RETIREs FROM BUSINESS.

James IL Cosgrove retired from
business yesterday in this city. having
sold the well known Board of Trade
saloon to other parties. For period
of eighteen years Mr. Cosgrove has
been in active bushes in this city
and has enjoyed the respect of his
fellow citizens and business associa-
tes. The firm when first establish
ed in 1883 was Cosgrove & Ryan.
Later Mr.. Cosgrove purchased the
interest of his partner and has since
conducted the business himself.
Eighteen years is a pretty long
time to be in active business without
any extended period OF rest aud MIR.
cosgrove is anticipating considerable
pleasure in his being able to get out
in the open again to work. He has
mining Interests which will take his
attention at first and he hopes that
he will benefit by leading an outdoor
life again. 1t will be generally a
greed by those who have done husi-
ness with MIR. Cosgrove that he was
fair dealing. in every business affair
and he retires with the good viii and
respect OF all his old friends and
business associates.

THE PROPER VIEW.

One of the most notable thing.
about the San Francisco disaster 1.
the fact that the ministers. almost
without exception. have refrained
from referring 10 it as a punishment
deliberately visited upon the city by
the Almighty because of the city's
sins. This Notwithstanding the fact
that San Francisco has often been
pointed TO as a wicked city. The truth
is that those who seek wickedness can
find 1t wherever they go. The
churches arenot free. ANY man or
woman who sets out to find some
thing that is bad viii find IT, pust as
anybody can find good.
One of the most eloquent OF pas
tors has sounded the keynote for all.
He said. at great church meeting
the other day. that God occasionally
visits great calamity upon his peo-
pie just to remind them that they
are all brothers and sisters. There
was never greater Illustration Of
mans common brotherhood than in
San Francisco during the last ten
days. All the people of that great
city stood upon exactly the same level
Practically ali of them suffered, prac-
ticallv all wanted to do and did do
something for the relief Of their fell
low sufferers. Lines of caste. of So
cial station were completely obliter-
ated. hands and hearts were joined
in COMMON bond of sympathy.
Too much has been told of the
darker side of the picture, too much
of the looting, of the exorbitant
charges for food and transportation
in the earlier stages of the calamity.
Too little has been told of the bright
er side. of the human brotherhood
that was the most remarkable fea-
ture of the disaster. So many men
and women thought of others be-
fore they thought of themselves. so
many are the tales of heroism and
self sacrifice that we can easily for
get the few cases of selfishness and
greed and extortion
We never know how close we are
together until something of this kind
teaches us the lesson. There has been
misery and there is misery in San
Francisco. Men and women and
children have suffered and are suffer
ing as human beings have rarely been
called upon to suffer in this country.
But their suffering is almost worth
while because of the wonderful les
son 1t has taught ALI of us. 1t is a
lesson that none fus will ever for
get Salt Lake Herald.

IN THE EARTHQUAKE.

Dan d. easement. the well known
Unaweep cattleman. was an arrival
In the city this morning from the
west, accompanying his father and
mother. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Easement.
Mr.. Easement was in Kansas on his
big farm there. when the news OF
the earthquake reached him. He was
considerable worried. because he
knew that his mother and father
were somewhere along the coast, as
they We're spending the winter in Cal
ifornia. II was Mr.. Easements idea
that they We're at the st. Francis ho-
tel. but when he arrived in Califofn-
In. he found that they We're at San

His father and mother were guests
at the principal hotel. when the quake
occurred and the elder Mr.. Easement
was pinned fast in his bed by the fall
ing of the plastering in his room He
had two ribs broken and was badly
shaken up.
The fact that his father was in the
most rugged health probably saved
his life, as he is n man of seventy

Germs buy your produce and help

they pay taxes in Chicago, and

down here that they come to bleed

MAIL ORDER HOUSES.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
Several months ago The CHRoN-
TaLE contained an article which
warned the people in regard to
patronizing "Mail Order Houses,
saying that most of the. goods
bought Of them were of an inferior
quality, and after the freight OF
express had been paid upon them
they could be bought just as cheap
and possibly cheaper at home than
in the cities.
Since that time one of the sup
posed largest houses of this kind
in the United States has ''gone to
the WALL" so to speak, and, OF
course, left large number OF It's
regular customers "in the hole"
by having on file their orders,
which was accompanied by the
cash or it's equivalent, to be filled
when they received the goods; no,
not that, but never to be filled or
the money returned.
One poor widow lady, who con-
cluded that possibly she could
save a few dimes by ordering bill
Of goods from one of these houses,
sent them check for 500 with an
order for that amount of goods OF
divers kinds of articles. They
wrote her that her order had been
received and would be- filed just
as soon as they could get all the
goods in, but during all this time
they were writing hundreds OF
people every day the same thing.
What do you suppose they were
making their arrangement to DO?
70 fill the order? No, to "go out
Of, business" after having skin
ned enough people TO be fixed
financially for life.
Now this actually occurred only

