THE STORY.

ID Ajax, king IF the Moabites, was
ID in sore trouble. For days and
nights now he had neither eaten nor
slept, for not one but scores of mes
sengers had come in haste to his pal
ace during the past month with alarm
ing stories of a strange and terrible
people who had come out of Egypt
and were sweeping the inhabitants OF
the land before them.
At first he had received the reports
with disdain, declaring that the
mighty men Of Moab were able to
withstand such enemies, but as the
reports grew more alarming and he
had been informed fully as to the
fearful destruction of the Amorites, a
fierce and powerful people to the
south of his domain, his confidence
had quite deserted him. In his anx-
iety he had gone out to one of the
high mountains overlooking the place
where Israel lay encamped, and as his
eyes took in the great stretch of tents
and noted the military precision and
order with which the camp was laid
out, he found little to reassure him.
THAT is their tabernacle" replied
an attendant in response to his query
as he pointed to the square-shaped
tent in the center of the camp. 'And
it is there their God is said to have
His dwelling place, and that cloud
which you see lowering above the
tabernacle is the visible presence OF
their God. The people through whose
country they have passed told me that
it is this cloud which has led them all
the way from Egypt, and has given
them victory over their enemies"
How strange and mysterious it
seems" responded the king, as
superstitious SILVER passed over him.
1T looks almost like thing of life
as it sways there above the taber-
nacle."
Fascinated, seemingly, by the sight,
the king long stood there watching
The sun sank to rest and the darkness
settled down in the valley and then
crept up the mountain towards where
they stood.
"See!" he cried, excitedly, ut CLOVIS
now as though the great sun has gone
to rest in its bosom. Surely we can
not hope to prevail against people
whose God visits them in such might
and power. What shall we do? What
shall we do?"
And the king in his distress and
fear wrung his hands, and paced up
and down, the while keeping his eyes
upon the cleaning pillar in the dis
ance. 1t was the only thing now Wis
ible in the valley below. save the faint

Mr.. A. w. Pinero has an unusual
method of writing his plays. His
work day does not begin until that of
the average city man is over. In the
morning he goes out, preferably on
his bicycle, returning in time for early
dinner. Then he has comfortable
sleep, and on waking up, late in the
afternoon, he prepares for business.
After cup of tea he goes to his desk

OUTSIDE COMMENT,

An intensely interesting problem is
presented for the consideration of fair
minded people by an article concern
ing certain noted case which appears
in the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate of the tenth of October, and is
reprinted in The Tribune of today
under the title "Peculiar Proceed
ings.'
That interesting problem may be
thus stated with its premises and its
questions;
All Of the Mormon church publica-
tiors and preachers. all of the lectur-
ers Of the Smoot bureau, all of the po-
litical allies OF the hierarchy, unite
in the declaration that Utah is being
seriously injured in the estimation Of
mankind. These aggregated forces in

Saving THEIR HONOR

An Idaho Mormon paper says that
"Mormons must, to save their honor,
vote the Republican ticket
That expression evidently means all
Mormons, and hence the inquiry
arises: "In> what way are Mormons
pledged by their honor to vote the Re-
publican ticketl II man be a Demo
crat in Idaho and at the same time be
a member of the Mormon church what
kind of honor is 1T that he saves by
voting the Republican tlcket7 Is it
not a continued sacrifice Of honor upon
the altar Of church direction9 Is it
not repetition of the conduct which
once disfranchised the Mormons of
Idaho and now proposes the imposition
of the constitutional test oath provi-
sion7n
1t is not sufficient to answer that as
the Republicans do not propose 10 full
ell the constitution and the Demo
Gratis insist that ii shall be obeyed, the
honor of Mormons is involved in vot-
ing the Republican ticket; for that is
at once a confession of dishonor and
an appeal for dishonorable help by and
TO Mormons. Mormons en- masse every
where were glad TO accept the Idaho
constitution and TO make pledges in
accordance with It's terms in order to
secure an enabling act for Utah. And
it would seem to a plain American citi-
zen that any attempt to evade the pro,
| visions now and any attempt to poll
tically punish party which stands
for the fnlfllment Of those constitu
tional provisions is disgraceful in the
extreme, and that the voter who thus
evades and thus resorts is not saving
| his honor, but losing II.

THE DEBAsED OPPOSITION.

The opposition press is wholly indie
cent in its treatment OF the Sheets case.
That case IS under investigation by
District Judge as examining magistrate,
and he is taking testimony 10 asccr-
tain whether there is probs BILE cause 10
hold Chief Sheets for trial. And
vet, the opposition press is in a frenzy
OF assumed indignation against Sheets;
it convicts him out Of hand. and twists
everything against him not only, but
falsely buttresses up the testimony OF
the accusers where it is conspicuously
weak That press not only does this
ferociousIy and Indignantly sweeping
away all legal barriers, treating the
court contemptuously by using it mere
ly as a peg TO hang its malignity upon,
but utterly repudiates the rule that an
accused person is entitled to fair treat
ment and the benefit of reasonable
doubt, resolving every proposition in
regard TO any doubt invariably and
fiercely against Sheets. It is as though
the press accusers should say to him,
owe charge these things against you;
how dare you deny them?'
The scandalous nature Of the political
conspiracy sprung against Sheets in
the hope of besmirching the American
party is fully matched by the insolent
and unspeakably vile course of the con
spirators press in their report of the
examination This course of that press
is so conspicuously base that 1t is caus-
ing already revolt in the public mind,
and the question is asked, whether that
vicious press can be permitted for long
TO mlsrepresent and falsify court pro-
cedure and wrong An accused day by
day in the shameful manner which is
done, The very fact that this opposi-
ton press wishes to thus misreport this
case, thwart the cause of justice, and
bias the public mind, is conclusive proof
that there is a sinister (and that poll
ticaD motive back of the dirty work.

