REVERSE JUDGMENTS.

A man who has watched things in
Utah for more thar a third OF a cen.
tury tells The Tribune that the article
from the Manti Messenger and The
Trlbune's comments thereon open up
to old-timers the everlasting question
here. He remembers when every man
who opposed the purposes Of the Nor.
mon church was denounced as having
all of evil and nothing of good; then
when it became necessary sixteen years
ago to compose the difference between
the Nation and the church this same
entirely evil man and all his class were
begged to enter into party division.
and every one who did 80 discovered
heretofore unknown virtues to the
Mormon vision; and still later, when
all these same men found that all the
pledges had been broken and that tho
political division had come to be q
farce, and when they realigned them.
selves IN opposition to church domin-
Ion In this State, once more they were
denounced as "murderers and liber-
tines" to quote the favorite expression
OF some OF the Mormon prints and
preachers.
This is what the old~timer sees in
the situation in sanpete county, as de.
scrlbed by the Manti Messenger. That
paper berrays the facts that the men
whom il now vilifes as immoraIists and
assassins have been, since the dissolu
tlon OF the Liberal party, elevated to
important office by Mormon votes in
sanpete; evidently they stood high in
the affections and trust of the people;
evidently they were commended as
worthy citizens by the local ecclesiasts
and the general powers that be. AS
soon, however, as there is q tendency
for the organization Of the American
party, the best words that the Mormon
prints can find for these American citi
zens are "murderers and libertines.''
IT is not unnatural. therefore, for the
old-timer to remark: "Thouah your

IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

Boston Herald.
In the Government year which ended
on June 30 the number OF immigrants
landing at the single port OF New YORK
was greater than the population OF any
city In the United States excepting Ne"
York. Chicago and Philadelphia. IL was
in excess of the combined population OF
the three largest cities In Massachu-
setts-Boston, Worcester and Fall Riv-
er II was greater than the population
OF New Hampshire and Vermont united,
or the population OF sixteen OF the
States of the Union. The total an
nounced from the immigration ONCE !or
New York City was s50. 0.000-the first time
in history that the 800 900 mark has been
exceeded or even equalled. More immi-
grants landed at New York last year
than arrived in this country at all ports
combined in any year OF our history eX-
cepting 1905 and 1903 In the latter year
the figures for the whole United States
ouly exceeded those for New York last
year by 1000. These statements show the
immensely OF the problem OF absorbing
and assimilating such an enormous num-
ber OF aliens In single twelyemonth.

IN THE DEPTHS AGAIN.

The school board, it appears, faces

by that body, is surprising. One would

in salaries or other expenditures. Yet

there was no danger 10 the taxpayer in
yielding the power asked, for the board
would not use the enlarged taxation
limit unless IL was absolutely uuavoid-

found that the utmost limit of reve-

that the board does not exercise that

SO SOON!

IT would be too serious a reflection
upon the intelligence and care which
are exercised by the President Of the
United States, in appointing, and by
the Senate of the United States, in
confirming, Federal officials TO give any
credence whatever to the accusations
against Hon. Hiram II. Booth. recently
selected and now acting as United
States District Attorney for Utah.
And yet IL is most unfortunate that
Mr. Booth foes himself under the
necessity Of explaining, through the
pubic prints, his connection with
certain land company, the name of
which has been mentioned in CON
junction with the frauds upon the Gov
ernment. The present United States
District Attorney now avows that he
was merely president of the land com
pany in question at the instance of a
friend and client; that he purchased
ten shares of stock at ten cents share
investing therein and therefor the
sum of one dollar; that he received no
salary for his official services, but, as
legal adviser, collected foes
The general expression is one of great
sorrow that Mr.. Booth felt impelled to
make such hurried and elaborate ex-
plantations. At tho same time q great
public service may have been uninten-
tionally rendered by the distinguished
District Attorney in explaining how
the investment of ono dollar in a big
land company equips man to become
its president, without salary, and its
legal adviser, for pay. OF all the
transactions of high finance recently
reported in the papers this is the
frosting on the cake
Also, there is current throughout the
West an expression like this. "See
