"Christ has risen from the dead,

Then they chanted psalm and hymn
In the temple vast and dim,
And they sang their aIleluhias for His
birth.

Our Lord has burst His prison,
For the Christ they crucficd has 'scaped
the tomb
The lilies, as in prayer
Breathed their blessings on the air,
And the astral tapers glimmered through
the gloom.
A mother, meek and lowly,
Knelt in prayer devout and holy
While the anthems of "good tidings"
rose and fell:
But her eyes were wet with tears

And she heard the ceaseless tolling of q
knell.

Her stricken heart and sad 7

And her son has not arisen from the

As result OF the war with Spain and
the campaigning now going on in the
Philippines, the pension question is again
coming to the front, and 1t is estimated
that the expenditures for pensions during
the current year will not fall short Of
$3.50, ,0OO, 900, sum twice as great as that
paid by any other nation In the world, and
exceeding the cost OF the standing armies
Of Europe. It is observed that great
many men earnestly advocating pension
reform fought during the civil war in the
Federal army. These old soldiers insist
that no pensions should be paid out Of the
national treasury except to veterans who
are needy and deserving, and one Of them
in letter to the Springfield, Mass, Re-
publican, urges his comrades to exert their
influence in securing the passage by Con-
gress of an act limiting pensions to those
veterans whose income does not exceed
5000 . year. Such nm act would
prevent men getting on the pension roll
who are able to support themselves. The
Atlanta Journal expresses the opinion that
the expenditures for pensions will be in
creased another million dollars in the near
future. II says:
ION top Of the $3.50, ,0O0, 900 a year al
ready paid for pensions will be piled mil
lions more for pensions TO veterans of the

1t is impossible to conceive anything
more abhorrent to Jeffersonian Democracy
than the idea Of a country ruled in all its
industrial activities by o few gigantic com
binations Of capital. Thomas Jefferson
would have felt infinitely more at home in
an empire ruled politically by an absolute
Gar, but with individual freedom in com
merce and industry, than in nominal
republic whose people were dependent for
their livelihood upon the will Of few mo-
nopolists. The individual would be more
truly free under such Czar than under
such a republic.
Democracy and private trusts cannot
live together. BY the very constitution Of
their natures they are irreconcilable en-
emies. II the trusts cannot be destroyed,
Democracy will have to master them and
turn them into public servants. The out

Gold Finds in the Orient,

From the San Francisco Chronicle
Russians engaged in building the new
forts at Port Arthur lately came upon
rich veins of free gold, and now Russia
Is making careful investigation of the
mineral resources of the whole Liaot-
ong peninsula. The region is one which
physically resembles the southern part
of this state, and is ridged with noun
tains of sheer quartz rock, stone of
which all the native houses are built
Inc presence of gold has long been
known, but owing to the exactions of
the mandarins no one dared to develop
1t, except one small community Of
priests near Talien- wan, who protected
a shaft which led to pay rock by pre-
tending that it sheltered a dragon of
peculiarly vicious tastes. The secret
was discovered by Japanese military
officer in 1894 Undoubtedly if the Jap
anese had kept the Liaotong teninsu-
la they would. have prospected it thor
oughly, but their diplomatic expulsion
left the uncovered riches of the mines
to fortunate rivals.
What is true of the Liaotong peninsu-
la in the matter of auriferous wealth
is probably true of all the mountainous
districts of China and Korea. The lat
ter country is developing new gold
mines all the time, particularly in the
region of Tong Haks. Korea looks like
Utah, Nevada and California do. In
past ages gold has been found in the
central and southern mountain ranges
of China, but there, as in the neighbor-
hood of Port Arthur and Talien-wan,
the few who knew enough to prospect
for it intelligently always stood in
deadly fear of the squeeze of the pro-
vincial or district governor.
Not the least among the advantages
of Chinese partition will be the develop
ment of the mineral riches of the whole
empire of China. We would not be
surprised at all If under such stimulus
the gold producing center of the world
would eventually shift to the Orient
and attract an enormous capital there
for investment from the West. And
what is to be predicted of China APP
plies with equal suggestiveness to
Korea. which must also pass very soon

