JAPs TAKE MUKDEN.

Russians have been forced to abandon
their strong positions around that city.

The achievements Of the japanese as
fighters have been startling revela-
ton to the world. The Russians have

they have had. But the Japs have

provisions In II which were viowed by
some critics as unconstitutional, and
others thought TO be unadyisable. All
these have been remedled, either by
elimination OF the Objectionable sections
or clauses, or the substitution for them
Of provisions against which nothing
could be- urged IN reason
The bin az II now stands Is a codlfca-
ton or unlncation OF a number OF pro-
visions Of law an relating to the one
subject but touching on separate and
particular points that some persons
might regard as requiring separate en-
actmonts. But the measure compre-
hensye as 1t Is, having been framed in
the manner In which It has passed, be-
comes unobiectionable for any reason
OF that kind. We are Of the opinion
that when It is carefully read and fully
understood It win receive the approy-
al OF the people Of this state, no mat
ter what may be their occupation or
special interests. practical liberal
and constitutional irrigation law such
os we believe the present measure 10
be, Is a priceless boon to a state which
depends on the use Of water upon arid

crops, or fruit or vegetation Of any

reputation for it's work IN nlbduIng the

now THEY VIEW IT.

The press comments on the TRADE
read so mlserably in the United States
Senate by Thomas Kearns, are not very
numerous, and the evident ohagrln
and spite Of the writer and the reader
Of the attack on the Mormon" Church,
are perceived by the papers that notice
the effort The following editorial in
the Topeka (Kansas) Daily Herald
puts the genera view Of the matter
tersely and briefly;
Senator Kearns of Utah vigorously
denounced the Mormons a few DAYS
before the close OF the session Just
passed He was closing his term as
Senator rs his state refused to re-elect
him. Untll three months ago he had
been working In unison with the Nor
mons II Yves the Mormon element
that elected him IN the first place.
When Senator Kearns, however, found
he had lost the Mormon support he
forthwith turned upon them IN denun-
citation The Mormous may be as bad
as the Senator says and they may be
worse but Il is four years since Kearns
was made a United states Senator ana
during all that time and until tho
present he had no criticisms to m Ike
upon the people who created him pollt-
ically,
Senator Kearns attitude Is mem
toned here, not because there Is any

LOSS BY WAR.

According TO figures collected by the
New York World Russia has lost In the
present war no less than 100000 men,
not counting tho losses IN the latest
engagements. About $4,000 men died
IN hospitals or were inyallded home,
and 10000 are supposed TO have been
killed on the various battlehelds, $500
OF the naval force are added TO those
who have persisted, making total Of
about 100000 men sacrificed on the al
tar OF Mars. And to this number must,
further be added the thousands that
now have been slain around Mukden,
the most sangulneary battle Of the war.
In order to realize what this means,
It must be remembered that these lOO,-
900 men are OF the very strength and
flower of the population. only those
who are physically strong and sound
are drafted into the army The weak,
the deformed, those least ut to carry

some, that wars have tendency to
make nations strong and rugged. But
the fact Is that the French nation to-
day Is less vigorous than It was before
the Napoleonic wars, for the simple
reason that the strong ana healthy
were killed of. SO one OF the worst
features OF war Is the fact that 1t
drains nations Of their strength and
manhood and leaves them enfeebled
and demoralized
If Russlas rul RS were wise, they
would give llbert, to the country and
encourage immigration to its vast ter
ritory, in order TO obtain, from other
nations, compensation for the loss OF
men sustained. That would DO the
quickest way to recovery.

RETRAcE THE MIssTEP.


The failure of tho House to adopt
the majority report on the bill ex-
tending the right OF eminent domain
TO cities, for the purpose Of obtaining
n sufficient water supply for their Inc
habtants, we regard as n great mis-
take which, ~ possible, should be re-
traced no as to prevent the bad effects
which win result unless change Is
made. There were some features OF
the bill, or bills, as at nrst introduced
which, no doubt created q prejudice
against the measure that could not be
easily removed.
There was also a suspicion IN some
minds that Salt Lake city was en-
deavoring to obtain some special benefit
at the expense of Individuals or COM
panes. That was entirely unfounded.
There are other cities equally concern
ed IN the natter And as the bill
which received a majority support from
the committee to which It was referred,
was 80 framed that no one could be
injured by lts opemtIon but great good
depended upon it's enactment we think
its opponents were actuated more by
the prejudice to which we have allud-
ed, and the opinions Of constituents
who have never Investigated SO as to
understand the purpose and provisions
of the bills, than by that consistent ana
liberal spirit which characterl2es true
craftsmanship
The welfare Of This city, which some
members appeared TO think was the
sole object OF the bin, Is to large
extent the welfare Of the state. and
the absurd jealousy In regard to any
thing that relates TO the upbuildng
OF the capital ot Utah, which has often
cropped out IN legislative debates
ought never 10 be entertained, and we
hope viii at no distant date be en-
tirely bonished from the legislative
mind.
We cannot see why the right OF em-
inent domain, II exercised at al, should
not apply 10 The acquisition Of water
rights and privileges to supply a pub
JIG necessity as much as TO lands and
their appurtenanccs, which may now
be condemned under provisions OF law
that protect their owners from injus-
tico. The right Of eminent domain
may be exercised under present law
in the condemnation OF almost any
kind Of property for public uses, ON the
payment Of IT'S value and damages 10
the owueG with the exception Of water
rights. These OF course are somewhat
different and Of more far-roaching
value than some other kinds Of pos
session, But they were taken care
of In the measure that has not been
passed and the justification for the
exercise of the power IN question Tor
