An ola Negro and His Find.

William Morris, an aged negro of New Market, Ala, found 5000 in cave recently. He could not count it, so he sent it by his brother to Gadsdeu and exchanged it for gold.

The other morning Morris showed the money to Nat Powers, a prominent young man of New Market, and told him about that in the cave- That night Powers and two negroes, 1t is said, went to Morris cabin and called him out to drink some whisky. They then presented pistols and told him if he did not show them the money he would be killed. It is al- legged that they shot him and the old man refused to tell where his gold was hidden.

GONE OF POWERS TRICKS"

While in San Francisco Mr.. P. H.
Lannan was interviewed by the
Chronicle as to the present crisis in
Utah. He said:
1t is one of Powers tricks. He de-
sires to cast an anchor to the wind
ward in the event of the defeat of the
Democratic party, which is now re-
garded as inevitable.
One of Powers tricks, But how was
Judge Powers able, as chairman of the
Democratic State committee, to have
that priesthood meeting called when it
was and have President Smith address
it as he did? If it was his trick
then those who called the meeting and
those who said those things they ought
not to have said and left unsaid those
things they ought to have said. must
have been in league with the Judge
and thereby have become particeps
criminis The trick" if trick" it is,
had its inception in the calling of that
meeting. for it is what has occurred
there that has thrown Utah into a
fever Of excitement. No one will
think for a moment that Judge Powers
could have had anything to do with
the calling of that meeting or what
was said at it, How. then, can all
that has resulted from it be one of his
''tricks?" Was it one of his tricks"
to make men who were there indignant
when they came out, men who never
talked with him at any time about
what was said and the general conclu-
sion that all came to?
We have great respect for Judge
Powers political sagacity and qualif-
cations for party leadership, but we
have never for single moment cred
tied him with such supernatural en-
dowments as the bringing forth of this

A CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.

/ AS one speaking authoritatively on
church matters. the Tribune should be
somewhat more careful, for yes. erday
it said:
There was a priesthood meeting in
which one member Of the First Pres;-
dency said that two prominent church.
men had, without obeying the rules Of
the church, gone INTO active politics
and that was confirmed by another
member of the same presidency; and
that is the whole extent of it,
Now President Smith. speaking of
this same meeting, in our contempor
airy, said:
when L was speaking I did not at
any time refer to politics, nor did |
have the question of the acceptance OF
political Office W men high in the
priesthood in my mind etc.
President Woodruff says:
Now, concerning that meeting re-
ferred to, there was not, according to
my recollection, one word said about
Democrats, Republicans or politics.
And yet the Tribune says, with these
very declarations before it, that y
member of The First Presidency said
that two prominent churchmen had
without obeying the rules of the
church, gone into active politics, and
that was confirmed by another member
of the same presidency
Just like the apostles presidents of
stakes, bishops and elders who were at
that meeting, the Tribune seems to be
utterly Incapable of understanding that
what was said had no reference to pol
itics. Why does it attribute to those
priesthood meeting remarks a reference
to politics? What strange, hypnotic
influence those remarks possess.

THE DUTY OF A PATRIOT.

Republicans and Republican newspa-
pers are doing themselves no honor by
dismissing the existing Democratic
grievance as political scheme. Ger
tainly every patriotic citizen and we'll
wisher of Utah is DESTROYS of eliminat-
ing from our politics the disturbing
factor of church influence. Certainly
no citizen is half so much concerned in
the success of his party as in the eman
cipation of the people of Utah from
those un-A1nerican Influences which
threaten the social, commercial and po-
litical prosperity Of the state.
Such being the case, what can be said
of the attitude of those gentlemen
whose partisanship renders them blind
to the gravity of the situation, who de-
nounce Democratic measures as politi-
cal clap-trap who say that it is sufi-
cient explanation of Democratic energy
to state that Judge Powers is at the
throttle, who state that it is but a great
dust cloud raised by a defeated party
TO cover an inglorious retreat?
The fact is that Mr.. Joseph. F. Smith S
remarks, whatever may have been the
spirit in which they were conceived or
the soundness of their doctrine, had the
immediate effect of disheartening the
Democrats. elating the Republicans,
and of being used more or less boldly
from one end Of the territory to the
other to further the Republican cause.
The fact further is that the Demo-
Gratis certainly expected to win the
state election prior to the incident and
stood appalled, and hopeless thereafter.
Such were the effects. If such effects,
under all the circumstances, were the
legitimate results OF the remarks, then
is it not fair criticism that the re-
marks We're untimely and ill-judged?
And is it not equally obvious that what
is termed church influence" has been
interjected into this campaign to the
injury Of one of the parties to the con-
test?
If such effects have been wrought, is
1t not then the plain duty of every good
citizen rather to lend his assistance
to put quietus on such influences
than encourage a repetition by pallia
ton? Good citizens will denounce i'm
proper influences not only when injured
but likewise when benefited by them.
