STARTED NO FIRE, Ell?

''The Tribune has started no fire,
made no Misrepresentation
So says the organ that denounced the
Democratic state convention as Asiatic;
that declared that men raised under the
influences which surrounded B. H. Rob-
erts from infancy were trained to Ash
attic methods.
1t never made any misrepresenta-
tons, Ell? Let us see about that The
organ said during and since the late
campaign that the contracting of plu-
raj marriages in the Mormon church is
still being practiced as it was years
ago. 1t refused to give proofs, but re-
peatedly declared; 1--WE know it is
true"
Wasn't that Misrepresentation
Wasn't that starting the fire?
1t said that the elders of the church
were solernnizing these marriages in
defiance of the law. Wasn't that mis-
representation, too?

ELECTRICITY AND BAcILLl.

| Sometimes it seems that the marvelS
of electricity are only beginning to I'M
fold; that developments are in their
very infancy, wonderful as the achieve
ments of electricity have been already.
| Not only have power, heat and light
beer generated by this potent agency,
but as a tranSnitter of news, as a
means of communication, it has revo-
lutioniZed journalism, made the world
small community, changed CONNER
cial customs and enabled business to
keep pace with the demands of an in
creasing population.
AS an aid To surgery, in the location
of foreign substances, such as bullets,
in the body, the examination of frae-
lures, dislocations, and the like, it has
proved invaluable to science and hui
mainly.
Just now electricity is being dis
cussed as a bacilli destroyer and a
means of prolonging life. Parties are
in Washington arranging to pat
ent this new discovery in electricity
and o-therapeutics. If all is true
of the process that is claimed for it,
there is a boon and surprise in store
for the world when it is made known.
De Leon thought the secret of pro-
longing life, or restoring youth, was
to be found in a spring. The promises
of this application of electricity show
that it is the spring whence flows this
mysterious fluid wherein the secret
lies, if it is to be found on earth at ALL
A lawyer of national reputation who
investigated the matter with the object
of becoming attorney for the inventors,
has been perfecting the arrangements
for the patent He says the process is
very complicated, so much so that one
explanation would not suffice, even for
electrical experts.
The subject" he says, will require
a series of technical papers and even
then. what will result? Mystery as
dense and as impenetrable as the the
Dry of life itself. But we will get prac-
teal results which will astound the
world. Men will be ready to believe
that the age of miracles has not
passed"
To reporter of the Indianapolis Sem
tinel, the lawyer remarked: by this |
process 1 can buckle you into an cleo
trio current OF 100000 VOTES, and you
will not feel any physical sensation. If |
you are tired, 1 can fill your cells with !
fresh energy. If you have any bacilli |
Of disease in your system 1 can destroy |
them. Would you believe me when 1 |
tell you that by several applications of |
an electro-static current of teremndous |
Potentially 1 can utterly destroy the |
bacilli of tuberculosis and heal the /
lungs?"
1t is said that a number of patients |
have been treated for experimental /
purposes, and that the electric cure
has proved infallible. Those who are in
the secret say that the publication of
this discovery will astound the medi-
cal world.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The name of Alone in Greater New
York" is rather the worst thing about
it. 1t prejudices one, and with MEM
cries of Carriers displays OF scenery,
the announcements of elevated rail-
ways, bridges, docks, ETC., did not tend
to make the anticipation any pleasan-
ter. While the story of In Greater
New York is not at all times clear,
and there are many incongruities in the
situations, it had the merit of holding
ones interest, and was at times suffi-
GENTLY exciting TO win the approval of
the galleries.
The central role is that of a street
waif, girl brought up in the cutters,
used to kicks and blows, but, never
theless, with a heart of gold"
The story deals with efforts to OBJ
tain papers pertaining to her mother s
marriage, purloined by the villain, her
uncle. and his accomplice, for pecun-
larry reasons, of course.
Tiny, the waif. and her friend, Jack
go through various misfortuneS and
adventures, but it all ends happily, with
the villain foiled and happiness to
those who deserved it. Miss Lewis, a
hearty, jolly-lOoking little woman, won
entire favor with the audience, and
was more fortunate in the bright scenes
than in the pathetic ones. She was SO
full of life that she could not seem to
tone down, but in heroic she was quite
convincing.
Mr.. Risley, as her partner in trouble,
and joy also. was very satisfactory,
and MIR. Warner, as q New York tough,
was also good, barring a slight ten
dency to overdo his part. The ether
parts were passabiy we'll handled. The
scenery makes no such pretensions as
that of the Carter production, but the
play is vastly more interesting. 1t is
quite different from anything Mr. Null
vey has presented this season, and the
audience last night gave evidence that
it pleased his patrons. For those who
are fond of an exciting story, which
ends with the good up, and the bad
down. "Alone in Greater New York; is
we'll worth the price of admission.

