SEVERAL papers are giving exam
pies of the early age at which many
soldiers entered tho union army during
the civil war. Names enough will
soon be printed to show that the army
was very largely composed of quite
young boys. The confederate army
was chiefly made up of the same
material. The same thing may be
said of our army that invaded Mexico.

THERE is but one thing more costly
than European peace; that is European

, their little standing army laughed at,
contented that no more than toy
force is necessary.

The development of the new por-

A fictitious price is not real wealth.
Wealth must be represented by some
thing substantial, and you increase it
when you make two blades of grass
grow where one grew before.

WHY TTRARD FELL.

Inquiry is made as to the salient features
Of the Turkish treaty question, upon the
issue of which the Tirard Ministry was
oyerthrown in France last week The
thing is not at all involved, and is easy of
explanation. In 1861 France and Turkey
entered into commercial treaty. 1t ex-
pires by limitation in this year A little
over two years ago second or supple
mental treaty was agreed upon, but it was
not presented to the Chamber of Deputies
by the President, he fearing that its fate
would be rejection. Radicals in the
Chamber last month Intercepted the Gov
eminent concerning this treaty, and NJ
Tirard replied for the Cabinet that new
treaty must be drawn, but that the Admin
istration did not propose to ask conven-
tioa with Turkey just yet, for that pur-
pose that, so far as French exports TO
Turkey were concerned, the Government
would trus. to the most-favored nation
clause in the old treaty of 1902, which
been exchanged, and the Sultan had
therein recognized the clause as still bind
ing. This, explained NJ. Tirard, placed
France on level in Turkey, as to trade,
with Germany and England, both of which
countries had just negotiated highly
favorable treaties with the Porte. But
this was not satisfactory to the opposition
which soundly rated the Ministry for its
alleged weakness. They also stirred up
the wine-growers Of France upon the sub
.iect, who are much disturbed by the i'm
portation of Turkish raisins, from which a
cheap wine is made that has greatly cut
under the better wines of France. 1t was
therefore charged that for failing to insist
upon new treaty to protect the wine
growers, the Ministry was derelict of duty,
and on vote want of confidence was ex-
pressed, and the Ministry went down.

IDENTIFICATION OF CRIMINALS.

In the month OF May there will assem-
bic in the city of Chicago a convention of
Wardens of penal institutions in the
United States. The main purpose of the
meeting is to discuss the Bertillion and
other methods of identification. The
Bertiliion system is of French origination.
and simply is an accurate method of
measurement according to established
standards of proportion for the human
form, by which convict can be identified
with unerring certainty. The Legislatures
OF only few States have permitted it 10
be adopted, but wherever introduced it is
admitted to be of the highest value and
far superior to any other means of identi-
flying offenders. There is one reason why
1t has gained footing slowly-the opposi-
ton of certain sentimental philanthropists,
who insist that it is a means of persecut-
ing criminals who have expatiated their
crimes by serving out terms
We fail TO see where sentiment enters
IN. As matter of fact, the knowledge of
the prisoner that he has been measured
according TO a system that renders his rec
ignition in case of escape or a second
ofiense certain, no matter what DISCUSSES
he may assume, or how far age may en-
croach upon the lines of his form, is in
itself deterrent. If the man reforms and
leads decent life after his discharge the
measurement Of his body in the prison can
do him no possible harm. Besides, ident-
ification by photograph and general
description and the testimony of witnesses
is unreliable at best, and, as is well known
to officers, very often leads to the arrest
and incarceration of innocent men and
women. The structural conditions upon
which the Bertillion system is based are
"lnvarlable in the same person, and are
never exactly reproduced in another" 1t
is therefore a protection to innocent men,
We believe with the Chicago Inter- Ocean
that any system that will enable old
offenders to be traced through the different
iails and prisons and that will give Off
cials reasonably certain means of identi-
flying criminals is in the interest of good
government and cannot be considered as
persecution of the criminal The fact is
that the criminal classes now conceal
themselves easily and by DISCUSSES and
change of residence can practically defy
the police. Whatever will make their
Identification easy is therefore in the
direction of curling and limiting the I'M
lawful activity of the criminal.

stance, In the matter of extradition, the
South American States represented in that
body have gone beyond anything at
tempted by the treaties of any countries of
the earth. 1t is provided by the treaty
terms agreed upon by that statesman-like
body, that criminals may be extradited in
any cases where the punishment is equal
to certain fine and term of imprisonment.
This provision at once does away with the
necessity of naming the offenses for which
the escape from justice may be returned to
the jurisdiction from which he has fled.
There is, under such system, no possible
complications concerning the definitions of
crimes. Then, too in the matter of inter-
national copyright, the Montivedeo Con-
gress adopted schedule reciprocal in
character, that gives to the author of each
State in any other State to the compact,
all the rights he has in his own, subject to
the laws Of the locality, of course. The
same rule applies to trademark filings.
Each of the signatory powers grants to
the citizens of all others the same rights
in the matters of patents that they enjoy
a home, subject to certain periods of time
within which they must make their de-
claration. 1t is added that the term of
patents granted person shall run to the
limit of the law OF his country. There is
schedule specifying the classes of patents
to which this reciprocal arrangement shall
apply. So again in the matter of legaliz-
ing certain documents, perpetuating proofs
and certifying to the official character of
papers, the provisions are equally broad
and generous. Certainly the Montivedeo
Congress has given the world wholesome
lesson in the simplifcation of information
al law and in the courtesy due from one
civilized nation to another.

