ACCIDENTAL TRuTH-TELLING

Some guileless youth on the Daily
storm-Starter is due to lose his job.
Here is what he wrote:
V. S. Peet, eastern agent of the Bear
River Irrigation company, is in the city
from Boston. He reports an unsuccess-
full trip on account of the anti-Roberts
agitation in the east.
Doesn't the man who interviewed Mr..
Peet read his own paper?
Doesn't he know that the anti-Rob-
erts agitation was begun solely to help
Utah and Utah's business interests?
Doesn't he know that the only mo-
tive behind the Storm-Starter is love
for this state and a desire to advertise
its attractions to eastern people?
To be sure, the Tribune constantly
publishes its belief that Utah is large
ly populated by pledge breakers, vio-
lators of the law who follow Asiatic
methods, but that is meant TO benefit
the state, for the Tribune itself says so.
This reporter had no business quot
ing Mr.. Peet as saying his business trip
was a failure because of the Tribune's
pet agitation. If he had been in touch
with his papers usual policy he would
have quoted Mr.. Peet for a column or
two, praising the organ of the rising
storm, telling what great good it had
done abroad for the state and predict
ing an immediate influx of eastern set
tiers and investors as a sequel to the
rising storm.
He must be a novice.

self up as a ruler over the territory
conquered by Spain 300 years before.
and wrested from Spain by the Ameri-
can navy.
In the negotiations with Aguinaldo at
the end OF 1897 not word was said by
him about independence. What he de-
manded was the expulsion of the relig-
ious orders. or, at any rate, the disso-
luton of the monasteries; the admis-
sion of natives to the civil service; the
freedom Of the press; the reform Of
legal procedure, and the concession Of
equal legal rights to the Filipinos. Fin
ally, as everybody knows, in lieu Of
these reforms. he took a bribe from the
Spanish captain general and retired to
Hongkong.
In view Of these circumstances Agon-
cillo's statement that, in the fight Of the
FIIipinos for liberty, they received the
encouragement of the United States.
and were never informed that the OBJ
tanning and preservation of such indie
pendeace would be regarded as a hostile
act by America" is misleading and i'm
pudent-
The United States knew little and
cared less about the merits of their
fight with Spain. The real object of
Dewey's battle was to cripple the en-
envy and sweep from the Pacific fleet
that was a menace to commerce.

SALT PALACE FUNDS.

Having passed from the realm of pos
sibility into that of assured fact, the
Salt Palace is taking I'D the time and
occupying the serious consideration of
many leading business men Of the city
The committee having the matter in
charge is well employed, and the mem
bers are highly encouraged over the
outlook. They have selected MIR. E. \.
Mcdaniel to take charge of the prelim-
mary work preparatory TO the perma-
nent organization of the enterprise.
The choice is a good one. and will
meet with general approval. Mr.. Nc
Daniel has had considerable experience
II matters of this kind; he served sew
eraI years as member of the Deseret
Agricultural & Manufacturing society
board, and took an active part in the
conduct of the territorial fair, and later
he served as secretary of the Utah
worlds fair commission, where he had
charge of all of the detail work con-
nected with Utah's part in this great
exposition.
Mr.. Mcdaniel, at the solicitation of
the committee. has undertaken 10 COM
plete the subscriptions to the capital
stock of the salt Palace company. and
The Herald wishes him and the enter
prise every success.

