VICTORY AND DEFEAT.

The Smootite organs of tho Mormon
church and the political journals which
bow to the influence and bhtten on the
financial support OF the hierarchy, arc
engaged In a labor. which must be to
them pleasing. They are unit. with
the exception OF the Deseret News; and

strate that Apostle Snoot has won
victory in the Senate, and that Senator
Dubois has been defeated and discred-
tied, One OF the newspapers, which de-
rives its inspiration from church head
quarters being desirous OF earning It's
pay. says that the passage OF the reso-
luton introduced in the Committee on

ticle this statement: THE committee,
by vote of seven to five. agreed TO
favorably report the Dubois resolution
declaring Senator Smoot not entitled to
a seat"
The kind OF vindication which is thus
established for the apostle and the kind
of discredit which thus attaches to Sem
ator Dubois must be plain to the intel
lieent reader. To paraphrase a famous
expression: Another victory like this
Will cost the Mormon king his crown;
and another defeat like this will re-
elect Senator Dubois"

INcoNGRUoUs INTERESTS,

The Deseret News says that unity OF
and development OF this State. that It
may speedily reach its nigh Destiny
At present there are two incongru-
Gus, inharmonious and irreconcilable
interests in Utah, One is that of the
American people and the other is that
of the Mormon church hierarchy. The
American people desire to see this Utah
an American State, devoted to national
Mormon church hierarchy. The Amer
lean people desire to see this Utah an
American State, devoted to national
loyalty and State patriotism-a commu-
nifty obedient to law and regardful of
the seutimentalities OF the civilized
world. The Mormon church hierarchy
desire to maintain the rule of their alb
solutism here. under which most OF
them are permitted to practice viola
tion of the law, and all OF them are en-
gagged In the support of such violation:
under which they direct the politics of
their community in antagonlsm to the
sentiment prevailing among civilized
mankind and under which also they
subordinate the sipirtualItles OF reli-
gion TO the aggrandizement of temporal
institutions OF finance and commerce.
The two interests as they stand. can
not mingle; nor can unity be produced
from them. One or the other must un-
conditionally surrender. II the Nor
mon church hierarchy Ia right and all
the rest OF the world is wrong the
American interest In Utah must yield
to the church interest, On the other
hand. II the church hierarchy are
wrong and II God does not give to them
supreme authority over all the human
race, they must yield and the Ameri-
can interest must predominant here
There is no middle ground upon
which unity can be established. All eff
forts TO harmonize them have been
futile and worse than futile. for such
efforts have but perpetuated a wrong
Unconditional surrender OF wrongful
authority Is the only means to attain
unity OF purpose. Civilization must re-
treat or the Mormon church hierarchy
must recede.
