Saturday viii 60 down in history as
che most devastating storm that ever
visited North America. When the
number and prominence Of les VIC
Tins and the great loss to property
are considered, che Chenere. Caminada
and Last Island storms, were .insigni-
fcant disasters compared to it. TO
appreciate in The fullest the misery
that has followed in the wake Of this
centurys greatest storm, one has to
visit the section where the fury of
the elements vas at its zenith, and
see for himself the ~disordersd piles Of
debris that mark the spots where
happy homes once stood, and the
manglsd corpses Of the occupants Of
these homes, that like sea-weed are
strewn ever the once beautiful island
On which the Inflated city Of Calves
ton was built. Mothers clinging yet
in death to their poor dead babies !
Fathers happy a few hours before
now bit cold and lifeless figures
stretched upon the sand; or worst,
still, living to realize that those who
were most near and dear had been
snatchsd from him lby the combined
forces Of the wind and the tide, when
no such catastrophe was dream't Of,
and while the future seemed tinted
with the golden hue of happiness I
Desolation where prosperity and CON
tentment had reigned, aobs but a few
hours before merry laughter had
greeted the advance breezes of the
approaching storm; men and women
crazed with grief seeking for the
faces or forms Of loved ones that will
never again be illumined by the lamp
Of earthly life. The curtain Of time
has never been rung down on a sadder
or more heart-rending scene, than
now greets a visitor to the desolate
city Of Galveston.
No historian will ever be able to
relate the full chapter of the lGalves-
ton horror; nor will 1t ever be known,
how many lives we're lost during the
mad rush Of the wind and waves. It
Is estimated that fully five thousand
persons met death during the storm
but there might have been six thous-
and or seven thousand. No one
knows, and the general opinion here
is that no n viii ever know.
The Galveston disaster has 50
wrought up the people Of Houston,
(msny of whom lost relatives who
resided in that city,, that they have
not given the destructive work Of the
stOrmin this city as much consider
alton as would have been the case had.
not the situation here been over
ahadOWed by the Galveston affair.
The storm wrought fearful disfgur-
alton to Houston. Never, in its his
tory, have its residents experienced
such a blow as last Saturday night.
There are few houses that escaped
entirely. Nearly every building had
some damage inflicted on it. Agreat
number, including some fine structures
we're destroyed. Hundreds were par
tially wrecked, and nearly every build
ing came in for its share of the dam
age Every street is covered with
debris from the buildings and trees;
great Oak trees are lying across
streets Of yards Of Che residences:
telegraph poles, telephone poles, and
electric light poles lwere snapped in

SLAUGHTER OF "BRIaANDs.

The Deseret News refers fiippantly
to the destruction of ignorant island
ers in the Philippines as if conquest
and religion were one and the same
thing. 1t says:
The Manila dispatches call attention to
the TACT that the past week was one of
great losses to the Filipino brigandS. It
seems the Americans rendered incapable
OF further depredatiOns no less than 1000
of that class, while their own losses were
only nine killed and sixteen $xounded.
Was that the kind of missionary
work Christ taught his disciples to do?
These natives are on their own soil,
fighting under a mistaken notion of
American intentions, which is not cor
rected by the blood thirsty utterances
of imperialists in this country. As Cen
eral Wheeler SAYS. they are naturally
and excusedly suspicious of foreigners;
their experience for 500 years has made
them So But when it is remembered
that all this bloodshed might have been
avoided by the exercise of a little tact,
or stopped at any time by an assur-
ance similar to that given the Cubans,
one must wonder at the satisfaction
some people find in the wholesale
slaughter of these "benighted beings"

country that we have to send human
sacrifices in exchange for Asiatic ter
ritory, why should we hold out induce
nlents to the Beers to come to this
country, and why should whitelaw
Reds great newspaper endorse it?
There is something about imperialists
hard to fathom, and something about
imperialism under a popular form of
government too complicated to I'M
ravel.
But the Beers are not yet van
pushed. They are pretty well located
in South Africa, and may be harder
to evict than Irish tenants are. How
ever, superior numbers and illimitable
resources will tell in the end, since
craven powers sit idly by to see these
patriots butchered for their lands. And
while the Tribune endorses the butch
cry and hopes Tor English success, it
is generous enough to add: 1T is well
enough, however, to let them know
that Uncle Sans front door is wide
open if they ever want to come, and
that all Of their kind who have tried
the experiment have prospered."

MlLITARIsM in GERMANY.

