It has . served well for a matter of controversy during" 'i-he present year. The events r that to-k place in 1899 will make it K more remarkable than the mere fact y that it wound ur the present century. y Peace of nations has been disturbed. y This old world has been, shaken and 1 nations, Kke individuals, are jealous of . each ether. Greed and averice have ' upset the peace policy in which ail r civilized nations were deeply interested Y during the present year. Y In:lS98 with laudable pride our own country, mindful of the struggles of our forefathers in tho early '70s cf the last century, lent a helping band to suffer " ing1 Cuba. Cuba now under the Dro-" Dro-" I teotion of the Stars and Stripes is for- ever more free from the domination of the Spanish flag. In the Philippines- the war is still progressing. , England's pride and honor were wounded by the simple liberty lovins: inhabitants cf the Transvaal. That the " farmer Boers should fail to yield its rights and liberties to a powerful nation - was a gro?3 insult, to be settled only - by the bayonet. The little republic w . still ahead, and apart from the iingrw who scream when the lion's tail is twisted, has the sympathy of all true reipublicanis. At home and abroad the " outlook for the opening of the twentieth ceiTiury seems to be anything but peace. Utah has had its political contest. No member to press her wants- in congress; and - lacking another member in the senate places the state cf Utah in an ugly and disadvantageous- position. It .turns the eyes of the nation ence more to her people. The controversy began, but not ended, has led to the abuse of the dominant church. They are charged with bad faith, and of having violated their solemn pledges. Error is not corrected, nor refuted by simply assarting as-sarting that the Mormon people are warring against truth and guilty of rebellion against God or the nation. These assuming tha role of teachers must first substantiate their own claims to the truth. The Catholic church in Utah silently moves along, doing the work cf her divine founder. She extends to all the Christmas greetings of the angel "Peace on enrth to men of good will." . . She h-as elbow roam, for her wcrth V? and the work progressinc. In the last I quarter of the century she has frrrnvn. i from weakly ihrub to huw tree that extends its branches, through schools, hospitals churches and! other institution institu-tion throughout the entire state. In her upward motion she has confined con-fined herself to her mission, pursued a peace policy, and that without compromising compro-mising th truth entrusted to ht-r charge. The Intei m uintain has traced her history in Ut;vh fnm the banning ban-ning down to the present. The pn-sent year, which has witne-.-ci the founding of the Kearrs St. Ann's orphanage, the erection of a beautiful church in Og-den Og-den and tha commencement ef the new cathedral in this city is the most elor-icus elor-icus and successful in her history. It.- ii-ccf ss-ful labors at the ehw of the nhvtitee.nth centurr have been c-rnivnej in, the establishment of a Catholi.: paper, whose m;tt. Mhall be truth. Its aim shall be to defend defined doctrines doc-trines of the church. In, doing this it shall espouse the cuuc of right, truth and Justice. ! I ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL.
