WHERE AeuINALDo ERRs.

Judging by the tenor of the interview
with Aguinaldo's latest envoy to Otis,
the Filipino chief has gone wrong in
his estimate of sentiment in this coun-
try regarding him and his cause. He
says, through his representative, that
he wants peace with independence and
honor. That looks we'll on the face of
it. The American people-barring the
Hanna political syndicate-would be
very glad to give Aguinaldo and his
followers all the peace and honor they
could ask for. Furthermore, when they
have shown their capacity for self-gov-
eminent, it is probable the entire
American nation, without regard to
party. will insist on giving them indie
pendence, just as they expect to confer
that same blessing on the Cubans when
they have demonstrated their ability to
appreciate it.
But Aguinaldo seems to have the i'm
preston that by some miraculous in
tervention he will be offered peace on a
gold platter while he is still in arms
against the Americans who stand for
this government III the Philippines;
and just there he has gone wrong If
he imagines for a minute that he is
going to get peace at the point of
Mauser directed toward American SOL
diers. he is booked for a very unpleas-
ant surprise.
Conservative observers know the oc-
cupation of the islands has been
marked by a series of stupendous blum
ders on the part of the administration.
Lack Of tact, inadequate forces,
needless sacrifice of lives and treasure,
have characterized every move of the
Otis regime That. however, is a fam
lily affair which the voters of this
country will attend to later. Mean
while, if Aguinaldo insists on fighting
he viii be accommodated with as brisk
a campaign as ne could possibly desire,
and after ne is properly educated to
view of the real situation, the matter
of independence viii be discussed with
out much reference TO his individual
opinion.
The quic5est way for Don Emilio to
secure his peace with honor and indie
pendence is for him to throw himself
on the mercy of the American people
and trust them for the independence
they viii be very glad to grant to the
Filipinos when they are fit for it.

scant supply. Those men forgot their
relation to humanity. They were ami
mals-wiId beasts struggling for exist
ence. They We're strong and accus-
toned to the water. They 5ook adj
vantage of their skill and knowledge
to seize and hold the RATS.
But the crew of the Scotsman We're
confronted with no s'lch perils; they
were actuated by no such motives; they
felt able to get away, else they
wouldn't have loaded themselves down
with plumber. They simply took advan-
tage of the distress of the passengers
to rob them and expose them to the
dangers of freezing or starving to death
on the barren rocks where the ship
was wrecked. Instead of making an
effort to save the terrified passengers,
the crew intensified their confusion by
firing guns, making the men stand and
deliver" and frightening the women
into the boats and into the sea.
The owners of the ship excuse them
selves on the ground that it wasn't the
regular crew, but an assortment of
wharf rats whom they picked up in an
emergency. This is not valid excuse.
Passengers who entrust themselves to
maratime company have a right to
expect that murderers and highway
men, that vagabonds and wretches of
the slums are not to run the ship in
which they cross the ocean. 1t is to the
shame Of the company and the British
merchant marine that such crews are
ever employed.

F.. ~
reasonable kind. Even the new corners
VINO settled there and established
homes were denied the commonest
human rights. The Boer government
has striven by every means short of
expulsion and coniiscatien to drive the
Outlanders away But Dutch per-
sistency met its match in English
tenacity. The Outlanders have held on
and increased in numbers-until there
are more Englishmen in the Transyaal
right now than there are Beers.
In theory the Beers have case. In
practice they have not. The facts that
they are few and that they
occupy land TO which they were
driven. and that they have always at
tended strictly to their own business,
would be strong points in their favor
with any modern jury. But there are
reasons to believe that their motives
are not founded upon the principles of
not entitled to much consideration. If
their origin in ignorance. selfishness
and injustice. Dogs in the manger are
notenTitied to much consideration. If
the Dutch refuse to develop the min
eG-al resources of the region, they ought
to make it possible for some one else
to do it under reasonable conditions.
If the Outlanders, being in, the ma
jority, desire the right of suffrage, and
they are taxed for the support of the
Boer government it certainly looks like
an injustice to deny them the priv
lege Of voting. And yet, if they retain
their allegiance to the British crown
as our American consuls say they do,
the extension of suffrage to them would
amount to a practical abandonment by
the Beers of their own government and
the acknowledgment of British rule. 1t
requires no mathematical demonstra-
ton to make this plain. England's
claim of suzerainty should not count
for much with a jury of nations. She
did not obtain her jurisdiction over the
foreign affairs of the Transvaal in an
altogether creditable way, and Dom
Paul claims to have documentary evil
dence of her remuneration of that power
ten years ago. But that is not import
ant. Whatever influence England has
used has been for the advantage of the
Boefs, although 1t is questionable IL
one person or one race has right to
force its attentions and care upon an
other
q War is inevitable, say the correspond
ents whose business it is to make war
upon paper 1t may come. The Beers
are aggressive and the British never
shirked a chance to fight in their lives.
But Great Britain should have a care.
No one doubts her ability to whip the
peasants. No one who understands the
case and views it from an impartial
standpoint. questions the Beers need
of a sound thrashing. The better senti-
ment of mankind deplores war except
as a last resort. The judgment of the
world win sustain England in COM
polling the Beers to adopt civilized
methods. But it will be against any
thing that savors of conquest.

Mary's name
After the passage of this splendid
figure the history Of Edinburgh loses
its charm until the days OF the civil
wars, when the names Of Montrose and
Dundee the undaunted champions Of
a lost cause, rekindled the old fire,
which burst out in its last expiring
flame when the young chevalier, the
Bonnie Prince Charlie of Scottosh song,
held once more a court of the Stuarts
in Holyrood and quilted Edinburgh as
so many of his ancestors had done to
make vain invasion of England.
Cedant arma-after the final failure
of the Stuarts in 1T45, Edinburgh
abandoned all effort to regain her old
place as capital of a kingdom, and
sank back into the position of a pro-
vincial town. But she was not after
the pattern of other provincial towns;
old memories fingered about her, and
"a spirit moved within her walls that
was to awake her to a new and nobler
life. The university founded by James
VI sprung into prominence about the

Of great lawyers filed her courts. The
works of Hume Adam Smith and

of literature. Robert Ferguson paved
the way for Robert Burns. And with
the beginning of the new century the
literary movement eliminated in the
heroic figure OF Walter Scott, whose
birth and education in Edinburgh well
fitted him to become the poet laureate
of his own romantic town.

OF THE STATE FAIR.

The state fair begins today. 1t has
been several years since an enterprise
of this kind was attempted. The fairs
used to be good and interesting and
no one questioned their beneficial re-
suits. Yet they were abandoned. part
~ on account of the scarcity of money
and mainly for the lack of united effort
to keep them going.
This year the exposition will be
larger and better in every way than it
ever was before There will be an
abundance of agricultural products, a
fine assortment of livestock, industrial
exhibits that are credit to the state
and will prove a surprise to all who
see them, art displays and Salt Palace
constructed from timbers incrusted in
The waters of the lake.
That the fair will be well patronized
goes without saying. 1t is conference
week, there will be visitors from all
over the state, from Idaho, Colorado
and Wyoming, people who are still in
terested in Utah, proud of its achieve
ments and acquainted with its re-
sources.
The fair will not disappoint them. It
win please all who go to see it, and
the greater the attendance the more
encouragement viii be given for future
expositions of this kind.
