VERDICT FOR DEFENSE.
Woman Loses Case in Action for
Damages in City Court.

Damages in City Court.
A verdict for the defendant was re-
turned in the City Court yesterday
in the damage suit of Annett Coles
against ]. H. Koch. administrator.
The plaintiff sought to recover S.
600 because of injuries alleged to have
been received by the collapsing Of a
piazza on the premises that she &C.
cupied on Bay street. She contended
that the unsafe condition of the place
had been reported to the landlord, but
that no repairs were made, and the
accident by which she sustained Sc
rious injuries was the direct result
of the negligence of the defendant. At
the first trial of the case the plaintiff
was given a verdict for $500 which
was set aside by Judge Norwood.

government has also found that the
issue of paper money will not supply
its necessities. Foreign exchange must
be bought with which to get war ma
terials, and as it requires some fifty
pesos to buy each dollar, this falls with
Gripping force on the treasury. AL
though the government had yielded to
the temptation to issue larger and larg
er sums of paper money, and had seen
its pernicious effects on the morals of
the people and on the integrity of the
government itself, there was no remedy
except to continue or to confscate the
property of the people for public uses.
The result has been compromise in
which the evil effects of both measures
are clearly felt. Confiscation of prop
erty, forced loans and contributions of
war have been required of the people,
and especially from those who are
known to sympathize with the revolu-
tionary party.
THE effects of these measures are
most deplorable. Industry of every kind
has been almost completely paralyzed,
agriculture destroyed, many of the farm
houses burned, and villages abandoned;
and now, with the forced loans and
contributions of war, the banks and
commercial houses in all the business
centers of the republic are on the verge
of ruin
The government of Colombia is re-
public in name only. The real power
is lodged in the president. The presi-
dent cannot be called to account for
his actions, and he possesses extraor-
binary power to issue legislative de-
crees and to execute the laws by what
is known as 'the administrative pro-
cess" He appoints his cabinet, the
governors of the states, and all execu-
tive officers, either directly or through
those whom he has already appointed
and can remove at will. These officers
become his personal agents.
Although the revolution in Venezuela
has resulted in the defeat of the insur-
rectionists, the government has trouble
on its hands before it can take breath
to celebrate the victory. England and
Germany are pressing claims of in
demnity to persons and property of sub
jects who have suffered loss through
forced loans by reason of the war. 1t
is proposed to recover through seizure
of the Venezuelan customs. This gov
eminent has been appraised of the in
tentions of the European powers, but
no alarm is felt that any violation of
the Monroe doctrine will result through
such means to bring the saucy little
republic to its senses. Perhaps Grover
Cleveland has different views upon this
matter, but the provocations for inter-
ference by the United States are dis
similar to those existing when the ex-
president issued his famous edict to
Great Britain.

Labor and Socialism.

OCIALISM as a factor in politics
need create no alarm in this coun-
try, however strong its influence
may serve to vex Europe. Ours is es-
sentially land of opportunity. re-
strained at present by trusts and COM
binations; yet these elements of re-
straint to individual competition can
/ be made to yield to law honestly and
| vigorously administered. The basic
principles of socialism are analogous
to the motives going to make combina-
lions to control production, such as we
complain of today. The socialist aims
at the absolute ownership of all means
Of production and the annihflation of
individual capital, and does not stop at
the ownership of public utilities by the
city or state. Socialism warns its fol-
lowers against such a plan to obscure
its real designs, and in its platform de-
nounces the so-called public owner
snip movements as an attempt of the
capitalist class to secure government
control of public utilities for the pur-
pose of obtaining greater security in
the exploitation of other industries and
not for the amelioration of the condi-
tons of the working Glass;
Even should a majority of this cult
control the administration of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, it is alto
gether improbable that it could bring
destruction upon the trades union,
which has so excellently performed the
work of amelioration for the wage
Garner. Workingmen would be re1uc-
tant to yield result for mere expert
ment, however alluring the arguments
and hopes held out by socialism. After
all, what there is of good in socialism
has been already tested with Indifferent
or disastrous results by the more en-
sc&nsiastic of the brethren. Not on a
large scale, it is true, but enough to
explode the delusion that all men can
be satisfied in a community where
equality in everything must be OBJ
served. Human character, natural i'm
pulse, are against such plans to level
industry and ability to a common plane
and subject individual ambition. Moth
ing can, nothing ever did spring from
the chrysallis of socialism to give it
substance but the influence of religion
not necessarily true or false religion,
but creed that subjected the individ-
ual to docile obedience and brought
content with humility. These qualities
are not discovered in the socialist. Sell
dom either is religion, good or bad,
though a person is not obliged to re-
nounce Christianity when he espouses
socialism.
The Catholic church alone confronts
the questions of labor and socialism in
the proper spirit. It recognizes the
growing tendency of the laboring
classes to invade the philosophy of So
cialism, but its warnings and admoni-
lions are not intended to arouse re-
sentiment. Rather does it seek to sep
arate the good from the evil, recog-
nizing good in all things not condemned
as dangerous to mans happiness
Therefore are we pleased to present
Archbishop Spalding's views on Social
ism and Labor in this issue, although
what we take to be only the introduce
tory chapter to his forthcoming book
appears just now.

