Richards; the noble, the tender, the scholar, the glorious; whose benignancy spread peace amongst his fellow men and soothed the shock of all lifes turmoils. No land and no people ever produced a kindlier soul; no people ever bad more cause for affectionate memory of grandeur and tenderness united in one man. He has passed away; and where he stood there is perpetual vacancy. No other living soul doth fill his place. Then comes Chauncey W. West; a doer of deeds; a soldier without fear and without reproach; a master builder of the edifices of civilization. He was swift in his mental movements as the eagle in its flight. By his single power he could, and did, achieve what vast aggregations of men must now combine to do. He was a giant of the commonwealth; vhere he looked the desert faded; where lie set bis hand the city sprang. He has passed away; and where his generous, conquering being moved, we do not see his like. And last, and still remaining with us, Lorin Farr, whose long life and whose deeds have compassed the mightiest progress ever recorded for the human race'. Lorin Farr, the man who feared and fears no thing on earth; who has been a hero and builder from his boyhood; whose name has meant more for Ogden than that of any other living man; who stood the compeer of the young men of Nau-vo- o and the mighty matured men of Utah Territory, and now stands one of the few re- -. maining human splendors of our two generations gone. . tion? Suppose that this nation, in fulfillment of the prophecy made many, many times by the News, were to throw aside the entire constitution as a wornout garment; and suppose that, among other flagrant departures from the spirit of our institutions, the government were to renew its wholesale prosecution and persecution of the saints in this and other states and territories of the union; would the News say that there was much foolishness in the criticism of the government? Would it then counsel acquiescence? Or would it return to its old righteous and militant attitude of resisting wrong and prophesying condemnation to the state or people which perpe- trated iniquity? It will be worth while to watch the evolution of this strange system of ethics, placed so ably before the people by the News the oldest and greatest newspaper of the intermountain country, and the mouthpiece of the living oracles of eternal justice.

Just a little In another column of this page is reprintec an editorial article from the Salt Lake Desere News of last evening under the title The Panama Question. It is commended to the thoughtful observer as an indication of the tendency of the times. It should be read with the knowledge tha the United States guaranteed the unity o Colombia by treaty, and that we have dividec Colombia by setting up the Republic of Panama. The News, always a high authority upon ethics, presents the view that it is foolish for Americans to criticise our government for violation of its solemn covenants; and practically admits that might makes right in national action, holding out the more or less remote consolation that some time, when the Prince of Peace shall come, justice will have her sway among the peoples of the world anc intimating that until such time, the opposed and their sympathizers would better hold their peace. No more startling example of the movement of modern thought could be discovered.

There is much foolishness In the home criticisms of our government The fact may be very much regretted, but It is, nevertheless, a fact that In the dealings of nations with another, unselfishness has no place. Very seldom that godly quality appears In the transactions between man and man, and often that which looks like unselfishness Is found to be opposite; but between nations. It unfortunately, unknown. Mankind has not advanced many Inches away from the old robber maxim that might makes right. Some time this will be reversed; some time right will make might but the time has not yet come, how much the fact may be regretted. And we must take things as they are, not as they ought to be. Otherwise there is no stopping place, short of complete disarmament and the adoption advoof the policy of cated by Tolstoi, and others. But for this no nation is yet prepared. Nor can It be, until the government of the entire world is centered in one divine hand. Then, but not till then, can every international question be answered in accordance with the principles of perfect justice and right. Deseret News. ce Nearly Forfeits His Life.

All the rest of the time they are forbidden to speak, to laugh or to correspond with each other, and offenses against the rules are punishable by fines. Each guest is expected to exert himself or herself to the utmost to cause the others to break the rules. The fines are Imposed by the host or the hostess, and range from a night cap to a box of candy. Before the party breaks up the fines are written on small slips of paper, and each guest draws one, blanks being added If there are not enough fines to go round. Those who are lucky enough to draw their own fines escape taxation. The others pay their fines to the persons holding the slips of paper, on which are the names of the articles they have been fined.
