A WARNING TRAGEDY.

In speaking of the Holy Rollers and
of the double tragedy at Seattle-the
killing Of Creffeld, the notorious leader
of the sect. by young Mitchell for ruin
| ing the lives Of Mitchell s two sisters
and the subsequent killing of Mitchell
by the hand of his own sister, one Of
Crefficld' s victims-the Deseret News
makes the following extraordinary
statement:
There may have been some evidence ad.
duced during the triol which justified this
opinion [of Crefields S imorality If so,
II has not como TO our notice. In the case
OF the shooting OF Mitchell by his sister, 10
is clear that sho denied the infsmy which at
tached 10 her through the actions OF her
brother, Crcfield's wife md Miss Mitchell
appenr 10 bo in the closest friendship and
harmony, and nothing that has transpired
concerning their conduct and association gives
color 10 tho suspicion OF an illic+t relation
ship with tho deceased Creficld.
Almost anywhere else in the world
the relations between Mrs. Creftield and
Miss Mitchell might have been justly
assumed to be an efficient defense of
Crefield against accusations Of immor
ality. But 1T is the most significant
possible kind of argument for the Des-
eret News to use If Crefield had
under religious teaching, and both they
and his wife thought that they were
serving God by practicing his diabolical
doctrines. And in this view the
declaration Of the Dcseret News turns
back upon itself and almost convicts
Creftield and the women also.
1t is deplorable that such subject
should come forward for public con-
sideration: but that consideration is
necessary for the safety of society. In
no other place does it present a greater
warning than in Utah; and the inter
ested comment of the Descret News
pointed a lesson which this community
should quickly learn.

THORNS FOR HOWELL.

Hon. Joseph Howell is occupying a
thorny couch i'll politics. If Elder
Howell stands with the Republican ma
chine and if the Republican machine
concludes to rob Logan of the Agri-
CULTURAL college, he, the favored son
of Cache, will be branded as a traitor
in. his home county. On the other
hand, if Elder Howell refuses to stand
with the Republican machine, Apostle
Smoot will set him aside for more
subserviept priest
1t is disappointment, no doubt, TO
Elder Howell TO discover that politics
has troubles. Most men who achieve
the distinction OF election TO Congress
have to swim through difficulties and
have to learn the bitter truth carly in
their political life, But that which
has graccd Elder Howell IS life came
so pleasingly and easily that he could
not realize the struggles and the pains
which are ordinarily attendant upon
political controversy. 1t was easy for
him to receive hand grasp from the
prophet, seer and rcvelator and with it
the assurance Of nomination and cleo
ton 1t was easy for him the next
tlme-.after making his report as Rep
resentative In Congress-to receive

RIVAL PRETENDERS.

For the benefit of the good people, Dowe
has been thoroughly exposed through the
revelations made by his rivals during their
long continued controversy. There is now no
excuse for supporting him in his blasphemous
prctensions-Deseret Evening News.
That is expert testimony from rival
pretenders and rival blasphemers. But
having administered the coup de grace
to Prophet Dowie, it would be only
fair for the Deseret News TO tell the
world what is the excuse for support
ing the prophet, seer and reveator of
the Mormon church in his blasphemous
pretensions.
Dowie says he is a prophet; and
many of his followers claim the same
thing. Dowic says all the time that
he is a prophot-he never stultifles
himself by testifying otherwise,
In the case Of the Mormon church
prophet, seer and revelator, the situa-
tion is not even so favorable to the
pretensions; because President Smith
declared on the witness stand in Wash
ington that he did not receive reve-
lations, and therefore out Of his own
lips he is convicted Of blasphemy when
he asserts in Utah that he does re-
ceiye direct instructions from the Most
High,
Bad as is the case Of Dowie, it is
not worse than that Of Smith-nor so
bad Dowie is false prophet, a CRATER,
one who gathers from man in the name
of God and has disbursed at his pleas
ure the accumulations stolen from his
dupes. But he has not engaged in
polygamy-he was reported TO be on
the verge of instituting this feature
into the community life of his Zion,
but, fortunately for himself, was re-
strained before the crime was COM
mitted. In this respect, as well as in
some other matters, Dowieism has the
advantage over Smithism.

