INSULTING PoLYGAMY.

Some of the hired liars of Apostle
Smoot's political bureau and Senator
Smoot e religious bureau, laboring in
the East, are telling tho people that
polygamy never was a cardinal prin-
ciplo Of the Mormon religion; and somo
of the Mormon prints in this State and
surrounding commonwealths arU QUOT
ing the uttersnco W th approval. The
shamelessnoss Of the falsehood and the
utter degradation of that APPROVAL
Every Mormon woman who WAS in
duccd to co1semt tn her husbanG s po-
lygamous relations with other wives an |
every woman u'nn was jnducoI - he
come a plural wife was taught that
tho acceptance of this doctrine in pracr
tice was essential to her eternal sal
vation--tbat only by and through the
practice of plural celestial marriage
could the man attain TO his glory in
the next world, only through it could
he have his wife or wives, and only
through it could woman have her
husband. There are plenty of men and
women living in monogamy who were
members of the Mormon church and
who were warned if they did not sc-
cept and practice polygamy they would
be eternally separated from each other
in the next world, More than one man
now living, whose name could be given
by The Tribune was taught by the
highest authority in the Mormon
church that If he did not take another
wife the one whom he already had
would be given to some priest who had
tentatively picked her out for an addi-
tion TO his marital establishment in the
next world.
Gentiles can endure the absurdity of
this new falsehood but we have heard
Mormons who say that it makes their
blood boi-men whose mothers were
dragged into the relation under the
teaching that they and their husbands
would be damned if they did not accept
polygamy, men whose sisters accepted
plural marriage with all its tortures
rather than to see the men they lovod
sent to pcrdition, and rather than $40
themselves separated from the husband
of their choice and given TO some other
man whom they did not know, but
who had seen their charms of earth and
fanoied that he would like to riot in
them in heaven.
The teaching Of the doctrine may
have been frightful, the denial Of It
now is an infamy past expression-fo.
to deny it now means that all the tor
lures have been In vain.
Tho person who can view such an
awful situation with equanimity must
be the creature who forgets THAI he
ever had a mother. IT is reserved for
the hired agents and press of the Nor
mon church to pay the final insult to
Mormon polygamy.

THE APOSTLE PROVES 1T.

The Descret News tells that there
never was q time in the history of the
Mormon church when there was less eN-
cuse than now for the intimation about
church dictation in political affairs
And this beautiful claim is put for
ward by the official organ of the Nor
mon church. at the very moment when
n dicker is being carried through for
the delivery of the Mormon vote iu a
State not a thousand miles east of us as
n reward for Senatorial help in the
Smoot case-and at the very moment
when presidents of stakes in Idaho, un-
der the general direction from the
higher ecclesiasts Of the church, are
delivering conventions bound hand and
foot to politicians whose favor the
church desires TO procurcl
There never was time in the his
tory of the Mormon church when there
was better reason for the assertion that
the church is debating in politics, AS
shown repeatedly by The Tribune, the
system and the machinery have been so
we'll organized by the eccleslasts that
1T is not necessary for the prophet, seer
and revelator to appear in proper per-
son. All he has to do is to send the
whisper and the faithful know what is
demanded from them, and the faithful
pay their duty as they covenanted st
do and MS they are constantly reminded
from the pulpit it is their solemn obi
CATION to do under penalty of God s
disfavor.
Apostle Reed Smoot has conveyed
frequently at Washington to leading
politicians that he had very large in
fuence in Wyoming and Idaho. How
does he possess such influence and how
does he exercise it9 The people of the
two States have neither acquaintance
with him nor respect for his politics,
The only way that he can sway any
power in Wyoming or idaho is through
the authority of the Mormon church.
and it is tins alone which gives to him
influence.
The News might as we'll try to argue
Mt. Nebo into a hollow as to argue
that there is no church dictation in poll
tics so long as Apostle Reed Smoot as

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The Fourteenth National Irrigation
Congress meets in Boise on Monday,
September 3rd next, and remains in ses.
sion the whole Of the week. Boise is
making extraordinary efforts to provide
sumptuously for the delegates, who are
expected to be greater in numbers and
more famous in station and prominence
in public life than gTaced any pre-
vious session of the Congress.
1t is not certain whether or not
President Roosevelt will attend; If he
goes to San Francisco about the timo

planned to do, he will probably drop

An imposing array Of dignitaries is
thus assured for the congress. and Boise

carried out for the instruction and en-

arid States will compete for premiums.
1t is understood that the competition

A congress OF this kind at Boise is
practically a home proposition for all

for its success on general lines, but we
should support the meeting with all the
energy and enthusiasm that we would
give to it if it were hold in Utah. Our

