BOSTON GIVES IT UP.

C COMMENTING upon the complex problems oi II foreign policy which have arisen out of our
 O new relations to the Philippines the Boston Globe says: Nothing has happened in the war that planned before it began. We have been the sport of chance Then, after describing the doubt and confusion in the public mind the subject 1t adds: Even Boston, which is the greatest compounder of solutions for all problems that the minds alike of the finite and the infinite, discovered when its wisdom was assembled in Faneui Hall on Wednes- day that there was no complete solvent ready made for this most novel and unforeseen occasion'
 Since the wisdom of Boston assembled in Fanueil Hall could not solve the problem, 1t Is the opinion of the Globe that the rest of the country might as well give it up. It says Since circumstances are responsible for involving in such strange stua- ton we shall have to wait for circumstances to ex- tricate us" There may be many people who will agree with that conclusion, but few will accept the ground on which it was based Some will hold that while it may be best to wait circumstances in or der to see what will be developed would be wise to wait simply because Boston has no solution to offer
 The objection to waiting and drifting is that na- tions as well as individuals who surrender themselves to the not infrequenty find themselves car ried into situations from which it is difficult to es- cape If we had dealt with the Cuban problem reso- lutely several years ago might have escaped the cost of this If we clearly determine what are to do with the captured colonies of Spain we may save ourselves from some serious complication later on.
 We have had ample experience in our compara- lively short history of the folly of waiting on events By postponng the settlement of the slave question in the early years of the republic we had great civil to fight out. By neglecting to settle the fnan- cial problems of the nation in time of prosperity we had free silver agitation in a season of panic and distress which caused untold disaster to many an industry and many home. By postponing consider ation of the problems before us we may permit the growth of an erroneous sentiment among the people which will be troublesome to eradicate as the free silver craze.
 It should be determined at once that whatever it may be necessary for justice sake to do with the colonies wrested from Spain we shall not annex them to this country shall we ever include among our citizens the Mongol and mongrel races of the islands of the Orient Incidentally the same may be said of Hawaii. Boston may give it up but the rest of the country doesn't propose to drift

CITY's REVENUE POWERS.
Layton Merchants Arrested For Vic.
lating License Ordinance.

KaysviIle. March 26.-Late yesterday
afternoon City Marshal John H. Blood
served warrants of arrest upon Z. P.
Ellison, superintendent of the Farmers
union, and Rufus Adams, superintend-
ent of Adams & Sons company, both
of Layton. for doing business without a
license. They were brought before City
Justice Blazer. and both gentlemen
pleaded not guilty. Hearings were set
for Tuesday, March 90. at 10 a. m.
This action is brought against the
Layton merchants as a test of the city's
power to collect revenue from that por-
ton of the municipal corporation lying
outside OF the plated portion of the
city. For several years, ever since the
supreme court decided that farming
communities could not be taxed for
municipal purposes, there have been no
general taxes collected in this city:
neither have the license ordinances been
enforced outside of the lots and blocks,
although the principal business houses
of Layton are inside the boundaries de-
fined by the city charter. When the
state supreme court decided that the
city must collect taxes to pay interest
on city bonds, it became necessary to
take steps to ascertain how far the
Jurisdiction of the city extended. and
under the advice of the city attorney
the cases against the Layton merchants
were begun, in order that an amicable
settlement might be reached. Neither
of the gentlemen were required to fur
nish bonds for their appearance on
Tuesday.
