Louisville Times.
That prophet is not without Ger.

save in his own country, has been
proved again at the hands of a young
Louisville person.
The young man in question reads

Recently he was extolling to friend
the virtues of Mr. Jerome Of New York.
The friend did not fully agree as to
the extent of N[r, Jerome S powers, but

THE BINGHAM MEETING.

The meeting held at Bingham on Sat
urday night was certainly one of the
very best that has ever been held by
tho American party. 1t is bound to
have an important influence on the
present campaign.
Mr.. Weir, the American candidate
for Congress, stated the case exactly
with the force and vigor that is usual
with him. He said that the American
party was organized to give notice to
the hierarchy of this State that we
propose to control our own political
affairs and had quit going to Brigham
street for consent as TO who should go
TO the Senate or the House; and he
made the distinction very clear that the
American party is not an antiMormon
party "unless the hierarchy absolutely
represent the Mormon people; then the
American party is anti-Mormon. All
that the American party asked was that
the hierarchy keep their hands off
things that are political IN this State,
and things that are commercial, and at.
tend to the business Of the church, and
not shoot voters from one party to an
other y
Mr. Spaulding stated the labor situa-
tion with great clearness and force,
aud showed that the Labor party was
unoonsciously, but IN fact, playing into
the hands Of its greatest enemy, the
Mormon organization and church.
Messrs Pitt and Charon followed with
pithy remarks, ard Judge Weber gave
one of his finest talks, clearly showing
the church interference and influence,
and recognizing the force of President
Smith s declaration that there is no
such thing as Smootism, and showing
this as merely itself a "Smithism.
PenToseism is the same as Utah Re-
ppblicanism, and Utah Republicarism is
twin brother TO Utah Democracy"
said Mr.. Weber, with exact truth and
striking force.
Mr.. Dalton made the set oration of
the evening, showing clearly that the
same great enemy that antagonizes
labor in this State antagonizes also the
Socialist propaganda; and until the
church power can be eliminated from
politics there is no practical use in IN
dertaking TO push any other political
issues or propositions IN Utah.
1t was meeting where the hearers
were intelligent, wideawake and ap-
preciative Of al the things that were
said, and these were presented clearly
aud with force. The issue is sharply
drawn, and we do not for a moment
doubt that the great camp will re-
spond nobly in Independent American
spirit, with a rousing vote.

EASTERN NEVADA MINES.

The Tribune had yesterday a full
write-up Of the Cherry Creek and Duck
Greek mines, with fifteen illustrations,
all occupying a page and a half, On
Sunday, September 30th, we gave. a
three-page write-up of Ely and its
neighborhood, including an account of
the great railroad day opening, with
the ceremonies attending, and the
excursion from Utah points, in which
such 8 large number of business men
took part, all being completely captured
by the evidences of immense riches
there, both present and prospective.
The Tribune is glad 20 present to its
readers these great write-ups of that
wonderfully favored region. We are
convinced that there is there the max.
ing of more than one Butte and Ana
conda. The ore deposits are immensely
large; they have been prospected sufd-
ciently to demonstrate their perma
nence, and they cover such an extensive
surface that the mind is lost IN the
effort to reckon the tonnage Of ores
that can reasonably be expected, and
all of it workable at q good profit. That
is undoubtedly the Immediately coming
camp, and its coming is not to be de-
layed; it is coming with rusn.

COL. HAYES S LETTER.

Col A. 3. Hayes, formerly prom
inent Liberal in Utah, and District At
torney Of the Ogden Judicial district,
a~poiuted on the recommendation of
Senator Kearns to be Solicitor for the
Internal Revenue Bureau of the Treas
ury, has written a very cordial letter
In support of the reelection Of Repre-
sentative Howell We will be char
liable enough 10 assume that this let
ter YVES entirely voluntary, and that
Col Hayes wrote it from his heart.
At the same time, we do not see why
he should have written any letter what
ever with respect TO Mr.. Howell, and
even less do we see what his letter has
10 do with the case. Mr.. Howell Is
never a Republican, but a church tool;
he is rot running as a party man, but
as Smootite; he knows nothing and
cares less about Republican principles,
aud TO speak of him as a Republican
candidate is an immediate and roaring
farce.
Colonel Hayes dwells upon the i'm
portance from National point of view
Of the reelection OF Elder Howell
From the far-off standpoint Of Wash
iugton his letter would appear TO have
some little pertineDce to the issue: but
the nearer one gets to Utah the less
the pertlncuce appears, until lac gets
right here, and hnds the National view
Of the case obscured by the fogs and
nlists OF Smootism and the subservience
of Elder Howell and his hackers to the
Smoot ecclesiastical machine. It is of
far more importance TO the people of
Utah TO free themselves from the
clutches of hierarchic domination than
it Is TO listen to the shadowy pleadings
for the support of President Roosevelt,
or Republican or Democratic National
policies.
The solid interests of Republicanism
or Of Democracy III this Western re-
gion, the permanent health of either
party, depends on striking down smoot-
ism and all for which it stands. If

WESTERN PACIFIC PROGRESS.

