Show SHALL WE BUILD A COURT HOUSE? rrrmoM. To the Honorable.lhe County Court of San Ptte Coumy: We the nndersigned residents and tax payers of San Pete Countv. most respect lullv represent that we are informed it K the intention of your honorable body, to cause to be erected at Maiiii city, a com tv builJi.ig,iocusta!ioutJi5,'vx-,an-understanding that the County has not ..ri.t.i innrls in it. trrasmv ro meet said expense, and understanding that it w.ll be necessary to incur a considerab'a amount ol indebtness to complete said bu'lding.lherefore; we most respecilullv prottst against the election of said bu.ld mg at this time, for the reason that our county taxes are as high as we can well beai;the county revenue is decreasing as we are informed, and verily beheve.and we protest against paying interest lor county indebtedness unless strictly neces sary. We believe the best pol.cv for the CMintv to persue would be to continue the use ol the present county building un til such time as the county can erect a suitable building without running in debt for the same we most earnestly ciavevour respectful attention to the foregoing sub-ject and as in duly bound your petition-ers will ever pray. Dec 1,1891, 7he above is a correct copy of a petition sent to Ephraim from Mt. Pleasant Avhich is being circulated through San Pete county. There is, also, a counter petition, or rather this is the counter petition to one placed in circulation before the one quoted above, asking the people of San Pete to give their voice for the ereci.ion,at Manti.of a County Court House. We would have been glad to pub-lish the other, but no copy of it has reached us. 7Tiose who are signing this peti-tion, are no doubt, laboring under the impression that San Pete county has a surplus that is bursting the vaults, but such is not the case. They no doubt believe that a County Court House is about to be built somewhere, and prefer that Janti hould have it, but neither of these suppositions have any foundation in fact. San Pete County is less able to build a Court House now, than she has been at any time in the past ten years. Not that her taxes are less, or her property less, but because by an act of the Legislature one half of the entire tax income of the county, has been appropriated for school purposes. So that the expenses of the County must be conducted with one half of the money formerly under their control Judge Jacob Johnson avers that the half which now re-mains is not sufficient to defray the running exnenses of the court. Two thirds of the county officials con-sider the present building, while neither so imposing nor ornamental as Manti deserves.or we would like to s.", still ample fora'l business j u -- poses,--- and room to spare. Since our finances are in such a condition) the conservative element, would liV'e to ask the gentlemen who are circulating the petition t'" build: "How do Jou ).rropose to raise your necessary $25. oot?'1 That is the least it will take to put up the build-ing, for which plans and specifica tions rnve been made. We are informed that the petition to build, does not make mention cf this matter; but there is only two ways in which it is likely to be done. By largely increasing the taxes, or by bonding the county for that amount, and paying the interest there on. In the present state of County finances, an increase of taxes is in-evitable; and to further increase them to meet the expense of such a building would be burdensome in-deed. If, by bonding the county, it is only tc prolong the burden, and leave the deed to our children as alegacv. In either case it looks like bleeding the rest of the county to fatten Manti as Manti, and Manti alone, would be benefited by it. If the money is to be raised by the latter process, by what rule of percentage f.nd interest do these enterprising citizens pro-pose to redeem those bonds.or even carry the ; interest therccn, when all their present income will not meet present and pressing expenses? It can only be done by largely increas-ing the taxes. Why should San Pete County place such a shackel upon herself, when the present accommodations are all that are required? There are other reasons than the above why it is not well to press the matter at present. The late contest as to where the County seat should be, was a plain indication that the majority did not want the County seat at Mantijalthough the two' thirds vote necessary for its removal was not cast. In the changed condition of things, there is almost sure to be a change in the attitude of the three rival cities of San Pete. One of them will so advance that there will no longer be a doubt as to where the County seat should be, or the mag-nificent temple of Justice designed for us, should be built. There are so many other public improvements, more necessary and remunerative, that may be consumated in the next four years, enterprises in which no one can say: "You have dealt un-fairly with us," that manti can well afford to wait. fUE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS The Denver News lias icnt us one of the best and most consistent Chrismas Numbers that has yet reach ed our tables. It has twenty-fou- r pages, filled with the most interest-ing and important matter of the hour, and touching a great variety of subject; together with original and selected matter of a most su-perior tone, suitable to the season. Don't forget the Debate at the raini Civil Government Class nest Saturday night. Aa excellent pro-gramme prepared. Ladies are in-vited. Looking to enlargement, the Reg-is!

