WITH BRITISH MONEY.

The Shah's visit 10 Europe has evil
IDENTIFY not been for pleasure alone. II
seems to have been intended for a ruse,
by which the attention Of the British
government was directed away from a
little loan the Shah made in Russia
For II now appears that Russia hai
advanced Persia the sum of s25,o00,O 900
which loan was secretly negotiated
while Great Britain was looking the
other way.
1t was not intended that this trans
action should be publicly known, but
the news Of II has come, and now nat
urally there is chagrin. The Shah Is
constantly borrowing money. And with
each loan he generally gives valuable
concessions, so that his creditors VIII
eventually control his country from one
end to the other. Great Britain natur-
ally thinks she ought TO have the priv
ilege of furnishing all the money
needed. But the Shah has given the
preference TO Russia this time.
Russia has learnt to buy the favors
Of the Persian ruler In this way, and
what Is particularly aggravating In the
transaction, is the fact that Russia In
ell probability has borrowed the gold In
England. which she proposes to lend
10 Persia. In all probability 1t Is Brit.
ish gold with which Russia is about t.
obtain new grants and privileges.
Russias great aim Ia TO obtain full
control OF a Persian gulf harbor with
which to connect the Caucasian rail-
road system. 1t is this plan that Great
Britain has endeavored TO Illustrate
Russia seems TO have the better Of the
game for the time being Just what
she has gained In the way Of conces-
sions does not yet appear But 1t il
safe TO say that the grants given by
the Persian monarch are more than
adequate TO the sum borrowed.

RUSSIA IN MANCHURIA.

The Russian minister at Pekin, II
seems. has notified the Russian COM
mander in Manchurla that the presence
Of foreigners there. while the province
Is under military occupation, Is not
desirable. and he is specially directed to
expel British customs employees, that Is
to say atives of Great Britain but EN-.
ployed by the Chinese government.
This Is no doubt IN pursuance Of the
policy adopted by Russia from the first
occupation OF Manchuria. At Wash
ineton the expulsion order is regarded
as concerning only Russia, England
and China. but II is evident that II the
doctrine OF 'Manchuria for Russians
only" Is permitted to be proclaimed
without contradiction. It viii be prac-
ticed, whenever Russia deems 1t safe
to do 30. And what becomes, then, OF
the open-door doctrine that was laid
down with some emphasis, not very
loag ago?

THE MAYOR AND The COUNCIL

nation on lawn sprinking. II IL viii

nation II viii find the same Is signed
by Mayor Thompson. Tribune.
The News didn't think or seem to
think anything OF the kind, but stated:
"A proclamation to that effect has been
issued by the Mayor. by order Of the
City Council II the Tribune objects
to the phrase. "by order of the City
Council" It should consult It's own col
umns for the statement. TO be con-
sistent, that paper should set up howl
about "the council attempting TO ex-
erclse executive powers" that would be
in line with its recent contentious.
II Is pleasing to see that the Mayor
does not follow the lead of his organ
and apologist, but gracefully submits
TO the instruction" Of the city Coun-
ell. He commences his proclamation
by announcing that: Whereas the City
Council Of Salt Lake city, has by reso-
luton Instructed the Mayor to issue
proclamation" etc.
That is all right and II is pleasant to
see the Mayor and the Council In har-
mony on one point in the water ques-
ton. The Mayor does not seem to
thlnk' that there is anything wrong
In the instruction" Of the Council nor
In their exercise Of the power to issue
that Instruction. whatever our dissent
ing contemporary may seem to think"
to the contrary.

THE COAL STRIKE.