A BAD POLICY.

We note that Superintendent Hines
OF the water department has ordered the
sprinkling regulations enforced. con-
tlnlng the watering Of lawns TO GER
tam hours. In the upper district -
the watering may be between aud Q
2. m, and in the "'lower district - from
6 to a. M This means that any one
who does night work, and has to sleep
during the morning hours, loses all
chance to water his lawn. It is an in
discriminating, hasty, and damaging re-
striction.
But why restrict at all' The Su.
perinteudent SAYS that he had hoped to
get through this season without enforc-
ing the regulations; that there is
plenty of water, and in fact, more
than is really needed; but that in SO
large proportion of cases people will
insist on wasting the water by letting
1t run all day long. that this makes a
shortage in the parts of the city where
the mains are small -
That is, the whole people are put
under disability because some abuse
their liberty. But those who insist on
wasting the water are the very ones
who will pay no attention to the re-
strlctive order of tho Superintendent.
The result will be, therefore, as it has
been heretofore, that the lawless will
help themselves without limit while the
law abiding will be hampered and the
night-workers robbed.
1t never seems to occur to the water
superintendent that under the condi-
tions he describes the proper way TO
proceed is to check, by prosecution or
otherwise, those who waste the water.
But these are allowed their own sweet
wlll, without regard TO reason or reeu-
latlon. and the restrictions fall alone
upon the reasonable users, who ought
not to be interfered with at all.
10 harass a whole community be-
cause of the transgressions of some, If
applied in the criminal code, would put
everybody in Jail because there are
criminals among the people. It is bad
logic, bad practice, and wholly indie
fensible, especially as it is admitted
fully that thero is in fact no scarcity
of water.

REMARKS FROM TIE PIP

She taught me that I mustn't bark
Al Httle noises after dark,
But just refrain from any iuss
Until I'm sure they re dangerous
This would be easier, 20 felt
II noises could be seen or smolt
She's very wise. ! have no doubt
And plans ahead what she's about
Yet after eating, every day
She throws her incest bones away
II she were really loss obtuee
She d bury them for future use
But that which makes me doubt the most
Those higher powers that humans boast
Is not SO much n fault like that
Nor yet her fondncss for the cat.
But on our pleasant country strolls
Her dull indifference TO holes!
oh, il once had item 10 spend
To reach n holes EXTREMIST ond

And promptly pull IL inside out;

REED AND JOHN.

"The world is mine shouted the
other Monte Cristo! And so says Sena-
tor Smoot as he rules the religion Of
his people in the president IS Office in
Salt Lake City; and so says Apostle
Reed Smoot as he rules the politics of
his people in his capacity as boss,
Fortunately for Reed Smoot the chief
prophet. seer and rcvelator left all
the paraphcrnalia of his position in the
church Offices whom he left the strenu-
Gus life here for the quietude and sane
tity of the boulevards in the French
capital.
So Reed has ample facilities for the
transaction of his multifarious business,
Never was any other office boy more
delighted at the departure of the real
boss than is Mr.. Smoot to find himself

THE CHURCH FUSION.

