FIRES AND FIREPROOFING.

In view OF the fact that Utah is
about to build capitol, too much stress
cannot be. laid upon the necessity of
having that capitol, and particularly
the vaults in which the archives are to
be stored, absolutely freproof. 1t is
true, also, that the whole building
should be iireproof, because invaluable
material is likely to be lost, material
that could not possibly be replaced if
the capitol should burn. This happened
in the Ere which inflicted such damage
upon the capitol of New York Price
less manuscripts. relics, autogra phs,
and documents were destroyed by that
fire in large numbers. The same has
happened twice to the State of Mis-
souri,. 1t is happening from time to
of course, in the burning of cspitols,
but in the burning of treasures beyond
computation in value in various public
structures Therefore The Tribune is
insistent upon the point of absolute Sc.
curity against fire in the construction
Of our State capitol
\ recent warning in the same direc-
tion is conveyed through the FIRE at
Bangor, Maine. Examination of the
vaults in the ruins of the postofire
and custom house there have shown
that all the records and other valuable
property contained therein were de-
stroyed by fire Large values in
postage stamps and currency went up
In smoke. The stamps, of course, can
be replaced on proof of their being de
stroyed; currency can be replaced e II
can be identified. hut large numbers Of
registered letters and packages were de
stroyed. the values. of which no one eau
he fireproof. but il turns out that they
were not As expressed by Bangor
builder and expert in such work,
''they were a Joke This loss in
Bangor reinforces the plea for abso.
lutely fireproof construction in all pub
lie buildings.
Utah has been very fortunate hereto
fore in it's keeping from loss valuable
public documents and property by
fire. But we cannot expect immunity
always unless we provide for it. Now
this provision can be absolutely and Sc
curely made, and now Is the time to
make it. while the building plans are
soon to be considered, and while all
the arrangements for safety, security,
and absolute protection will be COM

THE HONDURAN TREATY.

There has not been much said re.
Gently about the treaty with Hondu-
ras, which was some time ago aptly
described as "dollar diplomacyD at
far. The gist Of II was that an Amer
ican syndicate headed by the John p.
Morgan interests, was to lend some
$12.000,000 to Honduras at rate to
be fixed, and the United States govern.
mcnt to guarantee that Honduras would
honor the loan, meet the interest, and
provide for the repayment Of the prin-
cipal. The negotiations involved also
q form Of financial control Of the rcve.
nues of Honduras by American of
fcials, similar to that exercised
by us in Santo Domingo. But the ar
rangement entered into in Santo Do
mingo was rather an impulsive one,
hastilyl conceived and put into effect
in order to head off what seemed to be
the determination of European credi-
tors, backed by their governments, TO
take possession Of the revenues of Santo
Domingo, and apply them wholly TO the
cxtinguishmcnt of financial claims AS
serted in Europe, but partly disputed
by Santo Domingo. The arrangement
made, whereby Americans were TO ad-
minister the finances of Santo Domingo
and under which arrangement they have
administered them for some years, was
satisfactory to the European creditors
But the case Of Honduras is differ
ent. There is no impending financial
crisis there, which threatens the inter
vcntion of European powers and the
taking over of the public moneys OF
that country. The negotiation, there
fore, would seem to be speculative
rather than an urgent practical prop.
osition, To extend this supervision
over Honduras by our government would
form precedent that would alarm 9th.
er Central American countries, and
would give handle for the foes OF
us. and to frighten away many of our
friends in the Latin republics Secre.
tary KnoX's diplomacy is involved in
this, as it was involved in the Nicara-
qua affair, and that policy has come TO
grief in Nicaragua. The precedent,
therefore, is not favorable towards an
other expedition under the same sort
Of policy, into Honduras It is an ag-
gressivc policy which is bound to lose
us friends III Latin America, and it
seems, moreover, to be a scheme where
by the government is used as shield
to protect speculative movement upon
Honduras, which the spectators fear
Honduras would not itself meet if it
wero not backed by the United States.
1t is no surprise, therefore, to hear
that the Senate is likely to reject this
Honduran treaty, substantially all the
Democratic Senators opposing it, and a
number of the Republican Senators
agreeing with them in that opposition.

But it's such a little thing says
Mrs. Bowser as the boy takes his heels
in alright
"It may be a little thing. but look
at the principle of the thing. A cob

will lie about greater things. He must
be made to understand that we know
he lies

Well, why wasn't you tied on? I did

Didn't think I'd care for the shoes
