The Paris CORRESPONDENT of the Lon
don "Times" publishes a private letter
from Constantinople which throws an
interesting side light upon the character
of the Sultan. The writer says that
there was profound astonishment even
in Turkey when Said Pasha, for the
second time, was appointed Grand Viz
ier. It.was the general opinion that
the Sultan would never forgive him
after his flight to the British Embassy
But Abdul Hamid remembered that
Said was popular, especially with the
official class whose salaries he had paid
and that he e0joyed an enviable repu-
tation for personal honesty.
He therefore devised a thoroughly
Oriental scheme, by which he could al
once discredit his former servant and
prof by his good character. No soon
er did Said Pasha assume the reins of
office than the payment Of all salaries
ceased abruptly. Up to that time they
had been paid fractionally and irfegul-
arly, but with his advent supplies were
cut off altogether. Never had the Of
hcials been in so desperate a situa-
ton, and, of course, the whole odium of
it rested upon the shoulders Of the
luckless Said. From all corners of the
empire appeals for money were sent to
the Sultan, who gave them no heed,
but ostentatiously conferred gift of
SIS 900 upon his Grand Vizier, who,
ever since, has been regarded as man
without bowels or conscience. His po p
ularity has vanished and he is now as
much hated as his master.

TEXAS OIL GAME.

THE HERALL has been favored
with a circular letter from an
oil company in Texas which calls
for more than passing notice. On its
flce, the lette is very promising. in
deed it is all promises. The casual
reader would suppose that the philan-
thropist in >harge of operations had
organized a company solely for the
promotion of human happiness. a
close inspection of the facts, however
will convince anybody that the Beau
mont wcod-pile is full of Africans
As a special favor, the public is Of
fered stock at par in a company which
is not producing oil. With much en-
3hasis, the promoters say that 10 per
cent dividends are guaranteed by a
national bank; but later on the state
nent is qualified; the dividends said
to be guaranteed are for two years
only, so the guileless investor is prom
ised 20 cents Of every dollar he con-
tributes for the good of the cause.
The man y no is green enough to in
vest in this Texas proposition ought to
advertise for a supply of gold bricks.
There are plenty of opportunities for
legitimate investment in oil Or mineral
lands in Utah and adjoining states.
without one-tenth of the chance of
loss involved in sgch schemes as this
Texas outfit is working.
While there is always a heavy risk
in tire development of oil and mining
properties. the profits are large when
the venture is successful and nowhere
is the promise OF rich reward SO plen-
tiful as it is today in Utah, Wyoming
and Idaho. Here the investor can see
for himself the land to be developed
and use his judgment as to the prob
ability Of winning. But for Utah
nan to send money to Texas on such
an invitation is rs foolish as pouring
dollars down rat hole-or worse-for
he might get his money out of the rat
hole. but never from the Texas
sreerers.

Sampson did not allude to Schley-s al

SECRETARY HAY s NOTE.

. WHILE SECRETARY HAYS note
~ to Russia and China. in which
he deflses the policy of the Unit
ell states in the Orient, would be
beyond criticism as a general propo-
sition. the circumstances attending its
dispatch must be distasteful TO Ameri-
cans who desire their country to shun
foreign alliances. The dictum smackF
too much of compact with England
and Japan. 1t IS true that the COM
pact is more implied than actual, but
the suggestion is so prominent that it
cannot be ignored
The statement i ne dispatches that
the agreement be cen England and
Japan was submitted to and approved
by President Roosevelt and Secretary
hay amply iustihes the infereace re-
ferred TO. No objection can be made
to Secretary Hays desire to protect
American interests in China. and the
citizens OF the republic viii u1qUes-
tionably endorse his note 20 that eX-
tent. Russia has no business demand
irg and China has no right to grant
unusual concessions.
To all intents and purposes Nan
churia is today practically a Russian
province. II is occupied by the czaI s
troops notwithstanding ,he repeated
declare tion FROM Russia that she has
no desire to hold permanently any Chi
nese territory. Valuable trade Urivi-
leges have been granted TO Russia,
sach as the exclusive right 30 open
mines and rights of way for railroa Is.
Such grants as these must of necessity
irdpair China's ability to pay the Unit
ed states its share of the Boxer war
indemnity.
More than his, China has guaran-
teed an open door to its trade and the
United States has the right 70 demard
that that door be kept open to Amer
lean merchants on an equality with all
the world. As Mr.. Hay says. if one
nation can secure special privileges,
what is to prevent other nations from
making similar demands? The result
OF such a policy would inevitably mean
confusion worSs COMPOUNDED"
Now we como back to the original
proposition. The United States can
not afford to ally itself with England
and japan, with Russia or any other
power, for the purpose Of eQualizihg
trade concessions. The country is big
enough TO settle its own disputes ard
TO war its own wars, if necessary.
From the foundation of the republic
the wisest counselors have been united
of whatever character and the situa-
ton in China is assuredly not srdve
enough to warrant a departure from
that doctrine

i h OR HIS ANNOUNCED intention to

titled to the thanks and good will of

Of the benefits which Salt Lake will
derive from the road II may be said
that they viii be Immediately apparent.
Residents of the towns named will be
encourag ed, by the hourly service. to
run into Salt Lake for even trivial
purchases. This city will, therefore,

to estimate, but none Il less sure and
appreciate. And, as time goes by,
when people realize they can travel
speedily and often over the new road.
suburban homes win spring up and
many Salt Lakers will become commut-
ers.
The tendency Of modern workers is to
live as far as possible from their places
of business. One reason for this is
the cost of purchasing and maintaining
homes inside the corporate limits OF
great cities. Within the next few
years, if Mr.. Bamberger's plans are
realized. Salt Lake viii have a great
suburban population, population that

mendable as it is characteristic, Mr..

tons. He has secured all the financial
backing that is necessary TO success
fully float both, and witAin a eompar-
ativeIy short time they will be thrown

Salt Lake is to be congratulated on
having such a citizen as Simon BAN

by his works, and they are good.
