It is possibly no greacr disgrace to America that divorces arc hero obtained with such facility and upon such paltry pretexts than that marriage are en-tered into so thoughtlessly and so ca-priciously under a deplorable legal sys-ter-that is rather a measure for col-lecting fees than an inMnimcnt for the protection of society. W ere divorews prohibited hy law there would lie fewer rath marriaires, and certainly a wiser attempt to adjust temperamental ine-qualities and personal ditlerenccs to thn end of securing the best results of inevitable condition. There is some, thing iiffai linjr in the fact that, from 1 MiT to lust! inclusive there were ;jtl(J,()fH) divorces (.'ranted in these 1'uitod States and that the proportion has steadily in-- j creased since that time, and bevond all proportion to the increase of popula-tion. This hideous evidence of moral depravity and of the law'n impotence or its prostitution is enough to rouse, one would think, the manhood and woman houd of America to a decisive reformatory movement.

The cover is removed and the bandage loosened, bo that it can be easily removed. There is a horrible groaning and clanking of chains, and suddenly the altar, which has boon saturated with harmless chem-icals, blazes tip, and the bandage is re-moved from the neophyte's eyes. As he raises himself up in the coffin provided ho has nerve enough left ha pecs about the room two or three skela-ton- s, which have Iwen rubbed with phos-phorus and glow vividly in the dark-ness. They are rigged with pulleys and ropes, and slowly they raise their bony fingers and point them at Lira, while a snpulehral voice bids him get out of the collin. AVith a show of conrage, not at all warranted by his feelings, he obeys. A single taper is lighted, aud he sees in the dim ray several masked figures in white rolx-- s standing about him. The cold, clammy body of a dead snake i then put in his hand, and he is made to swear upon it that he will keep the se crets of the order to his dying clay, and defend them with his life if necessary.

The build- - ' ing has a shaft to the cellar, and the cofiin, with the victim in it, is slowly lowered.

We have celebrated the centennial of every important event that marked our early history, but few were more worthy of such attention thau this which it is now proposed to honor. W ith great pomp we honored the of the declaration of independ-once- ; and the day that marked the completion of a century of constitu-tional government was made the occa-sion of a great demonstration. '1 he declaration of independence and the ' framing of the constitution opened the way for the peaceful triumphs with which a free people have astonished the world, but those triumphs have largely (lowed from the ingenuity of the people of the country working under the in-centive j given by our patent laws; and it is eminently proper that ti e centen-nial of the system should be fittingly observed.

Democratic papers have been alternately facetious, satirical and in-dignant over this. Hut as a matter of fact there has not been a time within fifty years that the democratic party in a nat ional contest dared to avow every-where, in every slate of tho union, its real beliefs ami purposes. It has dur-ing all that time been afraid to submit its actual principles to the popular ver-dict. The national victories it has won have been achieved through subterfuge, evasion and misrepresentation. Tun dispatches from Chicago i n i i cale that tho exposition will have a tower feature attached eclipsing Kit r fa's great effort in Paris. 'Che tower Is to be 1 lo"! feet high. It may be a prolitable enterprise, but if Chicago should not secure some smoke consuming device to be put into gen-eral use before J Slt:. visitors to the tower will find the exalted trip exceed-ingly dreary. Tho tens of thousands of tons of I Itumiuoiis coal consumed in that city every day emits a cloud of smoke so dense that a large part of the city would bo invisible een from such an elevated point of view. Tho watery expanse to the east, the prairies to the west and the throbbing metropolis below, would constitute a grand pano-rama if the smoke could be done away with, and if there is to be such a tower at tho exposition, Chicago should make au effort to secure a clear held of vision for those who ascend it.

