REAL WAR

The intense desire on the part O.
the majority of people to have q wa,

only equal.ed by the general ignor-
ance of the public of thu nature Of
actual war.

a combination of gay colors, martial
music, victories, glories won on bat
tie fields and the grand welcome home
of the vlctors, To many people it is
a sort OF military picnic, and no one
Will deny that in war the enemy are
always on the run.
The part which is the most invit-
ing and picturesque about war is the
accommodating way the enemy has Of
always being ready to run as soon as
the troops and battle ships of our
own country appear.
1t is also understood that the
moment war begins times get good

The Wyoming Press. published at
Evanston. in its issue of the 22nd inst.
has communication from Charles
Kingston, representing the Mormon
people" which opens discussion of
Mormonism In the columns of that pa
per. Appended to the communication
Is the tract, in its entirety, issued by
the Presbytery Of Utah and entitled
Ten reasons why Christians cannot
fellowship the Mormon Church." The
Intention seems to be to review those
reasons. that men, hearing both sides
of this controversy, may Judge for
themselves whether or no even the
Mormons have not some good reasons
to offer for believing as they do"
The party who Is engaged in distrib-
uting the tract is invited by Mr.. Kings
ton ito take up with me a friendly
and Christian-like consideration of the
principles involved.
Such u discussion, II property con-
Quoted on both sides, may be made in
teresting and profitable to those who
peruse 1t; but 1t may easily degenerate
into a war of words and personalities
of no benefit to any one. No doubt
many readers Of the Press are antici-
pating an entertaining debate upon the
subject indicated, to appear in its
columns.

ONLY A spEcrER.

Professor Closkie, who occupies the
that we are confronted with two seri-
Gus problems. namely, the increase of
population and the decrease in the sup
ply of food. He thinks Science" is
about to find the means of solving these
problems.
1t may be considered passing strange
that scientists still endeavor to revive
the Malthusian scare about natures
inability to provide food for her chill
dren. 1t has been proven that the ca
pacity of the earth to sustain life has as
yet not been tested very severely. The
possibilities of intensive farming may
be limited. but the limits have certainly
not been touched. There is no reason
why Texas, for instance. should not
sustain about seventy million people
and yet not be any more crowded than
Japan is. Every state in the Union
would, II the necessity for II arose. be
capable Of maintaining millions, with
proper economy OF soil and wise dis
tribution of the water that is being
wasted. 1t Is time enough to speak
about scarcity OF food when all the
resources have been utilized to the ex-
tent that 1t can be truthfully said
there are no more.
Another important fact is this, that
nations do not grow in equal proper
ton at all times. Spencer and others
claim that individual development gen
orally is accompanied by decrease In
the birth rate. Whatever the cause OF
this phenomenon Is. the fact seems TO
be established, France Is an Illustration
of IL. and statistical figures covering
the eastern states point in the same
direction. Instead of n problem of over
population. there is one of the opposite
nature, TO which some day, perhaps, the
serious attention Of the wise men OF
tho earth viii be- directed The
Malthuslan idea is an ugly speoter, the
creation of an il-governed Imagination.

The pioneers of Utah. nearly all Of

supposed to be Mormons and Mormons
are looked upon MS barbarians.
Here. too. there are fewer people

but would assert that the exaitntlon
OF material interests above the spirit

He would state further that the mission
of his people is to regulate the world
and establish n universal brotherhood.
This Is said to be the dream of the
millions who obey implicitly the man
dates of the car. They believe in their
ruler as they do in their God, and they
look forward 10 n day when all the
world will be under salvonio control.
This is only another way OF stating
that the advent of the Slav seems to
imply the revival of the con-
nlct between the old and new
princlples-between despotism and de-
mocracy, superstition and reason. 1t Is
true enough that western civilization
has made much progress In Russia. but
those acquainted with conditions there
notice that even the educated classes
remain. first Of all, Slavs. They may
profess hostility to the existing gov
ernment-if they dare to speak at all
on the subJcct--but at heart they be-
lleve in the mission of their people;
they may profess to be atheists, but
their religious instincts are very much
the same as those OF the common
moujlk. Were they called upon to face
the world for the furtherance OF their
supposed national mission. they would
do so with the enthusiasm Of the
ancient crusaders.
The entire history Of Russia seems to
favor the supposition that she at some
future time has n destiny to fulfill.
From a small beginning she has risen
to unparalleled power. What at first
was only the consolidation of some in
significant barbarous hordes has be-
come an empire of gigantic dimensions.
Almost every year adds new strength
to her powerful arm. new wealth TO
her vast resources. Other nations have
grown to maturity, decayed and passed
away within the period of her history,
but Russia remains, still growing. That
this is for purpose, no believer In a
Providence can doubt. Opinions may

