CONQUEST BY PURCHASE.

The report that the administration
had decided to pay Spain $40, 900 for
the Philippines was indirectly denied
the other day. But the present indi-
cations are that the president actually
contemplates doing this very thing.
No matter what explanation of the
matter is made, people who are setting
apart each day a portion of their earn
ings to pay a war tax in time of peace.
viii be anxious to know what it is all
about
The only excuse for holding the Phil
ippines is that we have them," and
that circumstances do not warrant
their return to Spain If I'VE have
Them why are we going to pay Spain
SAC, OOO 600?
The result of the war does not leave
this government under any financial
obligations to Spain 1t will not be
easy to explain why the United States
should pay an indemnity to the van
quished power. If this is an indirect
manner of assuming payment of Span
ish bonds, the people will certainly call
upon their representatives in congress,
irrespective of party. to refuse to ratify
the deal.
Manifest destiny may place upon
this republic obligations to hold and
care for every island acquired by con-
quest from a. conquered foe Mani
fest destiny may lead this nation into
another hemisphere and place strange
peoples under the protecting influence
of its flag. But neither the fortunes of
war nor the demands of the case re-
quire this government to pay a pre-
MUM Of $40, 0OO,oOO for the privilege of
conquering Spain.
There is no reason why the United
States should pay one cent to Spain,
for bonds, grievances, concessions, har-
Dor improvements on Luzon, or for
anything else.

we don't want it. If it is, we don't

Downfall of the Beau Brummels.
washington Post.)

In referring to the downfall of Repre-
sentative James Ham lton Lewis of Wash
inton state, 1t is not amiss to notice that
the voters have treated very unkindly in
the campaign just past both the Beau
Brummels and the best-dresSed men in
the national house. Not only Mr. Lewis
and Representative John Murray Mitchell
of the Eighth New York district, who
were considered the two best attired men
under Speaker Reeds imperial sway, but
also Wallace Turner Foote, jr., of Port
Henry in the Twenty-third New York dis
trict. reDuted to be the handsomest man
in the house, have politically fallen by the
wayside. Mr.. Foote will be succeeded by
a Republican, Mr.. w. L. Emerson. Mr..
Mitchell, who has served in two congress-
es, and who very frequently was seen in
the fall and spring season. tooling very
smart tallyho and four about the streets
of Washington and about the rural thor
oughfareS nearby, was nominated for q
third term by the Republicans, but his
district was q close one, and, with the
heavy Democratic vote in New York City,
stood no chance of another election His
successor will be Daniel j. Riordon. Mr..
Foote had Democratic rival in the
house, just as did Mr.. Mitchell, in the
person of Representative John Wesley
Gaines of Tennessee, who is accounted q
strikingly handsome man. 1t remains to
be seen whether any of the new members
of the Fifty-SiXth congress will possess
qualifications to deprive Mr.. Gaines of
first place in this particular line.

JuRIEs AND CORPORATIONS

When juries get a crack at corpora
tions and lawyers they are apt to hit
hard. This was recently exemplified
in Ogden and in Salt Lake.
In Ogden three damage suits were
tried in which verdicts were returned
against the defendant, the Oregon
Short Line Railway company, in sums
varying from $1,000 to $4,000 The
judges, both in the trial courts and in
the supreme court, to which the cases
were. appealed, considered the damages
awarded in all the cases very excess
sive.
In the matter of assessing damages
juries are supreme, and however much
the courts may desire to disturb the
verdicts they are powerless and the
company VIII have to pay up. The ac-
eidents, it was decided. resulted from
the company's negligence and the
public may be the gamer, from the fact
that punitive damages We're assessed
because the railroads may find it true
economy to exercise more care.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE STATE.

Yesterday The Herald called atten-
ton to the undeyeloped resources of
the state, to the wealth and energy of
the people, to the necessity of going
to work, each in his way, to build up
the community and encourage its COM
mercial growth.
Reference is made 20 this matter
again for the reason that it is all inn
portant under the circumstances. on
account of unfavorable financial legis-
lation. and because the reconciliation
of silver has been postponed a little
longer, to join hands in the effort to
aid and encourage the industries and
promote the growth of the common
wealth.
There is always an artificial prosperity
that follows in the wake Of war. This
has forced into circulation quite a
sum of money. There is always a re
action after a panic. This will loosen
the pursestrings of the money powers
to some extent. Cautiously the lenders
are putting out their boarded capital
again.
Because of these conditions and in

