A GIGANTIC TRUST,
Bradslreet.a. New York.

Accustomed 0s the public now Is TO
arrangements between banking ana
corporate Interests involving scores OF
millions OF capital, the magnitude OF
the deal Just announced concerning the
principal holdings OF stock IN the car
negle steel company IS calculated 70
create feelings akin to amazement. IL
had been understood that negotiations
had been on foot between Messrs. An
drew Carnegie and j. Perpont Morgan,
the latter representing other steel
manufacturing companies, but II was
with more or less surprise that both
the general public and the financial
world heard the news at the beginning
of the week that the formers interest
IN the company bearing his name was
TO be disposed Of TO Mr. Morgan and his
associates. The conclusion which was
most generally accepted was that the
arrangement In question would be fol-
lowed by a plan 10 consolidate the car
negie properties with the Federal Steel,
American Steel and Wire, and National
Steel companies, resulting In new

ployed In such matters, representing a
capital OF no less than SlOOOOOO' 0OO

company will prove an obstacle to the
scheme have been expressed (Mr Car

AS TO DEBATES.


We have received the thanks OF stu
dents and others connected with our
State University for the remarks OF the
News" In reference 10 n Mock con
venton" held some time ago at that In
stltution. We are assured that the
whole arrangement was educational In
It's purpose, and that Il was carried out
with order and decorum. and proved
valuable piece Of training in the man
ner Of conducting election affairs, from
the caucus up 10 the voting ana the
making OF the returns, II was perfect
ly carried out In every particular. and
was both entertaining and Instructive.
The question OF the proprlety OF per-
hitting debates In our educational es-
adjustments II an old one. on which
different Views are honestly held. II
appears TO US that the matter can be
safely left to the discretion OF the prln-
eipals OF those institutions They are
men Of experience and judgment. and
know far better than persons not con-
nected with educational concerns what
is for the best advantage Of the stu
dents. OF course the boards and trus-
tees who have the oversight OF them
should also have something to say on
the subject
Debates conducted under competent
direction 10 bring out both sides of a
public question, not for polemical strife
or mastery, may be productive Of good
results. II depends upon the motive Of
the cisputants and the spirit they act
in. Respect for an adversary, argument
without invectlve, the avoidance Of all
personalities, addresses invariably to be
made to the chair and no attacks on or
replies to individuals, should be rules
rIgldly enforced, or III feelings may be
engendered and the truth and the right
be lost sight of In wrangllng and con-
tentlon. We have thought frequently
that much time and oratory are wasted,
in debates upon questions that have no
profit IN their determination Schools
copy after each other as to this. II a
discussion is permitted at all. It should
be on something that VIII give light,
and establish some principle or promote
some practical and pralseworthy object.
Contention ought never TO be permit
ted under any circumstances But re-
spectful expressions OF opinion for the
purpose of holding up truth are not to
be classed as contentious. and may be,
at proper times and under proper SUI
pervlsion, productive Of material bene-
ut. 4 iGi2lE

no MORE BOARDS.

There appears to be a movement on
foot TO revive the old police and IRE
muddles. The people Of this city re-
member with chagrin the scandals arls-
Ing from the so-called non-partlsan
board that was finally abolished II Is
proposed now to have a police board
and a fire board. separate concerns, for
the management Of those departments
Of the civic service.
We have no doubt that the projectors
OF this revival mean well and that their
motives are good But we are Of the
opinion that there are already too many
boards in power in this state They need
cutting down Instead Of multiplying.
The powers Of government bestowed
upon the county commissioners, town
councils ana city councils, are ample
In their respective spheres, without
creating boards to exercise functions
In conflict with them, and TO make con-
fusion and clotho with insufferable au-
lhority presumptuous and arrogant
petty officials.
We do not say that persons Of that
sort would necessarily Gll the positions
designed on the boards Of fire and OF
police But the establishment OF those
needless boards would render that pos
sble, and the people are sick of the
assumption OF boards already existing,
and do not want their number In
creased.
In a city OF the size OF Salt Lake,
there Is no need Of any other municipal
organizations than those comprehended
In the city council, with the mayor and
regularly elected and appointed OFF,
cials, and II every board outside Of
them was abolished, II would be better
for the public service and the public
peace,

A FRENCH CANARD.

