THERE HAVE been so many cen.
tennial celebrations in this country
lately that the people forgot the
most important event to the nation,
which saw its one hundreth births
day anniversary last week. The
history of the United States as an
independent nation began on Sep
TENDER Sd, on which day the treaty
between the rebellious but victor
ious colonies and Great Britain was
signed at Versailles. By that
treaty, which was signed on
behalf of America by John Adams,
Benjamin Franklin and John
Jay, the British Crown &C
knowledged the absolute soYer-
eighty of the United States over
the territory bounded by the Allan
tic ocean east, Nova Scotia and the
lakes north, the Mississippi river
west, and the thirty-frst degree of
northern latitude south. 1t wasn't
much of nation then, but having
been healthy for most of the time
during the century, has grown to
considerable proportions and &C
quired a "power" of strength, as it
were.

THEY HAVE a novel organization
at Erie, Pennsylvania, its name
being the "Nationsl Longevity
Union" and its object being the
extension of human life. 1t is
founded upon the theory that pre-
vention is both cheaper and better
than cure. The society employs
one or more physicians by the year,
and each member, upon the pays
ment of a small fee, is entitled to
medical attendance, the condition
being that he must follow the sani-
tary instructions of the doctor,
whose business it is to visit the
homes of all members, and keep a
medical history. The physicians
salary being fixed, it is to his inter-
est to cure as speedily as possible
and prevent the spread of disease,
The society is said to be in a thriv-
ing condition, and bids fairly to
become a really beneficial organi-
cation.

IT HAS been estimated that one
third of the money that Congress
has generously voted to its soldiers
and sailors in the form Of pensions
has never reached the rightful per-
sons. Pension sharps are notorious
rouges, " orse, if it were possible,
than the regulation Indian agent.
Congress has passed many laws for
the protection of pensioners, and
latterly the business of distributing
the money has been NOE honestly
performed, but there is still much
roguery. A Philadelphia firm has
just been exposed, which has for
years been robbing poor pensioners.
1t advanced money upon pension
certificates, charging exorbitant
rates of interest, instances occurring
where go per cent. Of the claim was
taken up before the needy pen
sioner obtained his money. The
exposure of the firm cam e
through its pure maliciousness
and brutality. The company
held the certificate of one Laf>
ferty all the time, save when he
took it to make personal application
for his money, and at such times
the sharps kept the daughter of the
pensioner in their Office as hostage
for the return of the certificate and
the payment of thor loan together
with the outrageously usurious
interest. Congress should again
deal with the pension question, and
if possible open the way whereby
rightful claimants can obtain the
money that belongs to them with
cut feeding rogues and sharps.

we do not speculate. Had the vast
sums that have been spent in Great
ing booms for Colorado, found their
way to Salt Lake, there might have
been temporary set backs, but the
unfailing, exhaustless and innumer-
able resources of the Territory
would have made the expenditures
ultimately profitable. We cannot
help the belief that the poetic COM
parison, Cup like a rocket and down
like stick" which is so wonder
fully true of men who begin at the
top of the ladder, and compelled to
go one way or another, are invari-
ably forced to a descent, is equally
true of cities whose rise is phenom-
email, just as has been DenYer's.
Utah has had no boom. Size needed
none; the march of progress
with her has been steady
and uninterrupted. Industries
that have been established, almost
without exception have been
marked by success; there have been
few, if any attempts, to force |
trade; but when the requirements
have demanded the establishment |
Of institutions and manufactures,
the means have been forthcoming,
the industries inaugurated, and sue
cess has been the reward. This is
why failures have been few; and it
is why Utah business men, more
than the business men Of any section
of the west, have enjoyed unlimited
credit in the east, and have deserved
the credit which was given them.
We can afford to wait. We are
doing well. We are making money;
Workmen are employed, children
are comfortably dressed and edu-
Gated, prosperity is diffused equally
among all classes; our way is clear,
our future assured, and the chances
are ten to one that we will arrive at
the desired goal a great deal earlier
than those who expended their force
at the start, and who unlike Utah's
had not learned the
grand results that accrue from the
Of energy.