Dnj-lii- the Civil War Tattnoera Beaped a Harveal Anion- - KeBinen. So clever was ;he artist in tattooing in days of the civil war that every stay, pur or portion of rigging in use on board a warship aprs'arcd outlined upon the human skin with a fidelity in regard to well ni.rh equal to that of ateel engraving. A representation of a fox hunt, which design covered the entire bod)', was a fa-vorite one amjiig navy seamen. Iu most cases this design was skillfully tat-tone- d, and even beautifully, the hunts-men in red coat j, tho horses at full gal-lop, the leaping hounds mid fleoing fox apieanng wonderfully lifelike in their attitudes and proportions. For the or-- ! nameutation of tho arms some design of a national character was usually chosen by men seeking to bo Wtoned, A goddess of liberty bearing tho na-- I tional flag and seated upon a flying eagle's back was for years a favorite do-sig-n among Bailors. A full length pict-ur- o of tho goddess of liberty with hand resting upon a national shield and with tho topmasts of several vessels appear-ing in tho background was another pop-ular design for the forearm. The na-tional coat of arms and also the one pe-culiar to the navy wero popular pieces. Hoatnen of a religions turn of mind usually selected a representation of the crucifixion of Christ to appear on their forearms. Others preferred to have a design representing Christ crowned with thorns appear upon either their back or breast. '"The sailor's farewell," representing a maiden and suilor in the act of parting wit li each other, and with a full rigged thip iu the background, was perhaps the most popular design of the many in use among navy sailors during the war. There were numerous other designs in use, a description of which would occupy more space than can bo afforded in this sketch. The most singularly tattooed man ever met with by tho writer was an in-dividual who during the civil war nerved on board tho sloop of war Han Jacinto. Upon this man's body ajv peared a perfect representation, savo as to color, of the flags of all nations. These designs covered nearly every por-tion of the man's body from the neck downward. Freemasons, Odd Fellows and those belonging to kindred organizations were often wont to adorn their hands, arms and bodies with a whole or a part of the symbols of their respective orders. Of tho smaller desiirns tho initials of one's name was perhaps the most sensible of all others chosen to appear on one's body. The professional t.ittooers did a thriv-ing business in our navy during tho civil war. Tho price demanded by them for the work they performed varied with tho size aud character of the design chosen by the person to be tattooed. The price for tattooing tho fox hunt was fixed at $70. For a full rigged ship $25 was demanded. For any piece requiring time and tho exercise of. more than ordinary skill in its completion a sum ranging from $10 to $70 was demanded. The placing of a star or anchor upon a man's hand was a simple affair with s, who for tattooing cither design charged fifty cents. Certain of the celebrities in tattooing serving in our navy during the civil war left the service having in their possession quite a respectable sum of money ob-tained by them iu the steady pursuit of their peculiar calling. Bill Haswell, of Baltimore, who in hin day was held to be unequaled as a tattooer, is said to have retired from tho navy after a cruise of twenty-si- x months with upward of $.".0tit) over and above bis regular pay, which was that of a seaman.

