Ample APOLOGY,

A hereditary rivalry exists between
the Black Watch and the Rifle bri-
gade, and it Is a menace to the peace
of these two regiments to be stationed
in the same town. A soldier of the
Black Watch at theater, in passing a
private of the Rifle brigade, stepped
heavily and perhaps Intentionally upon
the foot OF the latter. Up sprang the
rifeman. You stepped on my foot!"

the rich regions along the well-water-
ed Niger.
However, the oft-Quoted report that
France wishes to make the Sahara fer
tile by admitting sea water to great
central lake is denied. and this denial
is supported by the assertion that the
desert lies from 1000 to 1.500 feet
above the sea. What is intended is to
increase the size of the oases by care
full canal building and conservation of
the water. No land is more fertile
than these long narrow ribbons Of

Is ruddy, rather than bronzed, in spite
of the fact that they live within fve

been supreme in that part OF Africa
for 100 years or more, driving tho black
tribes before them wherever they

among them by travellers is feet 10A

physically, and are regarded as dan

TRAITORS as cRlTERloNs.

The New York World pleads with
the people of the east to abandon sjl-
yer, as it was abandoned by western
congressman elected on silver platforms
and representing mining camp con-
stituencies."
The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser says it is encouraging to find
former advocates of bimetallism in
Colorado, Utah and Idaho returning to
the gold standard, as Senators Shoup
and WolcOtt have done"
The World SAYS again that eastern
Democrats should drop silver because
western Republicans have killed it. By
way of explanation it says:
The Republican party is united IN favor
Of sound money for the first time IN its
history. The gold standard bill passed the
senate finally by majority o. eighteen.
Every Republican senator save one FOted
for it-incluotng eleven from the mining
camp and other far western states that
have hitherto been the main dependence
OF the free silver movement.
Every representative of the Repub7
liean party, not matter whence hs
comes or who he represents, no diff
ference what pledges ne made to Sc
cure votes or what he believes TO be for
the best interests Of his constituency,
he may be counted on from this time
forth to do as those eleven western
senators did-to line up with the ad-
ministration and support every gold
bug measure the money powers pro-
pose.

TRUSTS AND OFFICIALS.

a Republican newspaper says that
the only legislation against trusts liz
the United States statute books was
placed there by Republicans.
Another says that 'in Utah the only
laws againet trusts were put on the
statute books by the Republicans"
And that reminds US Of what Hanna
said in the last Ohio state convention,
as reported by a staff correspondent of
the New York Tribune:
Put anything in the platform you
please about trusts; we don't care how
much you denounce them or legislate
against them, 80 long as we can name
the attorney general"
In that convention were two fac
tiOns. The Hanna faction controlled,
but made a concession to the Foraker
faction. You can name any candidate
you please for any office except that of
attorney general" said the great trust
politician.
Foraker replied that he had no de-
sire to name any other but would like
to see the then incumbent of that Office
renominated."
Owing to the fact that the attorney
general was trying to enforce one Of
those Republican laws against trusts"
he was turned down and out and a
trust attorney was installed in his place
at the risk of a party split; for it was
considered Of more Importance to stand
in with the trusts than to appease a
faction.
It is the same jr the nation. Attor-
ney General Griggs was given a place
in McKinley's cabinet at the request of
the trusts of New Jersey, that incu-
batOr of unlawful combines many Of
which he represented in professional
capacity. He now represents them all
in an official capacity.
The same condition exists in Utah. It
is the duty Of the secretary Of the state
to irIaugurate proceedings against
trusts doing business in the common
wealth. But lhe secretary Of the state
is James T. Hammond. who believes
that trusts are good things for the
country.
Before Republicans boast Of their
antitrust legislation they should make
an examination of the manner in which
Republican officials are enforcing anti
trust laws.

Mr.. Collier has put plenty Of excellent

weakest. There are several places in
it where it seemed for a moment that
the interest was quite thin, but Collier $

the audience laughing until the last

As may be surmised, Collier is the
central figure of the performance, al

WHO CAN ANSWER THEM7


Hon. George Sutherland is said to be
making an able and exhaustive defense
Of the Porto Rican tariff bill-in other
words. he is able 20 exhaust his aud
fence by trying to prove that this bill
for tariff is better than the Presidents
recommendation Of free trade for Porto
Rico.
Republican orators would better
hurry up with their arguments on this
question, as a Republican congress is
liable to adopt Senator Beveridge's
free trade amendment before they get
the people thoroughly convinced that
the tariff is a good thing.
While George is on this subject, how
ever, it would be interesting to record
his answers to the following questions
from the Chicago Inter Ocean, a rock
ribbed Republican journal:
Why should we treat the Pacific islands
zuoO miles from our coast, as American
territory, and treat Porto Rico, not LOGO
miles from our coast, as foreign territory?
why should We discriminate thus IN de-
fiance of all precedent. practice, PROMISES
ana the constitution OF the United
The New York Mail and Express
takes them UP, gives them up as hard
to answer. passes them up to the presi-
dent, and wants to know what the
administration can say to place itself
Alright before the American public"
But Mr.. Sutherland can answer them.
l. he can't he may pass them up to the
- local Republican organ, which says that
it's only objection to the Porto Rican
tariff bill is ''the opportunity it gives
the blathersRites to offer criticisms"
BY "blatherskites" it doubtless means
ex-Presi leIt Harrison, General Lew
Wallace an several hundred Kepub-
Ecan editors and speakers who oppose
the bill.
Governor Mount, the Republican chief
executive OF Indiana, also asks a ques-
ton or two which MIR. Sutherland or
the Salt Lake mouthpiece OF Mark
Hanna might try to answer:
If Porto Rico is a part Of the United
States, why should we frame a tariff
bill for that island any more than for
any other territory of the United States?
If we must have a separate tariff bill
for Porto Rico. why rot for Hawaii the
Philippines and other Of our territory
lulS NOulQ result III complications, ana IS.
l think. not in harmony with the conSti-
tutiOR Of the United States.
Ex-Attorney General Miller Of Harri-
sons cabinet takes this view Of the
Porto Rican question:
Porto Rico is just as much a part Of the
United States as is New Mexico or the
District of Columbia. There is no more
right, under the constitution. 10 discrim-
mate in the tariff against one than
against the other. I1Ving taken the peo-
pie of Porto Rico ul.si er our flag under the
pretense of phtlanthrODic interest in their
welfare. the attempt to discriminate
against them is the worst sort Of politics
and the worst sort of morality. 1t Will fully
justify what President Schurman has said
that it viii make truthful the charge of
Imperialism made against the Republican
party by the Democracy.
Whn George gets these questions
answered it win be- time to come to
breakfast.

or for those whose time is limited; yet
the sink is not absolutely essential, and
one may get along with much less elab-
crate preparation by using one pail TO
contain fresh water and another for
waste water, and having an extra tray
or two for washing.
AS a matter OF fact, a room to be
used exclusively as dark room is not
necessary. This is especially so if we
do our darkroom work at night. The
bath room or the kitchen make good
places, on account of the supply Of run
ming water, though any convenient
room may be used.
1t is advisable in our dark room to
have plenty of shelf accommodation
for storing negatives, chemicals, trays
and other accessories. Behind the
shelves fasten sheets Of white paper.
This will enable you to see the articles
much better in the dim light Of the
dark room.
Now as 10 utensils required. There
is. first, the light. If there is a win
dow with a shelf outside to hold a
