which there is no possible excuse.

1T Is announced that King Alfonso
of Spain Is seriously considering a
suggestion that he visit the Spanish
speaking countries OF this continent,
and that the people of Spain are en-
Enthusiastically In favor of the trip IL
he comes he VIII presumably be ac-
companied by Queen Victoria, and the
two of them are certain to have the
time of their lives. The King of Spain
Us reported 10 be a thoroughly good fell
low, and there can be no doubt of his
enthusiastic reception in Mexico and
the other capitals of Central and
South America. And IL he comes to
the United States he will have an
equally warm reception here. In such
case one would expect that the first
step would be an OFFICIAL invitation
from the countries which he expects
TO visit, and such a proposal may have
been made by them. Itis probable how
ever, that the suggestion has been put
out as a "feeler" to see how IL would
be received by the people of the vari-
Gus countries concerned. While lie is
out II would be useful and pleasant
for the King to see as much of the
world as possible. and we are sure that
we are speaking for California when
we say that If his itinerary should take
him through this port he will get a
hearty reception as will greet him in
any other part of his travels.

ONCE MORE.

The Salt Lake Tribune, In its frantic
efforts to produce anti Mormon" pa
bulum reverts to its local falsehood of
week ago regarding an alleged 'ultl-
matum' from the office OF the First
Presidency. It rehashes its local story
edltorlally, and demands that we pub
lish the so-called letter 10 which II al
ludes
That Is impossible, for the sufficient
reason that the letter OF the Tribune
story was never written. 1t was never
read anywhere. The Tribune calls 1t an
"ultimatum" stating that all Saints who
fail to pay tithlng shall lose their
standing and promising the revival OF
polygamy. Such a letter has no ex-
islence,. and has never had, If not in
the Tribune office. and we can, conse-
auently not publish 1t. as the Tribune
wen knows.
But, further, according to all accept
ed rules OF controversy, 1t s the bust
ness of the affirming party to furnish
the proof of the affirmation. The Tri-
bune affirms that an ultimatum' was
issued IN which the promise Is made
fiat "polygamy" VIII soon be restored /;
It utirms that this document was read
by Bishops-several OF them--on cer-
tain Sunday. and then. like an idiot,
demands that We furnish the
proof OF it's fabrication, Let tho
Tribune prove fits own assertions, or
stand again before the public branded
as wilful falsiiier. cheat and a
fraud. obtaining money from the pub

The facts In the case are these; on
Friday. Jan. 10, the Tribune published
local statement In which II was all
legged I'm sensational head lines that.
"First Presidency Issues ultimatum;
All Saints Who Fan TO Pay Tithes
Shall Lose Their Standing; Letter Read
by Bishops on Sunday. December 20:
Announcement also Made that soon
there WIN BE Revival OF Polygamy."
These were the infamous Hes pro-
claimed that morning by the Tribune
and, for an we know. teleGraphed az

try. For the Tribune falsehoods are al

UNEXPECTED RESULTS OF WAR
ON RATS.
Seattle Times.

Sea gulls take to the small cubes of
bread with a coating of rat poison like
a pup to warm milk. and as result
of the campaign against rats and feas
and plague. the eddies in Elliott bay
are harboring a lot of dead birds. The
gulls. 1t is supposed. are getting hold
of the poison planted on the garbage
dumps. and the unusual number of
dead ones found floating In the bay has
attracted considerable attention. Sea-
faring men regard gulls as valuable
scavengers. and they express some re,
greet that they are diminishing through
the means of poison. However, the
guIIs and the plague belong to the sea-
coast communities, and there has not
been nearly as much protest over the
loss OF the sea gulls as some house
wives have presented over the unex-
pected death of some of their chickens.
