It Is probable that the British demand
Will be much curtailed for time, until
the conditions In those packing houses
have been thoroughly remodeled. 1t
is not remarkable that there has been
no especial outcry from France or Ger
many, the reason being that the oih-
Gals OF those two countries were thor
oughly aware all along of the condition
OF the Chicago packing houses and ap-
piled their own rules of inspection,
rigid and minute, which fully protected
the meat consumers of those countries.
The very reason why we have not ex-
ported more meats to France and Ger
many is because the meat inspectors OF
those countries were on their guard
against American meats, and It has
been a matter OF public notorlety for a
number OF years that they distrusted
American products and admitted our
meats only after the most thorough evil
dence that they were clean and At.
The Government inspectors stand
staunchly by the reports they have
made as to the bad condition in the
Chicago packing houses. They are cor
roboratcd by Independent testimony, and
the Government will undoubtedly ac-
cept their statement as the facts in the
case. The remedy Is not To evade, deny
or excuse. but 10 make drastic and
thorough reform, and to let the whole
world know that the reform Is made
invite inspection by any one interested,
by the public, or by the representatives.
OF any foreign Government or CONNER
cial body, II is idle to cry out against
the exposures Of bad conditions; these
must be exposed II we arc TO have con-
ditions bettered. u Is idle to think that
those bad conditions are not known to
the experts Of the world. They are
known. and they prejudice the Ameri-
can meat trade and discredit American
products abroad. The thing 10 do is 10
make a thorough renovation, start
anew and right. and keep the methods
and practices of the packing houses
fully UP to the best and cleanest stand
ards. Then American meats. having
deserved the confidence of meat-b buyers
all over the world, Will have that con-
fldence, and there Will be no stagnation

ways. Their methods are on trial. II

manner, afrording such facilities as

The probability is that the san Fran
cisco calamity may lead to the estab-
lshment of public Insurance agency

ance written in any metropolis, and
will prevent the insurance by any COM

INSURANCE PAYMENTS.

The San Francisco newspapers are
beginning TO show suspicion of the
good faith of the fire insurance COM
panies toward those who suffered losses
in the late earthquake and fire In that
city. The Chronicle warns the insur-
ance companies that there Is one thing
which the people of San Francisco will
not endure. and that is thickness and
sneaklng" 1t holds that however hard
the companies have been hit, there is
but one honest thing TO do, and this Is
to face the situation squarely and hon
estly; and IL gives the warning that
'the corporation which by refusing In
formation to owners OF burned policies,
raising technical points as to forms Of
proof. time or place OF fling, or any
other trick or device known to unscru-
pulous lawyers, that that company is
unfit to be called an insurance COM
pany, and should be driven out OF busi-
ness"
The Chronicle makes this general re-
Election upon the situation and upon
the insurance business.
The Insurance companies have no rea-
son TO md fault with the Insurance bust
ness. In the nature OF things there must
from time to time occur great calaInl-
ties whose resulting loss may wipo out
the profits of two or three years, but
even then there Is no reason for com
plalnt, for in ordinary years the profits Of
insurance are very large. The average
rote of dividends OF American companies
for the last ten years has been 10 per
cent The Boston Transcript recently
printed q list OF twelve companies whose
average dividend rate has been II per
cent, one company having paid an aver
age dividend of 10 per cent for the last
ten years. The value OF the business Is
made evident by the anxiety OF the com
panies to retain 1t and continue In eX-
lFtence. And the way 10 do that Is TO
act honorably In the face of disaster.
The devices which the Chronicle re-
fers to as pursued by the insurance
agents to hinder the settlement Of
claims are certainly reprehensible.
Other forms of evasion are equally rep
rehensible. 1t Is said. for instance, that
the British companies will refuse to
recognize their liability for the payment
OF any losses as to buildings that were
blown up TO prevent the spread of the
fire. notwithstanding the fact that 1t is
manifest that the building would have
burned any way, even II 1t had not
been blown up The blowing up was
not for the purpose OF destroying the
building which was already doomed
but for the purpose of preventing the
spreading Of fire to other buildings
which were threatened. The blowing
up OF building on such occasions is
matter for protection and limiting the
loss. and 1t undoubtedly effects that
purpose. II the fire were not thus re-
stricted. there would be even greater
losses than occur when the fire ls

