A BAD Blundar.

st. Paul-Members of the state
board OF control made startling dis
covcry, when they got their first look
at the new code of laws.
Standing appropriations Of the state
prison and rcformatory, the three in
sane hospitals, the Red Wing training
school and the institutions ut Fari-
bault and Owatonna seem to be omit
ted from the revision. These appro-
priations have stood for years, and
about covered the running expenses of
the institutions. II they have been
omitted, an extra session of the legis-
laturc must be called ut once, or the
states penal, correctional and chart
table institutions must go out of bust
ness.
Members of the board of control ap-
pealcd ut once to the governor and
attorney general. A conference was
called, and met in tho governors Of
flee. Those present were Governor
johnson, Messrs. Gould, Lcavit and
Rosing of the board of control, George
4. Simpson and {. S. Jelly, assistants
to the attorney general. Attorney
General Young is absent on a vaca-
ton.
The standing appropriations for
state departments for the university
and the normal schools are plainly
cared for in the code, but appropria-
tions estimated at $5sO,OOO for the
other institutions have not been loca-
ted. II they are omitted, it is colos-
sal blundcr. Ten institutions with
hundreds OF employees and thousands
of minutes will have no money for
maintenance.
Receives Medal.
Croollston. Andrew ]. Kelly, a vet
Gran of the Civil war, received a valor
metal from the war department with
which he would not part as soon as he
would release his claim upon his home
stead located four miles east of the
city upon which he has resided for
over IL quarter of u century.
The treasured medal is inscribed,
"sgt. Andrew j. Kelly, Knoxville,
Nov. 90, 1863" and those few words
bring to his mind one of the bloodiest
engagements of the Civil war, during
which be performed a feat for which
he was awarded the valor medal, to-
gether with the five others who parti-
cipated In the gallant deed.
The deed for which the medal was
awarded was volunteering to make
dash from the union lines on the night
of Nov. 60, 'G3 Mt Knoxville with five
other men and burn q three-story

RHYTHMIC CONFESSION.

reference was made in these columns
on Thursday morning. the Deseret
News says. editorially:
II pays the State we'll to support. as far
as consistent with the power vested In
the State, every effort for the reforma-
ton OF criminals, and the extrpation of
criminal tendencies, Punitive measures
arc by no means sufficient. Reformatory
efforts are often more effective. And yet
some governments arc so blind TO the
true interests of tho State as TO harass
and annoy, and even suppress some reli-
which are to induce men and women to
lead better lives Heresy-huntinc has

COOLING AND CONTRACTING.

AS this whrling globe cools and con-
tracts an adjustment of it's periphery
becomes inevitable; at long periods of
time, and where the crust .is least In
forced and more especially where the
crust bears the superimposed weight OF
the oceans waters, tho crumpling ia
most apparent. There Is probably no
connection between the recent flerce
outbreak of Vesuvius and the calamit-
Gus quaking OF the earth on our own
Western coast But with as much pos
itiveness as one may speak OF the mys-
teriouS origin and relation of Cata-
clysmic effects 1t may be assumed that
the tidal waves OF the Pacific and the
earthquake shocks OF Formosa, OF which
the dispatches had hardly ceased to
speak, were premonitory rockings Of
that awful crash which spread its de-
vastation in San Francisco and through
out California, beginning with Wednes-
day morning.
In general, the theory Is accepted at
this time that the particular shock
throughout the coast resulted from that
effort of the earth to reaoiust Its crust
to It's contracting bulk. That no tidal
wave has, at this writing. followed tho
the belief that the movement arose IN
the coast range, but there Ia nothing
significant in that view, and certainly
nothing conclusive in the argument
which is adduced TO support It. The
movement was an expression OF the In
it's sound where presumably the earths
crust bears the greatest weight of
water and Ia the thinest TO support that
weight: VIZ, In the Pacific.
momentous fact. long observed and
many times recorded, Is cited now as
having some relation to the disturb
ances upon our Western shores. The
great oceans OF the earth have been
eating their way into the Western
coasts OF the continents which front
them: and 1t is particularly true OF the
Pacific that 1t has submerged the land
until 1t has reached the base of the
great longitudinal mountain range
which runs from Alaska 10 Cape Horn.
Similarly there has been a recession
Of the seas from the Eastern shores,
showing the long, sloplng plains OF
South America and OF China, stretch
ing from far-dlstant mountain ranges
10 the ocean. An explanation generally
accepted is that the movement Of the
earth tends TO throw the mobile waters
of our globe to the east. making heavier
pressure at weakest points of the earth's
crust.
All this may seem to argue a per-
petual unsafety for San Francisco and
the coast OF California In general. but
the data upon which even the most ad-
vanced scientists must reason arc So
insufficient In matter OF this Kind that
conclusions are arbitrary and even fall
lacious And while the record which
man has kept permits us to assume
conclusively certain great facts, such as
the subsistence OF areas. the eating into
continents. the recession OF seas. yet
no man can more than guess where the
internal forces of the earth Will next
make their expression.

