LEGAL DETERMINATIONS.

Another trust is being formed, in
and in the knowledge of the attorney
general.
The St Louis Republic says that a
gigantic combination of lead companies
is about completed in Missouri, and
adds that Senator Mark Hanna and
J. Wyman Jones are large holders be-
hind the St. Joe Lead company, and
they are backed by John D. Rookie
feller.''
This makes about 100 strong trusts
now existing and operating in violation
OF the law.
They are ignored by the courts and
befriended by the officials whose duty
it is TO enforce the law.
But While ignoring this state of af-
fairs. Judge Bradley of the district
court at Washington delivered an opin-
ion this week, charging the Knights of
Labor with conspiring TO injUre the
trade of a business concern, and with
making an attempt to control and di-
rect the plaintiff. which. he says, was
impertinent, arbitrary and oppressive
interference with the rights and liberty
of another.
That trusts do that very thing, in
business, in dealing with other con-
Germs, in their relations with employ
ees, and at elections, makes no differ
ence TO the court.
Combinations are only objectionable
when they are labor combinations.

ooh, NY! | Wasn,t Scared

A surgeon relates that before Santi-
ago, he (the surgeon). going to the
front, came upon a young officer, sit
ting beside the road, trembling like a
leaf, and winter than the dead men
around him. At sight of the surgeon
he began to talk, says the San Fran
cisco Argonaut.
I'm a coward, I'm a coward, I'm a
coward he said; I knew I'd run, and
1 did. I'm disgraced forever. [ was
going along all right, not thinking of
anything but getting at the dashed
Spaniards, yelling to my men to come
on, and running ahead as fast as 1
could, when all of a sudden I STUDDED
my toe, or something, and then 1 cam
remember being scared, but L must
have been, for 1 came galloping back
here, sick as a dog. I'm a coward and
1 wish I were dead. Why don't some
body shoot me? I've got such an awful
goneness right here" and he put his
hand to his stomach.
The surgeon gave him a quick look
and caught him as he plunged forward
in a faint. Where the awful goneness
was q Mauser bullet had found it's bill
let. They carried the wounded man to
the field hospital, and he chuckled all
the way. "Oh, MY oh. my!' he said,
over and over; II wasn't scayedl l

laugh delightedly. Il wasn't scared.

DUTIES AND PLEASURES.

The people of the state are mem
bers Of one great family. They are
more than neighbors when the holiday
season comes around. And those who
dwell in the city are very closely re
lated in the brotherhood of Yuletide.
Some are wealthy, many are well-to-
do, and others are in fairly comforta-
ble circumstances; but many are also
poor.
When times are good and money is
plentiful they can pay their rent and
provide the bare necessities of life.
This year they are little better off
than usual in Utah, although in many
of the states there VIII be much suf-
fering from cold and neglect.
The majority of those who work are
living from hand to mouth, as it were,
unable to lay up anything for a rainy
day much less for a holiday. Their
daily earnings are consumed by their
daily needs and there is no margin
upon which 10 build air castles, no
surplus from which TO derive the pleas
ures OF hope.
There are 100, probably 200, families
IN this city, the heads of which,
through incapacity, error, or misfor-
tune, are unable to get constant en-
ployment. These families are without
resources. Whatever may be the vice
or improvidence which has brought
about such condition, the babies are
not to blame; the little boys and girls
should not be held responsible And
they should not be forgotten when
Christmas comes.
It viii make US all better, it will
cause US to feel better at least, if we
know that all these unfortunate little
ones are not entirely neglected. 1t will
be commendable if those who have
give something to those who have
not; if they share their loaves with
those who have not loaves.
There are several agencies through
which charity may be distributed.
Most Of the churches are looking after
the poor, as FAR as possible; the SAL
walton Army is paying particular at
tention TO such work, and these are
agencies upon which people may rely
often better than upon their own judg-
ment, as a busy man or woman has
not the time to investigate rs to
whether or not cases are deserving.
Everybody-tha is, every man and
woman who has steady employment or
a regular income-can afford to give
something. The amount is no ones
business. Everyone knows his circum-
stances best. But if it is only a pit
lance, it may carry joy to the heart of
some poor babe, a little warmth to
some cold room.
1t IS a pleasure to help the helpless,
10 make others happy, to do good. 1t
is a duty, too.
Give, and receive the benedictions of
the poorl Give, and look into the
laughing eyes of poverty's children for
your reward!