The persons who are endeavoring to secure a decision of the courts on the right of the mint to refuse free coinage of silver are deserving of great credit. If tho matter is ever brought before the I'nited Mates supreme court in the right shape and is properly argued that tribunal will bo forced to decide that the constitution designed that both gold and silver should be legal tender for the payment of debts, and that a denial of tiie use of either metal for that pur-pose is a violation of iu letter and its spirit. Tiik aermon delivered hy Rev. Mr. Lank Snuday evening to the newspaper men was an ableetTort, anil itcoutained many truths that those out of tho pro-fession as well as those within tho ranks can alVord to take to their hearts. We must recognize the influences that keep the race in the pathway of improve-ment, lifting it higher and higher above those things that count for evil and degradation. Men may scoff and join the multitude who aro endeavoring to pull down all that is sacred in human institutions and all that is noble and pure iu human character, hut truth re-mains impregnable and righteousness continues to be the hopo of mankind. Thm WuHtern t'oDgroil. Denver Iteii!bllran. The idea of inviting representatives af the South American slates to attend the western congress which is to assem-ble in Denver on the ltl! h of next May is good. Tho original purpose iu call-ing this congress was to advance tho in-terests of the western part of the union, without regard to international rela-tions. But the far west is so closely connected with South and Central America in respect to trade that it would bo proper to inciude all the Latin-America- n states in the congress. Bringing Them Aruuntl. San Francisco Chronicle. San Domiugo is ready to conclude a treaty with tho United States which will give this country unquestioned trade advantages. The suspensive clause of the McKinley bill is having a wonderful effect on our southern neigh-bors, and will probably in a very brief period, bring about that very happy condition of things which free traders say ought to exist, of our exports and import uaarly WuuuLuk uauli other. Ji'DCE Andk.IvSom this morning de-cided that the city could not be enjoined from contracting with tho Deep Creek railroad people for tho sale of the old Fort block. The result of the case will be peculiarly gratifying to all who desire to see Salt Lake progress. The judge's remark that it might be better to sell the property for $tr0,000 if an important railroad- could thereby be secured, than ti gel ','o),()0() for U without any inch atrendant considera-tion, was well timed. The price of the lot is a mere bagatelle compared with the measure of the beuelitthat urn building of the proposed road will secure for the city. Trying to Stir I p a War. New York World. Half a dozen men in Europe seem to be planning another war w hich will cost thousands of lives and millions of money. Some day the people will get tired of providing that kind of amuse-ment for their war lords and kings, and set those mischievous persons to looking for honest employment. AecoitiUNi; to reports from Ottawa, Canada' military forces and coast de-fences are to bo strengthened. Just whattthe cause of these preparations is, is not stated, but Sai.ishi hy is prob-ably contemplating a fresh diplomatic attack upon Washington. Uriiish ef-forts to assist diplomatic mameuvers in this country by exhibitions of military activity across the border have not been successful heretofore, and will not be in the future. The last Canadian election showed that that country can never be used by Kngland in a military demonstration against the United States. The Telephone Kesponslble. Until tho introduction of the tele-phon- o tho retailer of toys and notions never knew what it was to incur bad debts. IIo did not have to placard his store with "pleaso don't ask for credit" signs, for 1:0 one seemed to think of coming in to buy toys or trifles unless he had the wherewithal handy to pay for thorn.- But now orders come by telephone which no one likes to ignore, nor can ihc c. o. d. system bo rigidly en-forced, however much one may try. So every year a larger sum has to be written off to profit and loss as "bad debts," for the amounts, although large in the ag-gregate, are too small to make their collection a commercial possibility. Another bad result from the tele-phone, so fur as this business is con-cerned, is tho increased percentage of goods which have to be delivered. Toys bought over tho counter are nearly al-- ways taken home, but telephone orders have to be sent, however trifling tho profit may bo. I know of two instances in which telephones have been aban-- i doned in the hope of forcing a return tc tho old regime. But the wheels of prog-ress cannot be clogged, and as long as there is an obliging druggist iu the block to receive aud forward orders, and a rival store close by with a telephone in it, tlie new order of things will co-ntinueInterview in !St. Lotus Olobe-Lvuiucr- WHAT HAS MADE A (iHKAT CITV. As we walk about Denver and note the hiisl-re- No kK nnd residences that. live heeii built with money dim out of the mines of Cen-tral, ioorrrctowu, Lea.lvllle. Aspen, Onray, Rer! Mountain and other localities, we can nut ) e impressed with a senso of Denver's de-pendence upon the development of the Kolileit and silvern wealth of the mountains for her growih aud her D 'liver's icrowth for the future wlllof course te In even pace with the rate of the develop-men- t of tlie varied resources of Colorado and the Rocky mountain country uenerally. Tho Uteat m !! in hns. Indeed, other resources than those of the mlnee of the precious metal. It tis fcas coal and iron mines, oil fleldi. preat "j nd hes of fertile land, ami almost limitless ij in mimi r rint.,.s for cattle and eheep. Yet it has heen the charm of uol I aud silver that has brought population and capital to the country, that has made Its crowth, and has built up Its t s Denver Sun. The foregoing contains a