SMITH WASN'T INVEIGLED.

On Saturday last the Deseret News
published u communication from one
who was recently q visitor to this city,
in which it Is set forth that the writer
was inveigled into a prize fight, pulled
off "under the guise of religion, and
with alleged police protection,
Readers will remember that an ac-
count was published in the Salt Lake
dailies of an alleged New Thought meet
ing, at which the impositions of pre-
tended mnterializing medium were ex-
posed, and where the dupes caused the
arrest of the supposed medium and de
mandcd to have their money refunded.
1t seems that something in the nature
of rough house transpired when the
fraud was unearthed, and that some eX-
citement prevailed for short time.
Undoubtedly this is the case to which
the correspondent of the church organ
refers, and which is designated in the
letter to have been a prize fight. In
the first instance, not many people will
admit that a great deal of weight can
attach to the mentality which will per-
nit the individual to take stock in any
announcements of such seances; and
for that reason no sensible person would
be able TO take to heart the municipal
lesson which the News correspondent
attempts 10 read. But the chief stupid
ity rests with the organ Of the Nor
l.,
the incident into component part of
the ecclesiastical raid upon the arm of
the law in this city. In It's desperation
to lay hold on something which can be
made to appear as n reflection upon the
administration of the American party,
the poor old representative of dementia
Mormona wildly grasps at the cores
pondent s crcdulIty as a means 10 its
hypocritical purpose. Probably the
church organ and its correspondent
would hare been much better satisfied
if the fraud has not been exposed and
the gullible correspondent could have
deludcdly rchcarscd the wonderful man
ifcstations which were made in the
peace and quictude which characterizcs
the usual gatherings of such quiescent
dupes
That the latter must be true is evi
denccd IN the apparent satisfaction
with which the News prints the cor.
respondent s praise Of the tabernacle
services. To be sure. There the de-
ludcd ''easy money kept it's col
lectivc seat while the prophetic cheats
practiced their cutlery upon the inno
cents. Here all was serene and peace

AVERT THE STRIFE!

! IL is certainly to be hoped that the
! officials of the street.car company and
| the employees Of that company may
find n common ground upon which they
can meet and adjust their differences,
so that strike may be averted. Both
should consider that there is a third
party in this business, party that
neither can do without, and whose in
terests would be so materially interfered
with in case Of strike. that both sides
should pause before precipitating such
interference.
We are aware that there is much to
say In behalf of the position that each
side to this contention urges. We arc
also aware that the general public,
whose interest does not seem 10 be much
considered by either of the J,sputants,
can urge strong reasons why its con
venience, routine. comfort and business
use of the street-car system should not
be interfered with. AMI as the gen
eral public is the source from which
the revenues Of both sides come, its m
terests should by both be held to he
supreme.
We urge, therefore, that the general
public should be represented in the con-
ferences in which the differences be.

The purpose is not to change local ad-
ministration but TO have the denomina-
