campaign in behalf of a pro- Mormon

hood IN having printed 8 special dis.

The hiplsy character Of the charge

upon the part of The Tribune is
evinccd by its admission as follows:

that kind. but i, is iar mere likely thst the
nan who wrote the story originated the

According to the Statesman the Incl.

the telegraphic files the report was lc
ultimately received at The Tribune;
AID therefore there IS nothing more to
be said in answer to the Statesman ;

A POINTED COMPARISON.

Judge Morse ruled in the Homer
case that the Mormon Councilmen who
voted the robbiug franchise to the Utah
Light and Railway company last year,
did so illegally, as they were so di-
rectly interested IN that company as to
bias their action. This direct and per-
soual interest arises from their mem
bership in the Mormon church, which
| among other things, ia voluptary as.
sociation for commercial purposes, and
the members of the church are In effect
parties in the ownership of the stock
belonging TO the church; therefore, the
vote of these copsrtners in passing this
franchise, which was virtually a grant
TO themselves, was wrong and the grant
OF that franchise is void.
This is good doctrine, good sense, and
COOL law. 1t would necessarily follow
from IL. that any other member of the
Mormon church in ike o9ca, would be
subject TO the same rule, for the princi
pie is general and not exclusive as to
those especially named Councilmen. It
follows, further that by reason OF their
direct and personal interest in the Nor.
mon church investments and CONNER"
cial enterprises, which invalidates their
official vote IN the case at bar, these
Councilnien, or either of them, would
be entitled TO sue for au accounting for
the church funds by those who handle
them. But. as the principle involved
is not confined to these officials or iu-
dividuals, but is of general application,
any member of the Mormon church
would he entitled TO bring a suit de-
mauding such accounting. For, 1t
could hardly be said that an official, or
person whose official vote is void by
reason Of his direct interest in q corpo.
ration, has not sufficient interest IN it
10 demand an accounting.
This reasoning, therefore, points the
way TO the sort of complaint which
Judge Morse would hold valid in
case brought by a Mormon to compel
an accounting for the church funds.
Thus far, he has been able to hold
against the applicants ~ the Smurth.
waite.Musser suit. But hs would not
hold against a suit for such accounting
brought by either of the Couueilmep
whose vote on this franchise is voided;
or against a suit brought By any other
member of the church along the lines
indicated, The way to force 10 his
court such an accounting has been
marked out with reasonable plaianess
by Judge Morse in the Homer ruling.

MOUNT or THE HOLY CROSS.

MOUNT or THE HOLY CROSS.
Chicago Record Herald.
II has been persistcntly lumored for
several years past that the famous
Mount Of the Holy Cross in Colorado
had been robbed Of its distinction
because Of rock slide which
was supposed to have destroyed
one of the arms OF the cross,
or rather filed up one of the
transverse eanyone which had served
as part of the holy symbol. It was
the snow which winter and summer
filed these canyons that formed the i'm
mense white cross on the side of the
mountain. Naturally a great deal OF
regret was caused by the rumor of the
since it was first seen by white men
has been regarded as one of the great
est natural wonders Of America. In
order TO find out whether the story
was true or not the Denver aud Rio
Grande Railroad company recently sent
photographers with their cameras into
the wild regions Of the mountain. Al
ter much hard travelling through an
Unhroken wilderness the men reached
Notch Mountain, directly opposite the
Mount Of the Holy Cross, and from the
first point of view they were led to be
lieve that ono of the arms OF the cross
had actually been destroyed. AS they
journeyed upward, however, thin line
of snow began TO make its appearance
at the place where il was needed to
form the missing section Finally they
reached point from which they eould
see that the cross remained as perfect
and beautiful as ever. 4 comparison OF
the new photographs with the first
ones that were ever made of the Mount
of the Holy Cross shows that the spots
of snow and the masses of rock are
exactly as they were thirty.three years
