THE NEWS Is FIERCE" !"

The Dcseret News announces that It's
editor "eXpected that some
fierce and furious, but unrenecting
union men would construe [itsl critI-
cisms of anarchistic threats into some
thing unfavorable toward unIonism."
Neither fierce nor mild neither
thoughtful nor "unreflecting" union
men need 10 even read the criticisms of
anarohistic or any other kind OF utter
ance OF the Deserct News, to know that
the church organ and the power which
ii represents are both unfriendly not
only to unlonism, but to the cause of
labor generally,
1t Is not a question with the News
whether an individual or official Of a
union has committed any infraction of
the law; the objection of the News to
unions is basic. The attitude of the
church on this subject is akin to it's
attitude concerning corporations among
its people which It does not control;
concerning fraterGal orders which IT
does not direct, concerning education
which II does not dominate The union
man would be "unreflecting" indeed,
who did not comprehend the cause Of
antagonlsm by the Deseret News 1t
represents church which desires TO
exercise It's absolutism without any
modification and the Independent aC-
tivity, the union membership. the fra
ternal order Of associations of It's peo-
pie would in large degree detract from
the churchs unquestloned supremacy
over them
The News attacked a so-called anar-
chistic utterance-the News, which Is
the chief journalistic anarchist of the
United States. In doing so 1t said many
things which are offensive TO libor
union sentiment. Now II proposes TO
mitigate the judgment Of union sym
pathizcrs by expressing a kind of eva
sive approval OF unions, and yet 1t pois-
ons It's pretended sentiment by speak
ing of the fierceness and "unreAccting"
character of its union critics
In neither of Its attitudes-that OF
critic of anarchy or false sympathIzer
with union labor-does the Deseret
News shine. In the one case 1t is al
most a monopolist Of the thing 1t repre-
hends, and In the other 1t Is known as
the chief enemy of organized labor in
the intermountain country.

Mr.. Richardson. Secretary of the Brit

The nations of the world have shown

Hague than they did before It In fact.
the most important war Of modern
times was Just closed last year We
reckon this to be the Russo-Japa
war, more important than any since our
own Civil war. 1t was OF greater world
wide consequence than the war between
Germany and Austria or the war be-
tween Germany and France. since 1t
puts a stop 10 Russian aggression on
the Asian shore of the Pacific, and af-
fects the alliances OF the nations far
more than did either Of the European
wars mentioned.
Our own country has had Its war ex-
periences, also since The Hague con-
ference, lighting a war Of aggression
with the Filipinos. And we have become
a powerful factor in the conferences OF
the nations; our standing army has
been enlarged and our navy, third in
the list of the naYies OF the world, Is
practically a new creation
In fact there has been no letting
down In the armies of the world, but
some nations which had no great mill
tary establishments have since devel-
oped formidable ones. as Japan, and
others which did not dream of greatness
in war are now preparing 10 arm and
drill great armies, as China, which al
ready has a formidable start, and
which may yet equip the greatest mill
tary forces that the world has ever
seen.
The nations have all entered upon
tremendous expansions of their navies
since The Hague Peace conference. One
begins It, and another follows suit, be-
cause If your neighbor mounts guns.
you must match him IL you can; other
wise he has your ships and guns at his
mercy; 1t Is better to have no navy at

AS 1T OUGHT TO BE.

Generally speaking this is an unfor-
tunate season for the dynamitards; and
surely tho chief one among them
should not escape. If the Grand Old
Republican party Will just wake up
and throw back at Apostle Reed Smoot
the lighted bomb with which he eX-
poets TO destroy It there will be a Bang
at church headquarters; and If the dis
tinguished gentleman, who in behalf OF
American progress Yields the big stick,
shall conclude to administer a deserved
punishment there will be a Biff on the
top of the apostles head. Bang -biff
and Bilf-bang are words descriptive of
the proper action of National Repubn-
canism toward Reed Smoot. He has
destroyed the work of a thousand men
who lsbored to upbuild the organiZa-
ton. Not all the partisan opposition
to Repuhlicanism in the States of Utah
and Idaho and surrounding region has
been at once as destructive and as dis
creditable to Republicanism as has
been the trafflcking method and the
party prostitution by Apostle Reed
Smoot. the ecclesiastical boss of the
church-ridden party

PARALYzING ECCLEsIAsTICIsM.

That was a moderately satisfactory
report which President Smith (of the
Mormon church and of the Utah Light
and Railway company made TO the
stockholders at the annual meeting
held In this city on Wednesday. The
gross earnings were 1888, ,362.10. the
operating expenses and general main
tenance cost sS45. 1891 leaving a sur
plus of s5O7, ,63219. This surplus went TO

and taxes, and $13. .36990 loss and

would put 1t at sl17, 1862.
This net money was applied to the
redemption of notes. $50, 900. TO a "con-

amounting to $4,000. and to the depre-

THE REAL PERSECUTION.

