The many difficult problems which arise out of the condition of the country in consequence of the financial depression are hard to solve, various temporary remedies for existing evils are, suggested but none are sufficiently practical or far reaching enough to cover the ground. The present outlook is by no means bright considering things naturally, but to those who put faith in God there is a consolation, knowing that He careth for all. Man however is expected to exert to the utmost the ability with which He is endowed by, his Creator, not only for himself individually, but for The Savior's inhis fellow countrymen. junction "Love thy neighbor" would help things very much,' but on the contrary the application is made only to one's own, instead of one's neighbor. The great good of humanity is very little considered by the masses. The rights of each individual in relation to each other and to the great world of mankind is not sought out. To get at the root of the matter and seek out the - cause of-tdifferences between capital and labor, or between the government and the governed were a Herculean task, and even then were the "case analyzed what sort of Doctor could prescribe. And as we cannot revolutionize the world at large, it might .be well "to commence at home If the people of this Territory had, heeded the counsel of its first Governor Brigham toYonng, they would be day to a great extent. There would have been more manufacturing, and more paid laborers, and there would also have been more land under cultivation, and consequently more bread for the hungry. By this time the people might have advanced far enough to have established the United Order which far surpasses all the schemes and inventions of the modern novelist. Bellamy's ''Looking Backward" is as a cob house compared to the strong substantial structure on a firm foundation, which the united order presents, to the .student of ways and meansv by which to better the condition of the human family. The Single Tax people" think that a great reform in the financial and material elements of the world can be brought about through the practice of the methods advocated by them, indeed they are very sanguine upon the subject, and it is possible perhaps fof some improvement to be made, were they able' to educate the masses, or the majority of citizens in the ideas they are promulgating, . ! he self-sustaini- . . ng gs one-thin- - ' . aj . is, how to secure the land to which one is entitled without infringing upon the sacred rights of others. This will no doubt; hinder the conversion of many as it will be years before any amicable adjustment " "could be reached. In the meantime our advice would be to cultivate the land that lies waste' under such laws and regulations as now exist instead of idling away one's time in dispute over capital and labor, or in tramping Over the country in defiance of decency and good order.

H. Young, Mrs. M. Isabella Home, Mrs; George Teasdale, Mrs. Minnie J. Snow and several other brethren and sisters. Mrs. Jennings house was artistical- ly decorated with flowers and trailing vines, and the dining room was tastefully arranged. The refreshments were certainly delicious and graciously dispeused by charming young girls. In fact the reception was a success, the instrumental music of Miss Celia Sharp and the vocal Mrs. NELLIE Grace late Secretary of by Mrs. Nellie the Relief Society upon the Sandwich Islands called at this office on her way home from her mission with her husband, her little girl accompanied them. Brother and Sister Grace have returned well; and testify that they enjoyed this foreign mis sion very much indeed. Sister Grace told us many interesting Uhings concerning the native women in the several branches of the Society over there. The sisters on those far away Islands are anxious to learn and to be in conformity with our organization in the land of Zion. Brother and Sister Grace have returned to their home in Nephi, after nearly three years sojourn in a foreign land where Mrs. Grace has been engaged in teaching and her husband in predching the Everlasting Gospel to a benighted people. . By invitation of Mrs. Jennie Hyde of the :22nd Ward in this City several of the sisters met at the residence of Bishop Solo?1 mon on Thursday at 5 p. in. March 22nd, in honor of the fortieth anniversary of the birthday of the Bishop's wife.
