DEATH OF PROFESSOR STEWART.

The Tribune is unfeignedlv sorry TO
be obliged to record the death of Pro
fessor William NJ Stewart head of the
Normal School instruction in this State.
Professor Stewart has devoted his at
tention altogether to the normal school
work for upwards of twenty years. He
made for himself distinguished posi-
tion in that department of instruc
tion. He impressed himself forcibly
and we'll upon the system of normal
school instruction in Utah. 1t was his
effort from time TO time to raise the
standard Just as fast and as high as the
opportunities woud permit, and in the
course of his work he attained a snc~
cess that was widespread and distinct
i've. The work that he has done in
this direction will bear fruit con-
tinually, and he must be recognized as
the father Of normal school instruction
in Utah. His efforts in the training of
tea achers and elevating the courses of
instruction throughout the State will
always be remembered to his credit.
Professor Stewart was supposed until
very recent time to be in good health
and free from any heart trouble, but it
appears that this malady developed
very rapidly, and his death came on
with a suddcnness that has grieved and
amazed the community, which was not
prepared for any such immediate termi
nation of his life. Hardly any man in
the State will be more missed than Pro
fessor Stewart, and the sympathy that
his family will receive in consequence
of his death will be widespread and

PRESIDENTIAL INCONSISTENCY.

President Wilson supports the con-
tention of Attorney McNab that the
alleged white slave cases in California
be pushed to immediate prosecution
but dismisscs McNab from office. That
is, he supports the action Of the here
tofore Federal prosecutor, but con-
demns his person. And he will have to
employ at considerable expense and
disadvantage special counsel to do what
would have been better and more eco
nomically done without the change.
In like manner, he condemns the act
of Attorney General McReynolds in
ordering the postponement of the cases,
but supports the Acknowledgement per
sonally. And when Mr.. Reynolds made
the comment, on receiving Attorney
McNab's resignation, that he was
glad to accept that sort Of paper
from a Republican of6ce-holder, he
threw a dash Of politics into the case
that was wholly unwarranted and that
is wholly contemptibe.
Here is tangle of inconsistencies
that is likely to be brought up in a
Congressional investigation; also in the
Federal Court Of the district of North
eru California; and If the Judge of
that court should yield to the applica.
tion Of the defense for a postponement,
as he will be very likely to do, the
whole affair will seem like tempest
in q teapot.
The further suggestion that Mr.. He
ney may be called in to prosecute the
case adds TO the absurdity Of the whole
situation. 1t is deep pity that the
scandalous offense charged in this
case. being one Of the worst offenses
against social decency that possibly
could be committed, politics and Off
cial jangling should be permitted to
have sway, or indeed anything what
ever to do with such malodorous case.
As the matter stands, the offense
itself is not only a striking instance of
social depravity, but it appears to be
opening up further channels Of even
crater degradation and vice,
If. Attorney McNab wanted to start
a scandalous furore, he has certainly
taken the right way about it, and the
connections of the case appear to af-
ford so many ramifications Of vicious
conduct, that ample material will
doubtless be provided for first,class
National scandal.

CHINA WAS DESPERATE.

The refusal Of the United States to
continue further in the concord of six
powers to furnish needed money as a
loan to China, reduced the Chinese gov
ernment to desperate straits. 1t was
expected that the United States would
continue along with the other five
powers to furnish the money which the
troops and to meet other current and
urgent expenses. The withdrawal Of
the United States from that agreement
put the matter up in the air again,
and Yuan Shi Kai was put to the ex-
tremity of considering an independent
which China would borrow SIS, 900,
but would get less than half Of this
amount in cash, and would be obliged
to take from Austria six torpedo boats
and from Germany six destroyers, at
price fixed by Austria and Germany
which was absolutely ruinous, aud as
China did not want the torpedo boats
or the destroyers and could not possibly
make any use Of them. they being
antiquated and superseded by more
modern vessels, the situation was a
usurious one for China,
This condition will probably explain
the avidity with which President Yuan
Shi Kai welcomed the conclusion Of the
negotiations whereby the flve powers
left in the agreement would furnish
China the sl25,000,o0o which it 30 much
needed. The Chinese Parliament did
what it could TO oppose the acceptance
of this loan of $l25,000,000 from the
FIVE powers, since the loan carried with
il concessions Of various Kinds. which
China gives up practically for nothing,
but which are exceedingly valuable
These concessions. however, are simply

TARIFF PROGRAMME SUSTAINED.

