PhiIadeIphia's Great Export
Exposition--The Opening.

The opening of the National Expor
Exposition in Philadelphia on Thursda!
under the auspices of the Philadelphia
Museum and the Franklin Institute
proved to be a notable and inspiring
occasion. 1t is the first National Ex'
position of the manufacturers of th'
United States for the advancement OF
American manufacture and the exten.
sion Of export trade.
The opening exercises were held In
the magnificent Auditorium which
forms part of the main building oil
the Exposition. The Auditorium has
seating capacity Of nearly 6000, but
1t was all too small for the accommoda-
tion of the enormous crowds which
gathered to witness the opening cere-
monies.
The main entrance of the building on
South street, leads to the main build
ing of the Exposition through wide
and beautiful esplanade, with many
green swards and profnsion OF ever
green decoration on the landscape.
The crowd passed through this grand
avenue of approach, which is lined on
either side by succession Of striking
buildings of peculiar a:d fantastic
architecture, in which the lighter
amusements of the Exposition, the d.
versions, SO to speak, Of the show, are
to be seen and enjoyed. These struc-
lures comprise group Of buildings in
which is gathered the inhabitants of q
Chinese village of SOC persons. Near
this is to be seen an Oriental theatre,
coffee house and smoking room. In
front of which one will see the curious
dancers and performers of the theatre
gazing at the passing throngs, no doubt
as funny a sight to them as they to the
first day visitor to the Exposition.
The busy preparations for the camps
for the holding Of Navajo and Moqui
tribes Of Mexican Indians wele also
visible from the esplanade, affordiDg
an interesting picture Of aboriginal life.
The United States Marine Band Of
70 pieces, in the full glory of their gors
geous gold and red, had the honor to
do the first thing In connection with
the opening Of the exposition. AS

Certainly. Sheriff Belnap of Weber
county went To Honeyville. in Box Ell
der county, to serve a warrant-for
what? Did Al X. Green travel past the
doors of dozen justices and through
the county seat-of his own county, fifty
miles, to the county seat of another
county, to get a sheriff (whO. by the
way is a Mormon) to serve a warrant
for wife-beating?
No: the procurer of information who
was so careful to note that the number
of the marriage license was SO. over
looks the detail that HGnsaker was to
be arrested for perjury, committed in
Ogden, and therefore the Ogden sheriff
took the warrant. He also omits to
state that when Hunsaker's duplicity
became known he was stripped of his
church offices, his own father taking
the initiative, and that prosecution for
perjury and bigamy awaits him If he
can lever be captured in the United
States All the facts were published,
even in the Tribune, at the time of
Hunsaker's flight, but, of course. mat
Ter intended for eastern distribution
must be shorn of all details tending to
show that Utah is a pledge-keeping
state.
The Tribune is kind enough to inform
the public that its Ogden informant be-
longs to class of citizens other than

recognized. in Ogden from what source

ONE NOTABLE CHAMPION.

A correspondent asks if any of the
communistic experiments referred to in
a recent issue of The Herald ever re-
ceived the endorsement of any of the
leading newspapers of the United
States.
One of the most eminent journalists
this country ever produced, Horace
Greedy, threw open to Ceresco, the Wis
consin experiment, the columns of the
New York Tribune, one of the most
influential American newspapers.
He hailed it as a model community
and proof positive that socialism could
be made a success. For, while it dis
solved by mutual consent, it was not
because of failure in the plans and
workings. These were all that men
and women had hoped for But the
system was not compatible with the
home sentiment, the family exclusive
ness for which parents yearn; espe-
cially those whose natures make them
altruistic and philanthropic, long for
the retirement of home and the seclu-
sion Of the family circle.

COAL DETERMINES IT..

A contemporary explains that gov
eminent transports are sent TO Manila
via the Suez canal on account of the
winter storms encountered in going
around Cape Horn.
AS matter of fact. when it is winter
here it is summer weather on the Cape
Horn route, as well as in the Indian
ocean, through which vessels pass after
leaving the Suez canal. 1t is now, at
this season of the year, that the sea is
smoothest near Cape Horn. And in
July and August terrific monsoons are
prevalent in the Indian ocean.
Even in the stormy season a great
deal of rough sea is avoided and about
900 miles cut off the Horn trip by pass
ing through the Strait of Magellan and
Smyth's channel. Steamers passing
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
vice versa seldom go around the Horn.
The waters of the strait and channel
are as smooth as Puget's sound. So
it isn't the weather that sends trans
ports at this time of the year through
the Suez, 10000 miles to Manila
1t is the price of coal along the route.
On the South American run, coal
ranges from SO to SIS per ton. 1t is
never higher than IS at any port on
the oriental trip. Then it is coal, and
not the weather, that sends vessels
from New York to Manila via the
SueZ canal.

