VICE SPREADING.

during the New York anti-vice cru
SADIE, attention was called to the fact
that the reform movement. If the In
tention is to make 1t effective, should
be directed against the habits Of the
so-called upper classes, no less than
against the more conspicuous haunts
Of vice. Temperance people became
particularly alarmed at the discovery
that the drink habit is increasing
among the most respectable ladies. II
was found. for Instance, that eighty
per cent OF the ladies that dine at
Delmonlco's consume intoxicating llQ-
uors. The gentle guests at numerous
other fashionable establishments were
then watched. and with similar results.
At some places every lady took some
thing with her meals. Beer. whisky
and cocktails" were In constant de-
mand.
Now, a Chicago paper charges that
rambling Is another vice that -four
Ishes among the ladies OF the upper
circle" The effects OF this passion are
Justly described as destructive OF moral
character. BY II, women are made to
lose interest In their families and
homes. Sometimes II destroys their
virtue. They lose money and place
themselves under obligations TO men of
weak morals, with deplorable results.
II forces them to acts OF dishonesty.
Gambling is bad enough among men,
but It Is infinitely worse among women,
II can be said truly that nation is
not morally lost until the moral stand
ards OF It's women are lowered In the
face OF the enemy. II is chiefly through
the women, that the coming genera
lions receive the qualities that make
them what they are. Somebody has
said that when the Almighty decides

duces into the world great woman
And another has left on record the say
ing. that the fact of greatest import
ance 10 know about a man Is what

prevent the continued agitation which
IS deprecated by the best people here,
Of all parties and persuaslons.
The real cause OF the commissions
into which a number Of our eontempor-
aries have fallen, Is the wilful mis-
representation Of the bin by Salt Lake
papers and special dispatches from
this point They called the measure "a
polygamy bill.' They do so stlll The
papers that comment on It speak Of II
az AN attempt to legallze polygamyi"
as providing that the anti-polygamy
statutes should not be enforced ex-
cept by some member OF the polyga-
mlsts family" as fixing the law 80 that
there should be no prosecution for
polygamy except on complaint OF the
wife" All this is utterly untrue, There
was no change contemplated either in
the penalties or in the manner Of
prosecution for polygamy.
WIN our distant contemporaries
please let that fact penetrate their
craniums, and cease copying the false
hoods published here and sent over the
wire for their deception? And VIII the
editors In New York and California
and other States where there Is no law
against the two otfenses mentioned In
the Evans bill, Just think over the
situation and cease from belaborlng

THOMAS FITCH.

Hon. Tom Fitch has once more
changed his permanent residence,
He has left this city and taken up his
abode In Honolulu. His health was IN
such condition that a change OF climate
WAS necessary. Some OF our contem-
porarles are making a little fun out OF
the distinguished orators latest move
ment. II Is true that the gentleman
has frequently shifted his ground and
changed his spots for home, but he
cannot be accused of doing this politi-
cally. Whatever his ambitions may
have been, he steadily adhered to the
party whose cause he so ably cham
ploned, and was ever ready to did In
spreading its principles and in support
ing Its policies.
Thomas Fitch Is one Of the finest pub
lie speakers the country has produced.
No Republican orator equalled him IN
the recent Utah campaign which won
the State for that party. He IL always
entertaining. his voice Is musical and
resonant, his illustrations apt, his wit
inclsive yet humorous, his appearance
and manner imposing and magnetic
and he never fails to arouse the enthu-
sIasm Of his audience. His ability as a
lawyer is great. and to his able conduct
OF the Abe Majors case the unfortunate
offender owes his present escape from
death more than to any other legal
cause,
Thomas Fitch has always been
friendly to the people Of Utah, and
spoke valiantly In their defense when
It was unpopular TO say a word In their
favor. They ought TO entertain kindly
feelings towards him. and the News
takes pleasure in saying a word Of re-
cognltion OF his worth, and In wishing
him health. good fortune and every
kind of success in his island home on
the Pacific.

EFFICIENT QUARANTINE.

