As TO PREMONITIONS.

A writer in the New York Press,
speaking Of the late Chicago dis
aster, says that some people
have had narrow escapes from
death on account OF 'prcmoni-
tions." He mentions one lady friend
Of his who says she has been in three
theaters just before they burned down,
but she had forewarning Of impend-
ing danger, and needed Il. She de-
scrlbCs the sensation in this way.
There was something IN the air.
A cold breath as II draught had sud
denly been created, indicated 10 me
that there was approaching danger.
quietly withdrew long before there was
any suggestion Of flames. My mother
Was often influenced In the same way
Another instance Is also mentioned.
At the time OF the Brooklyn horror,
the first man TO leave the theater re-
mained outside. whats the matter?'
said an acquaintance; don't like the
piece" VERY much" was the reply.
"but / somehow or other can't feel
comfortable. feel like a haunted
house. II | were superstltIous I'd be-
llcyc something bad is going 10 hap
pen around here-an explosion. rail-
road disaster, q shipwrcck or that sort
Of thing"
Some would call this superstition
They always call every evidence Of
a spiritual world behind the curtain
that limits our physical vision, super
stltion. They do not want any such
evidence But II is nevertheless q
fact that Socrates, a cage who can
not consistently be charged with su.
perstltion, firmly believed In the pres
ence on many occasions Of an invisible
guardian who warned him OF impend-
ing danger. That much humbug Is In
dulged In and advantage taken of the
credulity of some people, cannot be de-
MED, but It would be folly to character
ize all impressions evidently intended
as warnings as humbug. 1t Is wise to
acknowledge that there are more things
between heaven and earth than phil
osophy has dreamt Of

WAS IT WEAK. OR WISE?

That there are different ways Of
viewing the same matter and that
opposing opinions may be entertained
with sincere conviction, on important
points Is evident from the expressions
OF different persons on the action OF
the police department in reference to
the mob movement on Friday night
As stated on the first page OF the
Deseret News on Monday night
there are some people who think the
permission given to a number Of the
car men to look through the city jail,
that they might be assured that Shock
ley the murderer had been removed,
was bad feature OF the murder cap
ture," and "a display of weakness
on the part OF the police. Others re-
gard II as q mark Of sound discretion,
and concession that saved a con-
fict which might have resulted in tur-
mol and disorder II not further loss
of life.
The crowd that gathered around the
building was furious and bent on mis-
chief. Was the surreptitious removal
Of the prisoner "a display of weak
ness" or n mark OF wisdom? II It was
wise TO 'sneak" him away from dan
ger was II not also wise TO let the
wrathful multitude know that he was
beyond their reach? We admit that the
police had authority TO arrest the men
who came there demanding the pris-
oner, and also TO resist the mob, even
30 the extent OF firing upon them II
they attempted violence, But "discre-
tion is the better part Of yalor" IN
many instances, and IN this case prov
ed the most prudent quality to exercise,
II Is easy to find fault, and there
Is disposition always TO criticize pub
lie officials. but II is only fair to weigh
well the motives as we'll as the acts
of men, public and private, before We
pronounce judgment upon them. There
viii be a difference of opinion on the
subject in question II II Is viewed from
different standpolnts. The result shows
that the course taken to prevent a
lynching and riot was conservative
and shrewd, and brought about the
desired effect in the quickest ana sa-
fest manner.

THE JEWISH QUESTION.

Fortunately, the threatened massa-
ere Of Russian Jews Mt KIshineff on the
TN Of this month did not take place,
The world was spared the horror Of
another outburst OF ianaticsm But
the Hebrew question is far from solved,
II IL claimed that massacres are OF fire.
Quent occurrence In Russia, although
only the worst cases are ever reported
10 the rest OF the world,
Mr. Arnold White has an article In
the North American Review on this
question. lie is authority on II, for
he has given II much patient study lie
has Investigated the condition Of the
Russian Jews, and had numerous in
teryiews with them, and with the Lead
ers OF the Russian government. He
Is well qualified 70 speak on the subject
Mr. White considers the question one
Of international Importance, for the
persecution OF Hebrews In Russia has
It's influence upon the cost OF living In
London and New York, where 80 many
refugees yearly land. Russia, England,
and the United States ought therefore,
he thinks, hold q conference on the
jewish question, and solve IT, The So.
luton would In his opinion, be for
Russia to furnish land and the other
countries money for the emancipation
and redemption OF the race, Money, he
thinks, would not be lacking, could a
plan be agreed upon, There are the
IIlrsch millions, Many wealthy Jews
would also contribute, and 30 would
many christians" all over the world.
The idea ls practical, Only Russia
has not now time for conferences. Her
atteftion is occupied by the war clouds

YET HARPING on THE "OATH.

