ABDUL HAND BREAKS JAIL.

There is story from Turkey tor the effect that
Abdul Hamid' the depOsed sultan, had escaped from
his palatisI prison at Salonca and had been recap
tured and returned.
The sultan had complained of trouble with his
bathroom There a leak; and while treasures
always had enjoyed that defect while he the
throne he objected to it in bathroom. So they

Abdul is a tidy man. and objected to the unwashed
condition of the mental. That worthy mechanic
being loyal follower of Islam, had been in the habit
of taking his by rolling the sand. the
custom of the first and only true Mahommet So it is
possible the complaint was well lodged And the
plumber took off his clothes to take a barhein the
sultans tub, and while he there Abdul apprO-
prated the discarded clothes, dressed himself in
them, and walked out of the palace with pair of
tOngs in his hand.
All would have been well but for the fact that the
depOsed sultan found people who would nrostrate
themselves before him. If he had been in the United
States and the had been at the beginning
Of winter, his wish would have been gratiaed Rut
in land where plumbing be open OF closed with,
out causing any discomfort, the with the tongs
passed unsauted through the throng
So he struck soldier of the guard over the beal

imperial robes beneath the stained skirt of the art
san And they took him back to Jail
Abdul made the mistake of choosing Turkey in
stead of Salt Lake, and the imperial throne instead
of the swivel chair of the inner circle of what is
called the American party If he had been here and
had commanded any member of his party to bow
the knee, the command would have been obeyed
Or else the cuprit instead of the ruler would

WHY THERE is NO CAPITOL.

Do you remember that day last summer when the
people of Utah voted the question of raising
money for the building of a state house?
That was the day when the American party
proved its treason to every obligation of progress
sveness, every demand of the states advancement.
Leaders of that party stood firm and strong
against the capitol election because the governor of
the state Republican They openly said they
regarded it giving too much prestige to the Re
publcans. They preferred to keep the state without
a home of its own, rather than trust the man the
people had elected governor of Utah.
Every influence they could bring to bear felt
by friends of the movement. 1t was not the oppos-
ton of Ogden-which be forgiven. 1t was not
the indifference Of the less popuous counties-whch
was to be expected. 1t the jealous and shabby
opposition of the very men who have been boasting
that they expressed the progressive spirit of the
state.
1t is perfectly well known how much the bosses
of the American party helped Ogden its campaign
against the state house. And the organ of the bosses
has within the week simply followed the beginning
in last July, when it brazenly declares:
OGDEN OUGHT TO BE THE METROPOLIS
OF UTAH"
They have fought the state wherever they could
get audience in every part of the Union. They in
1icted double blow both state and city they
defeated the wish of the people to have a capitol
building in Utah.
Traitors to the city traitors the state united in
nothing but hatred of Republicans and the lust for
loot, they shaming the true and earnest menu
bers of the American party and committing them
to by no means worthy.

MISTAKE OF SPAIN.

The killing of Francisco Ferrar by military
court of Spain is another mistake by the troubled
nation. Ferrar was an educator. a thinker, man
of progressive ideals and with record for great
useful labor
He represented too much of the capability. the
sense, the value and the strength of Spain to be
condemned to death for his utterances. Men of his
kind worth more alive than dead. They are
more troublesome after execution than they could
be in their lives.
In the course of civil "Vallandigham of
Ohio" became annoyance to the Union forces, and
President Lincoln directed that he be escorted

whom he ardent advocate. The nation
laughed at his punishment. Vaandigham escaped
to Canada, and returned to Ohio where he again
began his TRADES against the forces Of the nation.
And Lincoln directed that he be left entirely alone
People still laughed at him for having been sent to
the south instead of the gbbet. He a rebel

attention than expressed in rdicue, he subsid-

If he had really represented a vital element in the
north, he would not have subsided. But he did not

impressiveness till it would have troubled the loyal
states most seriously.

older days The slaughter of a like Ferrar in

MExIco's TART REPLY.

