Provo Points.

Now for conference.
We may vet have the usual storm.
Spencer Clawson and some others of Salt
Lakes merchants have been seen in Provo
this week.
IT. Pierpont & Sons have leased the Provo
Foundry and Machine shops and are run
ming the business.
S. S. Jones is building another fine resi-
dence in the First ward, which. it IS calcu-
lated, will be the handsOmest $1,000 struc-
ture in Provo.
Snow Brothers have about finished their
new furniture store house opposite the
court house, and they are now moving their
goods into their new quarters.
j. G. Graham has a handsome portico re
Gently built in front of his residence in the
First ward, which is another evidence Of
prcsI Gritty. The only question is how an
editor manages to put on so much style.
We had d disagreeaDle wind storm on
Thursday evening, which blew clouds OF
dust all the way from Springville which
made it a little difficult for people to see
their way about town here IN Provo.
John Hallett, the young man who met
with the giant powder accident in Provo
canon last week, is still progressing favor
ably, though not yet out Of danger. DR..
Pike thinks he may recover and may posi-
bly, retain his sight Of one eye, though he
has lost both hands and one eye for certain
and is otherwise disfgured for life. So far
as we can learn he was the victim Of an ac-
cident which he could not have guarded
against unless by keeping away from giant
powder altogether. He has been an honest,
industrious young man, and the entire com
munity feel to sympathize with him now.
A large force of rock masOns have been
at work during the week Oh the cellar walls
of J. Il. BaShOrd'S new store a few feet
west from the bank on Centre street. The
building will be 20 feet deep by % feet
front On Centre street and two stories high
above the basement. Now another large
building will be built west of Boshard's by
Smoot ~ Hathenbrucb, and another be
tween it and the bank building by Reed
SmOot These buildings will each be sew
enty feet deep and two stories high and to
gether viii form solid block with little
over 10 feet front on Main and Centre
street. and owned by Boshard. Hather-
bruck and Smoot, mostly SmOot. The work
of removing the old lumber building and
eXcavating for Lhe new will commence il
about ten days.

PROSPECTIVE TROUBLE.

The situation on the borders of the Indian
territory daily grows more serious, and
may be expected to become more grave as
the time for entering upon the new public
domain draws nearer. Only 1SS,70O acres
of land are opened to home-steaders by the
Presidents proclamation, which permits
settlers to enter the Oklahoma lands on the
22d inst. Provided there were no waste
land and no town sites to be taken into ac-
count, the 1SS, 200 acres would afford claim
Of 100 acres to but HOS settlers, and more
than three times that many are now
upon the borders Of the promised
land ready to rush down upon the broad
acres as soon as the sun shall touch the
meridian on April % What the situation
will be when three times more people than
can secure claims rush into the territory
can easily be imagined. The prospective
settlers are determined, not to say desper-
ate, and that anarchy for time will prevail
is most certain. Every man will have to
hold his claim by force of character, and his
success will doubtless depend upon his abil
ity to use the rife and pistol. Then will
follow law suits over contested claims, and
attempts to GUST claimants for illegal en-
tries; so that Oklahoma promises to be as
much of bonanza for lawyers as for set
tiers. General WEAVER, who has staked
out a claim for himself in the newly ac-
quired lands, said on returning to Topeka:
I have been all through the territory and
along the border counseling the intending set
tiers to wait patiently until the opening day, and
then 90 in peacefully. You can hardly imagine
the state of affairs existing on the border. Many
of the boomers are almost pennilesS and they
will have a hard time to hold on until the time
set in the Presidents proclamation. On April
y there will be a grand rush for homesteads,
and, as the supply will in no wise meet the de
mand, I am afraid there will be serious trouble
One might as well try to stop an avalanche as to
attempt to restrain these people now. They have
seen the beauties of u foothold. Many of the
early boomers are still hiding in the Oklahoma
timber and the troops will have difficulty in dis
lodging them Unless something can be done
to prevent wholesale pilgrimage next month
there will surely be trouble, not to say blood
shed.

THE ADMINISTRATIONS POLICY.

A reliable Washington correspondent
of New York paper sends to his journal a
long account of what is believed to be
nearly an official statement of the future
policy of the HARRISON administration. -
That statement is given in brief in our
Geographic columns, Iand may be outlined
as follows: The internal policy will not be
changed, but more rigorous foreign policy
will be pursued. A strong navy will be
built, and for this purpose the appropria-
ton for ships OF war will be
doubled. Ocean commerce will be encour-
aged Cuba and Samoa will be absorbed
as being of greater advantage to the United
States than to any other government. The
Nicaraguan canal will be taken under the
protection of America, and in general the
foreign interests of the nation will be
looked after as the most necessary thing
to be considered for our future welfare.