among the people of Utah today than
there has been at any other time since
1893. Besides, the people of the state
have learned economy from the bitter
experiences of the past few years; they
are exercising greater care in their ex
penditures and investments: they are
doing business a little nearer to a cash
basis, perhaps, than ever before.
This, too, would seem to indicate
that there is considerable money in
circulation. in spite OF war taxes. and
the gold standard. The price of wheat
is not as good now as 1t was a year
ago. but there have been two splendid
crops in succession and two famines
abroad which have helped the farmers,
and, consequently, the merchants Of
this country out.
With the proper kind Of encourage
ment the right sort of cooperation, a
great work may be accomplished in the
development of the state With as
great and as varied resources as any
other member of the union. Utah
offers opportunities that few other
states present.
In order to make the most Of what
nature has laid at cur doors, to utilize
the wealth that is here, to attract
capital by unfolding possibilities, to
make the people Of the country at large
look upon Utah as something besides a
political storm center, it is necessary
to get down to business, to aid the de-
velopment and encourage the CONNER
cis3 growth OF the state.
To do this is the aim and policy of

man-elect from Utah, is said to be a
polygamist. He not only be ieves in the
| doctrine, it is alleged, as a matter of
theory. but he is actually practicing it.
This was charged against him in the
campaign, and substantially admitted
as true. The eastern press demands
that he be refused his seat in congress.
Without question the matter will be-
come an issue in the next house If as
seems to be admitted; Mr.. Roberts is
living in a state of polygamy, in de-
fiance of the civil law and in violation
Of the enabling act under which Utah
was admitted to the Union, and in dis
regard also of the provisions of the
Utah state constitution, there can be
no dispute of the proposition that he
will have difficulty in securing a seat
in congress. 1t is not matter of NOR
ais. There may be worse men morally
in the next congress than Mr.. Roberts.
But it is a matter of high civic prin-
ciple, which it is the duty of congress
always to maintain. An investigation
is needed from another standpoint. It
has been frequently asserted that Utah
would, after admission to the Union,
drift back into polygany. When the
church authorities abandoned the prac-
tice and gave a pledge that, if Utah
was admitted, polygamy would be for
ever diScountenanced and prohibited,
the News was prompt in urging that
the pledge be accepted in good faith.
Upon this pledge the News, which had
been always opposed to UtahS custom
of plural marriages, favored Utah's
admission as a state. Now that the
pledge may be maintained and en-
forced, it demands that this Roberts
case be inVeSti gated

One of SPANS Famous Attractions

y
The following story is told of Ger
tain Cleveland lady wro affects consid-
cradle literary. knowledge and has a
penchant for ridiculous breaks"
She was talking not long ago to a
number of ladies who are interested in
literature, and the conversation veered
around to Spain.
Us is strange said one lady. that
we have so few good books on Spain.
We really know little or nothing about
the country. The names of her great
citizens are almost forgotten. We can
name but a half dozen or less. There
is Cervantes. and Lope De Vega. and
Velasquez, and Murillo, and"
And that character mentioned by
Washington Irving eagerly interrupt
ed the lady of the breaks"
what character" inquired the other
lady.
"Why that-dear me, what was his
name? And it has such a Spanish
sound. Strange I can't remember it,
and Irving speaks of him in such a
familiar way, too. Why. its
Was it some Moor?" suggested the
other lady.
Eth; Oh yes, there's some more
about him. Funny 1 can't recall it. All,
yes, it's 'Hambra.
''Hambra?"
YES, 'Hambra. Irving was so hu-
morous. you know, and he always
called him AL Hambra.' "
Then somebody discreetly changed
the subject.

MAKES A SERIOUS CHARGE.

The Republican organ began its cam
,aign against B. H. Roberts on the
ground that he was high churchman.
1t overlooked the support it had given
John Henry Smith, who was a higher
official in the same church
The Republican organ was compelled
to abandon that line Of argument; so
it objected to the election of Mr.. Rob
erts because. as it said and repeated
frequently during the campaign, The
was trained from childhood to Asiatic
methods" Still it supported a candi-
date trained to the same methods.
The Republican organ declared that
the practice of polygamy is the rule
in Utah; that former relations were
not. severed at all: that the church and
the people had deceived the nation:
that the church and the people were
unworthy Of confidence, and that they
have disgraced themselves by electing

SOME GOOD, SHORT STORIES
Mind and Matter.