PREPARATION TO UTAH.

We are glad to note that there is
prospect of the election of Mr.. John
Dern, OF this city. to be president of
the American Mining Congress, which
is holding its sessions in Denver. Mr.,
Dern is eminently qualified by his at
tainments, his practical mining expert
ence, and his natural ability, to be the
head Of the Mining Congress. We
hope that he may be elected.
If he is, he can no doubt credit The
Tribune with his election A disposi-
tion to placate Utah is manifest in
Denver 1t is recognized that the
Tribune s criticisms showing the un-
fair treatment which has been accorded
this State and its mining men are just.
Utah had been ruled out of all the
committees, and had been ignored in
every respect, save only that Mr.. Dern,
who was previously elected a director,
was not put off the directorate.
If the Congress would now elect Mr.,
Dern its president, and appoint its
next annual meeting to be held in this
city, that would be some reparation

EVENTS MAKE PROOF.

Americans are being asked by Smoot
Republicans to vote for the Honorable
Joseph Howell for Congressman The
invitation is extended upon the pre-.
sented ground that Americans can not
possibly elect the Honorable Thomas
Wier to Congress.
But one reply TO this assumption and
prayer is worthy of utterance or atten'
ton: These same Smoot Republicans
told Americans that they could not
possibly win Salt Lake City over to
Americanism. The American party has
won the city in spite of that declara
tion. Smoot Republicans and Smoo,
Democrats now know that Americans
will be victorious in Salt Lake county
And all know that the reason for thi:
is that Americans have never taken
any notice of what their opponent:
deemed TO be either possible or impos
sible for them. They have simply de
termined that Americanism should tri
umph in Utah: and that determine ON

Peculiar Proceedings

Northwestern Christian Advocate.
The president Of the Mormon church,
Joseph +. Smith, was arrested and
bound over TO the District court Octo-
Der |, on the charge of living uulaw-
fully with FIVE wives. The complaint
was sworn 20 by a Mormon deputy
Sheriff. the warrant was served by order
of a Mormon Sheriff, and the commit
ting magistrate is also n Mormon.
President Smith was arraigned imme-
diatcly after his arrest and waived pre-
liminary hearing. After being bound
over he was released on his own recog-
nizance. President Smith reached Salt
Lake City two days before his arrest
on his return from Europe. He then
learned that an attempt had been made
10 secure his arrest for a statutory
offense in connection with the birth Of
his forty third child. The complaint
was made by Mr. e. NJ Owens The
County Attorney refused to approve a
prosecution on this charge. The attor-
nev was then cited TO appear in court
and show cause why he should not be
compelled TO act In the matter. After
the hearing the court held that the at
torney was justified in refusing to
prosecute, because the complainant
offered no evidence that the mother Of
the child was not the wife of President
Smith. OF President Smith s guilt
there is no doubt. He admitted in his
testimony before the Senate committee
on the Smoot case that he was living
with four Tfve-Editor Tribune wives
in violation Of law. and that he had
broken his pledge to the Nation to
abandon polygamous practices.

LEAVE HOPE BEHIND.

The retirement of three Democrats
from the Legislative ticket OF their
party in this county may be readily
understood By those who will pause TO
consider the personal relations Of the
gentlemen, their familiarity with the
inside operations Of the church politi'
cal movement, and their, natural de-
sire to evade what to them would be
most humiliating defeat.
No one Of the three named has any
thing to gain by mere nomination to
Office OF this character-that empty
Therefore when it becomes apparent
that under no circumstances of barter
OF trade. transfer or Indulgence, in
strurtion or solicitation, are the
church politicians able to figure out
any possible victory in this county
for either one of the church politi-
cal quorums, certain men who sit
close TO the droppings of the sanctury
al the head Of State street take unto
themselves the wisdom of discretion,
and conclude that personal dignity
must be saved even at the cost Of
party prestige.
Inasmuch AS the Democratic organ
lends extraordinary Importance to one
of these retirements by publishing in
full the letter of the gentleman who
withdraws, and as the reasons assigned
are so peculiarly Characteristic of the
class in Utah 10 which that gentleman
belongs, special attention is paid to
the case of Hon. A. +, Hyde in an
other column. ........
In general it is fair to say OF
the Democratic situation here that
these Withdrawals amount TO an ac-
knowledgement Of defeat; to lose the
Legislative ticket-ambitious men, more
than willing TO be nominated and more
than desirous of being elected-is to
acknowledge that the Democratic
cause in Salt Lake county is worse
than forlorn hope; is merely hope
less struggle against fate itself. And
if this is true of Democracy in Salt
Lake county, as these designations
Justify the assumption, what must be
the desperate plight OF the Republican
party, which by the actual figures of
the recent elections is far below the
Democratic party in strength in these,
the center stakes of Zion2'
The designations from the Demo
cratic ticket cannot be viewed in any
other light than the result of an in
struction or a counsel to the individuals
from church headquarters. If these
Democrats, noted pets of the church,
were told TO get out of the way of an
impending calamity, who is there on
either OF the church political tickets
that has any right to hope3
Who remains upon either of the
church political tickets in Salt Lake
county, after the example set by three
favorites Of the hierarchy, must leave
hope behind
