CONTR OVERSY,

Nowhere, perhaps, Is the difference
between brute and a gentleman more
apparent than In controversy The
mule win kick, the dog VIII bite and
bark, the cat will scratch, and the
snake will hiss and try to strike with
his polson-c charged fangs, In all this the
only object Is killing and destroying. But
a gentleman is a gentleman in the midst
Of the most heated controversy. His
aim is the establishment OF the truth
Of that which is the subject OF debate,
and the destruction OF falsehood, not
OF opponents, as In the combats OF
brutes. For that reason, he never per-
mits personalities to blind his judy
ment, or prejudces to darken his UNI
derstandng. lie argues for principles,
not for personal interests.
II is astonishing how few human
beings are capable Of sustaining a
gcntlemanly controversy Even alleged
ministers OF the gospel, I'm a majority
Of cases fight like brutes. II they hap
pen to encounter slight contradiction,
or find themselves the object OF critl-
cism, no matter how mild and gentle,
they turn upon the critic with almost
demonlcal fury calling names. lmpung-
ing motives, raying, tearing, olawlng,
barking, and forgetting all about the
point in controversy. The harm they
are doing their own cause by such ex-
hibltlons Of brutal Instincts, IA lncalcu.
liable. II they were gentlemen, they
would calmly discuss matters, and en-
deovor to enlighten the public with
facts and argument, instead OF resortlng
to personal attacks. Even tho great arch
angel Michael. when IN controversy
with the devil, refrained from bringing
against him railing accusation" and
left him TO the Lord; but these modern
dlalecticlans deliberately choose to
initiate tho devil instead OF Michael.
They know whose pupils they are. And
they follow their master
OF course, gentlemen can take no
notice Of the personal rawlings OF brutes,

THOU SHALT NOT LIE I"

In reply 10 n question from friend IN
relation to an article In the Evening
News Of March Is, we VIII say that
the preacher referred to therein was
one d, A. Brown, and our only reason
for referring TO his discourse was his
shameful misrepresentation OF the
President Of the Mormon" Church. We
did not mention his name, as we had
no desire to be personal We did not
offer any criticism OF his discourse,
with the exception Of the small excerpt
which we quoted and which Is as fol-
lows.
I'VE have In our midst a system Of as
bold effrontery with their prlnceps
princporum living IN open defiance Of
Gods law and mans, he excommuni-
Gates one OF his followers. He says,
Curse all these people outside Of the
Mormon faith
We denied that the President of the
Church exercises the power of excom-
munlcation, and showed that It Is vest
ed IN the courts OF the Church, We chal-
lenged the preacher TO produce any
such expression from leading au-
thOrity of the Church as the words
Curse all these people outside OF the
Mormon faith" We denounced these
utterances of that preacher from the
pulpit as "wlckedly, Intentionally and
UNANIMOUSLY false" We now repeat
what we said with emphasis, and II
any words OF ours could make our de-
NAL OF his statement and our chal-
lenge to him to prove what he charged
more forcible and direct, he may con,
slider them as spoken,
As TO the platitudes which chiefly
composed the sermon as reported, We
do not care the shadow Of an atom.
They are not In question. He bore false
witness against his neighbor, and Will
have TO answer for his Infamous sin be-
fore the bar OF last resort. We mention
this simply to satisfy our correspond
ent. and suggest to him that no amount
Of clrcumlocutlon and plous pretenslon
will meet the misrepresentation delib-
erately made by that preacher, on the
Sabbath day, from an alleged Christian
pulpit,

II Hardin now Is reached
It viii be with small force, and the
internal troubles OF Russia have pre-
vented the government from Dispatch
Ing troops to that point In large num-
bers, as the intention once was. Line
Witch, therefore, inds himself in po-
sltlon very different from that which
Kuropatkin counted on when he decid-
ed to make a series OF retreats to the
northern stronghold.
The release OF Kuropatkln, at this
time in disgrace Is, possibly a grave
mistake. lie is the hero Of great
many battles with Russa's enemies,
and he has reputation for presence
Of mind under the most critical condl-
lions. His retreats have been marvel
Gus feats of military skill, and It Is
question whether any other Of Rus
sla's military leaders could have saved
the army from total destruction so long.
If he now Is to be used as a scapegoat,
will he join the rcvomtlonsts?