Though much hampered by scarcity
Of labor, the Western Pacific is making
excellent progress westward from this
city. The rails are laid for seventy
miles toward the Nevada lire, and the
grading has been done for some miles
beyond the end of the track. The
weather IS now favorable for work
on the desert strip, and considerable
grading has been done on the line to
cross il. The estimate IS that ths
desert part will be completed and the
track laid to the State lire by the
first day Of next January. 1t will then
be in order to look with confidence
upon the completion of this line to
the track of the Nevada Northern early
next Spring, which will afford US g
reasonably direct line to Ely.
The Importance OF this Western Pa
ci6c line both locally and in the general
sense Of its being a mighty link in

often lost sight of by the public Lo,

By building to Salt Lake, they would

So, the Importance of this Western
Pacific road to Salt Lake cannot easily
be overestimated. II is the great thing

I will go you.'' When the betting was
over and the hands showed down, the
German had four kings and his oppo-
nent had four aces The German g eyes
bulged out and he cried out in desper-
alton: "Vot is dot queen got TO do
wild dot hand?" IT had just as much
to do with that hand as the Hayes let
ter has TO do with present issues in
Utah.
The independent voters of Utah are
determined to throw off church dopli-
nance; Smootism must go; aud Howell,
as a cog of a wheel in the Smoot ma
chine, must go with it. There is no
safety. no partisan health in Utah for
any National party until the church
Smoot machine is smashed.
President Joseph F. Smith says there
is no such thing as Smootism, and that
the man who attacks it attacks the
Mormon church. Which means that
President Smith is putting up the last
barrier against the overwhelming wave
of Americauism and the sentiment of
1lSliIo IudO 10 lOillIE
up to engulf and cleanse Utah politics;
the strongest barrier that he knows Of,
and one that has always been etfectusl
heretofore-the barrier OF ecclesia sti-
cism and the dominant rule of the Nor
mon church. He will find, however, for
the first time, that this barrier is not
sufficient; it will first be overlooked
and then swept away. If President
Smith is determined TO put the church
IN this perilous position, he will ind
that after the flood has gone by the
church will have to be yeorganized and
put on a different basis, one which will
conhne it strictly to church affairs, and
keep 1t out of politics, out of commerce,
and entirely out Of all meddlesomeuess
toward men in their temporal affairs.
The issue is plain and clear. 1t has
nothing to do with National politics
except in the great American sense

shall prevail in every nook and corner

ELECTRICITY FOR TRUNK LINES.
New York TribuDe.
A correspondent of Engineering
News is enthusiastic over certain pos
sibilities in California which he thinks
are not yet appreciated by the owners
OF trunk line railways there, He be-
ieyes that it would pay TO operate por
tions of these roads by power derived
from the outlets Of certain lakes in that
State, Tahoe among them In one of
several instances which he has in mind
twenty thousand horsepower might be
secured FOR the purpose. The sugges-
tlon Is novel IN some ways, and is APP
pllcable TO more than one of the States
in the far West, where the mountain
Gus character of the country gives to
the streams particularly steep des-
cent, and thus increases their CONNER
clal value,
In discussing the advisability of sub
stituting electricity for steam, prscti-
cal railroad men have come to distir-
guish among three kinds of service,
They realize that the change might
prove profitable in one case and not IN
another. 1t Is conceded that electric
traction will prove remunerative where
trains are run at short intervals and
the traffic is heavy. These conditions
prevail in the neighborhood Of large
city, but there is a difference between
supplying the wants of a suburban
constituency and carrying relatively
small number of passengers for long
distances. The economy of handling the
latter class of traffic or transporting
freight on a large scale is far from
obvious. The advocates of its use for
anything but the class of service first
mentioned therefore receives much en-
couragement nowadays. There may be
exceptional circumstances under which
existing doubts about the e2spedieney of
modifying the present practice would
not be fully justified. Coal is excep-
tionally expensive in those parts Of the
country which obtain it only from a
distance. In a few localities it is not
unlikely that hydraulic power convert
ed into electricity, would be cheaper
than steam. In such places the rec:
concentrations Of the correspondent Of
Engineering News" may some day be
carried into effect

PINE TREES MADE INTO SILK.

This is one of the many modern prod.

ties for the manuTacturer. For in
stance, he writes: "a pine tree is
worth SO ton; cut and stripped it

which turned into viscose and spun into
silk is worth $500 -