A DAUGHTER of Brigham Young has

defense Of polvgamy. She asserts.


A DAUGHTER of Brigham Young has
written in the North American Reriew
defense of polygamy. She asserts
Nowhere on the face of this wide earth is the
love of husbands for their wives and wives for
their husbands, so intense, SO thrilling and so
divine as it is here in Ctah The Mormos
women are working gradually at the sex prob
lem of the nineteenth century. The rapid pro-
gress OF the age finds resdy disciples in Mormon
wives, who feel the natural cravings for home
lite and children satisfied. yet withal have
ample time for the development Of every faculty
within them.
Nothing better could have been ex-
pected from daughter of Brigham Young
But the additional statement that polyg
amy does not debase women or degrade
them or make men more animal, is given
the lie by the fact that polygamous Nor
monism has given us no lives among men
or women that have demanded attention
from the world by their brilliancy of
thought, their genius or their intellectual
accomplishments and mental powers. If
polygamy does not destroy the individual
ity out Of which men and women of force
and aggressive character arise, then all
observation in Utah is at fault. Mrs.
Gage writes from the atmosphere in which
she was born and raised. She knows OF no
other, and is therefore not good witness.
That is, she knows of monogamy only by
repute, and as it obtains among Mormons,
and having seen through Mormon glasses
all her life, it is not surprising that she
writes in defense Of system that to all
the rest of the civilized world is abhorent,
and that flies in the face of natural law.

THERE is no subject to which the
Board of City Trustees can with greater
propriety turn Its attention just now than
that Of reforming the license system of
the city. That it is grossly unequal is
admitted on all sides. That it is unjust
in several respects is not denied But it
is especially weak, not to say vicious, in
this, that under i: the collector of licenses
can issue to whom he pleases, and the
Board has not reserved to itself the power
to revoke or forbid the issuance of a IL
cense. By the fundamental law the whole
license system is committed to the Trus-
tees. They erect it, and by ordinance they
have the right to limit it, and to provide
Just how the licenses shall issue, and under
what conditions. Had the law been what
it should be, license never would have
been granted to the people who opened the
Infamous den on Front street, of which
this journal complained the other day,
and which the police, after some vigorous
pTodding, broke up. 1t is public shame
that licenses should be obtained by that
class of people at all. No license should
issue to any one to open and keep a place
of public entertainment except on appli-
cation filed, of which notice should be
given and proof of fairly decent character
OF the fitness of the applicant The Trus-
tees should reserve the right to revoke any
license issued for cause specified, and
should by ordinance direct the clerical
officials not to issue licenses to keepers of
places or entertainment except on recon-
mendation Of say, the heads of the police
and health departments, and the approval
of the Mayor, and every license issued foI
such places should be accompanied by
bond, or the guarantee of Endorsement by
petition, that the place will be kept in an
orderly manner, and that liquors will not
be sold to minors. Certainly, in no other
city under the sun does governing Board
divest itself of the right TO supervise the
Issuance Of licenses, or of the power to
revoke license.

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT

The Newspaper Publishers Association,
the employing printers, through the Typo
theta, the working printers, through the
Typographical Union, have now indorsed
the international copyright bill, and it has
therefore only the opposition of those pes
slmistic souls who doubt the virtue of
everything and find danger to the country
in any arrangement of amity and Justice
made with foreign country. Though
international copyright is simply and only
reciprocity, the enemies of the bill in Con-
gress will not be convinced. However.
there are not enough such to now defeat
the passage of the measure. On this sub
ject the New York Times of a recent date
has this to say:
The bill is in the widest sense one for the de-
Tense OF American interests. Directly and midi
rectly the interests we seek to protect abroad
and at home are as important and as extensive
as the interests OF foreigners, to which we pro-
pose to do partial justice. Not that alone; we
cannot persist IN the narrow policy that, greatly
to our disadvantage, as well as our discredit
we have heretofore pursued without inviting
reprisals. Count de keratry has recently said
that II this measure we've not enacted the
French Government would find it very difficult
to resist the demand that American expcrts
and American patents should be subjected to
discriminating tax. 1t may well be that such
policy would find favor with the present
French Parliament which is strongly inclined
to protection. 1t would be a very easy and
very inexpensive defense against it to enact
measure which is in the highest degree adyan-
tageous to our own interests.
