PEACE CONGRESS AT GLASGOW.

About month ego a peace confer
ence, OF international character, was
held at Glasgow. Scotland, attended by
many distinguished advocates Of more
rational modes Of settling International
difficulties, than that commonly resort
ed to.
Gatherings of this kind have been
characterized as farcical by people who
fail to notice the actual progress that Is
being made. But 1t Is evident that the
good work is gaining ground all the
time.
The first peace society was estab-
llshcd In this country in 1915. England
followed a year later with similar or
SANITATION. Ten years later France had
a peace society. and then came other
countries. Ten years ago The FIRST in
ternatlonal gathering for peace was
held in Rome. and a permanent organl-
cation was established with headQuar.
tcrs at Berne. The result Is that the
peace idea has become popular, and
that war now Is regarded as something
abnormal. while the rules Of war have
been civilized as far as possible.
That is an encouraging gain for COM
paratively short agitation.
At the International congress In Glas-
gov many important matters were dis.
cussed. The following resolution was
proposed by an American delegate, and
unanimously adopted:
"The Hague conference having recon-
mended four different methods Of
avoiding war, which are CD mediation,
Cd international commission, CD special
commission, and (D arbitration pure
and simple. the congress declares that
any state which refuses 70 adopt any
one OF these when proffered by It's OPP
ponents. has forfeited one OF the pri-
mary claims to be regarded az a civil
iced nation. and that every citizen who
consents to such position on the part
OF his government shares IN the guilt
OF the war which may ensue
A very important matter considered
was the education OF the young In the
principles Of justice and peace. One
OF the American delegates SAL the chief
cause Of the amazing outburst Of re-
sentiment against England, wlicA swept
over the Hand at the time Of the Vene-
zuelan episode. was the defective and
misleading teaching OF the history Of
the Revolutionary war for two or three
generations previously. Net perhaps
so much from explicit teaching that the
English we're our hereditary foes, as
from the lack Of explicit teaching in re-
gard TO the present attitude Of English.

had crown up to suppose that the Eng

King Geofee and still held grudge

proved by the remarkable selection
made by Samuel Plimsoll, NJ p. from

the mind Of the unframed child feel
Ing Of antipathy to England which is
wholly unshafed BY the English child in
his thought Of America.
With respect TO the Armenian ques-
ton, resolution was passed that
petition should be presented TO the var
ious governments that had signed the
treaty of Berlin, to sail an Official con-
ference for the solution OF the Arme-
MAN question by the application Of the
project Of reform elaborated in May,
1895, by Great Britain, France and Rus
STA, and ratified by the sultan himself
II was pointed out that this interna-
tional agreement places the Armenian
question on a distinctly different basis
from that Of other prosecuted or suf-
fering nations, to whom general sympa-
thy must be extended but whose con-
dition we may have no legal way TO
improve,
Missionaries IN foreign lands came in
for a share OF the deliberations and a
resolution was passed urging such
missionaries to refrain from invoking
the military power OF their governments
to ayenge their wrongs, as the knowl-
edge that they were laboring dislnter-
estedlv would avail far more to win
success TO their work than IL they were
known to be ready to rely on force.
Finally a resolution against conscrip-
ton was passed, expressing the belief
that by refusing all plans OF compul-
sorry service the British people would
give great impetus, both In this and
other countries, toward further con-
sideration Of the proposal for the most
OF the amendments which had already
been discussed at The Hague by the en-
Voys OF the various powers"
This Will give good idea Of the ma.
ture OF the work done at Glasgow by
the friends Of peace, That their adj
dresses and resolutions are good seed
sown which will bear abundant fruit,
cannot be doubted.

JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS.

