Not His Proper Calling.

The late Bishop Dudley OF Kentucky
was ON a hunting expedition near
Louisville and happened 10 fall in with
local NimcOd whose unconcealed ad-
miration for :he city mans marksrnan-
ship paved he way for further CONVEX
sation.
What's yoIr name?" the country
man finally inquired.

After some change of incident and
experience me bishops interlocutor
hazarded:
Say. Dudley, what business do you

me?"
But I am. preach every Sunday"
"Where?"
I'm Louisville"
Well. never; never would ha'
thought it. You amt stuck up a bit
like most of the preachers down this
way"
An invitation 10 hear this new-made
acquaintance preach was accompanied
by scrubbed cara. and the next sun
day saw the rustic in his Sunday
best" ushered INTO the bishops own
pew. where he listened intently to both
service and sermon.
He was manifestly amazed afterward
to have the orator OF the morning come
down to greet MIN as cordially and fa-
miliarly as in the woods. He managed
to stammer mis- thanks, and added:

a CONSTITUTIONAL OBJECTION.

| 4 y ARGUMENT often heard and
Il often luoicd against the proposed
bond issue COR TIE purpose of carrying
/ out the water plans prepared by the
special committee in charge Of the mat
| ter, is that hat city should buy the
lands irrigated by the Big Cottonwood
water, then bring the water for those
lands down f~om Utah lake and sell
the lands with the water. On its face
the plan looks like good one. provided
enough mOney to put it through could
be raised. But there is a constitutional
objection 20 *. II is found in Section
6 of Article II, and reads:
NO municipal corporation shall, di-
rectly or indirectly, lease sell, alien or
dispose of any waterworks, water
rights, or sources CT water supply now,
or hereafter To be owned or controlled
by it; but all such waterworks, water
rights and sources of water supply now
owned or hereinafter t. be acquired by
any municipal corporation, shall be
preserved, maintained and operated by
il for supplying its inhabitants with
water at reasonable charges; provided,
that nothing herein contained shall be
construed to prevent any such munich
pal corporation from exchanging water
rights, or sources of water supply. for
other water rights or sources of wa
ter supply of equal value, and to be
devoted in IKE manner 70 the public
supply of The Inhabitants
Cities. it Will be seen. are expressly
forbidden to sell any part of their wa
ter supply. Could this city. after buy
ing the land irrigated by Big Cotton
wood water, ana after bringing down
the water from Utah lake for it, sell
the Utah lake water with the land?
Could the land be sold without the
water? These are questions that those
who are opposing the city administra-
tion's water Ulans must consider and
answer. Il is quite true that the Utah
constitution aas been evaded heretofore
notably i'm the salary grab instances
but can il be evaded again?
And do the people want to undertake
a proposition involving an expenditure
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
without being absolutely sure Of their
ground?

TIE CZAR'S UKASE.

4 BOUT THH ONLY comfort the
~ Zems1voIs.s ana tn- Deople they
represent cal get out Of the ukase Of
the car lies in the fact that the car
IS willing to discuss the reforms they
urge. The uk7se itself may mean any
thing OF nothing. The language is am
biguous 20 he last degree. Everything
depends upon the Interpretation that
viii be PLACED on it by the council Of
ministers. The council Will refer the
various subjects - committees for in
vostigation.
If these Committees desire earnestly
to promote substantial reforms it viii
not take them long to formulate such
reports as viii please the people. If.
on the other ha.d. the council OF min
listers desires % delay the reforms or
10 prevent them entirely, any reports
can be delayed for an indefinite period.
The government commits itself abso-
lutcly TO no proposition whatever.
It is true that vague suggestions are
made that some reforms ought to be
instituted. Notable among these are
revision OF the drastic laws extending
the discreti2lary powers of the adj
ministrative authorities, state insur-
ance for working men, equal standing
for all classes in the courts. the eX-
tension Of local and municipal self-gov-
eminent, religious freedom. revision of
the laws govecnng the rights of for
eigners and a freer press. That these
reforms wo1lI be Of immense benefit
10 the people there is no doubt, but
that there IS any prospect Of their early
institution s doubtful. indeed.
Any reforms in Russia VIII have to
be put in COR e gradually. Close stu
dents OF Russian conditions agree that
the people are not yet prepared for
constitutional government Any people
who would joopardize all they are ask
ing for by noting on the eve of
decision as 20 the justice Of their de-
mands. have hardly the balance which
is ordinarily considered necessary to
sane constitutional government.
1t is quite ossible that the Moscow
riots Of few days ago had some in
fluence in mixing the cars ukase so
indefinite. .'ha ruler is less willing 10
relinquish mis- iron despotism when he
sees his subjects thus conduct them
seives.

