COPYRIGHT SUIT wITuDRAwN,

Some days ago the News" gave the
particulars of suit planted by the
New York Herald against the San
Francisco Chronicle to obtain
an injunction against the lat
ter paper prohibiting II from
reproducing news matter copy
! righted by the former The
Chronicle took the ground that news
is not subject to copyright. and that
no paper, merely by paying a dollar,
the copyright fee. can prevent all other
papers from publishing a piece of
news.
The Herald evidently was not
prepared to withstand the storm
of journalistic censure which its
attempt on the Chronicle raised.
and a few days after the
press of the country began to COM
ment on the matter withdrew the suit.
Since the withdrawal 1T has published
an announcement that 1t does not OBJ
ject to the reproduction of its news
dispatches on the following day, pro-
vided due credit is given to IL; but II
protests against their publication In
any other paper on the same morning
on which IL prints them. Relative to
this phase of the subject the Chronicle
says:
From this we infer that our New
York contemporary has been lnvesti-
eating the matter of copyrighting
facts and has come to the conclusion
that Its position is not so strong as II
Mt first imagined 1t was. The per-
mission to print on the ensuing day
is in the nature OF an admission that
1t Is u manifest absurdity to assume
that because u newspaper gains
knowledge of a fact In advance of its
contemporaries, or by some means or
other secures possession of an import
ant document, by paying dollar as
copyright fee 1t can enjoS the eXclu-
sive privilege of disseminating the In
formation II has acquired for the
period of twenty-eight years.
Our contemporary after little fur
Their investigation viii find that its po-
sition Is made no stronger by Its pro-
posal to allow papers to print its copy
righted facts after the lapse of n day.
II the law does not give 1t a monopoly
for twenty-eight years 1t does not do so
for twenty-four hours. As matter of
fact. II does not afford protection for
three minutes, the lawmakers never
having designed to extend the privi-
leges of the copyright law to publish
ers to enable them to enjoy a monopoly
OF the dissemination OF news. The copy
right law Is what II purports to be on
its face; 1t is merely n protection to
that sort of property which may be
properly termed n product OF the intel
lect 1t is not Intended to cover news.
There can be no ownership In n fact
once made public. The instant a piece
of news is related it ceases to have
property value"
1t looks as If the great New York
paper had been trying to run a big
bluff on its coast contemporary and was
attempting to hedge. In the opinion of
this paper nothing but defeat VIII come
of its efforts to prevent other papers
from printing the news.

APPENDICITIS.

\ few years ago the diagnosis of
appendicitis produced great consterna-
ton, and there were very good reasons
why 1t should. the chief one being the
high mortality attending the disease.
But science has been dealing with
Its difficulties and dangers with
such success that the disorder
Is fast losing its terrors. If
things go on as they are going now,
an operation for appendicitis will be
but trife more serious than the pull
Ing Of a tooth. In late issue of the
Medical Record (New York; Is paper

experiences and success in dealing

MoHMoNIsM IN PORTLAND.

About the opening of this year,
Elder w. c. Parkinson. Bishop Of
Preston. Idaho, and his brother Elder
Samuel c. Parkinson, went to the city
of Portland. Oregon, on a short winter
mission to which they had been duly
appointed. intending to labor in that
city and vicinity, for two or three
months. They encountered much diff
fculty in making an opening, and felt
as II they We're laboring under n cloud.
They met with an intense anti-Mormon
prejudice, and In fact found the city
about twenty years behind the tlmcs
in the views Of Its people regarding the
Mormons. one OF the first moves the
missionaries made was to visit the edi-
torial rooms Of the Tribune and Oregon
ian. The former paper promised to
treat them fairly. but soon afterwards
published a vicious article in relation
to them. The editor-in-chief of the
Oregonlan assured them that 1t was the
policy Of his paper to give everybody
fair play, and that they would be salts,
fled with the treatment II would eX-
even more friendly in his assurances.
Several times the Elders rented u
hall and advertised meeting, but the
attendance was very slim, and some,
times no audience at all appeared.
They were informed of a Methodist
church which was frequently used by
other denominations, and thinking they
might have more listeners In 1t. they
applied to the minister for It, He re.
fused TO let them use it. was very Bit
ter in his conversation with them. and
refused to listen to their explanations
or to read the literature they offered
him. few days later there appeared
In the oregonian an interview with this
minister. in which he denounced the
Mormons, gave garbled quotations from
sermons Of some Of their leaders and

INVALID MARRIAGES.

The supreme court Of Pennsylvania
has recently rendered decision re-
garding the validity OF marriages, that
may be of interest to people in other
states. 1t has generally been held thnt
a marriage ceremony performed in any
state is valid in any other state. and
accordingly persons barred from mar
rlage relations by the statutes Of their
own state have sometimes gone to other
places, where the limitation does not
exist, and afterwards returned to their
home state to enjoy the conjugal happi-
ness thus obtained. The Pennsylvania
decision declared that where persons
domiciled in the same state and sub
ject to an absolute statutory prohlbl-
ton against their marriage, on grounds
OF good morals and public policy, leave
the state of their domicilo and enter an
other where their marriage is not pro-
hlbited. and are there married for the
express purpose Of evading the laws
of their own state. such marriage Is
void"
II this is good law, II will affect many
people. It Involves both the title 10
property and the Legitimacy OF children.