THE UTAH AND NORTHERN.

The two local notes that have appeared
in THE HERALD as to the running and con
duct of the Utah & Northern trains, have
met with grateful thanks Of the people Of
Cache Valley. Whatever changes may
have occurred in this vicinity of a nature
favorable to the people by the Union
Pacifc-and they have been many of late
have not been shared by the people OF
Cache. The Union Pacific managers have
done their level best to destroy the useful
ness of the Utah s. Northern, despite which
it has been the best piece of road they have
owned. 1t was built by the people of
Cache to Franklin from the south, and
almost since il passed into the
hands of the Union Pacific PEG
pie it has been used as an
instrument to take from the Cache folks
every cent that could be gotten and as little
given in return as possible. Nebraska
markets have been pitted against those Of
Cache The people nave been forced to
pav exorbitant rates for coal; they have
been forced TO treat in the main with
strangers: they have been snubbed by
petty wblpper-snappers, and have had no
accommodations or consideration worthy
of name. The Utah & Northern is the one
piece of the Union Pacific system that has
remained unchanged amid all the changes
that have believed the Union Pacific of some
Of the vile odor that once deseryedly
attached to it because Of It's management
in this vicinity. insufficient accommC-
dations are provided; the conductors do
not seem to care if one man has three Orfour
seats. and three persons with first class
tickets have TO stand, No extra cars are
but on and people who complain are told in
terms to 90 to -- This is ali due to the
fact that there is no competition. In the
teeth of this, the talk is that all the Cache
valley towns are to be put on a lOup and the
main line swung around so as to give them
a very cold shoulder. This viii leave them in
a worse fix than they are to-day, and more
at the mercy of petty officials than now.
There is no gainsaying the fact that MALT
the things the people of Cache have SUI
fered at the hands of the Union Pacific Off
Gals will never be told, ana that the local
comments of The HERALD have been drawn
mild in the extreme.
The Union Pacific cannot afford to have
such conditions exist, and in its late en-
deavors to do something for this section it
has failed to recognize the existence of
rights in the past of people along the Utah
& Northern. The hose should now be
turned on in that direction and some of the
petty orbs in that quarter be extinguished.

SMALLPOX AT PROVO
A. J. Stewart Brings the Disease
From Mexico.
THE CASE UNDER QUARANTINE.
Mayor Dusenberry Takes Steps to Prevent
COntagion-Is Salt Lake in Danger
Other Provo News.

Hearing the rumor to the effect that there
was a case of smallpox at Provo, a reporter
of THE HERALD last evening called upon
Judge Dusenberry, who is now in the city.
The judge had learned the particulars from
his brother, Mayor Dusenberry, as given
below.
About ten days ago, A. j. Stewart, of
CROSSWORD farm, returned from Mexico.
Two or three days ago, Mr.. Stewart went
from Benjamin to Provo, intending to come
to Salt Lake to attend conference. While
at the home of his son-inl law, August
Allen, in the Garden city, Stewart was
taken sick and DR.. Simmons called in.
The doctor thought it case of smallpox,
but to make doubly sure, DR.. Riggs was
also called in. The two physicians decided
that it was a case Of variolOid-a mild form
of smallpox.
Mayor Dusenberry Immediately estab-
| lished a strict quarantine about the house
where Mr.. Stewart is and all who have
been near him will be vaccinated at once.
| 1t is hoped by strict quarantine regulations
| to prevent the spread of the disease.
| 1t was also learned last evening that JOS
eph Mcclellan, who returned from Mexico
in company with Mr.. Stewart is now in
Salt Lake land the question is whether OF
notthere is danger of cOntagion from him.

THE CHINESE MUST STAY"

