THE TRUST QUESTION.


The San Francisco Chronicle thinks
there may be no United Steel Com
pany' after all, because the very idea
Of billion dollar trust scares the peo-
pie. as well as the managers Of the
mammoth concern. Withsuch an organ
izatlon completed, there would be an
immense pressure from investors for
dividends, and II IL feared that these
Mt times would be uncertain as no
trust. although In n position to raise
prices. could compel people to buy.
With higher prices, consumption would
fall OFF to the limit Of absolute neoes-
stiles.
There are other reasons why capital
lists may hesitate before they carry con-
solidation 10 that extreme Every new
trust formed is hailed with exultatlon
by those who are laboring for a new So
clal order Of things. These urge that.
as trusts multiply and are consolidated
into ever narrowing circles, the time
viii come when n few men control
every industry from the making OF a
needle TO the running OF a locomotive.
They win control iron, OIL copper, salt.
and everything. They win exalt their
friends and crush their opponents.
Then. the socialists argue. the people
win rise and do many things they do
not now think Of doing. They will seize
the industrial plants, the lines OF COM
municatlon. and other branches OF ac-
tivity. because they win be forced to do
so for self protection, and operate them
Tor the common benefit. This is the
prediction. Capitalists may possibly see
such an outcome II continual concen-
tratlon and doubt the wisdom OF the
present course. The money power al.
though sometimes called almighty. is
but limited The power OF the people
is greater and u a real struggle Is
forced there can be no doubt Of the
outcome.
The present conflict In the Industrial
and social world cannot but remind an
observer OF events, Of the fact that, over
half a century ago It was anticipated
that such a condition would arise, The
remedy was also given. through the in
splred servants OF the Almighty. who
ainestly sought to lay the foundation
FOR unity ana universal brotherhood, IN
temporal as In spiritual affairs, on the
basis, we may say, Of taith, hope. and
charity For that was and is, the very
aim u "Mormonism," considered as an
ethical system The acceptance Of that
system would have saved the numerous
conflicts that have been waged between
the different so-called classes, and the
perhaps greater struggles yet to come.
For in that system the questions at is
sue can find the true solution.
In another great national question.

was manifold the price that might have
been paid Tor them. had the nation de-
oided 10 settle that controversy by
peaceful means. as suggested by the
Prophet Joseph. The trust question, 1t
Is feared, may some day assume ire
mendous proportions and cause new
convulslons In the nations. Why not

questions involved In the spirit OF fair
ness and patriotism?

II Is the last week of Congress. II

predecessor, chiefly because II has had
no part in bringing on a war with any

HoAxING THE PUBLIC,

on Saturday evening the News
printed an announcement that Mrs
Nation, the Kansas saloon smasher In
tended to make trip TO the Pacific
coast. and on her way would pay visit
to her cousin in Ogden. aud deliver a
lecture there. The story was sent by
telephone from the Junction city by
our regular correspondent, and that Is
why II appeared In this paper.
He states that before sending II he
obtained verihcation from public
officer in ogden, and therefore felt per-
feet confidence in telephonng the
news. It Is now claimed that the
same officer has been trying, for several
days, to work up this hoax upon the
public. 1t was not at all improbable
that the notorious agitator would make
the Journey announced. and therefore
our correspondent was easily imposed
upon by the police officer who seems
to aspire to the position Of a practical
joker and has thus demonstrated his
fitness for the role Of endman In a
minstrel show, or clown In circus,
rather than a detective In the public
service. Some peoples sense Of humor
is so exquisite that they are unable to
discriminate between bit Of fun for
private hilarity, and deliberate piece
OF deception which violates the pro-
prIeties and that common decency
which should preserve the public from
false information, especially through
public officers. 1t is not very likely
that In future our correspondent In og-
den Will depend for information as TO
current matters. upon the word OF q
detective who takes pleasure In hoax
i'm the public.

END or THE WAR IN VIEW.

