A SAFE CELEBRATION.

Governor Cutler, in his letter to Mr..

sane celebration of the Fourth of
July, very properly points out that

has become one of massacre. and

confusion and noise that make the

the American Medical Association has
endoavored to collect statistics setting

aEccnEsrAsTIcAL RULE"


The Tribune appeals to the voters In
favor OF the 100000 bond issue on the
ground that there was time when
the city was actually going backward
under the dry rot of ecclesiastical rule"
and that "a magical change came when
the old regime was displaced
Anti-Church publications and orators
have had a grent deal to say about &c
clesiastical rule" and mormon rule =
and they generally represent the CITY
as rctrograding under such rule
Now. the fact is that tho city has
never been under Ecclesiastical rule
That IS to say. church rule has never
been applied TO the City government,
nor to any affairs belonging to the po-
litIcd or civic domain in Utah. The
members Of tho Church have always
kept the two domains separate, and
any allegation 10 the contrary is abso-
lutely false
II Is true. az well known to all. that
there was a time when members Of the
Church were in the large majority and
filed most of the offices in the State
and the various communities. But they
filled those Offices as citizens, not as
church members. They performed
their duties in the state not as church
members but as American citizens. We
beg our critics 10 keep this important
distinction in mind.
Ana that is the time anti-Church
prints refer to as the rule of retrogres-
elon. why, that was the time Of the
most wonderful progress In the history
Of this City and State. That was The
time when the solid foundations were
laid upon which coming generations
can build. That was the time when
hardy settlers were attracted TO these
valleys. That was a time when towns
and cities, temples, schools and homes
appeared IN the wilderness as II by
the touch of magic. That was the time
when railroads. telegraph lines, irr1-
cation canals and roads were con-
structed by the corporation of the
people.
That was, furthermore, time when
honesty was the rule in public offices.
There was no burdensome public debt.
and no extrayagant taxation. And 1t
was n time when liberation and re-
Agious liberty prevailed.
HOW much better would 1t be IL the
organ of grafters could appeal to the
voters on the ground of the economy
and honesty of the administration for
which 1t speaks!
