OUR FOE IN A FIT.

We expected one Of the Trbune's
characteristic TRADES. in response to
our exposure Of rs Justification Of Utah

Deseret News as to lynchlng, There
is nothing in its latest eruption 20 re-
ply to. except lis assertion that the
plea Of the News" Is that amy crit
icsm Of the News Is an attack upon
the Mormon people" We made no such
plea" We referred on Thursday
evening to the Tribune's continual
stream OF yituperation against the
Mormon people and especially
against the Deseret News. The un-
truth about DANTE policemen was
an anti" Mormon" attack. So was the
article about Miracles" in the same
issue OF the Tribune. That paper is
anti-"Mormon" perpetually except
when its interest seems to lie temper
arily In the other direction.
The Trlbunes falsehoods as to the
lynching Of the negro who killed Chief
Burt were thoroughly exploded at thu
time and one Of the proofs offered
then by the News that the people
here respected the law and Were not
given 20 deeds OF violence, was that
the vile sanderer OF the living de-
fdmer Of the dead, and defender Of tn,
assassin who slew a splendid publ,
officer, was permitted by the peopl,
whom It untruthfully assailed TO con
tlnue without being abolished as a NUS

We never intimated a desire for an!
species Of violence against anybody
We contended then as we do now. an,
as we have ever contended, in favor o

OFFENSE AND DEFENSE.

An article In the Forum. by Rev. Gil.
bert Reid, on THE Ethics Of Loot is
subjected 20 much adverse criticism by
the secular press. The reverend gem
tleman admits his part in the looting
that followed the invasion Of Chinese
territory, and he excuses IL on the
ground that loot means spells Of war. %

go together. II one is wrong, the other

THE GREAT STEEL STRIKE.

The striks now on Is a yeritable bat
lie OF giants. on one side Is the Anal
gamated Association of Iron ana Steel
Workers. representing labor, and on the
other side the vast combination known
as the steel trust representing capital.
WIN labor come out victorious, from
this bout With the greatest combination
In this country2
The main question seems to be wheth-
er the labor union shall, or shall not,
have exclusive right TO employment In
the mills owned and operated by the
trust. A number Of mills formerly I'M
der the control Of union men were made
non-unlon during the time Of depres-
sion, and the union men are now anx-
ious 10 obtain control again. The officers
OF the steel corporation agreed TO union
lze some Of the mills but
not others, maintaining that to
accede without reservation 10 the
labor organizations demand would
involve forcing into the union
some OF their employees who desire to
stay out. The strike. then, is not a
fight over a matter Of money. but a
contest for principle and test Of
strength,
The officers OF the labor union seem
to be confident OF success. and II is not
impossible that the trust managers win
refrain from prolonging a costly contest
about a principle" particularly II they
realize that in the end they must give
In, or compromise. The Amalgamated
association is said to be a model labor
union having earned that reputation by
the conservatism of It's management,
and by the punctilious fidelity with
which It's members have observed all
the agreements entered into for them
by their officers in negotiations with
employers

THE PRIESTS QUORUM.

An article appeared In these col
umns on Friday, July 18TH In reply to
n correspondent who desired 10 know
something about the presiding au-
thorlties I'm the quorums OF the lesser
Priesthood We thought II was sufii-
GENTLY explicit TO make the matter

that something further II necessary To

Bishop were to organize a quorum OF
Priests In his ward should he SET apart
three members OF that quorum to pre-
side over the quorum or should he not
act as president OF that quorum him
self?"
We stated that quorum composed
OF forty-eight priests should be pre-
sided over by a Bishop, OF course as
sisted by his counselors This is the
form observed in this stake Of Zion
The Bishop OF the ward in which the
quorum Of priests is organized. with
his counselors forms the presidency OF
that quorum. II may be constituted
Of less number than forty-eight For
instance the majority Of that number
would suffice II there were no more or
dalned Priests in the ward. This we
believe IS the general rule throughout
the Church. AT the same time. the
Bishoprlc OF ward has, in addition
general oversight Of the quorums OF
teachers and descons. each Of which
has its own presidency but one Of the
functions OF the Bishopric Is TO have
charge OF the lesser Priesthood.

secy. Roots tour Of inspection OF
western military posts probably means
much more than at first appears. The
country has reached the era Of large
standing army, not very large one
when compared with those Of Europe
but a large one compared with our ira
dltions and practice in the past. A large
standing army means large military
depots. In Europe the largest depots
are situated In the great cities, like
Paris and Berlin. The reason is that
in Europe revolutions start in the great
cities. We are in danger Of no revolu-
lions In this country, 80 there Is no
necessity to put the great military de-
pots near the big cities II Is probable
that Secy. Roots tour has quite as

II Is now conceded on every hand
that the statement made in these col
unms as to the impending destruction
of corn and fruit crops In this section
of the country erred rather on the
side OF conservatism. There is no long

have had a killing effect upon corn

or a divorce secured IN Nevada is valid
in Great Britain. The earl secured a
divorce from his first wife in that
state, after which he married the
present wife. The afense was that
he acted in good faith and according to
the best legal advice obtainabe, but
1t seems he pleaded guilty all the same,
and the verdict could reasonably not
be contrary to his own plea.
The incident recalls the case Of the
Duchess Of Kingston over a hundred
years ago She secretly married a
lieutenant Of the navy, and then, when
he had left her for parts unknown se-
cured q divorce from an ecclesiastical
court. Then she married the Duke OF
Kingston and was brought before the
lords, where she was informed that her
offense was OF such a nature that She
might have been sentenced 10 death as
a consequence, She pleaded not guilty,
but was nevertheless convicted al

duced to the payment OF the costs OF

Splendid as Is the present promise OF
the wheat crop, 1t should be borne In
mind that It has yet TO pass through
several critical stages. II, during the
period when the grain Is in the milk
these northern attitudes Of the spring
wheat belt should be swept with the
hot winds that have recently shrlyeled
up the corn in Kansas and Missouri,
there Is no telling what the result might
be. That Is one OF the danger stages.
Then there is the danger Of a wet har-
vest. In fact the crop viii not be safe

These prudent reflections are suggested

predictions of a bumper crop which

A recent number Of Jemtlandspos-
ten, a paper published in Ostersund,
Sweden, contains a note TO the effect
that somebody connected with the
American consulate IN Jerusalem, Pal
estine, has sold to a Roman Catholic or
ganlzation in that city the American
cemetery, for sum Of 100 900 francs.
II is ntlmated that there is something
crooked in the transaction. since the
corpses are dug up and under the COW
er Of the darkness Of the night, removed
to other places. Our Swedish contem-
porary thinks the matter ought to be
made known in this country in order
that a thorough investigation may be
instituted
