THE ASSESSMENT FIGURES.

The qualification at the increase in
the assessment valuation for this city
is marred by the evident injustice per
pertatcd against this city in that in
creased assessment 1t will he rcmem-
bercd that tho farmers of this county
represented in their suits against the
smelters that their farms were being
injured, the values of them destroyed,
and their industry ruined by the smctcr
smoke, and that if the nuisance Of this
smoke could be abolished, their farms
would take on greater value, their in
dustry would thrive, And their pros.
pcritS would be assured. The farmers
were successful in their suits, they got
punitive damages, and the smoke was
abated, And now, in place of the farm
valuations outside Of the city incgeas
ing, as it was promised to do on the
abatement of the smelter smoke, we
find that no such result has followed,
and that the increase of about $3,0G0,-
600 is added almost entirely from this
city
II is a magnificent increase. but It is
hardly fair 10 the city as compared
with the farming communities OF the
county outside. When we reci;e further

by almost unanimous vote. passed
prohibition bill. And vet when the
+! question came to be a real issue later
! on only about one-third of the mem
bershiP could be rallied for prohibition
Whv9 Simply because, it had been as
certaincd that Joseph L, Smith did not
want prohibition. and that the higher
authorities of the church would not
stand for such legislation
1t was understood all along that Gov
crnor Spry would veto prohibition bill
if ono was passed, That meant that he
understood fully the position of the
higher priesthood. 1t meant that he
knew that thc compact made by the
Federal bunch with the liquor deal
crs to get the liquor vote last fall for
the church S local ticket was approved
by President Smith and that good faith
with the liquor men must he kept
In view of all these facts, and OF
others that are equally notorious, 1T Is
indeed singular piece Of idiocy on the
part of the Smoot "Mouth TO come
out with a claim that the failure TO
pdSS "a 1lTUnlDllInn Ia AT lut iCNNnI SNE'S
sion of the Legislature was proof that
the church is not in politics. and does
not undertake TO control in civil affairs.
II is positive proof to tho contrary OF
the very things that the Mouth -
brings forward. If the leading authorl-
tise Of the church had, in fact, been
earnestly for prohibition, there is not
the least doubt in the world but that
prohibition bill would have passed the
Legislature and been signed by the
Governor, For in that case Governor
Spry would have known that the presi-
dent of the church did not agree to the
compact with the liquor dealers, and he
would have seen that his only hope for
political future in this State was to
how his neck to the hlcrarch S yoke, and
sign the bill which they desired.

THE SULTAN HEADED OFF.

The Turkish insurrcction bids fair to
subsidc without any great nphcaval.
And the Sultan is, we hope, pcrma ncnt'
" retired as a dcspotic autocrat- The
Young Turks were too swift for him,
aud were quick 10 call in their reserves
of the army and oyerawc the Sultan s
guards, which had been misled by hes
and calumnies to rise against the re-
form party. The Sultan s troops IN
Constantinople were told that the Young
Turks were desirous Of subverting the
national religion and of debasing Mo-
hammedanism in the presence of CHRIS
tlanity. AS soon as the troops In Con
stantinople were convinced that they
had been miSlcd. they deserted their
barracks and no longer consented to be
used by the plotters.
We fully believe that the Sultan was
at the bottom of the insurrectiou; that
it was planned aud launched with his
approval and support, We believe that
the Armenian massacres. were planned
by him and executed by his orders for
the purpose Of creating a diversion
against the Young Turks, in order to
take advantage Of that diversion in his
own interest, We believe, further. that
lie had in view the fomenting Of strife
between the Greeks and the Young
Turks. This because the Armenians
and the Greeks Joined with the Young
Turks for the purpose Of enforcing the
constitution upon him and compelling
his assent TO il.
But the Young Turks with their al
lies were too swift for Abdul Hamid
They disabused the garrisous OF Cou
stantinoplc of the misconceptions which
had been imposed upon them, and called
IN the army Of the constitution from the
outlying provinces. And now it seems
that all is serene, that the Young Turks
are triumphant, and that the Sultan s
hands are tied so he can do no more
mischief.
The immediate result of the triumph
OF the Young Turks Will doubtless be
the instant cessation Of the Armenian
massacrcs, with the punishment of those
who were immcd lately charged with the
outrages. And then we expect TO see
the constitutional regime put through in
due form, with the Young Turks tri-
umphant throughout the empire, And
in this triumph there will be liberation

PROOF IN REVERSE.

Continuing its "argument' against
the American party the Smoot
Mouth yesterday morning cited, as
an evidence that the Mormon church is
not III control of politics, the fact that
no prohibition law was passed at the
recent session Of the Legislature. This
is exceedingly grotesque; it is even hui
morous. The idea that the Mormon HE.
rarchs are not in control because pro-
hibition law that they did not want,
failed TO pass, is one of those idiotic
arguments of which the "Mouth -
seems TO be so full.
There was never al any time any
serious intent among the chief authori-
tics Of the Mormon church to have a
prohibition law passed. 1t is true that
somo of the minor ccclesiasts made n
good deal of outcry in support Of pro
hibition law. 1t is true that Apostle He.
bcr j. Grant made himself particularly
notorious in this behalf. But il is also
true that whenever Hcber j, Grant
comes out openly in that manner,
ly means something just the opposite.
Heber j., in his Brigham City speech,
claimed that all of the twelve except
one were for prohibition. In his speech
at I.ehi he practically designated Smoot
as the one who was not with the others
of the twelve for prohibition. And yet
the eleven. did not come out for prohibi-
ton. in fact, it soon became an open
secret that President Joseph +. Smith
was not for prohibition. in spite of the
! fact that Heber j. claimed, in his Brig
ham City speech, that President Smith
was with him in his alleged fight foI
| prohibition, 1t has since transpircd
that President Smith had said in re
! cent speech at Manti that ''pcrsona1
reformation is better than enforced pro
hbitionn
Up TO certain time, the Dcseret
News, organ of the church, seemed
fierce for prohibition. Then one even
ing it published rumor claimed TO bc
afloat that it was going to be "called
off, on this question, But it pro
tested that it would never be called off
and yet, while protesting il would
he 'er consent, consented. And from
that day its zeal for prohibition coulc
hardly be seen, even with micro
scope.

Or course, it will all depend upon how
much value Mr., Sutherland attaches TO

political advantage in it to him, he

is for George, even though as Elder
kImball says. George is for the church
we must await higher confirmation.
And that, most likely, will largely de-
pend upon whether or not Apostle Hy-
rum Smith is disposed TO blab on the
subipci
