Saints had to
be held UP to ridicule, and this could
not be done without recourse to abso-
lutte untruth in addition to a distortion
of doctrine. Commencing with a pre-
tended explanation of Mormon ideas
of Deity, it goes on to misrepresent, ex-
aggerate and pervert other matters. We
need to mention only one glazing false
hood, to show what reliance can be
placed on the whole Illumination. 1t
says that in Mormon theology
1.-THE Holy Ghost is not a person"
| The doctrine and Covenants, which
is one of the Mormon standards,
says:
1.-THE Holy Ghost has not a body of
| flesh and bones but is a PARSONAGE
| of spirit
1t will be found in all the attempts
of sectarian preachers to deceive the
public as to Mormon doctrine, the
real standards of our faith are usually
avoided, and the personal opinions of
individuals are cited-often in garbled
form-as the doctrines of the Church.
We have frequently published the fact
that the Bible, the Book of Mormon,
the Doctrine and Covenants and the
Pearl of Great Price, are the accepted
written standards of doctrine and dis
cipline, and the Church is not bound
by other works, which may contain ar
guments, testimonies and declarations
profitable for consideration, but are not
necessarily authoritative. Our detrac-
tors, however, pay little or no attention
to this distinction.
The field which Utah offers for earn
est true aggressive Christianity re-
ceives much attention from the Method
list conference, and no one here objects to
its cultivation. But Misrepresentation of
the people and their faith, will not be
likely to give the Methodist workers in
it much more satisfaction than they
have gained in the past. Their failures
they attribute to the Mormon hear
chy' which they say "holds the people
with an iron grip" some of the preach
ers having lost their flocks entirely, ac-
count for their desertion in the same
way. 1t is utterly false. The Latter
day Saints are perfectly free to attend
Methodist and other meetings as they
please, but the utter lack of interest
in those meetings freeze out sensible
people, and no one wants to hear their
own faith falsely exposed and derided
very often.
The reason given for no better results
to Methodist preaching in Utah is
laughable. Removal out of the State

THE NUMBER OF DEAD.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says the government is now in
possession of complete records of deaths
among the troops in the Philippine
Islands up to the first of August.
The entire number is as. OF these,
6S4 were enlisted men and IL were Off
GERS; 253 were killed in battle, 20 of
them having been officers and 233 ,pri-
vate soldiers. Ten officers and 50 en-
listed men died from the effects of
wounds. Those who died from disease
numbered $50, of whom IL We're Off
GERS.
This death rate is extraordinary low.
1t is about two per cent of the entire
army, a proposition which would be
equalled in any city of 10000 inhabi-
tants. Probably there is no war on
record in which the sacrifice of life has
been less than this.
When the campaign again is COM
menced, probably the list of fatalities
will be longer, in case the insurgents
are determined to make further resist
ance. They are steadily learning to
aim better, and their valor is not
doubted. Through their defeats they
will gradually learn modern warfare,
until they become more formidable
than they have been hitherto.

THE SALT PALACE.

The Salt Palace opening is announced
for tonight. The projectors of that en-
terprise are entitled to great credit for
the energy, determination and good
management they have displayed in the
work from the commencement. Fail
ing in obtaining the ground which at
first appeared to them most desirable.
II not essential to success, they secured
a place which in our opinion is prefer
able in every way to that originally Sc
1ected. The situation is better; it is
easy of access; it is suitable for the
purpose; It is ample in acreage; it has
proved to be the very spot for the end
in view, and success has attended it
from the moment it was decided upon.
The work of preparation, enclosure and
building has progressed rapidly. The
cycle ground and races have proved an
immense attraction. The Palace will
be gorgeous affair. 1t will draw peo-
pie into this city from afar. The COM
pany will be we'll repaid for their out
lay, and business interests will be pro-
NOTED while the providers of amuse-
ments will doubtless gather a good
harvest. The program for the open
ing exercises is interesting and attrac-
tive, and IF the weather permits will
be enjoyed by an immense throng.
The Deseret News congratulates the
management on the skill, ability and
good judgment exhibited in this enter
prise, and hopes and expects that they
will reap therefrom a rich reward.

at johannesburg the treatment of the
In evidence of this position letter to
the Christian World is quoted. 1t says:
THE unmitigated brutality of the
Boer to the Kaffir would, if known, de-
tach from the Boer the sympathy Of
every merciful man. On Wednesday
last three Dutchmen knocked a Kaffir
down in public street. jumped on him,
and trod on his face as if they would
puddle it. Passers-by appealed to a
policeman to interfere. but he not only
point-blank refused but stood leering
while the poor wretch was nearly muir
dered. Any day will witness crowd
perhaps one hundred black wretches
being driven between mounted police
men to the Jail for the artificial crime
of being without a pass or with pass
improperly filled in. These are mat
tiers of general notoriety, and indisput-
able by every one who knows the Boer.
And many of these poor Kaffirs are the
children of British South Africa, De-
moraliZed by poisonous liquor and by
the immortality of this city they go back
to their homes carrying horror into eve

Should war break out. the civilized
world has received notice through the
Gazette, that Great Britain's chief mo-
tive is the elevation of the poor KAT
fir from condition of servitude to one
of equality with the white population.
The fact should be of special interest
to those sections of the United States
where the colored population is treated
with small consideration.

thereby inflicted upon the canal COM
panies and people in the southwest. is
not forgotten, and the end is not yet.
The expense and trouble entailed upon
those people were a great shock to the
great majority of the residents of this
and adjoining counties, and the de-
cision rendered was so remarkable as
to give rise to expressions that we will
not now repeat.
The spirit in which the suit was
planted, the manner in which it was
pushed to an issue, the errors that
were permitted to prevail, and the in
justice that was done to the defend
ants in the suit, arise now in the public
mind, and do not aid in creating con-
fidence in the present movement, to
raise funds for the reclamation of the
doubtful soil which it is now proposed
to subject to further experiment.
