Politics and Polygamy and the Mormon Church.

The inquiry instituted by the United States
Senate as a result of the fight on Reed Smoot,
has disclosed a state of affairs in Utah that must
be viewed with alarm by all believers in the old
fashioned American doctrine of the separation OF
church and State. The evidence goes to show
that the leaders of the Mormon Church are the
ruling powers in politics and that the Mormon
who dares oppose their will, or declare himself a
candidate for Office in opposition to their wishes,
does so at his own peril. One Moses Thatcher who
aspired to the United States Senate two or three
years ago against the wishes of the Quorum of
the apostles was prosecuted and logged until he
gave up his candidacy and threw himself on the
mercy of his fellows in the church trial that fol
lowed.
It also develops that the heads of the Mormon
Church are still polygamists, living in open viola
ton of the law, and it is easy to believe that many
of the leading spirits hone to see the repeal of
the law against plural marriage.
AS Smoot himself is not a polygamist, we do
not know what will be done with his case. Until
she had brought forth fruits meet for repentance,
Utah should never have been admitted to the
Union.

GO The Yellow Peril" in Politics.

The candidacy of William r.. Hearst for the
Democratic Presidential nomination is now no
longer regarded as a prepOsterous joke: men are
beginning to see that it must be taken seriously.
"The young man with the cheek and the check
book" is making Roadway. Last week he captured
the Rhode Island delegation to the St. Louis Con-
~vention, and he is hoping that similar tactics will
bring about similar results in other States. But
for the millions that he inherited from his father,
old Senator Hearst of California, it is not likely
that young William r. would have ever attracted
the attention of the country. Yet he is posing
now as the special representative of the laboring
classes. Beyond his ability to choose men and
policies to make his newspapers successful, Mr..
Hearst has never given any evidence of unusual
intellectual qualifications, while his private char
acter is said to be anything but irreproachable.
Commenting on his latest success, the New York
Evening Post says: "1t is not simply that we re-
volt at Hearst's huge vulgarity; at his front of
bronze; at his shrieking unftness mentally, for
the Office which he sets out to buy. All this
goes without saying. There never has been a case
of a man of such slender intellectual equipment,
absolutely without experience in office, impudent-
ly Haunting his wealth before the eyes of the
people and saying, Make me PRESIDENT This
is folly. This is to degrade public life. But there
is something darker and more fearful behind. It
is we'll known that this man has a record which
would make it impossible for him to live through
a Presidential campaign-such cutters would be
dragged, such sewers laid open! We can only
refer to the loathsome subject. Let those who
want a hint of the r~epulsive details turn to the
Congressional Record of January 8, 1897. There
they will find a speech by Representative Johnson,

DEATH OF COL. w. A. TURK.
Summons Came Unexpectedly at Ills
Home in Washington City Saturday
Evening at $40 O'clock.
Thomas J. Pence in Raleigh Post.

Thomas J. Pence in Raleigh Post.
Washington, April 9.-William
Armstrong Turk, passenger traffic
manager of the Southern Railway,
died of pnemonia at his home in this
city this afternoon at GAO, after an
illness OF only three days.
The death of Colonel Turk, as he
was familiarly known by his friends
from one end of the country to the
other, was a great shock to his ac-
quaintances here in Washington,
who were unaware of the fact that
he was seriously i'll. The news OF his
sudden end quickly spread, and in
public places tonight it was discussed
with evidence of sincere regret
Officials of the Southern who have
daily gone to the Mendoza, where
Colonel Turk lived, to inquire as to
his condition did not realize that he
was so near Deaths door. The
friends OF the great big warm hearted
man hardly realize it now.
Though Colonel Turk was native
of Virginia, Raleigh was home to
him. There he spent the happy days
of his young manhood and there he
contemplated passing his final days.
The cold hand OF death charged his
plans. Tomorrow the remains will
start for Raleigh, and will reach the
city at 1870 Monday morning.
Officials of the Southern and several
friends will accompany members OF
the family.
Colonel Turk was in the 53rd year
of his age, was one of the best known
and most successful railroad men In
the country. He grew up with the
Southern and had reached the top
of the ladder in the railway passenger
business. The deceased was a young
man clerking in the Yarborough,
when he attracted the attention OF
Col. A. B. Andrews, now the first
vice president OF the system. Col
onel Andrews was greatly impressed
with young Mr.. Turk and put him
in the passenger department. How
he hewed his own way and built a
reputation as the best passenger
man in the south is matter Of cur
rent history-known to railroad
people everywhere in the land. Col
onel Turk was big of brain and big
| OF heart. He would have been a sue
cess in any field he undertook. He
was gifted with an unusually bright
mind and was one of the best enter
tainers and conversationalists in the
| country. This fact was recognized
and appreciated by the newspaper
men of Washington, who had the
greatest admiration for the man.
There never was a dinner of the Grid,
iron Club that Colonel Turk was not
an invited guest and he was one OF
the most popular of those who at
| tended these functions.

