whether they will increase or decrease
the mutton and wool supply; that If It
follows with less wool it will be dearer,
especially as the whole world is on the
retrograde. the gain in the Southern
hemisphere being less than the decrease
in wool production in the Northern
hemisphere.
Wool is an important industry in
Utah. Its prosperity affects a great
many people. If the tariff on wool be
placed so low as to destroy the wool
Industry, drive all the flocks out of the

So that. for the good Of the sheep

Dor states are not willing to accept the
dictum that the tariff on wool is too

STRIKING FOR eomPERs.

Here and there over the country is
an impassioned editorial demand that
if Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell
are sent to prison by the federal court
every member OF every labor union I'm
the country may go on strike. 1t is
proposed to make the nation understand
that the United States of America will
have to stop if these labor leaders are
punished for what the courts believe
to be an offenSe.
And we do not believe that is wise
counsel. In the first place. it sounds
a good deal like a threat; an effort to
coerce the court into changing its posi-
sion. and retreating from the logical
conclusion of all its rulings in the
case.
It seems to be the judgment of the
eourts-and that includes the supreme
men have offended. They openly and
defiantly violated an injunction, boldly
challenging whatever consequences
might come. The consequence seems to
be that they will have TO make amends,
or be punished. Now to tell the court
that if they are punished the union
workmen of the nation will go on strike.
and that not a train shall run, nor a
factory engage in work, nor any labor
by members of any union be performed
for a space Of two weeks-or for any
other period-doesnt look like a safe
or sensible procedure.
Furthermore, such a strike would GER
tainly fan. II it comes to supporting
the supreme court of the nation or sus-
tanning Samuel Gompers and John
Mitchell-however highly these gentle
men may be held-the nation will take
the side of the court. Make sure Of
that.
Such a strike as that suggested would
involve a very great inconvenience. But
the people of the country would very
cordially submit to Inconvenience far
greater rather than permit the estab-
fishing of the fact that the courts Of
the nation are to be coerced.
We take it those gentlemen got into
their trouble with their eyes open. IF
they are punished. they have no one
to blame. And their cause will not
Gain advantage I'm the attempt to jus
tify them by Overturning the govern

viii Of all China has been won by It.
That action of our government made
them especially friendly.
The returned fund was set aside by
the Chinese government for the educa-
ton of young Chinese men in the
United States; and they have boys in
nearly every big university of the re-
public. If the ratio of the present is
maintained, China win presently have
eight hundred men in America, study
ing at colleges, and learning trades at
the mills.
1t is easy to see what viii be the eff
feet of that relation. These young men
educated in America will carry the
friendships they have formed to their
homes when they go there. They will

WHERE THEY GET DIVORCES.

Out of every hundred thousand Of
population in the United States seventy
three divorces are granted every year.
Out of every hundred thousand of
population in Ireland. one is granted.
Religion has a good deal to do with
the difference. Ireland is a strong Ro-
man Catholic country, and the senti-
ment of that church has always been
strong against divorce; strong for the
keeping of the matrimonial pact.
And the difference in accessory fact
is just as impressive as that of the re-
suit. The Roman Catholic church is
very careful about the entering into
the marriage relation. 1t is a solemn
ceremony, not TO be carelessly contract
ed. There is just enough of supervis-
ion. just enough of preliminary consul
and carefully considered. The result is
that the contracting parties understand
they are making a permanent arrange
ment, when they wed. Nothing but the

Catholic church to thank for that better
view of the case.
In the United States the people gen.
orally look with lighter view on the
whole matter OF marriage. The con-
tracing parties more quickly and with
less knowledge of each other pledge
themselves TO each other. They are ac-
countable TO no one. They do not even
reflect that they are accountable to
each other in the days that are to
come. And they make so many bad
matches, as q consequence, that they
have 10 get seventy-three times as
many divorces in a year as do the peo-
pie of Ireland.
However, America is not so bad as
the worst. In Japan there are two
hundred and fifteen divorces to the
hundred thousand of population-three |
times as many as are here. In Eng /
land there are two to the hundred thou |

SPEAKING IN MODERATION.

