THREE QUESTIONS ANSWERED..

A friend In one Of the southern settle
ments OF Utah writes to the News"
asking three questions, The first is In
relation to little book that has been
published, explaining the mode OF pro-
cedure in Bishops courts. and It is
asked whether the book is endorsed by
the Church or by the First Presidency.
II has been repeatedly published that
the written standards Of the Church are
the Bible, the Book Of Mormon, the
Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl
OF Great Price. Other works stand as
the writings Of their respective authors
and on their individual merits. This
ought 10 be sufficient on that head.
The manner Of conducting Bishops
courts and High Councils is understood
by the presiding officers in the wards
and Stakes Of Zion, and there Is no
need to go outside Of them for explana-
lions. The revelations contained In the
Doctrine and Covenants are sufficiently
plain as written guide, and whatever
is published In strict conformity with
them is, OF course, authoritative and
beneficial.
The second question is as TO disfellow-
Shipping, or accommodating, a Church
member without a trial That is not IN
harmony with the revealed order of the
Church, Every accused person Is en-
titled to fair hearing, TO be confronted
with witnesses against him, 10 Introduce
his own witnesses and to speak In his
own defense. Witnesses in Church
h ials must be Church members. Cases
must be determined upon evidence
Judgment must be rendered in right
sousness. without prejudice and free
from personal motives and consldera-
lions. when charges arc preferred and
me accused is summoned to appear and
ne refuses to respond, Justice VIII not
Do baked because OF his non-appear-
lnce. II Is only in such instances that
member can be disfellowshped or ex-
| communicated in his absence. A trial

ne third question Is; Should the

apparltion OF crime. In this view. II alta
yism.
DIR. Nordau takes Issue with this
view. lie denies that man origin
ally was criminal, On the contrary
crime is a phenomenon OF civilization
and Is only encountered In organized So
cetles. Dr, Nordau's argument Is quite
interesting
In proportion as civilization adj
vances man separates himself from his
primitive condition his relations with
nature and other men become COMPILE
Gated, and he can no longer demand
under all circumstances that nature
provide his subsistence, as nature Is
found to be condscated by occupants
who monopolize her for their own pro.
nj. Thus those possessing no land ana
water can only procure the necessities
at second hand from the holders OF the
land and OF the natural resources. In
this phase of civilization commences

teachers appoint one Of their number
TO preside as stated In Doc and Gov.
Sec. tO7 V. g., or should the Bishop al
ways preside at the teachers meet
ings?" We think our correspondent has
become somewhat mixed" In this mat
ter. There are in every ward a num-
Der Of brethren selected to be acting
teachers, under the direction OF the
BlshoprIc. These are usually men hold
ing the Melchisedec Priesthood but
called to act In the lesser or Aaronlc
Priesthood for visiting and teaching
purposes, They are appointed as aids
to the Bishop, and he or one OF his
counselors presides at their meetings.
The teaohers' quorum referred 20 In
the section quoted from the Doctrine
end Covenants IL another body entire
ly, . 1t consists Of twenty -four ordained
teachers presided over by three Of their
own number They DO not hold the
higher or Melchisedek Priesthood. They
act In the capacity OF teachers In the
ward to which they belong when called
20 do so under the direction OF the
Bkhopric. Their meetings are held for
instruction In the general duties Of
their office and in the principles OF the
Priesthood The Bishop may and
should attend their meetings when pos
s'ble, as he Is in charge Of the lesser
Priesthood Of his ward, including the
Priests, the Teachers and the Deacons.
But the two bodies Of teachers should
rot be COMPOUNDED. The acting teach
crs selected by the blshoprlc as their
aids do not form quorum at all. They
have no fixed number. or distinct ordl-
nation as teachers They are sometimes
enormously mentioned az the teachers
quorum but that ought not to De
The teachers quorum Is, as we have
described It. and Is a distinct body OF
ordained teachers with lts own presl-
dency like any other quorum In the
Church,
All these matters are very clear 10
careful readers OF the revelations to the
Church II there is any misunder-
standing concerning them, all doubts
may be usually dlspeled, by seeking
instruction from the local authorities IN
the organized wards and stakes OF
ZION.

