AN "ENoCH" INCIDENT.

The Tribune has record of a little
incident that may serve to partially
show the workings of the ''United Or.
der Of Enoch. -
This was in 1877. Those who remem,
her of il at all viii recall that this is
the year in which both Brigham Young
and the "blessed ORDER died. And
it was at Leeds, Utah. which was the
postoffice point for the mining camp
of Silver Reef Some of the boys were
down at Leeds after their mail, and
suddenly they heard a great rumpus
over at ono Of the most substantial
houses in the town. This was Of brick.
and il was surrounded by n good apple
orchard Unnecessary TO state, it was
occupied by the chief Mormon ecclesi-
asst of the village. Several of the
miners rushed over there, imagining
that there were "doings' of inter
csting character. There were An old
chap was gathering in a lot Of apples
from the burdened trees. and the chief
ccclesiast was telling him to get out
and quit stealing his fruit. But the
intruder seemed TO have a Roland for
the chief ecclesiast's Oliver, for he re.

HOME AND DAY NURSERY.

The exercises on Tuesday AZ the
laying OF the corner stone OF the fine
new Orphans Home and Day Nursery,
on tho southeast bench, were in every
way pleasant aud appropriate. The
structure, according 20 the plans, is 20
be a very commodious one, and IL was
betting that all concerned with its
construction and with the work whose
name 10 will bear. and which this
new building VIII so greatly assist,
should take a part in the exercises
which mark the beginning OF a new
era for this humane and necessary
institutional work. The site is very
fine. II is sufficiently retired from the
hubbub Of tho city. and yet it is 70 be
as convenient OF access as any other
of the public or semi-pubhc institu-
tious Of tho city.
Mayor Bransford made sympathetic
address in the best of taste. Judge
King rendered n tribute 10 the women
who have devoted so much Of their
time and energy to this work, and Mrs.
German reviewed the history Of the as
sociation and its work; Mrs. Eliza *.
Royle performed the ceremony of lay.
ing the corners stone. and the articles
deposited in a copper box therein were
all well selected and appropriate TO the
occasion.
The Orphans Home and Day
Nursery is long-cstablished, useful
institution, whose work is quietly done
and is too little appreciated by the
general public All who do know Of its
work. however, and the public at large,
in n just sympathy with the association
and Us cndcavors. rejoice at the sue
cess which has attended the work Of
this institution. Al are glad that il
has thriven so well, and that il is able
20 erect this serviceable and com.
modious structure. Helpful and humane
as tho work Of the Orphans Home and
Day Nursery has been in the past, all
mus, Join in the wish that the past is
Just n beginning, and that its useful
ness VIII expand year by year in i'm
portance and aid as the city grows; and
as tho needs for its services multi
ply, ali must rejoice in the hope
that there will not be wanting ladies of
charitable and sympathetic nature who
will take up this work in its expansion,
and keep this institution in the
front ranks Of things benevolent and
cminently useful.

THANKSGIVING TODAY.

Again we have the great Thanks
giving festival with rs, in tho roll Of
tho year. IL is tho same festival in
general features that all peoples have
had under many names, from the an
cient Feast Of the Ingathcring. as de-
fined and fixed in Scripture But in
later times it has come to be an espe-
cially American festival Of abundance,
under the good old namc Of Thanks
giving.
And right richly has this Thanks
giving Of abundance come 20 this Ma.
tion this year. We arc at peace with
AL tho world. Our high repute among
nations as tho home Of freedom, the
refuge for tho wclI.disposcd oppressed,
has not dimmod in lustor. Our har-
vests have been plentiful. Our mines
have yielded richly. Our industries
arc well and profitably employed, with
prosperous flow Of orders that give
assurance Of activity for months TO
come. Our finances are on a satisfac-
tory footing Our credit is firmly mp
held Our National prestige in every
way was never so high. There is
among tho people throughout all our
land a comfort, security, and confidence
higher than ever before, and unbrokcn
in its hopes for tho future.
Utah shares fully in all these Ma
tional blessings Salt Lake City has
more than its share OF all, and has,
besides. special reasons for rejoicing
in tho magnificent progress the city
is making in growth Of population, in
crease of wealth. activity in munici-
pal Improvements, and n building ac.
tivity which puts IL AZ the head Of all
the cities Of tho United states in sub
stautial buildiEg ircreasc over previous
years. And above all. the city reioiccs
in tho results Of tho recent municipal
election, which assures its continued
progress and high prestige
We can all rejoice, then, with unre.
strained fcrvor today in the enjoyment
Of the blessings of the year, unstintcd
and rich in profusion and value, that
we enjoy in common with all our fcl-
low-citizcns Of this God-bcsscd Re
public
And we can add n special touch Of
warmth to this feryor on our own ac-
count For tho season has dealt well with
us al here. The mines have produced as
before the great slump Of two years
ago The farmers have had big crops,
and have got big prices for them. The
livestock men have had better ranges
for their stock than for many years
past. and have received better prices
for their products than ever before.
Trade has been great and brisk, and
profits have been good.
And so, with full hearts. we Join to-
day with all our fellow-citizens Of this
mighty and glorious Republic. in re.
turning grateful thanks 10 Tho Giycr
Of all Good for His widcly-diffused
and farrcaching benefits and blessings,
as it is both our duty and our heart
felt wish 20 do.

A PAUSE ON NICARAGUA.

We are glad to sec that the admins.
tration is not disposed 70 do anything
rash with respect to Nicaragua. It
would be a reproaoh 10 this country II
our authorities should deal with Mica
ragua on any other basis than that of
international law, such rs could be APP
proved aud applied in any like case as
affecting any other nation. II is quite
right for the Government 10 ascertain
tho status OF the Americans who are
reported TO have been slain by Prosi.

law either military or civil. But II viii
not DO for MS 10 assume that outrage
has been done. legal forms ignored. and
10 lump onto Nicaro qua Just because We
can. II is Of -ho first importance TO
ascertain the facts, aud then act with
dcliheration. strictly within our rights,
Just as We would do il Tho same had
occurred in Spain, France. Italy, or any
other nation The fact that Nicaragua
is n small, helpless state cannot pos
sihly cut any figure in the matter Of
our dealings with that power, so far
MS this matter is concerned. We deal
with Nicaragua on the lines of inter
national law precisely rs we would deal
with any other nation under like cir
cumstanees.
IL is true. OF course. that We do not
accord 90 ho'-hcsdcd and rash people
such as tho Nicaraguans The entire re-
spoct for :hcir courts and administra-
tive Justice that we would accord if

must preserve tho due forms Of inter.
national law and of national comfy
and uropricty.
II Is due 10 our own respect and 20

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

Speaking Of the Mormon tithes, and
the multifarious other contribution

their people, the Deseret News says
that ''Not n cent goes TO the mainte-
nance Of the hierarchy. Every dollar
ia used for benevolent purposes"
Well. II Is something 10 have the
News voluntarily confess that If any
Of the money were expended in main
tenance of the hierarchy, il would not
be spent for a benevolent purpose. But
for that. Of course, il will be obliged
70 make accounting TO the hierarchs
themselves.
Yet the church organ. in another re
speet. is altogether untruthful. II
knows that the members Of the hier.
archy "draw what they need from
these contributions for their support
and for the maintenance OF their stu
pendous families. II will be merely
