CoVETING POWER.

II is asserted by the organ Of the
apostles of the Mormon church that
they ''do not covet the political con-
troll of Utah, or any other State. They
do not mix the affairs Of church and
State, and no credible testimony has
ever been adduced to prove the
charge"
Joseph F. Smith, who is the chief
apostle OF the Mormon god, testified
at Washington that Apostle Reed Smoot
was obliged to obtain the consent of the
president Of the church and that of
the apostles quorum before he could
become a candidate for the United
States Senatofship. Apostle Smoot also
testified at Washington that he and his
appointed henchmen built up political
machine in this State for the purpose
OF controlling the politics Of Utah
Reed Smoot is the political representa-
tive of his quorum and of Joseph F.
Smith, and through him the apostles
of the Mormon church operate in politi-
cal control here.
Previous to the last November cleo
tion in Idaho, Apostles John Henry
Smith and Charles w. Penrose (the
latter then the editor of the Deseret
News) went into that State for the sole
purpose of interfering in and control
ling politics there. They stump for
their alleged religion in one breath
and preach politics in the next; and yet
the News says they do not mix the
affairs of church and State
The apostles of the Mormon church
do covet political control, and the
Dcseret News knows it, and that or
gan of organized deceit, hypocrisy and
treason, is well aware that it is the
aim and the hope of all the hierarchs
to control the politics Of the whole

ONE MANS FATE.

Mr.. j. F. Gibbs, Independent Nor
service Of the Mormon church, ostra-
cised among his people, turned over
TO the buffeting of Satan, and con
demned TO eternal perdition. returns to
his open charge against the enemies
of freedom in Utah.
His letter appears in this issue of
The Tribune. on the fifth page,
in full. With supersensitive-
ness which often characterizes men
who fee from the darkening shadows
cast by the law~breaking hierarchy
over mankind in this community, he
tells Of his own life. without being
unduly indignant, ne is justified in re.
senting the assault upon the rights Of
all men, himself in particular. which
is being made by the ecclesiasts here,
and he avows himself the undertaking
friend of liberty and participator in
the contention of the American party.
But Mr. Gibbs, in charity for other
members of the Mormon church who
feel the CALLING chains of tyranny, goes
entirely too far in his advice to them
to remain in apparent quicscence in
order to save themselves from the dis,
tress which is being measured out to
him because Of his outspokenness. He
advises other Mormons to refrain from
Joining the American party, SO that
they will not thus provoke personal
attack from the church in their own
communities. 1t is better a thousand
times for them to wage open, and de-
termined warfare for freedom, what
ever the consequences may be, than
to remain serfs TO the usurpers of
their political rights.
Mr.. Gibbs is doing a great good,
however, In him is another demon
stration Of the fact that every man IN
Utah can be man and still live if
ne will, Notwithstanding the supersti-
tious belief which prevails among Nor
mons that he will be destroyed If he
oppose the "servants of the Lord. -
His courage will be sustained in the
thought that he dares to cast of the
shackles of a tyrannous church HE
rarchy. Happier far is the man who
rebels against wrong
than the man who knowingly submits
to 1t. He may suffer personally from
secret attack, and his family may be
goaded by the merciless prongs of So
cial ostracism, but they all abide iu
the consciousness Of the achievement
of freedom for themselves and the set
ting Of patriotic example for their
neighbors. The Joy OF fealty to Ameri-
can citizenship, the glory of patriotism
to country, the splendor of devotion 10
freedom are ample compensation for
the unholy persecution Of bigotry.
And Mr.. Gibbs and those who are
near and dear to him may treasure
within their hearts the knowledge that
as the days go by their friends will
increase by additions to the cause of
their own fcarlessness, and that the
tyrannous power of the ostracizIng
hierarchs will dwindle TO final nothing
ness.

A NEW CURE FOR BURNS,

Philadelphia Record.
Blind chance. which has so frequently
given the clew to men of science, recent
" led to the discovery in the Paris
Charity hospital of n new cure 10I
burns. This remedy. it is claimed, VIII
cause burns to cease from beng palhiul
as soon as it is applied and Will cause
injured flesh TO heal with marvellous ra-
pidity.
DR.. Thierry. one of the surgeons IN
attendance at the hospital, was in the
habit of using picric acid as an ANTI
septic, and his hands were, therefore,
impregnated with the solution, One
day in lighting cigarette a portion
of the burning match fell on his hand,
but instead of feeling it he did not no
tice the slightest pain. y short time
afterward, while in the act OF sealing
a valuable letter, a portion of the burn-
ing wax stuck TO his finger, and, though
it cautcrized the skin it, was no more
painful TO him than if it. had fallen on
an armored glove Of steel.
This curious lack of feeling set the
doctor s wits to work, and he soon ar.
rived at the conclusion that the acid
had, TO use his own words, acted upon
the tissues and tightened them He
then began series Of experiments in
treating burns with picric acid. In
every case he treated all pain was in
stantly suppressed. He says in his re-
port that after having bathed the
wound in a solution of this acid, bis
ters did not form, and cure was effect
ed after four of FIVE days. Among the
chance discoveries of late years tins
new use for picriG acid will probably
prove to be one of the most beneficial
to mankind.

TYPHOID PREVENTED BY TEA
Nam York Herald

New 1ork Herald
Tea is preventive of typhoid it
has lust been announced in England.
The discovery is made by Major J. G.
McNaught, surgeon in the British
army. who acquaiuts the medical pro-
fession in America with the particulars
of his experiments.
He finds that the typhoid germ, in
pure culture, becomes greatly dimn-
ished in numbers by an exposure Of
four hours to the beverage After
twenty hours il was impossible to re-.
cover at all from the cold tea. He rec
ommends the use Of cold tea as a sub.
stitute for water in soldiers csnteens
during active service Even when water
Is sufficiently sterilized it is likely TO
become infected after sterilization. and
bottles which have once been filed with
contaminated water are capable Of
transmitting the infection for a long
time.
Major McNaught suggests that ev-
eryhody drink tea. If prepared in a
proper manner tea, according TO physi-
clans, constitutes refreshing and not
harmful beverage, for it is the tannin
and other extrac tives. which are drawn
out only after continued sleeping,
which are productive of harmful conse-
quences. Boiled' tea gives n COP

II employed in the manner indicated,
IN localities where typhoid is known to
be present, tea may thus serve as one
OF the essential precautionary measures
to guard against infection by this
dread disease.