If the Americans OF Utah Idaho and
surrounding States could have their
way, the church plan of matchmaking
the church political quorums of Demo,
Gratis and Republicans into one solid
body would become effective. That is
the church plan and desire, despite all
denlals to the contrary The signif-
cant utterance of the Deseret News
counting the Mormons fools for having
allowed the American party to achieve
a victory in Salt Lake is still the scnti-
ment at headquarters. Private confer
ences have been had with political
apostles by political friends of the hie-
rarchy representing both the Demo
cratic and Republican quorums; and
there has been r strong church insist
ence that wherever American domina.
tion threatens there shall be amalpa.
nation of all who are friendly to &c
cleslastlcal rule no matter by what Ma
uonal party name they may call them
selves. Another proof that this is the
purpose is found in the Paris Tdaho)
Post, which recently made the an
nouncement of very pronounced and
growing feeling that democrats and
Republicans alike should lay aside par
ty differences for the present and fuse
this year. They consider it
is not simply matter of politics, but
matter Of protection
Americans would welcome this kind
of n controversy. 1t would be far
cleaner than the present church method
of borrowing Democratic voters to
help Republican success or borrowing
Republican voters to help Democratic
success. If once Americans could find
the political forces Of tho church-the
Democratic and Republican parties-in
open alliance on the field of battle and
could then and there wage the warfare,
they would not only be able in few
years TO rout the ecclesiastical cohorts,
but they could demonstrate to the peo-
pie Of the United States that there is
no such thing as politics with the
church except church politics, that
whether the dominant party is permit
ted to be Republican or permitted to be
Democratic in Utah and surrounding
country, the church is for the church
all the time.
Either way the hierarchs may decide
this question the American party will
make successful battle; but it would
the contest and insure an
earlier result if the church could nave
its present wish and If its political
quorums would unite themselves in one
body under the command Of Apostle
Smoot

A DEMOCRATIC DANGER.

that the next Governor Of New York
Will be a Democrat, and the New York
World (Democratjc) says that the next
Governor Of New York will not be a
Democrat, And while this peculiar con-
trovcrsy wages Mr.. William Randolph
Hearst, who intends to be the next
Governor of New York, is not sure
whether the next Governor will be n
Democrat or not, because he has not
yet determined whether he himself will
run as n Democratic candidate or as an
IDdeDendent, against q Democratic can
dldate. Tammany, which has been war

favor him; and he may accept It's over

THE GREAT DISCUSSION.

| The Tribune has thrown it's columns
open for the great discussion which is
on, ''Shall tho Agricultural College be
| consolidated with the State Univer.
sity?' We hope that all who have
| opinions TO express on this subject will
send them to us, over their own sigma
| lures, and expressed in concise terms,
| the shorter the better, but preferably
no one discussion TO occupy more than
a column and half. The most eff
fective arguments, no doubt, will be
Of much less length.
Yesterday morning we gave on the
editorial page, the views of Judge j.
F. Booth Of Provo. in favor Of consoli-
dation. This morning we give the Hon.
d. o. Rideout OF Draper on the same
side Both are good examples of what
discussion should be-apt, forceful
decided in expression, brief, and oourte-
ous in tone.
We have invited President Kerr Of
the Agricultural College 10 use The
Tribune columns for the presentation
of his views and have his assurance
of acceptance. And we invite the col.
lege champions to reply TO such articles
as appear in our columns in favor of
the University (Which we hope will be
many and as well put as the two we
refer TO above), always keeping in mind
the temperate calm of mind which alone
can be effective in this discussion.
The advantage of having all the
main arguments in this great discus
sion presented through this one chan
mel are obvious, and The Tribune will
be bospitable to all corners who come
with desire to add something to the
discussion. Vituperation and abuse,
personal or sectional wrangles, of course
public dsbate.
This discussion will certainly be in
stantly and voluminously prccipits-
ted in case Governor Cutler should be
so unwise IA to call an extra session
of tho Legislature. 1nasmuch as the
of the commission which in.
vestigated the duplication of studies in
the two institutions have not been
printed in full, and so far as we know
no provision having been made for
printing theme for general circulation
the State; and as the peo-
pie cannot he expected to know pre-
cisely what these reports are until they
are printed in full; and since the ques
lion ostensibly to be determined by
hat extra session does not IN any re-
'pect come within the constitutional
grant OF power to the Governor TO call
an extra session of the Legislature in
'ase of an extraordinary OCCASION
,or this question of consolidation has
been chronic for years, the calling Of
he Legislature together, if done, will |
lot in fact be to settle this old con
ention, but for somebody's personal
md Interior purpose, not yet disclosed. |
