A FEW MISTAKES.


The 81. Paul Pioneer Press, which on
ordinary subjects is a live and well
conducted paper, almost invariably goes
OF wrong on questions relating to Utah,
particularly In reference TO anything

decision Of the Supreme court OF Utah
In che Graham case. the Pioneer Press
concludes:
This decision was rendered in over
throwing the verdict Of a lower court
In the case OF a Mormon indicted and
found guilty on undisputed evidence In
the county where the poygamous wife
lived. Every week adds To the indica-
tlons that the Mormon authorities. les
islotlve, executive and judicial. are bent
ON rendering Of no effect the constitu-
tlonal and statutory prohibitions Of
polygamy."
There are q few mistakes in this par
ngraph. which show how profound ls

the question before the court, and the
state Of affairs in Utah. The errors are

WHOSE WAS THE FAULT

Now that Aguinaldo has been cap.
tured ana the disturbances In the Phil
lppines may be considered very nearly
ended, It is interesting to notice the
fact that the most searching inquiry
into the circumstances that led 10 hos
Titles between Americans and natives
confirms the assertions so often made,
that the blame for the trouble is en-
tlrely on the side Of the FilipInos The
Philippine Information Society has ex
omlned an the documents and other
evidence available, bearing on that
point, and the conclusions reached are
ndsputable. They find that the imme-
date cause Of the outbreak was that
four armed natives were trespasslng
upon territory admitted to be under
the jurisdiction Of the Americans The
indications. however, are that the lead
ers Of the revolt had planned an at
tack to take place later and that these
four men merely preclpltated a fight
that had already been decided on by
their commanders.
The evidence further goes 70 prove
that the Americans previous to this
incident had acted with so much for
bearance and patience that the Flllpl-
nos thought they were afraid Of them
and that they consequently would
have an easy victory Under this belief
they grew more and more insolent m
nally the conflict came and the insu;
gents learned their mistake too late.
II appears. then. that the insurrec.
ton, which has cost so many precious
lives was mainly due 10 a msundei
standing, The Filipino chiefs put

acts and motives. They made It APP

that If they had known American pow.

taught is that American rule means

A "CHRISTIAN" ENDEA VOR,
According to New York papers.

According to New York papers,
"a new crusade against polygamy Is
to be started here as soon as necessary
arrangements can be made. and an IN
ternational Council OF Women VIII be
held on April |, at 1856 Fifth avenue,
where plans and schemes viii be formu-
lated and great movement got under

the gentlemen Of Utah. II the Mormons

the holding OF the council they are

Society folks would say It must be
a very generous and Christian" spirit,
that prompts movement to make life
unhappy for the gentlemen OF Utah"
Did il ever strike the meddllng minds
Of the women who engage In that kind
Of occupation, that this would also
make life unhappy" for the ladies' as
well as the gentlemen who are thus TO
be proceeded against? II any Of the
women Of Utah who can be affected by
such movements desire to be separated
from their family associations, the
way Is open and easy for them without
any outside aid or interference. But
the hysterlcal retormers Of the East do
not understand. and viii not be truly

therefore they make reckless plunges In

very class OF people who are the most
likely to speak from the mind Of preju-

RUssIA's MISSION.

Professor Frederick G. Wright, Of
OberIn College, during his recent re-
searches In Central Asia formed his
own conclusions relative to the people
inhabitlng those regions, one Of these
is that in his opinion, II is important
for civilization, that Russia, and not
China or Japan, should triumph in
northern Asia, In Russia, he thinks
there Is much democracy mixed with
the autocracy. and for this reason it is
better that Russia become the pre-
dominant power
This but confirms the general Inn
preston that Russia, though far be-
mind the European civilization, is so
much ahead Of Asiatic conditions that
she may be looked upon as the connect
ing link between the two. In the mir
"a sort Of city council--and the numer-
Gus brotherhoods. the Russians have
the foundation OF popular government
True enough these organizations are
not now democratic II measured by
western standards OF democracy. They
are generally dominated by one inhu-
entail person, but they may become
such, whenever education shall become
more general. and the individuality OF
the members Of those bodies asserts IT,
self. The often recurring movements
throughout the empire are proof enough
that popular consciousness Is awaken
ing, perhaps as fast as the safety Of
the nation permits,
In many parts Of Asiatic Turkey Rus
STA Is looked to as the future liberator,
and this is another confirmation of the
position Of Prof. Wright. that the Ash
attic nations need the domination or
that country for their further develop
ment. Neither Greece nor Rome an

has been able to make any noteworthy
impression upon those nations. 1t may
be the mission OF the slay to elevate
them to the point where modern civil
lzation can reach them.
