In further reply TO such falsehood It 10
only necessary to point out that a Grim
inal community could not have done
what the Saints have accomplished IN
this State. neither could they have eS-
ercised the power for good that they
have in the earth. Right conduct does
not spring from crime; nor good char
acter from evil teachings. OF Senator
Snsoot. he says:
The Senator stands before the SEN
ate I'm personal character and bearing
above criticism and beyond reproaeh.
what may be thus truly said OF Sen
ator Smoot may be said with equal
tru,hfulness OF the great majority OF
the Latter.dsy Saints. Their conduct Is
admirable IN virtue, truthfulness, re-
liability. and in every good thing that
makes noble men and women, this peo-
pic compare favorably with the people
OF any other state IN this Union. They
respect womanhood, they love home and
family. provide for and educate their
children, are patriotic and loyal to our
nation and are trained to. and do re-
spect law and order. They are reliable
and conservative, Sucn frults, sucn
results do nos ripen or spring from an
organization teaching crime and law
lessness. And yet. for political pur-
poses the Senator has denounced this
people and it's organization with every
anathema Of detestation, and attaches
to them every evil motive calculated to
make men shudder with disgust. A
man who bears such false witness
should hide his head for very shame.
Never was there u falser. nor more
unjustiiahle denunciation of this peo-
pie than is contained in the Senator's
closing sentences. Surely it is time the
people at home--business men, the
press, and all who regard our state with
favor--make vigorous protest against
such ISLANDERS. At home here we have
come to regard them as an evil Joke.
and many so treat them But II is
otherwise in the East. There they are
believed. II is our duty 10 deny them,
and by our protest brand them what
they are-slanders. They can be cas-
lily refuted-the daily lives and ac-
tons of our people are in themselves
regulations. and our history bears rec
ord of this truth"

THE JAPANESE QUESTION.

We hope there is no reason for alarm,
notwithstanding the sensational Wash
ington dispatches concerning Difficult
Ties with Japan on account of tho school
question. The clause In the treaty
with Japan, which tho Japanese re-
gard as violated ,by the San Francisco
school board, Is as follows:
In whatever relates to rights OF resi-
dence and travel; to the possession of
goods aud effects of any kind: to the
succession of personal estate by will
or otherwise and the disposal of prop
erty OF any sort and In any manner
Whatsoever, which they may lawfully
acquire, the citizens or subjects OF each
contracting party shall enjoy in the
territories of the other the same privi-
leges, liberties and rights and shall be
subject 10 no higher imports or charges
IA these respects than native citizens
or subjects, or citizens or subjects OF
the most favored nation
There is In this no reference 10
rights of education, except what may
possibly be implied in rights OF resi-
dence; or rights and privileges OF sub
Jeets or citizens of the most favored
nation. The Japanese may argue that.

sN0WsLIDE WARNINGS.

The season for snowslides has ar
rived and danger to the lives of the,
dwellers of the mountains is now immi-
nent and constant. Yesterday, the
town OF Monarch, a small mining camp
| in Colorado, was wrecked by terrific
avalanche The snow broke loose from
its altltudinous fnoorings and swept
down the face OF the range with the
| velocity of a thunderbolt. At least O.
dozen persons are said 10 have persisted.
| The wonder is that the number was
not greater.
| Only the brave and hardy miner. or
other courageous mountaineer who has
| heard the roar and seen the havoc OF
these awful slides is able to realize how
terrorizing and devastating they are,
Men OF stout hearts who have witnessed
mons mouth amid the tumult and on
slaught of battle. declare that it re-
nuires less of the heroic to be a partici-
pant in the former than to brave the
latter. There is chance for life in
grim visaged war. but none whatever in
the pathway OF the dreaded slide. That
sweeps all before It with a crash that is
over in twinkling, leaving only ruin
and desolation behind. How many OF
these winter tragedies there have been
in the mountains OF the west. or Utah.
even, no man knows. Collectively they
have claimed the lives OF thousands.
Many of these dreadful scenes have
been enacted in the Cottonwoods, al
most at our very doors. And Of con-
ditions In that section right now it Will
be we'll to take cognizance. Reports
from there indicate that the danger Ia
very great. The recent rains have
packed the snow down to a hard sur
face on which new fallen flakes can find
no anchorage. and down which slides
may shoot without warning, at any
moment, Accordingly, for the next few
weeks. every precaution the noun
taineer is aware OF should be taken In
the interest of life and property. not
only at Alta. but wherever similar con-
ditions are to be found. The most eff
fective method OF averting this very
grave danger right now. Is to remain
away from the places from where 1t
is known TO exist. Better suffer a little
loss and Inconvenience now than to be-
come a victim of a peril against which
nothing or no one can stand. or hazard
the life of a dear one who may have
a task in the line of possible slides.
An ounce of stay-away now may
avoid tons of what threatens to come
In tho wake thereof. By all means,
keep out Of the slide territory for the
present unless the most urgent duty
calls you into II.
