ELEVEN O'CLOCK DECISION.

IL is understood in political circles
that there will be no shillY-shally bust
ness this year, and that the hierarchs
entrusted with the execution of the
political designs Of the Mormon church
VIII not delay their decision until
eleven o clock on election day, nor at
tempt to switch from bne party to the
other in the afternoon while the votes
are being cast. All is to be arranged in
advance by most wise, carefully cal
culated and well.enforced provision
This will be good news to some of
the, aspiring politicians, and will If
well understood, preserve some aspir-
ing candidates from wasting their
money. The community will be spared
the painful spectacle of seeing bright.
attractive young men walking around
the. streets after having mortgaged
their homes and lost their Jobs in an
effort to get political offices on tickets
which the church pretended it would
favor, but really intended to defeat.
This determined method will also
please the chief organ of the church.
for 1T recently gave currency TO the
opinion that the Mormons were a set
of fools TO Jockey with the political
situation until such q late hour as to
permit the American party to carry of
the plum of victory.
So now all is tranquil. The hierarchs
know which party they will choose, and
within the next sixty DAYS their choice
will be indicated by the whisper to
the faithful and may possibly be made
manifest by the manner in which the
favorites shall bet their money and
their nominations.

THE SCHEME.

Why France and Italy and the Holy
Land for President Smith, That is
the question which is agitating the
minds Of the faithful at this time; and
naturally they turn to The Tribune for
answer, because their own organs are
silent on the entire matter Of the
prophet S flight and the reasons there
for.
Well, first, there is the example of
Rockefeller. who found a delightfully."-
quiet nook in the French Republic, and
enjoyed seclusion which would not
be possible even In England, where the
people have common language and
some common interest in American af-
fairs, But that is not all; for the i'm.
pressiveness of the argument in be-
half of President Smith IS ahstention
from politics in the intermountain re-
gion of the United States will be en-
hanced by the addition of this factor
that he was in remote countries where
the people take very little interest in
American SUBJECTS, where Amrican
newspapers do not circulate and where
he could not by any possible means be
kept in touch with or be touched by the
political demands of Utah, Idaho and
Wyoming. And, finally, when he re-
turns he will have something important
to talk about to his CONGREGATIONS.
President Smith has aspired to be all
things to his community. AS soon as
he attained his present exalted station
he desired to show to his Mormon fol
lowers that be was greater man than
oil his predecessors combined, with all
present minor hierarchs rolled in TO
make good measure. President LYMAN.
OF the apostolic quorum, has, however
one edge on him. Lyman has been as
far as Jerusalem through the Latin
countries. Every once in q while tho
venerable president Of the apostolic
quorum tells TO a Mormon congregation
something about France and Italy and
Cairo and Damascus and the Mount of
Olives; and all that Joseph f. can do.

gnaw hle. When he returns, therefore,
it may be possible to put President and
Apostle Lyman's pilgrimages far into
the background, and to give fresher in.

But in the respect of his effort to show

are said TO have been narrow escapes

OF settling the dispute as to the origin
of the loss, whether by FIRE or by earth

considerable time TO get at the settle.

An Austrian company has recently
announced that it will pay nothing on
Its San Francisco losses, because of
clause In It's policies expressly except
ing loss by earthquake from the risk
insured against. Other companies are
contesting payments on this general
ground, and also on the point that thev
wish 10 make a distinct line of differ

loss. Whenever these companies are
foreign companies there is no way to
reach them, and they can repudiate at At
pleasure. The only penalty that can
be imposed Is that no householder will
ever again insure in any repudating

But the attitude Of some Of the com.
p!snies brings forward the whole ques-

not pay losses, then il is useless to buy

he has bought. Tie quibbling of so
many insurance companies in regard
TO the San Francisco fire has shaken
the foundations of insurance, and the
public is viewing with favor never
before dreamed of the idea of State
insurance.
But should nothing be done TO meet

THE SOURCE OF AUTHORITY.

Apostle Smoot make up his mind for
him as to what he ought to do about
calling the special session of tho Leg
islature for the purpose of taking the
preliminary steps to consolidate rhc

sity Of Utah 1t is probable that Gov
ernor Cutler knows now what his de,
cislon is on that question, though he
didn Z know this prior to his trip TO
Provo.
II is well, when we have such an Off.
cial as Governor Cutler, that there is
prepared n source from which he can
receive inspiration and guidance. Bad
as that guidance is liable TO be, any
thing is better than nothing. The case
is something like that of the wicked
sailor who was about to die, and was
assured that he would 90 to hell;
''and, remarked his bunk mate, ''you
ought TO be thankful that there is a
place prepared for you to 60 to-"
against which the dying
man was disposed to rebel, but saw no
way 10 help himself
So it is with the people OF Utah.
They may think it is hell TO have such
n Governor, and to see him seek such
counsel and direction as he does,
but there he is, and there is no way to
help 1t, Occasionally, however, good
counsel can come from the worst of
sources; and it is possible that it may
be so in this case.

JUDGE BARTCH's RESIGNATION.

The announcement of the retirement
Of Judge Bartch from the Supreme
Bench of this State means the loss to
the public of man whose long public
services to Utah and able and CON

nary respect and consideration. His ca

equipped by learning and experience, he
at once took a foremost part in the
public life of the community. Holding
prominent and responsible judicial posi-.
tiops in the Territorial government, his
calling to the Supreme bench of the
State (whcre he has served with dis
tinction ever since Utah admission)
was merely continuation of his service
In the Territorial Supreme Court.
In his service in this capacity, Justice
Bartch has won high regard in the
estimation Of the bar and of the pub
lie He has graced the bench with dig.
nifty, learning, scrupulous honor. fidelity,
Industry, and a capacity of getting at
the core Of every question and deciding
1T with justice and legal acumen. His
mining decisions are ranked with the
best from any court, and his decision in
the Grand Central Mammoth case is
judicial classic. We are all reluctant to
lose Judge Bartch from the bench; but
private interest cannot always be ex.
pected to give way to public advantage.
Judge Bsrtch has served the public
well. He retires with the respect and
the regrets of every discriminating per
son in the State.
