WHAT WILL YoUDo WITH THEM

The volunteers who have returned to
Utah, covered with glory and crowned
with victory, will soon settle down to
the humdrum of ordinary civil life.
After the local celebrations in their
honor in the towns where they reside,
and the excitement and praise and
greetings are over, the boys" will ex-
perience a calm of mind and rest of
body which may prove too quiet for
their continued happiness. This will
surely be the result if they find them
selves without profitable employment.
Some of them will probably return to
the positions which they occupied be-
fore stepping forward at the call of
their country, to be enrolled among its
defenders. But many others will need
friendly hand to help them into places
where they can gain an honorable live
lihood by honest toll. 1t will be a sad
finale to so bright a career, for any of
them to be left in idleness and in want.
The suggestion that special efforts be
made to open the way for them to lu-
crative work, suited to their individual

the proposition and urges it upon gen.

Salt Lake City will find the greatest
number of them upon its hands. There
are now many young men out of en-
ployment- But in the gradual revival
of business and the prosperity which is
gradually advancing. something profit

soldiers who have represented Utah so
bravely at the battles front Each
country place will doubtless take care
of its own. This is expected, at any rate.
Now let all who can, make a place for
our Salt Lake heroes. so that they may
have chance to labor for a living.
Now is the time to do something prac-
teal in this direction.

WASTE LANDS.

The reclamation of waste lands is a
work to be commended. 1t should re-
ceive encouragement. There are num-
berless acres in this State-large areas
in this county, which are now consid-
cred worthless either through lack of
water for irrigation or from excess of
mineral substances therein that are

ment, so it is said.
All that may be true, and if so it
will doubtless stimulate the owners or
claimants of. those tracts to renewed
exertions. We hope they will prove
successful. But we know that some of
that same land was tested by early set
tiers, time and again, and that though
crops of some kind could be raised the
first and second years, the rising of al
kaline matter to the surface, increased
by application of water, caused bar
renness to prevail and blasted the homes

cannot recede, having declared its po-

speak of reports to the effect that the

but little cause for her aggressive at
titude toward the African republic.
Wars nowadays are not precipitated
for the admitted purpose of land
grabbing. For their justification some
great principle is generally shown to
be involved, as was the case in the
late war with Spain. But what is the
great cause of humanity at stake in
conflict with Transvaal?
That question the English press now
endeavors to elucidate. According to

RIOTS IN FRANCE.

The situation in France, as the Drey-
fus trial proceeds, seems to grow more
| critical. There are many turbulent ele-
ments, particularly in the capital, only
waiting for a preteXt to break out in
revolutionary form. In fact, the coun-
try seems to be divided in two hostile
camps. On both sides are enemies of
| the republic who do not hesitate to use
violence, as the numerous fatalities
already on record prove And now a
serious Sunday riot has been added to
the list.
The outbreak seems to have been an
anti-government demonstration, pure
and simple. The mob gathered in re-
Spouse to an appeal by certain news
papers. Agitators were present and
delivered inflammatory addresses; the
police interfered and the clash came,
in which in the neighborhood of 400 per-
sons were more or less severely in
jured.
Strange to say, the fury of the mob
was chiefly directed against places of
worship. One church in particular was
the scene of pillage and vandalism. AL
tars and statues We're broken and pic
lures torn to pieces. The crucifix was
made the target of missiles, and the
figure was badly demolished. And fin
ally an attempt was made to burn the
building. Only after a fierce combat
did the police succeed in dispensing the
rioters.
1t is significant that revolutionists
generally turn their wrath against the
centers of religion. 1t is felt that re-
ligion is the strong pillar of the state,
and those who desire the overthrow of
the latter instinctively direct their blind
rage against the former, regardless, as
Samson of old, of the fact that in case
they succeed, they make their own
grave in the general wreck.
Fortunately for France in the pres
ent crisis, her minister of war is
strong character, not likely to be in
fluenced by sentimentality. Once be-
fore he faced the communistic out
break which disgracod Paris after the
war with Germany. There was no hest
tation, no leniency then, and there
will probably be none now.
1t looks very much as if the fate of
France were at present depending on
the trial at Rennes. Unquestionably
great number of army officers, many OF
the clergy and some of the newspapers
demand the conviction of the captain,
simply because he is a Jew. Should,
however. the court prove itself in
fluenced by prejudice, there will be fur
Their trouble 1t is much to be feared,
though, that facts and evidence will
be lost sight of in the CONFUSION the
trial has caused, and that political con-
siderations may triumph over truth and
justice.

of converts from "Mormonism," is the
miserable excuse for lack of figures to
show anything done. The report deals
in percentages. but does not give any
actual data to show whether the arith-
metic is right. So that the attempt to
make it appear that Methodism has
done big work here is an ignominous
failure.

ligious sectarian paper. 1t scarcely

1t is Illuminated for outside effect,

be done in Utah, in spite of all the signs
and proofs to the contrary, if the dis

ers, at so much per annum, can only
gain enough pecuniary aid to enable
them to carry to the people of Utah

Boston TRANSCRIPT.

There is an optimistic belief that the
world has gone beyond the medieval
ways of secrecy and revenge. but the
Dreyfus affair is a reminder that the
change has been only in the adaptation
of modern methods to ends sought.
France is divided by the affair into
the two factions of great feud, pre-
cisely as it would have been divided
three hundred years ago by state trial
of equal Importance initiated in equal
mystery We find the church and the
army on one side, a great mass of the
civil population on the other. and still
greater mass shifting between.

matters it has appeared as if the chief
executive was regarded as merely a
