DISCRIMINATING MERCY.

The Deseret News grows Dlaintive.
editorially, because the entirety Of It's
articles are not reprinted by unGriend-
ly commentators. The Tribune has no
desire to disguise the fact that the
Deseret News points its finger strongly
In this direction. OF late The Tribunes s
practice has been only TO quote so
much OF any one editorial from the
Deseret News as. in our judgment, our
readers can endure to peruse and as
VIII demonstrate any particular point
I'm the great controversy now waging
In this State to an ultimate.
1t was not always so, as readers with
good memory will recall. The Tribune
was wont to give much space to the
editorial twaddle of the Deserct News
in order that all people might know
the method of argument Cor lack of
both method and argumenD prevailing
In the Office OF the church organ.
The task grew wearlsome and, in ad-
dition. the Deseret News always failed
to reciprocate, preferring to answer
som etnlnS tnat Inc tribune uld not
say rather than to allow It's readers to
know what were the particular charges
made and proved against the hierarchy
and the apostolically edited church
journal
However, there has been scrupulous
care by The Tribune not to attribute
any utterance to the DeSeret News
which was not in accord with the
facts. Heaven knows that there was
not any necessity for eXaggeration; the
very worst that The Tribune can say
of the paper, the News says of Itself.
No other human creature Is so de-
graded as to originate against that pa
per, It's editor and its controller. the
things that they prove against them
selves by their utterances and their ac-
tions. The News should be grateful
Instead OF angry. The less that The
Tribune quotes from the church organ
the less condemnation is passed upon
the News by public Judgment

A POLITICAL INTRIGUE.

The publication, by The Tribune, Of
the rumor that Major Richard w.
Young Is to be the next apostle. has
aroused an ecclesiastical hornets nest.
1t appears from the report which
reached The Tribune, that the HE
rarChy are extremely anxious TO select
some one whose membership In the
quorum win not be antagonistic to the
public judgment of the United States.
They feel that something must be done
to atone for the induction of Penrose
into the apostleship; and then. too, they
desire to choose a man whose name has
not been suggested by or thought of
dignation expressed by the friends OF
President Ben e. Rich that when his
chances seemed brightest the sky was
overloaded by what his friends say
was premature announcement In The
Tribune. But for that, they feel that
Joseph F, Smith would have named him
to the existing vacancy. Similarly the
Eighteenth ward crowd. which Congre-
gates Itself around Major Richard w
Young. considers that his chances have
been greatly decreased by the publicity
which has been given TO his name in
this connection.
What would you? Must The Tribune
withhold information from the publlc2 ?
Must we first ascertain the will OF the
hierarch concerning his favortes be-
fore using their names In this great
contest for ecclesiastical eminence?
1t is no longer a matter of sanctih-
cation, 1t is purely a game of log
rolling, with the Smith log Gf there
happens to be a Smith log handy al
ways at an advantage on the course
Just now, with no available Smith, the
contest is hopefully open TO others, and
the public are profoundly interested In
knowing who is going to win in this in
trigue which processes to select an
apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ by
the voice of God. but really selects
him as q matter OF church politics to
subserve the particular end that the
chief hierarch has in view

Battle With Moros

1t is difficult to spare a foe when that
foe is firmly resolved not to accept
mercy A war with such an enemy Is
inevitably cruel and rather than years
of sporadic conflict, with hideous un-
namable, unthinkable tortures prac-
tsed by the Moro on his captives, in
Guiding tender women and helpless
children, 1t is more merc!ful to have
one reeking roundup We can hardly
doubt the fact. whatever may be true
OF the Christian Filipinos that the Mo-

PHILLIPS BROOKS'S SILENCE.
Chicago Chronicle.
Bishop Brooks of Boston occasionally
used to surprise those not intimately
acquainted with him by sitting silently
while conversation was going on
around him briskly. The bishop eX-
planned lbs rather unwonted taciturnity
by rellting that on one occasion while
seated in a railroad train opposite an
mtelligent-looking man the latter
seemed about to say something.
Il beg your pardon" said the bish-
op, were You about TO make a re-
mark?"
No" was the reply
"Oh, I thought you looked as If you
were going TO say something to me,
answered the bishop aDoloGetically.
Yes, l am said 10 be very deceptive
that way. ] used to say things and
make remarks as soon as / thought
them. l have often thought 1 had
something To say and discovered after
I had said Ii that 1 ought to have kept
silent"
And the bishop would conclude his
story by saying: II have found myself

Serious Intimations IN the Smoot Case

will In time become known. IL IT should
appear that the moral character Of the
Nation has been sacrificed for party ad-
vantage, the days OF the party guilty
OF such an act OF dishonor VIII be num-
bcred.
There has not been before the Ameri-
can people since the decision In the
bred Scott case an issue In which so
much that affects the moral welfare OF
the Nation has been involved. The Nor
mon church has broken the compact
made by IL with the Nation when Utah
became State. While not personally
guilty of polygamy, as an official OF
the Mormon church Mr.. Smoot con-
nives at the breach of the compact with
the Nation by Joseph F. Smith, presi-
dent of the Mormon church, and other
officials No Mormon who holds an OF
fetal position In that church should be
permitted to hold public office while
leaders or members Of the church defy
the law which they aolemnly pledged
their sacred honor to obey.
Mr Reed Smoot should be excluded
from the Senate. and Congress should
at an early date submit to the people
an amendment to the Federal Constt-
tuition prohibiting polygamous mar
riages and polygamous practices,

Undeniably the task Is hard one. the
duty Is irksome, the circumstances
odious. But these arc not adequate rea-