BUTTE ECL|PSES EN- ALL
Men Marvel at the Development

HOW Mr.. WINS VIEWS 1T
A Salt Lake Editors Expressions Con-
corning the Big Camp-He Also
Talks About the Salt Palace
of His Town.

e. G. WINS, for many years city edi-
tor of the Salt Lake Herald and one of
utah's most successful newspaper men,
arrived in Butte yesterday for few
days visit. Mr.. WINS, though he has
lived many years in the West and is
acquainted with most of the noted min
ing camps, had never seen the greatest
of them all, and accordingly when he
decided to take rest from newspaper
making he concluded to pay a visit to
Butte. He was shown some of the
sights yesterday and was astounded by
what he saw.
Il thought 1 had seen something of
mining" said he last evening. but the
marvellous development here eclipses
anything I have ever seem"
Speaking of matters in Zion, Mr.
WINS said: salt Lake is expecting an
unusually large number of visitors from
Butte and other Montana points the
coming summer, and Furthermore Salt
Lake is preparing to give her visitors
something unusual in the way of en-
tertainment. The salt palace project is
about the most novel affair our citizens
have ever taken up and it has now
reached the point where the whole I'M
dertaking is assured. When left home
about 100000 had been subscribed and
the list was growing.
THE plan is to erect big structure
on 10-acre park owned by the city
This building will be encrusted with salt
and will be very beautiful affair,
while the cost will be comparatively
light. While the salt palace will, of
course, be the central attraction, there
will be great many other features,
the whole going to make up a novel eX-
position. The exact date for opening
has not been definitely settled but it
will be before the 1st of July. Then,
later in the season, will be the state
exposition-the first held in several
years, and for which the legislature has
made a generous appropriation. These
affairs, with the lake attractions, will
make Salt Lake an especially inviting
city for visitors this summer and fall.
THE state at large is enjoying a big
revival of the mining industry. Prop
critics that have long been lying idle
are now being actively operated and
the list of producers added to- while the
prospectors are bringing new districts
to notice. The mining revival is due
chiefly, if not altogether, to the ten
dency of capital that has been tied up
for years to be invested in the devel-
opment"

ing and a second line of hose was car
rled TO the roof. The water pressure
was excellent and in very few min
utes that portion of the building to
which the fire was confined, the east
wing, was literally deluged and, where
as II seemed when the tiremen arrived
that they would do well if they saved
anything, in Is minutes the flames were
under control and in less than half an
hour they We're entirely subdued. Chief
flannery ability to direct was never
better demonstrated and the work of
Assistant Chief Sanger and the men in
carrying out orders was never seen to
better advantage. An evidence of this
is the fact that the damage done dur
ing the brief time the fire ragged will
amount approximately to $1,000. The
damage was chiefly to the building. the
east wing of which will need an entire
new roof, and the interior in
the immediate vicinity of the Hig-
gins apartment was Quilted. The fur
niture and household effects in the
other rooms on the third floor were also
badly damaged by water. The loss is
fully covered by insurance except that
of the dodgers, which is not great. The
building is insured for $4,000. and the
furniture of Miss Anderson for $1,000
The furniture of Landlord Hawkes. is
also fully insured.
The only serious casualty was the
burning of Mr.. Higgins, though there
was one fatality Higgins dog was in
the room when the explosion occurred
and suffocated. so instantaneous was
the spread of the fire about the room.
Higgins was taken to the Sisters hos
pital, where his burns were dressed.
The fire department was only COM
fortably back in quarters when an
alarm came in from box 120 for a fire
at 275 South Main street, where the
Cobban company has a two-story brick
dwelling in course of erection. Con-
tractor Antoine Peterson had fire in
a salamander in the building to dry
out the plaster, which became over
heated and set fire to the floor. The
damage was only nominal.
