calamity that has come upon Utah by
the election OF Smoot. Instead of being,
grateful for the advice. instead OF rec
ognizing that Senator Kearns had
acted in supreme devotion 10 the people
OF his State, some Of the Mormon lead
ers turned against him. and from that
time on have pursued him with VIM
dictiveness unparalleled In the recent
history Of Utah. In his case they Illus
trated, as they usually do. their utter
Jack OF logic or appreciation OF kind
ness. Being advised of danger. they
ignored the counsel and then charge
the ensuing disaster upon tho friends
who vainly sought to prevent it's oc-
currence. The responsibility of the
wrongs which have come through
Smootlsm is all upon Smoot and his
associates, and yet they charge the
present Utah tragedy TO the men who
warned against It.

A NEW WAY WITH CULPRITs.

The Idaho Socialists have made a
struck out lead for the overhauling of
Governmental affairs that is probably
little too soon to be generally followed.
At their convention In Boise on Thurs
day they by a resolution in their plat
form decided the case Of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone, now In the hands
OF the law on the charge OF the mur-
der Of former Governor Steuncnberg.
They declared the accused TO be inno-
cent OF the crime, which is a short
road to the result; but whether this
method Of disposing of the cases OF
persons accused OF crimo is worthy
to succeed the judicial procedure her.-
tofore had in such cases must be viewed
with extreme doubt
With this method OF disposlng Of
criminal cases it is manifest that the
judicial arm of the Government oaI
be dispensed with so far as the en-
forcenent OF the criminal law Is con-
cerned. The matter Will no longer be
one Of judicial procedure. but Of party
conventions. The real question will be
not as to whether the person is actu-
ally guilty, but whether he is our id
scoundrel' or the other fellows id
scoundrel." Criminal affairs AS now
known Will then simply become a mat
ter OF politics. There will be no crimi-
nails, but only Jealous political party
men.
In this view OF the case the Idaho
Socialists have become new departure
indeed. We think. however, that IL
will be some time before their example
is generally followed, and at present we
are confident that the other politicat
parties will be disposed. as the bulk OF
the population will be, to hold to the
old rule rather than take up with this
new lead. Trial by town meeting. or
even by q fairly decent vigilance COM

SHOOTS QUEER DISTINCTION,

Reference was made yesterday to tho
poor plea In behalf Of Apostle Smoot
that he merely Sustained polygamists
by his silence"
In addition to his voting aff1rmatively
and speaking platantly for them and In
their behalf, and In addition to his en1-
ploying polygamists as instructors OF
and exemplars to the youth OF Zion.
it is interesting to note the kind OF dif-
ferontlation that Smoot makes on the
question OF polysamy.
According to Shoots testimony he
would not recommend or vote for any
man for a Federal position who was q
polygamist and yet thore is no Federai
law against polygamy. Why should
Smoot be opposed to mans occupying
position under this Government II the
man transgressed against no law of the
United States?
According to Shoots testimony ana
action he would sustain a man In
church position or any public once
within this State OF Utah, although the
man might be q polygamist; and yet
there is a State law against polygamy.
Why would smoot uphold in office In
Utah a violater Of State law?
We recommend the foregoing ques-
tions TO some of the apologists TOT

HARMFUL TO YOUTH.

One of the new apostles OF the Nor
mon church instructed the faithful at
the recent quarterly conference Of the
st. George, Washington County. stake
of Zion. TO the following effect:
"rhinas that are especially harmful
to the youth are articles and cartoons,
that place the authorities of the church
in g. false light"
Under this doctrine there should be
a prompt suppression OF most OF the
Mormon prints, for they certainly place
the authorities OF tho church In false
light before the youth Of Zion. Tho
usual form Of expression of the adulat-
ing writer's of the cult is that the
prophets, seers. and reYelators are the
hest men In the world, endowed with
divine characteristics and authorized
to make and unmake law at their
pleasure. No more injurious teaching
could possibly be delivered to the youth
OF community, and the new apostle
is 10 be thanked for enunciating the
idea Where boys and girls imbibe the
notion that some men are beyond the
power of earthly law and are superior
to the moralities OF civilization, where
they see that multiplied infractions of
statute and boasting disregard of SEN
tmentality merely serve to exalt pre-
tended religious leaders, these boys and
girls are likely to grow up in selfish
disposition to crafty their own desires
in defiance OF tho laws, the ethics. and
the rights OF the rest OF mankind.
1t is, indeed. especially harmful to the
youth to read in the Mormon journals
the articles of adoring compliment 10
the authorities of the church, so long
as those authorities are living in direct
violation Of the laws OF God and man,
according to their own testimony.

THE LEVEL OF \ MINING CAMP.

The Tribune has had nothing to say,
editorially. on the killing OF Stanford
White by Harry X. Thaw. 1t does not
now intend to make any comment on
that homicide; but it does intend TO
say few words by way OF objection
to certain bumptious remark made
by an assistant district attorney In
New York City In his comment upon
that case, where he said that "It was
simply a question whether New York
has gone down to the level OF a mining
chance for his life"
Now. that is precisely the difference
between New York In general and this
particular New York case I'm especial,
and the ethics of a mining camp. In
a mining camp a man gets a chance
for his life. In New York he does
not In this case Stanford White had
no chance whatever for his life, nor
does the New York tough or mur-
dcrer I'm any case intend In the least
to give his victim even the shadow OF

and he aims to strike to disable and

eeem to have frequented, and in which
White was leading spirit. show n low
level OF degradation vice, and loath-
,rt1le \, ,Iol,

