PROTECTION.

The position taken by the governors
of Hongkong and Macao that no politi-
calrefugees are to be given up, and that
! If said refugees are accused of crime,
they will have to be tried in the courts
of those two cities, and not be delivered
over to the untender mercies of the
Chinese Yamens, is an eminently prop
er one. Those two governors don't en-
terrain any fears about harboring men,
bers of the reform party and giving Of
Tense to the Empress, fears which trou-
bled one local paper.
Countries like the United States
or Great Britain and her colonies, are
the home of the politically oppressed.
AS long as the refugee obeys the laws
of the country of his asylum he is well
come to discuss his opinions among
his fellow refugees; he can hire hall
and lecture to them; he can start
newspaper and disseminate his views,
and he will be protected. 1t is one of
the produest boasts of Anglo-Saxon
countries that anyone, not a criminal,
is safe upon their shores, and they do
not consider men who advocate political
reform as criminals, no matter whether
the reform is advocated in China,
against the bloody-minded Empress,
against the despotic Russian Car and
his tchin, or against the atrocities Of
Weyler in Cuba or the Philippines.
Everyone who believes in liberty must
feel sympathy towards the Chinese re-
formers. The very fact that their cause
is gloomy and to certain extent des-
perate. should make one admire their
bravery and determination. Oppression
in whatever form makes one sympa-
thize with the oppressed. This is the
view taken by the governors of Macao
and of Hongkong. They are sure to
be supported by their governments, IN
deed, they are probably acting under
instructions

Minister Young's order that after Sep

only inconvenience the hackmen, but it
will be a great nuisance to the general

We are overrun by the rose bugs, and
Professor Koebele discovered a means
of destroying them by innoculating
them with a disease. His experiment
has been largely successful, and the on
ly reason that it has not been COM
pletely successful is that the innocuia-
ton has not been kept up.
M. Duclaux, director of the Pasteur
Institute, describes in the Revue de
Paris a plan for destroying the rats Of
Paris root and branch by means of a
microbe deadly to their race, and at
mails. The scheme has, 1t appears, been
already tried on small scale, with the
appreciation of the Project of the Seine,
and the results of the preliminary skir-
mish have been so encouraging that
wholesale operations against the rats
are announced to take place shortly.
NJ. Duclaux prophesies that if the de-
stroying microbe is disseminated with
proper attention to detail the rats will
be annihilated as completely as were
Mr.. Wells Martians.
This may prove the solution of the
rat question, and The Star would rec
ommend the Board of Health to COM
municate with the directors of the Pas
teur Institute, and find out the further
success of M. Duclaux's experiment,
and then apply it as speedily as posi-

upon the inspectors, whose duty 1t will
be to see that the city is kept clean.
For this purpose there should not only
be paid inspectors, but there should be
commissions offered for volunteers. 1t
would be no trouble for a trustworthy
person to inspect the buildings within
q certain radius of his home, with au-
thority to report to the Board of Health
say once month. This would allow
the paid inspectors the opportunity of
giving greater supervision to smaller
area.
The watching of our ports of entry
depends upon our port physicians, and
the proper carrying out of orders for
fumigating freight. In this there should
be nothing perfunctory or careless. Be
cause we have conquered the plague,
there is no reason why it might not be
introduced again.
AS to the war on rats, highly danger
Gus as they are, we have not made
much progress. The rat guards against
ships should be continued, only that
now the shore will have to be protected
against the ships, as they were used in
the case of the Sydney steamers. But
we must wage war against the rat in
our midst We will never be free from
danger as long as the race exists. We
have tried poison; it was a failure.
Traps do not seem to have done much.
Paris has struck another idea, and II
is one which from our knowledge in
another direction, can commend itself
to us. '-''-

1t is a very unwise thing to attempt

AS TO PUERTO RICO.