palace is impending. The emperor is
strictly guarded in the southwest cor
ner of the island palace. The draw
bridge connecting the island with the
shore is drawn up at night, and every
morning the ice around the island is
broken. in order to prevent unauthor-
lied persons from approaching.
she IS no respecter of persons, and
cares nothing about the traditional
tyranny of man. Instead OF crying out
against it. she goes to work and the
whole celestial outfit stands around
The dispatch also says that the dow
ager practically ignores the council of
state, or the emperor's cabinet, and
positively refuses to have anything to
DO with the Tsung Ii Yamen, or Chi
nese foreign office. This body consists
now of one prominent Manchu. Prince
Ching; one astute Chinese, who Will
yield nothing to reason, but everything
TO fear. Hsu Yungyi, and one Chinese
scholar, an encyclopedias of useless
knowledge, Yuan Chang. The other
three members are nonentities STEPPED
in an ignorance that her highness de-
scribes as simply amazing.
When the new emperor is proclaimed,
the present incumbent will doubtless
be beheaded, that no complications
may arise.
Old Ii Hung Chang is a favorite, and
viii doubtless have the leadership of
the foreign office when the change is
effected. Her chief counselors are the
two Manchus, Kang vi and Jung-lu,
but it is on the latter that she depends
chiefly.
These will fare we'll She has already
distributed number of rich plumes to
trusted adherents and tried opponents
Of reform. For this seems to be her pas
sion, her hobby. While she favors Rus
STA as between that government and
Great Britain, her real object is to OPP
pose the encroachments of modern
civilization, and she is trying to estab-
fish a government which welcomes the
abolition of all attempts at reform.
Her iron hand and the almost super
stitious awe with which the dowager
is regarded by her subjects may enable
her to keep the barriers up a little
longer, but every day she does so the
of the empire are getting
a little more uncertain. This is not an
age when the execution of political
prisoners will be allowed to pass I'M
or when commercial exclusive
ness will be tolerated.

CARTER AND THE FILIPlNOS.

Senator Carriers idea of pacifying the
Filipinos by whipping them to death
will appeal to the imagination of most
western men because of its evident
origin in the old idea that the only
good Indian was a dead Indian.
AS a means OF promoting amity with
the FiIipinos, however, the senator's
speech is about as inopportune as any
thing yet offered on the subject 1t
sounds almost as though it might have
been reproduced from the parliament
airy debates of the time when our fore
fathers were making trouble for John
Bull.
The followers of King George in those
days likewise had notion that the
speediest way of promoting peace was
to give somebody a sound thrashing-
and they tried it The result was hard
~ as pleasant TO them as they had
expected, but they learned sense from
it.
Seriously, Senator Carter's hyperbole
is as much TO be regretted as is the
delay in the confirmation of the treaty.
Both tend to give the world at large
the idea that the American people don't
know how to shoulder responsibility
soberly and attend to it promptly. The
opponents of ratification would have
Aguinaldo and his followers believe the
nation that conquered Spain is afraid
TO undertake the duty thrust upon it
by the war-the duty of promoting
peace, order. law wherever the Ameri-
can flag flies. Senator Carriers talk. en-
the other hand, would create the belief
that we are ready, almost anxious. to
infiict cruelty upon a people whose des-
tiny lies in our hands.
Obviously the thing to do. the thing
the people of this country want done,
is to have the treaty ratified promptly
and without threats or expressions of
fear as to the outcome.

NEW FACES IN THE SENATE

A number of new senators will aD-
pear in the national congress at the
next session. In the house faces are
always changing, but the senate is very
slow about changing the old for the
new. When a senator is elected in the
United States he sends his credentials
on in advance. They are presented by
his colleague, read from the desk and
filed in the secretary's Office, unless
some objection is raised, when they
are sent to the committee on privileges
and elections for examination.
AS William E. Curtis describes it,
when a senator-elect appears he is led
by his colleague TO the clerks desk,
where he takes an oath to support the
constitution Of the United States. and
is then led to a desk on the outer row
which his colleague has secured for him
where he receives the congratulations
Of his friends and introductions TO the
senators who care to make his ac-
auaintance. He looks as wise as may
be. and waits for adjournment, when
he goes to the secretary's office, writes
his autograph in a big red book for the
use of the cashier, and draws his mile
age.
There is a great deal more ceremony
in similar proceedings in the English
house of lords, according to the same
correspondent.
A newly created peer enters that his
toric chamber in a robe of scarlet vel
vet. trimmed with ermine, attended by
two fellow peers, who act as his sDon-
sors, and escorted by the black rod, as
the sergeant-at-arms is known, and the
garter king-at-arms, arrayed in Il gor-
geous tabard. The procession marches
around, makes low bows to the empty
throne and to the presiding oficer-who
is the lord high chancellor-from diff
ferent parts Of the gilded chamber to
which that imposing person gravely re
spends. When the new peer reaches
the throne he kneels reverenuy and
places upon the empty chair, where her
majesty the queen ought TO be sitting,
the patent of nobility he has received
from his sovereign. He is then led to
the woolsack, where the lord chancellor
administers 10 him an oath. His sDon-
sors next lead him to the proper bench,
where he takes his seat for a moment
Then all three rise and bow three times
at the vacant throne and three times
to the presiding officer. The lord high
chancellor then leaves the wooIsack and
comes down to shake hands with the
new peer and welcome him 10 the
house. The other peers come also, and
tender their congratulations.
Still, that simple proceeding in the
United States senate clothes a member
with as much authority as does the
robe Of velvet and ermine, and all the
pomp and ceremony Of parliament 1t
is largely a matter of taste and tradi-

