STUDYING CHRONOLOGY.

The study of coloniology is popular
at present. The administration is talk
ing few lessons, congress is pursuing
it with great energy, and the people
are reading up on the subject in gen
| eral way. 1t is very interesting, partic-
| ularly in the vicinity of the Philip
pines.
AS an aid to the investigation a re-
port has just been issued by the bureau
of statistics of the treasury depart
ment. 1t contains much valuable in
formation about the colonies of the
world, which are 126 in number, with
an area of 21,021,3S2 square miles, and
population of 500, 046,S24.
Including the four colonies Of the
United States. obtained through the
ratification of the Paris treaty, this re-
public has colonial area of 16S, 2S7
square miles, covered with a population
of 1911, 900.
1t is estimated that two-fifths of the
entire land surface of the globe is TAX
en- up by colonies, and that their COM
bined population is one-third of the
total population of the earth. AS is
well known, Great Britain stands at
the head with forty-eight colonies,
with a population of 344, 059, 122. France
comes next in order and the area she
controls is about one-fourth that of
Great Britain and her population less
than one-sixth. The United States is
third and Germany fourth.
The abstract shows that the total i'm
ports of these colonies average $780,
000000 year, and of this vast sum, 20
per cent is purchased from the mother
countries. OF their exports, which con-
siderably exceed the imports and reach
nearly 5000 OOO, 600, a similar proportion
goes to the mother country. Although
large sums have been expended an
nually in the colonies for highways,
canals, railways, telegraphs, schools,
harbors, irrigation systems, postal
service, buildings and other public i'm
provements, the cost has in almost
every case been met by the local reve-
nues or by loans. While the public
Indebtedness in the more important and
active of these communities aggregates
a large sum, it is represented by pub
lie improvements, which stimulate
commerce and production.
1t is also demonstrated that the
open door" policy is followed in COM
merce, that the mother country enters
its colonial market under the same re-
strictions and upon the same basis as
do foreign nations. The argument is
to show that differential duties are I'M
profitable, wherefore the tariff should
be maintained between this republic
and its ports or possessions.
AS this would be clearly a violation
of the spirit and letter of the federal
constitution, the open door" policy of
the administration cannot be pursued
in Cuba, Porto Rico, or the Philip
pines with very good grace or any
marked respect for the fundamental
law of this government.

against the church itself; for such
practices cannot exist in the church and
the organization escape the responsible
ity Therefore, The Herald said the
charges fought to be denied by some
one in a position to know, and with
authority to speak for the people ac-
cused
The Deseret News wants to know if
this is fair; if it isn't shifting the re-
sponsibility to require accused persons
to disprove the charges.
That is not the point When charges
are made a plea is entered. IF this be
denial the burden is upon the accuser
to prove the truth of his complaint. So
long as no denial is made there is no
necessity for proof. The Herald was
right.
So the News, as the official organ of
the church of Latter-day Saints, so des--
Lorenzo Snow, enters denial Of every
charge made by the Tribune. 1t says:
All that can be expected of us is a
specific denial. This we enter now,
with as much emphasis as words ready
to be supported by affidavit can give
to it,"
It is now in order for the Tribune to
produce it's evidence. If the charges
are true, as our neighbor so positively
declares them to be, it ought to fur
nish something besides its bare asser-
ton. Nor will epithets or raging take
the place of proof. This is really too
serious a matter to lose sight of in
jokes or personalities.
Neither is it fair or honest for our
morning contemporary to put aside this
request for proof when it pretends TO
speak for young Utah or any portion of
the Mormon masses. They are inter-
ested in knowing whether their leaders
are true or false, whether they are
honest or dishonest, sincere or not.
They have q, right to know if plural
marriages are still being contracted in
the name of the church and solesnnized
by the elders of the church in defiance
of the law.
They deserve better treatment at the
hands of the Tribune than the follow
ing paragraph shows it is disposed to
give them:
The Herald says that we have made
some grave charges which ought to be
investigated. That is good, but there
will be no investigation because those
who, if the charges were not true
would clamor for the proof, know that
they are true, and they will conse-
quently pass them with a holy denial
and by admonishing the people to make
a note of how wicked we are
The complaint and the denial are in.
The presumption of innocence has to be
overcome. The burden of proof, by
right, rests upon the prosecution. Call
your witnesses

GOGDWIN'S RECOLLECTIONS.
Story Of Marx Twain's Advent Into
Journalism.
lOmaha NORTHUMBERLAND