Peace in South America.

DEACE has settled down in South
America and will bide awhile. 1t
is the peace which comes after
war, taking time to heal the wounds
of fratricidal strife, only to break out
afresh upon the least provocation The
word ''provocation'' is not to be taken
in the sober sense in which we apply
it to justify rebellion against author
ity. In the South American republics,
more especially Colombia and Venezu-
ella, any man has provocation who be-
lieves in rapid succession to office by
means of physical force, and who can
enlist an armed faction to back up
his ambition.
In view of the relations into which
we are likely to be brought with Co.
lombia, through the construction of
the Panama canal, ne political dis
turbances in that country possessed
more than an academic interest, yet
accounts furnished the American press
were few and meagre. Even such were
skipped by the average newspaper
reader, because of the generally ac-
cepted belief that stories of South
American battles and casualties were
minimized by railroad or other acct
dents occurring in North America;
some readers even going so far as to
compare these battles and assaults
with the more heroic slaughter of our
football gridiron. Yet, however anus
ing the contrast may be, however small
the number of casualties in the almost
daily engagements, the thought is
aroused that some time a total would
discover a considerable loss of men
and material, even if the combatants
did not extinguish themselves alto
gether, like the famous Kilkenny cats.
The revolution in Colombia was be-
gun ON Oct. II, 1S99-almost the pre-
else date of the outbreak of the Boer
war. The government is said to have
placed $4,000 men under arms, and the
revolutionists are believed to have
mustered $4,000. Some 400 combats of,
greater or less Importance had been
reported UP TO February last; the num-
Der of men killed on both sides, up
to that time. was estimated at 5O,-
900.
The Conservatives themselves de-
posed President Cen Clemente two
years ago, and the vice president, DR..
Jose NJ. Morroquin, was placed at the
head of the government. His admin
istration has been seriously handi-
capped by the lack of concord among
the Conservative leaders. The Colom-
bian peso has declined in value, since
the outbreak of the war, from 25 cents
ia gold to about cents. There are
now about 2OO,OOO,OOO pesos of incon-
vertible paper currency in circulation,
which is legal tender for all debts
and obligations.

February last, describes the industrial
situation of the republic at that time:h

N. P. Dooley, so we'll and favorably
known in Salt Lake, died last Friday,
Nov. q. The announcement of his
death caused profound sorrow among a
host of true friends in all conditions of
llfe-friends whose grief is deep and
sincere, and whose hearts go out in
tender sympathy to the bereaved wife,
brother and other relatives in this time
of sore affiiction.
Bert Dooley was noble, true man
in ali that the word implies, and the
esteem that was felt for him was
shown by the number of sorrowing
friends who attended the funeral serv-
ices on Tuesday The deceased was re-
spected for his unstained life, his stern
integrity and an unfaltering devotion
to his church. His simple, CHEEKY man
ner and model character so endeared
him to all that there was not one
whose heart did not throb with deep
feeling on hearing he was no more.
Bert Dooley as his friends have al
ways been wont to call him, was born
in Nevada thirty-five years ago. He
was in business for many years in
Phoebe and De Lamar and was known
and highly respected from one end of
that state to the other He had filled
the offices of county clerk and county
treasurer of Lincoln county, in both Of
which positions he acquitted himself
with honor
When the Stateline district was dis
covered he went with his brother, Will
j. Dooley, and became interested in the
now well known Johnny gold mine. In

Jibbings of College Professors.


