DEATH OF A PHILANTHROpIsT.

Sir Moses Montefiore, the well.known
Hebrew philanthropist, died in London
yesterday. The one-hundredth birth
day of this venerable benefactor of
mankind was celebrated in England
and throughout Europe on the oath of
October last. On that occasion he re-.
ceived over eight hundred congratula-
tory letters and four hundred kilograms
of similar character from all parts of
the world. A special church service
was held in his honor, and he insisted
on standing during the ceremonies, and
at the close of the service, in q clear,
strong voice. he thanked the Almighty
that he had been permitted to live to
90 full an age. He was born in London
IN 1854, and in early life used his large
fortune in improving the condition of
the oppressed Of his race. He visited
Syria repeatedly. and in 1910 relieved
The prosecuted Jews in Damascus.
Through his influence the condition of
people of his race was improved in
Russia. Poland. Roumania and Morocco,
though his benefactions were by no
means limited to race or religion, but
were extended to the poor and lowly OF
all creeds and chimes. In 1887 he be-
came Sheriff Of London, and was
knighted, and in 1916 he was made a
baronet by Queen Victoria. Respected
by kings and princes, and beloved by
the masses. the philanthropist quietly
passed away, full Of years and honors.

CROOKED COINAGE

It is now alleged that there is much
more silver in the Treasury and in cir.
culation than has been coined by the
Government, and consequently that
some private mint must be engaged in
making standard dollars and other sill
yer coins of proper weight and fineness,
which can not be distinguished from
those coined by the Government. As
this is considered possible, the Treas.
ury is said 20 have been engaged for
some time past in investigating the
matter. The Government, as provided
by law, buys 1874, 900, 600 worth of sill
yer bullion per year, and with that
coins from 27, 600, 600 to 2S,0O0, 600
standard dollars, making q profit on
the operation of from 5000, 900 to
$4,000, 600. A private establishment,
having counterfeit dies made from a
proof piece from the mint, might easily
make this or a greater profit if they
could secrete themselves beyond detec.
tion. It is believed that some enter
prising firm has run the risk, and that
great quantity of the silver in circula-
tion and in the Treasury is the un-
authorized production of some private
establishment.
As ring, composed Of few Mint
officials who understand addition, d.
vision and silence" could, with very
little risk of being detected, coin few
thousand standard dollars more than
they reported to the Treasury Depart
ment every month, and easily get them
in circulation, it is more probable, if an
excess of silver is in circulation and in
the Treasury, that it was coined in the
United States Mint than in some
private establishment. Perhaps the in
vestigation now being made by the
Treasury Department may determine
which theory is correct.

WHO WAS TO BLAME?

The case OF Wenner VS.. Smith, which
was decided yesterday in favor of the
plaintiff, was a case which arose under
the Hoar amendment to the Edmunds
law, and which provided for the filling of
certain offices by the Governor. Among
those offices was that OF Probate Judge of
Salt Lake county, to which office Mr..
U. j. Wenner was appointed, but the
then incumbent, Judge Elias Smith,
refused to surrender. Judge Smith
certainly acted in accordance with
the advice OF able counsel, and
there certainly was some question
whether or not there was vacancy as
contemplated by the Hoar amendment.
The decision of yesterday settles this
question unless such decision shall be
reversed upon appeal. We cannot see
that any great wrong was committed by
appealing to the courts il there was
question whether or not vacancy ex-
listed, especially when able counsel had
advised the incumbent that it did not
exist. That Judge Smith was advised by
Others than his legal counsel We have
not the least doubt in the world, and the
probabilities are that he paid more heed
to this other counsel than to that given by
his attorneys.
Now where was the wrong for all the
trouble in these cases? The Tribune of
this morning, in commenting upon this
case, says:
Judges, while theoretically supporting the
law, practically declined to give it effect;
they disagreed with the Mormon claim al
together, but surrendered altogether to the
Mormon pressure for delay.
Ii this is true, the then Probate Judge
OF Salt Lake County should not be
blamed, nor should any Mormon; the
blame should rest upon the District
Court. The Judge OF the Third District
Court at that time was Republican,
and how does ii come that a
Republican is not absolutely perfect?
If all that was shameful and disgrace
TO Utah's jurisprudence, and the Tribune
says it was, then that shame and disgrace
belong in the main to Federal official
and how does it come that all Utah's Fed
eral officials have not been perfect At

THE BROIL.

Things seem to be as unsettled as ever
in Servia and on the Balkan peninsula.
Russia is becoming apprehensive of Aus
tria's designs, and thinks that she and
servia are intriguing for territorial ag-
grandizement. The rumors to this effect
are sufficient TO cause Russia to begin
arming in case anything should turn
up" The war fever in Greece remains
unabated, and the people there are
anxious for Greek to meet Turk. The
Greeks do not exactly like the idea
that perhaps Hobart Pasha may come
down with u fleet of Turkish
ironclads and lombard their towns !;
and if they could only receive an assur-
ance from Turkey that nothing of the kind
would be done, or guaranty from the
Powers to the same effect, they would be
willing to measure swords with the Inf
del on the land. Some one is spelling
Tor fight in Southeastern Europe, and
1t is pity they cannot be Accommodated.
Truly this Eastern question is a polite
OF wars and rumors OF wars.

