dressive tyrant, but may assume the

in his Goth year.
For all time the name Of Carols will
be dear TO the Cubans. He will be to

HI Hsnry's ministries appeared
at the opera house Wednesday
evening. For 20 years such 9
statement has been equivalent TO
saying that good performance
Was given; and the III Henry now has
as good company as ever. Pendle-
ton and other towns between Salt Lake

ministrels were especially fortunate
as the company ordinarily does not
not stop in cities Of less than 10000 or
1900 inhabitants.
1t is an aggregation of talent: q COM
pany Of artists; combination Of
clever people; there were only Guilt

really funny comedians. There. was
originality In the arrangement OF the

Gales work from the rise of the curtain
to the drop at the end Of the cleversst
turn ever seen here.

CONFLICTING ESTIMATES.

The Cuban evacuation commission
consisting Of Generals Wade and But
tier and Admiral Sampson. estimates
that 1t will require an army Of $4,000
American soldiers to maintain order
In Cuba, while General Otis, in com.
mand ut Manila, says 5000 men will
be able to control the Philippine is
lands. These estimates cause q little
wonder. II it requires $1,000 men to
control 100000 Cubans, who are al
most to man willing to submit to
American rule. how will 5000 men be
able to control 100000 or 5000, 900
Filipinos who are resenting American
domination? Or If General Otis Is
able with an army OF 25,000 men TO
govern all Of the Philippines, why
should 1000 be required to maintain
order In Cubar
Either General Otis Is much bat.
ter soldier than are Generals Wade
and Butler, or there has been come
bad estimates made. II is probably
presumptions for one not versed In
warfare to question such high
authority as these generals are sup
posed to be, but II Wade and Butler
are correct, Otis must be wrong. It
does not seem possible ne could
be able to overcome such odds.
The Filipinos do not accept the
of America, but are ready
to take up arms to resent what
they believe to be an encroachment
upon their rights, while. ON the other
hand, the Cubans are assured they
are soon to be given what they de-
mand--freedom. It is quite probable
that General Otis will nnd that he
has under estimated the size Of the
army required In the Philippines. and
that before they are brought into
subiugation q half million soldiers
will be needed.

UNDER HAnRuA:D. aeoNTRoL.

One Of the first acts Of the house In
the present session Of congress was to
pass the anti.scalpiae bill, p measure
that has been before congress- in one;
form or another for ten years. No
other congress has ever been 30
pliable to corporate influence that 1t
would grant this request of the rail
roads, but as the senate 10. composed
largely of railroad attorneys, congress
may now be said to be In the hands of
The railroads, aud the anti-scalpi as
bill will become law.
In 1897 the legislature of New York
/. passed similar law, and the supreme
court recently declared 1t unconstitu-
tional, al the United States supreme
Court will likely do when the law
comes before that tribunal. The New
York supreme court in its decision
says:
1T has happened before that for the
protectionofthep people the law making
:. power has provided for an examination
/. To- ascertain whether applicants pos.
sessed suita ole qualifications for the
positions applied for, or the business
sought to be engaged in; but in no in.
stance has it conferred general and
Unlimited power Of appointment upon
- class OF persons or corporations
wholly unconnected with the state gov
ernment.n
Continuing the decision says:
IF q TRANSPORTATION company sells
ticket from New York to San Fran
cisco, it undertakes to carry the holder
from one place to another. It cost the
company no more to carry one person
than it does the other. How then can
1t be defrauded or in any way prejudic-
ed by the transfer of such q ticket by
the purchaser to another burchaser?"
: In this decision the New York court
has unquestiona oily acted justly. The
principle sought to be established by
the anti.scalping law Is contrary to
the principles that have governed
ouu gI6dO AOi oAA LAAS'
Whatever an individual buys is his,
and he has the right to dispose Of or
use it as he sees fit. If an article Is
bought for 500 dollars and the pur-
chaser sees At to sell it for $50 1t fs not
the province of the seller to say that
he shall not. II an individual pur-
chases railroad ticket from Portland
TO San Frapcisco and sees fit to travel
only half the distance, then sells the
remainder of the ticket to some other
individual 1t is his piivelige, for the
ticket IL his property. The railroad
has received its full demand for the
ticket, and can be none the loser by
the second purchaser riding on it the |
last half Of the journey. A principle |
OF law that would prevent such trade |
would prevent the purchaser of coat |
from selling it should it not fit or suit |
him. Such principle of lawsfs not
only unjust but is dangerous. and
would never have passed q legislative
body that represented all the people.

a petition to congress- asking that the