RUSSIA'S NAVAL GROWTH.

Several days ago The Herald called
attention TO the cars military activity
which cast shadow of insincerity over
his peace proposal Only last week
Lord Salisbury sent a note of encour-
agement to his Russian highness ask
ing for particulars regarding the moot
ed partial disarmament of Europe.
The dispatches published this morn
ing, however, indicate that the year
1899 viii see large additions to the ma
terial of her navy. The department is
advised that she will have under con-
struction during the present year six
new battleships, one armored cruiser,
six protected cruisers, five 3,000-ton
cruisers of twenty-five knots, and thir-
ty-five torpedo-boat destroyers.
An outlay of some SCI, 600 on war
ships alone is contemplated besides the
strengthening of the army and out
posts.
Russia's navy has been steadily
growing for two centuries. 1t began
with Peter the Great, when the nation
had but one seaport, yet long before
he died he was master Of an immense
stretch of coastIine. His reign began
in 1859. when 'the Baltic was almost a
Swedish lake, the Black sea Turkish,
and the Caspian sea Persian.
Peter had .reigned seven years when
he captured the port of Azoff. The ex-
plot was the opening move of new
national policy, which soon brought the
inland empire into contact with the
maritime powers. His capture of Hell
singfors and Abo, on the northern shore
of the gulf of Finland, in 1713, was the
first oversee operation of Russia, and
before his death Russia was not only
we'll established on the Baltic, but mis-
tress of a long line of Caspian and
Black sea coast.
The first appearance of a Russian
fleet in the Mediterranean was in 1869,
during the reign of Catherine IL Sir
G. Sydenham Clarke claims that this |
fleet was the creation of enterprising |
who We're very friendly |
with the Russians at that time. The |
practice of going to England and Scot |
land for naval officers became so COM |
mon in the days of Catherine that there |
was great dissatisfaction among the
native seamen. 1t is related that, in
1888, when Paul Jones was appointed a
rear admiral in the Russian service. !
that sixty Russian officers resigned
their commissions.
Some Of the heroes of the Russian /
navy were Englishmen of prominence
IN their own country, but so great was
the attachment that they braved all
dangers for the love of war and their
friendship for the land of the ears. In
1885 there was another manifestation OF
the bond of good will between the two
countries when a Russian squadron as
sisted the English fleet in preventing
a French invasion of Ireland during
an Instruction. In 1898 Russia was
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-01-10

again with England in the enforcement
of mutual maritime rights.
But the Crimean war marks the date
of the arrangement which has grown
up between Russia and England. I'M
til. at times, it looks like a conflict be-
tween the giant powers We're immi-
nent-a conflict which would shake the
world.
And it is since the Crimean war that
the dormant spirit of Peter has been
aroused. Jealousy of Russia's naval
strength at that time supplied, it is
believed, the real animus of that un-
dertaking. But, instead of discourage
ing the ambition of a rival, it stimu-
lated it. And the navy of the czars
has been increasing ever since.

PLAYS BEYOND THE LIMIT.

In its incoherent muttering a badly
ratified contemporary refers to some
one or other who cursed the civiliza-
ton which put the limit of decency on
hired blackguards.'
The Tribune is prima facia evidence
of the fact that civilization never did
any such thing. Or, if it has. our con-
temporary invariably refuses to play
within the limit
Whether it's blackguard is hired or
works for nothing makes no difference
1t has no business to Dersistently dis
regard limit to which it calls at
tention. Still, it may have heard of it
without ever seeing it. For the organ
of the rising storm is a stranger to de-
cency.

JUST so NEAR, BUT NO NEARER.

Merely for the purpose of showing
how near the truth the Republican Or
gan has been known to approach two
excerpts are given-one from a letter
and the other from its editorial COM
menting on that letter. The organ says:
I'VE sincerely trust that young Utah
viii not fail to read the Grant letters
They will keep in mind that the letters
were written by an apostle, who, in
the regular order of things, may be-
come president of the church, few
years hence. They will not fail to
note that he lays down the principle
that it is just as honorable to use
money to purchase an office as to use
heaven-born abilities"
Mr.. Grants letter, wherein it re-
ferred to this particular matter, is as
follows:
1T is being urged against Mr.. Nc
Cune that he is trying to purchase a
seat in the senate, because he respond
ed so literally to appeals for aid dur
ing the last campaign. To my mind.
an argument of this kind is simply an
outrage. To ask q man for aid and
then try TO destroy his reputation for
giving it, is simply to damn a man
for doing what you ask him to do. and
shows an utter lack of gratitude. Mr..
McCune gave his aid freely and with
out exacting pledge from any men,
