THE OUTLOOK roR PEACE.

Pretoria dispatches still give hope Of
an early termination Of hostilitles in
South Africa. It is believed that some
sort OF an agreement has been reached
by the leaders on both sides. but it
seems the terms will have 10 be rau-

present confused state Of affairs.
Judging from the dispatches. the
Beers are generally willing to surrender
independence, II they are guaranteed
some sort OF autonomy under British
control, and II amnesty IS granted to
the Care Colony insurgents They also
insist on the British paying the war
expenses and restoring the devastated
farms The question is whether Great
Britain Is willing TO grant such lib.
eral terms. after having announced
that unconditional surrender Is the con-
ditlon without which there can be no
peace. But the war, possibly. has had
the effect Of s1ftenlng the obstinacy
on both sides. n It Is true that The

NO GOOD IN IT.

The fulminations Of the Methodist
ministers at their recent conference in
this city are commented upon edlton-
ally by the ogden Standard, which app
pears to be somewhat chagrined at the
discrimination against ogden In not be-
ing enumerated as one OF the cities Of
Utah Where the preachers declare po-
lygamy is sim being practlced. The
Standard. however does not agree with
the minister's either as 20 the preva.

or In the wisdom Of the agitation
which they are endeayoring to excite.
il IL OF the opinion that the attacks
OF the ministers and their sensational
statements are more likely to provoke
a revival Of that which they pretend to
denounce than to accomplish any good
pose. The STANDARD closes with a very
pertinent article on this subject with
the following sentences which are COM
mended to the preachers and editors
who are engaged in stirring up strife TO
the injury of this growing State.

NAVIGATING SAINTS.

The arrival Of q company OF Nor
mon" emlgrants from Europe with sew
eral Elders returning from missions
has been noticed by the newspapers In
many parts OF the country and an
nounced in press dispatches to the ef-
feet that the Elders had brought theR
here as converts to the faith This
statement is little misleading, and
fosters the false impression that Nor
mon" missionaries are engaged In the
work OF inducing people abroad TO come
to Utah.
II is very doubtful whether any OF
the people in the company that IS on
It's way here have been recently con-
verted to "Mormonism" Probably
they are all, or nearly all, old members
of the Church who have been for years
saving the means necessary to pay their
way to Utah. where they have friends
ready to receive them and render them
such aid as may be needful New con-
verts to the faith are not urged, as is
popularity supposed, to come 10 this
country and take up their abode in this
State
II is true that the gathering Of the
Saints from all parts OF the world to
Zion Is part OF the work Of the last
dlspensation. When people In any
country receive in their hearts the
spirit OF the Gospel as restored to earth
in the latter days, with the conviction
and divine testimony Of It's truth comes
a desire to gather with the people Of
God and unite with them In the build
ing up Of His kingdom But many OF
them have 10 linger for years in the
countries that gave them birth until
they can accumulate sufficient money
TO pay their way to the bosom Of the
Church When they do succeed In their
efforts they usually travel in company.

who are returning home. This Is for
guidance and protection and also for
economy,
The idea commonly entertained that |
the Elders go abroad with net. to

FOR THE SOLDIERS.

Senator Hansbrough Of North Dako-
ka has proposed two amendments to
the army appropriations bill, which
seem to meet with general favor one
provides for an appropriation Of mil
lion dollars, for the construction and
maintenance Of suitable buildings at
military posts and stations already es-
tablished aud occupied for the conduct
Of the exchange store. school libra "
reading. lunch and amusement rooms,
gymnasium, etc, to be expended in
the discretion and under the direction
of the Secretary Of War
The other proposition is:
Difference between the cost Of the
ration at % cents per day and the
amount OF 27Is cents per day be issued
TO the company or detachment COM
mander OF each company or detach-
ment for each enlisted man while pres
ent for duty with hts command, and to

heretofore accumulated from the profits
Of the canteen, this sum to be separate
and distinct from savings IN the erti-
cles Of the established ration, six hun
dred ana seventy-fve thousand dol
lars
The cantepn question Is not directly
involved In these amendments but they
nevertheless aim at the solution Of that
problem, By providing for the soldiers
suitable places where they can spend
their leisure hours, pleasantly and prof
iably. The proposition Is TO provide
attractive reading rooms, gymnasiums, |
etc. And this cannot but meet with |
general approval
II has been claimed that the canteen
can be abolished II a proper SUBSTITUTE
Is offered, and If this Is true, the ex-
pertinent should be tried The soldier
should first of al be a gentleman. He
