PREMATURE OBITUARIES.

The prophets have sent out the wbis-
per again, and the minor Mormon prints
are saying; ''The Tribune is dying,
dying The Tribune is dead. Vale
Tribunelp
Nearly quarter Of century ago
an ardent young newspaper man Of Og-
den wrote and published a lengthy
obituary Of Hon, Lorin Farr, the
prominent Mormon patriarch Of Weber
county. Certain local guessers, known
as physicians, had announced that his
vital spark would be extinguished be-
fore CLOCK p. m. of given dav.
and, as the local paper went TO press Mt

exhibition Of local respect and enter.

editorial eulogy that same afternoon.
and thus avoid being scooped by the
Salt Lake contemporaries. Contrary to
the medical prediction, Hon. Lorin Farr
recovered his physical health and his
mental activity, and he is, at this writ.
ing, one of the most entertaining Of
companions and one of the most noted
travellers of his church. His ninety
years of life have brought to him no
greater delight than those premature
death notices. Whenever the years
seem to crowd upon him, he brings out
the old scrapbook; and as he peruses
the story, of his supposedly finished
career and reads the sentiment, HVale.
Lorin Farr" he reminds his friends
that he has preached funeral sermons
over the remains of several of the men
who printed that all too enterprising
newspaper. They have gone, and even
the name of the journal which pub.
lished his death notice has passed into
the shadows of forgotten things; but
he is still alive and in love with life
doing good as he sees it and content
to abide on earth so long as his pres.
enee here IS blessing to humanity.
Tho Tribune knows exactly how Hon.
Lorin Farr feels; for it has read a
varied collection of it's own obituary
notices. Like Lorin Farr with his eu
logies, The Tribune has preached fu-
neral sermons over several papers that
have prematnrely pronounced: "Vale

content to abide on enrth-living and
in love with life-so long as its pres

soPp1NG UP THE FRAGMENTS.

Now that Smoot has corralled all the
Offices, has got his favorites into every
vacancy, and had made some vacancies
to get his favorites in, he is laying
out to take in the opposition faction
within the Church Republican party.
The swallowing of. this faction will not
be an act to unduly distend his jaws,
as it is not as large as 1t once was;
the American party having made seri-
Gus inroads upon it. Still. there was
enough OF it left to be troublesome,
and to mako it desirable to Smoot to
be rid of it.
The selection by Apostle Snnoot Of
James T. Hammond, former Secretary
OF State, 10 be chairman Of his State
committee, is significant of the desire
Of the apostle TO end all strife by TAX
ing in the discordant elements. These
have been laboring under the misap-
prehension for two years or so that
they might be able TO effect "reform
within the party' but of course that
is absolutely out of the question, The
church is insolently triumphant in con-
troll of the so-called Republican party,
and neither brooks nor fears any oppo-
sition therein. Any fight within the
ranks of that party is quickly.
squelched by the church power, which
is absolute and is at tho disposal Of
Apostle Smoot to use in any way that
he sees fit. Heretofore he has seen ht
TO make the dwelling within the church
party lines too noisome for independent
men, whether these be Republicans OF
Democrats. Those who still cling to
the forlorn hope that they might pos
sibly throw of the church domination
Of their party must now see their fate.
The church, under Apostle Smoot's di-
rection, is absolutely supreme.
There is but one thing for any
independent voter Of Republican Ma
tional affiliations and adherent of Re
publican principles, to do in Utah. He
must either submit to be taken, bound
hand and foot Into the church camp,
or he must repudiate the whole vicious
affiliation. There is no middle course
for any Republican in Utah under
present conditions He must submit,
get out, or be kicked out. If he stays
in he is absolutely impotent, as much
20 as a mouse under the foot of an ele
ohant. Apostle Smoot is supreme. He
has gathered in the remnants, and
here is now absolutely nothing left of
What was once the glorious Republican
,artv in Utah but the foul thing
Known everywhere as Smootism.

COUNSELED TO FUSE.

The Paris Poet, the chief newspaper
representative in Idaho of the Utah
hierarchy-after year of hoostine 2
that Dubois was dead-plaintively IN.
nounces that the Democratic State con
yention has been held, "Dubois is the
victor, and the party is bound to do
his bidding This is case Of: "He
being dead, yet speaketh -
| And in a subsequent issue to this
mournful wall the Post gives its in
| spired instruction to voters of its cult,
notifying them that fusion is necessary
| between Republican and Democratic
Mormons in order to offset the Dubois
campaign.
The Post is little tardy in advis-
ing Mormons of all political persuasions
| In Idaho TO fuse; they had no need
Of such counsel 1t was because they
fused at the direction Of the hierarchy
| in Salt Lake that they were disfran-
chlsed when Idaho was Territory
and 1T is because they have fused at
| the instance of that same hierarchy,
since Idaho became a State, that the
present political movement against
them has acquired such force and in
tenslty. Even if they had merely com
bined as Mormon mass to vote a
Mormon ticket constructed at the di-
rection of their religious chiefs in
Salt Lake, there might have been no
such antagonism to them in Idaho;
but they have not only fused as Nor
mons, but they have fused into the
Democratic party in one campaign and
before election have "unfusedD from
that organization and have fused into
the Republican party-and vice versa.
And this fusion and its resultant con.
fusion-always at the dictation of the
Salt Lake hierarchy and always used
to corrupt the institutions Of Idaho
have aroused the intelligent citizenship
Of our neighbor State anew to the
sense Of danger.
The Paris Post has not helped the
Mormon cause IN Idaho by it's enraged
exposure of the Mormon church
method. The Post has gone mad or it
would not have revealed so plainly the
purpose of the hierarchy Having done
so, the people of Idaho may take no.
tice that the Mormons are under in
struction to sustain the hierarchy in
polygamY and politics; that they can
didly acknowledge that they will not
take the test oath to which all other
citizens are willing to submit; and that
they propose to use their remaining Do
lltical power in the State as unit
to withstand the enforcement of the
State Constitution
1T is not often in this civilized day
that any body of people, particularly
those protesting religious sentiment,
will openly band themselves together
in State to nullify the provisions of
its organic law. But such is the case
in Idaho, and some of the Gentle pol
iticians seem to be inclined TO aid the
Mormon church in its disloyal labor

A LIVE SNAKE IN IRELAND.
tor Democrat and Chronicle

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
The apparently we'll authenticated news
that a snake. measuring three feet In
length, has been found in Ireland. has
created no little discussion, and doubtless
there are many exIles from the Emerald
Isle who Will refuse to accept the report
as fact; not only because such an occur
renee IS unprecedented. but In respect to
the tradition Of St. Patrick, which is
dear to the heart OF every true Irish
man.
Aside from the generally accepted
theory that all of the noXious reptiles
were banished by the patron saint OF
ireland. occasional experiments have
been made which tend 10 prove the fact
that snakes cannot exist on the soil OF
the Green Isle. few years ago resi-
dent Of Rochester. on q tour through
Scotland and ireland. determined TO make
q test for himself. Re procured small
snake in Scotland and conveyed II across
TO the Irish border IN a boy. So long
as the Scotch reptile remained IN It's
cage and was kept from contact with
the soil, the snake was apparently as
we'll and as lively as when II was taken
from It's home In the Highlands Several
Irish gentlemen became interested in the
experiment and there was not little
mild gambling on the result. A board
inclosure was made in a meadow and
the snake was placed on the ground and
given It's liberty within the Enclosure.
Almost Immediately II showed signs Of
distress, and after few hours II died:
even violating the other tradition that
a snakes tail does not die until sun
set.

IT IS HERE.

Inc hlchneld sun, dlscourSlnR on inc
iniquities of the Smootite apostolic po-
litical machine in Utah, says:
Respectable and conscientious Republicans
in Utah have absolutely use for de.
based and intriguing party machine. 1t is
q dangerous combination of wheels within
wheels, and IL IL continues TO roll 1t will be
the undoing OF the party and Republicans
occupy seats in tho gallery with the riT-rar
and odds and ends of docnyed respectability.
But why say elf it continue'7 1t
has continued, 1t has consummated.
The Smootite machine in Utah is held
together today only by fear and We
nality. The respectable element Of the
party has ceased to even apologize for
the party has ceased to countenauce its
corruptions. Some there are, possess
ing their own individual decencies in
politics, who permit themselves to be
dragged at its wheels; but that is be-
cause they fear its vengeance not
alone in politics but in their CONNER,
cial pursuits and in their religious af-
filiations. Let business man, once
allied with Smootism, reject its pres
ent Infamous operations and he is
marked for It's despite. Let member
Of the Mormon church renounce his af-
filiation with Smootism and he is
marked for social and church ostracism.
But even these petty terrors, welded
by the petty tyrants, are not sufficient
to hold Smootism together with all the
joints of it's machine cloggcd and all
its spokes broken.
The evil that the Richfeld Sun sees
for the future is already here, To deny
that it is here is to deny that it can
come by tho continuation Of evil ma
chine methods; for it would be didi-
cult indeed to conceive Of any possible
atrocity which has not already been
committed.
The advice Of papers like the Rich
field Sun is that Republicanism in Utah
shall cast OFF the evil leadership, shall
cleanse itself, shall be rejuvenated, and
shall go forth as a giant refreshed to
engage its political enemies in an hon
est political warfare. That is no moro
than an iridescent dream. Who will
lead, and who will control7 Though
there should arise new evanpel.
though he should be chaste as ice and
pure as snow in politics he could not
escape Smootism Look at George
Sutherland, junior Senator from this
State. He fought Smootism; he de-
nounced 1t; he was regarded by certain
Of his followers as the redeemer of the
Republican cause in Utah-one who
would lift it from its quagmire and
place it once more upon the radiant
;nplands. The p, only way he could
achieve his leadership and his Senator
ship was to,accept Smootism as a part
ner3 and then he immediately lost his
leadership and now holds his Senator
ship as fief under Apostle Smoot. So
it has been with others, and so it will
be with others. Utah Republicanism is
smootisY. That is all there is to it.
The moment Apostle Smoot ceases to
control the Republican party that mo.
ment the Republican party will be
doomed TO defeat as it is already
doomed to disgrace, because the church
will take. away its voters from that
party. The brilliant prophet Of the
Rich6eld Sun can discover more in the

it believes in the force, vigor and util-
