four bridges, one a county bridge, and
the other three railroad bridges tax
Ing from the city the three large trunk
lines. These bridges are all that coD-
meet the island with the mainland, and
it is certain that they have been
swept entirely awsy.

In this country.
The cause Of lawessness IN this and

Century club, Boston. lie said In part:

As to how this appeal to the religious
instinct should be made. and by whom,
there may be wide difference OF opinion.
But there can be no doubt that morality
without a religious basis Is unsubstan-
tial as the sound Of brass, or the tlnk-
ling Of a cymbal Its glory Is that Of
the soap bubble which, however delight
full, bursts and is no more.

NOT SUCH ANONYMOUS CHANGE

Many comments have been made by
the American press. and by leading
pollticlans in both the great parties, re-
specting the alleged wonderful change
in the Utah vote as recorded by the
returns TO the recent general election
They always refer to the vote in favor
Of Bryan here in 1896. and figure on the
wonderful difference between his plu-
rality Of 5l,03S four years ago, and Nc
Klnleys OF 2,1iO this year.
They seem to be ignorant Of the fact
that Utah, being then what is called
silver State, the great mass Of voters
Republicans. Democrats and Populists'
cast their ballots for Bryan as the
representative Of the silver cause
Since that time there has been a gradu'
al return OF the silver Republicans to
the regular Republican party This
has been manifest In other elections
The special election for Congressman to
I'M the vacancy, last March, gave
plurality Of only 4.247 to the Democratic
candidate, Notwithstanding his person
al popularity. Many Republicans voted
for him on that occasion There was
no particular national interest then In
yolyed. II was contest between two
respected gentlemen for the honor and
the seat.
The result this year should not, then,
be set against that Of four years ago,
but be compared to the returns OF a
few months ago, We do not care to
20 into the question Of the causes that
led to the change in the popular vote
in this state; they were numerous, and
all contributed to the general result.
But they were natural and were, In
most respects, similar to those that
swayed the minds OF citizens in other
parts OF the country turning Demo-
cratic into Republican majorities or
pluraIltles, and reducing materially the
Democratic and Popullst majorIties
IN several states.
All we desire at this time to point
out is the error Of taking the returns Of
an election in which voters Of the three
parties united on a special occasion, by
way OF contrast to the results Of the
recent election, when their issues were
each In force and their votes we're cast
for their own party principles and can
dldates. There was no such wonderful
turnover as statesmen and editors
comment upon but simply a change
that viii compare in many respects,
with the difference OF votes IN other
localities, where the policy Of the pres
emit administration received endorse
ment, or where the fear Of a change
had It's effect upon many thousands Of
the people OF this country.

COMMERCIAL INTEGRITY.

a practical business man. Mr.. ], w.
Morton. who has over thirty years OF
experience, In an article in the Inter-
national Journal Of Ethics. takes the
view that commercial integrity Is high
er today than ever before. This should
be comforting to those who fail to see
any moral progress, and his reasoning
is Of general interest He says In part:
In former years, when the average
house did a small business and when
competition was not as great as II Is
now, there was an opportunity for de-
Celt and disreputabe methods to be 20

there was irregularty, and customers
OF the same class could be charged diff
ferent prices and those prices kept

tanned were an invitation for deceit In
defending them, The retail stores pur-
sued the same practice they charged
what they could get, and the favored
clerk was the one who could by the
smoothness OF his tongue get the most
exorbitant prices. These conditions
have an changed and can never prevail
again This Is proved by the fact that
the largest concerns and the ones most

CONDITION OF THE FILIPINos

The President IN his message to Con-
gress stated that the pacihcation OF
the Philippine rebels was progressing
fayorably. and that the opposition TO
our forces was mostly by scattered
bands obeylng no concerted strategic

This view seems amply sustained by

The Boston Transcript some time ago

The capture Of DeWetsdorf indicates

The difficulty Of running down the

when IL Is stated that the area Of Brit

II Is not easy 10 see IN what way the
Beers hope 70 profit by manoeuyers OF
this kind. They can, OF course, harass
their enemy. but the effort must entail
an exhaustion Of supplies which cannot
be easily replaced, and, when the mu-
nitions Of war are practically used up,
this form Of warfare, carried on by re-
latlvely large bodies OF men, viii. Of
necessity, come 10 an end. The cap
ture OF 400 prisoners Is a brilliant eX-
plot. but we should suppose that It's
brlllancy would not compensate Tor
the embarrassment which the care Of
this body OF dependents would throw
upon the victorious army.
