RUSSIA RECEDES.

Russia and Great Britain have COM
posed their differences over the Ma
lacca affair, and the former has agreed
10 waive the right OF search. Thus
an awkward situation Is got over and
an incident that might have led TO
most serious consequences has been set
tied. This Is very much better ar
rangement that TO fly to arms, q thing
that a portion Of the London press was
most anxious to do. 1t was owing to
the moderation and good sense of the
British foreign Office that there was
no such resort TO retallatory measures.
Russia can scarcely have abandoned
the right OF SEARCH as recognized by
international law. ALRIGHT claimed by
every civilized nation and recognized by
ALL The officers OF the Smolensk and
st. Petersburg seem to have lacked dis
erection In their exercise Of this right
and 10 have gone to extremes,
The status OF the volunteer fleet
seems to have been another matter that
caused Russia to repudlate the action
Of her cruisers. Their status as part OF
the volunteer fleet, appears to be of
very doubtful nature. so doubtful that
It cannot be determined off hand, That
the converted merchantmen We're pir-
ates IL not true; the simple fact that
they flew the Russian flag makes that
impossible. That Russia may have
committed a grave breach Of interna-
tlonal law is very possible. The incl
dent OF passing armed cruisers, dis
guised as merchantmen, through the
Dardanelles, will scarcely occur again.
That Russia was not trying to In"
volye Great Britain alone or at all Ia
shown by the fact that towards German
vessels she acted as she did towards
British ones. She undoubtedly thought
she was clearly within her rights In
both cases, and sought to Involve no
one. To have done so at this time would
have been suicidal.
Happily the incident is closed with no
likelihood Of It's repetition, That there
may be no possibility Of tbs, the volun-
toer fleet steamers 5molensk and St.
Petersburg have been ordered home
instructions for them to return having
been cabled.

WOMEN I'm POLYGAMY."

The Caldwell, Idaho Tribune has taxi
en- a very conservative and considerate
position on the questions that have been
raised for factlonal purposes, in that
State relating to the Mormon" people.
We take from its columns a portion Of
a long and earnest editorial, in which
it reasons, calmly but pointedly, on the
situation OF those Mormon" women
who are yet in the polygamous relation,
and says:
Go, you who doubt the sincerity Of
those women, witness their devotlons
and listen to their prayers, They are
as devout as you can be, they are as
steadfast as you can be; they are as
certain of Immortality and a day Of
judgment as you can be- they appeal To
the same God that you do they look
for an eternal home In the same heaven
that you hope TO dwell In. Their God Is
your God their Christ is your Christ;
their glory is your glory. Their faith Is
sufficient unto death. Is yours any
greater or fuller?
"NcW, good and noble women OF Ida
no. you who contemplate a crusade
against polygamy you whose natures
are outraged by this awful social evil,
you are inspired by a zeal for the eman-
cipatlen Of your sex and the publication
of the home. But before being over
wrought in zeal you must try to realize
that poygamous women regard their
homes as just as pure as yours and
think that It is you, not they who need
emancipation. II given the opportun-
lty they would not change places with
you. because they believe that whatever
OF trials they may have undergone,
whatever OF hardship they may have
suffered, whatever OF sacrifice they may
have made Is all accounted 20 them
as righteousness before God, making

An INTERRUPTED Lesson.

This story Is told OF q Washington

make clear to his class the fundamental
doctrines of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence
Nov, boys" he said. II viii give
YOU each three ordinary buttons. Here
they are. You must think OF the first
one as representing Life, OF the second
one as representing Liberty and the
third one as representing the Pursuit
OF Happiness. Next Sunday l win ask
you each TO produce the three buttons
and tell me what they represent"
The following Sunday I'm accordance
with his plan, the teacher Intercepted
his class on the subject OF the buttons.
Now, Johnnie" he said to the
youngest member, produce your three
buttons and tell me what they stand
for" Whereupon the youngster began
to weep.

ALIEN CRIMINALS.

