IN A BAD WAY.

Our Republican neishbor is shaken
with conniption fits because The Her
aid has published, without comment
some articles on the Crisis in Utah
from eastern and western papers. II
our neighbor would follow that ex
ample its editorial page would become
far more interesting and reliable.
The Herald has clipped those articles
that the public may know how the
situation is viewed by public journals
outside of Utah The Herald has not
endorsed or denied what those papers
have said. There is no need to dc
either. Readers Of The Herald have
sense enough to know that the utter
ances of those journals are simply
their opinions not ours. If our neigh
Dor has not that sense, it is in a
worse condition than we had supposed
and we had reached the conclusion thai
it was as near to mental wreck as
is possible without going ito pieces.
Does the Tribune never clip articles
from other journals without comment
pro or con? Is it right for our neigh
Dor to do that and wrong for The
Herald? ''The infamy of lit ALL" to
use the Tribune's expression, is that
our neighbor is trying to defame The
Herald for doing what every live
paper in the country does occasionally
that is give its readers an oppor.
tunity Of learning what other papers
have to say on an important question
giving due credit for the articles and
placing them in other type than its
own editorials appear in, so that they
may be clearly understood to be the
opinions of those papers and not of
the paper that copies them.
Our neighbor is hard up for material
with which to abuse The Herald, but
never mind, Tribby when your mud
gives out, make faces!

THE TRIBUNE AND MORMON WOMEN

The Herald refers to the squib in
this newspaper last winter, in which
the statement was made that women
were easily swayed for church uses"
So says the Tribune The words
quoted by our contemporary" women
were easily swayed for church uses
were not used by The Herald Those
quoted were, referring to Mr.. o. f.
Whitney, but it is the fear that he
meant to show how easily the women
vote is swayed for church uses, that
caused some of the delegates to vince;
and they were not all Gentiles, either"
That was not "squib," but is an ex-
cerpt from the Tribune's leading edi-
torial of Sunday, March 81, 1895, en-
titled, The Debate of the Day" And
it is nearly three-fourths of a column
in length.
That had no more reference to the
women in the Mormon church than in
any other church, not the slightest.
This is the Immediate comment on
what it calls its "squib." If language
is to be taken as it is written and
words are to have their generally ac-
cepted meaning, the Tribune's Ian
guage referred to the women of the
Mormon church, and to none other
Did Mr. Whitney have in mind any
other women than those of his church
when he referred to their support of
Mr.. Roberts? And the Tribune was
speaking directly of Mr. Whitney's re-
marks, mentioning him by name. It's
words We're:
He TMr. Whitney, spoke for suffrage,
and was very unfortunate in his per-
sonal allusion. where he spoke of the
elevation of Mr.. Roberts to ecclesias-
teal position in the Mormon church by
women votes.
1t was this reference to the Mormon
women's votes by Mr.. Whitney that
brought out the Tribune's remark
about chow easily the women's vote is
swayed for church uses"
For the Tribune to say it was a
"squib,' and that it had no more ref
erence TO the women in the Mormon
church than in any other church. not
in the slightest" is for it to utter a
bald untruth.
1t had reference to how easily the vote
of the Mormon women could be sway
ed by the Mormon church, and to moth
ing else.
For ten days or more the Tribune
has been so anxlously and theoretically
engaged in explaining away spoken
words, and has become so hypnotized
with it's own juggling of them, that it,

every one knew his politics, and from

NO DANGER OF PoLYGAMy.

The Tribune is very wroth at an
article that appeared a few days ago
in the Chicago Chronicle on the situa-
ton in Utah and which was copied by
The Herald. This article surmised
that doubtless there is an agreement
that polygamy shall be restored, if the
state shall be admitted into the Union.

Democratic papers are not the only
ones that take this view, as a reference

paper, says on the same subject, and
which we print this morning. will show
this also. The Recorder says, in part,
that 'polygamy is not mentioned. OF
course not. The Mormon leaders are
not fools. They will leave that till
statehood is complete" There is very
little difference between the Demo-
cratic Chronicle and the Republican
Recorder, is there?
We believe we voice the sentiment Of
the Democratic party of Utah when we
say that there is no danger whatever
of the establishment of polygamy
in Utah, when she becomes a state,
whether the Democratic party or the
Republican party is in the ascendency,
or the Mormon church is in the ascen-
dency.
But the Democratic party in Utah
does not propose to allow a false issue
TO be raised to supplant the true issue
of the day-church interference in poll
ties. That is the issue and it will be
adhered to.

PITY THE POOR TRIB.

If the editorial page of the Tribune
has any friends or admirers left they
must have been terribly chagrined af
ter wading through it on Sunday. Such
a rhodomontade spread over four col
umns of close print is seldom seen in
a paper having any pretensions to san
ity. Every question touched upon is
muddled and mixed, in such a way as
to convey the impression that the
writer was half seas over or non COM
pos mentis. Through it all, rage and
venom are prominent and the term
mad" used a number of times, indi-
Gates the state Of mind of the scribe
and diarrhoea is the only word that
will designate the disease of words,
words, words, the symptoms of which
are so visibly manifest. The most
pointed argument used in the Soutburst
are those hurled, as follows, att a quo
tation from its own columns: THAT
is the statement of a Ioafer and the
conclusion of blackguard." Readers
will recognize the elegant style and
convincing logic of the Tribune editor
and form their own conclusions. We
pity the poor creature more than words
can express, and feel sorrow in adj
vance for his condition after the great
convention of Tuesday shall have con-
cluded. 1t will have such an effect
that unless the muzzle is applied, once
more, by the manag ement, the morning
church organ will be unfit to take into
any decent domicile. Pity the poor
Tribune!

