AN INSOLENT CRIMINAL,

Joseph F. Smith publishes in the
Improvement Era, the Official organ of
tine associations of the young people
of his church, an editorial article under
the title of Wisdom g Victory
The principal merit of his screed,
promulgated for the politico religious
guidance of his dupes, is in its expo.
stion OF the unmitigatcd Smith in
science. That article was written bv
Joseph F, Smith while he was
standing under a charge Of law break
ing to which he afterward pleaded
guilty and for which he was fined
three hundred dollars; but that did
not prevent him from charging oppo-
nents of his sinfulness with having
viciously abused innocent people
that they might the more readily,
unobserved, do the wrongs they had
decried in others" So the bogus
prophet confesses that there are
wrongs" which the decent citizen!
ship here ''bave decried in others. -
But 1t seems that the greedy Smith
wants to monopolize all the wrongs
unto himself, because his stated logic
concludes that if he be let alone in his
own wrong doing there will be no
opportunity for others TO err. And his
assumption of innocency is personal
insult TO every citizen in the whole
country If man be innocent who
has lived lawless life for forty years,
and has brought thirteen children into
the world, not only unlawfully. but
against his word Of honor, then the

years and had beootten twenty-six

1t will readily be seen that the Amcri-
cans had plenty of votes in each of two
wards, the First and the Second. to
elect their candidates by handsome
majority. But they were lethargic, and
did not turn out 10 vote The opposi-
ton, the church Republicans, masked as
comparisons, on the other hand,
polled fairly well their party strength
No doubt there was added TO the
American vote in each case, number
OF Gentle Democratic votes, which
ought to have brought easy victory in
both of these two wards named. and
made close race, if not triumph. in
the Fourth. OF course. the Third ward
is hopeless case; but will any one
contend that the Third is the most pro-
gressive, the most enlightened, the most
intelligent ward in the city, the best
and most up-to.date friend of the free
public schools? To ask that question
is to answer it; but the answer must
be in the Affirmative if the argument
and claims of the "nonpartisans have
any value; for their contention is that
they are the bright, particular friends
of the schools; and it necessarily fol-
lows that in their stronghold must be
found the qualities they represent in
their greatest perfection. But that ward
elected Newman. Can any one claim
him as friendly to the free public
schools and pre-eminent in school work
There seems to be a dilemma here. a
misGt in the connection Of the 'non.
partisan reasoning. In fact, the ''non-
partisans refutc their own arguments
by the things which they do and The
conditions that they create, where they
have everything their own way.
1t is evident from the circumstances
and facts of the case, that the ''non-
partisan movement was reactionary,
a move backward educationally, and
that this movement was most perfectly
represented by the sentiments and acts
of the voters Of the Third ward. And
the same element which is so predom-
iuant in that ward was also the strength
and backbone of the noupartisan'
movement in the city. In the Fifth
ward. where this element is negli-
gible quantity. the American candidate
spurned its hypocritical nomination, and
ran squarely and distinctiveIy as the
American party candidate.
1t is unfortunate that the Americans
did not rouse themselves and win the
two other wards named, rs well as the
Fifth; for they had the votes to do it;
and their good will toward an actual
American school system is undoubtcd,
As il is, they have lost an important
point, which there is no possibility of
their recovering in less than the two
wears to come.

SCHOOL ELECTION FIGURES.

Wednesday. the so.called nonpartisan
voto appears to have represented prac-

the general election in November. The
church Democratic vote was no doubt
polled to considerable extent for the

day, as il was for the church RcpubG

for the most part. the distinctively

on the one side, and the polygamists of
the Mormon church on the other side
that polygamous living (known to the
law as unlawful cohabitation) might
continue during the lives of those who
had married their plural wives pre-
yious TO the issuance of the manifesto,
there is one point which has been
studiously ignored by the pretenders
in the church who demand a recocni.
tion Of that tacit understanding and,
not receiving that recognition, still

legged understanding.

pie that a large number Of prominent
polygamists announced, after the pro-
mitigation of the manifesto. that--inas.
much as the law Of the church now for
bade them 10 live with their plural
wives-they would live with no wife:
and that in many instances polygamists
withdrew themselves from all conjugal
relations and lived alone.
If there were a tacit understanding
why did they then assume that there
was none? ff-when amnesty was
granted by the President of the United
States for previous offenses TO such as
would thereafter obey tho law-there
was a taeit understanding with the Ma
ton that the amnesty was uncondi-
tional and that the President of the
Unified States did not mean what he
said, but rather meant that pardon was
given in full to those offenders who
would continue to offend, why did the
polygamists continue to act as il there
were no such understanding Why did
these men, who now claim the benefit
Of a bargain, continue to live alone,
asserting that all their wives were
sacred to them and that they would not
show partiality by living with one to
the abandonment of the others2

IN apparent unconceru at the imbccil-

manifesto waa issued, and in all thc
succeeding events. That they could con
tinuc TO live with their polyeamous
wives taken previous to 1890, so long
as they did not enter into any new
polygamy.
The Tribune asked one Of these men
the other day to answer these ques-
lions. He was claiming refuge under
some intangible covenant which the
country had made 20 him TO permit
him to live out his polygamous life in
the active practice Of this preferred
part of his religion. lie was reminded
that during a period of several years
after the manifesto and after tbc am
nesty he had staggered through Utah,
exhibiting his wounded feelings for the
admiration Of all the members Of the
church. Hc had told them that he was
homeless because of the crucltIcS of
the Law, tho bigotry of men and the
fact that God had been compelled TO
come to the rescue Of His people and
recall His commandment for the prac-
tice of polygamy. In private conver.

him to withhold himself from coniugal

withhold himself from couiugal rela-

reminded he utterly failed to reply TO
the questions, fell into a rage and com
