EMBLEMs or MouRNIN G.

The paucity of mourning emblems
on the business houses and private
dwellings in this city on Thursday. has
been subject Of comment and some
disapprobatlon. A comparison is made
between the street decorations in
mourning for Mckinley and those at
the funeral OF Garfield, when nearly
every prominent establishment was
creped deliberately
The difference, 1t is true. is quite
conspicuous. But that Is mere out
ward display which does not always
express the inward feeling. 1t was,
no doubt genuine In the case of Car
field, but certainly there was no less
real mourning over the death of Me-
Kinley. The trapplngs Of the grave
have been made prominent by custom,
and some peoples estimate Of the grief
of the bereaved Is guaged, by the ex-
penses OF the funeral and the quantity
of black displayed in the dresses of
the mourners. 1t is, however, poor
guide to the true situation, and is Of
ten but submission to the DEGREES Of
fashion.
Some objections have been made in
English papers to the colored habili-
ments OF Americans attending notable
obsequies, Black is the regulation
costume for such occasions. But the
Independence which is the genius of
American institutions. Is often mani
fest In departure from the rigid rules
OF society etiquette, and even relatives
Of the deceased sometimes appear at
the burial services In their ordinary at
tire, White is regarded by the ma
jorlty Of the people here as most APP
propriate for a decoration when good
people die. But while their close rela-
tives usually don the usual mourning
garb it Is not considered necessary fol
others to make the expensive and need
less change.
Flowers. however, are used In pro-
fusion. They form a beautiful tribute
10 the departed and serve to brighten
the gloom OF the grave. This custom
is carried often to excess, and is some
times matter Of display and ostenta-
ton that is by no means mark Of sin
cere grief. The aching heart does not
always find expression in those ex-
IRENE outward symbols. that custom
requires or vanity suggests. Even
hysterlcal outbursts and copious tears
are not always signs of true sorrow
and an abiding sense Of anguish and
loss.
We do not believe that any great
public servant Of the people was ever
more truly mourned than President
Mckinley has been. The feeling Of
deep sadness at his sudden death. has
been added upon by the cruel manner
Of his taking OFF There Is a horror and
an Indignation In the souls Of men
vefltably irrepressible. There is also
a deep sense OF the value OF that noble
life. Of strong regard for his valued
services, and Of tender sympathy for
the wife bereaved, that make this oo-
casion one OF rare and universal
mourning.
The sentiment Of the heart is more
than the surface seeming. The true
regret Of multiplied millions speaks
louder than any decorations that could
he Displayed. Not only the nation that
has lost him srieyes over the grave "a
Mckinley, but The whole civilized
world joins in the deep sadness that.
nothing tangible can fltly express.

A FRIEND OF THE INDIAN.

With the death Of Bishop Henry b.
Whipple, OF the Protestant Episcopal
church, which occurred on the 10th OF
this month, at his home in Faribault,
Mimi, a prominent figure in the &C.
clesiastical sphere Of this country has
been removed. A great part OF his life
was devoted TO missionary labors
among the Indians. and among those
he was known by the name OF Straight
Tongue" because OF the confidence
lhey placed in what he told them.
In 1853 Whipple was elected bishop OF
Minnesota. and shortly afterwards he
visited the Indian mission OF st. CO.
lumbia, Gull Lake. He found the con-
dltion Of the Redmon most pitlable.
They were without government with
out protection, without personal rights
OF property, subject to every evil in
1uenoe, and the prey Of dishonest white
traders while "the fire-water flowed in
rivers OF death" He at once resolved
to befnend the race In every way With

There were 10000 Indians in his do

Theodore Roosevelt comes into the
duties OF the Presidency, In his forty
third year. with advantages OF charac-

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH IT?

The ogden Standard seems to be
possessed OF an antl-salt Lake mania.
Every day or two somthing yenomous
and spitoful appears IN IT'S editorial
columns concerning affairs In this capi-
tai. OF course that can do Ogden no
good. and ana we do not think It viii
do Salt Lake any harm. But II is UNI
pleasant to see these illnatured displays,
particularly when they are accompan-
led by gross and palpable untruths,
After the disastrous Are IN this city
whlch destroyed the buildings occupied
by the Oregon Short Line ana other
Offices, the Standard stated that the
loss was oecasloned by an insufficient
water supply, and affirmed that there
was not force enough here to put out
a fire In a two-story building, The
evident purpose OF this falsehood was
to make Il appear that 1t was unsafe to
have railroad office, or any other
important place Of business In this city.
The Deseret News obtained from the
chief Of the fire department here
statement concerning the water sup
ply at the fire, which 1t appeared was
ample and the force greater than Is
common in New York, Chicago and
other large cities having very lofty
buildings II was from % to l02 pounds
to the inch. capable Of shooting
stream over the highest building in this
state. We explained this, and also
showed that the destruction was not
occasloned by the lack of water or even
by the fierceness of the fire, but by
terrible explosion, ,ither of chemicals or
powder which blew up the center build
Ing and caused a resistless draught for
the rushing OF the flames.
The Standard made no correction of
it's inexousable error, but now takes
advantage Of an editorial In the
News" fayoring plans for an in
creased water supply for this city and
county, which viii be needed in future
because of the growth OF our popula-
tion. and of increased demands both
for domestic and mechanical purposes
and for irrigation. In the same men
dacious spirit That inspired It's pre-
vious untruths, the Standard attacks
the Deseret News, and states that the
News nov admits there is short
age of water In Salt Lake" and then
repeats the former falsehood, that the
ilremen were Handicapped by poor
water supply.
This Is an exhibition Of folly as well
as wilful preyaricatlon, that shows a
worthy only of deprayod
attorney, and is below the
level OF the most degraded species Of
modern yellow journalism.

SHOT DEAD BY A CORPSE.
How Rife in the Hands of Dead
English Sergeant Killed
BOer Soldier.

A Boer commando retook those
lines where those who died for us
We're lying, and as they marched
among our dead they saw sergeant
lying at full length, shot through the
brain, yet even in death the man
looked like some fighting machine
suddenly gone out of order, says the
London News. His rifle was pressed
against his shoulder, his left hand
grasped the barrel on the under side,
the forefingers of the right hand
pressed the trigger tightly, the barrel
rested out upon rock and his death
dulled eye glared along the sights,
for dissolution had come to him lust
as he bent his head to fire at those
who shot him, and now his hands had
stitfened in the unbendable stiffness
of eternal sleep. A Boer soldier saw
the sergeant as he lay, and with rude
hands grasped the rife by the barrel
and tried to jerk it from the dead
mans grip, but as he pulled he
brought the rife in line with his own
breast AID the unyielding finger on
the trigger did the rest. The rifle
spoke from tie dead mans hand, and
the bullet, passing through the Beers
heart, laid him beside the Brton
Sounds like a journalistic lie, does
it not? Read it in novel, and YOU
would laugh, would you not? But it

me the tale himself, and he was one