A sufficient demonstration that a wo-
man may possess logical balance of
mind is found In the article which ap-
pears In this mornings Tribune, under
the title No Religious Test" written
rs a part Of the Washington letter of
Margaret Dye Ellis to the Union Signal
The gifted correspondent Is the repre-
sentative to Legislatures of the w C.
7. U, and has made a careful study Of
the Smoot question in her own behalf
and In that OF the oTgani2at ton with
which she Is affiliated.
Could a palmer statement of the facts
be presented? While the Deseret News
and its feeble echoes are crying that
the spirit of falschood and persecution
permeates the opposition to Apostle
Smoot and the hierarchy, a noble wo-
man, who has studied the question, pre-
sents her conclusions without one word
OF abuse and with an accuracy OF reel
tai of fact and deserved conclusion
equal to the judicial utterances of the
bench.

No Religious Test

1t is evident that the Mormon cle-
ment is seeking delay In the Smoot
hearing. At the closing of the test-
mony on our side, 1t was rumored that
Senator Smoot would have ready 200
witnesses to controYert the testimony
taken; but Chairman Burrows caused
1t to be we'll understood that this would
not be allowed. and that If list of Wit
nesses was not forthcoming. the case
would be settled without further testi-
mony. This decision undoubtedly VIII
hasten the settlement of the case and
Senator Smoot will be obliged to follow
the admonltion OF Chairman Burrows,
who has shown unVarylng Justice and
tolerance concerning the Senator's relig-
ious views. 1T is q mistake for anyone
TO hold the opinion that the religious
convictions and beliefs OF Senator
Smoot have entered into this PROPOSE
ton, or that persecution has been
mingled with the desire to obtain the
truth concerning his eligibility TO fill
the high position he now occupies. AS
is we'll known, according TO the Federal
Constitution any person may worship
as he chooses while under the folds and
protection OF the American flag. so
long as the teachings OF that religion
are not contrary to the principles of
our Government.
But the law of State and Nation Is
openly deled by the president. the
apostles and the leaders of the Mormon
church. that which In any other State
Is recognized as a State prison oifensc
Is not only allowed, but openly prac-
tlced and Endorsed; Apostle Smoot. since
becoming q Senator OF the United
States, has openly declared his un
waverlng and continued confidence and
Endorsement of President Joseph F.
Smith, who testified to be now living
with five wives. all of whom have borne
him children since the issuing of the
manifesto; reputable witnesses under
oath have testified again and again that
every official in the Mormon church
(and they are legion) is compelled to
take an oath 10 avengc the death of the
prophet, Joseph Smith, against this Ma
tlon, and 10 teach this act Of treason 10
his children and children's children.
With all these facts before them, all
right thinking persons must surely be
leve that man holding the position OF
apostle In the Mormon church cannot
at the same time be member of the
highest legislative body of our Govern
ment,-MarGarct Dye Ellis I'm Union

THE POLITICAL JoBBERS.

/ The Morris administration drew the
plans and specifications for the Big Cot
tonwood conduit in so hasty. miserable.
and reckless a manner that 1t is i'd
mitted that two million gallons of
water would leak from It between the
| points OF intake and discharge. provided
there were water to run through It. And
| the defenders Of that atrocious Job and
hurry-up political scheme object to the
correction of the blunders, and howl
Job" Graft" Steal when II Is
proposed to make the conduit water
tight strengthen II so that 1t Will ade-
quately resist the pressure from within
and without, and protect IT from the
weather
But 1t may be objected. why do the
work at all If there is no water assured
to send through the conduit? Simply
because the contract to build It was let
by the Norris administration. and that
contract is binding upon the city. 1t
was putting the cart before the horse
to do that. but It was done: done In
defiance of public remonstrance and re-
peated pointing out, not only the incon-
sruIty of doing 1t at all without first
securing water. but OF the imperfec-
tions Of the plans and specifications un-
der which the work was to proceed
Again the question of voting bonds
for the added water supply was coupled
with the proposition to vote bonds also
for q sewer In the southern and south
western portions OF the city. A million
dollars in bonds was the aggregate
voted on. but this was separated into
two propositions. and the vote was that
$3.50 900 of the total was to he for the
water supply. and $3.50 900 for the sewer.
That was tho form in which the vote
was taken. and In which the bonds
were authorized by the taxpayers.
But no sooner did the Morris Council
reach consideration OF the sewer part
of the proposition than II expanded the
amount to be spent upon the sewer by
more than one third It's contracts on
this account called for upwards Of 5000
900. 1t is now found that even In this
excess estimate, number Of absolute
ly essential things were entirely over
looked, as steel work. pumps, and mo-
tors. So that even the nifty thousand
dollars added to this work by the Coun-
Gil, above what the taxpayers author
lied, may have to be doubled. What
sort of preliminary estimates were they,
which required such expansion?
And what a bitter condemnation 1t
all is of the inefnciency. the reckless in
competence. the indecent haste to get
results for election purposes. the In
trigues, and the wild Jobbery of the
Morris administration,