Keene letter only goes to prove the
statement male by Lawson. Says the
indignant Mr.. Keene:
My only connection with the rise and
FAN Of Amalgemated Copper was the
sale by me sor account Of Mr.. H. II.
Rogers and his associates of So, 0OO, 900
at prices ranging from 80 to 90, and at
a period shortly before the advance to
l25. 1 undertook it with reluctance, as
a nominal quotation of 80, with few
tragmentary transactions, represented
all the market then for it,"
In other words Mr.. Keene actually
did wash" the stock. Whether or not
he undertook he transaction with ere
luctance" is entirely beside the ques-
ton. The only point worth consider
ing is that be did undertake it and
carry it out. Perhaps it viii be as well
at this time o explain to the unin-
fuated public what a wash" sale is
Briefly, it is exactly like taking money
out Of one pocket and putting it into
another POCKET belonging to the same
person.
Such transa etions are engaged in for
the purpose of making the public be-
lieve that there is a demand for the
stock manipulated. In this case a Rog-
ers broker sold to another Rogers bro
ger so. 000, 900 worth Of Amalgamated
! Copper stock. Mr. Keene himself says
that prior 10 this transaction there
were only fra smentary transfers. There
was no demand for the stock, even at
80 But the Fictitious sales led the pub
lie to believe that Amalgamated was
| . good thing.
The public IS Invariably bullish. It
likes to get IN on a rising market and it
usually gets il at the top. This was
the case with &c Amalgamated. When
it reached l25 and higher the wise men,
Mr.. Rogers and his associates, did not
make any more wash" sales. They
made genuine transfers to the lambs
and then stood eat from under. The
result was a collapse Of Amalgamated,
but the Rogers outfit had netted some
MILLIONS.
Meanwhile we fail 10 see what COM
plant or action Nj. Keene has against
Mr.. Lawson.

THE STATEHOOD BILL.

90 LITTLE ATTENTION, it seems
! to us, has been paid to the state
mood bill nov pending before the SEN
ATE The measure, as is generally I'M
oerstood, provides for the admission of
Arizona and New Mexico as one state
and Of Indian Territory and Oklahoma
as another. What is not so generally
understood IS the opposition to the
measure. Governor Brodie of Arizona
Tor example, has gone on record as say
ing that he would rather POSTPONE
statehood FOR Arizona indefinitely than
TO accept the pending measure. He
would even promise not to ask for
statehood again for ten years.
Those who are advocating the pas
sage Of the bill freely admit that il
could not become a law If the consent
or Arizona were required 1t is said
and not denied, that if the question
could be put TO a vote, from ninety TO
hinety-fiye Der cent Of the people Of
Arizona would cast their ballots
against it. The late Republican candi-
cate for dele gate 10 congress from
Arizona, b. A.. Flower. places the adj
verse vote at from ninety-fve to ninety
eight per cent Of the total.
Reports from New Mexico indicate
that majority Of the voters there are
in favor Of the bill, but the federal
office holders an oppose it on the ground
that New Mexico is entitled to separ-
ate statehood. The chief objections
raised to the measure are that the ad
ministration Of the affairs Of the new
state would Se extremely difficult and
expensive, ana that the population is
not only radicaII- different but radi-
cally antagOnIstic. A majority of the
residents Of New Mexico are Mexicans
or half-bree1s. In Arizona most of the
citizens are Americans.
The state of Arizona-Ne Mexico
would contain an area as great as that
of New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio and
Virginia combined. This gives an idea.
OF the difficulty Of administration. And
then the eternal jangling between the
people. Aside from all this. Arizona, at
least, is entitled to statehood by all
rules and fairness II has more popu-
lation and Is better equipped in every
way for self-sovernment than many Of
the present states were when they
were admitted. 1t would soon be an
ornament in the group of states com
prising the far west
Tn ;he matter Of Indian Territory and
Oklahoma not 50 many objections have
been raised, ont Ii is known that the
people there. TOO. prefer coming in as
sta-e.. We can see no earthly
reason for passing a measure that is
so violently objected TO by those who
are most concerned.

Spohr's concerto. She played in better
form than she had ever played before IN
Indianapolis-with absolute certainty OF
herself, with ar noble tone and fluent bowling
that left nothing TO be desired. She was
compelled to give two encore numbers IN
response to the outburst of applause which
greeted her.
Miss Atkins repeated her success of the
afternoon, as did Mrs. Edmunds. The con-
tralto sang a group of sweet songs by
Schumann, Schubert and Chaminade, giving
each with fine taste and expression. The
soprano was heard TO great advantage in
the aria from Der Freschuetz," her clear,
high tones ringing out with compelling
power. She gave as her encore number

work in the evening than at the matinee

chorus from THE Messiah was sung in an

To Cook Rhubarb.

New York Tribune.
Many fine stalk of rhubarb is spoiled
by being put on the front of the range and
boiled as if ii were a mess of spinach or
potatoes. The result is a sort of hasty pud-
ding, in which every section of the delicate
fruit loses it's identity and juice and SUBJ
stance are mixed in unsightly confusion.
Rhubarb should be cooked slowly and care
fully, each section being kept distinct and
shapely and without the loss of much color.
The red ends Of the stalks are the choicest
and give the finest color. Although rhu-
barb is so cheap to buy. it is one of the
dearest fruits TO cook, as ii requires so
much sugar to make it appetizing. 1t is
false economy to stew it with soda, as
is done by some housewives. or to par
boil it in one water and then stew it in an
other, with the notion that the first water
has removed the acidity. Soda simply kills
the life of the fruit. leaving ii fiavorless and
fiat The same thing happens in using two
waters. Ideal rhubarb sauce presents a
mngling of acid and sweet that is as de-
lcous as any of the more pretentious
preserves.