THE TREMENDOUS LOSS,

The whole loss in the San Francisco
calamity will never be known. but 1t is
an ameliorating circumstance that the
loss of human life. so far as IT can now
be ascertained, Is far less than the first
reports indicated. SIN, there will al
ways be uncertainty, for the facts as
reported are that many havo been
killed whose loss can never be def
nitely known. Buildings toppled over
burying persons In the ruins. and In the
hre and destruction many lives go out
that can never be reported: while the
list OF unidentified dead is appaliingly
large
Ihe property loss seems to be reach
Ing toward the tremendous total of the
Chicago fire, which was placed at over
two hundred million dollars, and was
rated as the most destructive fire ever
known. In this calamity at San Fran
cisco, 1t is probable that the destruc-
tion wrought primarily by the earth
quake though severe. Will be rated as
comparatively Insignificant compared
with the loss by the flames. But the
disabling OF the city was by the earth
quake, and this left the fire FREQ to rage
unchecked. The earthquake destroyed
the water mains and the pipe connec-
tions, so that the FIRE department could
do no work. and dynamite proved no
real deterrent, for the fire seemed to
spread everywhere In spite of the
blowing up of houses to stop II,
Two hundred million dollars loss 1t
is hard TO grasp the size of 1t without
something to compare by. The total
assessed value of Utah. including real
estate. personal property, railroads,
mines-everything was last year con-
slderably less than hundred and fifty
million dollars. So that the valuation
of this State would have to increase
more than one-third to equal in total
the tremendous losses that have over
whelmed San Francisco.
1t is an enormous obliteration of val
ues, To be sure, there is the insur-
ance, which will be available TO a
somewhat helpful extent. 1t Is to be
hoped that the companies may be
prompt and liberal in their adjustments.
Already 1t is announced by some of
them ,and all viii no doubt follow the
same generous policy that they will not
be curious to inquire nor insistent upon
technical proof that 1t was fire and not
earthquake that destroyed the insured
property; as a matter of fact. the fire
has apparently overtaken all. And
with this disposition on the part OF the
insurance companies. the insured of
San Francisco can count upon enough
to enable them TO make new start
But this should by no means diminish
the spirit of helpfulness that Is so
manifest on all hands. and that should
be nightly encouraged In all; for the
need Is immediate and imperative. and
the needy are such a multitude that
the utmost efforts of wcll-disposed per-
sons will hardly suffice to tide the suf
fcrers over their period of distress.

re0elators OF the Mormon church? II
would seem so; for tho organ OF the
church never loses an opportunity to
associate Its religion with this subject,
and to impart tho Inference that Of the
two crimes that which is practioed In
the name OF God, by the editor OF the
News and the controllers OF his paper,
Is preferable.
The significant argument to be drawn
from the attitude of the organ OF tho
church is that every degenerate fam
lily should organize Itself into a church
and propagate It's evils In the name of
the Almighty Father. and then the
evildoers and their evil doing would
be beyond the touch of earthly or sociul