In the world. and certainly no mining
camp ever established by Americans
could ever sink even n few degrees in
the awful scale OF depravity which II
has been shown that the frequenters OF
this class OF society In New York ba-
bituaIly sound the depths. 1t is not
question OF New York descending to
any level whatever, much less of 1t
going down TO the level of a mining
camp; but the question Ia whether
that particular phase OF life in New
York can ever ascend to something like
the decent level Of an ordinary mining
camp in the West.
The White or Thaw crowd would
have q. long way to climb. over very
shaky and rickety ladder. before they
could climb out of the pit of vice and
depravity In which they habitually find
their level to emerge into the glory
and cleanness OF a Western mining
camp.
Let US hear no more from New York
about anybody there going down TO
the level Of a mining camp: rather let
the question be whether any ordinary
New Yorker can. without serving an
apprenticeship in decency, civilty and
fair play, rise up high enough to step
off on the level OF the usual American
mining camp, The remark OF the dis
trict attorney quoted is decidedly out

COST OF GIVING RELIEF.
San Francisco Call.

San Francisco Call.
The estimated cost of administering
the relief fund is placed at $1,000. 900 a
year. A million dollars Is a largo
amount, and seems larger when regard
ed as the administration expense OF
providing for the homeless and the un-
fortunate. Before a pound Of food is
provided or a stitch OF clothing bought,
II the estimate stands. 81 900. 900 must
be paid for administration out of tho
fund which generous people the world
over have contributed to those made
destitute by the fire.
This 81 ,000. 900 represents about 20 per
cent OF the ontire fund. That Is, for
every five dollars expended. four Will
go to the unfortunates and one to those
engaged In the work of distribution
But there is another way OF looking at
II. Careful estimates place the number
about 10000. This number Is at present
increasing slightly, due 10 the return
to San Francisco OF unfortunates who
have, until now, been provided for else
where. But as the fruit harvest pro-
crosses the number will be decreased
materially. On the average, 1t is not
probable that tho authorities will be
charged with the care OF more than
10000. II the cost of conducting their
relief is to be 81 900 900. the cost of ad-
ministering per capita Tor the year Will
be 1888, or something more than 81. so

the sane effect upon the Imagination
as does a round million, but they are
nevertheless large.

ROAD HELD GUILTY
OF REBATE GIVING
Chicago & Alton Company and
Two Former Officials Now
Under Conviction.

CHICAGO, July 6.-The Chicago &
Alton railroad and John N. Faithhorn
and Fred A. Wann, formerly officials Of
the road, were today convicted In the
United States District court Of illegally
granting rebates to the Schwarzchild
& sulzbcrger Packing company. No
sentence was imposed today by Judge
Lands, pending the arguments for a
new trial of the defendants, which Will
be heard tomorrow morning.
1t was claimed by the Government
that officials OF the railroad company
had allowed the employees OF the pack
ing company to travel free of expense
by refnndlng to them all money ex-
pended for transportation. It WAS de-
clared by the court that this did not
comprise rebate. and he instructed
the jury that n verdict of not guilty
should be returned as to two counts
of the indictment which charged the
giving of rebates in connection with
this passenger transportation.
Guilty on Eight Counts.
In the other eight counts of the In
dlctment. on all OF which the defend
ants were found guilty. two offenscs
against the Elkins law were alleged. IT
was SHOWN by the Government that the
railroad company had charged 81 per
car for handling the products OF
Schwarzchild & Sulzbcrger at Kansas
City. and had then repaid the packing
company 81 on each car. The Govern
ment claimed and the court held tina,
the failure of the railroad TO publish IN
it's tariff sheet the fact that the 81 was
repaid made 1t In fact a secret rebate
May BE Heavy Penalty.
1t was claimed by the attorneys fol
the defendants that the refund OF the
81 per car was free because the pack
Ing company owned the railroad track
near It's plant and compelled the rail
road company to pay that amount 70,
trackage to haul the cars away. Under
the law the maximum sentence OF the
court may be a fine OF 100000 for eacr
OF the three defendants. No imprison.
ment provision appears In the law
There are two specific allegations OF
rebating alleged In the eight counts oi
the Indictment upheld by tho court.

About Women
THE "PEEK-A-Boo" BLOUSE.

Milwaukee wisconsin,
The manager of the Milwaukee teie-
phone exchange has squelched an in
cipient panic by announcing that the
order OF the manager OF a New York
exchange barring the peek-a-boo waist
would not be repeated here, and by sup
plementing this announcement with the
assurance that the Milwaukee "hello
girls" will be permitted to consult their
own sweet Wills in the matter OF
dress.
The peek-a-boo waist Is distinctly a
summer garment of summery texture
and summery decoration so far as Its
embroidery Is concerned, 1t Is a gar
ment that Is designed to yield the larg-
est measure of comfort possible under

been objections from some quarters as
to the extent of the embroidery on GER
tain waists, and as 10 recklessness IN

objections have been as groundless as

GRAMMAR OF THE HOME.
Philadelphia Ledger.

In many families the education Of
the children Is committed almost ex
clusively to the schools and this suf-
ficiently accounts for the atrocious err
rors Of speech often noted In circles
where we might expect better things.
II matters not how faithful the teach
er may be. the child Will inevitably
initiate the language heard at home
and forget the instruction of the
school When the child hears incor-
rect language In the family and I'M
bibes it freely from vicious books he
is probably going to speak ungrem-
matically as long as he lives. A writer
on the educational process says that
the years from s to 12 constitute the
habit-forming period. This is the
time to break the human colt, in some
sense the widest Of all animals" Err
rors in the use Of the mother tongue
adopted during this time are difficult
TO correct.
