Rev. Lachlan MacLean, pastor

Rev. Lachlan MacLean, pastor
of the NJ. E. church, preached his
farewell sermon last Sunday morn
ing, and has entered upon his du-
ties as field agent for the universe
ty at Mitchell. He left on Tues
day evening for Fargo, n. D., and
will visit the Twin Cities and other
places in that vicinity before bis
return. The family VIII remain
here until the end of the school
year when they will move to Mitch
ell. Since coming here last fall
Mr.. MacLean and his family have
won the high esteem of the citi-
zens Of Scotland, irrespective of
church atiliation, and their de-
parture is very much regretted.
The friendship, not only for Mr..
NacLaan and family, but between
the Methodist and Presbyterian de-
nominations in general, is mani
fest from the following resolutions
which we're introduced by Mr.. j.

byterian church, at a union meet
ing Sunday evening, and passed
By a unanimous vote:
Whereas, our friend and brother

ed an almost authoritative call to
a work for which he is peculiarly
fitted, we his friends and especial
ly the members Of this church de-
sire to give expression Of our es-
TEEN and regard in the following
resolution:
Resolved, Thatin the removal OF
Bro. MacLean and his estimable
famlly from our midst, the city
loses a family we have all como tc
love and esteem; the community
loses a counselor and worker we
appreciate and highly regard; that
this church loses a pastor that in
SO short a time they have become
deyotedly attached TO, and dearly
love,
Submitting to the powers that

THE UTAH BATTERY.

If reports regarding the condition of
the First Artillery of the National
Guard of Utah are true. and there is
every reason TO believe they are. that
organization should be given a shaking
that will shake il out of existence. as
at present constituted. at least. The
equipment Is admitted To be in miser-
able condition The dirt and mud from
the encampment i'm Wyoming months
ago is still on the guns. the harness is
in wretched shape, and slipshod meth
DDS are everywhere TO be observed.
An attempt is made by one of the Of
ficers to justify existing conditions. but
there be, for example, for leaving mud
on the guns for months? If il was the
duty of the lieutenants to look after
this matter OF detail it was certainly
the duty of the captain to see that they
did look after ii. How long would a
captain or a lieutenant in the regular
army last if he permitted such things
TO go on?
We cannot blame members of the
Utah batteries that fought so SPLEEN
didly i'm the Philippines for Directing tc
the coupling of the names of their or
ganization with the present disgrace &c
the state. We cannot blame them fol
pointing out the fact that the batterie:
Of which all Of us are so proud ceased

banding this battery. If it can be re-
organized on a scale that will be Z

well without any battery. for 1t would
be better to have none at all than tC
have a continuance of the present dis

1t was announced yesterday that con-
tracts for 1900 additional miles Of
block signals had been awarded by the
Hartman system, and that by August
] the line from Omaha to San Francisco
and thence to Los Angeles will be com
pletely equipped by this accident pre-
venting device. 1t is too much to say
that block signals will make accidents
impossible. AS long as mere men ham
die trains. whether as dispatchers, as
engineers or as conductors, there are
going TO be accidents
All that is humanity possible is to
make accidents very rare This the
block system is intended to accom-
plish. An engineer i'm a moment of
mental alteration may run by a signal
and into another train; a dispatcher
may give wrong order; the signals
may be in bad repair. But ii Is well
known fact that on roads where block
signals are in use the percentage of
fatal accidents is extremely small.
That is, accidents due to collisions.
The Hartman system is to be con-
graduated on the step IL has taken.
Block signals should be in use on ev-
cry mile Of every railroad in the land.
They stand on the right-of- as
signs which the alert engineer cannot
fail to see, indicating that it is safe

halted. In the long run these safety
appliances. viewed from the stand
point OF cold business. pay and pay
we'll.
Wrecks cost loney, especially wrecks
involving the loss of human life. A
single disaster may mean the outlay OF
more money than would be involved in
the equipment of many miles Of road
with block signals. And the senti-
mental value though impossible to es-
innate. is a real asset The public: in
spite OF any other consideration, is
going to patronize the road that seems
safest. the road that promises quick
and reliable transit.
The sooner the railroad magnates
Henerally come to the conclusion that

TALON of negro regiment for refusing
to aid in the Identification of conf
rades who were guilty of rioting at
Brownsville. Texas. That the presi-
dents step was necessary TO the MAIN
tenance of discipline Is quite clear. II
is also clear that he did not act through
any prejudice against negro troops.
If white soldiers had been guilty of
the same misconduct there is no doubt
that they would have been dishonor-
ably discharged from the service. The
question was not at all one of color but
of discipline. The colonel of the resl-
ment had said that unless the guilty
men were pointed out by their COM
rades the battalion would be dis
charged. He waited a reasonable
length of time and then reported the
matter 10 Washington. The PRESIDENT
order followed.
1t is an altogether mistaken sense Of
honor that prevents a soldier from re-
porting on a fellow soldier under such
circumstances. The entire battalion
knew which of the men were guilty Of
riotins. The guilty were so lost to all
sense of justice and decency that they
were willing to let the whole battalion
suffer rather than give themselves up.
/ The innocent were, therefore, released
| from all imaginary pledges to stand by
/ them. They did not care TO consider
! themselves released, so their discharge
was the only possible course TO pursue
Suppose the battalion had been re-
tanned i'm the service? Would il have
been possible for the colonel TO main
tain any discipline whatever over the
men? Would they not have gone from
bad to worse until. instead of guarding
and protecting the people. they would
have been terrorzing and preying
upon the people?
Roosevelt is the very last man i'm tn,
United States, almost, who can be &C
cused of race prejudice. He has gone
out of his way many times to say de
cent things about and do decent thing
for the negroes, and they are migrate
full indeed when they accuse him.
