FIGHTING THE MoRMoNs.
An Attempt 60 Secure Expulsion o
the Mormon Apostle Senator.

The Presbyterian General Assembly
at Los Angeles, CAL, made war agains
Mormonism, in the following resolution
adopted in regular session:
"Resolved, That this Assembly mos
respectfully, but earnestly, calls upon the
people of the United States to use theiI
utmost endeavor, employing all honor
able means, to secure the expulsion o
Apostle Reed Smoot from the halls o.
the National Senate, and urges the Sen
ate itself and each member thereof tc
exhaust all legal means to this end, and
in accordance with the provisions of the
Federal Constitution.
The challenge has been accepted by
the Mormons through Brigham Roberts,
and the war Is on says the San Francisco
Call, and adds editorially:
BY demanding the exclusion Of Apostle
Smoot from the Senate the General AS
sembly would seem to be invoking an al
lance with the civil power in its pro-
posed attack upon Mormonism. Now
the civil power can rightly do nothing In
such cases, unless the law is violated.
The fact that man elected to the Senate
is one of the twelve apostles of the Nor
mon church, of the Presbyterian minis
try, or the Methodist, Episcopal, or
Catholic hierarchy, is not an offense
against the law; the civil power can no
more be invoked in the case Of one than
the other.
Our Presbyterian friends should stop
and consider that il one religious body
can call the civil power to its assistance
in the absence of any infraction of the
law, any other religious body has the
same right, and the Government would
soon be afost on the stormy sea OF
troubles that would have no end. Such
alliance with the civil power was the
odium of that religious controversy which
agitated Europe in the past and drench-
ed many countries with blood. We don't
want to begin such policy here, for like
causes would lead to like results.
The history of mankind proves that
persecution never yet arrested the spread
of any form of the religious idea. Those
religious sects which teach the rights of
human reason and of human judgment,
as against the conclusions of external
authority, should be the last to appeal to
force in religious controversy.
1t should be evident to every observer
that force can make no headwsy against
Mormonism. Against equality OF treat
ment, tender human interest. and manly,
womanly social sympathy, the Mormon
hierarchy can make no headway. Under
such conditions Mormons will find their
allegiance to the church unbuckled.
They will see that outside of it there is
all that is promised and provided inside
Of it, and they will lose the impression
that they are peculiar people. Then if
the teachings of the church are against
human nature, if they affront human
reasons andi put the mind In shackles,
men can be trusted to revolt against
them, and the progress of the Mormon
church will cease. But persecute it, give
it martyrs. enlist the civil power against
it, and all the mighty forces of mans
spiritual independence will fight on the
side of the church.

Can't Sell Cider.

MIR. NJ b. llammett. the chief
dlspensary constable of the State,
has written letter to Constable
Howell, at Florence, that "the
sale of cider and malt is Illegal
in South Carolina. When the
next Legislature meets it ought
to amend the diSpcnsary law so
rs TO make it n penal offence for
any one in South Carolina to grow
an apple tree.
We wonder if the S ate Board
of Control has authorized the chief
constable TO prohibit the making
and sale of cider in the State. We
would also like to know what
steps, If any, have been taken by
the authorities to see that the dis i.
penSary law is enforced through.
ou' the State in both spirit and
letter. DO the dispensers require
every purchaser to sign the blanks
required by law! Are minors
and incorporate persons excluded
from the whiskey Joints? Why
should the COnstables insist thnt
people outside Of the dispensary
shall not violate the law when the
officers employed to administer
the law violate 1t at will!
The present idea of the dispen-
slry authorities seems to be. no,
to cultivate the bablt of temper
ancc among the people, but to in
crease the consumption of liquors
through the dispensaries. Those
who boast SO much of the dispen-
SarY as Il great temperance insti-
tuition. and who agonize at the
wickcdness of the blind tigers
when some over bold animal is

professions will be accepted with.

Wildcat Insurance.
Letter Issued by Comptroller
General Jones Quoting Civil
and Criminal Law-Acs
ton Expected.

The comptroller general has
lately received several letters in
regard to certain insurance COM
panicS doing business in this state
without taking out any license as
required by law. So many of
these complaints were received
that this morning Comptroller
General Jones issued letter

The law, section COZ, criminal
code. expressly states that any
one soliciting insurance business
without the company first secur
ing n license, may be arrested
and brought before magistrate
and fined 800 for each time a
policy has been solicited. This
applies to individuals, and section
l79S of the civil code states that
the company itself may be fined
sum not exceeding 81, 900 nol
less than $500 to be retained b,
the party sung, provided he hold.
Il policy in the company.
1t IS likely that summary pro
ceedings will be instituted by citi
zens who have been swindled late,
ly by wildcat companies.

KNIGHTS or LABOR FACTIONS
FIGHT BATTLE IN COURTS

The trouble between the warning fac
lions of the Order OF the Knights of
Labor will have another airing tomOr-
row in the local courts before Justice
Anderson. The settlement Of the differ
ences between the two factions is on
the petition OF what is known as the
Burns followers, and, as has been the
case ever since the Knights OF Labor
have been in court. John ". Hayes,
now general master workman and for
many years secretary treasurer of the
order, and his friends are named as de-
Zen 1ants.
Some tine ago the Burns faction filed
a petitioa in the District Supreme
Court asking that not only the Hayes
adherents. but also itself, should be re-
strained from meeting in general assem-
bly, untG the differences between the
opposing factions should be settled by
decree Of the court. After hearing ar
fyument on the question OF the con-
stitutionality OF the organization Of the
two factions, Justice Anderson granted
the petition Of the Burns people. II
was then decided that oral testimony
should be heard in support of the con-
tentions of the opposing factions This
phase of the litigation viii be entered
upon tomorrow
