A wonderful stroke of policy for a

IT is apparent that the European
powers are engaged in the game of
carving up China. Russia IL operat-
ing in Manchuria, and Germany at
shantung. while England has designs
on the fertile Yang-ts e-Kiang valley
and France on the southern provinces.
The plan is to sink China in debt

ers TO supply the money. EngIand's
scheme was excellent She would
furnish funds to China. These would
go to Japan as payment of the war
debt. Japan would build ships for
the money and help England to stand
Russia off. But Russian statesmen saw
through the plan and prevented 1t.
Probably the announcement OF the per-
manent occupation of Wei Hal Wei by
Japan is really the suggestion o,
England and the reply of the British
government to the anti English in
trlgues OF Russia at Pekin.

The Standard oil trust pays to the
producers Of crude petroleum, that is
TO the owners of the oil wells, J5 cents
per barrel of AZ gallons. 1t takes one
and four tenths barrels of crude oil to
make one of refined. The cost of trans
portation to the refneries averages IL
cents. and of refining 16 cents. making
the total cost of barrel of refined oil
$i.0i, or almost exactly two and half
cents per gallon.
When the trust sells refined oil In
competition with the Russian product
1t asks two and nine-tenths cents per
gallon, but when II sells for consump-
ton in New York city 1t asks nine
cents per gallon. 1t is able to make
such tremendous discrimination be-
tween buyers because 1t controls the
output from the Pennsylvania and
Ohio oil fields. The Philadelphia
American, from which these figures are
obtained, has q long article on "The
Standard oil Trust" In the course Of
which 1t says;
starting with nothing twenty-five
today a capital of nearly s100.00O.0OO
with market value OF over -four times
as much, and upon which dividends are
paid of something like S200O0.000 n
year And these dividends represent
far from the earnings Of the trust. far
from the sum of money that Is eXacted
from the users of oil and divided year
ly among the few who use this trust to
prey upon the community, divided
among the holders of the trust certlfi-
Gates and the leeches who draw tribute
from the trust. for the trust that sucks
millions from the community, has its
numerous suckers"
Such facts and figures emphasize the
necessity of doing something to reduce
the price of coal oil in Utah. Here
the retail price is % cents per gallon.
which is too high by half. With oil
wells In eastern Utah and Wyoming,
we ought to get relief. But the trust
is probably seeing to 1t that relief to
the Pacific states shall not come in n
manner nor to an extent to break Its
monopoly.

from the section of the constitution
which prescribes the qualifications of

the Chicago Times Herald says:
The majority in favor of the sub
mission of the amendment to a vote of

ground for INDUCING in the hope of

hardly probable that the house will

THE EXCITEMENT IN FRANCE.

The excitement prevailing in France
on account of the Dreyfus case and Its
sequel, the trial OF Emile lola for libel,
Is so intense. that it is believed blood
win How before all is over. Col. Ester
hazy Is quoted as having expressed
himself to the effect that likely enough
the streets of Paris will be strewn with
100000 dead before the drama Is
brought to a conclusion; and as for
himself he would not mind leading his
regiment against the Jewish population
OF Paris and shooting some OF them
down as calmly as'if they were so many
rabbits" Such is the feeling existing In
the French capital, and It seems to be
equally bitter on both sides of the ques-
ton.
What Is the real cause Of the great
connection? In reply to this question
n correspondent OF the London sun
calls attention TO the fact that France
has Tor some years past been shocked

in high places. Nobody seems to have

Of republican citizenship has sometimes

THE LUETGERT VERDICT.

AS n matter of cold law, II Luetgert
was guilty at all OF the murder of his
wife, as the jury decided that he was,
he must have committed murder in the
first degree. and therefore deserves to
pay the penalty with his life; otherwise
he ought to have been acquitted. So
argue great many papers. But the
Chicago Times Herald defends the ac-
tlon of the jury in finding him guilty.
and at the same time modifying his
punishment to life imprisonment. 1t
explains that while the jury were
unanimous on the first ballot In decld-
ing that he was guilty. one of their
number refused to 'vote for the death
penalty in view of the fact that the
conviction was based entirely upon cir
cumstantial evidence and the corpus
deficit had not been clearly demon
strated. 1t therefore became a ques-
tIon of disagreement or compromise
upon Imprisonment for life
Replying to criticism of the jury by
the Louisville Post, the Times Herald
says;
"There is nothing in the Luetgert
verdict to strengthen the mob law
sentiment ON the contrary, it very
accurately voices the popular sentiment
of this community as entirely just
when the doubts surrounding the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of the missing
woman are taken into consideration"
There is growing sentiment In ia
vor Of mitigating the death penalty
when conviction is had upon purely
circumstantial evidence. and especially
In cases in which the death of the per-
son alleged to have been murdered is
not absolutely proven. But the ques-
ton recurs on two points; What is
circumstnntinl evidence, and when is
the death of the alleged victim abso-
lutely proven? Jurists and Legislators
have not yet been able to answer such
| queries in any way that is more satis-
factory than the old way.

The disaster TO the U. s. cruiser
Maine in the harbor of Havana will be
regarded almost as a national calaml-
~. II means more than the loss OF
the over two million dollars tho ship
costs; 1t is more than the terrible loss
of life. which, according TO the latest
bulletins, amounts to over two hundred
n sad tragedy indeed; 1t means that
there is but too much foundation for
the fear sometimes expressed that the
Immense floating forts of modern ma
vies, with their complicated machinery
and vast stores of destructive sub
stances are not as safe as they appear,
perhaps in the critical moment of ac-
tion, become death traps to the on
GERS and crews instead of n terror TO
the enemy.
The first impression conveyed by
reading the dispatches is one of won-
der as to the cause of the tragic accl-
dent. 1t happened In the evening--af-
ter dark. There could have been no
fire In the part of the vessel where the
explosion occurred. at that time, and
no work of q dangerous nature could
have been proceeding without the
knowledge of the commander. The in
cident recalls the destruction Of a
Turkish vessel on the Danube during
the Turko- Russian war, by Russian
patriot who under the cover of night
succeeded In evading the torpedo nets
and the search light. fastened n
torpedo to the hull of the cruiser and
make his escape before the explosion
took place. stll. the fact that the
Maine was afloat for over an hour at
ter the disaster is taken as conclusive
evidence that 1t was not caused by n
torpedo. There Is mystery connect
ed with 1t which perhaps may never
be cleared up.
The aid given the wounded Ameri-
cans by Gen. Blanco and other Span
iards In Havana is graceful and chiv-
alrous, particularly in view of the state
Of the popular feeling in Spain lately.
There can, OF course, be no suspicion
that the Spanish officials are in any
way responsible for the destruction OF
the ship. Only blind fanaticism could
suggest to them such an outrage at n
time of peace. Still, the promptness
with which the Spanish authorities.
presumably unsolicited. gave express
sion to their sympathy for the suffer-
ers was timely. 1t will strengthen the
feeling of good will between the two
countries and help to soften the tone
of the discussion of questions on which
there is difference of opinion and in
terests.
