THE EISTEDDFOD.

There is now being held in this city
a great musical festival, one that is in
every way worthy of the patronage of
the people. This festival is the Eistedd-
fed.
Utah has always been more or less
famous for its musical entertainments,
and great love of music. A score or
more of years ago there We're given in
this city several oratorios, and they
were rendered in a style worthy of the
largest cities in the Union; and to rem
der them is a task only undertaken in
the very largest cities. as a rule. Musl-
cal circles everywhere throughout the
country were astonished that west
ern city, far removed from the centers
Of learning and culture, should under
take to give oratorio; but they We're
still more astonished at the success
considered from every point of view
The Eisteddfod of today is the legit-
innate successor of those oratorios. 1t
is held at a most suspicious time, when
thousands of citizens from all over the
state are in the city. 1t affords them
al OBDOI tunilg " neal S5DOA UiAA - 81
music, such as they cannot have in
their own homes, and they should i'm
prove the opportunity. Our fellow
townsmen should do the same.
Music is one of the fine arts, its sis
tiers being painting and sculpture. Its
educational value cannot be over-esti-
mated. 1t exercises over the soul an
influence that nothing else can, and
there is no substitute for it. The peo-
pie get too little of it, and could more
of it be poured into their lives it would
make them happier and more beautiful.
The Eisteddfod offers to our visitors
and citizens a rare opportunity to hear
grand music, and advantage should be
taken of it The success of the Els
teddfod means increased renown for
Utah as a patron and lover of music.

TIE COLONIAL GOVERNMENT
PROBLEM.

The annexation Of Hawaii and the
passing Of Puerto Rico under the sway
of the United States and the possible
coming under our control of the Phil
ippines. presents to the American peo-
pie very serious problem of their
proper government. Puerto Rico has a
population large enough TO entitle her
to admission to the Union as a state.
in fact. her delegation would include
four or five Representatives; Hawaii
has NO population sufficient to warrant
any thought Of statehood were all
other conditions favorable to it. Even
in the case of Puerto Rico there is at
present no thought of statehood
So far as capacity for self govern
ment is concerned. Hawaii is far in adj
vance Of Puerto Rico; the political
ideas that dominate Hawaii are Amer
lean. How shall American political
ideas be made to dominate in Puerto
Rico? Perhaps soonest and best by
the comforting upon the island a terri
torial form of government Even in
that case it would be absolutely neces-
sary TO have the utmost regard for the
customs and habits of thought of the
people. and what Americans might CON
slider absurd notions and unreasoning
prejudices would have TO be catered TO;
there is no other way Of establishing
confidence, the foundation of any sue
cessful attempt to assimilate the
Puerto Rieans to American political in
stituions. As Louisiana has always
had the civil law. so Puerto Rico will
probably always retain her present
legal system. 50 far as her municipal
laws are concerned. The ideas at the
bottom Of that system would become
more or less modified in time
in the Latin-American republics the
best political ideas have become per-
verted in practice. And why? Simply
because those who adopted them had
no real appreciation OF them, and knew
almost as little Of their true function

DEATH OF ALBERT SPENCER.

Death found Albert Spencer in the
prime of vigorous manhood and took
him from his earthly home, from his
wife, from his children, from his
friends 1t found him full of hope and
promise; it found a happy home, d
loving wife, two tender babes. It
dashed the black of mourning on the
picture, stilled the swelling heart for
ever, and tore the fathers guiding
hand from dimpled hands that grope
henceforth without it.
1t seems but yesterday that Albert
Spencer. cheerful, bright ambitious,
young and loved, was mingling with
his fellows on the street, interested in
questions of Importance to the state
and nation. talking of his views and
expectations.
Honored by his party with a nomina
ton for the legislature of the state,
trusted implicitly by all who knew
him. he stood before the people of the
community as a model young man,
typical of manly graces, moral worth.
intellectual industry, progress and
laudable persistence.
There is something startling when
ever the presence of death is an
nounced. There is something ever pa
thetic in the long farewell, the last sad
parting; but it is sad indeed when
youth and health and hope and love
lie bleeding all together; when the
hand is stricken as it reaches out TO
grasp the proTered rewards of indus
try and merit; when the feet are
numbed just short Of the goal of ear
nest, prsiseworthy aspirations.
And so it was with Albert Spencer
One short, almost unnoticed, step, and
he had left the path of his career to
walk upon another shore. It is believed
that the passing is not the end OF use
fitness. OF activity; that there are du-
ties elsewhere to perform, tasks beyond
the veil to do.
However this may be, it is not well
to think Of a strong young mind like
this. q great, warm heart like his, ceas-
ing TO act for eternity. Doubts of flu
ture life are as unwelcome. as clammy
as death itself. 1t is hope whispering
to eager. anxious ears that brings the
consolation. and the peace, and the
rest one needs when a friend and
brother dies.

Everything foretold success. One day
as he left the theatre after rehearsal
and took a stroll along the boulevard, he
heard somebody whistling tune near
him. He listened in amazement, for It
was a tune that he recognized only too
well. Heavcnsi it was just the air of
the song which he had written for
Capitaine Roland in his new piece.
Unconsciously he had been composing
from memory. He went up to the

A FreAch Ball.

The most amusing feature of the sad
spectacle was the stream of Droclama-
tions poured forth by the Communistic
authorities, writes Professor simon New
comb in the Atlantic, when abiding TO
the Paris Commune. They comprised
not only DEGREES, but sensational stories
of victories over the Versailles troops,
denunciations of the Versailles govern

Incorporate discussion of the ethical
question whether citizens who were not
adherents of the Commune should be
entitled 10 the right of suffrage. The
conclusion was that they should not. The
lack of humor on the part of the au-
thorities was shown by beginning one
of a rapid succession of battle stories
with the words: "Citoyens! Vous avez
soft de la verite.''
The most amusing decree 1 noticed
ran thus:
Article I-All CONSUMPTION is abolished.
ARTICLE II-No troops shall hereafter
be allowed in Paris, except the National
Guard.