NEVER MIND THE GRowLER,

We notice that our morning con-
temporary is determined TO mix up with
these considerations undeserved slurs
upon the present board and also per-
versions and distortions Of the language
and sentiments of the Deseret News.
This is an old and we had hoped dis
carded method Of our contemporaries,
In dealing with an opponent. Our read
ers know very well that in defending
the present board against needless and
unfair attacks upon their excellent
work, we said nothing against future
improvements. The intimations there
fore, that We are content with the
lowered standards" that "all Is well
and needs no improvement" are un-
warranted, and while after the ancient
style of the Tribune are outside of de-
cent controversy.
The Deseret News Is In favor OF the
best men that can be found wiling 10
work for the public without reward In
face OF the insults they may receive
from local newspaper after faithfui-
" performing their duty The Tribune's
wonderful reasoning, that the recogni-
ton of faithful services Of the present
board must logically imply that the old
members ought to be reelected, Is IN
line with its well known faulty ratro-
cination. and reveals the animus that
ranks behind II.
II will do no harm to keep the ques-
tlon Of the coming school election before
thu minds Of the voters In Salt Lake
City. II is a very important matter 1t
concerns every citizen, The welfare OF
our city schools, of which we are rea-
sonably proud, depends largely upon the
character and ability Of the members Of
the Board OF Education. Care. there
fore should be taken in their selection.
The vacancies to be filled at the Deem
Der school election should be occupied
by III men, who will serve the public out
OF pure desire to promote the cause OF
educntion, and not only keep up the
present high standard Of the public
schools, but advance It as occasion re-
Quires and opportunities open.
The News" has had no special cam
didates in mind, either for reelection
or new election, and Is only anxious
that the most suitable men shall be
chosen. and that no one shall be DEEM
ed Objectionable on account of his pol
itics or his religion. At the same time.
we deprecate attacks upon efficient and
devoted members of the board and the
unsupported assertions that under
them the schools have deteriorated. the
standards have been lowered, and that
the financial management has been
haphazard and poor.
Such illnatured and dyspeptic eructa-
tons are il-advised, and detrimental TO
the reputation OF our city schools and
ought to be resented by all people who
understand the facts and discern the
intent behind those covert charges and
mean insinuations,
Let us choose the right men for the
i've places to be filled on the school
board, II we can secure them and pay
no attention to the growlIngs Of the
disgruntled.

The tyranny Of labor unions IL hav-
ing very pointed illustration In New
York just now. The workmen ON Mr.,
@. w. Vanderbilts house have been Or
dered out. The strike, It appears, was
ordered by the Building Trades coun-
ell on behalf of the Amalgamated
PalntersT society. although no painters
will be employed in the building for
two months The plasterers have Just
begun their work. and painting will be
started only after the plasterers have
finished. The action was taken by the
union in an effort to force the contrac-
tors for the decorations to discharge
their workmen who are members of the
Brotherhood OF Painters and to employ
those affiliated with the Amalgamated
society. Members of the Brotherhood
of Painters are not "scabs' but belong
to duly organized union. The sole
trouble seems to be that the Anal
gamated society wants TO dictate TO
the painters.

Lesson 10

The Jewell County CKansas) Repub-
lican tells a little story in illustration
of the circumspection with which coun-
try bankers must handle their custom
ers. A Kansas banker lost patience
with the "dribble-drabble' business of
a man who caused the bank a lot OF
trouble in bookkeeping. and the cash
Ter told the man that his ccount was
desirable. In a little while the
mar died, leaving a large sum in I.fe
insurance. which was deposited By the
wife in a rival bank. And a little later
still she married the best customer the
first bank had, and induced him tn re-
move his deposit.
And the lesson is that all banks
should treat us kindly, for there is no
telling how soon we may leave a lot
of vengeful widows to deposit the l-fe
insurance elsewhere and marry aray
the banks best customers.

The vibrations Of the strings are

With reference to weight. the com

Is more nearly comparable to that o.
rice than to any other domestic food
crop. Excluding the important pro-
ducing state Of New York, for which
no recent statistics are available, the
production Of beans in the principal
producing states in 1856. the record
year for that crop, was about 800. 900,
900 pounds.