The recent utterances of President
Elliot of Harvard respecting the dan
gers and degradation of trades unions
is naturally exciting much comment
With unerring periodicity some of our
prominent educators seem as naturally
to write themselves down asses as the
seasons are to come and go. We have
the irrepressible and hopelessly idiotic
Triggs inveighing against the match
less heart-reaching songs of Longfellow
and advising a board of control for poe
try and novels. The contempt for his
Jibbings has barely passed when Presi-
dent Elliot of Harvard takes up the
cudgel against trades unions, because
they undertake to work as few hours,
produce as little as possible and in re-
turn therefor demand the highest COM
pensation obtainable. A mind logically
enough construed to see that two and
two make four could detect the deduc-
ton to be drawn from organizations of
capital by the assertion of this dog
matte all. Railroads.&c. corporations
that exist for the purpose of making
profit on an investment-have a fixed
rule rendering the least service in the
most convenient time for them, for
maximum charge. Competition among
employees as well as the natural desire
for gain drives them to secure the long
est practicable hours of service, with a
maximum of production for a minimum
of payment. 1t is a strange education
which teaches that the accomplishment
of these results are in the interest of
mankind when sought for by capital,
and dangerous to the race when pro-
NOTED by labor. Such ridiculous utter
ances are what give color and support
to the opinion of the crusty old man
who was asked to indorse a scheme for
establishing a new college. Yes" he
said. yes, colleges are good. There's
lot of sense in them, too Young men.
when they go to college, take a little
sense with them and they-leave it
there. Pessimist in Goodwin's

NEW PAPAL DELEGATE.
Vatican Represented For First Time
by an American Citizen.


Mgr. Falconio, who has been ap-
pointed to succeed Mgr. MartinelIi as
apostolic delegate to the United States,
is expected to arrive in Washington
before the end of the week to assume
the duties of his new position His
coming is looked forward to with no
little interest in diplomatic and of
tclal circles. Society, however, has
nothing to expect from the newcomer,
as it is not at all probable that he will
grace any function of a social char
acter with his presence. In this re-
sDect he will follow closely the ex-
ample set by his predecessors, Cardinal
Satolli and Mgr. Martinelli. In fact,
he is expected to be seen even less in
public than his predecessors for, as a
member of the Augustinian order, he
is forbidden to indulge in any social
recreation and is bound to follow
strictly the simple life prescribed by
the rules of that order He is expected
to pay his respects to President Roose-
welt and probably will make formal
calls upon the members of the dinlo-
matte corps representing Catholic
countries, but here his mingling with
the official world will cease
But with the coming of Mgr Falco-
Mo the Vatican will be represented for
the first time at Washington by an
American citizen, he having been nat
uralized at Buffalo, N Y, in 1872
while professor of classic languages at
st. Bonaventure's college. Though
born in Italy he has passed the great
er part of his career op this side CT
the Atlantic. With the exception Of
a brief period when he was attached
to the headquarters of his order in
Italy, he has spent his time in America
In addition to his post at st. Bona
ventures college he was attached for
a time to st. Anthonys church, New
York City, and was apostolic delegate
to Canada, which position he continued
to fill until his recent appointment IN
a similar capacity to the United States
Mgr. Falconio speaks English and
French in addition to italian, and is
distinguished for his eloquence and
learning

strange that whereas Nicholas who is
so averse to luxury and to magnifi-

the richest monarch in Christendom, his

who like all the glamor of royalty,

definition of purgatory. Leave her

time Of the coronation an English sa-
want traced out the genealogical tree
of King Edward VII, from Edward "
of Scotland down to Queen Victoria. in
order TO find out how much pure Eng
lish blood was contained in the veins
of his majesty. The result was as fol-
lows: Out Of 4,O56 drops of blood cir
culating in his veins King Edward VII
has only one drop of English blood,
which comes to him from Margaret
Tudor. sister Of Henry VIII and wife
OF James " or Scotland. He has rg1o
drops of French blood, derived from
Mary Stuart whose mother was Mary
of Guise; five drops of Scottish blood,
from James ~ OF Scotland and Darn
ley; eight drops of Danish blood and
4,040 of German blood. One drop of
English blood out of 4,O56 is not too
heavy weight for an English king!