The upper story of the Moroni dis-trict school house is now completed with the exception.Cif painting and putting up the seats, this is a very beautiful room, and will doubtless be appreciated. The Y. M. Meetings of Moroni are poorly attended. Why don't the Young Men come to these meet-ings? Why will thev permit the Young Ladies to excel? (they don't do so when there is a dance.) Our new City Council could confer a favor on Ephraim, and celebrate their entrance into their new and important duties, by placing eight or ten street lamps from the Depot, to the City Hall. Mr. Josh Fielding.our local Jehu, is now carrying passengers from Manti south. lis has given general satisfaction so far, and we can heart-ily recconiend him to the trtveling public, as one worthy of their pat ronage. Every young man and woman, who ever expects to hold office or exer-cise the rights of Americans the suffrage franchise,--shoul- d study the institutions of our Country and the best place to do that is at the Civil Government Class. What is the next thing Moroni wants? Some of the leading men say it is a church school, jlost of the young men are at home now and nothing for them to do. Many of them, no doubt, would attend a school of that kind, if we had one in oper-ation. J. H. Wallis, Esq., Ptos. Atty., of Tuab Co., made Ephraim a flying visit on Sunday night, lie return-ed jVonday. vir. Wallis says from his observation, that Ephraim is right ly located and bound to become a good town, Danish or .10 Danish. There was a meeting of the peo-ple of Ephraim, and the Railroad committee, on 'Jonday evening, for the final adjustment of their labors. The reports were all received, and gave entire satisfaction; the final expense bull liquidated, and the committee dismissed with thanks. The Manti Seminary comm'jac-e- d its second term y Jan. 5th with the Council House filled to overflowing. It will be necessary in the future for our progressive leading citizens to take steps to-ward obtaining more extensive ac-comodations for this excellent insti-tution. The Moroni Sabbath School is in a fairly good condition. It has been divided into three departments primary, intermediate, and Theo-logical, each department occupying a seperate room in the Tabernacle during the class exercises. Each department has four teachers: two male and two female. The City Council of Salt Lake have refused to license liqttar in the variety Theatre Cafe. The evil has been done in licensing the thea-tre, and we cannot see how they can consistently withhold the liquor li-cense now. The District Court will decide the matter. Messrs. Dickson and Powers having been secured by the saloon men. All day on New Year's day the Register kept the office open to receive callers. We thought that perhaps three or four hundred of our subscribers, in turning over the traditional new leaf, would begin their reform by calling and settling their accounts. The people of this County evidently are not in favor of New Year Calls. 7"here is an attempt being made in Salt Lake City to stop the licens-ing of any more saloons. This is no doubt considered a very moral move by its projectors, but as thete are already some eighty, of all grades and complections, as a moral movement it is a failure. Calm scanning of the question shows that it would not detract a gill from the amount sold, but would reduce the revenue of the city, and serve as a protection to those saloons that Coliny Locals.

We are indebted lothe members of the Moroni Choir for the animating pro-gramme carried out last evening, at the Tabernacle. A huge Christinas tree was erected on the stand, beautiful'y decor-ated with suitable toys The programme throughout was spicy.consisting ol Solos-voc- al and instrumental, also songs, speeches and recitations. The well ren dered music by the Brass Baud was duly appreciated bv all present. At about half past 8 o'clock the world renotind Santa Ciaus accompanied by three of his said to made theirapperance through the vestry door. There was a feature connected with it which deserves the credit of being new. The old philanteropist possessed a telescope through which he viewed the Children and determined their merit to the presents in store for them. Immediately after the concert, the young folks repaired to the Opera House where they proceeded to dance, until half past twelve, after which the mem-bers of the choir boarded a prairie schooner and serenaded the public. CHRISTMAS. On Christmas day a similiar program was carried out for the little lolks.