II was not 10 be expected that the
answer Of Senator Reed Smoot would
please his enemies or satisfy the pa
pers that desire 10 unsoat him, actuat-
cd by private malice or political In
trigue, Nor Is II likely that those who
have harped for years upon the charge
that "Mormons' IN receiving cndow-
ment ordinances take a fearful oath
against the government OF the United
States, would feel very cheerful over
the positive announcement that no oath
Of any kind "a administered or taken
IN those ceremonies And, further af-
ter they have reiterated the nonsense,
which has been threshed over 80 re-
peatedly, about the apostolic oath" to
learn that there is no such oath ana
never has been anything Of the sort Is
not very comforting or assuring TO their
cause.

each other and dsproyed by an abund-
ancc Of testimony from reliable wit

and some of whom were seceders from
the Church.
The value Of that decision, on a hear
Ing arranged for the purpose OF pre-
venting "Mormons' from naturalizlng,

election in 1890, may be determined by
the fact that II was not effective af-

DEATH OF JOSEPH BULL.

In the demise Of our esteemed friend
and fellow laborer, Joseph Bull, the
Deseret News has lost an old and
valued worker who has been identified
with it from the beginning, As a
printer, pressman, foreman, advertis.
ing agent and general utility newspa-
per man, he was ever active, vigllant,
anxious 20 advance the interests Of the
paper, and to serve the cause OF truth
as revealed from heaven in the nine
tecnth century, He was a man of very
strong convictions; firm almost to stub
borness when sure that he was right;
sometimes stern when in command yet
kind and tender in his feelings when
occasion required. lie was an effec-
tionate husband and father and a
thoroughly reliable citizen and business
man. In all the years Of his assocla-
ton with this journal, in the different
capacities In which he served so con-

breath OF suspicion against his honor
or honesty He was sound at heart
and sincere in his intent, He has
lived to a good old age but his taking
of was unexpected, for he was Of u
rugged physique and was able TO work
at his trade up to the time, but a few
days ago. when he was seized with
pneumonia and now he has gone to a
brighter and better world, where he will
meet with loved and faithful cont
panion and the good and just who have
gone before" lie will be remembered
long in this community as man Of
strict integrity, an indefatlgable work.

San Francisco Call,

pendous Importance TO the world, and
as It's completion will be so conspicu-
ousy honorable TO this country, why
can We not have truce TO PARTISAN
ship IN the natter II Is evident that
the Democrats in the senate will ratify

take their share of the credit and seek
partisan issues elsewhere than in this
purely external and inter-world mat
ter? The whole country knows that
President Roosevelt will enforce hon
esty In the work, will curb extraya-
gance as far as oversight and foresight
can do IT, and every one knows too that
any president would do the same. So
let Il stand at that and curb this bad
and unpatrlotic tendency TO defame

threatening to burst In the far east.
But even II Russia could be prevailed
upon TO submit the question 10 a con-
ference, which IL not probable, 1t being
an internal question, the result could
not be satisfactory, on the proposed
line OF settlement. The redemption Of
the race Is not to be brought about
by the colonization OF Russia, but
Palestine, An international conference
might be the means OF bringing that
about, and such conference might
consistently be called by the United
states.

custom when DESTROYS Of eyading a rea

their mistakes as to facts or to rea-
soning our irate contemporary asks.
but II the oath had been said to be
against the people OF the United
States instead OF against the Govern
nent' what then?'
Why then" the answer would be
the same, There is no oath OF any
kind or against any people, or person,
or government administered or taken
by the "Mormons," or by any Nor
mon In any ceremony Of the Church.
Further, there Is no covenant, promise.
or obligation OF that nature. This has
been publicly stated many times out
side OF the announcements by the Des-
eret News. President John Il. Winder
and President Anthem H. Lund, at the
last October Conference In the pres
ence Of thousands OF Latter-day Saints
who had received their endowments,
made the most positive assertions to
the same effect us those In this ar
ticle as to the alleged oath" and their
actual covenants, and called them to
witness that what the speakers aiiinn-
ed was true.
As TO the case against Senator SmoOt.
II there Is anything In the Incorrect
utterances Of the bearers Of false wit
