A SUNDAY BUNCH.

A few posies gathered from The edi-

and suppressed the publication of it,.
Lie No. ].
The mouth says that The Tribune
ferring TO the Senatorial bargain, in
which Mr.. Salisbury's name was men
toned. Lie No ?. What we said was
that if any apology is due for bringing
up that matter at such a time, the apol-
ogy is due from Apostle Smoot, who
precipitated the discussion by his act
of two days before, IN getting Secre-
tary Garfield to spring mis- Senatorial
boom.
II said that FMr. Frank j. Cannon,
after a long and severe labor, has sus-
pended his newspaper work and that his
effects nave been sent to his home from
the Offices in which he had formerly
been engaged. The Tribune is the
Office referred to, and his effects have
not been removed. Lie No. 3.
II pretended that the stenographic
report of Donaldson s testimony bore
out its charge that Donaldson Caught
the suckers and brought them along,
and that his employer, Mr. Mulvey,
did the rest" Lie No. 4. There is not
the faintest hint of anything of this
sort in Donaldson S testimony
More extensions could be cited; but
the weather is hot, the game is insig-
nifcant, and it isn't worth while to
prove further the noforious fact that

Is aware OF the fact that a man who
refuses to pay is not in good standing.
In other words, the saints salvation is
solely dependent upon cash cousidera-

And that is the rule which the church

truth. And that is taxation without
representation, And the organ of the
Mormon lord knows that is no lie.
Further, whether the payment Of a

the other citizens there or not, that is
precisely what was done by the church

THE NEWS's BAD BREAK.

1t is hard to see what the Deseret
News expected TO gain by its false
presentation Of the clty's finances,
made on Saturday night, Its state
ment that "The city's income for the
year amounts to $l64, ,444,00" is so
transparent falsehood. one so easily
shown to he grossly untrue, that it
even so hardened a liar as the church
organ 10 make it.
Why, in licenses alone the city gets
that much, counting all the license
money. And the tax levy provides
three times the sum stated by the
News, even at the eleven mill rate es-
tablished by the Morris administration,
No doubt the News took pains, in its
grouping of the enormous expenses -
of the American city administration, to
include every possible item Of expense.
We have not checked up on that side
of the account: but In the quest in
which the News was engaged, it would
naturally include everything possible in
order TO pile up the aggregate as high
as possible, and add whatever could be
added to the horrors Of an adverse bal
ance sheet.
Taking its worst and darkest show
ing, therefore, we find that the city
financial condition is first.class. The
city, it says, sis spending $43, JOS ev
cry month in meeting current ex
peuses. But It's years income is at
the rate Of $4,000 a month.
And whereas the News says that the
expenditures for the next six months
will amount TO $25s,ssS. it is evident
that the receipts, counting merely by
average, will reach $345,000.
But, as matter Of fact. and to be
candid about it, the six months start
In with an overdraft of $120,43351.
This, however. is because the taxes are
yet TO come, and as the overdraft on
current account pays no interest, no
harm is done; the bulk of the revenue
comes with taxpaying time, which is
AT its height in the month Of Novem-
her, and which will provide ample
money TO meet all accounts of the year,
as the law requires.

age; that he is on the high road to per
dition; that TO own him would be to
disrespect the priesthood of God.
But the lesson to be drawn is plain.
and il has several features. The hatred
which is set in pursuit of the independ-
emf spirit has no place in any Christian
denomination and it is therefore
hcathcn and is alien TO the teachings
of the one who established the great
work for mankind. Any cause which
must depend upon persecution Of the
unbeliever. as its chief defense, is
based upon wrong principle and must
finally totter TO the ground. And, as
the correspondent concludes. there is
nothing 10 fear from unrightcousness,
provided one have the courage of his
own convictions Finally, instead Of
liberty within the Mormon church there
is slavery; in the place Of benevolent
government there is cruel tyranny. The
priestly cult deserves the opposition of
all decent men, and the more Olsons
there are, the sooner will come dem
onstration Of the truth that falsehood
hypocrisy, and dcceitful injustice must
always yield TO the superior force of
logic, morality and Christian patriotism.
