HORROR OF NEEDLESS NOISES.
w. D. Howells, in Harper's.

II is the needlessness Of most noises
that renders them insufferable. You
sleep very well through the roar OF a
wintry storm. but II some one has
forgotten to fasten blind, and II be-
gins to bang, then you are lost, you
might as well get up and locate that
blind and fasten II first as last. The
manifold noises OF your steamers
plunge through the night, with the
perpetual wash of the sea, unite In a
lullaby TO which the worst conscience
sinks into repose; but snorer break
ing from the next stateroom recalls the
memory of all ones sins. The rush
and leap and incessant but varied
grind and cIang of the sle4png-car
become soothing at last, but radiator,
beginning to fig and click after the
steam has been turned off. seems to
leave the would-be sleeper no resource
but suicide; IL you could get at the
second engineer, and leave him welter-
ing in his gore, you could snatch few
cat-naps before mornings but you cam
not get at the second engineer after
midnight In most hotels Continuous
noises and necessary noises are things
YOU can adjust senses or your spirits
to; but the noise without a reason,
without an apparent right, like the
gnawng OF a rat In the wainscot, IL
what drives so many to perdition. and
the clatter Of the power-dory will prob

however, that many summer cottages

ILL-ADvIsED WAR TALK,

is somebody trying to work up an
anti-Japanese sentiment In this coun-
try? A Manila dispatch tells a story
about the discovery Of a japanese spy
caught in the act Of sketchfng FORTH
cations IN the Philippines. The cul-
prit IL said to have been Japanese
captain Of engineers, disguised. Then
comes another story 10 the effect that
United States officers are OF the opinion
that our next war will be with Japan.
This is IN harmony with the opinion
expressed recently IN German military
circles, but It does not agree with the
professions Of friendship by the most
prominent lenders OF public affairs of
Japan, nor with the observations OF
some Americans who have had ample
opportunities of learning the sentiment
of the people of Japan. After the war
with China, Japan commenced TO pre-
pare for the conflict with Russia But
Il had a legitimate cause for this. RUS
STA stepped In and wrested from the
victorious country the fruits OF VIC
tory 1t liz not understood that the
United States after the war with Rus
sla played a similar role, but that the
friendly interference OF the President
In the Portsmouth negotiations WAS
very welcome to the Mikado and his
advisers. Japan has no casus belli
against this country.
War talk without any reasonable ex-
cuss for It. Is ill-advised, to say ths
least Even II the purpose Is only to
arouse the patriotism OF the citizens
Of the country for the furtherance OF
military purposes II is against the best
interests Of the public. II is certain
TO cause Irritation In the countries
linked together by the war rumors,
and as a consequence the citizens Of
one country may he subjected to an

gravate the situation and perhaps pre-
cipitate acts OF retaliation. II there
were any probability Of war with ia
pan. diplomatic means can be employed
for the removal OF the causes long be-
fore the dnnger-polnt is reached, Irri-
tating war talk In the press is unoalled
for and can have only bad effects.
The only trouble OF which the pub
lie Is aware is the discrimination
against Japanese laborers and school
children IN San Francisco. This is
violation Of existing treaties. The
Supreme court has held that treaty
with foreign power is supreme law;yet,
there IL no means Of enforcing II. But

NO CHURCH INFLUENCE.

The efforts OF a portion Of the daily
press 20 make II appear that the Re-
publican victory IN Tuesdays election
~ Utah. and especially IN Salt Lake
county, was the result OF undue Church
influence. are puerile and silly. IL Is
q well known fact that at no time dur
ing the entire campaign did the Church
interfere. either directly or Indirectly,
With the plans, or arrangements, OF
any of the different political parties. AT
no time did any Church official offer
any advice whatever, that would ia
any way encroach upon the liberty Of
any Church member TO select his, or
her. political affiliations, and vote nc
oording to. conviction. There Is abso-
lutely no ground for The charge of
Church interference, ana those who
make IL, must know that it is false.
The result OF this election is not sur
prising to anyone who has followed the
events IA Utah during the last few
years. The campaign on the part Of ole
faction has been a persistent effort TO
create discomfort and TO win by an ap-
peal to preludices No effort has been
spared to engender jealousy and hatred
Malice. greed. envy have been appealed
30. openly, shamelessly Respectable
citizens OF all crceds, aud no creeds, have
had enough OF soul-killing agitation,
and we venture the guess that many
turned away from the ranks OF the
party responsible for II, and joined their
former political friends TO defeat lni-
guilty
Besides the underlying principle Of
this election was as important as the
Immediate question OF local offices. As
IN New York the great question was
whether the people OF that state were
prepared to endorse the aspirations OF
one candidate for the Office OF president
Of the United States. so in this election
one question was whether the people
here were willing to sustain as future
United States senator man who has
proved himself unfit for that exalted Of
fee, There could be but one answer 10
that question. and the voters gave IT.,
The determination to save the state
from the grip of plutocracy was one
factor In this election.
The management OF public affairs In
the city did not encourage the voters
OF the county to entrust their interests
TO the party responsible for the con-
ditions here. Wide open saloons and
mreckless expenditures do not catch
the votes OF decent taxpayers. Finally,
the gross falsehoods that were unblush-
ingly told about prominent citizens
served as warning to many not TO
support a cause that seemed to rely
on falsehood for victory.
These facts were enough to determine
the election. There is no necessity Of
charging undue Church influence. a
rharge that is as false az IT Is silly
and malicious.

Federal and state debts had assum-

soquently this indebtedness decreased,
but local indebtedness seems TO have
risen since 1870. BY not less than
s1,115, 0O0, 900, and since 1890 there
has also been some increase Of federal
and state liabilities. Are we drifting
away from the doctrine that was once
considered orthodox, that Indebted

as possible? The figures presented
seem to convey o warning against
governmental extravaganza.
