There is a romantic story attaching
TO the great rope of pearls worn bv the
Princess Fredericka of Hanover at re-
cent functions. They are magnificent
specimens and very old. Centuries
ago princess of the house loved them
SO that they We're buried with her. But
in process of time the great grief of
her relatives grew gradually fainter
and fainter until they began to wills
per what a shame it was that such
glorious jewels should he wasted.
Then one day the princess tomb was
opened and the pearl necklace taken
from her neck But the pearls had
lost their lustre and beauty Their

that three generations of lovely wo-
men would have 10 wear them before
their lustre returned Three lovely
Processes did wear them. and they

The Death Rattle.
(Idaho.State Tribune. J

The mormon hierarchy has shown
that it cannot stand honest criticism
OF the practices and teachings of that
church. ExUnited States Senator
Frank j. Cannon and other prominent
Utah men, who have been active and
leading men in the Mormon church,
have been disfellowshiped by the au-
thorlties of the church for their assail-
ment of the polygamous and political
policies of the leaders of the church.
These men ask their brethren to give
them the opportunity to prove their
assertions, and if not proven they
would accept xcommunication with
out complaint; but Dis plea for right
OF defense and justice was denied
them. This action marks the disin-
tegration of the church and the people
Will be more and more impressed with
the harmful practices and teachings
OF the church and its disobedieno of
the laws of the land, and will lend
their efforts to crush them out. The
doom of the church is sealed by these
accommodations.

NOd1b 14dhC Ll1OoAOsl
The hierarchy takes from two-thirds
of the citizens of Utah ten per cent
of their earnings; and this is equal to
six and wo-thirds. per cent upon the
total earnings of all the State. With
this great fund at their command, they
attempt to say who shall flourish in
business and who shall perish; they
attempt to say what sentiments news
papers shall utter in defense of public
right, or whether they shall be silent
upon matters of public interest; they
attempt by threats of crushing men to
death to ruin some men in their bus
mess and to leave them as one has
done to sob out the remainder OF life
with broken heart.
This church seems to think that
the people here live under an eastern
despot, instead Of living under the
starry banner. We are more actually
the serfs of one man and his unholy
power in Utah, than if we were av-
ages on an island of the Fills; because
in the latter case, under the local
law, we could rise up and eat our
master, instead of being killed and
eaten by him every day.

TAX THE IDLER.

1t is unjust to tax industry and
pay premium on slothfulness.
Every man, or corporation which
holds a valuable lot or franchise for
speculative purposes, and depend on
the industry of others to increase the
value of of his property, is an idler
in the community and should be
taxed as high as the busy industrial
bee who fill his sphere with activity
and creates business for others.
Idle lots in the heart of the bust
ness district and idle franchises held
for speculative purposes should be
taxed until the owners would be
forced to utilize them from sheer self.
protection. The progress of CITY

three selfish idlers. -Pendleton East