THE MAN-KILLINe HABIT.

The daily register of crimes is
shocking; not because Of the number.
but on account of the atrocity of some.
a Kansas woman, for instance, was
arrested the other day on a charge of
wholesale murder. Her husband had
suddenly left her a widow An in
vestigation revealed arsenic in his
stomach: it also showed that five prior
husbands followed each other in rapid
succession from this vale of tears The
more recent remains We're taken up and
traces of arsenic We're found.
She formed a habit of killing nus
bands and couldn't swear off, it seems.
1t was a periodical craving for dead
men, just like the appetite Of an ordi-
nary drunkard. Tennyson has it that
in the spring a young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love. In
the autumn this self-made widow
seemed to have a fancy for funerals.
She only killed one spouse a year,
which was not many, to be sure, but
looking at it in another light, it was
quite enough.
This discovery may cause some pes
simistic people to shake their heads and
say that crime is on the increase. But
the very fact that this man-killer has
been apprehended shows that So far
as her field Of operations is concerned,
at least, it is on the decrease. As long
as she is in custody and prevented from
the further contracting of marriages,
she VIII not be able to slaughter any
more husbands.

RRYAN's POPULARITY.

Almost every goldbug organ in the
country is ridiculing the patriotism and
ability of William j. Bryan. This
proves two things:
First, that they do not believe what
they are saying about Bryan; for, If he
answers. the description they give, he
isn't worth the space they bestow upon
him, not only from time to time, but
from day to day.
Second, that they are not so sure that
silver is dead as they profess to De.
The fact of the matter is that Will
liam ]. Bryan is as popular today, in
spite Of the sneers of bIackguards and
the ridicule of soldier-haters, as he
was in 1896; and the only thing that
stood between him and the leadership
Of the American army and navy then
was Hanna's barrel and the intimida-
ton of employees by heads of trusts
and corporations.
The Washington Post, itself a long
ways from being friendly to Mr.. Bryan,
prints the following on its editorial
page:
''The popularity and prestige of w.
j. Bryan show no sign of waning in
Tennessee" said Hon. William D. Will
liams. of Knoxville, state railroad COM
missioner elect, at the Normandie
Il saw 10000 people assembled in the
streets of my town to welcome Mr..
Bryan in 1896, and he would draw just
as large a gathering there today. He
is the greatest leader of the people since
Andrew Jackson. In any assemblage of
Democrats in my country the mention
of his name evol1es as wild applause
now as it did when he was a presi-
Dental nominee. That he win be nom
mated in 1900 1 think a fOregone con-
clusion. Nobody else is being consid-
cred; nobody else will be thought of as
the next Democratic standard bearer.
What is true of Tennessee is, feel
assured, true of every other southern
state so far as regards Colonel Bryan.
In every state of the south he retains
the undiminished regard of the people"

DR.. lifts STATEMENT
the editor of The Herald:


Your special correspondent of Logan
says in The Herald of Dec. 20: HE
(Dr. .Ilif) was unusually severe in his
structures upon the Mormon church and
Mormons i'll general This is not the
fact "He denounced the church au-
thorities as being insincere in their ut
terances upon the question of po-
lygamy." This also is incorrect. de-
nounced no one, not even Mr.. Roberts
himself. I simply gave the history and
quoted the exact language of the au-
thorities as given in manifestos and
petitions for amnesty and statements
under oath. "The material progress of
the state, he claimed, was due to Cen
tile energy" I gave both credit and
praise in unmistakable and liberal and
repeated words to the work done by
the Mormon people in the development
of Utah. l also spoke in praise of what
non ormons had done. Speaking OF
his trip east, he said people there es-
pecially the inhabitants of Rhode Is
land, were determined to prevent Rob
erts from being seated" I said nothing
whatever about Rhode Island. l never
referred to my late trip east, never
spoke of Rhode Island.