There seems to be great anxiety
on the part OF some newspaper writer's
and reporters, 10 make public their
own notions and guesses about the ar
fairs of the Mormon" Church, and TO
air them as authentic accounts OF ar
fairs about which they have obtained
information by means not generally at
tainable. Once in while they may
present q thread OF fact, In the gar
.nent OF fiction which they display be-
fore the gaze of the public. But In
the main they simply expose their own
lack Of understanding of the principles
and methods Of the Church, and an Inn
pertlnence which would be laughable
because It is grotesque, were II not for
Its deceptive assumption.
When action Is taken by the Church
authorities on any matter of import
ance to the public, 1t viii be duly an
nounced In the proper way, because
there Is nothing OF that kind to con-
ceal. II will be observed by the think
ing public that the representations
and forecasts and speculations INDUCED
IN by the persons referred to. in almost
every instance turn out to be erroneous.
Their explanations Of the motives and
purposes Of individuals who are or
have been more or less prominent In
Church affairs. are simply ridiculous
and are usually disgusting because OF
their impudence.
The private affairs OF individuals
should be sacred TO every decent person
and paper. The internal affairs OF a
church or a society which have no
bearing upon the general public, ought
not TO be held out In the press In q
distorted form, and indeed should be
left to their own proper sphere and onl,
given publicity when It Is intended that
they should be OF general information,

cnt minds, We think that all Just per-
sons viii agree with us. that the
guesses and pretended disclosures and
representations which are frequently
given to the public without any real
basis on which to stand, add nothing
to the reliability or respectability Of
any Journal that INDUCES in them.
The movements and decisions of the
authorities Of the Church OF Jesus
Christ Of Latter-day Saints win be duly
published in its official organ. and this
information can be depended upon
Anything that may be given by those
authorities to other papers will also be
reliable. But the groundless speoula-
tions and opinions and conclusions
which are sometimes printed as facts
are usually presumptuous, delusive and
the offspring OF vanity and assump'

CAN PREACH IN JAPAN.

Rev. Charles H. Evans NJ Toxic. Is
quoted as having said thai. according
to his belief. a promise WAS exacted"
of the missionaries in Japan that they
would not preach or advise polygamy,"
and with that understandlng they were
allowed TO continue. Tho utter ab.
surdity Of this belief, or supposltion,
has been pointed out by The News"
Mormon missionaries do not preach
or advise polygamy,' either at home or
abroad and but for the sporadic anti
Mormon agitation. the question would
have been closed years ago
From items that have nopeared in
papers printed in Japan, II is toerably
clear that Christian missionaries
there have endeavored to influence the
Japanese authorities to close the doors
OF the empire to Apostle Grant and his
associates. That they have slandered
them and spoken all manner Of evil
against them may also be taken for
granted, But whatever they have said,
their efforts have been Of no avail.
The missionaries have been Hospitality
received.
The Japan Weekly Mail Of Aug. g.
states that an official of the home de-
partment had been "interyiewed" for
the purpose OF ascertaining the Official
view as to the propriety Of permitting
the Mormon propaganda in Japan.
But the interviewer" whoever he was
and whatever were his arguments,
found little consolation from that
source. The official stated In substance
that whenever the "Mormons" made
application for the privilege Of estab-
fishing a place of worship or expound-
ing creed, steps would be taken to
ascertain whether their doctrines are
likely to prove inimical to the preser-
walton OF good order and public moral
lily. II they can satisfy the authorities
on those points. they will have con-
stitutional right 10 preach their creed.
That is clear, official statement OF
the legal rights Of our missionaries In
Japan. And the fact that they have
been given the privilege of preaching,
shows that the Japanese authorities are
satisfied as to the purity OF their doc
trines. Assuming that an official in
vestigation has been held with salts
factory results, the adversarles Of the
missionaries will be almost powerless.
For a charge Of immoral and disorderly
tendencies in the Gospel doctrines, will
be equivalent to an insinuation that the
government investigation was super
fetal, or conducted with incompetency.
Even Christian" missionaries viii hes
itate, we should think. before going be-
fore the Japanese people with such re-
Elections on their government.

One factor In the probable surrender
or capture OF Lucban Is the fact that he
really wants TO surrender, according to
his intimate friends. But he also de-
sires to save the rather large amount Of
money which he has collected as insur-
gent taxes. AS this Is in Mexican sill
yer, II forms an obstacle TO his rapid
transit, inasmuch as his quartermaster
ana commissary generals are opposed 10
letting him get away with the Doodle.
This may sooner or later result In his
capture through the treachery OF the
men Of his command, who want their
share OF the money. Or he may be-
come so Disguised, that he viii surren-
der without stlpulating for the safety
