Ill alt Vlw (li,Yk !! progress of the Territory, aside from the mining Interest, in wealth, population, education an : culture, is almost nothing compared with other Territories during the same time.- Look at semi-- A ratio Minnesota, youngor in years than Utah, and compare her grandeur with tho poverty and insignificance of Zion . But with the immense mineral resources of Utah, now that a more enterprising class of people have a foothold here, thero will be glorious advancement and the upbuilding of a noble commonwealth with the development of Independent thought, the breaking of ecclesiastical shackles and the annihilation of the on man power, with Its system of one horse legislation, Is but a question of time. WALKER IRUQS. DRUG WASATCH LGlI.VriN! Tbatoawnabla petition of Mr. wboii .mailer li located on the near the Dot Spring, t ? 4 itoriie foot-hi- ll fee hitherto exHernia the that unjhct . acted of him by the City Council bo And not TCoitlted, hai been refered. Initrucled its the Council but only tbii, committee to draft an ordinance pro. Tiding that no more itnellen ihnuld bo , ercetod within the limita of the city. When we take Into coniideralinn the " fact that the corpora to limit of thiia city bare been n tended to include aq area of from eight to ten mile rquaro, we i can form Minn 'idea of the probable fate of our buiineu men engaged in mining and ivielling enterprise. There art coma forty petty legiiletive diitricta under the name of City Corporation," extending up and down theie valley, and corering almoit every arailablo water-court- s and Httlpment, When the propoied Bountiful City" corporation fa hatohed out it will probably be found , that nearly every available tile in Salt Lako'Talley for quarta mill or imoltcri i covered with these bogui city corpora- -, These petty sovereignties have .lions. ! .' been mated by the Church through its legislative emnilsiarier, to thwart the action of Congress in setting aside un , just legislation, by making over to tho priestly cliques in those six by ten hamlets the legislative powers ordinorily lodged in State or Territorial Lrgisla-- . tures. But there is a limit to the municipal power of those bogus cities or slakes of Zion. r . . an enterprising man like Mr. PattJernLptbuild upon his own land on the f I desolate foothills surrou- ding the city a smelter or a lime kiln, either being a legitimate and harmless business, then i let the Solon of our City Council at-- L . tempt to abate end destroy such an enterprise, and how quickly would the courts, if appealed to, come to the rescue and maintain the rights of the individual against the usurpations of the municipality. If' Mr. Pascoe or any man engaged in industrial pursuits that are universally conceded to be necessary to tho welfare and prosperity of a community, would refuse to pay the illegal license tax saddled upon him by our city authorities, we have no doubt they would be sustained by the courts. We base our belief upon common souse groqnd, and upon the expressed opinions of able lawyers. In this connection it it ' pertinent to ask why the lawyers of thi1 city, to whom Brigham Young is op- posed on principle, are not required to pay license fees, as physicians and other - 7? - " business men aret that it is well understood that they know thoir rights and knowing dare maintain them, and the greedy ofilce holders dare not levy on thero. We can guago the kind of sympathy the miner, mill and smelter men will get from tho powers that be by tho proposed legislation in city and Territorial legislatures. There is a petition now before the legislature asking for action in connection with the Oermania Works below the city. The petitioners living in that neighborhood claim that poisonous gases emanating from these works injuriously affect their lauds and cattle. Simply for the reason , . . - - . ' ' '' ffl H .it This f true, is a matter demanding investigation, and may become a que- s' tion of tho payment of damages. But in comparison with tho magnitude of i the interest involved jn smelters and refining works in the neighborhood of Sandy, and the necessity of their loca- tiou . there, the damoge to land and cattle is hardly to be mentioned, and can be easily remedied. Yet one of the members, Mr. Tkurbcr we think, conveyed the idea in remarks upon the in the House, that the subject nfinilesslmal agricultual interest in that neighborhood was of superior importance, and must bo protected, at the expanse of mining interests. Ware it not for the mining interest created by Gen- -; ' tile capital and industry these with oth- -' '' or. lauds and agricultural interests in Utah would be or little worth. We ful-- '' ly understand tho nature of the pressure that has been brought to bear upon Mr. Fascoe, who although a member of the 1 Mormon church, Is of too independent a nature to go snifiling around the Grand Mogul at the Lion house for permission to engage in whatever business ho may choose. lie is not the first man whose ' Independence and livelihood has been jeopardised because, forsooth, he has humiliate himself , by humbly asking counsel of a men greatly hie inferior in business talent, and wotally knowledge and processes. A Jack at all trades is good at none," and Brigham Young has ' proved the base of many business enterprises in Utah, and caused the failure of many a capable buslness man by insisting on obedience to his crude notions In business be kosw.ncthing about, agalnat tho better Judgmeut of superior men of mpre thorough training In those lines of business.
