lime of John Calvin; and the Mormon
leaders lived at time when they had
all the advantages OF this progress; but
they all Jagged far in the rear of it.
So that the structures of the News must
necessarily fall flat and utterly fail
of reasonable application.
But the church organ declares that
some consideration should be given to
the circumstances under which the Nor
mon leaders found themselves when
they gave vent TO unpatriotic speech.
Yet the News must again be reminded
that these circumstances were Of their
own making. The Government of the
United States did not compel the Nor
mon leaders TO establish for themselves
state of lawlessness and defiance TO
good government. The Mormon proph.
cts entered that condition of their own
deliberate volition When the Govern
ment determined to bring them within
the law they set up their defiance be,
Tore the people IN their religious SER
mons and IN their political speeches.
They melted the mass Of the church
to rebellion against the country. They
announced their determination TO olive
their religion, as they were pleased to
call their law breaking, in spite Of the
United States. Their utterances
amounted. in some instances. to the
rankeSt treason. And all this because
they had deliberately invited the trou-
bic which came upon them. They lived
at period in the world IS history when
the civilized sentiment of the country
pointed them TO 4 better way than that
which they pursued, Therefore, the
fault was entirely with the Mormon
leaders themselves: and their utter.
ances have been OF such recent express
ion that the Mormon church officials
and newspapers Of today cannot dis
card them as being of no value
The News insists, further, that it
is unfair to take sentences, paragraphs,
or sentiments from their context, and
publish them naked and alone. But
the trouble with the sentences is that
no amount of surrounding text would
help them; no amount of context would
purge them of their grossness and
treason
II is the old trick Of the News and
the hierarchs, however. to discredit
one presentation of principle, if injury
to their unjust cause shall como from
its recognition. And it is a companion
practice to quote these very same men
when momentary advantage can be de-
rived from so doing.
Again, the particular quotations to
which the News objects are in direct
reputation Of the law of the church,
as printed in the Doctrine and Gov
enants, which commands members of
the church to obey the laws of the land,
and which declares that one who obeys
the law Of God has no need to break
the law Of the land. SO it would seem
that the rebelious leaders may be ac-
counted TO be even more culpable on
that very account. And it further goes
to show that when men viciously deter
mine to become a law unto themselves
their religion is of very little value
as restraining agency on their predi-
lection to vice

MANS SPHERE AND DUTY.

Do worldly prosperity and righteous
ness and prosperity go hand in banda
Not always; it depends upon the indi-
vidual. The lazy, the trifing, the
enervate, will not prosper, no matter
how righteous he is. But the energetic,
the foresighted, the active, the diligent,
will prosper in worldly affairs as well
as in his righteousness
1t was long a favorite theory that
the righteous man was entitled TO the
favor of God in temporal affairs, as
well as in spiritual grace. But the
facts observed in life did not bear out
the theory. The wicked prospered, and
the righteous was pinched. An ex-
planation Of this dismaying fact was
sought. The best answer ever given
is in the book of job; and whether
that is entirely satisfactory, depends
upon the point of view. A good many
will hold to the opinion that Job was
treated unfairly in being turned over
to the malevolence Of Satan; and if
this is granted, then the old question
comes on again with renewed force,
For, if the Lord s favorite is to be
turned over TO affliction for no cause
but to give Satan an opportunity to
experiment upon him, then justice and
mercy have lost their functions; the
man is punished when he deserves re-
ward.
In these later times we have from
time to time, and especially here in
Utah, long homilies upon the wicked
ness of the world, and the destruction
and ravage visited upon various peo-
pies because of their wickedness The
Deseret News last year, for example,
(though it often does the like), was
vehement in its claim that the calamity
which came upon San Francisco was
because of the wickedness of that city,
But how did the writer Of that heart
less upbraiding know that the affiic-
tion of San Francisco was not a trial
as Jobs Affections were trial, and
that, like Job, the afflicted city would
not rise resplendent, greater and more
prosperous than ever?
But is there, in fact, any connec-
ton between worldly prosperity and
righteousness The human mind natu-
rally thinks there is. And to the ex-
tent that honesty is the best policy"
there is foundation for the belief in
it. But that human conduct has any
thing TO do with earthquakes, hurri-
canes, tidal waves, and the various
calamities of nature, is unthinkable.
There is a complete lack of connection,
and the record is lacking, Here, for
example, is a clipping that so far as
it goes. proves quite the reverse:
The Chicago Tribune. which has long
specialized in the collection of crime and
casualty statistics, announced this week