One of the irreconcable undertaking magazines of
the United States recently began the publication of
series of articles tending to prove that shocking
condition of slavery exists in Mexico Pictures are
presented prove the truth Of the charges 1t must
be said the pictures by support the text;
but they to be the best the undertaking author
could produce.
Replying to the rather startling article the Mex
lean Daily Herald usually considered to speak with
authority from President Diaz himself declares that
the author need not have gone far from home to
find precisely the same system i'm operation. 1t was
not necessary for him to risk his life as he says he
aid, to expose the Slavery of Yucatan when he
might have obtained a series of articles as sensa-
tional and subject to exaggeraton by simply living
little while in the lumber camps Of California and
the northwest" The Record admits that the labor
contract system and the system of compelling labor
ers in debt to stay with the job bad" but it
contended that the laws of the United States are
quite stringent in these respects those of Mex

debt who attempts leave the without a set
Element of his account be arrested. That the
Yaqu Indians sold by the Mexican government is
held by the Record editorial no different in prn-
ciple from the system of convict contract labor in
use in the state of Georgia And if Mr.. Turner had
visited any of the pententares the United States
he would have found able-bodied convicts working
for the state working for private contractors who
had bought the privilege of working these slaves
of the commonwealth"
And that seems to constitute pretty good replv
Gentlemen who set the world right should go

And until all cruelty and injustice shall have been
forsaken here at home, it would have been well to
maintain beautiful if unremuneratve silence as to
countries other than our own.

JAMES M. BARRIE DIVORCED.

One would think that any worthy woman could
live very happily always with the author of THE
Bonnie Brar Bush" And yet the author of that
excellent story has had to get from his wife what
the Bible calls "a bill of enforcement" And the
womans utter revolt from him, her openly expressed
preference for another man, makes the final sepa-
ration complete as it must be regrettabe.
The man who could call the character of Lachlan
Campbell from the nowhere, and make 1t definite
and actual London bridge would appear to be
desirable companion for any with spark of
soul in her. entire composition. And the wife he
chose had been actress. She is supposed TO have
been capable of sentiment capable of approaching
beautiful thoughts, subject impressions from such
creative work as that of Barrie.
And he had seen enough of the world to know
women well men. He had found this woman
in the mimic world She is said to be beautiful but
Barrie must have been too wise to be fascinat-
ed solely by fair face and attractive form.
And so the man with the finest possible apprecia-
ton of loves demands and loves obligations makes
shipwreck of his venture-whie leading his
imagined character securely into the land of life
long trust and faith and happiness.
1t is misfortune that all the reading world will
share with Mr. Barrie.

eUREKA's WORTHY ACTION.

Through all the years of Utahs future it will be
remembered that Eureka the first city of the
state to take advantage of the library stun
law, and enrich it's people with building in which
the youth and the age of the community could re-
reive mental and physical advancement without the
contamination of any harmful influence.
1t is step which should be emuIated by other
cities.
And because Eureka has done so excellent thing.
it is fitting and proper that Governor Spry Unit
ed States Senator Sutherland and other of note
should go there and join with the people of the town
in celebration
The speeches delivered by those at the library
establishment all typical of Eurekas strong de-
sire for fe's advancement for the best possible in
huencesfOr that age-old desire expressed by Enoch
Arden: "To give the boy better bringing up than
his had been"
Eureka will have a good library 1t will have a
good gymnasium. It viii have good books, and rea-
sonabe instruction in athletics. The blood of its
young people will be made clearer and cleaner and
purer and stronger for the to which this new
enterprise will be put. And all the state will be bet
ter because one town has advanced itself.

WOODEN MILL AT HYRUM.

There is wooden mill in profitable operation at
Hyrum. 1t is not a very big scale, but it is
handling the wool of Utah, and putting out product
that the people buy for money and find immensely
useful
Ihere is no more reason for sending the wool Of
east. Not a whit
1t would be just as reasonable for our people to
ship the beets to Missouri river towns or to the At
lantic seaboard where there are reneries and then
buy the perfected sugar. as to send these noun
tains of wool east to the mills every year. and then
buy it back again in manufactured state. There
isn't reason on earth why wool cannot be worked
up into cloth here in Utah if it can h. 1,d mn
into cloth anywhere else under the sun Here l. the
place for the wooden mills. And if there ts 49, a.
mand for wooden products-and all men know, 49,
is-that demand be supplied by the Utah ,ou1s
the mills that to be-quite as we'll as by anv
other.