Commissioned General OF Immigra-
ton Sargent has just made a report on
the number OF aliens In confinement in
penal and charitable institutions In the
United States during the first four
months Of the present year, II deals
only with those aliens who have been
In the country less than FIVE years, II
shows a rather startling condition OF
affairs.
According TO this report there are
confined in the institutions covered by
II $500 males and 1888 females, all Of
whom have not become citizens OF the
United states. OF this number 1895
are imprisoned for grave oftenses, 5,GS6
for minor crimes while 2O,s29 are insane
and ll,6O4 are paupers, or the whole
number A,797 were confined for life and
l0,il2 for more than two years In
state intitutions there are 2S,5iS per-
sons, l4,S70 in county institutions, s.
S5S In private hospitals and go In fed
eral institutions. New York leads In
the percentages, with Boston next and
Philadelphia third
This certainly is anything but deslr-
able immigration, and shows, what
everybody knows that foreign coun-
tries dump many criminals upon our
shores Nor can any law, no matter
how stringent and how rigdly enforced
entirely prevent their landing. Abso-
lutte prohibition OF immigration alone
could prevent that thing not to be
thought OF for single moment
The number who are In for
life is very large, and their
crimes must have been helnous to have
received such punishment. An analysis
Of them would be interesting and prob
ably will be made as the investigation
is being continued. What shall be done
to remedy this condition of affairs?
II is the same question that has to be
dealt with everywhere, the question of
crime. Eliminate these alien criminals
and the country would still be con-
ii'h''N WIN tNt libbltll Allu llH Eolu-
ton would be just as dlhicult but It
would be lessened to the extent Of their
number AS yet none OF these alien
criminals have become citizens and
II the courts can know their records
they will not. Something I'm the way
Of solving the problem In their par
ticular cases might be done by ship
ping them back to the land whence
they came, for this country is under
no obligation to harbor and care for the
criminals Of other lands. In this regard
the findings and recommendations Of
Mr. Sargent will be awaited with in
terest. They should enable Congress
to take some intelligent action in the
premises, and do away with what is a
truly startling condition Of affairs.

PICKETS AND STRIKE.BREAK-

The shooting OF FIVE union plckets by

PIONEERS DAY.

The entrance Of the Pioneers Of AZ
into Salt Lake valley hfty-seVen
years ago was nttngy celebrated to-
day. This anniversary should be OBJ
served perpetually. The day marks an
epoch in the history Of the Great West.
while II closed marvellous journey Of
a devoted and heroic band, It com
menced the redemption Of this vast re-
gIon from sterility, and desolation. 1t
was the beginning Of irrigation on the
western slope OF the Rockies, and In
demonstrating its possibilities II gave a
pointer TO the whole country where
rains are unknown or infrequent,
showing what could be done in the cul-
tlvation Of arid and semi-arld lands.
That wonderful Journey over unin-
hablted plains and mountains TO spot
comparatively unknown, for the pur-
pose of founding an empire In a desert,
OF providing an asylum for rejected
religious body, where they could live
and worship God without molestation,
where they could establish Zion and
rear their temples in peace. should be
remembered and celebrated through all
generations 1t not only opened the
way for the Latter.day Saints Of all
nations and cImes to gather to the
bosom OF their Church but 1t rendered
possible the settlement Of surrounding
territory by civilized people, and the
organization Of commemorative which
have enriched the nation and added to
the glorious stars in the constellation
OF the United States.
1t Is a day of days. II should
be honored by all the citizens
OF the Pacific slope. It does
not and should not detract In the least
from the celebration Of the nations
birthday. There is no rivalry between
the Fourth and the Twenty fourth Of
July. They are close relations and inn
bued with a kindred spirit The Pio-
neers were patriots. They brought
with them the flag OF their country and
unfurled It to the mountain breeze when
this ground was Mexican soil,
They were American citizens. They
revered the Constitution OF the United
States and desired to live under It's
principles and protection. They took the
earliest opportunity to seek for admls-
sion into the Union and whether as a
Territory or as a State, the builders of
Utah and their followers and posterlty,
