eARNIsHMENT AND The LAW.

An appeal to the United States
supreme court in the Titan garnishment
cases is promised by collection
agency of this city, and meanwhile it
threatens TO tie up the wages Of every
debtor on the books Of the agency IN
til a decision can be secured.
Tactics similar to these were en-
ployed so long here under the old law
that the legislature was influenced to
pass an unusually liberal measure in
behalf of laboring men. It exempts
the wages Of the debtor for sixty days
prior to garnishment, which in effect
makes most men proof against execu-
ton SO far as wages are concerned.
While this law is hard on creditors,
the legislature was convinced that the
old law was being abused and many
poor men made to suffer unjustly by
the severity with which collection
agencies pushed their claims. Within
month, The Herald has had its at
tention called to a case where q. boys
wages were threatened with seizure by
a collection agency in payment for the
fathers debt. The collectors had
frightened both the boy and his father
by distortion Of the law, until thew
thought there was no escape from per-
secution except by leaving the city.
Numerous cases have been reported
where extortionata claims were col
lected by methods that were tainted
with perjury blackmail and actual as
sault. Such cases as these were
responsible for the passage of the
present law and it is to be hoped it's
validity viii be sustained. If it can be
proved unjust 20 either creditor or
debtor. it should be >changed, but no
one viii feel regret if the collection
agencies responsible for abuses of the
law are defeated.

POSSIBILITY OF PEACE.

The committee of the international
peace bureau, with headquarters in
Switzerland, has decided 10 make an
appeal TO the twenty-five powers that
signed The Hague treaty, TO bring
about the restoration Of peace in South
Africa. The outcome of such an ap-
peal may be regarded as finally fixing
the real value Of The Hague confer
ence.
There is no quegtion Of the immense
moral force that would De set in mo-
ton by such a combination of powers,
even If they made thel' representations
to Britain in the most pacific form.
No nation, however powerful, would
care TO ignore utterly the weight Of
such a request, and even Britain would
be apt to pay it the Difference of con-
sheraton before rejecting it
It may be assumed, though, from the
course Of European diplomacy in this
war. that the powers will hesitate a
long time before joining in a peace
petition. The bare possibility Of Euro
pean complications that might ensue
is enough to make concerted action
difficult; and the fact that Britain
claims suzerainty over the Transvaal
makes intervention in European eyes
akin to meddHng with the family af-
fairs of Great Britain. 1t is not likely,
therefore, that peace win be consid-
cred by the chief comb&tant until it is
sued for by the Boer republics; and
then it will be followed by the loss of
their independence as nations.

aUNTlNeToN's RAILROAD TALK,

Uncle Coils Huntington, promoter
Of good things for himself. is credited
with an announcement that the South
ern Pacific and the Santa Fe are going
to build a road from Salt Lake paral-
lei to the Short Lines Milford road,
and connecting with the Santa Fe at
Goff station He says, according to
the report, that it viii take about 400
miles Of new road to make the connec-
ton.
Since early days it has been part of
the uncles game TO kill competition
early and often. His system is very
simple. If he can't block the prelim-
mary survey, he starts a parallel sur
vey as a threat to scare his rivals. If
this doesn't secure the desired result.
he waits until his competitor seems
likely to float his enterprise, and then
Uncle Coils announces his intention of
building a parallel road Immediately.
If this, the warm stage of the game,
fails to come his way, he consolidates
or buys out the competitor, If possible.
Ali the schemes for construction to-
ward Los Angeles, no matter wEo the
promoter, lave developed just such d
programme Of opposition. Heretofore,
Mr.. Huntington has succeeded in hold
ing an inquest on the new undertaking
before it had gone very far. His an
nOuncement of Saturday is a sure sign
that he IS really afraid the Utah &
Pacific VIII go through to the coast,
and thinks such talk may deter eastern
fnanciers from backing the work
It is safe TO say, however, that if
the determination has been reached to
complete the extension from Milford
30 some California terminus, neither
the Southern Pacific nor the Santa Fe,
now allied roads, viii be able to pre-
vent it. In any event, Salt Lake is
bound to see a direct line to southern
California before long, and the pros
pect is pleasant, no matter who does
the building.

CHURCHES AND POLITICS.