WILL CASTRO RESIGNp

A short time ago, President Castro of
Venezuela went into retirement. Then
he emerged long enough to get into a
fresh ENHANCEMENT with the American
Consular Agent at Caracas. Mr.. Ru-
dclf Dodge. over some commercial
concessions in the Orinoco delta. And
now, Castro announces that he VIII alb
dicote altogether.
1t is high time. Castro has been a
thorn in the side OF the nations of the
world; he has become an international
nuisance. He presumes upon the guar
antee OF the Monroe doctrine that his
country can not be seized or dismem-
bered by any European Government.
and Is insolent and aggressive accord
ingly, repudiating agreements vio-
latlng contracts, and insulting the dip
lomatlc force at his high pleasure.
Even though he should abdicate per-
manently. there is no assurance that he
would not reappear and make trouble
for his successor, perhaps he might
even regain his dictatorship. And
then the troubles would all be on again,
In full force.
Perhaps the best thing that could be
done as to his case, and others like It
which might arize. would be to organ
lie a concert of American nations, for
the peaceable government OF each. sup
pressing wild insurrectlon, and failing
turbulent nuisances like Castro. Such
concert could guarantee the integrity of
all the nations as they exist, and en-
force quiet and order in them all. 1t is
a subject well worthy Of the attention
OF the Pan-American Congress soon to
meet at Rio Janeiro.

he will in due time become familiar
with the other duties OF his office.
sMooT REPRESENTS ONLY EVIL.

The pretense that Apostle Smoot rep
resents In the United States Senate the
whole OF the people of Utah ls mani
fest absurdty He does not know the
American people of Utah at all. and the
American people OF Utah know him not
at oil except as an evil and objectione-
BILE intruder into n political status
where he has no Tightful place. Whst
he represents In the United states sem
ate Is the church. the hierarchy the
dominant twenty-six who arrosantly
claim TO be tho Mormon church, the
autocrats over the people. the self
chosen leaders who. too coWardlF 10
face the reproach and the censnre JUST
~ due to them for their evil deeds ana
sentiments, undertake 10 hide pehiho
the masses OF the Mormon people ana
say that those who object TO them on-
iect to the Mormons as a whole lhis
is the only feature OF the situation
these despots create In which the MOT
mon masses are ever consulted or con-
sidered. For, in all affairs of churcn
purposes, OF church business, of church
government and promotion, they them
selves direct and make a nero torinaI
submission of their conclusions to the
people in conference, with the full as
surance that no one there dare rebel
against the programme they present.
Whenever any one did so object the
drastic discipline applied to him mas
been sufficient to deter all others from
following the example.
Smoot represents In the United states
this despotic hierarchy. and he repre-
sents nothing and nobody else. He
himself IS one of that dominant church
leadership, and in any matter In which
he goes aside from his immediate
church coterie he does IL for policy
and simply to build himself up. and
not because he believes 1t is right or
that he has any principle at stake In
tho matter.
He represents in the Senate all the
evils Of the present hierarchy; It's
pledge-brcaking. It's intrusion Into poll
tics. its dominance of both political
parties; and It's use of them as cats
paws to serve his own evil purposes, its
COntrOl OF the civil 80 ~
holding of polygamy, its secret adher-
ence to that doctrine and its quiet sup
port of those who break the laws and
the manifesto by engaging In new plu-
raj marital connections.
All of this Is represented In the Unit
ed States Senate by Reed Smoot as long
as he stays there. He Is the represent
atlve also Of his own selfish ambition.
his determination TO rise and ride, no
matter who suffers, no matter at what
cost to the State. to It's peo-
pie. or to the masses of his church. He
considers nothing except his own inter-
ests and the interests OF his fellow-hie-
rarchs. Whenever he steps out of the
sacred ring TO take any action he does
il for the purpose of strengthening that
ring, and not because he has any real
desire to recognize anything or any
body outside OF IT,
Smoot in the United States Senate
from Utah represents evil; evil contin-
ually. and the utter perverslon of all
American ideas and institutions: and
evil days Will be upon Utah as long as
he remains there.

GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

In The Tribune on Thursday morn
ing was voiced a demand on the part
Of hackmen and others for watering
troughs where horses could get n drink
without being taken home and un-
htched. IT Is a reasonable demand
that such troughs should be provided.
ogden has recently put In two at
prominent corners in that city, at
comparatively slight expense. Both
troughs arc OF concrete, and Of such
solldlty that they may reasonably be
expected TO last for a thousand years,
This city should have a number of such
troughs in the business districts. and
they should be made ornamental artiS-
tic, and convenient for use. We com
mend the suggestion OF the hackmen To
the City Council for favorable action.
There can be no doubt, but that the
need is here and It should be promptly
met
Another matter in connection With
water propositions is the suggestion of
business men calling for a more thor
ough publication OF Main street. and
the keeping down of dust on that CEN
trail thoroughfare. The suggestion is
for frequent sprinkling on both sides
OF the street at the same time, so that
the dust which damages goods and
displays. should be kept down, The
proposition for thorough flushing Of
the street some time during the night
is also n good one. 1t would not take
very long TO thoroughly flush the street