THE GREAT TEMPLE

A little illustrated pamphlet contain
ing "A Description OF the Great Temple,
Salt Lake city" by ID. NJ McAllster,
has just been published by the Bureau
Of Information and Church Literature.
1t gives as full information as possible
within the limits Of the publication, OF
the building Of this remarkable struc-
ture, and the ordinances performed
within its sacred walls. Questions con-
corning these things are always asked
by strangers, and such questions are
fully and frankly answered. The 1T
tie pamphlet should be most welcome
to Latter-day Saints too, because of the
Information II gives IN a concise form.
In all ages, when there have been tenn
pies Of the Lord upon the earth, these
have been the object Of peculiar inter-
est. The history Of the Jews almost
centers around their temples. When
ever they had such a structure, with
the glory of God filling It, they were
strong and prosperous, and triumphant
In the midst OF enmlty and hatred When
the temple, and temple-servlce, were
neglected, national decline set In. When
the temple was destroyed. the nation
was scattered, and the gathering was
oontemporaneous with the restoration OF
the temple. But national glory never
returned except with the return Of tho

itatIon. Thus tho history OF temples is
reflected in the history Of the people Of
God. 1t is singular, but II is a warn
Ing to the Latter-day Saints, 10 serve

may be their strength, their salvation.

The utmost freedom OF speech on both
sides, within tho bounds OF decorum,
win be accorded. and the entire judicial
power OF the Church may be invoked
go that Justice may be done. No per-
son In the Church is exempt from trial
for fellowship on complaint and the
production Of evidence. A public con-
gregation Is certainly not the proper
place for such a proceeding,
The plea that member Of the
Church IL deprived OF the right OF free
speech when convicted OF sandering a
brother or sister, either by tongue or
pen, and dealt with as the law Of God
provides, is palpable absurdlty. II
may be asked, has he not the right to
apeak the truth and publish It abroad ?
That depends upon the conditions He
cannot assall an officer or member OF
the Church In public. whether what
he charges be true or false, and retain
his standing In the Church. II he de-
sires TO attack one Of his brethren or
sisters In such way, he must not

ship nor with the fellowship Of the
Saints, He must either conform TO the
regulations Of the Church or so outside

II member is determined 10 take
his own course, and Indulge In what
he calls free speech against the
Church authorities or members, he is
not prevented from doing so by excom-
muncation. on the contrary, he Is
left to do as he chooses and talk as he
pleases without any Church restriction.
The only string upon him Is the secu-
lar law as to libel. But while he re-
mains In the Church he should be sub
ject TO its regulations. That should
be clear enough without further ex-
planatlon
If any Church dgnitary breaches
false doctrine, violates Church law

leges OF fellow member acts I'm any
manner contrary to the law OF God or
OF man. he Is amenable to the dis
cipline Of the Church and may be
reached In the way that God and the

and all things must be done "decently

HARDIN,

The great question at the seat Of war
now is whether General Llneyltch, who
is TO succeed General Kuropatkln. viii
be able to save enough OF the great
army, TO make a temporary stand at
Hardin. Kuropatkin, It will be re-
membered, opposed the war policy Of
his government from the beginning
He knew the strength Of Japan and the
weakness OF the Russians, But when
war was decided upon, he accepted the
situation, and decided to retreat from
stronghold to stronghold, lighting as
best he could, At LAO Yang he saved
his army without the loss OF ammunI-
ton. and executed a most remarkable
retreat to Mukden, His next objective

Whatever may have been the precise

It requires but a BRIEF retrospect to

The Sale to Beemer Said to Have
 Failed.

Yesterday in the district court the attorneys for the Planet-Saturn Min ing company, bankrupt, withdrew the offer of the composition of creditors on part of the company n the case of this company against A. A. Johns, says the Arizona Journal-Miner.
 This practically leaves no suit before the court, and in the case that no fur ther legal steps are taken, the Planet Saturn group of mines in the Weaver district will become the property of A. A. Johns on the 1st of December next, provided he makes the last payment of S25, 900.
 F. s. Clark represented H. J. Beemer, who secured the composition of credit ors with the intention. of gaining con- troI of the property and operating it. All that was lacking was for the court to approve of the composition. There was an obstacle in the way of this, and that was an option given on the prop erty by Referee in Bankruptcy Job. A short time ago Johns instituted a pro- ceeding to test his rights in the matter and the court held that the option was valid, and that through having com piled with it's terms by making the first payment of 5000 on a stipulated date; he had acquires a vested right. As Johns option was declared valid, and gave him a prior right to purchase the property, Beemer apparently decided to drop the proposition, as evidenced by his withdrawal made in court yes terday, for a composition of the cred itors would not have been of any value to him.
 Johns has $25, ,OOO more to pay, but there is no question but that he will come to the centerat the appointed time, as a company has already been incorporated to take over the property.
 The court also ordered returned to Beemer, yesterday, the sum of $6, 800, which he had deposited when he insti- tuted proceedings.