A Paris dispatch to the New York
World and also to the Chicago Chron-
Gle carries the annexed canard.
"a Mormon sect has Just been dis
covered IN Paris with temple In
private house. Among the male mem
bers are sixteen owning lfty-eight
wives. One man has seven, with Just
one child each. Another has three wives
with sixteen children All Paris Nor
mons are respectable industrious cti-
zens.
Although the authorities have been
Informed OF this, II Is said that no
prosecution Is Intended the marriages
being strictly religious, with no clyil
formallty the extra wives being viewed
by the state as concublnes whose chill
dren, however. can be legitlmatiZed
without entailing marriage with the
mothers"
That bit OF fiction VIII doubtless 20
the rounds Of the press, Some papers
will publish II with malicious intent,
some In a spirit Of POPULARITY others in
ignorance Of the truth and believing
that there is something in It. The use
made Of II by anti "Mormons' will be,
TO show that polygamy is still taught
and practlsed by the "Mormons," not.
withstandlng the assurances that have
been given TO the contrary.
The truth is. there Is no such branch
OF the Church In Paris as the dispatch
would indicate. That may be set down
rs q positive fact. n there were an
organization OF the Church in Paris.
polygamy would not be permitted there
In. nor would II be taught even in
theory. 1t is forbidden here as else
where. II Is not only contrary to statu-
tory enactment In Utah, but to the
counsel and instruction Of the Church
authorities.
In the times when plural marriage
was taught. and practlsed to some eN.
tent in Utah, Il was not permitted
abroad. There never was. In any OF
the foreign missions, such an organi-
cation as that described in the Paris
dispatch. No member Of the Church
abroad was permitted TO marry more
than one wife, the first being alive and
undlyorced. The practice was limited
20 the Church at home; that Is, to Utah
and the regions Immediately adjoining
Since the admission Of this State into
the Union, plural marriage has entirely
ceased In the Church. This is well
known by people who are posted on
Mormon" affairs. and what Is left Of
polygamous institutions here, consists
merely Of the relations existing between
plural families established many years
ago. These are gradually passing
away as the partiea die. and there Is
little II any excuse for the noise that
uniformed or eyil.minded persons stir
up to make an improbable sensation.
The story from Paris was probably
started from some case Of blgamy re.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

The superstition that an extra SESSION
OF Congress will be called. for the pur-
pose OF considering the Cuban constltu-
ton as soon as that document shall
have been completed, IL now very gem
orally taken for granted. 1t Is consld-
cred necessary for the reason that this
country has obligations to fulfill toward
the Cubans. Of such a nature, that the
national representatives alone are COM
petent TO devise ways and means there
for To free Cuba and leave the Gu
bans TO paddle their own canoe would
appear simple enough But II II not
considered desirable that the new re-
public should be led into alliances or
international relations that may at
some future time be n menace to the
peace of this country, as the turbulent
conditions under Spanish rule were
permanent menace to peace, and injury
to our commerce. How to establish the
Cuban republic upon safe basis, both
financially and politically, and TO do
that without woundIng the patriotic
feelings Of the Cubans, Is the problem

Is thought, to warrant an extra session
The Cuban problem ls, In some re-
spects similar to that presented by the
so-called eastern question in Europe.
Had II not been for the difficulty Of
finding a satisfactory solution Of the
question Of what to do with the lIberat-
ed peoples now under Turkish rule, the
European powers would long ago have
sent the Turks back to their Aslatic
homes. But that would have meant q
European war, and so the Turk was
permitted to remain and abuse his pow
err. The United States took another
course This country turned back the
Turks Of this hemisphere, across the
ocean. and now the question remains
how to prevent the evacuated coun-
tries from becoming a subject Of strife
and perpetual menace to peace, That
American craftsmanship In addition to
Cuban patriotism, Is needed for the ac-
complIshment OF this end, must be ad-
mltted by all.
Extra sessions OF Congress are not
