The splendid sun seemed to ding his
rays with especial prodigality upon the
broad, handsome grounds of Mr.. Hugh
Borth this June morning. The blue
waters Of the adjacent sound twinkled
and laughed under his warm kisses. 1t
was a morning when, II seemed, no lv-
ing thing could do otherwise than re-
joice In the mere precious possession OF
life.
And yet Hugh Borth, the owner Of
the beautiful garden, looked anything
but happy. His brow was knitted and
an expression Of extreme discomfort
rendered his attractive features as un-
pleasant as they could well be the while
he dug away viciously, turning over
the soft. rich earth.
Gardening was Mr.. Borth's hobby. A
gentleman gardener, the young Eng
lishman might have been called.
though the dress he wore while at
work was no elegant or fanciful affair.
A faded velveteen coat, corduroy trou-
sers, earth stained canvas leggings and
an old peaked cap composed his attire.
Between his teeth he held . short
brier wood pipe.
The reason Mr.. Borth was angry was
this: He had bought a beautiful es.
tate on the borders Of Long Island
sound. just beyond the limits OF the
metropolis, on his coming to America.
Large as 1t was, 1t was not large
enough for his ambitious ideas. Mr..
Borth coveted, very wrongfully, the
possessions Of his neighbor, one Mar

TWO THOUSAND MORE.

Those Salt Lake ladies who .yester-
day resolved to raise $4,000 more for
the afflicted families at Scofield are en-
gagged in a noble work, and the plan
adopted by them will bring success to
their efforts. They propose to appeal
only to the women OF Salt Lake and
the contributions viii be limited to 81
The proper committees have been
formed and the work of soliciting will
be commenced at once and conducted
in a systematic manner. These ladies
believe that there are 1000 of their sex
in this city who will gladly give 81
each to the widows and orphans, and
they propose TO go out and find those
1900. The donations to the ScofeId
fund have been most liberal and a
generous sum has been raised, but, as
was clearly shown by one lady who at
tended yesterdays meeting, if these
afflicted women and children are To
be placed beyond the danger of want
and distress, it will require a much
greater sum than has been contribu ed.
There is no question but this addi-
tional $1,000 will be raised, for Salt
Lake women have undertaken to raise
it. and Salt Lake women will be asked
to give it. God bless the women!

SALISBURY MEANT IT.

When the startled press on both
sides Of the Atlantic had finished eX-
planning the mental stress under
which Lord Salisbury was evidently
laboring when he gave utterance to his
blazing indiscretion" concerning the
Irish, his chief Heutenants, Mr.. Cham
berlain and Mr.. BaIfour, repeated, with
grea- .deliberatiOn and seriousness, his
charges Of disIoyalty against the Irish
and his declaration of unfriendliness
for their cause.
At the Liberal Union club banquet in
London the other evening, Mr.. Cham
berlain said that the government could
not afford 10 take chances with the
Irish: that the first duty OF the empire
was self-pTOteCUiOn and that he saw lit
tie promise of assurance that ireland
could be trusted now any more than in
the past.
Mr.. Baifour said substantially the
same thing. The significance of it all
is that it illustrates very clearly the
position of the English government; il
shows that Salisbury was not speaking
at random; and explains the high es-
TEEN in which these subject peoples
are held by the superior power" which
holds them unfit for home rule and self
government.

Permitted TO LAND.

The New York Mail and Express
thinks the Boer delegates ought to be
satisfied with being permitted to land
on these free american shores without
expecting anything further.
Perhaps it is right. Perhaps contract
Iaborers ard English mule buyers for
South African consumption are the
only desirabIe class Of foreigners who
come through Castle Garden at pres
ent.
In one editorial paragraph the Mail
and Express tells OF the arrival of {, 6gS
immigrants in one day at the New
York port of entry. 1892 Of whom are
from Italy"
In another paragraph it says:
should the Beer delegates want any
further PROOF that this is a land
of liberty and law they have it in the
fact that they are freely and safely
permitted to come here"
TO be sure. And how kind Of Presi-
dent Mckinley TO permit them TO land!
But it seemed for a while that he was
going to withhold his permission. May
be Salisbury cabled that it was all
right.

NO JURS DICTION.

The supreme court decision just
handed down in the Kentucky suberna-
torial case puts an end to a disgraceful
controversy, sustains the action of the
state courts and reaffirms the well
established rights Of the sovereign
state as guaranteed by the consdtu-
ton
There is no need of any conflict be-
tween the authority of state govern
ment and that OF federal government.
Each is Independent within its pre-
scribed limitations.
1t would be a dangerous centraliza-
ton of power indeed to a..ow the fed
eral government or any branch of it
to step in and decide state elections.
States have sacred rights and among
these is the regulation of their internal
affairs and the selection of officials for
their local government.
In Kentucky for over a century the
question of disputed gOvernOrship has
been one for the legislative assembly
to decide. 1t recently decided that Goe-
bel was the legally elected governor.
It's right to do so was upheld by the
state courts. Had the supreme court
of the nation Overruled the state courts
it would have amounted to a denial OF
the right of a state to enact its own
laws for the regulation of its own
state elections.
Consequently, the refusal of the court
to act because it has no jurisdiction is
a reaffirmation of the constitutional
doctrine of state sovereignty in state
affairs
