expands and contracts at will; it holds
the power of kings and emperers, says
when there Shall be war and when
peace shall reign. 1t is the power which
today is dividing Europe. Asia and
Africa and would like to divide
America. The attack of Great Britain
on Venezuela is only the skirnish Of
what will follow, if allowed to prevail.
England is after the Transvaal, be-
cause it is in the richest mineral cOun-
try on the globe, except Colorado, Utah
and Montana. Had Jameson been Sue
cessful in his battle with the Beers,
England would have appreciated his
efforts, but as he was not, Salisbury
denounces them. 1t is a case - now
you see it now you don't; heads 1 win,
tails You lose game.
PRAISES CLEVELAND.
It is due to Cleveland to say, no mat
ter what his course may have been on
other matters, for the first time since
the administration of President Polk,
the Monroe doctrine has been properly
presented. The president declares 1t
as strong and sound His secretary Of
state, Mr. Olney, declares that American
non-intervention in the affairs of Eu-
rope, means European non-interventlon
in the affairs of America. The admins
tration interprets the doctrine as not
meaning that the United States will in
terfere in the collection of a just debt
from any nation on the western CONT
nent or that it will interfere when one
shall have been guilty of q gross WTonS'
but it says that every nation on the
western hemisphere shall have the right
to say what sort of a government 1t
will have and that no European power
shall interfere with the idea OF achleV-
ing any further advantages than those
already possessed.
The American republics are our al
lies and by reason of our interest IN
local self government we will not per-
nit them to be interfered with. This is
right the strong nation should protect
the weak.
PROUD OF HIS COUNTRY.
az am proud of my country and Of
this administration which stands for
this principle"
Salisbury admits that this principle
received approval at the hands OF her
majesty's government when enunciat-
ed, but says it does not apply now.
Conditions have changed. The speaker
read the record and showed that Sails
bury was wrong.
PRAYER FOR JOHN SHERMAN.
81 am glad to see that congress has
abandoned the manifest destiny prin-
ciple. [ am glad that it has taken the
action it has in relation TO Cuba. Per
haps in due time congress may listen
to the cry of CUR own people. Even
John Sherman is entitled to credit, If
for no other reason than that we give
the devil his due. Dives in he'll asked
for a drop of water to cool his parched
tongue God grant that in that which
waits him, John Sherman's action in
behalf of Cuba may mitigate the fear
full reward he will reap.
Now what means war? 1t IS some
thing beyond the waving of banners.
The Jews were led out Of bondage by
the god of battles. Magma charta was
obtained through the shedding of blood
The fathers of the republic fought for
the liberties we have.
Balfour says the man who would urge
a war between the two English speak
ing countries is guilty of crime. All
of which is sublime rot. War is just
ifiable in defense of a principle OH right
There are times when an appeal to
arms and the god of battles is all that
are left.
Generally war means bankruptcy 10
the houses of the vanouished. War
with England means no more alien
ownership in lands here. 1t means that
the money power will issue legal tender
money. And with US it would not be so
bad. We have behind US Russia and
Germany, for once the torch of war is
lit these armies will begin the taking
Of English territory all over the world
WILL THERE BE WAR?
Will there be war? Not if England
and Lombard street can help it Not
if Wall street can prevent it; or the
| bankers or the rotten daily press or the
still more rotten and currupt churches
and aristocracy of culture and refine
ment, which advocate English aggres-
sion in the east and hold UP their hands
! in horror at America attempting to
defend her rights.
| They held a tory meeting in New
York some months ago. Rev. Howard
! Crosby and Lyman Abbott and Park
hurst and a lot more of the reverend
! hypocrftes spoke. All were aghast at
war with England. but they didn't
mention English conquests which have
/ gone on since the day of Attilla the
! DESTROYER. whose boast was that no
gress grew where his war horse trod-
! England said the speaker, lis the
! whole of Babylon, mentioned in Holy
! Writ Sooner than invalidate Turkish
I bonds she will suffer poor Armenia to
I bleed and the innocent to suffer Yet
/ she is the Christian nation We must
not fight Gladstone is called a. grand
old man. Grand old nothing. There
never was a more servile slave to the
money power He said governments
are not conducted on humanitarian
principles and we can afford to see
/ prices of products go down Nice SEN
I timent for a grand old man. Milton
/ with all his genius, never put in the
mouths of his devils in perdition such
| a helIish sentiment as this one. Eng
/ land ought to be wiped off the map
War ought to come. 1t can come none
too soon. 1t will come unless some
body backs down and I know, thank
/ God, that it will not be Grover Cleve-
hand and the American people,
CONGRATULATES UTAH.
'I congratulate Utah on coming into
the union. BY your system OF cO-opera-
I ton and assistance you have brought
| into the union a state free from debts
They say you have a peculiar religion.
! Uncle Sam needs it. He needs some
kind of religion. I am told that east
of the Mississippi all the religion the
/ men have is in their wives names. I
believe that in the near future the Gen
tiles of this nation will raise their
hands and thank God for the brightest
star of all-the star of Deseret."