We have been so accustomed to hearing
the expression, 'sThe Chinese Must Go, ''that
it is almost startling to hear it said in tones
equally confident, ''the Chinese Must Stay
But when we learn that the latter expires
sion comes from Chinaman the astonish
ment wears OFF, except that there is lin
gering wonder why he should wish to stay
Gfter the treatment he has received from
the gentle Christians of the great republic.
Mr.. yam PHoN, LEE is the author of an
article under the caption quoted above,
1.-THE Chinese Must Stay" published in the
North american ReUiclU for April; and to
say that he conducts his case, the case of his
countrymen, with considerable skill, would
only be granting a need of praise due to
merit. Mr.. Van PHON LEES article consists
in the main, of an answer Seridttm to the
objections urged against Chinese immigra-
ton to our shores. To the objection that
the influx of Chinese into this country is a
standing menace to republican institutions
and the existence of the Christian civiliza-
ton here. he replied that that is a severe
reflection on republican institutions and
Christian civilization, and points out the
fact that our institutions have withstoOd
the strain of Is, 0O0, 600 of the lower classes
of Europe, among whom are anarchists,
socialists, communists, nihilists, political
assassins and cut-throats; but they cannot
endure the assaults of few
hundred thousand of the most easily
governed people in the world And as to the
extent that such influx would endanger
h. hn11c hot
must have lost some of its pristine power if
after subduing and ciVilizing one half of the
world it now stands powerless before a
handful of Chinese. ''Surely the Chinese
mist he angels or DEVILS he remarks. If
angels. they would go without your bid
ding: if devils, you would not be able to
drive them out"
To the charge that the Chinese have a
ouasi-government among themselves, he
enters an emphatic denial, except so far as
nnrelv benevolent associations could be
strained to mean such government.
To the complaint that the Chinese seem
IN have no desire for progress, he quotes
the fact that the Chinese government has
educated in the last fifteen years upwards
of two hundred students in Europe and
America, has built vessels and navy yards,
established schools and colleges on western
models. created a navy that would put the
American navy to shame, put up thousands
of miles of telegraph wires, and IS now
busily opening up railroads, putting up tele-
phones and establishing national bank.
To the assumption that the Chinese have
displaced American laborers by low wages
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-04-07

he may be simply a guesser. 1t is likely
that he is the latter. 1t is to be hoped so,
and that he is a bad guesser. Much as
political partisan might like to see Re
publican administration fail, he would not
like to see that failure come about through
disaster to the republic. A vigorous for
eign policy is what all true Americans
want, but what is meant by this is not that
we should reach out for new territory,
not that we should acquire, by subiugation
or willing annexation, islands or other
country not contiguous to our own,
and the possession of which would excite
either the jealousy or the anger of other
powers; the only vigorous foreign policy"
that the United States wants anything to
do with is that which will protect and make
respected, American citizens and American
rights in every quarter Of the
civilized globe. The United States
do not want Cuba and Sa-
moa unless they can obtain them in a
legitimate way and without involving this
country in trouble with other governments.
The best foreign policy for the United
States is that urged by Washington, when
he c, nseled against entangling alliances
and exhorted, by word and implication,
Americans to avoid the rocks upon which
the grasping governments of Europe were
wrecking themselves. AT home the United
States always have been and ever
will be great; abroad they never
can be otherwise than weak without endan-
gering theurepublic itself
l. IT,
about it to carry out what the correspon-
dent promises for him! Between the
President and the execution of his wishes
stands the Congress, with its grip on the
money bags and its directing and restrain
ing power over the executive. Without
its sanction and aid the President is feeble
indeed, and his policy is simply vain
idea The appropriation for war ships
may be doubled or halved as Congress, not
the President, may determine; the Nicara-
guam canal may be taken under American
protection or left to itself, as Congress may
decide, and islands may be annexed or let
alone as Congress may vote. Fortunately,
if the correspondent is really reliable in his
account Congress is so balanced between
the parties as to make it next to impossible
for the President to plunge the country
into trouble in order that he may pose as a
hero, with grand ideas of American aggres-
sion, progression and acquisition. Happily,
the traditional policy of being great and
independent at home, and of doing nothing
which will involve US in unnecessary
trouble with other powers, is firmly fixed
in the minds of the great majority of the
American people.

sPRISorrKLD, ILL.,, March 9-On the 25th of
January Mrs. Paulina King, q colored woman
of this city, had vision" in which she was
commanded by the Lord to fast for forty dsys
and forty nights. Being areligious fanatic, che
at once undertood to comply with the command.
There seems little doubt that the order was
carried out. For the first seven days she drank
no water even. Then the Lord appeared to
her again and commanded her to drink. From
that time on she took water until the 9th of
February, but since then she has drank moth
ing until yesterday, when her long fast ended.
The event was made the occasion Of feast and
merry making, which attracted great crowd
to the courthouse, where the feast was held.
The negroes brought in food in abundance,
and Mrs. King made a good square meal Of
oysters, cold turkey, ham. and other substan-
tials, which she seemed to enjoy greatly. When
Mrs. King entered ugon her fast she weighed
about 113 pounds, day or two ago she tipped
the balance at SO. She is much emaciated, but
declares that she did not suffer particle dur
ing her fast and had no desire for food Her
strength remained with her, and she did her
washing and ironing and performed her usual
household duties without Inconvenience. She
proposes now to become an evangelist She is
thirty-two years of age.