The old saying, His head will never
save his hands," has many illustra-
lions, and in this story, printed in Sue
cess, it has a most forcible application:
We'll, Caleb" said Captain w. of
Massachusetts, years ago, what will
you ask a day to saw wood for me?
I've got several cords that 1 want
sawed in two for the fireplace"
Il should charge you about half a
dollar q day if l had a saw" replied
Caleb, but 1 amt got none, captain.
so | don't see how can accommodate
you"
IF that's all that is lacking, I guess
We can manage it." said the captain
I've got a prime new one keen as a
brier and I'll let it to you reasonable.
How would pence a cord do for the
use of it?"
II reckon that's a fair price, captain.
I'll be over in the mornin'.'
Bright and early that next July
morning, Caleb was at work, and he
kept at it so faithfully that ne finished
before sunset, when he went to the
house to settle.
Let's see" said the captain" you
were to have half a dollar a day; we'll
call it a day, although it amt shutdown
yet. That's so cents for you. And you
were to pay me pence a cord for the
use of the saw. There were three cords
and a half in the pile; that makes 1895
cents due me. Somehow, Caleb, you
don't have very much coming to you"
How unfortnit,'' said Caleb, after
scratching his head obviously for half
a minute, and then looking up quickly,
as if a new light had broken in upon
his mind How unfortnit that you
didn't have half cord more, for then
we'd "a come out jest square"

TIE FIRST sNowsToRM.

The autumn turned to winter in a
night. The raindrops blossomed into
snow The dreary landscape, wind
swept and water-soal1ed, became a
glistening winter scene like that de-
scriced BY Hawthorne as "a lifeless
copy of the world in marble"
Festoons of feathery flakes adorned
the trees. the wires along the streets
resembled strands OF precious gems. d
carpet Of cleaning white was stretched
across the valley. and every mountain
shone like a frosted wedding-cake.
No picture gallery in the world had
such winter views" as the city and
the valley afforded yesterday. No artist
ever wrought such grand effects, such
delicate traceries, as the storm had
made with brush of wind and paint of
crystal light
1t dawned a perfect winter day But
it was only pleasing to the eye. 1t
was most uncomfortable time to be
out-of-doors. The mud was ankle-deep
beneath the snow. The air was raw.
The weather was fretful, calm enough
at times to tempt one out, but full of
fury when it caught a pedestrian away
from shelter.
1t was a glorious scene to look upon
from the window of warm room.
Nature was beautiful and bad-humored
yesterday. Beauty and an ugly tenn
per often go together. The snow bare
ly covered the mud. 1t was beauty
skin-deep. 1t was not the lovely day

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-11-21

The Republican organ repeats a false
hood it told in the campaign until it
apparently came to believe it. It says
that The Herald declared it could not
defend one of the Democrats person
ally. The Herald refused to be led into
any personal campaign whatever 1t
attacked no candidates character, and
defended none. The whole object of
the personalities was to blind the vot-
ers OF the state to the real issues of
the campaign. But The Herald certain
ly exposed the insincerfty of the OPP
position to the queens taste. 1t is
not the business of The Herald to de-
fend the Mormon church, the Mormon
people, or any of the relations growing
out of old conditions and peculiar to
that church. But when hypocrites de-
nounce them, when men or papers con
done in one breath what they condemn
in the next; when men who have been
trying to break into the church for five
years, turn upon it in fit of partisan
malice, and try to injure the whole
state in order to injure it, they are not
entitled to either sympathy or respect.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-11-21

continuance of relations which existed
before statehood. No one who under
stands human nature, who knows
aught Of human ties and passions, ever
thought that existing relations were
fully and completely severed. But the
contracting Of new plural marriages
in the Mormon church is an entirely
different matter. If the Tribune knows
of any case of the kind it ought to
speak up.
The enabling act made no reference
to unlawful cohabitation or poIyga-
nous relations, because the congress
of the United States realized the situa-
ton in Utah. The contracting of splu-
raj marriages was forbidden though,
and the constitution is emphatic upon
that point, without referring to any
other
The Tribune says: There are
women in polygamy here who were in
short clothes when the manifesto was
issued
This is a doubt cast upon all the peo-
pie of the dominant church. It is not
a charge against any individual, but
against the church, as an. Organization.
1t means that the Republican organ de-
sires to make the world believe that
the church leaders are permitting plu-
raj marriages to be solemnized in de-
fiance of the constitution and in disre-
gard Of the pledges made to the ma
ton through that instrument.
In the absence of something better
than the unsupported statement of the
disgruntled and inconsistent organ of
a little coterie of sorehead politicians,
it is safe to say that there is absolutely
nothing in the charge it makes.

An you're dancin' when you want to-
an you're sparkin' when you pleased