some OF the Republican journals

SOME OF the Republican journals
are trying to kick up an awful fuss
over the summary removal of Van
dervoort, the postal inspector the
other day. This is an uphill busi-
ness. Vandervoort violated well
known order of the Department in
absenting himself from duty with
out leave, and he was dealt with as
any other man should be under SINH
lar circumstances. The fact that he
is pet of the G. A. r. can cut no fig
ure in the case. The members of the
Grand Army should understand this
fact better than anybody else, they
having been soldiers and knowing
how necessary discipline is to faith
full and efficient service. The
truth Of the matter is Vandervoort
counted too much on his
G. A. R. popularity. He thought
the Administration would not dare
slaughter man who had the strong
backing that he possessed in the
ex-soldiers. Presuming upon his
power he acted as if he were ga
bigger man than" Gresham, only to
find that sometimes this is not a
government of fear, and that now
and than a civil service rule means
something. There is little in the
Vandervoort removal from which
to work up an outrage.

A HOIST FOR THE PILGRIMS


. Some Illinoisans have again IN
dertaken the task of suppressing al
offensive religion and its followers
but have been guilty of the mistake
so often made in these matters, Of
employing lawless violence. "Tht

pie. The probabilities are that they
are guilty of unlawful practices, but
if the Suckers have an idea they
can suppress the Pilgrims Gy blow
ing up their churches and otherwise
prosecuting them they are woefully
mistaken. Martyrdom is the strong
est card any church ever had. Re-
ligion feeds and fattens on persecu~
ton, Fhe most outrageous doctrines
will find sympathizers and believers
and will grow strong and popular if
they can only incite violent opposi~
ton and oppression. The blowing
up of the Pilgrims church has
undoubtedly already excited
sympathy for the misguided
fanatics among people who
otherwise would never have
given a thought to the peculiar
religion or its followers. A second
church could be erected with half
the eff0lt that the first cost. The
killing of two or three prominent
pilgrims. would give the sect fair
start in the world, and the driving
of the believers from their homes
would firmly establish the new
creed. One would naturally sup
pose that by this time Christians,
who usually incite il they do not
take active part in the prosecutions
of so-called fanatics, would have
learned the value to new creeds of
them unlawfully. There
are laws in this country for pun
ishing misdeeds and wrong-doings
of pretty nearly every nature and
degree; if there are offenses against
morals or against right, not covered
by the statutes, it is an easy matter
to make a law that will punish the
doors. Illinois has a wonderfully
sweeping code; it is safe to say that
the Pilgrims have not been guilty
Of an offense that is not punishable
Under the existing statutes, And
yet the miserable, misguided people
it may be, are maltreated and abused
oy their neighbors, their property
destroyed and attempts made upon
their lives. The fanaticism of the
prosecutors is as bad as that of their {
victims; it is worse, for it is clearly Z
while it has not been I
shown that the Pilgrims have been I
guilty of anything more serious than
5he organization of a new sect, the t
proclamation Of a new belief, and '
he following of new religion in a l
world that is filed with sects, be- 1
iefs, and religions. If the Pilgrims S
are frauds, at least they will feel e

at Nyreghhaza, Hungary, the prisoners ac-
cused of having placed a corpse in the river
with view of passing it off as Esther Salo-
messy, whom the prisoners are charged with
numbering declared that their confessions
had been obtained by threats of numbering
them in prison. One was compelled to
drink huge quantities of water, had been
stripped, struck, dragged by the hair, and
shown the gallows. Others were beaten and
compelled to gaze at the sun. A number of
witnesses testified as TO the shocking treat
ment received at the hands of the authori-
ties. The counsel for the defense pointed
ont that the people of Tisza Ezlar where the
murder was alleged to have been commit
ted had been taught that it was not wrong
to testify falsely against Jews, the interest of
the country demanding their conviction.

a bottle has been discovered, which contained
the confession of a suicide that he drowned

off as that of Esther Salomossy does not CORE

States, who handles most of the whisky sent
from America to Europe, said to-day that,
having seen the full opinion of the Attorney
general in regard to the expectation of
whisky, he is prepared to say that there is
no cause for alarm or for panic among the
manufacturers which would have ensued
had the decision actually been as sweeping
as might be inferred from the first announce
ment. The opinion is, in fact if whisky is
exported in good faith, and then returned to
this country, it is not liable to duty. Only
when it is sent abroad with the intention of
returning it, and thus eyading the law, that
tax is collectible