showing for the boost given to the

known that Americans are in charge

Nothing more plainly illustrative Of

resentlng the inquiries by the repre-
sentatives of the people as to what the
government was doing in its various
departments and commandsl The
bringing forward of such point as an
excuse for dissolving the Duma as
a grievance of the government, is a
very extraordinary proof that the Gar
and his Ministry do not in the least
comprehend the idea of representative
institutions.
In connection with the dissolution of
the Duma, nine of the sixteen accused
Socialist members wero arrested, and
the other seven were chased TO the
frontier. The government abuses in
connection with the dissolution of this
Duma were so extreme that the Coun,
ell of Administration objected to them.
AS n commentator upon the scenes
says, ''Even the aristocratic Council
of the Empire, which had displayed
symptoms of upeasiness over the pro-
ceedings Of the reactionaries, was pro
rogued until November 18th, tho
meeting of the new Duma" The gov
ernment IS invasion of the Duma with
respect TO the exclusion OF members
Of the Socialist party and in making
their arrest, was clear contempt Of
the inviolability and privileges of
members Of the Duma; which were de-
clared TO be even more extensive than
those for members of our Congress.
Nothing Of the kind could possibly have
been done were the guarantees carried
OUT IN Sood talCn.
The whole history of the Duma in
Russia shows that the Gear, while
afraid to resist the demand for q popular
national assemblage, is determined that
the assemblage shall be subservient to
his will; a mere tool through which he
may oppress the people, precisely as be-
fore the existence of any such a body.
This is merely the usual order in this
sort of conflict. 1t is the usual CON
comitsnt of the evolution OF repre-
sentative government. IT has been
seen everywhere among all peoples
where popular institutions have begun

THE DUMA SURVIVES.

Although the second Duma in Rus
sia has been extinguished with Pc
cuharly spectacular and pyrotechnical
accompaniments, the fact remains that
the Duma survives as recognized
Russian institution. Autoeratlc as the
Gear is, viciously despotic as has
Ministers are, they still do not dare to
dissolve one Duma without the promise
Of the election and assembling Of an
other. 1t has always been the case
that the beginnings of popular as
semblages have been more or less
suubbed and trihed with by kings and
emperors, but the fact always remains
that once this popular assemblage
comes it has come to stay; and that
is the encouraging thing in the Rus
sian situation today
The reasons for the dissolution of
this Duma were peculiarly and
atrociously Russian. Premier Stolypin
had the hall in which the Duma as
sembled guarded by troops all the
time; the members were under police
and military surveillance from first
to last, and yet they would not
yield to the governments demands.
especial detail of troops to surround
the hall and the building, and he an
nounced to the Duma that the entire
Socialist party, ffty-fve strong, must
be expelled, and the arrest of six
teen of its members, whom he named,
authorized This was because of an
allegation that he had discovered
conspiracy TO dethrone the Gar and
set up Republic. Unless the Duma
would Immediately yield to this de-
mand, Stolypin declared that it
would be dissolved. The Duma re-
fused to take any immediate action,
but appointed a committee to hear the
governments evidence. This commit
tee met, and the government presented
it's case, 1t was apparent that the
Cars government could not substan-
tiate its claim of the conspiracy, be-
cause, without waiting for the report