Opinions are by no means unanimous
as TO the obligation this country Is un-
der TO Puerto Rico by virtue Of the an
nexatlon Of that Island. There has been
some strong lobbying done for the pur-
pose OF excluding from this country
some OF the most important Puerto
Rican products, but on the other hand.
many Congressman believe that the is
landers should be given all the advan-
tages OF their annexation to this coun-
try. They should have free trade with
this country and enjoy American llber-
ty to the fullest measure. This, II
would seem, Is an Inevitable inference
from the Paris treaty by which the
island was ceded 10 the United States
and accepted as part of the American
Union.
The Chicago Times Herald, which
generally Is well informed on such mat
ters, states that so far as IL has been
able to learn, President Mckinley has
not changed his views on this question,
since he wrote this paragraph In his
message to Congress;
1T must be borne In mind that since
the cession Puerto Rico has been de-
MED the principal markets she has long
enjoyed, and our tariffs have been con-
tinued against her products as when
she was under Spanish sovereignty.
The markets Of the United states
should be opened up TO her products,
our plain duty Is TO abolish all customs
tariffs between the United States and
Puerto Rico and give her products free
access TO our markets
Nothing has happened since last De-
cember to change "our plain duty In
this regard. The Puerto Ricans depend
upon their markets for existence. II
their loyalty to this country is to be re-
wardcd by closing both European and
American avenues Of trade. they must,
indeed, regret the day they welcomed
upon their soil the American hosts. 1t
should need no argument that the
hosting over the island Of the Ameri-
can flag entities the people TO the bene-
fits Of American institutions 1t would
be illogical to treat Puerto Rico differ
ent from Alaska, for instance.

BECOMING INSANE.

A great number Of cases Of insanity
among soldiers seem to be one result Of
the campaign in the Philippines. A few
days ago eleven were sent from the west
coast to Washington, and thirty more
were expected that week. About 25O
insane soldiers have, according to re-
ports, been sent east the last three
months. and II Is said there are 200 more
an the way from Manila.
1t may be that the reason for this Is
that Loneliness and homeslokness in a
tropical country. where there is much
deprivation and suffering and very lit
tie diversion anG entertainment show
their effects in this way. The monotony
Of the soldiers lie in the Philippine jun
giles, particularly during We latter
months. when there has been but little
actual fighting, must have been almost
uneudurable.
But II IL also probable that the higher
civilization and consequent refinement
Of the American people has tendency

the horrors Of warfare. To the simple

WE DECLINE TO DOUBLE"

A short time ago the Deseret News
gave some particulars Of visit to this
city by u person named L. r. Folk
This notice was occasioned by the delv.
cry Of discourse by that individual In
a church in Chattanooga, In which the
Latter-day Saints and their faith were
grossly attacked and misrepresented
This harangue or most Of It, was pub
llshed IN the Chattanooga News in
synopslzed report Of the proceedings
Subsequently. an interview was had
with Elder Ben Il. Rich, which was
also published IN the Chattanooga News
as reply to Mr.. Folk. We received
copies OF the paper containing these re.
ports and also some notes Of the Folk
lecture from a writer who was pres
en-, when 1t was delivered. and We made
some comments thereon.
Mr., Folk came 20 this city ostensibly
TO Inquire into "Mormonlsm," but real.
ly to collect data. chiefly from It's enc.
mics, whorewith TO attack 1t when he
returned TO Tennessee. We therefore
related the facts OF his cali upon Presi.
dent Snow who simply turned him over
90 the editor Of the Deseret News. and
We explained the circumstances and
nature Of the conversation that en-.
sued.
Mr. Folk, who figured here as the cor.
respondent Of the Nashville American,

savage on the Mormon" question, and
although we have already noticed his
effusions that appeared in the Chatta-
nooga News, he sends US a long letter
containing a repetition Of his remarks
with the request that we publish them
IN the Deseret News. AZ the same time
he expresses a doubt as TO our response
and informs Us that he has sent the
same communication TO another paper
here, which is TO publish II n We do not.
As the kind Of pabulum II contains Is
much more suitable TO the columns Of
the other paper than 20 those Of the
Deseret News, we respectfully decline TO

have upon the production Of the letter.

brought about the cruclhxlon Of the

was IN rebellion against the authority
Of imperial Rome that He sought TO as.

held by Caesar. and His followers were
accused Of sedition. The power Of the
