OPPOSED TO A NEW CIRCUIT.

Salt Lake lawyers do not seem to be
fav0rably impressed with the demand
for new circuit court of appeals for
the intermountain states A commit
tee of five was selected some time ago
to prepare a report for the bar 10 act
upon, and while a majority Of the
committee reported fayorably. a de-
cided majority Of the members of the
bar present at the meeting to hear and
act upon the report. voted against the
proposal to create a tenth circuit
The reasons assigned for the move
ment were that the circuit which now
includes Utah is overburdened with
work; that litigation in the federal
courts is unnecessarily expensive under
the present arrangement, and that spe-
cial attention to mining and irrigation
questions is necessary in this section
of the country.
The opposition was based on a fear
that. in the event of a new circuit being
created, an inferior judge with a polit-
seal pull might be appointed, and at
torneys would rather travel a greater
distance and feel reasonably sure of
an intelligent hearing than to take
chances with the appointing power at
Washington.
The manner in which this power has
been exercised by President Mckinley
apparently has not impressed members
Of the Salt Lake bar very fsvorably.

lis that Irishmen should bend the
knee and bow the head before the Eng

There are thousands of Irish veterans

Now. says the Mail and Express, a
new problem has been presented to
the Republican national committee:
at present there are in Washington
several well known citizens Of the

and they are anxious to know what
political rights the citizens of the

Among the preparations of the Eng
lish for their present war was the exJ
ploration Of the Transvaal, by which
maps Of the country were secured for
each of the commanders. As the Beers
met their foes half way, and as maps
of Natal and Cape Colony were not
deemed necessary the English officers
have very inadequate knowledge of
the topography Of the territory upon
which the fighting is carried on. 1t is
said thar the French war Office made
the same mistake in 1870 by furnishing
excellent maps Of Germany, but neg
leeting French territory on which the
war was waged. When the British get
over into the Transvaal they may do
better, unless they lose the maps in the
meantime.

Philippines for $50, 100000 in which Mr.
Mckinley told the Filipincs, in effect,
that they would have to surrender uncon-
dit0nally to our sovereignty or be blown
off the face Of the earth. This prOclama-
ton seemed to General Otis not only very
premature. as it did to ., great many
others, but as calculated to enrage. the
FIlipinOs and precipitate the war which
had not then begun-as it undoubtedly
did. And so he set to work upon the
presidents proclamation, erasing a hard
word here and putting in a softer word
there, until he had made a quite different
thing. Then ne gave it out