We see that the caucus of
Democratic Senators has overwheln-
ingly sustained the programme Of
President Wilson with regard to
sugar and wool. Ten Democratic
Senators were found to vote against
free sugar, but the free sugar
partisan5 outnumbered them more than
three to one, and the President pro-
gramme will be put through intact as to
sugar.
To be sure, the caucus rule Of party
unanimity has not been adopted directly
and peremptorily as vet But it will
doubtless be adopted and the ten Demo
cratic Senators who voted against free
sugar will be obliged to vote for it or
forfeit their party standing and their
positions as sound Democrats. They will
also, as foreshadowed in the dispatches
from time to time, be denied by Presi
dent Wilson the pie.counter service that
the Democratic Senators find so desir-
able and dear. If these ten Democratic
Senators, or even if as many as four
out OF the ten, would vote against
free sugar, and hold so to the very
end. then free sugar would be
beaten. 1t is possible, even yet, that
Senator Sha afroth s proposition to put
duty on sugar Of half a cent pound
at the expiration Of three years, in place
of putting sugar upon the free list
at that time, may be adopted by the
Senate Still, the casting Of four
Democratic votes for this proposition
when the bill comes formally before the
Senate is extremely unlikely; and even
if that number were cast at first against
free sugar in the Senate, the House
would disagree, and in conference the
free sugar clause would be restored with
hardly the possibility of defeat Of free
sugar in the final vote on the adoption
of the conference report.
Free wool, of course, goes into the
same routine as sugar. with even less
| opposition. The immediate putting of
| wool upon the free list is, therefore, to
| be confidently expected; but, as ex-
planned by the president Of the Tailor
ing Association of the United States,
| no IeQUCIlOHs III Ine pIlCS OI WOODEN
clothing is to be expected by reason of
free wool, This is precisely the position
taken by The Tribune all along; and We
believe that the same will be true as to
the cost Of sugar; for the combines are
in control ard prices are dictated. not
| by the cost of production or a fair
profit, but by arbitrary rule, precisely
as the price of butter has heretofore
been fixed by representatives of the
butter combine. in Elein.
Yet. there seems a disposition among
the Democratic Senators to accept the
amendments reported by the Senate
Finance Committee. Some of these
amendments are good. such as the crea-
tion of a tariff commission, the increase
Of the tariff on lead and zinc, and
various amendments that have been
made to the income tax provisions of
the law.

It will not be very long now until

here in attendance upon the conven-
tion of the National Education Asso.
citation. 1t is time for the people of
this city to get seriously down to bust
ness as TO the entertainment of these
teachers. since not as much accommoda-
tlon has been rendered as the commit
tee desires The coming teachers are
among the best people of every COM
munity, well educated, we'll bred, ard
thoroughly trained in the best amenities
of life. AT the same time, they are not
wealthy people. They live by their call
ing. and their salaries, as rule, are
not extravagant. It would be good
thing If the people of this city could
take the mass Of the teachers to their
homes and entertain them free Of
charge; but since more or less expense
will be necessary in opening the house
holds of the city to visitors, it is eS-
pected that some charge will be made
in most cases
It is recommended by those in charge
Of the entertaining of the teachers that
the charges be made in every case as
light as possible, so that the teachers
will be induced to stay here for at least
week, or longer if they can. It is to
the advantage of the city to have these
teachers among us, and it is to the ad-
vantage of every one that these visitors
obtain the best possible impression of
Salt Lake City and of its people To
that end, they should be induced TO stay
as long as may be, SO that they. can
learn as much about us as they can
and about the city and State, as their
stay will permit. And the prolonga-
ton Of that stay is to our advantage
as well as to theirs, since it will result
in more and better understanding and
higher appreciation of everything
good and desirable here than r. mere
busy, hasty stay of two or three days
could give,
The entertainment committee is send
ing out invitations to the people to state
how many teachers they can take into
their homes and accommodate, and
what the charge will be in each case.
The hope Of the committee is that the
charges will be made reasonable, so that
the teachers will have a longer stay in
this city than they could afford if the
charges are put high. It is no doubt
true that accommodations in private
houses are fully as good and fully as
we'll worth the money as the accommo-
dations and charges would be in hotels,
And yet, whatever concessions the peo-
pie of this city can make in throwing
open their homes for the accommoda-
ton of the teachers will be deeply ap
preciated by the committee, and no
doubt also by the teachers who will en-
JOY the hospitality thus extended.
In view of all the conditions of the
problem, therefore, Salt Lake City's
people can well afford to make the
charges light and make all attractive
to the teachers, so that they may be
with us as long as possible.