TABOOED INDUSTRIES.

1t may be of interest to prohibition
lists to know that during the lass fiscal
year so, 1852, 213 gallons of distilled spirits
were deposited in the warehouses of
distilleries. And how much moon
shine" was made besides no one knows.
However. the amount sold in accord
ance with the law yielded revenue to
the government Of $S7,741. 23S. And.
owing to the additional levy made for
war purposes, the yield of revenue will
be much larger this year.
The records of the internal revenue
bureau show further that during the
last fiscal year 81, 1873. sos barrels of fer
mented liquors We're produced in the
United States and an internal revenue
tax collected upon 1910, 1897. 397 cigars,
3,753 697, 9OS cigarettes, 2SS 1868 pounds
of chewing and smoking tobacco, and
15.225, 1874 pounds of snuff.
This indicates the extent of the bust
ness transacted in luxuries forbidden
by the appetite reformers Of the land
As internal revenue taxes are levied by
the gallon on distilled spirits, by the
barrel on beer and by the pound on to-
bacco, it is not easy to estimate from
these figures the market value of the
product

amounted to s4.OoS,s2s, while the i'm
ports from the United States were
s2,510,oo In. 1897 the exports to the
United States were S2.1S1.O24; imports
from the United States, s1,ssS.sss-
Among the articles which have been
profitably exported from the United
States to Porto Rico are ironware,
glassware, chemicals, textiles. paper,
lumber. machinery. carriages, dried
and sailed meats, butter, grease, cod
fish, flour, coal and fruits.
Now that the Spanish yoke has been
removed, with more liberal commercial
regulations the trade of Porto Rico
with the world could be greatly in
creased. The leading exports of the
island consist of coffee, sugar, nolasses
and tobacco. There is a market in this
country for these products, and the re-
moval OF trade restrictions viii give
American shippers free access to all
the markets of the world with Cuban
and Porto Rican produce.

PROMISING PORTO RICO.

Porto Rico is preferable to Cuba as
q place of residence. 1t isn't sickly,
notwithstanding the length of the
rainy season and the density of the
population.
The temperature of Porto Rico sell
dom rises above 81 degrees Fahrenheit,
in the shade, and at night it recedes to
eS or SO degrees. The rainy season ex-
tends from August to December, when
rain falls in the northern section copi-
ously.
Another point to consider is that
Porto Rico is much more densely popu-
lated than Cuba The latter has an
area of 1850 English square miles and
a population Of 1,esL6S7. Porto Rico
has an area ofs3.6TO square miles and a
population of SO67OS, or about half the
population of duba.
Commercial intercourse between the
United States and Porto Rico has been
more important in proportion than that
between this country and Cuba. In
1896 the importations into the island
amounted TO $1s,9 1913 and the exports
from the possession to S17.295, 525, and
the number of vessels employed in the
commerce was placed at 1.O77. OF this
business, exports to the United States

CURRENCY REFORM LINGERS

Some of the currency reformers are
sorely disappointed because the presi-
dent cannot make up his mind to call
an extra session of congress for the ex-
press purpose of taking up their pet
scheme
But Secretary Gage and other radical
gold standard advocates are willing to
wait until next December In the
meantime they hope to educate the
public mind to an appreciation pf their
particular kind of patriotism.
Many people are at a loss to under
stand why these so-called reformers
are so anxious to legislate for gold
when they made it the sole and exclu-
sive standard in 1873, by omission and
fraud, but as effectually as any subse-
quent legislation can make it.
Secretary Gage has given the answer.
1t is the answer the president is wait
ing to make when the sound money
congress" assemblies next winter at
Washington. 1t is the answer of the
two Hannas, of Mr.. Mckinley, of the
members of the cabinet, of the gold
DuSS III inc lMO IOuScS OI the
legislature.
They want to give the gold standard
the vitality of public law as Secre-
tary Gage has said, and they are also
anxious Ito eliminate the money ques-
ton from among political issues"
BY working up an artificial initiation
this summer. ridiculing Bryan and the
silverites, and appealing to the dear
people" until congress assemblies. they
hope to work the scheme without en-
countering much opposition. To elimi-
nate a vital public question from po-
ntical issues. it must be put beyond the
reach of the people. It must be placed
where they cannot touch it. however
much they might have ~ wish or feel
the need.
The way TO prevent attempts of the
people TO govern. to crush the indie
pendence of the masses, is to destroy
the power of the majority to rule. Laws
may be repealed by other laws. A
change of the complexion of congress
would enable this to be done. But there

THE WHOLE TRUTH.
Hunsaker; Case Reviewed and Sensa-
tional Charge Disproved.
Ogden, Utah, March 10, 1899.