Rudd poble ON Goldsmith Maid.

In conversation with Budd Doble the
other day, knowing the great affection he
had for Goldsmith Maid, reporter asked
him, "Did you regret parting with her
when she retired from the turf?" To
which he answered both ayes and no. l
naturally felt grieved in separating forever
from her, and still was glad when the
day came for us to part, as for the last
wear / had the utmost horror and dread
of her breaking down, for she had trotted
so many hard races and was so well adj
vanced in years, that with every race
came this terrible feeling OF her breaking
down in some OF her desperate contests;
so when she trotted her last race and was
turned out to enjoy her well earned rest,
/ experienced feeling OF great relief"
An inquiry from one Of the party as to
her intelligence brought Doble TO his feet
with the remark: Gentlemen, the
Maid was the most intelligent animal you
ever saw, she knew more than many
men," Being asked to exemplify his re.
marks he said: "In scoring she would
do as she pleased; if she was back and
did not think she could get up, all the
whipping in the world would not make
her increase her speed, but il she thought
she could get good start, all could do
to prevent her was OF no use. remem-
ber we'll in race with George Palmer,
he got her all mixed up scoring so that
she did not seem to know what to do,and
he beat her the race the next place we
trotted 1 was jogging her around the
track, when l met George Wilkes, of
whom she took no notice, little further
on George Palmer met us, when the Maid
instead OF passing him. stood still and
trembled like leaf, while the perspira-
tion poured from every pore in her body,
but when our race was called every
vestige of fear had departed, and she
scored with determination and speed that
did not deem her capable of. She
seemed to know the horse that had got
her mixed up scoring, and beat her the
previous week, and was determined to
redress herself OH this occasion.-C Chicago

ANOTHER WISE ONE.

The number of men who are springing
up all over the country now with stories
to relate about what Graut told them is
wonderful. Tie latest one is from Cap
tain A. d. Lee, Private Secretary to Presi-
dent Hayes. Lee says he had lots of
interviews with Grant in 1879, and among
other things discussed by them was the
Hayes-Tilden controversy. Lee says
Grant gave him to understand
there was reason to believe that Tilden
proposed to go down to Washington and
be sworn in as President, and that Grant
said, in speaking of this proposed inaug-
uration, If Tilden had undertaken
to do that, | would have hung him. /"
Doubtless Secretary Lee has the docu-
mentary evidence for this, and from this
evidence and his own recollection he has
verified this statement. All such stuff
and nonsense should be ruled out as
Grant is not said to have made
them in anticipation OF death.
General Grants memory now needs to
be guarded from the silly and senseIess
attacks OF his friends, and not from his
enemies. Only short time ago Fred
Grant said that his father believed that
Tilden was elected, and now this wise
acre Lee says that Grant talked about
hanging Tilden. Next.

FROM MEXICO.

1t is said that President Diaz, of Mexico,
is negotiating with Germany to help
Mexico out of her financial distress. Ii
such is actually the case, and Bismarck
shall agree to aid Mexico in return for
certain privileges OF colonization, the
United States may find Mexico very
troublesome neighbor. Already the
Monroe doctrine is being talked Of, and
whether or not this proposed arrangement
between Diaz and Bismarck is an in
fringement OF it is undecided. No doctrine
in the world has had to do such diverse
duty as this same Monroe doctrine.
1t seems to be a sort of patent
medicine which is to cure ALL
But the Munroe doctrine is not the ques-
ton under discussion at present. Ii
Diaz shall undertake to in any way
make Mexico tributary to Germany, Diaz
will be deposed and Mexico will start
another revolution. The fate of Maxi
milan of Austria will serve as very
severe warning to any European prince
or puppet who may desire to found an
empire on this side of the Atlantic. The
concessions which Diaz may have offered
to Bismarck are more likely to be of a
commercial nature than of any other
nature. What right OF interference
the United States would have in such a
case is difficult to see, unless some
treaty right were infringed upon.
1t may be that Diaz is playing ruse SO
rs to induce this Government to ratify
the reciprocity treaty between the United
States and Mexico, which was negotiated
during President Arthur's Administration
There is more to this business than has
yet been developed, and further develop
ments will be anxiously awaited.

the conclusion of its article, the Tribune
has this:
II is we'll, however, to have the principle
involved settled, and settled right. For this
we have had to wait for the coming of man
on the bench who, while having clear ideas
of what Judge ought TO do when plain
statute comes before him, has also the obli-
CATION of conscience to do it, and n spinal
column which will maintain the conclusions
of his brain.
This certainly looks like a reflection
upon Judge zane's predecessor, and had
it been made by any other journal than
the one by which it was made, it would
no doubt be treason.
But as the Tribune says, we are glad
the question is settled Ii men believe
they have rights we are always glad to
see them test them in the courts, and we
think it is mans duty to so test them.
The trouble in Utah has been that after
rights have been adjudicated in the
highest courts in this country the
people here have not abided
by the adjudication. They have substi-
tuted their own opinions for those of the
Supreme Court of the United States, even
after they have appealed to that court ;
and it is with this that we find fault, and
not with the assertion of their right to
have decision upon all questions in
volving grave consequences from the
Supreme Court OF the United States.
The decision in the case OF Wenner VS..
Smith comes late, but it is "better late
than neyer,r
