in its scientific aspects. 1t goes very

No .Church influence"

In the present discussion about the
senatorship Of Utah, the question of
Church influence" should be elimin-
ated, for the sufficient reason that it
has no foundation in fact, at least not
in the quarter where it is so eagerly
looked for. There is a growing con-
viction among those who are intelIi-
gently watching developments that the
hue-and-cry has been raised solely to
brighten those concerned from perform
ing their duties to the state, as their
personal and patriotic convictions
would prompt them, for the purpose of
inducing them to follow the lead of
ambitious aspirantS for political
honors. How far this impression is
correct we do not presume to say, but
we do most emphatically state that
wherever such tactics may be adopted
the plan should be frustrated at once.
The legislators are here not in the
interest of individuals. They cannot
turn over to ambitious politicians the
allegiance they owe the state and their
respective parties, without betraying
the sacred trust of the people and
branding themselves as unworthy of
confidence. They understand this and
know very we'll that their duty is to
see that none but the best qualified
are sent tc the seat Of the national
government as the representatives of
the new state Qualification and po-
litical Affiliations, not creed, must be
the only considerations.
Were this not so, the greater part of
the male population in this state would
be barred from the rights accorded
every citizen in the United States.
since they belong to a church in which
nearly every man holds some eccles-
iastical Office, some portion Of the holy
priesthood. To maintain that this
fact operates against the performance
of any duties TO the state is to take
issue with the constitution itself; to
urge that some ecclesiastical officers
can properly hold civil offices, while
others cannot without mingling to-
gether two opposite elements. is an
apparent absurdity.
The very position of the ecclesias-
teal Office of the Latter-day Saints.
from the highest to the lowest,
is such that other denominations pre-
sent no parallel cases. The latter have
officers specially trained for eccesiasti-
cal service. In many instances the
training has been obtained at some
body else's expense with the under
standing that their lives should be de-
voted to the spiritual service of the
denomination. Almost without excep-
ton they are by oath or promise bourd
to devote their time to that kind of
work and they generally receive a sal

Boys Are Being Recruited for the British
Army in the Leading Cities.
From the New York Press
To keep the ranks of the British
army full these days is no small task,
and the recruiting officers often are
Obliged to enlist mere children anG
young men who do not come up to tho
physical requirements laid down for
recruits. These latter are called ''spe-
cial enlistments." To keep the high
land regiments full the authorities
have sometimes been compelled to en-
list men from the slums of London
The annual waste of the British army
from deaths, desertions, retirements
and expiration Of enlistments amounts
to $4,000 a year-considerably more than
the whole standing army of the United
States.
In an article on the Land Forces of
the Crown" i'm the Navy and Army IL
lustrated, Lieutenant John Graham of
the British army says: THE annual
waste of the army must be made good,
although the state Of the labor market
and other circumstances may have
stopped the flow of desirable recruits
The consequence is that the standard
is sometimes lowered to a dangerous
degree, both as to age and physique.
and the phenomena known as the child
soldiers and 'Whitechapel highlander
became rife in our midst"
The inspector general of recruiting
of the British army in his report be-
walls the difficulties which beset him
in keeping the British army in India
supplied with recruits not under 20
years of age. these difficulties arising
from the constant enlistment of i'm
mature lads" OF the enlisted men in
the British army England furnishes
162, 900 men; Ireland, $4,000, and Scot
land. 16.O00.

REFUSED A GIGANTIC LOAN.
French Banker offered to Back the Con-
federacy to a Large Amount.


From the Raleigh. N. c., Observer.
The success which the government has
met in negotiating its recent loan brings
TO mind an Incident In the financial his
tory of the late confederacy not gener-
ally known, and which may be interesting
and instructive to recall. In the winter of
1S62-6S the confederate congress decided
20 place a loan of $4,000. 900 on the Euro
pean market. The French financier who
came over here to confer with the author
tiles at Richmond, Va. in the matter
strongly urged upon Mr.. Meminger. the
secretary OF the treasury, and upon the
joint committee of the congress the ad-
visibility of making the loan 500, 600, 900
or $500. 100000 or $500. 600, 0o0 stating IL
would be the most desirable to get his
country and other European states finan-
cially interested in the confederate cause.
AS the payment of the loan was to be
contingent upon the success of the South,
those thus financially interested could be
expected to exert an influence favorable
to the confederacy. and might force their
respective governments to recognize the
independence of the Southern states, and
lend them valuable aid, as a means of Sc
curing the payment of their money thus
subscribed. 1t appears that Secretary
Meminger favored the suggestion of the
French banker, but the congress decided
to adhere to its first determination, and
in February, 1868. the loan was placed on
the Paris bourse. When the result was
announced IL astonished Europe and con-
victed the confederate authorities of a
failure in craftsmanship. Bids amounting
to more than $1,000 5000 were made.
1t is idle now to speculate as to what
erect on the prosecution of war the in
vestment of so large a sum of money by
the people of France in the fortunes of
the confederacy would have had; but it is
entirely possible that the emperor, Napo-
leon III, would have felt obliged to rec
ognize the political authority of the
Southern states. when his countrymen
evinced In way so remarkable their SUI
preme confidence in the ability of the con-
federacy to obtain its independence. Rec
ognized by one of the great powers of
Europe. and with s400.000.o 900 of gold on
hand for the purchase of ships and other
military supplies in the spring of 1868, the
strategy of the Gettysburg campaign
might not have been required and the
thousands of valuable lives sacrificed
from that time on to Appomatox might
have been saved to the South.
