The meeting was called to order by

THE EUROPEAN GAME.

The student of prophetic history
finds most interesting study in the
present diplomatic developments in
Europe, because OF their striking IL
lust alton of the accuracy of modern
prophecy. Among the many predic-
tions with which the Latter-day Saints
are familiar In one made over sixty
years ago regarding the supremacy
which Russia. then classed GO a semi
barbarous nation, would attain in
European affairs. The present situa-
ton tells It's own story as to where the
Muscovite now stands.
The visits now being made among
European rulers have peculiarly
notable feature. Not long since. the
kaiser called upon his grandmother;
but there were no felicltous diplo-
matte uttcTances on his part at the
meeting with Queen Victoria. More
recently he paid a visit to his royal
cousin: and the contrast at the meet
ing with Gear Nicholas IS Of the most
marked character. Now President
Taure has had good time with the
Russian ruler, and an alliance is the
matter Of congratulation. both in
Russia and France. AS it stands now,
Russia Is with Germany on the east
ern question; Russia is with France
on their mutual interests; the drel-
bund brings Germany, Italy and
Austria into firmer alliance. In the
whole combination, Russia stands at
the head--is the master OF Europe.
All the other nations are bound to her
by practically direct tics. and none
dare antagonize her in serious way.
And where is Britain? Just where
Russia and Germany wanted her to be
isolated from the rest OF Europe. In
the condition now presented. there Is
scarce a situation that can be sug-
gested where Britain must not meet
the combined opposition of the other
five, headed by the Russian car. The
Russian bear has its paw upon the
British lion, Whatsoever way the lat
ter chooses to move. Now, when this
Isolation OF Great Britain from the
European powers yields its natural
fruit, as 1t must do in a very brief
time. If anyone imagines that the
British nation will be made to perform
the part Of monkey-on-a stick for
the entertainment of the others with
out giving the new European CON
cert" u decidedly unmusirul time Of
It, he is mistaken. Young men of to-
day will not be venerable sires before
fur viii fly in Europe. The diplomatic
game there is nearing its climax.

tion company, and the question at is

favor Of the latter proposition, that is,
that n mortgage claim holds priority
over n tax claim and must be salts

that If the ruling Is upheld by the SUI

will mean severe losses to the several
states, counties and cities in taxes.
Judge Clark's ruling is doubt

the Constitution to the effect that
laws must not be made that impair the
validity of contracts, and that there

tract but high form Of contract be-

Its title rendered so obscure
that the state and subdivisions there

attempt TO reach it or its owner and
thus the tax which It ought to pay
