ENGLaND's WAR LOAN.

The Springfield Republican. speaking
OF the new British war loan, says that
at the close OF the Napoleonic wars
England's national debt amounted 10
A5OO, 100000. This was reduced during
forty years by s2S4Ooo,OOo, but then
the Crlmean war was fought, and sl65,-
600 OOO0 600 had to be borrowed on that
account At the outbreak of the South
African troubles the Indebtedness was
In the nelghborhood OF 81, 40, 600, 900, the
total reduction OF the debt In 81 years
being about s1,3SO,0OOOOO The present
military operations have necessitated
war loans to the amount Of 5000 100000,
That Is to say, the war with two In
significant republics IN remote cor
ner Of the earth has, in couple OF
years, cost the mightlest empire in the
world about half of what 1t has been
able to save In almost q century. What
lesson is this against the national
craving for glory on the battlefield
What n demonstration of the urgent
need Of some more rational means OF
settling international difficulties! In
dlyduals sometimes squander fortunes
In few moments round a gambling
table. and are then regarded as slaves
OF vice. But how about nations that
ruin themselves, to save" their hon
orr"
Great Britain is a wealthy nation,
and can afford 10 spend a billion dol
lars that way, but all the
same, the burden viii rest heav-
lily on the taxpayer, The loan
Of $500 100000 has been subscribed five
times over, and the part Of 1t that is
allotted to American subscribers win
also be taken up quickly because there
Is unlimited confidence in the British
resources. But the common people will
be required to pay for this confidence
and sooner or later It win dawn upon
them that war in this age Is too ex-
pensIve, even for wealthy nations
The struggle which is costing Great
Britain so vast sums Of money and
so many lives, invites q comparison
with the last contest between Greece
and Turkey, in which the former coun-
try was completely subdued In a few
weeks, throwing itself at the mercy OF
Europe for the continuation OF its ma
tional independence, And Europe in
terfered If Greece was deemed worthy
OF further existence as a sovereign
state, after the exhibition OF national
weakness the Orange Free state at
least should be worthy Of existence,
after such q tremendous effort. A little
nation that can exhibit such vitality
cannot be morally corrupt nor far be-
hind in civilization, The moral stami-
ma and physical endurance OF those Az
rioan peasants. should render them
worthy of the position Of standard
bearers of civilization, In the part OF
the dark continent in which their lot
has been cast.

MATRIMONIAL LOTTERY.

There Is a great deal of talk, In the
press Of the country at the present
time, OF the necessity Of legislation for
the regulation of divorces. The sub
iect is one Of much Importance The
divorce business Is rapidly becoming
disgrace TO the country and biotch
upon our advanced civilization.
But among the first measures neces-
sary for Graduating the evil complained
Of, is one by which correct knowledge
may be universally dlffused as to the
real nature and signlhcation Of mar
rage, II the union Of man and wo-
man is no more than a civil contract,
II is difficult TO understand why its an
nuiment should be the subject Of SO
nlch anxiety and discussion
That there is much need OF a better
understanding OF the duties AMI re-
sponsibilities involved In marriage ap-
pears from the manner in which the
contracts too often are made. Only the
other day. an enterprisng New Yorker
called at a newspaper office and said
that he wanted TO rattle himself off at
s. a chance. He wanted TO marry and
at the same time secure enough money
to start the practice Of medicine The
contest would be open TO all white wo-
men not over thirty, and physically
sound. and he firmly believed that he
could sell between 1000 and 1900 tick
es.
This way Of selling oneself Is. we
presume, strictly original, But as rich
women have set a precedent in buying
husbands and titles, poor women can
not be blamed, If they take a chance

with perfect stoicism the growing habit
In western countries Of specializing In
the matrimonial market, more shame
fully than was ever done by oriental
dealers in youth and beauty.
Civilization has drlfted away from
the first principles, in this important
matter. our conceptions OF marriage
are becoming more and more pagan.
Heathenism is laying hold upon the
very foundations upon which our So
eial institutions rest. That is the
true cause OF the growing immortality,
one form Of which appears in hastily
contracted personal unions. and the
breaking Of VOWS that should be kept
sacred. We're marriages more fre-
quenuy contracted in the fear Of the
Lord, there would be fewer divorces.

ABOUT AGUINALDo.