(Omaha w OrlQ-Herdld.)
IF I live to be l 600 years Old said
Judge Goodwin, editor of the Salt Lake
Tribune. to the writer L will never
forget Samuel N. Clemens mark
Twain and my first meeting with him.
l was then editor and publisher of the
Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise Things
were on the boom in that section at that
time. had received a number of stories
signed by Sam NJ. Clemens, and was
somewhat anxious to see my CORE
spondent. One day in the spring of the
year L was sitting in my office grinding
out copy for the Enterprise, when [
heard some one coming up the steps.
The tread was heavy, and L was at
something of a loss TO know who in the
world could be making such racket. l
was not long in suspense, for in a mo-
ment's time a man wearing heavy high
boots, trousers stuffed in the top of
them, with a ponderous hat on his head
and cob pipe in his mouth, stopped
in the middle of the floor, and dropping
a bundle, wrapped up in a red hand
kerchief, on the floor, stared around in
a sort Of dazed or beWildered manner,
drawled OUT in that long way of his:
Dang it, if | don't believe I'm
lousy at the same. time scratching Wig
orously.
My first thought was that I was in
the presence of a lunatic. For a mo-
ment I hardly knew what to say or do.
He was singular looking fellow, rather
tall, slight built and fitted out in regu-
lation mining costume. At last I COL
lected myself and asked him to take a
seat.
Much obliged to you, judge, he said
still scratching himself. My name is
Clemens; want a job. I'm tired of
this mining business. and thought I'd
like d job writing for your paper
"A man was needed the worst way on
the Enterprise staff. but l must say l
was not at all impressed with my appli
cant. l knew he could write funny
stories, for 1 had published a number
Of them, but had no idea he had ever
had any practical experience-in short,
/ did net like the mans looks and man
ner. But needing help the worst way [
entertained him and practically en-
gagged him. Next morning he came
around, dressed up. boots BACKED,
shaver and presenting an all-around
genteel appearance. l need tell no more.
Samuel M. Clemens worked q long time
On the Enterprise, and when there was
no news. ground out many Of the rich
est and brightest yarns ever printed in
a western paper. What need l say
more? The Enterprise leaped into
fame; the paper was quoted far and
wide, and ere long my lousy friend was
famous. He went east. and the name
of Mark Twain is a household word, not
only in America, but in Europe. 1
haven't seen him for long time, but
/ have file of the Enterprise, and it =
rich reading even unto this day. Why
even the simple news items are bristhng
with pith and dash that does my soul
good even thirty-five years after to
read them"

TO JUDGES POWERS AND KING.

A word with you. The 1OSth ballot
has been taken by the joint assembly
without an election. Neither of you has
one-half the number of votes you
started out with. Both of you together
do not poll one-fourth of the Demo-
cratic vote of the joint assembly.
Just consider for one moment this
significant fact.
Gentlemen, you are Democrats. The
Democratic party has honored and con-
fided in you. AS an organization it has
been particularly kind to you. Judge
King You are under some obligation
to the Democracy of Utah for the hon
ors it has heaped upon you and for the
recognition it has given you.
Do you realize the injury you are do
ing the party by standing in the way of
q Democratic caucus where Democratic
differences may be adjusted in the
proper manner, by an open ballot and
a two-thirds vote, if you prefer?
Do you, gentlemen, deny the right of
a majority TO rule?
Have you no other purpose in your
candidacy and refusal to caucus than
10 maintain deadlock?
Lock at the vote, gentlemen. After
los ballots have been taken, you, Judge
King, have seven; and you, Judge
Powers, have three votes.
1t ought to convince you, as it has
satisfied the public. that you are mere
ly standing in the way of an election.
when neither of you has half the votes
you had at the beginning, when both Of
you together have fewer than has either
of the Republican candidates.
The Democratic party does not de-
serve defeat at your hands, Judge King
1t has exalted you too much for you to
hesitate another moment between your
personal feelings and its success.
And you, Judge Powers, you have al
ways claimed to work unselfshly for
the good of the cause. You are not now
sustaining a record of that kind.
No Democrat can afford to play the
part of a dog in the manager, to hold
votes that mean nothing but opposition,
TO deny the right of majority to con-
troll, to decline to caucus because of
such denial.
No man is a Democrat at heart if he
refuse to abide by majority rule. You
have said so time and again.
Why do you not counsel immediate.
definite and decisive action by party
caucus?
Remember, gentlemen, that the party
is greater than either of you; that the
election of a Democrat by the present
legislature has been demanded by the
people
The people are tired of this protract-
ed contest. It is hindering legislation.
1t is injuring the party. If either of
YOU had as many votes as Republican
candidates are polling every day we
should hesitate about asking this of
you
But, gentlemen. both of you together
haven't sufficient votes to add to those
of either Republican candidate and
equal the strength of the leading can
didate Of your own party.
Then why do you hesitate? Why not
yield to a party caucus at once?
