FOR DENoMINATIoNAL UNITY.

According 10 a report from Baltl-
more, Md, Or, Paul Haupt, known for
his connection with the so-called poly
chrome Bible" has conceived the idea
OF unifylng all the sects Of the world,
by proving to them that they have no
ground for the differences IN creed He
says he has come to the conclusion that
oreedal differences among denomna-
tlons are caused by the fact that Ger.
tain passages IN the Bible have been
perslstently mislnterpreted 1T is my
purpose" he adds, ito examine all
these passages from the point of view
OF modern criticism ana archaeology,
using the original Hebrew text, and
show the people that there Is absolute
ly nothing in their differing yiews-that
their standard of comparison Is entirely
wrong, / shall get leading opponents
OF differing denominations TO expound
TO me the tenets OF their oreeds and
shall then go TO the original Hebrew or
Greek text, get the correct version OF
the passage upon which their differ
ences are based, and shall then submit
my findings to an international COM
mittee which viii decide on their va
lidity"
That work would, no doubt, be very
useful, in determining the reading and
correct meaning of number OF scrip
turo passages that have remained
cloudy since the early days OF scient-
ia research on the field Of theology 1t
would be found In the light OF modern
discoveries, that number Of texts are,
as now read, entirely misunderstood,
and that others are but very imperfect.
ly comprehended, DR.. Haupt would
therefore render the religious world a
great service by causing critical and
impartial re.eXamination OF all disput-
cd passages; but that would not unite
the various denominations, Christian
unity is not only a matter Of creed but
of submission, IN humility, to the d.
vine authority Az long as men and
women are ambitious OF their own

THE CANAL QUESTION.

Senator Morgan Is said to be impa-
tlent because the President IL not COM
mencing negotiations With Nicaragua
about the canal. He seems to take the
view that the negotiations with Colon
bla are closed and cannot be taken up
again. and that the only alternative
now is the Nicaragua route
But the fact Is that Colombia Is pre-
pared to take up the negotiations again
on the basis OF larger monetary con-
sideration for the concessions desired.
The Colombians ask for $25,O00,0OO In
stead OF ten They are not TO be blam-
ed. we suppore, for trying to drive the
best bargain possible. They need money
badly.
There is no occasion TO hurry the mat
ter 1t liz believed that Colombia VIII,
in the end accept the American terms,
and II the Panama route IS deemed the
best OF those proposed, It is worth
spending little time on before the
final disposition Is taken, Great enter
prlses always are subject TO delays,
and year or two of negotiations may
prove well spent.

THE REASON WHY.

The Worcester, Mass Evening Ga
zette, OF recent date takes up the ques-
ton OF the alleged similarity between
the Barezovski In Russia and the Nor
mons in America, touched upon
short time ago by the Deseret News.
After quoting from our columns
number OF paragraphs showing the rad
ical differences between the doctrines Of
the Beiezoysxl and the principles Of
"Mormonlsm,' the Gazette closes with
the following
1T is TO be regretted that the Mormon
Church Is Obliged so often to renounce
polygamy as part OF their faith ana
practice. why viii the public not un-
derstand so simple proposition after
IL has been repeated again and again?
Is there good reason?
We share In the regrets expressed BY
the Gnzette thar there should be- at this
late date. any necessity for reiteratng
the statement that the Mormon"
Church Is neither preaching nor proc.
ticlng polygamy as defined and prohib-
tied by law. But that necessity arises
from the continual attacks made by
preachers and writer's for the press, IN
which the Mormon" Church is charg.
ed with bad faithn and lawless con-
duct In the incubation and solemnlza-
tion Of plural marriages When the
enemies Of the Church cease their false

GERMS IN ICE.

A good many people suppose that
germs lmbedded in Ice would lose their
power to do harm, in short time In
vestlgators OF that subject once came to
the conclusion that typhoid germs In
Ice taken from contaminated water be-
came harmless after month, or even
less, and It was supposed that ice
three weeks old is sanitarily as safe as
well filtered water But the expert
ments by Or. Hutchings and DR..
Wheeler at the ST Lawrence state hos
pltal seem TO show that the typhoid
bcclll may live for many months in
the Ice perhaps indefinitely and be-
come active again when entering the
human system. Referring to the in
vestgatlon and the report on IT, the
Boston Medical and Surgical journal
makes this observation:
",rhls piece of careful work should
be widely read, II Is apparently a
justification for the opinion, long the
oretically held, that under certain ia
voring conditions ice may be definite
and dangerous source OF typhoid fever
and should lead to definite precautions
against the spread of the disease from
this source. Although the work Of
the Boston board OF health was APP
parently conclusive so far as Il went,
this new experience Mt Ogdensburg
should suggest further experiment in
which the natural conditions are as

1t is clear that II there is danger
from infection by ice the Ice supply Of
cities needs looking after as much as
the water or the milk supply.
