Show A HEALTHFUL SPOT. We liave heard It stated by (htsiclans that tho dentil rale la Salt haVo City was far above the average of the Ijxgc cities ol A tnericj. Wo doubted tbo truth of the statement and fauud on examination exami-nation that It was a huge mistake. It was but the echo of ncilws assertions made by malicious scribes to make 'Mormonlsai" responsible re-sponsible for tho mortality or the city, as ell as all other lib that come to human beings in this part of tlie world in common with others. Xowwehavc a complaint from the superintendent of the niuu. that there must be an error In the r.-portscfthe death rate from Salt Lake, as it is too low and nut or all proportion with the rate according accord-ing to lapulation or tber cities. The enumerators here sly the reports re-ports are all right, and the chief enumera tor has so notified theSuper-Intendent theSuper-Intendent at Wahlngton, with the hint that If he wants tbe death rate raised, he had better lenj out a de tachment or census nun to kill off a sufficient number or people to make the rate tally with the average efcen here. The fault, it aprars, is not J tho reports but in the climate clim-ate and general health or the population. pop-ulation. Utah is a favored spot. AnJ when it was pointed out by the ficger of Providence to the Prophet Joseph Smltb,and selected as tho gathering place for the Saints by President Brigham Young under the guiding hand or God, it was intended to become a choice land wherein tho faithful should find leace, health and general prosperity. The Lord be praised far his goodness! |
