ABUSE OF AUTHORITY.

The very highest duty of the state, oil
the city, to its citizens is to provide an
honest, intelligent and efficient police
force. not only for the protection OF
residents, but for the protection OF
travellers and sojourners within the ju-
ristiiction Of the force.
Unfortunately for Salt Lake City,
there are a few-a very few-members
of the police Department. who lack the
temperament necessary to the intelli-
gent and lawful discharge of their du-
ties. 1t has only been a little while
since one of the officers slapped pris-
! oner who had offered no resistance and
made no attempt to retaliate, knowing
full well the difficulty of taking his
own part when an officer abuses his
authority and assaults man in Gus
tody.
The other evening this ruffianism was
repeated in police headquarters by an
officer in the presence of Sergeant
Brown and Desk Sergeant Pratt. No
! matter what the prisoner had been do
| ing, il was not the province of the po-
| lice department to try him, or to in
| fict punishment upon him for an of
| fence of which he had not been con-
victed.
The man may have been innocent or
| he may have been guilty. it is not our
province nor that of the police depart
ment, to say. He may have deserved
threshipg and may have earned a
term in jail-we know nothing about
that. But we do know that guardians
of the peace have no right to break the
peace, and that an officer is not justi-
fled in making an assault upon pris-
oner. no matter what the provocation.
AS a matter of fact, a prominent
business man of this city. Henry -Siegel,
was present when the assault was COM
mitted upon the prisoner; he was there
for the purpose of putting up the nee
essary bail; he offered to do SO, and in
the face of this offer it was an outrage
for the officer having the prisoner in
custody to attempt to search him and
take his watch or wallet by force.
When the patrolman so far forgot him.
self and the law as to make a vicious
assault upon a prisoner he forfeited his
IlSnL 10 ali fCSBtCl d. oil VI tue
law, he became a lawbreaker himself.
and it was the right of Mr.. Siegel, as a
citizen, TO interfere in behalf of peace
and in the interest of order. Conse-
quently, when Sergeant Brown threat
ened Mr.. Siegel with similar violence,
it showed an amazing ignorance of his
duty as an officer.
The prisoner may have been
.'masher." n mail robbers or even
murderer, and still the burly patrolman
armed with his mace and star, dress
ed in a little brief authority and en-
couraged by other DULLES of the force
around him-had no legal or moral
right to seize the prisoner as he did,
TO choke him as he did. and to bump
his head against the wall of the hall of
horrors.
Such abuse of authority is Infamous,
and it ought to be rebuked by the
proper municipal authorities.

If passages are marked when read they
will be more serviceable for reference.
A public library, though valuable, can
never meet the needs of a private one.
For the ordinary reader great many
books are not needed. In a library OF
fifty or 100 volumes infinite riches may
be found. Almost any girl who tries
may have in few years fair library
Only the best books should be selected,
and if the leisure moments are judi
ciously employed several works may be
mastered in a year. Parents should
give their children help in forming the
nucleus of a library. 1t is "a pleasure
10 see a young woman retaining the
story books she received in childhood.
There is some sensible advice in one OF
Emerson'S rules for reading-"to read
no book until it is year old" 1t
would not be we'll to follow this rule in
all cases. and yet if observed it would
prevent many ephemeral novelties from
gaining such a great circulation. Some
persons appear to regard it a mark OF
social distinction TO have read the lat
est novel.
Books should not be locked up and
kept in some unfrequented room. 1t is
better for girl to have her books con-
venient for everyday use than to have
them preserved like stuffed birds in a
glass case. Open shelves are better
than glass-door bookcases. For pri-
vate library the original binding looks
better for books than brown paper COW
ers. Plain. substantial bindings are
better than costly editions. The latter
should be left fer girls who are better
judges of the outside than the inside of
a book. Ones books should be treated
as companions, and proper care of
them is mark of good taste. 1t looks
bad to see books lying around like old
shoes. The advise. long ago given by
Richard de Bury is valuable-'.never to
approach a volume. with unc,eanly

