don't think 1t was any of the gov
ernors bushes whether Orcharl mad

of the address appeared to be to in
cite the public against the prisoners.
1t was a cunningly worded document,
but it seems to us that it can serve no
good purpose. 1t won't help the prose
cution, although it may have been 50
intended. On the contrary it will hurt
the prosecution and give the defense a
chance to raise the cry of persecution
While believing that the Western
Federation of Miners is a most pernic
ious organization, an organization that
teaches murder and encourages assas
sination it's members should be dealt
with according to law, not by public
clamor. The law is strong enough t.

ton and hatred that caused them to
rise up against Utah and try to over
ride the constitutional laws of this
land through the instrumentality of
petitions.
Senator Dubois is looked upon here
as mountebank with his hand out
for the long green. His sincerity in
the Mormon question is only measured
by what there is in it for him. The
following shows his bad taste and i'll
breeding: Last week a meeting was
held here in large Episcopal church
in honor of the seth anniversary of
Miss Susan 3. Anthony's birthday.
Senator Dubois was invited to speak.
Instead of making the meeting a
pleasurable occasion he threw a wet
blanket on it by talking of the horrors
of the Mormon menace" much to
the disgust of everyone present. What
made his talk still more inappropriate
was because it was in an Episcopal
church, whose fundamental rule is
never to ridicule, blackmail or attack
another religious denomination.
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1906-03-03

His talk was a direct thrust and an
insult to Miss Anthony for ever since
Utah became a state she has sung its
praise and held up the Mormons as a
type of liberality, for they were the
first people to give their women their
entire rights in regard to suffrage.
The article in Truth of February
18th. Newspapers as Frauds" was
very favorably commented upon by
the many friends Truth has in this

ers of Salt Lake how they have been
so numerically gulled by the Trib'
une and it's satalites.

THE CHINESE EMBRoGLIo.

The Washington correspondents re-
deal concerned over the possibility of
another antiforeign outbreak in China.
The chance that American troops will
be needed again for the rescue of
Americans in China, says Golfers
Weekly, has already led to the dis
patch of two regiments of infantry
and two batteries of artillery to Ma
nilla and to other preparations. The
transports which are taking the rein
forcements to the Philippines are to
stay at Manila in readiness to take
troops to China if that should be nee
essary. Still another infantry regi-
ment may be sent to the east If con-
gress will vote the money. While
these military precautions are being
taken against the possibly flying off of
the Chinese lid, it is gratifying to
notice that the imperial Chinese CON-
missioners now on visit of inspec-
ton and investigation in this country
are being everywhere received and
entertained with the heartiest cor
diadity. In New York, on February 3,
great dinner was given in their hon.
or at the Waldorf hotel by represen-
tatives of the Protestant missionary
societies. On their way to New York
they were deliberately entertained in
Chicago and in Washington, and
everything that they cared to see both
there and here was shown them. Leav.
ing here, they went to West Point
Niagara, Philadelphia, and Boston. In
Boston a dinner was given in their
honor on February IL at the Algon
quin club, at which number of nota
BILE addresses were made. Governor
Guild and Mr.. Richard Olney were
among the speakers, and President
Eliot gave the commissioners assur
ance of the readiness of the American
colleges to receive Chinese students
on exceptional terms of admission
and provide for them special guidance
and pecuniary aid, if need be.
| The commissioners are viceroyS OF
the empire, the senior of them being
that Tuan Fang who, when ordered
by imperial edict at the time of the
Boxer rebellion to kill all foreigners
| in his province of Shensi, elected in
stead to protect them, and for this
discriminating exercise of superior
Judgment was presently promoted to
be governor of two provinces. He is
rated as one of the strongest friends
of progress in China. The commits

should both remind congress OF the
need of so amending the exclusion act
that it may not shut out Chinese stu
dents nor subject to indignities such
Chinese visitors as it was never in
tended to affect.
Americans and American goods are
now exceedingly unpopular in China
If any one remains ignorant why they
are unpopular, he can learn some
thing from the recent remarks OF
Vice President Schwerin, of the Pa
cific Mail Steamship company. Mr..
Schwerin says that the moderation OF
the American troops in China at the
time of the Boxer rebellion made Am
orleans very popular. He attributes
the present disfavor in which they
are held to the brutal enforcement OF
the exclusion act and to the hostile
treatment of Chinese in California
The officials who have enforced the
exclusion act in California have pro-
ceeded, he says, on the theory that
the more Cinnamon they kept out the
greater would be their popularity. Be
sides this, the San Francisco labor
leaders began agitation against Chi
nese-made goods, using the boycott
against grocers, tobacco dealers
clothiers, and others who sold them
The Pacific coast Chinese wrote home
about it. Well-born students sent by
the Chinese government to the Uni
versity of California wrote home
that on their landing they had beer
measured on the Bertillon plan ant
treated like criminals. They advised
against sending any more students
Then followed the boycott agains
American goods, managed will
searching effectiveness by the grea
Chinese guilds, and the diffusion b!
them of anti-American literature
throughout the empire. The result
has been the development in China o
an intense anti-American feeling, tina
has come to be feeling against al
foreigners, and which the Chinese gov
eminent is doing it's best to hold il
check We have sowp the wind, MI
Schwerin says, and are reaping tn
whirlwind. He thinks the condition o
Caucasian missionaries in the interio
of China is extremely perilous. Tn
Pacific coast trade with China he re
ports to be very seriously crippled
many San Francisco firms in the CHI
nese trade having closed their office
in China. This condition of thing
is doubtless satisfactory to the labo
organizations of San Francisco, whic
have been the chief agents in bringin
it about, and which can probably see
profit in the extinction of all CONNER
cial relations, and indeed all inter
course, with China. Whether congress
will permit these organizations t
continue to regulate the relations be
tween China and the United State
remains to be seen.

TRUTHS.

City Chemist Harms is one official
whose salary the administration is
justified in raising. The Office of city
chemist is much more important one
than most people suppose, and the re-
enumeration has been too low for a
man capable of filling the position
properly like Harms.
The friends of W. N. Williams are
urging him to be a candidate for re-
election to the state senate next
autumn. Mr.. Williams has served
two terms in the legislature with
credit.
Congressman Howell it is said, will
have competitors for the congressional
nomination next autumn. James T.
Hammond, Farley p. Christensen and
other names are frequently mentioned
as probable candidates. Mr.. Howell