Couldock's Apology.
Cleveland Leader.l


Many years ago. when the late Mr.
Couldock belonged to the Cleveland
stock company, the organization went
down to Akron to perform for one con-
secutive night.
Shortly before it was time for the
curtain to rise, the leading lady went
to the manager and tearfully informed
him that she had been insulted by Mr..
Couldock. Moreover, she declared that
she would never go on the stage with
the old man again.
The manager wanted to know how
Cl9ldock had insulted her. but she
sobbed that what he had said was too
horrible for her to repeat.
Then the veteran was sent for, and
when confronted by the leading lady,
he was asked to explain what he had
said or done to hurt her feelings
WELL" he growled, 81 suppose L was
rather rough. told her hades was full
of such leading ladies as she is, but 1
take it back. The place isn't quite full.
There's still room for her.
His apology was not, of course, all
that the leading lady could have asked
for, but it was Couldock's way. So they
forgave him, and the performance went
on.

Indianapolis papers announce that
Dr. s. e. Wishard is trying to stir up
a sentiment there against the seating
of Utah's congressman-elect. Rev w.
Z. Campbell is in New York, lecturing
on the evils of Mormonism, from which
he argues that Mr.. Roberts should be
refused admission to congress. The
Cincinnati presbytery, after discussing
the question, has concluded that the
only way to meet the issue is to add an
amendment to the constitution, defin-
ing marriage as homogeneous, and for
ever prohibiting and making unlawful,
and punishable as crime, all polyg-
amous, plural, celestial or any other
so-called marriage. except that of
monogamy. The preachers everywhere
are taking the contest off the shoulders
Of the politicians, who started it, But
one politician appears anxious yet to
make the fght-Alma Eldredge of
Coalvile-and he pretends to fairly
struggle in the restraining arms of the
Republican state committee.

admirably told by Henry Arthur Jones,
the author Of The Silver King" and
Saints and Sinners" and it was first
produced in America by Mr.. Sothern
and Virginia Harmed. 1t is a strong
story, and while it deals with an i'm
moral theme, it conveys a powerful
moral lesson, and the lesson it teaches
is none the less a, healthy one, that
questionable materials are used to il
lustrate it. Miss Bates was a triumph
in the role of the fickle-hearted dancing
girl. Few receptions have been ac-

SIR IOUIS DITIES,S VISI7.


HIS Favorable Reports on the RrauItn or Hts
NiNsiou TO wnRhInEtou.
OTTAWA. June 4--sir Louis Davies, Minister
OF Marine. has returned from Washington. He
speaks in the highest terms of the way in which
no was received by the American authorities.
After he had taken his seat in tho
House tho leader OF the opposition inquired
what success had attended his visit. The
Minister replied that he had gone to Washing
ton to take part in the negotiations for the
purpose of settling existing difficulties between
Canada and the United States. He had inter
views with the President and the officers ap-
pointed to meet the British ambassadors and
himself. and they daily went over these ques-
tions one after another. discussing them in u
cordial spirit of good will and amity.
After q long discussion we came to an agree
ment, which was put in proper form and duly
signed by the several gentlemen on the commits
sion, and which has been forwarded TO the Gov
ernments OF Great Britain and the United
States for their approval. have no reason to
doubt that such approval win be given in both
cases, and IL it Is there Will bU u joint com
mission appointed BY, the two nations, which
will meet at an carly day for the purpose of dis.
cussing and settling. and putting in the form Of
a treaty If possible. all the several questions
which were discussed at our preliminary meet
ing. The city of Quebec has been chosen as tho
place of meeting.
II am pleased to say that as far as | am able to
guage public opinion in the United States there
never was a time more favorable for a fair meet
ing of minds and a discussion OF unsettled uues.
tions. l am not without hope that II q commits
sion is appointed it Will DO able to arrive at such
q solution Of all. or nearly NIL, those questions as
will be satisfactory to the people OF both coun-
tries"
The Premier said: " 1t is true that in the past
our relations with our neigbbors have not al
ways been as cordial as they should have been.
but perhaps it Is just as well at this moment not
to inquire who was in the wrong and who in the
right. l think we can say that from this mo-
ment the past had better be forgotten and the
present indications are such that we may hope
that. in future. amity and peace will prevail be-
tween the two nations, and that the cordial re-
Iations which now exist between the United
States and Great Britain will extend wherever
there are nations which have acknowledged
and still acknowledge the sovereignty of Eng
