verbose statement of the Spanish side
of the case relating to the Philippines.
There was a renewal of the attempt
o to take issue with the American con-
tention as to the meaning of the pro-
tocol clause relative to the disposition
of the Philippines and much quibbling,
accompanied by quotations from
French, Spanish and other European
lanEua@es, in the effort to demonstrate
to Americans just what an English
word might mean. The latter will take
no notice of this kind of hair splitting
plea, but at today's meeting will call
on the Spanish commissioners to make
answer to the American proposition to
cede the Philippines, probably allow

Trenton. Nv. 1o.-Chancellor McGill
yesterday decided that Dr. Marcus
Friedlander must reconvey a house
and lot in the town Of Union. Hudson
county, to Valentine Block The house
was decided to DIR. Friedlander by
Block in 1897. when the doctor became
engaged to Blocks daughter, Sophie.
The doctor was then living at Nc.
KeespOrt, Pa. Miss Block did not want
TO go there to live, and upon agreement
that Friedlander would locate in Union
the house was given to him. Subse-
quently Friedlander went west and
wrote to Block saying he had changed
his mind about marrying the daugh-
ter. Frlenlander was asked to reconvey
the house, and said he would do so
upon return of a diamond engagement
ring which he had given Miss Block
The latter refused to give up the ring,
and this suit was then brought.

THE MORMON QUESTION.

The New York Independent devotes
somef space to the Mormon CUES
ton" evidently with n view of creating
the impression that the opponents of
Mormonism have every reason to fear
the results of statehood. Prof. Marcus e.
Jones of Salt Lake City is quoted as
authority for the statement that
''poygamy" is still being preached, and
that the only remedy Is the disfranchis-
ing Of all Mormons, without regard to
their family relations. Rev. DR.. lin
and Rev. w. s. Hawkes. are also
quoted to prove that there has been a
general return to polygamous rela-
TONS" and Rev. II. @. McNlece Is
made to vouch for the alleged fact that
the Church is directly Interfering with
the Legislature and executive off,
cials.
1t should not be necessary to remind
the Independent of the fac. that IL Il
person. or n cause, is by prearrange-
ment to be condemned. 1t always is an
easy matter to find willing witnesses on
whose testimony the verdict can be
based. There always win be an Annas
and Caiaphas.reverend enough In their
day and generation. to urge the crowd
on towards Calvary, whenever the prof
liable trade within the sacred pre-
cincts is interfered with. And this Is
very nearly applicable to the present
case. Mormonism always has found its
most bitter opponents among the re-
llgious leaders. Fearlessly It has
pointed out their errors; with the power
OF truth 1t has appealed to their fol-
lowers to turn and follow the Master;
like the message OF the great Apostle
OF the Gentiles to the inhabitants
OF Ephesus II has had the effect OF en-
dangerlng the trade OF the silversmlths
Of Diana. This was the secret OF the
opposition from many quarters, from
the first time OF the proclamation OF
the Gospel. 1t is the key TO whatever
opposition remains, particularly that
manifest in certain clerical circles.
1t is easily understood why state
hood for Utah was disappointment
to some. They had entertained u hope
To down the religion of the Mormons
by the aid OF the mighty arm OF the
law, seeing that their intellectual re-

UTAH TO THE FRONT.

Recently Senator Cannon of Utah
made trip to the orient to ascertain
the financial and industrial situation
there from actual observation, the
benefits OF which were to go impartial
ly to the people of the whole United
States. Then Congressman King made
tour across the depths to Cuba to en-
able him to cnllghten the citizens Of
the United States beyond peradyenture
as to the situation In the island And
now In the Senate chamber today, Sen.
ator Rawlins introduced measure de-
clarlng war with Spain and recognis-
Ing the Independence OF Cubal
1t is very questionable II the public
mind hereabout is gagged to the de-
gree of belligerency implied by Mr..
Rawlins's procedure, however much
local sentiment may be In readiness to
obey when an order commanding
troops to take the field in defense of
the nag comes along But the feature of
interest in connection with this Incident
ard the others referred to is the sug-
gestion that 1t is but very short time
since this State was only accorded q

Ing no vote, was almost considered in

We may take a cynical view of hui

no force that is more potent than love;

A WHOLESOME RULE.

II is verv well known that public
office and employment are frequently
secured by men who do not represent
the highest type OF chivalric honor;
who In fact are deficient in common
honesty, to an extent that makes 1t
difficult for grocers. butchers, tailors
and tradespeople generally to collect
bills from them. It IL not an uncommon
sight to see man bursting with
patriotic desire to serve his fellow citi-
gems in some capacity that will give
him access to the public treasury, who
at the same time IL SO contemptibly
dishonest that he would cheat his
washerwoman out of her hard-earned
wages; and the instances In which such
men succeed in obtaining positions and
Jobs that enable them TO draw the peo-
pies money is surprising.
1t has been held to be the law that
the wages Of an employe of munich
palty In this State could not be gar
nished for debt; and memory reverts
to the case of an individual who some
years ago held position under the
city government which paid n gener-
Gus salary. yet who openly and no
torlously defled small creditors to col
lect bills from him. His worthless
checks given in payment of gambling
debts were circulating about town, and
tradespeople who had accommodated
him with credit, and acquaintances who
had loaned him sums OF money, were
treated with contempt. His salary was

was otherwise Judgment-proof. There
have been too many such cases.
The county commissioners OF Salt
Lake county evidently do not propose
that such an abuse shall exist among
the employees of the county, as they
recently adopted n resolution to the eff
feet that the refusal OF county en-
ploye to pay an honest debt would
be deemed sufficient cause for discharge
or removal. This is n most wholesome
rule. and 1t ought to be enforced in all
the departments of the city us well as
Of the county government. A man who
will not use his income for the payment
Of his honest debts. as far as that i'll
come will 20 after supplying himself
and his family. II he has one. with ac.
tual necessaries. ought not to be kept
in a position where he can draw a
salary which is protected from his
creditors. The News" does not care
at this time to discuss the soundness
of a law that makes such an abuse pos
sible. but will content itself with ex-
pressing the hope that the proper ofii-
GERS will adopt regulations that VIII
make J. impo 4ble.

EMPLOYMENT FOR Ex-coNyIcTs.

The poor we have always with us,
the pioneers of Utah, whose duties
brought him much In contact with UNI
fortunate human beings, once said
I'VE have the Lords poor and we
have the DEVILS poor and we have the
poor devils" What to do with these
three classes has been one of the
problems of civilization In all ages and
countries.
II is particularly difficult to manage
with that portion OF the poor that
have served terms in prison. and this
element probably furnishes the most
perplexing phases OF the entire cues
tion OF dealing with the poor. An ex-
convict Is nearly always and of neces-
sity regarded with suspicion. He may
II any time rob or otherwise injure
his employer. hence the reluctance of
the latter to employ him. Yet II not
given work he must become either a
public charge as pauper, or a public
enemy az n criminal.
II the ex-convict Is refused the
means Of earning an honest living. he
has the best possible excuse for re-
Stunning his criminal career: and In the
long run the general public and the
taxpayers especially are Injured in an