JOCUND IN DEATH,

The newspapers and political allies of
Smootism have considerably fixed the
date for the funeral of Senator Fred T.
Dubois of Idaho; and, not to be outdone
in generosity, the Senator has an
nounced the day when Apostle Smoot
will quit this Senatorial life, So far
honors are very uneasy. The Mormon
church may get Dubois next winter and
thump tho clods down on his political
coffin with dull, sickening thud-but
Dubois will not stay dead politically
until he is dead altogether. On the
other hand, the great general senti-
ment of this country, which Fred 7.
Dubois of Idaho voices in the Senate,
may get Smoot and, embalm him po-
litically before next Christmas day
and he will stay embalmed, SO far as
National affairs are concerned, for the
rest of his natural life, and then some.
The age OF chivalry is supposed to
have past; but we cannot count it all
to have vanished so long as a man like
Dubois can cheerfully and charitably
tell tho Mormon church, through the
medium of its own organ, that it will
not be long without Senator, because
although Smoot will be dismissed be-
fore the Christmas holidays-his place
can be filed by the action of the Utah
legislative assembly Immediately after
the new year shall open!

PAUL'S RESURRECTION.

tomb and has resurrected one Profes-
sor Joshua Paul, whose ardent defense

ties out of public sight, But he has sue
ceeded in offending the Logan senti-
ment about the Agricultural College,
and the Journal Of that town proceeds
to expose him by exposing his hy-
pocrisy and unfairness.
IT tells that Professor Paul, after
tumbling from the grace of the church
as an educator, applied for a position
at the Agricultural College, and this
being refused he was inductcd into the
University Of Utnh. Just why the
Agricultural College declined him if he
was friendly to polygamy, and just
why the University of Utah employed
him, the Journal does not state, But
that paper insists that now Professor
Paul is exhibiting hostile and preju-
diced feeling toward the Agricultural
College and is doing what he can to

NEVADA TRIUMPHANT.

For great many years the people
east OF the Alleghenies have been harp
ing upon Nevada as "rotten bor-
ough" At the same time there has
never been anything in Nevada politi-
cally as rotten as political develop
ments in New York, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Delaware and some OF
the other Eastern States have shown
exist there Nevada came into the
Union during the war, being known as
the Battle-born State" The idea was
that Nevada would, in the Nation 8
financial trouble, with the tremendous
mineral discoveries just then making,
furnish stable basis of precious
metals for the currency; q basis that
was then tremendously needed. From
the time OF the decline of the Com
stock the population and output Of
Nevada decreased until the total Of the
census of 1900 showed the State to
have but little moro population than
an ordinary country city in the East
However, we of the West knew all the
time that Nevada's resources were
scarcely surface-scratched We knew
that there was water enough there to
supply large agricultural and stock in
terests, and that these were bound to
develop. We knew that the State was
hardly prospected in the modern sense
for minerals. We knew that in every
way there was great future for the
State Of Nevada, and now that future
begins to appear,
1t is curious to note the changed tone
of the Eastern press with respect to

adverse judgment of the East with re

The Western view is sustained, and

OF the coming States. No State in The

DIAMONDS SOARING UPWARD.


Notwithstanding the fact that rubies
are made here on the Pacific coast, as
was shown by the Times last Sunday
In a well-illustrated article, and that
there Is rumor that diamonds are soon
TO be manufactured by the ton, In New
York, so perfect that they cannot be
called limitations, the precious jewels
continue TO go skyward.
Pearls, rubies, emeralds and diamonds
are climbing at a rapid rate on tho
London market. emeralds having ad-
vauced so per cent In two years and
diamonds 20 per cent in the same time,
while the latter had advanced another
20 per cent In the two years prior TO
that.
The jump In prices Is due to the dete-
rioration OF the mines. In the case of
diamonds the stones are becoming fewer
in number, but the mines are producing
finer, whittier and more brilliant stones
SO great is the speculation in diamonds
that one association has come into pos
session of S2000,000 worth OF the rare
stones, They are holding them for specu-
lative purposes. claiming that they will
increase in value fully 25 per cent during

One day, well do farmer in need OF

bring against neighbor. The lawyer
looked up the statute and advised his
client what course TO pursue. AS the lat
ter rose 10 leave the office he asked, How
much?"
"oh, say three dollarsi" carelessly re-
sponded the lawyer.
Whereupon the client proffered a five-
dollar bill. The lawyer appeared embar-
rassed, He carefully searched his pock-
cts and the drawers OF his desk without
finding the necessary change. Finally he
met the eXigency by pocketing the bill
and observing, as he reached for a digest:
