A RIGHT AND A WRONG WAY,

We publish today letter from n re-
liable resident Of Brigham city, In ref
erence to some scurrious communica'
lions from that place which have ap-
peared In our morning contemporaries,
We paid no attention 10 them at the
time except TO read them, believing
that the public, with the exception Of
few uniformed persons, would read
fly perceive their falslty and absurdty.
But since the matter Is now brought
forward we VIII make few comments:
That there has been some trouble
with few individuals In Brigham City
over a matter OF small moment except
TO them will not very probably be dis
puted. But to connect that with the
Mormon Church Is going as far out
OF the way as other devious and err
ratio movements Of anti-"Mormon"
publications. The difficulty is OF the
dsgrunted persons own fabrication.
II is not Church matter, except that
some Of them are members of the
Church and have sought and rejected
the advice Of the local authorities there
The people Of the four wards Of that
city purchased and now own the Opera
House, which Is used az a place Of
amusement for dances, etc, The mu.
siclans had a dispute with the man
ayers about pay for their services ask
Ing amounts which were considered too
high. and they left the service and
built a pavilion OF their own, which
they expected would be quite remuner-
alive At first many OF the young peo-
pie attended, but the influence Of older
people was Of course In favor OF their
own building, and gradually the 'op.
position" place has receded from pat
ronage, Hence those attacks upon the
presiding authorities In Box Elder
county.
All the stories about debating men
In reference 20 politics, the conduct OF
their own business, ETC., are the sheer
est fiction. Such proceedings as have
been narrated would not be permitted
by the authorities Of the Church, and
officials who would take such a
course as that charged by an anony-
nous writer, would very soon be moved
out Of their places, The purpose and
anmus Of the concoeter OF those stories
are evident upon their face, There IL
a proper way to bring charges against
members OF the Church and proper trl.
bunala to hear and Judge them, no
matter what position the accused may
hold IN the Church.

The real object in making this hasty
attack was to cripple some Of the bi
Russian ships without endangering any
of the Japanese vessels or equa
strength. This was the course pursued
IN the war with China. The undertaking
seems TO have been brilliantly carried
out. IL Il proves true that two OF Rus
sias most powerful battleships and one
OF its best cruisers have been 70 badly
injured as to be out OF service FOR
long time, a great victory already mas
been achieved by the little enemy.
The loss TO Russia and the correspond
ing gain to Japan by this daring couf
are very great In view Of the possibility
of final trial OF sea power. Russia,
fleet was scarcely match for Japan''
navy to begin with, and the disabling
OF the Cars big vessels vastly increase
the difference In favor Of Japan

THE WAR IN ASIA.
Kansas City Star.


The initial successes OF the Mikado's
fleet, encouraging as they are TO Japan,
are simply necessary preliminary TO
the real war which Is 10 come. They
do not affect Russa's main offensive
weapon--its army. Russia could afford
10 lose sea fight. while Japan could
not. No predictions as to the final out
come can be based on these early naval
engagements. 1t Is not forgotten that
for many months the Beers were over
whelpingly successful against England.
Furthermore. the heavy fighting must
be done on land. Can the japanese,
without cavalry sustain the shock OF
the Cossacks? Can Russia maintain an
effective army 5000 miles from the base
Of supplies? VIII the Car be able TO
mass an overwhelming force In Korea?
Can both countries find the money
necessary for a protrocted struggle?
Only time can show.

Ward. It is necessary that there should
be harmony between Its officers.
Changes have TO be made. as circum-
gtances require, IN the personnel Of the
different organizations. But they do
not affect the standing Of the indi-
vlduals nor the Priesthood they hold.
II an Elder Is appointed to take charge
OF some auxiliary organization, that Is
a temporary position, and when he is
released or resigns, he Is still an Elder,
with an the authority. that his Office in
the Priesthood embraces and implies.
SO In regard to any position OF presi-
dency; 1t is not necessarily a permanent
appointment but the Priesthood abldes
and continues. no matter whether its
possessor presides for a period or not,
and Il Is not affected by his contlnu-
ance or his removal as a presiding Of
fcer.
The Deseret News does not support
or condone arbitrary or oppressive con-
duct In anybody, ia Church or In state.
Nor does II take stock IN the stories In
vented by dsgruntled persons. the fall
ure Of whose personal schemes I'll them

alleged cause OF their msfortunes,
When good men are assailed In print,
by persons who are ashamed or afraid

those attacks in deserved contempt II
anything wrong Is done by a Church
official. there is remedy in every
case, and the wrong can be rectifled and
the wrong -doer can be rebuked or re-
moved. There Is neither need nor ex.

