"REVEALED" SCIENCE.

The Tribune rs in receipt of the fol
lowing letter, which is in partial con
firmation of replies which VIC made tt
certain inquiries submitted short tim,
ago, and which will be recalled upon 4
reading of the subjoined communica

Editor The Tribune noticed in your

many readers was making ar inquiry as

earth. but L have been taught To believe

earth at the north pole. and that "tbc

theory: and he further taught that there
was an 9steroid out In space up there
which Travelled in very small orbit and
reflected the suns light and heat into
the depression, which caused luxuriant
growth of everything nccdful to support

due time OF the Lord the tribes would
como out of there and would fight the
battles OF the saints.

TIE COUNCIL ON COAL.

The Tribune yesterday morning made
an emphatic demand to know "Why
do Federal and State officials protect
the coal trust7" The Tribune g posi-
tion has always been in favor of the
control Of trust operations by the pub
lie authority 1t believes in curbing the
greed of the trust. managers and the
bosses of combines. 1T is opposed also
to bossism in politics, and to the con-
troll of public affairs and the politics
Of the State by the church or any other
intrusive organized force. IL believes
that the people should be free to man
age their own affairs in their own way,
confident that they will do what is
wisest and best.
In Immediate response TO The 'Trib-
une S demand to know why Federal and
State officials protect the coal trust
the Salt Lake City council on Monday
evening passed resolution calling upon
the city attorney to try to get the State
officials to take such action as the law
empowers them to take for the relief
Of the people. The Tribune is glad to
see the city take hold of this matter
In the right spirit, and apply to the
right source The State officials are the
doubt. Their action is the action con-
templated by law, and is taken in pur-
suanee of their authority as State Off
GERS, and in the exercise of their duties
as such.
This is a wholly different thing from
the action of the scheming Federal
bunch and its organ in undertaking to
blackmail the coal and Transportation
companies. As We have pointed out, the
Federal bunch with its organ has been
proceeding in this matter on lines pre-
cisely the same as it conducted it's
bIackmailing prohibition campaign on
two years ago, Its purpose then was
blackmail and it achieved that PURPOSE
by frightening the liquor men into pay
ing money TO itself aud TO the bunch
to ward off prohibition legislation. It's
object this year is precisely the same,
to blackmail the companies concerned,
and in case of success it would be GER
la to do with respect to this matter
exactly what it did with respect to the
prohibition question when it had
achieved its blaekmailing purpose; that
is, desert it's own propaganda for cash.
That scheme of blackmail is alto
gether aside from the action taken by
tho council for public relief. In fact,
the public would get no relief from the
blackmailers, but would be likely to be
all the more oppressed since the COM
bines would want to get back from the
public the money they had paid to the
blackmailers. But we do not believe
that the blackmailcrs will win this time
Tho Tribune IS objection TO the raise
in coal rates was promptly stated, on
the raise being made. It's objection
was economic, and for the protection of
the people. 1t was solely in the public
| interest.
We consider that the action taken by
the council was on precisely the same
basis, for the relief of the people with
out any ultcrior motive, political or
otherwise, having no connection what
ever with the Federal bunch or its
Matchmaking organ. And so, we heartily
commend the action of the council in
passing the resolution that calls upon
| the CIty attorney tO Bep IL he paunof

THE BURLINGTON AGAIN.

We arc glad to sec revival Of the
report that the Burlington railroad is
actively planning to build TO Salt Lake
; city. AS stated in Tho Tribune news
! columns yesterday, there arc two eml-
\ ncntlY feasible routes through which
! tho Burlington could roach this city.
! The easiest, The shortest. aud probably
! sll things considered the preferable
route: is from some point on its line in
Wyoming. following up tho North
Branch Of the Platte and the Swrctwa-
! ter through by Contenellc through to
and down Ogden CANYON. II is under
stood that former surveys have shown
this route to be not only practicable
but one of the best in the whole noun
tain country.
The alternative proposition would be
10 continue the Colorado Midland west
ward to Utah as was first planned. When
| tho Colorado Midland was built an
auxiliary company, called the Utah Mid
land was formed here. The avowed
purpose al that time was TO continue the
Midland to Salt Lake, but this failed,
Surveys were made, however, that
showed the line 10 be feasible, and tho
projected route Immediately east of US
was down Emigration canyon This line
would be inst as good, Just as service,
able rs the extension from Wyoming,
but would cost more to build. and would
require longer line Of construction.
The significance of the revival of this
report lies in the fact, often stated IN
these columns, that all of The great mid
continent transcontincutal lines must
build TO Salt Lake. At present they
have 10 leave and take their transcon
tiuepta freight for the most part, at
10 the coast. BY building TO Salt Lake
City, the Burlington, Northwestern. or
any Of the mid continent lines would
have a thousand miles more of haul on
their own tracks for trauscontinental
business than they have now, They
would have, also. at this point, choice
of two direct lines 10 San francisco,
another line to Portland and another
line to Los Angeles; SO that in place OF
dealing with one line exclusively for
their transcon tinental business, they
would have choice of four, and they
would have such a tremendous addition
to the length of freightage on their own
tracks, as would mako it a good eco
nomic proposition to build TO Salt Lake
City TO get that advantage.
We believe that not only the Bur
lnctou but the Chicago & Northwestern,
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, and
the Rock Island roads must all build to
Salt Lake City within a very few years,
in order to get the advantages referred
to. And so. while welcoming the Bur
lngton with hearty fcrvor and antici-
pating, as the news report leads us to
anticipate, the formal and official an
nouncemcnt next spring that the Bur
Iington is expected to make Of the
building of its line to Salt Lake, we
await beyond that, also, with the same
confident expectation, the building to
this point of all the other mid-conti-
mental lines as we'll.