Strange to say, some Of our contem-
porarles in this country seem unable

ture Of Agunado and the course he
has taken They even endeavor to
make II appear that his address to his
people Is Of no account, because It was
not written by him and was signed un-
der compuson-an inslnuation which
is as mean as It Is without foundation
in fact.
The truth about Agulnaldo seems to
be, that he, since his capture, has acted
In a straightforward and open man
ner, making the best OF the situation.
He has endeayored to learn something
about American institutions and meth
oda and seems pleased with both. That
he did not take that course previous
to the commencement OF hostilitles has
cost him and his followers dearly--es-
pecially his followers That was his
great and deplcGable mistake. But If
be now sees the errors Of his ways,
generosity can afford to apply in his
case the old adage, better late than
never"
The proclamation itself bears evil
dence that 1t is an expression of the
true sentiment of the captive, even II
the words and sentences are put to-
gether by another. He speaks very
little Of himself and OF the supposed
consequences to the Filipino cause OF
his capture. He speaks at length of
the new light he has received, and
makes the strong point that in his view
American sovereignty VIII better serve
the interests Of the country than ma
tive rule.
If It Is objected that the insurgent
chief must have experienced a sudden
change Of heart, TO speak like this, it
is sufficient to reply that In all proba-
bility AguInaldo has gradually arrived
at this conviction, in his experiences
with the Americans during the last
year, He has seen their irresistible
courage on the battle field, their gem
erosity as conquerors, their wisdom and
regard for the rights Of others, In the
arrangement OF civil government and
appointments 70 offices. The views
expressed in his manifesto must be the
result Of a contemplation OF these
things for long time, and there is no
doubt Of his sincerity when he ex.
presses his conviction that the Filipino
cause has no chance OF success through
InsuTecton.
Agunado's complete self-surrender
should be hailed with satisfaction by
all friends Of the inhabitants Of the re.
mote Islands 1t will be followed IN
due time by orderly conditions, From
the first Il has been the understanding
that as soon as the insurgents were
willing to lay down their arms, the
American people would be prepared to
listen to the suggestions, or even de-
mands Of the Filipinos. That time
cannot now be far off, and the era of
peace and prosperity will commence
with the friendly negotiations and dis
cussions Of matters OF mutual interest.

As TO "FREAKs."

The Dcseret News Of Thursday even
ing contained a very pleasant notice OF
the visit to this city Of x-Secretary
George A. Black, and mentioned some
"reminiscences Of his career during his
residence in Utah. The Tribune this
morning states that this was done
"sneerIngy," and talks of freak
demonstration and the -defying
element" and winds up by calling the
News" a freak" That is Of course
the Tribune's pleasant and logical
method Of meeting fact which It does
not like, and contemporary which
# vanly tries to 'muz2e or kill"

t3ria page, gives its own account of
the very circumstances which appear to

curious and funny kind of combination.
The "Wooden-gun rebellion" on July
T. 1871, was a humorous incident in
Utah history and the fasco brought
about by the then executive, was al
most as ridiculous as the Tribune's
present endeavor to revive the nom
sense about 'law-defying element" fig
urlng with wooden guns and tin whis-
Ties and the calling out Of troops to
quell that reasonable uprising on
the Fourth of Julyl
AS to the freak question" It would
be a good idea for some friend of the

EQUALITY or THE SEXES.

We have been requested to explain
the status Of women in Utah, In refer
ence to the right to vote and hold Of
fee and serve on juries In response
we win say that under the Constitu-
ton Of this State the political rights
Of the sexes are equal. It is provided
therein that
THE rights of citizens Of the State OF
Utah TO vote and hold Office shah not be
denied or abridged on account OF sex.
Both male and female citizens OF this
State shall enjoy equally all civil, pro-
litlcal and religious rights and prlvll-
eyes.
This is sufficiently explicit for all
practical purposes But there are quail
fcauons required Of both sexes alike.
for voting and holding office which
need to be explained in order that the
subject may be fully understood. For
voting each citizen must be twenty-one
years Of age or upwards, have been a
citizen ninety days. and have been a

county four months, and In the precinct
sixty days next preceding any election

2ens are exempt They are not dis

"a female citizen is classed in the same

AS to the principle involved, We do
not care to say anything In this con-

II is supposed that the good sense of

offices women are specially adapted for,
and what they should not be chosen or

equal before the law, and their rights
are secured by the Constitution OF the
