IT is noticed, though. that the breth-

In the Fosgren case they offered TO give
the defendant two weeks in which to

communicating him they were willing
TO hold the matter in suspense for that
length Of time in order that he might
reconsider his rcbellious determination.
But he was too brave and too honest
for the towards and hypocrites who sat
i'll his case. He replied to them that
it was no kindness to cut off dogs
tail bit by bit, and that he would ac.
ccpt his communication in one opera
tion.
After n while the saints will open
their eyes to what all this means, Here
is this man, declaring his belief that
the prophet, seer, and revelator uttered
the truth at Washington, when he testi-
fed under oath; and here are the rep
resentatives of that same prophet, de-
priving the man of his membership in
the church because of that belief, which
ought TO be matter of course, But it
appears that belief in Smith, per-

THE LooTING HAS BEGUN.

! The looting of the county treasury
in furtherance Of the conspirators plot
to convict Chief Sheets of crime
which all know he has not committed
has begun. Two county warrants, each
for $500. have been issued, one TO
Judge O. n. Hilton and one TO
J, Rosch, whoever he may be, whose
"agent" is Joseph c. Sharp, n deputy
sheriff of this county. The first is
''for legal services in case of State VS..
George Sheets CT al. - and the second
is "for services rendered and infor
nation furnished in the case of the
State of Utah vs. ". II. Parent. "
This second one is signed by "Joseph
c. Sharp. agent.
Judge Hilton came to Utah from,
Denver, TO look after the interests of
his client. W. II. Parent. That was
his business. He was to defend Par
rent from the criminal information
lodged against him. But the transfer
nation scene was sudden and COM
plete. Parent was not prosecuted, but
was used to prosecute Chief Sheets;
his testimony was clearly n tissue of
falsehoods, and was absolutely dis
proved in all It's essential points. And
yet, in pursuance of the conspiracy,
the Chief was held. Hilton was
switched from his position as counsel
TO dcfend Parent, and made counsel
for the State, and the county pays the
bill 1t was a disreputable but in

In pursuance of this dirty plot, ii was
necessary TO have the church press here
raise and keep up a clamor against
Sheets, as though the conspirators
were proving something against him,
when, in fact, they were proving moth
ing.
And who is 81 Rosch7' Where does

whose name certain expenditures that
will not bear the light, can be met and

There should be some way 10 prevent
the payment or tins JOB money. lts
extraction from the public treasury is
an outrage upon the taxpayers of Salt
Lake county. Why should they be re-
quired to put their hands in their
pockets to pay the attorney fees Of a
Denver crook?
The way to meet such dcspicablc
looting Of the public treasury is by en-
joining the allowance of such ac-
and the payment of the war
rants. Or, if the conspirators have
their looting through so
that the money is gone, prompt suit
should be fled against the officials who
allowed and paid these looting claims,
and recovery of tho money had on
their bonds.

THAT BUILDING INCOMPETENCE.

Some days ago The Tribune, in re-
ferring TO the lack of ability shown by
the present Board of Education in its
letting of the contract for the new
schoolhouse in the northwestern part
OF the city, called attention to two
matters proving that lack First, its
letting of the contract TO firm whose
bid was $4,000 above that of the lowest
bid for the work; second, to the faulty
specifications for that building, wherein
they failed TO conform to the building
ordinance Of the city, the walls being
too weak, thereby making the building
insecure.
Now comes the Smoot "mouthp UNI
dertaking TO ''refute" the first of these
propositions. II makes the belated
claim that the lowest bid was not n
substantial bid, and that the board did
we'll to reject 1T. But nothing like
this was heard at the time. The re.
lection was on a mere quibble, and for
a reason that could have been ad-
lusted in Eve minutes, if the board
had had the interest Of the public at
heart. The lack was simply of the de-
posit of a certified check. as the ad.
vertisement required, which was mere
oversight on the part of the bidders.
and which could have been obtained
Immediately had the board wanted it.
The board, however, did not want that
certified check, because to have received
1T would have been to give the work
to firm not of the Mormon faith. And
it was essential, in their view, that
Mormons should have this contract
and do the work, The Tribune gave a
full account of this wretched matter
at the time the contract was let There
was no claim at that time, nor could
there be any claim, that the firm max
ing the lowest bid was not fully re-
sponsible and able TO do the work
The Smoot "mouth - very con.
venicntIy fails TO take any account of
the second point in proof of the board s
incompetence. The specifications should
have been gone over thoroughly by
the board committee, approved by the
board itself, and its building super

If anything was lacking in the spccifca-
tions to make them conform to good
work and to the requirements of the
ordinance. But the whole matter was
passed over in slipshod way, no one
in authority seeming TO understand
what was required or TO know anything
about what should be done
The Tribune did not revive this mat
ter for any other purpose than as
warning to the board, in view of
its proposed building programme, TO be
more careful in the future both about
letting its contracts and about per
fectiug its specifications for school
house work when 1T let's any con
tract. The evident need of such warn
lug appears in the facts as stated, and
The Tribune again commends more eau
ton, more skill, and closer attention
to the work in hand, before any more
contracts are let for building school
houses III this city.