1.-THE trial and conviction of DIR. Ziel
and a number OF young men and their
fathers in Berlin, Germany, recently
for attempting to evade the military
Consumption law, draw attention to an
interesting state of affairs in the
Fatherland." says the New York Com
merciaI Advertiser. one Of the ablest
advocates of militarism now shouting
for McKinley's reelection.
There are thousands of Germans in
this country whose presence here is a
protest against the compulsory mill
tary laws of Germany. A strong senti-
ment is growing up against it there.
The people know the evil of It. They
wonder at a country so free from mill
tarism as this republic has always been,
involving itself in policies which mean
the encouragement of militarism.
Large standing armies have to be
kept up either by compulsory service or
by CONSUMPTION, which amounts to the
same thing. No wonder Americans of
German birth are almost unanimous in
opposition to the colonial policy of the
administration. No wonder foreign
born citizens generally are expressing
their disapprovaI of imperialism in the
land to which they came to escape the
evils of such q system.

READY FOR THE TEST.

The American people are ready for
any test. They are ready to decide
whether it is right for the United
States to enter upon a career of con-
quest or not; whether this government
is to finish a work of subjugation be-
gun by Spain or net; whether the
strong has the right to say what is best
for the weak. as George III undertook
to say for the colonists who rebelled
against his government: whether it is
patriotism to ignore the constitution
and shout for the flag, TO spurn the
substance and Shrek for the symbol;
TO force a government, however SUI
perior, upon an unwilling people:
whether or not slavery can be upheld
by presidential agreement in territory
subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States government; whether or not a
campaign of corruption and coercion
can win again when employed by the
same aggregation that used it in 1896;
whether or not a party that is dOmin-
ated by London bankers and corporate
interests can succeed repeatedly;
whether or not newspapers that have
taken both sides of every public oues-
ton can lead them astray in the COM
ing campaign.
The. American people are ready for
the question, whichever is put.

STAMP TAX INJUSTICE.

Calling attention to the fact that the
revenues Of the nation are 5000, 900 a
year more than the expenses, the news
papers Of the country are urging the
repeal of the stamp tax. The demand
comes from Republican and Democratic
sources alike and there has been no
public objection to the suggestion.
The stamp taxes, ostensibly meant to
fall on wealth, have in reality been paid
altogether by those who could least
afford to pay the act itself was framed
so that the railroads, express compan-
les and telegraph companies have COM
PEELED their patrons to pay for the
stamps used on bills of lading, receipts
and kilograms. although when the bill
was presented it was supposed the cor
poratiOns would bear this expense.
Waving any question as to the need
for revenue from this source, the tax
has been made odiOus by its injustice
Whether il is repealed or not, its dis
elimination in favor of corporate
wealth is a standing indictment of the
party that enacted it into law. 1t can
not be repealed too soon.

SOCIETY NOTES,

Yesterday was Shakespeare day at
the Reviewers club. 1t was the ami
verSary of the great poets birth, and
the occasion was appropriately hOnOred
by the members. 1t was also the forty
third anniversary of the marriage Of
Mrs J. c. ROyle, the clubs president,
who was the hostess Of the afternoon,
and who entertained the club members
and a few guests in a most delightful
manner
The address of the afternoon was
given by Miss Dukes, who spent last
summer in England She told in a
most entertaining manner of her visit
to Shakespeare home and her travels
through the British Isles. Mrs. Kelsey
read an original poem dedicated to
Mrs. ROyle.
The rooms were prettily decorated
with flowers, and as souvenirs the
guests were given punches of sweet
peas and mignOnette, to which were
fastened quotations from Shakespeare.
Among the guests was Mrs. Coulter,
president of the State Federation.
During the afternoon the club select
ed Mrs. A. c. Ewing as delegate to the
biennial. This little club, which has
only eighteen members, will possibly
have three representatives at Mil
waukee. Mrs c. D. Moore. who goes
as a state delegate, chances to be a
member of the Reviewers, and it is
expected that Mrs. J. c. ROyle, the
clubs president, who is honorary vice
president Of the National Federation.
will also be present. so that with Mrs.
Ewing. the club delegate, the Review
ers will doubtless be brought into
prominence at the biennial in June.

