A FINAL SETTLEMENT AT HAND

Of Police is likely to be settled speedl-
w. in the only manner by which IL can
be finally disposed Of This ought 10

however, that the Attorney General

The report caused much comment
but any exceptions taken should be set
at rest, when 1t is learned that he has

sci as the City Council may select See
Ing that the City Attorney will have

side, Il WIN be only fair TO the other
side that II should have equal oppor-

Apart from the question Of the Chiefs

PRES. BRIGHAM YoUSG's DEATH

The announcement that President
Brigham Young, Of the Council Of the
Twelve Apostles. had passed away,
caused a feeling OF deep sorrow IN the
hearts Of many thousands Of people
when the sad news was circulated on
Sunday. Particulars Of his life and
sickness and death are given IN another
part OF this issue Of the Deseret News
Our departed friend aud brother was
well known and esteemed throughout
these mountain wales. and among many
people In different parts Of the earth.
He has Travelled extensively and minis
tered in many nations He has visited
every Stake Of Zion from Canada to
Mexico. and also the different states of
the Union and. repeatedly, the British
Isles and the countries Of continental
Europe,
His cheerful disposition, his kindly
counsels his unfalterlng faith, his fer
vent spirit his faithful testimony and
his answering integrity and devotion
to the work In which he followed his
Iliustrious father who also closely fol-
lowed the Prophet Joseph Smith. en-
deared him to his associates in the min
istry and to the Latter-day Saints
throughout the world.
OF intrepid character he knew no fear.
OF exceptionally strong physique, In his
younger days, he felt no fatigue, or
lnspirational mind he reached the
truth more by intuition than by
the slow process Of logical deduction,
and he grasped the nature Of a question
or a situation with Qulckness and a
tenacity, that sprang from divine inn
pressIons to soul keyed to their re-
eeption.
His Illness for many months prepared
his friends for his decease, so that the
shock did not come with that violence
that a sudden demise causes to the
public mind. aYet a sentiment Of sor-
row prevails that he has gone from
among us. and that we shall see his
cheerful face and hear his pleasant
voice no more In this life. lie desired
10 live that he might labor for Zion.
Not many days ago he expressed to this
writer wish that he might spend ten or
htteen years more in this world, for he
saw SO many opportunities Of doing
good. But he bowed to the divine will,
and he is called to minister on the 9th
er side of the VEIL
With his numerous family and imme-
dlate friends We deeply sympathlze in
this hour Of their afliiction. Those who
waited upon him so patiently and kind.
~ during his final illness deserve the
warmest praise, for they were untlrlng
IN their attention to his wants and
watched over him with asslduous sollc-
itude. All Israel will mourn his depart
ure and remember him with honor and
affection. He win be greeted where he
mas gone with joy, and will contine HIS
Mes work In the companonship Of the
immortals, who lived and died in the
great cause of human redemption.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.

According to the Manila Times, the
situation in the Philippines is not par.
ticularly promising, The inhabitants
In Manila are very largely dlscontent-
ed. They are suppressed, but they are
only waiting for an opportunity OF
breaking out. The people still 90 wild

In view of the prevailing temper the

sary to be careful 1t is just ques-
ton, that paper thinks, whether
our government, busled with its beneyo-
lence and lulled into security In the

the real temper Of the multitude; and
we believe that as a rule II would be
the last to discern any of those symp-
toms which arouse In the ordinary in
dlyidual u vague feeling Of disquiet and
apprehension"
The paper very much doubts wheth-
er the majority OF the Filipinos com.
prehend, or appreciate, the kindly atti-
tude Of the Americans toward them.
Probably they do not. Like most orlen-
tails, that have been reared for genera
lions under oppression and slavery,
they appear to be children in many
respects. They are guided by emotions
rather than reason, and In time of
stress, even though their reason might
counsel restraint and adherence 10 the
conditions that be- they would be apt
to be carried away by passion. But
that Is no reason why this country
should cast them adrift What the
Filiplnos need Is proper training, And
that thew are receiving. The results
may not be all that the most sanguine
may have expected, bus they have been
marked enough to warrant hope for the
not distant future.
President Roosevelt In his address at
Fargo, N. D., summarized the condl-
lions in the islands as follows:
AT the present time the civil govern
ment Is supreme, and the army In the
Philippines has been reduced until II Is
sufficient merely to provide against the
recurrence Of trouble. In Governor Taft
and his associates we sent to the Phil
lipplnes as upright, as conscientious
and as able a group of administrators
as ever any country has been blessed
with having. With them and under
them we have associated the best men
among the Filpinos. so that the great
majority OF the officials, including many
of the highest rank. are themselves ma.
tives OF the islands. The adminlstra-
tion IS incorruptlbly honest justice is
as jealousy safeguarded as here at
home. The government is conducted
purely In the interests OF the people OF
the islands; they are protected In their
religious and civil rights: they have
been given an excellent and well adj
mnistered school system, and each Of
them now enjoys rights TO 'llfe. liber-
~ and the pursuit OF happiness" such
as were never before known in all the
history of the islands"