lesson which the people of Salt. Lake can afford to study with the greatest care. No one attempts to deny that the greatness and the graudeur of Denver have come to the city from the development of the miui.ig industry of the state. There is no one who would ueslic the fact that Denver has risen to the position of a great metropolis. The facts are all unquestioned and unquestionable; and it may also bo noted that the (jucen city is forging ahead today fully as rap-idly as ever before in its history. We hear of steel works, woolen mill and other industrial enterprise of all kinds being in immediate prospect lor that place, while tho wealth llowing in from tlie mines is a constantly increasing stream. The mines gave the place its great start and they continue to add to its pros-perity, while the prosperous conditions existing attract business in all lines that tend to converge at and expand a commercial and industrial center. Ne one ueed criticise Tiik Times for Its candid acknowledgement of Den-ver's advancement. It is right that tho picture should be presented faithfully, for there is no observant person who will not agree wiih him who advances the proposition that the advantages at this time )y Salt Lake are far greater than those from which Denver secured its impulse of growth and pros- - perity. Our neighbor city presents an object lesson that should encourage j every progressive citizen of Salt Lake to renewed exertion. We have but to go to work upon the ' lines along which the men of Denver j moved to make this city the most im-portant point in tho country long before the close of the j century. If we secure the development of the mining districts of the territory; if we labor early and late to make this i the market for Utah ores; if w e get be-hind and push projects for building railroads to tho new mining regions; if we make a united and untiring effort to advance the interests of the territory's mining industry and the industries allied with it, wo will soou feel an im-pulse of growtli that will carry Salt Lake far beyond the Colorado city. I Thiscan be made agrcat manufacturing point, and when we get the mining j business pushed far enough forward the representatives of other industries will not wait to bo invited to locate here. Wiiii.k we have dry streets now the mud of the past few weeks should not be forgotten. There does not seem to be any good reason why people should be compelled to wado through mud in tho residence section any more than on the business streets. Those who pro- - test against sidewalks will admit their error alter tho w alks shall have been laid. There should be no portion of the city inhabited by any considerable number of people where pedestrians could not move about dry shod. AN OLD TIME INDIAN TERROR. An Aged Indian Who for Ten Years Ter-rorized the Settl.-ri- . of Arizona. They were talking about Indian out-breaks when one of tho party, who had been for many years a resident of Ari-itun- a territory, remarked: I tell yon, gentlemen, that this Indian business is pretty serions. Why, down in Arizona we lived for fifteen years in a Plato of terror on account of a maraud-ing band of Apaches that had things pretty much their own way all this time, in spite of ail tho government tnxipa could do to keep them in chock. I call to mind particularly Old Vic-tori- There was a warrior for you. He commanded a band of some 200 bucks. They wero tho C'hirueahna Apaches, and the murders, robberies and depredations committed by that, baud during those ten years in which they were on the warpath aro almost incredible. Old Victorio was nearly 1)0 years of age when the troubles began. IIo ruled those redskins with a rod of inu in Fpite of his years. And he was para-lyzed, too, completely paralyzed. Ha was only able to nso his left arm a little, just enough to lift a cigarette to his mouth. lie was constantly in tho saddle), and had to bo strapped on like a bale of goods. His baud had the finest ponies to bo found anywhere. They would sometimes appear at one place, and iu lets than twenty-fou- r hours yon wuuld hear of them Mime place 100 miles dis- - j taut. All throughout southern Arizona nnd northern Mexico old Victorio con-tinued bis raids until tho settlers finally gave up iu despair. Tho government troops appeared to be utterly iiowerlesa in the mat ter. Why, that band of rodnkius would Romotimos plunder a wagon train right under the n.-s- es of the troopers, and by tlie time tho latter were mounted aud ready to start iu pursuit they would bo out of sijht. The next day, perhaps, ths wires would tell of some fresh depreda- - tii ui committed by tho sumo band in a section of tho country over 100 miles away. This oh', war dog, however, was finally rounded up and shot. He died in tho saddle, li'iiiiig to tho last, and his band, what was left of it, dispersed. Of course tho settlers heard i.f it and wero delighted. Dismay followed, however, when Cochise took the field. This In-dian ran tliing.i pretty much tho same way for five year.-:- .

There is no doubt that he is possessed of military genius; and it is probable that many Frenchmen hope for his assistance in case of the break-ing out of war. Ho may have plotted against tho republic but tho French heart would quickly turn to him if his ' arm were needed to win victories over the nation's ancient enemy. Somi: Italians in Kingston, .N.

Among the numerous army of veterans which t amo to this capital Sunday we observed several women who, shoulder-ing their guns with lielt.i girded to their loins, inarched, keeping time to the drums, and showing by their bearing and demeanor as much discipline as the bet Hilditr.

It is well understood that j some sort of an agreement exists be- - tween the two governments, but such a visit as that proposed would bring it out in such a strong light that the peace of Kurope might be placed in jeopardy. The adjourned meeting of the ex-changes to disi usa tho world's fair mine project will he held at the mining ex-change tomorrow evening.
