antiquity is the bronze serpent of Del

cities can vie with Constantinople.
None has exceeded it in dramatic inter-
est. During centuries of the middle
ages il eXcelled every other city in

Here was wrought out the theology of
the undivided church by it's ecumeni-
cal councils. Here preached the galaxy
of pulpit orators, the Chrysostoms and
GregoryS. who in Biblical and pious elo-
quence have never been surpassed.
Here was framed the Justinian Code di-
gest of all the laws known before,
which still survives, and is potent in
European legislation. Here today is the
seat of that venerable communion. the

JUSTICE FOR BENBROOK.

County Attorney Putnam's approval
of the employment of additional coun-
sci for the prosecution in the Benhrook
case will be received with satisfaction
by everybody in this community, al
most without exception. The lawyers
who have been retained to assist him
are men of long experience and I'M
questioned ability. They may be de-
pended upon to assist Mr.. Putnam in
the most effective way, both by advice
and active participation in the trial.
Their presence in the case insures the
presentation of every possible phase of
the subject matter to the jury and the
elimination of everything that has no
right TO be heard.
The Herald has insisted that the
rights of the people in this instance
justified the strongest possible array of
legal talent on the side of the prosecu-
tion-such an array as the defense had
already secured. 1t is satisfied that the
prosecution as it now stands will do all
that is proper to secure the conviction
of the accused, as it was already con-
WINGED he would have every proper
means of defense. With this showing
of equality, it is content to abide by
the decision as it may be reached fin
ally; and it is sure the people of this
city will be better satisfied with the
verdict when it comes, whether it be
one of conviction or acquittal.

THAT TARIFF POULTICE

Notwithstanding the fact that Col
onel Pat Lannan, the widely known
editor Of the Salt Lake Tribune" de-
clared in his Washington interview
that Bryan's abilities were overesti-
mated and that his influence is on the
wane, the local organ of the admins
tration quotes Bryan as having said
that the killing of the tariff would not
kill the trusts"
1t likewise denounces as IAN idiot or
knave" anyone who intimates that
the best remedy for the trust evil is
to repeal the tariff on all articles pro-
duced by trusts.
This is the very remedy proposed by
the Tribune itself only a few weeks
ago. 1t referred to the alarming
growth of these unlawful combinations
and suggested a repeal of the tariff.
A reference to its files will give our
neighbor an idea as to whether to
pity the author of that for an idiot or
to seourge him for knave."

settled by mutual consent. This hope
was strengthened by the recent and
rapid growth of friendship between
this country and Great Britain. But
the Canadian premier says that mutual
agreement is out of the question, that
the situation is SO strained that it can
only be adjusted by international arbi-
tration or war.
There is more in this controversy
than the gold of Alaska. 1t is the in
tention of Canada to make the settle
ment of all pending differences contin-
gent upon the outcome of this boun-
dairy case. a tariff duel has been go
ing on for some time. In May, 1885, a
protocol was signed at Washington by
which the United States and Canada
agreed to leave all points of difference
as they were until such a time as they
could be adjusted by an international
commission. Immediately thereafter
the province of Ontario put a prohibit
ton upon the expectation of logs This
deprived large number OF American
timber kings of the chief value of their
property. While the provincial govern
ment had the legal right to do this. it
seemed to be an act of bad faith. Ca
nadians claim, however, that it was
but retaliation upon the Dingley tar
III law. This law contains a contin-
gent provision that if any country
should put a duty on logs exported TO
the United States, the amount of such
duty should be added to the import
duty on such lumber from such coun-
try. While this was within the legal
of the United States. it was
provoking to Canada.
This tariff war is responsible for the
feeling that exists between the repre-
sentatives of the two governments.
War may result, but it is hardly prob
able If it should come, there will be
many prophesies belied and dreams dis
PEELED. Friction between this country
and Great Britain should be avoided.
If possible. Canada cannot sever the
ties which exist between the Anglo
Saxon powers if the proper course is
followed, due courtesy shown and due
caution preserved. The tail cannot wag
the dog for any length of time. Let
rs keep friendly with the dog. The tail

TENSION IN CANADA.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier's startling declar-
alton in the Canadian house of COM
mons that the differences between that
country and this on The boundary uues-
ton could only be settled by arbitra-
ton or war has stirred up considera BILE
excitement on both sides of the line.
The White and Chilcoot passes are

ershed back Of Skagway and Dyea hav-
ing been mutually accepted, it is I'M
derstood, as the provisional interna-
tional boundary as far as it extends.
Representatives of the United States.
Senator Fairbanks being chief spokes-
man, insist upon this. On one side of
this watershed the Yukon forms from
the mountain streams. On the other
side the water courses down to the
Lynn channel. Between these two
systems chain of high peaks extends
bringing the boundary line some eigh-
teen miles nearer the coast. This gives
more territory to Canada, but retains
control of an important inlet which
both countries are trying to secure.
The Canadians desire to have the
boundary established ten marine
leagues inward from the headlands
which would leave the Lynn channel
the coveted port of entry, on British
soil.
The situation is certainly grave. 1t

SIGNS OF UTAH'S PROSPERITY.

There is no better index of a peoples
financial condition than the money they
spend on luxuries. When times are
good, everybody feels justified in
spending money for relaxation. When
the pressure of poverty is felt, the lux
uries are cut off first in the list of
economies. Taking this as a standard,
the people of Utah are feeling the eff
fects of local prosperity and showing
their satisfaction with it. The large at
tendance at Saltair, Garfield, Calder's,
Lagoon and the Salt Palace has a
pleasant significance to the thoughtful
observer. 1t means that the increased
production of the states great mining
camps is pouring money into the
pockets of every class. The farmer gets
the benefit of a large demand and bet
ter prices for his products. Labor of
every kind is in demand. Unemployed
miners are scarce-almost unobtaina-
bic. Masons are busy at good wages.
Transportation lines are increasing
their operating forces. Real estate has
advanced very perceptibly. Clearings
in the Salt Lake banks show remark
able increase in the volume of business
transacted. The states material inter-
ests are advancing by leaps and
bounds, and this, too, in spite of an or
gained effort to discourage invest
ment and convince outsiders that the
state is an undesirable place, either
for residence or property ownership.
The Herald believes that Utah is in
the first stage of a great era of deveI-
Opment and improvement. 1t believes
the state is destined to be the greatest
mineral producing region in this coun-
try, both in volume and variety of out
put. 1t believes the conservative rea-
soning majority of the people of the
state of every faith and occupation
will settle satisfactorily the social con-
ditions that have made for strife in
the community. and viii unite in
inviting the outside world to share in
our progress. Believing this, and with
the strongest reasons for its belief. The
Herald has systematically exploited
the natural and commercial attractions
of the state; a policy that has met
with every indication of public appro-
val, and viii be maintained as a mat
ter of conviction, as we'll as If ex-
pediency.

and emperors known above all by their
crimes or folliesr Nevertheless, dur
ing more than a thousand years after
her conservation by Constantine, Con-
stantinople yielded but once to foreign
attack, when, in the thirteenth CEN

Latin crusaders. More than twenty
times assaulted by enemies and power

The history of Constantinople natur-

The boundary line between is definite
and the transition sudden and complete.
Even the day. almost the hour, of each
transition may be noted. Each transit

has been introduced and a radically
different religion been made domi-