that the Car did not rely alone upon
his charge of the conspiracy stated
by Premier Stolypin and the refusal to
act on it at once, as his reasons for
dissolving the Duma. He dissolved it
because it would not yield to his
will. The acts of lnsubordination on
the part Of the Duma are given by
him as follows: ''Its rejection of
temporary laws; its refusal to condemn
political murders; its delay in ratifying
the budget; the revolutionary spirit of
many of its members; its abuse of the
right of Interpolation; its failure to
comply at once with the government S
demands in connection with the So
ciaIist Members
This last evidently refers to the re-
fusal Of the Duma to act on the eX
parte claim of the government as to a
conspiracy which the government
could not sustain when it was given
an opportunity before the committee.
The claim Of the "abuse of the
right Of Interpolation merely
means that the members wanted to

ernment, as they had right to know,

parts Of the town. The beginning Of
house buildings, the ''Boston' and the
"Newhouse,' was a feature of the
week. The fact that Mr. Newbouse
saves a good deal Of money by buy
ing the stone for the construction OF
these buildings in Indiana and hav-
ing it shipped to this city, besides
insuring prompt delivery in such
quantities as are needed, has caused
some talk. There are those who claim
that Mr., Newhouse should have taken
Utah stone. But the fact is, that al
though there is plenty Of good build
ing stone in Utah-none better any
where-there ara no quarries opened
to sufficient degree TO insure
prompt delivery of large quantities as
needed Mr. Ncwhouse s contract
stipulates to have the stone delivered
within three months: no Utah con-
Germ could promise it inside Of two
years. The fact is, that most of the
building for some years past has been
with brick, stone being used mainly
for the foundations. This has not re-
CURED the opening on an extensive
scale of any Of the great quarries,

| Fork, Park City. or elsewhere The
| limestone quarries near by the city
have been called upon to some extent
TO furnish stone for macadamizing, and

upon these limestone deposits for the
burning Of lime; but there has been
| little demand for stone for building
purposes for q good while past, and
! there has never been such demand for
stone here as would Justify the open
ing Of the quarries on the extensive
scale that the delivery for such struc-
lures as Mr.. Newhouse 8 would re
quire With vast quantities of ex,
cellent building stone to be had IN
Utah, there is no doubt but that the
time will come when Utah stone will
be famous for building purposes, and
will be extensively used. But that
time is not yet.

The public improvements going on
here are admitted. even by the enemies
of the administration, to be on more
extensive and elaborate scale than ever
before And it is also admitted that
everything is being done in good,
substantial style, and at an economy
of cost which is in every way praise
worthy. Street paving, sidewalk build
ing, and sewering, all are part of
the programme, and all arc progressing
in magnificent shape.
The real estate market is in excel
lent form, with good sales reported al
most daily in different parts of the
city. One of the most prominent Of
the sales during the week was that,

tract 1l5 feet square, facing west on

posed new Oregon Short Line depot.

The extensive ore reducing plants
that are being put in at the point of
the mountain west of the city, near
the old Garfield bathing resort, are
progressing in fine shape. There will
eventually be In that location ore re-
duction works equal to any in the
world In the meantime the old
smelters in the valley are also doing
excellent work, but they are being
harassed more or less by the farmers
who demand from them the value Of
the crops that they might have raised,
and also the value of the crops
they have actually raised and have
marketed in this city. The fact that
farm lands in the smoke and fume
belt, which is supposed to be so
subject to damage from smelter
fumes and smoke, is held at higher
price than any other land in the val
ley, even where any price at all is set
on it, shows that the farmers have
found a good thing in their crop rails
ing in that belt, and in their collection
Of damages because they could not
raise crops, The same is true wherever
it is proposed to put up a smelter or
any kind of ore reducing plant. The
utmost secrecy has TO be observed
with respect to the location about
to be selected in order TO prevent an
extravagant, if not prohibitive, raise
in the price of the land. All these
facts prove that the alleged damage to
agricultural operations by smelter
fumes and smoke is mythical, and that
the lands, by reason Of the crops that
can be raised upon them and the dam
ages easily collectible because no crops
could be raised, make those lands the
most profitable TO their owners of any
that can be found.