No MOVE FOR PEACE.
Good Offices Of Austria Have Not
Been Invoked.

Washington, June 10.-Reports from
Madrid that Spain, through the minister
of foreign affairs. Count Alamadovar de
Rio, had taken formal steps toward
securing peace, have not been made ap-
parent by any action in Washington, up
to this time. There has been no PROPOSE
tion for peace or for an armistics nor has
there even been an entering wedge of in
quiry as to how such proposition would
be accepted. The Madrid reports stated
that the Spanish ambassador to Austria
had been instructed to seek the good
offices of Austria in bringing forward the
peace proposition. But if this be true,
the Austrian minister, Mr.. Won Hongel-
muller, has not conveyed to the State
Department any indications that Austria
is ready to act. On the contrary, Mr..
Won Hon2elmuller does not appear to
think that his services will be required
here In the near future as he leaves next
Tuesday for New London, Conn.,, taking
his official staff, for summers vacation.
At the same time, the prospects of peace
continue to be discussed In diplomatic
circl es and it is known that at least one
of t. great powers of Europe stands
ready to act as peace mediator in case the
u nited States will make a suggestion that
suoh a movement would not meet with
disfayor.

Industries and Traffic.

New York, June 1o.-R. 6. Dun g.
Co., in their weekly review of trade will
say:
"The nation has been thrilled during
the past week by the heroic action of Hob
son and his associates and the certainty
that the Spanish Atlantic fleet is i'm
prisoned and powerless to do harm has
helped to make the tone of markets more
confident Every step of progress during
the week which has looked toward san
early termination of the struggle has been
reflected in the market and in lower rates
for money. All Industries have felt the
uplifting influences. The cotton manus
facture has been more embarrassed than
any other, owing to causes not connected
with the war but has found larger de-
mand for goods and higher prices for
print cloths in general conviction that
the point of difficulty has passed. In the
woo1en industry, with much larger con%
sumption in manufacture than ever bes
fore, there has been no urgent demand
for materials. The iron manufacture
shows a reduction in output SO small that
consumption is evidently larger than ID
was month ago. In finances the grow
ing anxiety to lend, even on long ex.
changes at low rates in place of ship
ments of gold to this country, begins ID

other craft, including vessels suitable for
conveying fresh water, stores, etc., and
for lightering the troops and stores from
the ships to the beach when the debarka-

cession exceeding in magnitude the

The first official confirmation of the en- i.
gagement at Guantanamo last Tuesday
came to the Navy Department. today and
was made the subject Of bulletin. The
terms in which Admiral Sampson de-
cribed the affair tended strongly to take
away the large Importance given it in
the unofficial dispatches. There was a
notable failure on the part of the admiral
to mention anything like a landing, al
though the statement that the Marblehead
now holds the lower bay by Implication
NAV carry with it the idea that her
marines are ashore. Elderly naval officers
who have been in Guantanamo bay de-
scribe it as admirably suited to the recep-
tion of transports, with plenty of water
for the biggest of the transports and
enough for the smaller class of warships
that might be used to convoy them. The
locality Is one that would make good
base of operations against itself should it
be decided to attack the latter town by
troops from the rear instead of by the
wsrsAips.
The statement from San Francisco that
the real object of the Charleston's voyage
was the seizure of the Spanish Ladrone
islands, has small basis of truth IN it.
When 1t was decided to send the monitors
monterey and Monadnook from Mare
lsland to Manila, it was known that this
cou!d not be done without sending along
corners, because of the insufficient coal
supply OF the monitors. 1t was not deemed

they had simply come in here for coal and
water and would sail tomorrow afternoon
