and almost treason to circulate In the
Philippines the minority report OF the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House on the philippine tariff bill,
Not long ago an officer in command OF
district in Samar denounced the De-
claration Of Independence as "a damn
ed incendiary document and prohibit
ed the circulation of translation of
it among the Flipinos.
We are disposed to think that 1t is
high time to take notice OF the acts
and utterances of our military despots
in the Orient. Possibly it may do no
good to protest, but it is hard to see
how any American who has the slight
est regard for his country's reputation
can keep silent in the face OF recent
occurrences. Take the late orders
issued by General Bell for instance.
He makes no secret of his purpose to
put war on a merciless basis. He says
he is going to strike terror into the
hearts of the Filipinos. Every insur-
shot on sight. He does provide that the
approval of a superior officer shall be
required for the execution of captives.
Worse than this. the policy of recon
centration, which made Weyler so OBJ
noxious in Cuba, and is disgracing the
British in South Africa. is to be put in
effect in the Philippines. There are
zones" around the garrisons within
which the inhabitants are required to
come with their possessions, under
penalty Of confiscaton and destruction
of their property. 1ne whole popula-
tion is subject to this order
General Bell says that lit Is regret
able that the innocent must suffer with
the guilty" He recognizes the fact that
they will But he holds that the
greatest good to the greatest number
can be attained by promptly sup
pressing the insurrection. If It should
not promptly come to an end, as 1t
has not under other systems, it Is to
be presumed that General Bell VIII
keep these people penned up indefinite
ly.
The Nation is responsible for this
crfme-the exact duplicate of the hor-
ror in Cuba of which we so justly
complained. Such herding of people in
improvsed shelters. cut off from their
ordinary means of support, deprived
of all the comforts of their homes,
necessarily results in immense suf-
fering and loss of life. 1t Is bad enough
when applied to men. When applied to
women and children It is indefensible
in the sight of God or man. 1t is blot
on the civilization of the age. This
nation cannot afford to sustain such
policy. It's reputation for decenCy and
Christianity is worth more than any
thing that could possibly be gained by
it.
But our military satraps have taken
to denouncing Senators and Represent
atives. and even Justices of the Su-
preme Court for disappearing their
barharous actions and assaults on IL
berty. President Roosevelt severely
reprimanded the ranking officer of the
Army for expressing a few words of
sympathy for Admiral Schley. 1t now
remains to be seen what he will do
with General Wheaton for arrogantly
denouncing the utterances of Senators
and Representatives in the Congress
OF the United States.

December'a Names.

December. SO called from being the
tenth month when the year began In
March. has probably had more names
conferred upon II than any other OF the
twelve into which our year Is now d.
vided. Among the early Saxons II was
called Winter Monat. or winter month.
After their conversion to Christianity
they called It Heligh Monat, or holy
month. in honor OF the birth of Christ.
In later days In Germany II was called
Christ Monat for the same reason.
Fires used to be lighted for warmth In
this month, and the want Of chimneys
used to cause too obvious inconven.
ience. which led to It's being called Flu
mosus, or smoky. 1t was also dubbed
Canus. or hoary, from the SHOWS or
hoarfrosts which then generally whit
ened the higher grounds.

SALTWATER TAX WAR
ASSESSORS OF WASHINGTON COUN-
TY FAIL TO AGREE
Each Will Proceed to Do His Work
as He Thinks Best-Charge of
Perjury Made Against James Lane
-GOes Through Bankruptcy.

The assessors of Washington county as
sembled at the court house yesterday to
get their books and papers preparatory
to beginning their work next Thursday
and incidentally to talk over valuations
for the coming year. For years it has
been the custom Of the assessors to agree
upon the valuation of all property to be
assessed and for the purpose of treating
no man unjustly a valuation of so per
cent of the real value has been selected
as the basis upon which the assessment
should be made. At yesterdays meeting
SCme of the assessors decided that all
property should be assessed at its full
value and they refused to listen to any
proposition for a reduction from the full
value. They argued that the law means
that all property shall be assessed at
what it will bring in the market and thew
finally carried their point. Later the de-
termination to assess at full value was
overruled and assessors will go on and
do their work as they think best. There
is no schedule to equalize the work of the
assessors of the various towns and the
county board of equalization will prob
ably have more work than it has had for
years.
A charge of perjury has been made
against James Lane, a well known resi-
dent of this city, and he appeared in the
municipal court yesterday morning to
answer to the complaint The conten-
tion is made that Mr. Lane became a
surety upon a bond and averred that he
was a free holder and worth more than
$1,000 above his debts and liabilities. Later
he went through bankruptcy and at that
time averred that all Of his property was
exempt. The hearing was adjourned un-
til next Tuesday, when the truth or falls
ity of the charge will be determined.

Half Holiday For c.

It is possible that tE Saturday

not be held in the future, in order
10 allow the clerks and other
attaches Of the court to have the
afternoon TO themselves. 1t is claimed
by those in favor Of the movement
that all the other employees of the city

officers claim that it would be a great
Inconvenience to be compelled to ap-
pear ia the forenoon as witnesses when

is likely that in the future the only

DO NOT WANT STRANGE
Officers Are Convinced That He

The county authorities here are sat-

not there, and they have decided not
TO attempt to bring him to Utah. The
Colorado authorities have been notified
10 this effect, and, when his parole Is
out. he viii likely have 10 answer for
q number Of other charges in that state
that viii keep him IN jail Tor a number

This decision or the part Of the coun-
IS authorities was arrived at a short
time ago. when County Attorney Chris
Jensen and several other officials held
an interview with Lynch at the state
prison in the presence OF Attorney
Wanless. This interview was on the
quiet, ard the county attorney placed
the parties to il under oath net to di-
vUlge the particulars OF What trans
pired.
From what could be learned, Lynch
declared positively that Strange had
nothing whatever to do with the hold
up, and insisted that Mace's affidavit
was false. 1t is also known that Lynch
told practically everything he knew
about the hold-up. and convinced the
officers that his story was true. The
story. it is said, shattered many pet
theories the officials have been work
ing upon and held as almost conclu-
sive. but what this story was those
who heard IL viii not divulge- They
declare that its publication at this time
would thwart the ends of justice, but
they say the affair is practically clear
now. and they know how TO proceed TO
bring the guilty parties to justice.

first he has ever made 10 anyone about
the affair. and 1t was made to the Of

Failing to Drown, Ed Johnson Cut
His Throat.

His Throat.
Ed Johnson, an unfortunate work
man supposed TO be from Spokane, at
tempted suicide yesterday at the coun-
ty Jail by slashing his throat with a
jackknife. The cut narrowly missed
the jugular vein. and the man lost a
great quantity Of blood, but the wound
was sewed up By Dr. Powers. and VIII
not prove fatal
johnson appeared TO be suffering
from delirium tremens. and had made
another attempt the night before, out
in RiveTdale. He VAS found near the
bridge IN that town early yesterday
morning, Invested of all his clothing
except underwear. and had been in
the river for several hours.
Sheriff Layne was notified by SIR.
Bingham early in the morning, and
went out with DR.. Forbes to bring the
man in. After remaining for a time IN
the woman's cell at the jail, he was
discovered with his throat cut and still
hacking away with his own knife.
Johnson is evidently a labOring man,
his hands being rough and cauoused-
IN his rawlings he told a lurid tale Of
being forced TO kill himself by a gang.
