years, or in contemplation OF the
vast monuments Of antiquity. The
Forum, Coliseum, the palace of the
Caesars, sublime even in their ruins,
to the imaginative mind become re-
peopled with heroes from the past, and
one can see the conqueror's chariot
climbing, amid the applause of the
multitude, TO the Capitol; can behold
Pompey and Antony, Brutus and Cas-
sius, again threading the ways so
loved by them; or, standing in the
arena OF the great Coliseum, hear the
cries of the martyrs as they grspple
In the last struggle with wild beasts
see the cruel passion of Nero as he
leans from his canopied balcony above,
giving the signal for slaughter
After Imperial Rome comes the
Rome OF the Popes-and Of them ST.,
Peters is the sign Of vast dominion
and Of power. Oh, to give you some
idea OF this most glorious church in
Christendoml 1t Isl golden triumph
of art-inside, outside, a majestic
dream Of marble columns uplifting the
vast dome Of Michael Angelol The
sublimity OF il is awful-one must
worship on entering whether one is
pagan or Christian; the soul bows be-
fore such divinity Of beauty.
Today we had long drive out TO
the splendid new church OF st Paul's,
where the great apostle is buried !;
then on to the English cemetery,
whore l visited the graves Of my be-
loved Shelley and Keats--so sadly neg
lected and desolate-and from Keats
grave pulled this bit of green.
We came back over the Janioulum
Hill, one Of the seven, upon whose
summit st. Peter was orucified-but
which is now = lovely pleasure park,
except the old church which mark 5
the tragedy. We got quite a wonder
full view of Rome, stretching for miles
beneath us, its palaces, its towers, its
bridges and churches cleaning in the
clear Italian light-a picture well
worth a journey across the wor Id to
see.
We are off for Switzerland in few
days.

THE WHOLE QUESTION.

II is useless to prolong controversy
over matter which is so plain that
the most ignorant need not err therein
This should suffice; Certain city Off
cals have undertaken TO go beyond
their legitimate authority aud take
steps through the courts and otherwise,
to obtain possession for the city Of a
site for a reservoir to cost nominaly
500, 900, but probably three times that
amount The Deseret News pointed
out the wrong of these proceedings. A
morning contemporary, which appears
to be determined to uphold those off,
cials no matter what they do or neg
lect TO do. has stated several times that
they acted under the express authori-
zatlon of the City Council" and now
repeats the assertion as follows:
"The City Council authorized an in
vestigation of reservoir sites, and APP
propriated money to make Il. The duly
authorized officials entered upon the
examination, and finding q particularly
well-suited location in Parley's canyon
which promised the maximum of water
al the minimum of cost, they proceeded
TO make the filing in behalf OF the city.
and to take the steps necessary to Sc
cure the site.
We have asked our contemporary,
over and over again, TO tell us when
that alleged authorization" OF those
officials occurred. No response is made
to that request Why? Because no
such authorization" was made by the
council. For the information OF the
writer who repeats his error 50 fire.
quently, we WIN say again. that the
City Council appointed a committee to
investigate the matter OF sites for res
ervoirs, and not the officials who have
run before they were sent, and acted
without authority.
We viii add that the committee Is
composed Of Counclmen j. j. Thomas
(chairman), c. cottrell, Jr. r. $.
Fernstrom w. ]. Tuddenham, and A,
J. Davis. The city engineer was re-
quested by the committee to make ex-
aminations and report, but no officer
OF the city has been authorized TO Sc
lect reservoir site, to make fling
on It In behalf Of the city" or to take
any steps necessary TO secure It," All
that has thus been done Is without au-
thority, and so far as the law is con-
ccrned. Is utterly void That is the
whole subject, and our contemporary
is only wasting space and showing It's
own lack Of information in vain en-
deavors to bolster up wrong.