The japanese have already taught the
world one naval lesson and here Is an

tack with torpedo boats will tend TO dis.

why. Simply because 1t was n
political scheme concocted In Mid
dletown by and between some Of
it's democratic politicians, and
sprung upon the honest and un-
suspecting democrats the day be-
fore election for the sole purpose
OF securing their sympathy aud
votes for Hunt. That Is the why,
and truth of the matter. They
knew ten days before as we'll as
one day before this election that
Hunt had violated his oath and
contract as a rural mail carrier and
was subject to dismissal, and nom
inee Hunt and contemporary Chips
cannot get away from these facts
no matter how much they may
wigglc and squirm, and try to play
the bluh game. II they have any
further facts let them trot them out.
The assertion by the Chips that
there Is now in this city, under the
nose of the editor hereof, a sim
liar case to that OF Hunts, and by
n mail carrier, Is vile slandcr
upon honor and every old union
soldier. One of the carriers out Of
this city, an old and hard working
ex-soldier, was taken sick some
tim" Ego because Of bad roads and
weather, and when we'll under way
Of recovery, to add to his misfor-
tunes, was kicked by a horse, and
has since been In serious condi-
ton. hut he is an honest and in
dustrious man, has a family to
support, Is not candidate for Of
flee, Is not violating his oath as q
mail carrier, and not trying to de-
ceive any one. But more than all
he was one Of his country's defend-
ers, and has carried with him ever
s.nIc u running sore from gun
shot wound In his hip. What bot
ter mark OF noble manhood could
any man have than this. Is there
any just comparison between these
two men =? Shame on any man who
would thus insult crippled old
soldier. II the good Lord spares
this now feeble old hero's life long
enough, II Is to be hoped that ouI
esteemed contemporary will yet
answer to the raspings OF his con-
science and apologize to him fol
the very uncalled for and unkind
insinuations here referred to.
The TRIBUNE Is not losing any
sleep over this matter of nominee
Hunts. The article was first pub
lished In its columns as political
news item, with the additio onal
notice to the effect that the rcpub b.
licans of Montgomery county pur-
pose to not sit quietly by and have
their front yard made democrati,
barn yard Of by dishonest candi-
dates for Office. And as nominee
Hunt was first to attempt the fou'

The Hunt--Chips Contro versy.

The Middletown Chips last week
came promptly to the defense Of
its old political and peruonal friend
and neighbor, J. T. Hunt of that
place, regarding his unfair treat
mcnt of the other candidates for
sheriff at their recent primary
election. Mr.. Hunt was ashamed
to come out over his own signature
and try to explain away the
charges, so no gets the news
papers to do 1t for him. Too
many newspapers In this world,
We are sorry TO say, for various
reasons are induced to come to the
defense Of such men and schemes.
II would be rendering unto C@sar
tho things which are CGsar's II
honorable mention could be made
OF the Obscure country editors who
have used their ink and brains to
build up towns and men. At the
same time permit us to remark,
that the press OF this and every
other state In this broad land, are
responsible for boosting into oflice
more good-for-nothings and play
ed out Office seekers than their
conductors think. The Chips tells
q nice story, and apparently would
throw all the shame and dcgrcda-
tion of the Hunt affair upon the
shoulders OF congressman Champ
Clark, but we are inclined to think
that very few people who know
Mr.. Clark are ready to believe
that he Is running around the
streets OF the national capital try
ing to save a man from dismissal
from an inconsequential govern
ment position, who had been and
was then violating his sworn duty
as an officer, and at the same time
was using his position to help
defeat his brother party candi-
dates. The letter to Hunt inform
Ing him OF his dismissal was writ
ten one week after the democratic
, primary, besides 1t took two days
I TO como here by mail-nine days
I In all. Quite mind reader he is.
\ Perhaps II is a mild case Of "a
guilty con science needs no ac-
cuser." The civil service does
y figure In such matters, but in some
cases may refer portions TO the
I Fourth Assistant p. M general
To show that there has been no
politics in this matter at Washing
ton, the department has appointed

his stead until a new man Is cho-
