DIAZ'S RESIGNATION.

The words and phrases in which
President Diaz in Mexico couchcs h-
resignation are manly, digniied, patri
otic, He places the welfare of his
country above all else, and sinks per
sonal considerations, rcsigninC 10 bring
peace TO the afflicted republic
in his long service as n President of
Mexico he has given that country Il
standing, an influence, and prosperity
such rs it never before realized, and
we fear that it will lose very much III
his resignation, But that resignation
appears TO have Quieted the clamor and
restored at least partial peace, and thus
it is to be emphatically commended.
De la Barra takes the Presidency with
the confidence of all, and the hope of
tranquility is bright
II is to be hoped that the insurrec.
tionary bands who still keep up their
turbulence in various parts Of Mexico
may be easily suppressed, for all the
world wishes well to Mexico, and ali the
world has kindly feelings for President
Diaz. His resignation will raise him in
the estimation Of every one. and his pa
triotic sentiments will be appaudcd,
we trust, in Mexico as they are else

THE BUSINESS MEMS APPEAL.

The appeal TO the public of Salt Lake
from it's business men. against prohibi.

and strong attention, 1T is the sort
of IN appeal that cannot lie dismissed
with shrug, nor minimizcd with fran
tic opposing arguments, or put down
with depreciation or abuse.
The list Of signatures is a distin.
gulshed one; the names OF the signers
mean much in the business world of
salt Lake. The statements made in
this appeal TO Reason are such as
TO command attention and respect. The
opinions expressed are the opinions of
men who are entitled to consideration
and who do not lightly sign papers set
before them; they investigate, come

The Descret News undertakes to cX-
plain that President Joseph f. Smith
did no more than merely TO support his
wives and the children born 10 them
prior TO the Manifesto, Il glarlng dc

sciously gives its adherence 10 polyg-

Joseph f. Smith s conscientious regard
for duty decided him TO live with his
wives and submit to whatever penalty
the law against unlawful ohabItatlon
demanded TO be honest, the News
should have admitted here that Joseph
T. Smith violated the amnesty com
pact, violated his own testimony given
in the cschcat hearing as TO the mean
ing of the Manifesto. and violated the
law of the State. which clearly con
iemplatcd that no more polyGamous
offspring should ne born. President
Smith, in his testimony in the Smoot
case, admitted that eleven children had
been born TO him since the Manifesto,
that he had violated his pledge with
respect 20 this. He admitted that the
Manifesto was revelation which he
had disobeyed, that the polygamous
living which he persisted in was vio-
lation of the law of the Stare. the fol
lowing being a brief extract from the
testimony on this point. Being asked
by Mr.. Tayler, els the cohabitation

church as we'll as the law Of the land?''

the case, and is the case today and

EooIhardy Snake Keeper.

The only fatal case of snake bite on
record In the London Geological gar
dens was directly due to the foolish
ness of the victim. He was In charge
OF the snakes. and coming In one
morning with some friends began to
boast of his power over the creatures
and the extent to which they would
submit to be played with by one
whom they knew. This led to prac-
tical experiments, the overconfident
keeper taking an Indian cobra from
its comfortable sleeping place, and de-
claring he was a snake charmer pro-
ceeded to swing 1t about his head and
play other tricks with it.
A native snake charmer would have
known there was no more certain way
to rouse the snakes temper than this.
for the. race abhors rough handling
or sudden movement of any sort. The
result Of the exploit was that the
keeper was bitten on the nose. He
was hurried OF to the hospital but
died In a few hours.