pore? Hadn't he sold out his people
for s400, 600? This is what the Span
iards told US. We didn't believe it
then, and cannot well repeat a Spanish
tale we proved ard denounced as false
year ago.
General Greene investigated this mat
ter at the request of the president and
reported on the 50th of August, 1888.
that an instruction headed by Aguin-
aldo had broken out in 1896: that it
spread to the other provinces of Luzon;
that it continued with varying success
on both. sides until December, 1897. when
the Spanish governor general agreed to
grant certain reforms and self-govern-
nent to the Tagals upon one condition
that Aguinaldo and the other insur-
gent leaders should leave the islands.
This being the only way TO stop the
wholesale butcheries perpetrated by
Spain Under the pretext of 'subduing
rebellious subjects" as Hanna's organs,
parrot-like, repeat to this day. the in
surgent chieftaips departed for China.
Among other things. Spain agreed TO
pay the Tagals a stipulated sum to in
demnify them for the losses sustained
in the rebellion.
''Aguinaldo and his associates went
to Hongkong and then TO Singapore"
said General Greene in his official re-
port. The sum of $40O, 900 was depos-
tied in banks at Hongkong. A law suit
soon arose between Aguinaldo and one
of his subordinate chiefs named Ar
tacho. which is Interesting on account
of the very honorable position taken by
Aguinaldo. Artacho sued for a divis-
ion of the money among the insurgents.
according to rank. Aguinaldo claimed
that the money was trust fund, and
was 10 remain on deposit until it was
seen whether the Spaniards would car
ry out their promised reforms, and if
they failed TO do so it was to be used
to defray the expenses of a new insur-
rection. The suit was settled out of
court by paying Artacho $4,000. Aguin-
aide is now using the money to carry
on the operations of the present insur-
rection"
These are the words OF Major Cen
eral F. V. Greene of the United States
army, authorized and detailed to make
this investigation. So it will be seen
that Hanna's feather bed patriots ac-
cuse men of selling out for sum they
expended as allies of and in the cause
of the United States IN its war with
Spain.
This is corroborated further by testi-
mony now in the possession of the sem
ate of the United States. according to
recent admissions of Senator Foraker,

II. ARITHMETIC OF THE OFFICE
Lesson No. 2. Interest.

Find the simple interest of 5 per cent
on a mortgage for $500 which has
been running for three years and four
months.
BY rate of per cent we mean a
charge of SIS year for every 500 Dor
rowed; $500 then will cost 1,50ox5-10O,
or SIS a year. and for 3 1-3 years the in
terest charge win be 1-3 times SIS, or
$3.50. Before proceeding with more diff
! cult examples the student will solve
| the following;
1. Find the simple interest at per
cent on an account of $249.S0 which has
been running three years
Note-When interest is charged on
! overdue interest it is called compound
J interest. For instance, in the forego-
! ing example, if the interest due at the
end of the first year were added to the
| principal and the interest for the sec
ond year reckoned on the two together,
the interest would be called compound
interest, to distinguish it from ordinary
or simple interest.

cent cis an account of s73f.S0 which
has been running three years and four
months.
3. Find the simple interest at 61h per

GENERAL GREENE'S REPORT

Mark Hanna's local mouthpiece still
insists that Aguinaido was a tramp
picked UP in Hongkong. carried to Ma
Mia as a stowaway and restored to the
command of the Insurgents after having
sold out their people.
When the war with Spain broke out
AguiHaldo was not in Hongkong. but in
Singapore. Consul General Pratt, Pres
ident McKinley's appointee and legal
representative, hunted him up and in
duced him to join with the American
feet inl destroying the power of Spain
in the Philippines. Admiral Dewey re-
quested and accepted his services and
the government at Washington ratified
the alliance.

The impression is gaining ground
that the recent attacks upon Admiral
Dewey for putting his Washington
home in his sons name originated with
politicians who looked upon the admit
raj as a formidable and growing rival
to Mckinley for the presidency. Hanna
has been considerably agitated over
Dewey's popularity and his boom for
some time. Probably he will be able
now to get a nights rest.