A QUESTION OF TAXATION.

1t is estimated by the Superintendent
of Schools in this city that a building
containing $4,000 square feet of floor
area will accommodate one thousand
pupils. That would be more than
double the floor space now occupied
for the city High School. The Clay
ton building Of three floors has g
floor area of 1892 feet. The Rich
ards buildings have floor area Of
S,S16 feet. Total, BLISS feet.
The cost of the present buildings in
rent is $4,000 year and the repairs
and fixtures last year cost S771.55, or a
total for that year of $5,171.55. Guaged
by the cost of building the Grant
School, building with three times
the space now occupied by the High
School could be erected for
$1O2. 621. AS, or at the rate of s1.57
per square foot. But considering
the present reduced rate of material
and labor, building that would be
ample for a High School for at least
ten years could be erected on the site
of phe Twelfth ward school, owned by
the city school district, for 100000.
The question is, shall the matter be
presented to the taxpayers of this
city that they may vote ON a tax to
raise that amount? This is an i'm
portant question The Board of Edu-
cation would like an expression of
opinion from the public as to the wis
dom of submitting such a tax to the
popular vote.

Mormons and Politics.

1t is to be remembered that the admis-
sion of Utah TO statehood was based up
on the avowal that the Mormon church
had reformed and would no longer seek
TO impose d hierarchical control in the
politics of the state. Some people may
have suspected that there was too much
suddenness in this conversion, but the
prevailing view was that the desire of his
Satanic majesty to become monk was
to be relied on until the bill went through.
The first campaign or a state election
in Utah has already developed an Incl
dent that gives a rude shock to that con-
Viction. Two MOrmOns, high in positio?
in the church, have accepted nomina-
tons for office without taking counsel with
the head OF the church. For doing this
they have been publicly reprimanded, and
the practica. declaration was made that
the political action of the Mormons must
be subject to the dictation of the head
of the church, and that for any Mormon
to take political action without church
authority viii be an offense against the
church.
This manifestation of the intention of
the Mormon leaders to keep up their
hierarchiai control has aroused such feel
ing among the Gentiles that they are con-
sidering the advisability of trying to de-
feat ratification and retain the territorial
form OF government. 1t certainly indi-

a corrupt deal between Republican man

Mormon church, and that the bargain,
which began to be discovered by the re-
suits of the election in 1894, would be
adhered to in 1895 in the election by
which the territory is to accept a con-

CANDIDATES AND CHURCH INFLU-
ENCE.

1t is utterly ridiculous to suppose
that Moses Thatcher was named as
Senator for any purpose on earth
except that the influence of his name,
not as Moses Thatcher. but as an
Apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints, would carry to
the Democratic ticket hundreds of vot-
ers in this territory.
So says the Tribune of Friday.
The statement is absurd and not true,
and we shall not discuss it from that
point of view.
1t recalls a conversation we had with
a gentleman yesterday on the politi-
cal situation in Utah. The gentleman
is a man of affairs and a Republican
and took much the same view as the
Tribune has been advocating. The
distinction between any influence a
man might bring to q ticket because
of his prominence as a churchman
and the using of distinctly church in
fluence was talked of. 1t was easier to
illustrate to this gentleman the pecu-
liar causes which had led up to the
present crisis than to many by sup
posing a case within his own church,
that of Rome. The case put to him
was solely for the purpose of illus
tration and nothing else. II was this:
Surprising the priests of his church
were permitted to run on political
tickets, and to further their interests
they were not endeavoring to use the
influence that belonged to their posi-
ton. 1t was conceded that they would
draw votes. Then this case was put

Cannon, with a greed for wealth and po-
Atical power that was checked by the
operation of the Edmunds anti-polygamy
law. and yearning for a boom in
Utah, evidently came to the conclusion
that his plans and the schemes of the
Mormon church would be better adj
vanced by a political alliance with the
Republicans than by permitting the peo-
pie TO adhere, as they had done for
years. to the Democratic party. And

perhaps, for the betrayal of the terri
tory and the party that had offered 1t
the opportunity to become a state:
A week ago, at a secret meeting of the
dent Joseph f. Smith and George Q.
Cannon harangued the attending preach
ers IN such fashion as to indicate that

larly Moses Thatcher and B. Il. Rob
erts had accepted nominations on the
democratic ticket. part of the Nor
mon community is incensed at the dis
covery that the influence of The Mormon
church IS to be thrown in behalf of the
Republican candidates, evidently to carry
out the plan to make George Q. Cannon
one OF the two United States senators TO
take their places afte-. gle formal adj

1t may be too late to prevent the con,

sale. If it shall be carried out, how

only so recently as February, 1895, at a

Church and state.

The Democratic party in Utah is in line
with the principles and the traditions Of
the Mormon hierarchy to influence polit-
zeal action in that territory. The Democ-
racy of Utah will be JUSTIFIED in going TO
any length in carrying out its purpose OF
preventing such interference and of COM
pelling the absolute divorce OF church and
state.
1t is unfortunate, in one sense, that
this conflict should arise at this time. Ii
the Mormon leaders persist in their at
tempt to dictate political action, the re-
suit may be failure TO adopt the con-
stitution and a postponement of the en-
trance of Utah into the family of states.
But, on the other hand it is fortunate
that the question comes up for settlement
thus early. 1t would be far more awk-
ward to meet it after Utah had become a
sovereign state. This is favorable time
for the contest between church and state
TO be fought out to a finish; and the Utah
Democracy is wise in forcing the issue
