PUBLICITY REQUIRED
ONLY WEAPON TO SUCCESSFULLY
 FIGHT "MODEFtN FINANCE"
Remarkable Arrangement of the Pre- vaIIinE Spirit of S0rdid COmmer- cialiAm-RestFfctive LegSsia-
 tiSn Not Sufficient.

New York, Jan. 4.-Publicity is the only weapon which can be used suc- cessfully to combat the Spirit of sor- did commercialiem which has clouded the judgment of those who have been the custodians of large and important trusts, causing them to depart from the we'll trodden paths of rectitude and high honor which heretofore has char acterized our merchants and brokers" as revealed by the recent insurance in vestigation, according to report sub mitted at a regular, meeting of the New fork Chamber of Commerce to- day.
 The report was made by Anton A. Raven chairman of the Chambers committee on insurance, to which had been referred a. resolution declaring that. in the opinion, of,the chamber ad- dittonal legislation was necessary for the proper regulation of life insurance companies and kindred Organizations. This committee has concluded that no restrictive Iesiglation. can Insure hon. esty of administration and enforce economy. .s} .-
 ''The very atmosphere Of our com mercial traffic has become impregnated with an undue desire for wealth and power" says the report ITO attain these ends apparently no means have been left unemployed, Attempts have often been made to Influence legisla- lures and large sums Of money have been used to that end
 ''This has not been unattended with the betrayal for the personal gain or advantage Of the high trusts which have been committed to them. Hon- esty of administration and economy. the essential features Of all fiduciary nositons. must of necessity be left to the directors as well as the executive officers.
 Rigid RequIrment of Publicity.
 While restrictive legisIation may not be conducive to the best adminis- traitor. there should be. a rigid re- ouirement of publicity in respect to all the affairs of organizations of this character. requiring each company to publish It's annual statement with the details of It's expenses and other items relating to the administration: and further that a semi examination be made of all the details of the ap- propriation of funds used in corpor- ations of this kind.
 "Publicity is really the best means of keeping those who hold fiduciary positions under the eye of the public. If thereby gives the officers and direc- tors realizing sense of obligation resting with which reforms have been instit,Ited since publicity has been given to the internal affairs of these companies. about inc condition In some companies ss disclosed by the investigation, the pi%Tbe mundamental cause of malad- .,i,tstration of the companies named bas evidently been the. lost ideal and the forFotten ethical conception of the | sacred trust involved Tn the admtnis- tration of life insurance funds" |

ANOTHER PRETENDER,

According 10 dispatch from Porto
Rico, preacher has appeared in that
island, who draws large crowds after
him. He claims to be st. John, the
Evangelist. What his special doctrines
nre, IL not stated. but Il Is said that
he teaches people to follow him and
to wear three crosses hanging from
their necksso that Satan may not carry
them away. He is said to have thous-
ands of converts.
1t should be noted that one of the
signs of the approaching end OF the
Jewish polity was the appearance OF
false Christs and false prophets, and
SO numerous were these. and many
OF them were so much like the messen-
gers of truth, that even the elect were
I'm danger. The same signs may be en-
pected. as the end OF the present dis
pensation and the advent OF the Savior
are drawing near. False Christs and
false prophetsl Perhaps never before
In the worlds history were they more
numerous. Some Of them claim to be
the Christ. Others pretend 10 be Eli
iah, and others John, the Evangelist
And credulity is ever ready to be I'M
posed upon.

AN IRISH FAIR,

Ireland, Il seems, is preparing 70 hold

In the fair that Ireland is about to

NO REAL CAUSE FOR ALARM.

We do not think that our friends In
Utah county need be greatly alarmed
over the threatened contest for the wa
tiers OF strawberry creek, by settlers
on the former Uintah reservation. The
protect for the building OF the reservoir
in Strawberry valley and the boring OF
the big tunnel TO convey the water
down into Utah valley. has been thor
oughly planned and laid out, and has
received the endorsement OF the gov
eminent officials. Tho work has been
ordered, and viii go on as directed, UNI
less Official instructions from Washing
ton to the contrary shall be received.
This means no interference with the
rights which settlers In Illntah county
may have obtained, Any disputes on
that question that may arise, can be
equitably settled or determined by the
courts, II they are Of SUFFICIENT apparent
validity to warrant such litigation. The
government has become interested In
the scheme TO conduct the Strawberry
waters into Utah county, and the peo-
pie there have formally organized and
signed the contract required by the de-
partment at Washington. Their rights
In the premises will certainly be re-
spected,
Investigations may be instituted to
determine the respective necessities and
benefits arising from water supply In
the two different localities. but even
that Is not certain, and the probability
Is that the government proposition Will
be carried out, The Utah delegation In
Congress win probably take hand In
this matter.
II has been generally understood that
uintah county is one OF the very best
watered districts In this state, and
that 1t has an ample supply for all
the lands therein that can be culti-
waited. We hope that experience win
demonstrate the truth OF this UNDER
standing, and that other means of sup
ply than that now mooted will be found,
10 furnish the new settlers with all that
they need. Anyhow. we do not believe
that the great project that has been
talked about SO much and ON which a
definite conclusion has been reached by
the government. win fan to the ground
or be effectually impeded.

OUR CHINESE GUESTS.

The arrival in this country OF "A
distinguished delegation from China Is
an event OF more than common import
ance, and interest. At n banquet given
In San Francisco In honor OF the visit
ors, Tuan Fang said they had come TO
study the Intellectual, commercial and
Industrial sides Of America as well as
It's political, and they regretted that
their stay In this country must neces-
sarIly be short. They hoped, however.
that with such assistance and willing
ness on the part Of Americans as had
already been shown them here, they
could accomplish great deal In adj
dltiOn to studying the ways OF the peo-
pie OF the lands which they visit, they
intend, he said, to study the Chinese
In foreign countres--.that Is, the Chi
nese away from home. To these CHI
nese IN other lands the Emperor and
Empress Dnwager, the speaker de-
clarod. send a greeting and wish 10
remind them that their subjects abroad
are still IN their soyeregns' care and
that their interests are dear to the
hearts OF their soyereigns.
The visit Of this party should do
much toward the re-establishment OF
cordial feelings between the two coun-
tries. The Chinese commissioners,
whatever their real mission here IS.
should be made to understand that our
policy as regards China VIII be fair In
every respect. Undoubtedly China
VIII. as for her future conduct, be
largely influenced by the reports Of
these commissioners concerning the
countries they visit. They should be
able to say truthfuliy that China has q
friend In the United States willing to
aid her in her struggle for advance
ment.
II IL claimed that trouble is again
brewing In the old Asiatic empire, and
that the War department Is preparing
for q possible emergency, by dispatch
ing additional regiments OF infantry TO
the Philippines. II IL pointed out that
tho situation resembles very much that
which preceded the Boxer outbreak In
1900. BE this as 1t may, II IL time to
wake up to a realization OF the fact
that China is moving forward, follow.
ing the lead Of Japan, and that soon
she win have to be reckoned with. The
visit OF these commissioners should be
reminder to us that America and
Asia ought 10 clasp hands In friendship
across the great Pacific.

A GREAT ANNIVERSARY.

the occasion of this blcentennial ami
vtrsary. to contemplate the character OF
the men raised up by the divine Provi-
dence, to be the builders OF the Amerl-

great truth that this wonderful struc-
ture was erected by master builders,
who knew how TO lay solid foundations
and place thereon q monument TO stand
for ages, IN spite Of the storms and
connections OF the world. 1t indicates