The latest advlccs from South Africa
are 10 the effect that Gen. Dewet Is
about ready 10 surrender, and that the
Beers generally have come TO the end Of
their resources II these reports are
confirmed, the war there cannot last
much longer For although Gen,
Botha the other day was reported as
having lntlmated that the Burghers
would fight until only 800 Of them were
left, II Is evident that the surrender
Of Dewet would practically end the con-
flict II may be necessary, though, to
await further word from the seat Of
war before any conclusion as to the
situation Is formed. From the begin
ming Of the unequal fight, there has
been no doubt what the final outcome
would be. The surprise Is that the
Beers have been able to hold out so
long.
The dispatches have It that there Is
some doubt IN the mind of Gen. Kitch-
ener whether Dewet. should be treated
az rebel, or a prisoner Of war. There
should be no doubt as to that Dewet
has never sworn allegiance to Great
Britain. The proclamation OF annexa-
ton by the British government did not
make him. or his followers, rebels a
state OF war In Africa was proclaimed
by England shortly after the com
mencement OF hostilitles, so that by all
rules of warfare, and by every con-
slderatlon OF the demands OF humanity
Dewet, when he surrenders, VIII be
prisoner OF war and entitled to the best
treatment. II would be great mistake
to take revenge on the gallant leaders
Of lost cause, because they nave

ANOTHER SHOOTING.

From North Topeka, Kas., comes
word OF another shooting, as result OK
midnight raid upon a saloon. This
time the victim Is one Of the raiders,
and his injury may prove fatal
This is logical consequence Of the
methods adopted by the followers OF
Mrs. Nation. The disregard Of law and
the recourse 10 brute force necessarily
works both ways. The killing OF wo-
man at Wildwood, and the shooting OF
'reformer" at North Topeka should
be warnings TO the leader OF the
strange reform movement. to deslst
from further law breaking and to seek
the accomplishment Of her purposes by
means that can be endorsed by the de-
cent and law-abiding element Of the
community.
The Ratchet method OF reform has
been tried before and has failed, About

and although they were finally acqult-
ted their warfare did not lessen the
evil against which they went on the
warpath. Mrs. Nation will meet with
no better success. As n reformer she
viii fail unless she changes the Ratchet
for the more potent weapons Of intelli-
genie and civilization.
The Kansas reformer was reported to
contemplate q trip TO Utah, She had
better bury the Ratchet first. She would
probably find many here willing to lis
ten to whatever she may have TO say
on the evils OF inebriety. The temper
ance movement has more sympathlzers
here than perhaps anywhere In the
country But the people Of Utah are
law-abidlng at the same time. They
believe In the ballot but not IN riot.

THE RUSSIAN TARIFF LAW.
New York Evening Post.


The vital point I'M the Russian tariff

ment. Is whether the Russian govern
ment is actually paying a bounty on
exports OF sugar. II seems to us, so
far as the facts have been diclosed,
that we have too hastily assumed the
existence Of such bounty. There Is
no good reason to believe that Russia
has made our action on the sugar ques-
ton a pretext for additional protection
20 her own iron and steel manufactures.
She needs no pretext for that purpose,
Moreover, the exclusion OF our Iron and
steel does not protect her manufactures

unity, than that Of our mole distant

Russia will either restore the duties on

A short time ago Mrs. Lilly. who
lives on the west side OF Gravel Hill,
and whose husband works every night,
was aroused from her slumbers by some
one shaking her front door Thinking
II WAS a neighbor who had sick child,
she called her by name and went down
stairs with the intention OF opening the
door. but not getting a reply to her
query. she hesitated about it. Again
the door was wrenched by the person
outside. Failing in the effort to burst
the door open the man went to the
back yard and was getting ladder
from the roof OF an oatbuilding when
Mrs. Lilly, who was W atching his
movements, shot at him and frighten
ed him away. She put in night in
terrible suspense, and when morning
came she was almost prostrated. A few
evenings later Mrs. Lilly went out to
call on neighbor and locked the
house securely except window in the
rear, which was left open for yentil-
alton. When she came home some per-
son had entered the house and rum
mayed 1t from top TO bottom. Moth
ing Of value was taken, except her
:rusty revolver and all the doors were
unlocked. The citizens are almost
afraid to leave their homes in the
evening.