down here to dig their graves and
bury them. How badly they will
be mistaken; these people have not
got a bit of use for you when your
money gives out.
Try them on a credit, like a large
percent of our merchants in this
county sell most of their, goods,
and see what they will do. Iknow
they will not even answer your
message,
The safest plan is to buy what
you need from the merchants in
your home county, and it may be
that the same money you spend
here and do not send away will re-
turn to you four fold. The same
money may come back to you for
some of your cotton, peanuts, hay,
corn, hogs, cattle, horses, mules or
labor. Who knows where even q
twenty dollar bill will stop or how
many debts it will pay in a single
day in one community? If we ex-
pect to become really prosperous
and well to do as community of
people, we must first learn to inn
itate the people Of the North who
do not buy from us if they can pos
sibly avoid it; they strive to build
up and broaden out by keeping
their money at home. 1t is COM
mendable upon their part. They
believe in keeping their money at
home and patronizihg home in
dustries. We would be wise to
adopt this policy.
Let every citizen of the grand
old county of Benton resolve that
they will pause and think over
what they have done along this
line in the past, and that in the
future they will endeavor to pat
ronize home people, and to forever
remember the golden rule: DO

PLAN FAVORED BY REACTION
lsTs TO MEET PRESENT SIT.

REALIZES THAT DISMISSAL OF

opinion is greatly excited as to how
the emperor and the government will
meet the defiant attitude of the lower
house of parliament Many Constitu-
tional Democrats are not yet con-
F1nced that the government will seek
a compromise They see indications
that the bureaucracy is preparing for
desperate fight. The Rech, their
organ, still considers it possible that
an attempt may be made to disperse
parliament and also prints a runor
that Count Witte is trying to bring
about coup d'etat which would result
in his being appointed a dictator,
backed by the council of the empire.
The Novoe Vremya thinks the Con-
stitutional Democrats are going mad
and are playing into the hands of the
Social Democrats. 'The Constitu-
tional Democrats" the paper says,
ARE digging their own graves in paw
ing the way to a dictatorship Of the
proletariat.'
Radicals Breaking Away.
AS matter of fact the Constitu-
t1Onal Democrats are unable any long
er to hold the extreme radicals in par
lament, who are breaking away and
forming about the Social Democrats
and establishing a distinct party of
the extreme left, which wants not
parliamentarism but a revolution.
Some of the Polish delegates are flirt-
ing with this group on the basis of
complete autonomy for Poland In
other words the situation in both par
lament and the government is grow
ing more complicated and more cha
otto and the greatest anxiety prevails
as to what the immediate future may
bring forth.
The scheme most favored by the
bureaucracy is to allow parliament to
formulate it's demands and ventilate
it's grievances for two months and
then dissolve parliament. Notwith-
standing this reactionary talk the far
sighted realize that such a step, in
view of the great agitation in the
country, would be fatal and that the
governments only chance is to com
promise with parliament This GER
tainly is the emperor's present inten-
ton. r- H.,
First Split of the Session.
The vote on Prince Dolgoroukoff's
proposition to incorporate a demand
for an Gni-cameral legislature in the
reply TO the throne developed the first
Zig split of the session, the amend
ment being rejected by 259 to 153
votes.
Rapid progress was then made on
the other planks SO far as the recon-
mendations regarding the agrarian
question.
The following additions suggested
by Professor Maxim Kouva1evsl1y of
kharkoff were made:
No new taxes shall be levied with
out the consent of parliament.
Budget of taxation projects accept
ed by the parliament shall not be al
tered by nOn-representative body.
Parliament shall have control Of all
loans.
In the paragraph providing for the
abolition of class privilege the house
decided to demand equality of rights
without distinction of sex as well as
nationality or religion.