On the Roberts Question.
Editor Herald:

!
1 see that the city of my birth-even
| conservative Boston" is putting itself
on record through its men of letters
and women of fame-in regard to ;!'e
social and political problem.
Mary A. Livermore, who has for
many years been called queen of the
Lecture Bureau" says: Don't perse-
cute the Mormonsi" Does she say this
because she is likely TO become Nor
mon, or be converted to the plural wife
idea2 No, / know her too well TO be-
lieve this 1t is that strong sense Of
justice that has marked her course
through this life, and her clear COM
prehension of situations. and courage OF
conviction TO express her opinions when
fully formed that has called from her
this expression: Don't prosecute the
Mormons." She thinks, with other
leaders in public thought, that the day
has passed for persecution" and now,
especially, religious dogmas should
stand or Gall on their own merits. This
question of social relationship is
question that has been harassing the
minds of doctors and philosophers of
all degrees, OF writer's. too, who
mould 20 a great extent public Senti-
ment For years the noble women and
the good men throughout the world
have been trying TO cope with it and
reduce. in some degree, the misery eX
listing everywhere, more or less, in the
marriage relation. When marriage shall
reach the ideal, L think 1 am safe in
saying, with the poet--it is and must
be-''tWo souls with but a single
thought two hearts that beat as one"
But this question seems to have been
left TO a Titan man to cope with. and
that it has aroused the whole United
States, and liable to become interna-
tional before we get through with ii,
proves that it is the next great queS-
ton for the civilized world and heath
ems. too, to settle. So ! say, go on.
Brother Roberts, and fight your own
fight; you are equal to it, guess, and
we women are watching you critically.
Louisa Chandler Moulton, an
other of Boston's grand women. says:
IF an honorable man has married
three wives, while it was legal to do
so, his obligations to himself can
hardly be changed by subsequent legis-
lation, as in other countries and other
centuries it has been customary to
have more wives than one, and a hus-
band was expected to care for them
all. Under these DerDleXing circum-
stances, il seems the power TO act rests
with the women. AS q man, marrying
three wives under the Mormon cove
nant, which definitely provides for DO
lygamy, in the ceremony which unites
them each 20 nm, could not, IN justice
to all, make a distinction between
them"
But my letter is getting too long; it
was only intended to be suggestive"
upon question which seems to be stir
ring the heart of the nation-and the
end is not yet! For marriage, single or
complex, is not always what it seems.
And now we have tried b. II. Roberts
on the merits or dement's of his conju-
gal relations, his eligibility resting on
this question, as 10 his fitness to enter
the sacred house of congress-why be
partial? Let us go through the house
and senate, and try them all alikel

AFFAIRS IN CHINA.

Women are not supposed to count
among the Chinese, where female in
fants are destroyed and little girls are
sold into bondage or hired out for i'm
moral purposes, when they ought to be
in school.
Neither do the Chinese believe in wo-
men teachers, artisans, or even in al

lines laid down for men. Yet the flow