A majority Of the temperance com
mittee in the Methodist general con-
ference has brought in a report cen
surfing President Mckinley. severely
for his attitude on the subject Of can
teens in the army. The dispatches say
a member Of the Republican national
committee has reached Chicago to urge
q defense of the president in the con-
ference, and that the majority report
viii be fought bitterly on the floor
when it comes up for discussion. The
canteen case arose in the conference
because a law had been passed abolish
ing the sale Of liquor at army posts.
The law met its defeat in the hands of
the attorney general, who practically
Invandated it before it could come into
court. Naturally the temperance peo-
ole were incensed and carried the ques-
lion before the conference because the
president is a Methodist and was sup
posed TO be IN sympathy with the anti
canteen law.
The merits of the law are open to
very serious question. Nearly every
army officer consulted has reported in
favor Of canteens as tending TO sobriety
and good conduct among the troops.
That, however, is not the significant
feature Of the situation in the confer
ence. which is the Introduction Of ma

by purchase from SPAN in 1918 BY
the treaty which settled this transac-
ton the boundaries Of the Louisiana
purchase were fixed anew, and this
time excluded Texas. The country
seems TO have cared little then for
what was afterward recovered at such
bloody cost. Some dissatisfaction with
this alienation Of what had been con-
sidered United States property was
expressed by a congressional resolution
drawn by Henry Clay, but the general
satisfaction in the acquisition Of Flor
ida prevented any effective agitation
OF the matter.
The Missouri Compromise.
About this time arose the excitement
over the application for the admission
or Missouri as slave state. A bill ad-
hitting the state was passed by the
senate, and for years Missouri stood
knocking in vain at the door of the
Union. 1t was the que1tion of slavery
in new form. The unspoken agree
ment which had been regarded from
the beginning TO preserve the equilib-
rum between the slaYehOlling and the
free sections of the Union seemed about
TO be broken. The free states were
gaining rapidly over the south IN popu-
ladOn, and since representation in the
lower house of congress was regulated
! by population, il was evident that they
were likely to control that house. In
the senate the division Of power was
| nearly equal, since each state of what
ever size or population was represented
by two members. But a new slave state,
with two more senators representing
the slave power, would disturb the bal
ance. The difficulty was finally met.
as we have seen. by the coming in of
Maine along With Missouri, together
with the adoption Of the famous Mis-
| souri, compromise, which recognized
slavery in Missouri, but prohibited it
in the Louisiana purchase north of the
southern boundary Of that state, IS de-
grees 80 minutes north. The compro-
mise also taciLly permitted slavery
south of that line. The measure was
conceived in the interest of the south.
and accepted as binding upon the ma
ton by both southern and northern
congressman. By the accepted inter
probation Of the constitution congress
| had no power to interfere with slavery
in a state; by the Missouri compromise
it was established that congress had
power to prohibit slavery in a terri
tory.
From this era dates as a permanent
underlying political force mutual SEN
sltiveness and jealousy between north
and south respecting superiority in fed
| eral councils. Under the compromise
this spirit seemed to be quiescent for a
time, but 1t was only the surface that
! was calm. Mason and Dixon's line
| the boundary separating Pennsylvania
! from the states to the south-had long
/ been accepted as the dividing line be-
tween free and slave territory east of
/ the Mississippi. The great northwest
/ territory, prolific of many powerful
/ states, was dedicated to freedom. If
/ the south was TO f. hold her own she

A HINT To THE SALOONS.

If the Mothers congress had been in
session only ten minutes and passed
but one resolution which appears on its
minutes it would deserve the thanks
of the community. The resolution
reads:
Resolved, That wes the Mothers con-
gress of Utah. appear TO the city fathers
10 enforce the laws and prevent young
girls from entering wine shops, and the
sale OF cigarettes TO minors, that our
families may be protected from the evils
that threaten them.
The city council knows, or ought to
know, that this is not aimed at an
imaginary evil; they must know that
there are saloons in the city, and in
conspicuous places. whose revenue
comes in large part from the debauch-
cry Of young women and the almost
equally criminal debauchery of BOYS by
the sale OF both liquor and cigars.
If these saloon keepers know their
business they win take the intimation
given them in the resolution and con-
fine themselves to legal bounds. And
if they do not do so voluntarily. they
should get the limit Of penalty for plain
disregard of the statutes as well as Of
public opinion.
