SINFUL TEA-DRINKERS.

a recent letter from President Joseph

relief societies OF his community, di-
rects the women OF the church to OBJ

that 1t was a revealed word of God in
hibdting the Use OF tea and coffee This
precious piece OF instruction from the
prophet. seer and revelator notifies the
good women OF tho church that none
of them Will be permitted to servo as

they violate the word Of wisdom" by
any indulgence In the inhibited bever-
ages.
What moralist in or out OF the Nor
mon church can fail TO endorse this
beautiful. although stern, decree OF tho
prophet. seer. and revelator7
Think Of the barbarity, think of tho
horror OF the spectacle presented by
some aged and sainted woman OF the
relief societies OF tho Mormon church
journeying through the Zion OF the
mountains, in prairie schooner OF by

tempting TO revive her shattered
physique by a cup Of wicked teal Now
II she could only take her recreation by
attending a prize fight. as the prophet
himself does, II she could gather her
cheer and inspiration from the f1stic
arena, there would be nothing to crit
icize. Smith himself would commend
this. as he has endorsed 1t by the ex-
ample OF himself and children. But a
cup or coffee at breakfast before start
Ing on a long, hard journey, or a cup
OF tea at evening time between the
meetings at which the relief society
missionary preaches-such offense is
not to be tolerated by the holy prophet
And the woman who will recklessly do
such an iniquitous thing may no longer

Evening Post.
VIII the Deseret News, the official
organ OF the Mormon church and the
mouthpiece OF the prophets. seers, and
revelators. kindly reply to this2 A
careful dissertation showing that the
prophets of the church knew all the
time of the San Francisco calamity
knew when and how 1t was coming. but
were under divine mandate not to COM
muuicate the information to the world
would make interesting reading,
1t will be recalled by those who read
The Tribune of Saturday morning at
tentively that the idea OF the Deseret
News, concerning the revelation on
y
On High" was only for the select few,
and that 1t would be casting pearls
before swine" to make the communica-
ton broadly to humanity until human
ity had gained It's Information by 9TH
er means.
The organ of the Mormon church has
repeatedly insisted since the earth
quake and fire in San Francisco that
these events were but the fulhllment
OF the revelations conferred by heaven
upon tho prophets OF the Mormon
church. And its application of its own
argument concerning the Withholding
from the world OF the revelation on
polygamy would be the most plausible
answer to the inquiry made by the New
York Evening Post
According 10 the pretensions of the
polygamous cult the whole world was
being damned because it did not prac-
tice polygamy and yet 1t was not the
duty or even the right OF any elder to
communicate the doctrine toN the
world which was being condemned for
not obeying II. 1t would be casting
pearls before swine" to let the world
know of its danger and of the sancti-
fed road for escape
Similarly the prophets knew all about
the coming calamity In San Francisco;
they had a revelation from On High.
They knew that the city was to be

A MODEL CITY.

San Francisco has the opportunity OIL
q millennium to show to the world how
the model great city should Dc ouiI'
so far as architecture is concerned.
She will. of course, sec to 1t that note
but absolutely flre-proof structures arc
erected in the business district But
architecturally something more than
this is to be desired.
1t is the universal fault OF American
cities that the skyline" Is wretch-
ed; that great and Irregular gaps
appear; that there is here and there a
sky-scraper, and that nothing ap-
preaching the skyline" Of a forest,
for instance. which may BIO taken as on
ideal line. and nothing to match
fairly regular mountain range skyline
can be found In a city. But city
should be as even In this respect ns a
and should present an Ideally perfect
skyline. Such n line. OF course, would
not need to be absolutely even, a jut-
ting dome or a spirc, or a gracefully
made height that would correspond to
the peaks OF a mountain line would add
a touch of inharmony here and there
that would destroy monotousness and
add to the general agreeable effect
No city In this country has anything
but an atroclous skyline. Few cities
in tho world are much better But
San Francisco has now the opportunity
to become the ideal city OF the world
In this respect, and also in respect to
providing absolute safety from fire II
is something we'll worth considering,
and we trust that the eminent archi-
tects who have been called in to consult
about the rebuilding OF the now city
VIII not neglect this easily attainable
and desirable beauty

THE REGULAR SOLDIER.

All the testimony is uniform as to
the effectiveness, discipline, and inval-
liable services of the regular soldiers
in the great calamity at San Francisco
They were well and ably directed; they
performed their duty quietly, effect
lively and without friction. 1t was
clear business with them: they were
on the ground to preserve order. and
they preserved 1t, They respected
themselves, and were respected by all
They were not obtrusiye. but no one
presumed upon their quiet behavior to
transgress orders or to impose upon
them. we'll knowing that 1t would be
useless. There is no instance OF their
abusing any one. and while the reck-
less and brutal Guards were shooting
down defenselcsS and lnoffenaive clti-
zens, the regular troops found no need
10 harm any one. And their efficiency,
saved what was saved or the afflicted
city prevented outlawry and pillage.
and protected persons all save those
who unfortunately fell into tho abused

power OF the miserable, irresponsible
Guards
The service thus rendered by the
regular troops establishes the fact that
even In times OF peace the army can
and does render conspicuous service TO
the public. aside from its good service
as a constant reminder OF the bene-
fcial effects of good training, discipline
and soldlerly obedience. In the great
Chicago fre. as the Tribune OF that
city reminds the public, the regulars
furnished by Gen Sheridan to pre-
serve order prevented that city from
becoming a greater hell than 1t was
And the same is true OF San Fran

A CHANGE OF NEED.

Doubtless thero will bo need OF help
In San Francisco for some time: and
quite as certainly that help VIII be at
forded. The aid already forwarded Is
ample, save only in few articles large
supplies OF which have been or are De
ing forwarded. The money already
sent I'm Is Of but little immediate use,
but II will be OF immense service later
on, and so will the money subscribed
and not yet forwarded. We take IL
that those in charge Of moneys or sup
plies heretofore subscribed VIII feel III
duty bound to forward the same TO
San Francisco. as II was announced
that they would do.
But it is probable that this Will be
ample for the relief OF that city and its
inhabitants Joined to the relief that Is
to come. The California Legislature
has been called in special session, and
will no doubt, make liberal provision
for the helping OF tho stricken city OF
It's own. Presently, Also Jne insurance
money. which will probably amount to
over Il hundred million dollars, Will be-
gin TO be paid over. That WIZ give the
city tremendous impulse forward,
and from that point the city can help
Itself. And until that time. 1t seems
that the city Is pretty well provided

Utah has been free-hearted, gener-
Gus, In responding to the call of hu-
manity. Her donations have been
large to the stricken city and Its peo-
pie. The need of help. so far as UtSh
is concerned. has taken on a new
phase. the refugees from San Fran
Cisco who are coming by train-loads,
need help. and this is being extended