The Raleigh News and Observer
prints the full text of Judge PEBBLES
remarks at Lumberton court, in
which he signified his purpose to
arraign the Robson county lawyers
for contempt because they refused
to try cases before him. In the
course of his remarks his honor said:
l took no notice of the attacks
made upon my trial of the Haywood
case for the reason they were vague
and indefinite, and were aimed at
me and not at my Office, and for the
further reason that l felt satisfied
that all intelligent. unprejudiced
lawyers. who read the proceedings
OF the case, would sustain my rul-
ings.
All we have to say is that in our
opinion Judge PEBBLES will find a

were astOnished at his rulings in
the Haywood case-a good many
who are intelligent and unpreiudiced
The conclusion of his contest with
the Robeson county lawyers will be

Mr.. AVERY'S SUCCESSOR.

Mr.. Robert f. Follin is to succeed
the lamented Isaac Erwin Avery as
CITY editor OF the Charlotte Observer.
He will assume the duties of his new
position thelatter part OF the present
week. Mr.. Follin is IL native OF Win
ston7Salem, but for the past five
years he has been engaged in news
paper work in New York City, resign
ing his position there to accept the
tender of the city editorship OF the
Charlotte Observer. His return to
North Carolina and his accession to
journalism will be welcomed by the
press of the State and the readers OF
our esteemed contemporary.
Mr.. Follin is a graduate OF the Uni
versity of North Carolina, where he
took high rank in his class. After
leaving the University, he went to
New York to take position with
the New York Commercial. Later he
left that paper to become real estate
reporter for the New York Herald.
He is said to be young man OF de-
cided talent, who will fill his new posi-
ton with credit to himself and the
paper.
In making the announcement OF
Mr.. Follin' S engagement the Observer
OF Tuesday says this:
The workmen die, but the work
must continue. This is the law of life
and it is as inexorable as death. 1t
is due the memory of Mr.. Avery, as
we'll as the readers of this paper and
the paper itself, that he be succeeded
by worthy workman-the very
wOrthiest available; and tits believed
that he has been found in Mr.. Robert
f. Follin, with whom an engagement
to take the city editorship of the
Observer was concluded yesterday.
Il To many of the readers OF
the Observer, in Charlotte and else
! where, he is already known person
| ally, to all of them through his New
York correspondence. He is a young
gentleman of ability and accomplish
ments, and we account ourselves for,
tunate in having been able to inter
est him with a tender of the Losition
| which he is about to assume. At the
same time we congratulate Charlotte
upon the acquisition of cultured
young citizen, who will win upon it
from the first, and the State upor
the return to it of a gentleman who
trained to newspaper work in New
York, and broadened by contact with
the outside world, is to play in future
no inconspicuons part in our life and

Statesville Landmark.
Voters liable to poll tax will bear
in mind that this tax must be paid
by May 1st if they desire to partici-
pate in the election this year. Non
payment of poll tax by May 1st
means that the voteris disfranchised
for this year, but this does not ex-
cuse the payment OF the tax. That
will have to be paid in the end,
whether you vote or not The time
is short and those who don't want
to be disfranchised had better make
arrangements. We repeat that
those who owe taxes know it and if
they allow themselves to be dis
franchised they have only them
selves to blame. Complaint will