In case federal irrigation were at
tempted under the present administra-
ton. corruption would attend the good
work, as it leaves its finger marks upon
everything attempted where the ex-
penditure of large sums of money is
involved. Hence the local Republican
organs query is pertinent when it
asks: How long before our contem-
porary would discover a job to enrich
some Of Mark Hanna's folIowers?" Not
long, perhaps. For, as the Tribune has
aDtly and repeatedly said, they are IAN
aggregation Of thieves and rascally
contractors" But they can't pilfer any
more in this irrigation scheme than
they are pilfering in their military
scheme, and in the reclamation of the
west they may be able to do some good
with their rascality. They are not do
ing this in the new system of colon
ialism.

The TEXAS FLOODS.

TIE vortex of the storm to which our
neighbOr refers was at and above Austin.
Tex, and there is no connection there
with the streams of western Texas and
New Mexico.-Tribune.
The Storm Starter may be an au-
thority on storms, but its knowledge
of Texas geography is a trife wind
shaken. The Colorado river, by which
Austin was partially submerged this
spring; the Concho, it's chief tributary,
and all the little feeders at the source
rise in western Texas along the New
Mexican line. In fact, most of the
floods and freshets have their origin in
clOudbursts on the arid plateau and
fill the rivers from the dry washes or
gullies which seam the Llano Esta-
cadO, as every man who has ridden the
Texas range and seen the country
knows. SO the point which our con-
temporary tries to make in favor of
abandoning the arid west in order to
reclaim Oceanica is not we'll taken.

1t is surprising to note how thor
Oughly Senator Hoar and the Salt Lake
Tribune agree on the question of Phil
ippine retention. Both have admitted
that we don't want these Asiatic 'peo-
pies; both have declared that we are
honor bound as a nation to give them
the independence promised the Cubans;
both contend that the forcible reten-
ton Of 100000 of unwilling and unde-
sirable people would be injurious to this
government, unwise and un-American.
Yet they are united in support of Nc

sometimes be seen in water when the
waves are reflected from a smooth
rock or the planks of pier or a ship.
Such an action as this taking place
within the film produces planes of max
imum light
action and places of minimum action

The emulsion will be acted upon at the
planes of greatest motion and not at
all at the planes of no motion. There
will, therefore, be strata Of metallic

There are two other methods of color
photography more recent and some
what more direct than the three-cOlor
process. These are the interference of
Lippmann and the diffraction method
invented by Wood.
Lippmann's Interference Method.
In this method two things are neces-
sary-a transparent Photographic film
not granular in structure and a met
allie mirror. Suppose that the film is
in direct contact with the mirror and
that a beam of light of a single color,
that it, q. single wave length, fall upon
it. The light passes through the film,
strikes the mirror and a train of waves
is sent back through the film. These re-
flected waves meet the Oncoming di-
rect waves and the result is the estab-
liShment Of what are called station
airy" or standing waves, such as may
be seen when a tight string is vibrat-
ing violently as a whole or in equal
parts. At certain points the direct and
the reflected wave urge the string in
the same direction and the result is a
motion which is the sum of the two:
at points midway between these points
of greatest motion the direct and the
reflected wave urge the string in OPP

there will be as many as 500 of these
layers Of deposited silver.
If instead of light of a single color
the colored image formed by lens
falls upon the sensitive film and mir
rOr, the result will be a distribution
throughout the film of layers differ
emily spaced at each point in accord
ance with the color.
Seeing the Image.
When white light is allowed to fall
upon plate obtained in this way. it
is reflected at each of the planes with
in the film and interference takes
place in such a way that the light of
the particular color which formed the
planes is strengthened and all other
colors are diminished. 1t is the same
action which gives color to a soap bub-
bic. Part Of the light is reflected at
the first surface, part goes through
and is reflected at the next and joins
wave reflected at the first. AS the
extra distance Travelled is an exact
multiple of the wave-length Of the
color that produced the layers, the
light of that particular color in each
OF the reflected waves will be in the
same part of a vibration and the color
will be strengthened. For light of any
other color the two reflected waves will
be in different parts of a vibration
when they join again and will there
fore be partly or wholly destroyed.
If there were only two planes, the
selective Strengthening Of the reflected
light of one wave length would not be
marked But, as there are hundreds of
planes, one after another. the final re-
suit is that practically only light of
one coior-the color that produced the
planes at that point-emerges from the
film.

Utah is teaching the industrial arts
to many states. From distant locaii-
ties offers have come TO farmers of
beet-raising communities to go and
teach the culture OF sugar beets. Now
comes a request from Nebraska for a
Utah farmer to go and show the people
how to get the best results from irri-
cation. Utah seems to be doing quite
a missionary work in the field of ag-
riculture, as well as in other lines