| grossly misrepresented their theology
The Elders wrote a reply to what the
preacher said and It was published in
the same paper At about this time
several other articles relating to the
Mormons also appeared In that paper.
This newspaper agitation. though
mostly hostile to the Elders, resulted
in creating an interest In their work.
a Meeting announced by them soon af-
ter the publication In the Oregonian OF
the interview with the Methodist minis
and fair report of II was printed in
that paper. The Ice was now broken
to an extent that convinced the Elders
that Portland offered promising field.
bat duty required them to leave FOR
San Francisco on the day after the
meeting. Pending the developments in
Portland above narrated. the Elders vis-
tied and held meetings in a number of
towns in the vicinity. making many
friends and finding several old time
members of the Church who still re-
tain some faith and viii probably re-
new their covenants.
The missionaries left Portland by
steamer on March %, and on Sunday
the eth, by invitation, preached to the
passengers. After brief stay in the
coast metropolis they came home and
are now attending Conference In this
city. The large meeting they held
just before leaving Portland occurred
on the evening of March 2ith. on the
following day the Oregonan sent re-
porters 60 interview a number of min
listers of the city In regard to Nor
monism, and the next morning. the
10th. devoted two and half columns
to the sentiments upon the subject
said to have been expressed by ten ex-
Founders of salvation who talked for
publication.
Such an advertising as those minis
tiers gave of Mormonlsm, and of their
own Ignorance respecting the real ma
ture and teachings Of the religion they
We're assailing. was something won
derful. The series of interviews with
them Is prefaced by the following
paragraph:
News that two Mormon Elders are
holding missionary meetings ON the
East Side has aroused intense indig-
nation among local ministers and
others. The Idea that Mormonism
should be taught in Portland with a
view to PROSECUTING members of the
various churches Is denounced as out
rngeous. The Mormons are charged
with being traitors and blasphemers.
and with attacking the fundamental
principle OF American society. From
every quarter come earnest and vigor-
Gus protests. and there are Indications
that more are to follow. or the min
listers who were interviewed by Ore
CONAN reporters on the subject yester-
day, there was not one who was not
emphatically opposed to the methods
OF the Mormons, and who had not very
decided opinions on their teachings"
With one or two exceptions. the ten
preachers interviewed expressed them
selves in line with this introduction to
their remarks, and according to an old
Mormon missionary tradition, where
the adversary stlrs up such fuss,
there will be found some honest souls
waiting for the truth. According to
this sign, SO often verified. n flourish
ing branch OF the Mormon Churcl
may be expected to arise in Portland
In the near. future.

THE REAL ISSUE.

So far the sentiment In the United
States In favor of armed interven
tion In Cuba has been fostered to Q
large extent by u burning desire IL
see the last of the rule OF terror under
which thousands of helpless human
creatures are being ground to death
slowly, cruelty as In the days of the
1nquisition. 1t has been felt that the
power entrusted into the hands OF
the people of this Republic by the
Almighty Ruler of the destinics OF
nations, carries with It the response.
bility of rescuing the oppressed that
appeal for help Mt the very gates OF
the country. But the aid has been de.
layed so long. that now II is ques-
tion, whether II would be entirely
acceptable to the sufferers themselves
believed war would mean sure death
and the insurgents are thought to be
confident In their own ability to carry
the revolution to n successful termln-
alton without foreign assistance.
The humanitarian considerations
however, are now overshadowed by the
Maine incident. Evidence is accumu-
lating that the explosion which hurled
Into eternity so many American sailors
on an errard OF peace and mercy,
was caused by an engine of destruc-
ton under the control Of Spanish off,
cials. The statement OF the construct
or OF submarine mines, as given In to-
nav'u dfcnotrbau to
for no doubt on this point. And yet,
the Spanish government has offered
nothing but denials of the correctness
of the findings OF the court charged
with the duty of asoertaining the cause
OF the disaster. There has been no
word Of apology or even of regret; no
effort ut competent investigation with
a view of bringing the culprits to JUS
tice. In view Of these facts. the plan
OF keeping the Maine disaster as a
separate issue may amount to making
II practically the principal issue.
II Is not likely that the collective
note of the six European powers ad-
presented In an impressive and SOL
emn manner. will have the effect of
changing the course OF events. If Eu-
rope earnestly desires peace, represen.
tations to that effect should be made
at Madrid. The people Of the United
States have already shown a modera-
ton and patience no European power
would be likely to exhibit under SINH
lar circumstances. Spain has given
no sign of n disposition to treat the
questions at issue on the principles OF
Justice and humanity. Impartial
Europe cannot fail to perceive this.
When its concerted efforts for the
maintenance of peace nevertheless first
are made at Washington, It amounts
apparently to notice that the sta
powers have concluded to consider the
United States responsible for the out
break Of the eventual hostilltes, re-
gardless Of the preliminary part played
by Spain. including the destruction
OF the Maine. and II this Interpretation
of their joint action is correct. IL will
not serve as oil on the troubled waters.
A notice from Europe TO Spain that

tory explanation. atoned for would

THE TERRITORIAL PRISON.
The Change in Arrangement No Re- fIeCfiOH, Upon inc Late Super-
 infendcnf.

Governor Murphy returned yester- day morning from Yuma, where he had gone with MT. Herbert Brown. the Eew superintendent of the territorial prison, who assumed control the day before. The succession to the late superintendent Col. John w Dorring- ton, has given rise to a great deal Of comment, chiefly OF account Of certain reflections by democratic papers on the management of the prison. Gov ernor Murphy characterized those charges as false and malicious, and says that they in no way influenced him in the acceptance Of the resigna tion of Col. Darlington, whom he re- gards as a man of the strongest integ- rity, a good citizen and faithful re- publican. The governor further stated that the charges against the late superintendent had no basis.
 That change was made was the natural result of raadjustment of ter ritorial affairs and can in no way re- fleet upon Col. Darlington.