The City OF st. Paul congratulates IL
self on the fact that II has almost es-
capped the so-called smallpox epidemic
that has visited so many other cities.
The Globe asserts that there have been
only four cases among residents OF the
city and that these were in one family,
who contracted the disease from q
person that came from another city. In
other cases. the patients were strangers
who drifted into the city from outside
places OF residence.
This is all the more remarkable, be-
cause Minneapolis has had hundreds OF
cases during the winter. and other
cities Of the State have been quite se-
yerely afflicted. Many OF the lumber
camps are said TO be full OF the dis
ease. Is there anything In the climate
Of St. Paul, or In the sanitary condl-
tions peculiar TO that city, to which
such immunity can be traced?
The Globe tells about the energetic
measures of the local health authors
ties As soon as case OF smallpox Is
discovered, the sufferer is removed TO
the isolation hospital, or strictly quar-
antlned. Then the record Of the pa
tient is looked UP, and every place
where he has been Is fumigated as far
as practicable. Persons with whom he
has come In contact are quarantined
until danger of contagion is past They
are also vacclnated, II not opposed to
that mode OF treatment.
This is direct confirmation OF the
modern position on contagious diseases,
Strict quarantine Is the best preven-
tive. Without that II Is impossible TO
confine such maladies TO limited area,
no matter what nostrums are admin
stered, or surgical operations per-
formed. OF equal Importance are hy-
gienlc measures. Where conditions
favorable to the development Of certain
diseases prevail, these are sure to
break out in several places simultane-
ously, regardless OF isolation Strict
attention to sanitation and rigid en-
forcement Of quarantine are the two
weapons with which modern science
combats diseases They are natures
own remedies.
The expenses OF this mode of treat
ment are not extravaganza. 1t cost ST
Paul only $4,000 to ward off smallpox
for two years, while 1t cost Duluth and
Minneapolis that much In ewmonths,
That sum included the maintenance OF
the pesthouse. and the support Of the
quarantlned families, Health boards
everywhere should be interested In the
results obtained. They should estab-
lIsh a thorough system OF quarantine,
to be put into operation whenever need
ed. They should enlighten the general
public on the questions OF sanitation
for instance in popular lectures on tha'
subject and they should, above ALL
see that hygienic conditions are main
tanned in every community where they
have jurisdiction. II they neglect their
duty In this respect they cannot escape
responsibility for the consequences

PRESIDENT DIAz.
San Francisco Chronicle.

President Diaz Is now II years of age,
but he comes OF hardy and vigorous
stock and may be good for another de-.
cade. The false reports circulated con
corning his mental and physical condi-

PLEASE LOOK AT HOME.

II Is rather amusing to read the COM
ments OF New York and California pa
pers, on the Evans bill and the veto
that killed It. Some Of them seem TO
be awfully shocked at the immortality
OF that measure, and call for Federal
interference In the moral interests OF
the nation. The reason for broad smiles
over these rhapsodes Is the entire alb
sense OF any statutory provisions In
either OF those States, for the punish
ment OF the offenses the prosecution for
which the Evans bill sought to bring
under reasonable regulations.
Neither New York nor California has
any law against the crimes referred to
In the Evans bill. II that measure had
become a law. the Utah statutes would
still have provided the same penalties
as those now standing in our statutes
against polygamy, adultery unlawful
cohabitation and those crimes that are
generally recognized as grossly i'm.
moral The maximum penalty In Utah
against blgamy or polygamy. that Is
marriage by man or woman who has
living and undivorced wife or hus-
band. Is five years Imprisonment. and a
fine OF five hundred dollars. For adul-
terry. three years Imprisonment, For I'M
lawful cohabltation, six months lmprls-
onment and fine Of three hundred
dollars. The Evans bill did not change
these penalties in any particular.
The bill proposed that in cases OF
prosecution for adultery. the complaint
should be made only by the wife or
husband OF the defendant. or by the ia
Their, mother or near relative OF the In
jured person This provision Is now
law in several States OF the Union. No
outcry is raised against II there. But
the mere proposal TO adopt II here,
brought forth a howl from the press,
and New York, California. Nevada, Ar
kansas, New Mexico, North Carolina
and Tennessee, where there is no penal
~ for that crime. are terribly shocked
at this proposed modification, not IN
the Utah law or Ito severe penalty, but
in the manner Of commencing prosecu-
lions.
In the following States the penalty
for that crime ranges from ten dol.
lars to one hundred dollars on conyic-
ton; namely, Maryland. New Jersey
Missouri. Virginia, West Virginia,
Texas and Wyoming. What occasion
for fits Of virtue has either OF these
States against Utah, with her penalty
Of three years Imprisonment Tor this
