Old Confederate soldiers are indulging in
retrospective meditations these days, provoked by
the alacrity of this government in recognizing the
republic set up by the Panama seceders from Co
lombia. No matter how artfully the United States
may interpose treaties to justify its course; no
matter how important an isthmian canal through
Panama is to the trade of nations our action does
not absolve us from the charge of repudiating all
we fought to sustain in the civil war between the
states. If Panama is right in her position, (and
by the federal act of recognition we admit she is
right), then wrong in making war upon
the southern states. 1t is lucky for this country
that our stiffness is not censured by strong ma

The campaign of the ministers and the wo-
mems organizations against the seating of Sena-
tor Smoot has precpitated debate in the United
States senate. Although presenting one of these
anti-Smoot petitions from Massachusetts,, Senator
Hoar stoutly maintained that the question of the
Utah senator's right to seat was purely jus
dicial one and should be treated as judicial mat
ters are treated in the supreme court. Senator
Dubois of Idaho takes issue with Senator Hoar

The optimistic view most people took over the
settlement of the coal strike in Pennsylvania
through commission is obscured now by the coal
strike which affects nearly every mine in Colorado
The strike is complete, no considerable number of
non-union miners offering to take the places of
the strikers 1t seems to us that this Colorado
strike could be settled upon the lines laid down by
the presidents commission; but there was no pro-
posaI for such adjustment of contentious on the
part of the mine owners. Rather did suggestion
meet with opposition. We note that the non-l1niOn
miners of Utah have been given raise in wages
in gratitude for loyalty to their employers If all
employers of labor were as generous there would
be less necessity for unions. But would that
gratitude" be manifest and substantially extended
did no coal miners union exist? 1t looks if
the Utah mine owners baited sprat and caught

Editor Intermountain Catholic:
In this communication the writer has finished
the task which he proposed to himself There are
many points which-have not been touched and
which are of equal Importance to those treated.
Even those treated have not been fully developed.
Much more might be said on the necessity of
generation and how without it man cannot reach
the plane of his destiny The writer does not wish
to be III any way unfair or unjust to Rev. Mr..
Goshen. His new creed has its merits, inasmuch
it is protest against certain rigid doctrines be-
longing to the old Calvanistic school, and which
are contrary to what his reason tells him. The
effects of Adams disobedience which some have
taught led to the total depravity of the human
race; irresistible grace, which would mean that
after conversion the predestned cannot fail to be
numbered among the elect, whilst the reprobated
Ito whom is denied this irresistible grace are des-
tined to lose their souls, are not only exaggera-
tions of orthodox Christianity, but are contraTy
to intrinsic justice and opposed to free will The
writer's effort, however imperfect, to explain the
mysteries was instigated by love of truth and
desire to present Christian teaching not only IN
rational but in its real significance 1t ne has

STARTLING TESTIMONY
ON INSURANCE FRAUDS
Body of Old Man Made to Appear Like
Younger One.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Testimony Of
a startling nature was given by wit
neSses In the examination of one of
the six men under arrest charged with
sWtndling life insurance companies by
substituting bodies, which came up in
the police court today. Joseph Trepani,
the undertaken in the case, was held
by Magistrate Zeller in $4,000 bail to
await the action of the grand jury.
Francis B. Foster, formerly an agent
for the Union Central Life Insurance
company, testified that he had agreed
at TrepanfS suggestion, to swear to
the death Of men insured in the COM
pany while he knew that the body of
some one else had been substituted
Foster said he received sums ranging
from 500 to $500 from Trepani, when
the policies were paid in these cases.
He was first approached by the pris-
oner, CirinO, and, with DR.. oliver
Moore, of the company, examined one
Tromborula, to whom a policy was
issued on their report. Tromborula,
soon after that, was reported dead
and the body substituted, being ex-
humed, the alleged frauds were reveal
ed. DR.. Moore testified that he was
sent to st. MichaePs cemetery by the
insurance company to identify the body
exhumed, which was said to be that of
Tromborula
coffin" said the physician, IT found it
to be that of a much older man than
the man had examined as Tromboru-
la on the day of the issuance of the
policy. The examination of the body
revealed that there were mittens on
the hands. When they were taken
off I saw that the glove had been
stuffed with cotton, and that the right
forearm was missing. The right foot
was also missing. the shoe having been
stuffed with a block of wood shaped
like foot. The lips had been sewn
together so as to conceal the absence
of teeth. The mouth was stuffed with
cotton, causing the cheeks to puff out
and give the body the appearance Of
being that Of much younger man."
Assistant District Attorney Krotel
made public tonight confession made
by Foster detailing the methods pur-
sued by the swindlers. Foster says
that he has been for many years the
chief soliciting agent for the Union
Central Life Insurance company, of
Cincinnati which has a branch office
IN this city. He admits that he made
false ideDtif1cations Of seven bodies and
collected $4,000 Of fraudulent insur-
ance from his company. He also says
that shortly before the death Of the
old man Tromborula the conspirators,
headed by the undertaken, Trepani,
made arrangements to place $4,000 ad-
d1tional insurance on his life.