The Evanston CWyo.) Times speaks
more in sorrow than In anger of the
conduct Of a certain Judge Craig Of the
district court there, who seems to be a
very interesting citizen-more inter-
esting than worthy.
BY the Times account, Judge Craig
tried the case of a young man accused
of having stolen an overcoat and valise
while drunk. The drunkenness was
pleaded as mitigating circumstance.
The judge found the accused guilty, and
then enriched fifteen-mOnth peniten-
tiary sentence, with a lecture on the
evils of intoxication.
Then comes this recital:
Leaving the bench that day land
while yet refreshed with the mandate
of a sovereign people, Judge Craig
sauntered into the saloons Of Evanston
and exemplified his own decree that q
man who drinks whisky to excess never
amounts to anything!" Becoming beast
ly drunk and passing insulting remarks
as he wenGed his way through our
streets-stopping women and interrupt
Ing conveTsations-losing all semblance
of a dignified and honorable Judge
that was Judge Craig in Evanston last
week. We refrain from recounting the
disgraceful occurrences which trans
piIed during his drunken debau3h. bUt
If there be a man in authority in the
state q Wyoming who desires proof of
these wtrds, let him apply 60 4 dozen
persons in Evanston-yea hundred.
We don't see any good reason why
Judge Craig should not be relieved of
his high office, and made to under
stand that frolics Of that sort are hard
ly TO be regarded as examples of the
manhood required in Wyoming.

adds his testimony to that of all the
consuls in the far east, and that of
American observers sagaeious enough

they go abroad. And all tell of the
awakening in China.
There is a country with almost five
hundred million popula ton. At the
time of the Boxer uprising the United
States demanded and received a heavy
indemnity from China. few years
later il was ascertained that the
amount paid to this country far ex-
ceeded the damage inflicted on Amer
Jeans and American interests, and the
United States promptly gave back sew
eral millions of dollars to China. The
effect of that fair treatment has been
very gratifying. While the restitution
mas not made with the purpose of gain

WHO WANTS TO CARRY MALT

There are one hundred and seventy
mail routes in Utah on which contracts
are to be made next year.
Data on which to determine the bids,
and blanks for the purpose can be Sc
cured by applying to the postmaster
general of the United States, Frank H
Hitchcock, Washington, D. C.
Proposals will be received at the post
office department until the afternoon
of January four, nineteen-ten; and the
decisions will be announced by the
postmaster general on or before Febru-
airy tenth following.
If any Utah gentleman wants to carry
mail, he has a chance to get all the in
formation needed by securing the data

THE TARIFF ON WOOL.

We of Utah are q good deal interest
ed in the tariff on wool. We do not
believe it is too high That Judgment
is based on the record of the years
and the changes that have come in the
past. Here is a table showing that
whenever the wool duties were below
the present duties the number Of sheep
decreased, and with a duty ss high as
the present. or higher. the number of
sheep increased:
Law 1867 last four years, % per cent
increase, with a duty of 12i5 cents ID.
Law 1888. about six years, 16 per cent
decrease. with a duty of 10 cents ID.
Law 1890, less than four years. 10 per
cent increase. with duty of II cents h.
Law 1894 less than four years, q per
cent decrease. free of duty.
Law 1897 more than twelve years. IS
per cent increase, duty of IL cents per
pound.
At the rate of increase in the last
four years of the law of 1867, with
duty of 121k cents pound, if continued
at the same rate, we would. by 1895.
have produced our entire wool supply.
Under the 10-cent-a-pound duty of
the law of 1853. If continued at the
same rate Of decrease, by 1850 we would
have been without wool.
If the Mckinley act. with II cents
per pound duty. had never been dis
turbed, at the rate of increase under
that act we would have produced all
the wool we now use.
IF the free wool act had never been
repealed, st the rate OF decline under
that act. by 1850 the United States
would have been without wool.
The protectionists argue that the mat
ter for American citizens to decide is