THE OPIUM DANGER.

opium smoking, It appears from gov
trnment statistics, is one Of the destrpc-
tive habits that are growing 10 the
United States. And II 1t In on the In
crease here, It probably Is so In other
civilized countries.
According to custom house reports,
the opium traffic now amounts to
something like 100000 for one year,
Twenty years ago It was only 100000
annually,
II would be a mistake 70 suppose that
al this poison Is consumed by the Chin
ese, or as medicine, Much OF II goes
70 opium joints, og which, It Is assorted,
there are some in every large city Of the
coubiry
And this Is not the most discouuging
feature Of that traffic. 1t is asserted
the use of the drug is very much in
creasing in private homes. A contem-
porary claims that an estimate made a
few days ago, indicates that several
hundred women Of New York city are
smokers in the privacy Of their apart
ments, and that the same state Of
things exists In Chicago, ST. Louis and
10 fair degree in San Francisco,
II this Is true II is time for legisla-
tors and administrators OF law 10 take
drastic measures, II Is time to arouse
public conscience to the realization Of
an impending danger. Among the vices
to which men and women become slaves,
this Is one Of the worst In China. at
one time. popular rising was directed
In part against the importation Of the
drug But the movement was unsuc-
cessful, owing to foreign interference.
II Is perhaps only just retribution that
the civilized world should feel the curse
that II helped to fasten on an Aslatic
population, but nevertheless an earnest
struggle should be made against II by
all lawful means. The American nation
cannot afford to have its homes invaded
by such an enemy. The "joints" are bad
enough, but the enemy in the home is
the raal danger

AGAINST A GROWING EVIL.

Recently an international congress
was held In Paris for the consideration
Of an evil OF the existence OF which
the general public Is hardly aware,
namely. the traffic in girls, carried on
for immoral purposes. That such a
traffic should actually take place in
Christendom. Is a stain on our civlliza.
tion. worse than that left by the slave
trade.
From the accounts published Of the
proceedings Of the congress, It Is evil

reached large proportions II is car.

the promoters Of II to insert an ad-

no one TO appeal to; she ls strictly
watched; she Is incapable Of effectlng

business special study, assert that
the extent and nefarious character Of
II, are hardly even suspected, and that
some measures Of protection are very
much needed.
Germany Is said to be about the only
country in which this form Of crime
Is covered by legislation In other
countries attempts have been made to
cover the ground by private philan-
thropy. The object OF the Paris con-
ventlon was specially to secure inter-
national cooperation by the govern.
ments. With this end in view, an
agreement was adopted. which Is TO be
submitted TO the various governments
for ratification. One article In this
agreement empowers the proper au-
thorities TO prosecute and punish those
who commit the crime referred 10, even
though the different acts of which
the offense consists belong TO different
countries, no matter whether the VIC
tim Is n minor or has passed the age OF
majority, The protocol has been signed
by the delegates of fifteen countries.
The United States, II appears. was not
represented but that fact should not
prevent our government from cooper
atlng with others for the suppression
Of a crying evil, as far az this can be |
done by means of legislation
II is pointed out that the provisions |
agreed on, contemplate the introduction
of q new element into international law.
Under these provisions each state win |
be competent to act upon the whole
series Of acts that may constitute the
crime, instead of only upon that part
which may have been committed upon
It's own soil. Thus, II anyone engages

nent from publishing the delinquent.
This Is, perhaps, the most important
'esult arrived at by the deliberations

many tendencies, and which, finally,

WANTS PAY FOR VIRTUE.

a convict ls about to be released from
The California state penitentlary, where
ne has served term for forgery. A
story Is circulating to the effect that
he has offered to commit no more for
geries, II the Bankers association will
pay him a pension Of $500 a month. And
that Is a peculiar feature Of the story
of this convict.
He Is said to be most skllfu coun-
terfelter. At one time he raised a sl2
draft 10 22OOo, and at another time he
secured $4,000 from a bank.
Another wonderful story Is told about
this same gentleman. A proposition
was made, It is said, In his behalf some
years ago when he was sent TO prison
not far from New York, by deputatiou
Of men In fine raiment who came TO
beg the warden not 70 set him at shoe
making or other rough work, lest 1t
might srVll his "delIcacy OF touch" and
Interfere with his making money"
when released.
II cannot be possible that any ASSOC
citation win psy criminal for keeping
straight. That would be crookedness
OF a most dangerous kind. And II
would not pay either Five hundred
dollars u month would not suffice for
the wants Of that class Of artists"
Large sums would be needed. and Sc
cuFed some way OF another,
But the point ls, that prison life does
not reform some persons, II indeed any.
A man who threatens to commit crime,
unless rald for being good. is not re-
formed In France the law is that
sentence can be suspended during good
behavior, This is to save the first Of
fender from corruptlng contact in pris-
ons, II such law were supplemented

would be much better protected than II
is now. Such law would be excellent

That the public Is heartily tired of
the attitude which the coal operators
have chosen to maintain since the

likely to find expression In many ways
which the gentlemen who have invited

the plans and purposes OF God, who, in
His Infinite wisdom, has given them
