NOT PEACE, BUT WAR.

Lovers Of peace and harmony
throughout the world frequently sny
that the nations are making towards
lhat condition when war will be heard
OF no more, And yet there are signIfi-
cant signs that the reverse is true In
doubtedly the most powerful factor
working towards the reversion to war
and military preparations for war is the
attitude of Germany under the present
emperor who seems TO think far more
OF the fighting qualities Of his army
and navy than of any other portion Of
Government, so far as the influence OF
his acts upon International relations
can be cXerted.
Great Britain has been one of the M
tons perhaps one of the most conspicu-
Gus unless 1t be the United States. In
its optimism on the proposition that
war is about to cease Great Britain
Is never prepared for war any more
than the United States Is. 1T is always

insurrection like the Philippine war.

Times is said TO have drawn n very
close parallel between the defenseless
condition Of Prussia one hundred years

monarchy with apparent case, and the

writer is not given; but it Is said that
his parallel Is so close and so remark
able as TO astound the nation. Lord
Roberts, the commander In chief has
been very much exercised about the
unmlltary character OF Great Britain's
preparations ever since the Boer war.

HARASSING A WIDOW.

The news from Logan OF the ostra-
cism against Mrs. Boyle because she re-
fuses TO believe in the principle" OF
polygamy, is one OF the most evil symp-
toms that have come TO the front for
some time Mrs. Boyle Is the widow OF
a Union soldier. She is a Mormon, but
he never was. So. she was never threat
ened with the polygamy curse In prac-
uce. and she believed that the mani
festo did away with all obligations TO
accept the wTetched doctrine. even
theoretically
But not so thought her bishop. and
he took means TO sound her firmness i'm
the faith. She passed muster all right
on every point until 1t came 10 the doc
trine of polygamy. Here she was found
weak She didn't believe I'm the doc
trine, and thought 1t ought not to be
practiCed now. But the elder who was
doing the inquisitorial act, one Otto
Bergercr. sought to convince her Of the
error of her thought. The manifesto. he
maintained, made no difference I'm the
doctrine. Polygamy is as much obliga-
tory now as 1t ever was The manifesto
Is mere convenience for the authori-
ties who use It to deny the privilege"
to all but the elect and the select. But
the worthy" are 10 build up the king
dom as Of yore, and there must be no
dissent among the Saints on this vital
point
1t is certainly an instructive lesson
which Elder Bergerer thus Impaired TO
Mrs. Boyle But 1t is diabolicaIly. not
beneiicially, instructive. Its point is that
the manifesto has come to be merely a
mask under which polygamy Is favored
as to the favorites OF the hierarchical
power. and denied TO those who are not
in favor, no matter how worthy" they
may otherwise be OF this high honor"
And thus an alleged commandment OF
God, accepted In 1890 by the whole
church as binding upon all is made a
mere pander TO lust and means Of
bringing to subsection and crawling be-
fore the throne. OF any who may not be
head OF the kingdom, powerful en-
ginery this, for the sway Of men of
strong passions. and 1t is remorselessly
used, In a manner as unDrincIpled as IL

And when IT is all resolved into It's
ultimate elements. where Is even the
trace Of religion? What of all the foul

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE.

The Washington dispatches are
rather caustic In the matter of Mr.. Ber-

Congressional Library building In
Washington. Mr., Green, 1t appears. is
drawing salary from the Government
as such custodian, but besides that he
does work on the side from which he

The evidence is unmistakablc that the
testimony referred 90 as newly given

Ion in the East. II has also made a
strong impression upon the minds of
Senators. This testimony establishes

is also an alien government to the Gov
ernment of the United States, as COM
pletely proved from its record and from

competent proof has materially made
for Shoots rejection as a Senator. The
argument Is that a man to do accept
