1.-THE SHOEMAKER should stick to his
last" When Prince GEORGE Of Wales
took command of the gunboat, Thrush, he
also took upon himself the usual duty Of
conducting the religious service, according
to the Episcopal liturgy, on the vessel on
Sunday mornings. Everything went on
WELL apparently, but at the end of four
weeks some one suggested to the Prince
that he was not reciting the liturgy accord
ing to CRANMER, although the ships COM
pany were highly fattered by his render
ing of the we'll known sentence Of the Con-
fession. He had been reciting fervently
and humbly: "We have done those things
that we ought to have done, and have left
undone those things which we ought not to
have done" They say that Prince GEORGE
is jolly fellow, anyway.

ABOUT AMNESTY.

We learn that petition is being clrcu-
lated through the territory under "Repub-
lican auspices for signatures asking the
President to grant amnesty to those resi-
dents of Utah who were disfranchised by
the EDMUNDs and the TUCKER EDMUNDs
laws. Some pains are taken to keep the
matter quiet, fer reasons which seem valid
to some people but which are ludicrous to
others. The fear is expressed that the
Democrats might oppose the proposition
through jealousy that the wholesale pardon
by Republican President would be fol-
lowed by great boom for the Republican
party locally.
We apprenend that our friends of the op-
position are somewhat narrow in their
minds in that they cannot give those who do
not agree with them politically credit for
the common instincts of humanity, and
certainly those who are engineering this
business are not helping the cause along as
much as they might do if they were to
work openly and above board.
THE HERALD's position is and has been
ever since the Mormons discontinued those
practices which brought on the decree of
disfranchisement, that amnesty should be
proclaimed and every man who obeys the
laws be restored to full citizenship, with
all its rights and privileges. In saying this
we believe we express the honest sen timent
of all Democrats, both in and out of the
Mormon church. 1t is not a question OF
party politics, or who shall get q
party advantage; the matter is one
of right, of justice, of humanity
The law contemplates the granting OF
amnesty by the President, and it is cause
for surprise that the executive has not
done SO ere this. That he has delayed or
refused must be charged to his lack Of
confidence in the sincerity of the Mormon
professions and the honesty of their acts
This distrust on his part does Mr.. HARRI
SON discredit, when here IN Utah all who
are honest with themselves know that the
Mormons are as faithful to their promise
in the matter of the discontinuance of pc
lygamy as they were persistent and stub
born in its practice up until few year:
ago.
Our Republican friends need not try t.
hide their efforts. 1t is unnecessary
for them to try to sneak u+Y-
thing. The Democracy will .Ioi
oppose them; on the contrary, Democrat;
will do as much to bring about genera
amnesty to all who obey the laws as any
Republican can do, and will do it withou
regard to the political effect which the par
don might have on the parties here W.
don't know what proportion of the dis
franchised men of Utah are Democrats
nor do we care. We think we know tina
these men are keeping their promises ant
that Of their church to obey the law, and
that is sufficient to ertitle them to the re
covery of their citizenship. The one VIII,
would deny them this on account of thei
politics is himself unworthy of citizens ship

mediate relations is no new thing amongst
the Romanaffs. Peter the Great, when but
a boy of ten years, only escaped assassina-
ton by the myrmidons Of his half sister
the beautiful Princess Sophia-through
the heroism of his mother. Peter himself
was instrumental in the poisoning of his
eldest son, Alexis. Peter the Third, with
out doubt, caused the death of Ivan An
tonovitch. the then rightful occupier OF
the throne of Russia. Catherine the
Great sent her lover, Alexis Orlof, TO
poison her own husband. There is no court
in Europe In which the moral tone is lower
than that of ST. Petersburg. The Czar-of
whom less is known than of any potentate

member of society, and the Czarina is a

does not love her husbands countrymen,

PROF. HARNERs, of Washington, has re-
Gently stated the distance from the earth
to the sun to be within small fraction of
81, 500, 600 miles as the bee flies But the
German astronomers who observed the
transit OF VENUS in 1874 and 1882 calculated
the distance to be 81, 100000 miles, and this
result of their 754 different measurements
has lately been given to the public. Con-
sidering that in the age of PToLEMY there
were less than 5000, 900 miles of separation
between the earth and the sun, as then
computed little matter of 100000 miles
would not seem to make much difference in
a practical point of view.

THE HERALD feels like congratulating
the city on the new officers elected to take
charge of the affairs of the chamber of
commerce for the coming year. We be-
lieve the election marks the opening of a
new era of interest on the part of the bust
ness public of Salt Lake, and that many
men who have hitherto viewed the
operations of the Chamber with ap-
athy, will now rouse themselves
and join with will in further
ing the worthy aims of the institution.
The Board is specially strong, and repre-
sentative Of all our varying interests; the
president, Col. DoNNELLAN, and the new
secretary, Mr.. S. w. SEARS, could not be
bettered, and we look to see the Chamber,
in their hands, take on a new lease Of life
and enter upon new era of usefulness to
the community.

MARVELLOUS GRO WITH.

We recently saw it stated that contribu-
tons In England for missionary work
abroad amounted to upwards of a million
pounds sterling per annum. We believe it
is true that at the close of the year 1882
there was not a single Engllsh-speaking
missionary society in existence; and that
in 1862, twenty years before the beginning
OF the century we are considering,
VoLTAIRE, looking upon the reception
which his brilliant skeptlcism received
from the corrupt and iicentious society in
which he circulated, boastfully prophesied
that Before the beginning of the nine
teenth century Christianity would disap-
pear from the earth" But what are the
facts in the case7 Soon after the year 1872
the question began to be discussed as to
how the gospel might be carried TO
the heather, and in 1898 baptist
Missionary society," was formed. Two
years afterwards London Missionary So
ciety (CongregationaD was formed, and in
1899 the Church Missionary society (Epis-
copalian) had it's birth. Hence at the be-
ginning of the present century there were
just three missionary societies in England,
and these, in 1910. reported the following
meagre incomes Church Missionary So
ciety, 60, 467; London Missionary society,
Ell, 29S; Baptist Missionary society, e3, AL.
The report Of the Bible society for the
same year gave the receipts at e16, I21-
total for missionary purposes, eli, 12l-
while the past year there was a total con-
tributed of over e1,000,0O0. Surely this
century has witnessed marvellous change
not simply of scientific discovery, of in
Ventions, and of art, but of religious yea
and religious life, in some measure indi
Gated by the above facts.

FRED. L. AMEs. of Boston, who is the
largest individual stockholder of the Union
Pacific Railway companies, denies that the
road will be extended westward this year,
and his denial will be accepted, notwith-
standing the rumors which the enterprising
gentlemen of the press put in circulation
periodically The Union Pacific is not in
a condition financially to either extend its
line to the coast or antagonize other rail
ways by making bluff in that direction.
If any road reaches out towards the Pa

Rio Grande Western, which company seems

ways to the post, both starting from the

ferent directions, but both have the same
objective point. The Salt Lake road has

US, and if the Rapid Transit
Will do equally as good, we shall be well
served and also see that these railroads are
well patronized. 1t may be a little dull
now, but eight months of the year both
roads will have much to do to attend to the
traffic. Is 1t an impossibiliJy to put on
couple of freight cars and transport the
large amount of freight to and from the
post, the city and the depots 1t will be a