Ogden, Utah, March Is, 1899.
To the Editor of The Herald:
The Tribune this morning prints a
communication from Ogden purporting
to give the facts about the actions of
one Simeon Hunsaker in taking a sec
ond wife here in Ogden. The argument
of the communication as we'll as of the
editorial based upon it is to show that
the Hunsaker case completely refutes
the claim of Lorenzo Snow, c. W.
PenrOse and others that polygamous
marriages have not been sanctioned by
the church since the manifesto.
The correspondent recites some Of the
facts with a great parade of accuracy
but the manner in Which ne misapplies
those facts and suppresses the material
ones suggests that his views are so
narrow that he might look through a
keyhole with both eyes at once. Note
some of the wriggling methods in the
following:
"On June 80, 1897, Hunsaker and Ma
tilda Teuber, aged %, came to Ogden,
went to the court house, took out a
marriage license, Hunsaker giving his
and were married. The marriage &C.

tion, and the aforementioned names
are copied from said license, which is
No. 96. Since this marriage there has
been trouble in the Hunsaker home.
and Hunsaker has evidently gotten
tired of wife No. l, for he has at times
cruelty beaten her. So cruelty had she
been beaten that her father, Mr.. A. K
Green, became enraged, and in July
of last year a warrant was sworn out
against Hunsaker. and Sheriff Belnap
went to arrest him, but it is believed
that Hunsaker was warned, for when
Belnap arrived on the field of opeCa-
tions the bird had flown with wife No.
2. 1t is believed that Hunsakeg' is NOW
in Mexico-maybe in Colonial"
In the very first sentence his argu-
ment falls to the ground. ''Hunsaker
gave his name as Simeon A. Hensel''
Certainly, and therein he committed the
crime of perjury, as he did when he
signed the affidavit that no legal bar
existed to the proposed marriage. HAY
ing secured the license he might have
had the marriage ceremony performed
by the Presbyterian minister, by the
chief justice Of the supreme court. or
any one having legal authority, as well
as by the Mormon elder But" says

Republican organs in other states are
rejoicing with those of Utah that
fractional obstruction was placed in the
way of senatorial election by Demo-
cratic legislature. The Denver Times
takes this view: THE Democrats of
Utah are to be congratulated upon the
brand of harmony they have in stock
in that state of golden promise. Poor,
hungry, selfish people! Rather than
allow any of their number to be elected
to the United States senate, the joint
session of the legislative body of that
state adjourned without electing SEN
ator. 1t was quarrel between the
Democrats. The Republicans threw no
straws in the way, for they had but

While Havana has been regarded as
a pesthole, it is not impossible to make
it one of the most sanitary cities in
the world. The bay is a huge cesspool,
that contains enough germs of all sorts,
kinds and conditions to devastate the
world. There is almost no tideway in
the bay-not more than four inches
With American capital and business
ability the drainage of Havana and it's
consequent improvement in matters of
health are foregone conclusions. 1t
ought to be made a health resort, for
the climate of Cuba is in many parts
delightful. Being insular, the heat of
the sun is much tempered by cooling
breezes from the surrounding waters.
1t is much more healthy than is COM

Speaking of the mineral wealth of the
Philippines, it does not compare with
that of Cuba, which is incompatible
and inexhaustible. The copper mines
are exceedingly rich, and added cap
ital and energy will develop them to
much greater degree. The iron mines
are capable of producing enormous
quantities of Bessemer iron ores. These
ores are very valuable, and known the
world over to manufacturers as Span
'ish ores" AS time strides on, the
smoke of factory chimneys will be no
novel sight in the land from whose
neck the brutal heel of tyranny and
cruelty has been so recently forced.

While some of our Republican con-
temporaries are still defending the pro-
tective tariff, it was gratifying. to-
note that many of them. were able TO
rise above partisanship in demanding
the removal of the tariff tax on paper
and paper. pulp. The paper-making
trade of this country is largely menop-
olized by the International Paper COM
pany, a trust with a capitalization of
$55 0O0, 600, which sells its surplus prod
uct in England Australia and Japan,
in competition with Canadian, German
and Swedish manufacturers. There is
no country in the world where paper
can be manufactured cheaper than in
the United States, and yet the makers
have a protection of about SLIGO a ton
on their product. When it comes to
paper or ink, or any of the materials
consumed by our esteemed protection
contemporaries, they seem to forget
that the foreigner pays the tax