A Wllkesbarre dispatch states that
important negotiations are going on
between the labor leader President
Mitchell, and Gov Stone. The natural
conclusion Is that efforts are being
made to end the strike. though. very
properly the parties interested In the
matter refuse at present 10 make any
statement for publication. II appears,
though. that the question now IL rather
what legislation should be rec )mmend-
ed. than what terms OF peace will I've ac-
cepted The governor has been talk
Ing about calling an extra session Of tie
legislature. TO consider compulsory ar
bitraton laws, and that Is the topic he
seems to have placed before the miners.
President Baer recently stated that
the wages paid In the anthracite region
were "falr and JUST" that they could
not be Increased without crsasng the
price Of coal and driving the public to
the use Of bitumlnous coal. and that,
further. one scale OF wages for The
whole region is lmpractcaDe lie says
neither OF these points can properly be
made the subject Of arbitration. As
long es this view is entertained. there
is little prospect OF termination Of
the contest.
But Is 1t true that the fairness CT
wages paid. the effect OF iisa, or the
practicabllity Of uniform rate are
subjects that cannot properly be sub
mitted 10 arbitration? One would think
that these are the very questions sor
a third party TO decide. stree possibly
the two contendlng parties are more
or less seihshly Interested. one way or
another. The attitude Of Mr.. iaer sug-
gests The necessity of havlrg law
compelling arbitration and defining. as
clearly as possible, what matters are,
and what are not, proper subjects OF
arbitration.
II Is OF comparatively small impci..
ance whether this particular labor war
Is ended at this time by s>me eonces-
sions from one side or from both sides.
The all-mportan: consideration is TO
make all such contests Impossible for
the future. And II there is any other
remedy than an arbitration law.it would
be well TO have IL suggested. What the
remedy II, does not matter, as long as
II is Efficient. There must, under civil
lied conditions be a way out OF indus
trial warfare, With Its riots, disturb
ances. sufferings and losses OF life and
property. That way ought TO be found
and undoubtedly It VIII be found, when
public conscience is awakened to the
dangers Of the situation.

y writer In the September Review Of
Reviews. points out that the chief cause
of the abandonment Of the farm was
the loneliness OF farm life, especially
In sparsely settled regions, where there
were few nelghbors, and II was far be-
tween them. The women felt the infiu-
ence Of the isolation. and also the chill

into the homes OF those who can Of
ford them, and the travelling library
supplies those who canhot purchase
the books. School facilities are becom-
ing greater and social parties are no
longer excep tIonal events OF rural life.
As a consequence, the farm is again
looked upon with favor. And people
are turning toward the country.
This is as Il ought to be. There Is
no more Independent life than that Of
farmer. There may come TO him
years Of depression, as to everybody
else, but as rule his products make

The idea Of the founders OF Utah, 10
have farmers live In small settlements,
where they enjoy all the good features
of city life. and at the same time be
within easy reach Of the farm land, was
correct. II Is that idea that nov is be-

Rudolph Vlrchow was born at Schiy-
elbein, Pomerania, Oct. 10, 1871. He
was the son OF shopkeeper. He was
first taught In the village school, but
went TO Berlin and studied medicine.
In 1Si3 he graduated and became as
sistant professor at the university. He
Immediately became noted. He gained
respect by his report on an epidemic OF
typhus fever among the sIlesan weav-
ers. This study Of the conditions OF life
among the workers gave color also to
his political opinions, and his espousal
Of radical views In the troubious times
of 1889 brought his dismissal from the
university. SO great was the protest
from the medical and scientific world
that the minister Cancelled the dismiss
sal, but virchow preferred then to 20 to
the University OF wurzburg, and there
II was that he made his first striking
discoveries. In 1856 he was recalled to
the University Of Berlin as full pro-
fessor and there he continued TO labor
faithfully In HIS studies and his teach
Ing until within about six months, q
period of i6 years.
TO virchow the honor Of having
coined the word "kultur-kampf" Is as
crlbed. The word means battle for
civilization" and Is, as old we pre-
sumo. as the contest for light against
darkness. But we believe II had a new
application, when used TO denote the
struggle OF Bismarck against clerical
influence In state affairs. To him that
was ''kultur-kampf," not a contest
for personal supremacy.
Prof yirchow was fortunate enough
TO find recognition by contemporary
world. He was honored and rewarded
for his work. Many build for the future
alone; they are too far ahead of their
own age to be appreciated. Prof. Vir-
chow was known throughout the scien-
tific world, and 1t paid Its homage to
him, In fullest measure.
