Ii has been several years since we

scr Suess, OF Austria. Although a geo.

THE HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION.

The Board OF Education took wise
step In accepting the prompt offer Of
Governor Wells on behalf Of the State
land board rendering the use OF the
old University buildings for the High
school. The disastrous fire and ex-
plosion which destroyed so much valu-
able property. damaged the building In
which the High school was held so
that an adjournment was necessltated
II appears that the ten years lease
of the property contained a provision
for Its cancellation, in case OF fire des-
troying the premises in whole or In
part. There have been many objec-
tons to the long lease OF the building,
which Ia not considered fully suitable
for the purpose, Whether those COM
plants are well founded or not We are
unable TO decide. But the Board Of
Education win now have the oppor-
tunity 10 settle the question. OF a re-
turn 10 those premises or a permanent

We find in the columns Of morning
contemporary. which advocates the an
nexation policy, an argument for the
purchase OF these Islands for the sum
OF 81. 49,, 900. this being "the amount ex-
pended by Denmark on account OF the
Islands since the time when, on account
OF the collapse Of their sugar indus

In other words, we are to relieve Den

THAT BAPTIST RESOLUTION.

According to reports which have been
published, the Baptlsts In convention at
Provo. Utah, passed a resolution, urg-
ing Congress to adopt tho anti-poly-
gamy amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States, which has been for
some time agitated by religious people,
under the false impression that poly
gamous marriages are common In this
State. The resolution was passed In
haste near the close Of the session II
caused some inquiry and Its adoption
was largely due TO the statement re-
ported TO have been made by one ]. C..
Andrews, OF Murray. 10 the effect that
The had been told by persons who had
reliable information, that one OF the
Apostles had recently taken an addi-
tional wife and probably some Of the
Provo people knew OF other cases,
II Is on just such groundless rumors
that hasty people base conclusions,
which suit their disordered fancy and
harmonire with their biased desires.
Somebody told somebody else. who told
the Murray preacher who told the Bap-
list convention a story that is utterly
false, and so that body passed resolu-
tion which makes all It's members APP
pear like lot OF dolts or irrational
Eealots. Think Of the argument, too,
that perhaps some Of the people OF Pro-
70 may know OF other cases, like that
originating In rumor and repeated by
clerical seandal-mongerl
The convention was addressed during
one OF Its sessions by the moderator,
on the text; "Are we asleep" He
might well descant on that query, for
the resolution adopted has the oharao-
teristics OF an idle dream. "The growth
OF polygamy through our western
states" which II speaks OF, IL either a
wild hallucination OF q wilful perver-
Sion OF the truth, There is no such
growth, on the contrary. there is less
OF II In these western states by far
than In the Eastern states. and every
Informed person knows that what q
left of It here is growing less and less
every year.
IL Is strange that these religious as
semblies will expose their ignorance or
their mendaoity, whenever there is an
opportunity to touch on anything re-
lating TO the "MOrmonn Church. But
II Is fact that all the fierce hostility
resulting in mobocracy and murder,a ar
son and assault, against the Church
OF Jesus Christ OF Latter-day Saints,
has originated from similar sources 10
this latest ebuilitlon OF the Baptist con.
veniion. Woe unto the hypocrltes and
hirelings who bear false witness against
their nelghbors for rotributlon win
overtake them as sure as that truth viii

THE DANISH WEST INDIES.
Baltimore sun.


II is quite probable that the govern
ment OF Denmark, as reported In as
patch from Copenhagen, is willing 70
sell the Danish West Indies to the
United States. Denmark has been ready
for many years to part with these de-
Tendencies, provided that the money
consideration rendered In exchange for
the transfer OF title Is sufficient II Is
understood that the government OF the
United States has for several years
been prepared to pay a sum not exceed
ing s40O0,00O for the Islands OF St
Thomas, st. Croix and ST. John, II Is
represented In the Copenhagen dispatch
that the American offer has been In
creased to Sass 600, Except for strate-
gle purposes and as a military neees-
sity' Il Is doubtful whether the Danish
West Indies are worth even the expen-
diture OF d dollar.

We can express only admiration and

pie Of Galveston. and the hope that

and only when this Is impossible, will
the knife be applied.
The appendix In question has often
been relied on as proof OF the evolu-
ton Of man from lower animal. It
has been pointed to as relic OF the
time when our remote ancestors were
Illuminating and therefore needed an ex-
ira stomach, or when they lived IN
the water and had use for a special
reservoir for air. All sorts OF surmlses
have been INDUCED IN as to the true
origin Of the peculiar organ. The dis
covery Of It's true function dsposes Of
all such guesses. And II must be adj
mtted that the probability is very
much in favor OF the Denver surgeons
statement.
In natures handiwork nothing Is
without its special use. Nature. though
lavish In It's creations, never is almless.
Everything, as far as known, exists for
a purpose, and the inference IL SOUND
that this is universal and holds good
even as TO such products OF nature
about the purpose Of which man is Ia
norant. That the real use OF an OBJ
scure member OF the human system
should have been unknown 80 long, Is
really not surprising. II II Is remem-
bered that only comparatively recently
has science found out the functions OF
the heart, the lungs, etc. Nor would Il
be surprising II ANTAGONISTS should at
last arrive at correct understanding
Of the role given to every part Of the

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-09-14

/W1TH reference to the political strife
growing out Of the assassination Of the
president, we beg to observe that 1t is
just as we'll for people to keep cool and
not fall into panic. The fact that the
president stands for an opposing politi-
cal party is no reason why Democrats
should withhold sympathy in his mis-
fortune; neither does expressions of
sympathy from Democrats commit
them to an endorsement of the pres
ident's politics. The fact that the pres
ident is a Republican has nothing to
do with the fact that he Is great, able
and pure. There are those who disa-
gree with us; but in our opinion Mr..
Bryan, the Democrat, is just as great,
able and pure. They differ principally
in that they represent conflicting poll
cies-opposing schools Of political
thought-and it does not follow at all
that because one is greet, pure man,
the other Is not. If Mr.. Bryan had
been president and the victim Of an as
sassin, we would have all felt toward
him just as we do toward Mr.. McKin-
ley, and from the very same motives.
The feeling among the Republicans
would not have been different from our
present feelings. Then, while we give
our hearts full play to answer to the
fullest the divinest touch Of humanity,
let us also leave free our judgment to
discriminate in favor of that which we
consider for the best political interest
of our state and nation.
