MormoniZed Principles.

After remarkng that ''the Dubois fight against
American principles is the subject of editorial COM
ment by the press of the Gem state, the Deseret
News (of Salt Lake, quotes from four of the most
notorious Jack Mormon papers in the state in sup
port of the "un-Amercanism" of the Dubois fight"
AS the fight is wholly against the practice of
polygamy and political control by an alleged re-
lgious organization, it follows that official organ
of the Mormon hierarchy classes polygamy and
church control in politics American principles"
1t is to this end that the church of Mormon has
been steadfast1y working since Brigham Young 10
Gated his empire in the mountains of Deseret and it
is now bold enough to announce, through its news
paper mouthpiece, that the two crimes against which
the dubois fight" is being made are established
American principles
The Deseret News calls the Boise Capital News
the Lewiston Tribune the Rexburg Current News
and the Shoshone Journal upon the witness stand in
support of its contention that polygany and church
control in politics are American principles These
subservient tools of Goddess system speak prompt
ly on the side of the schening saints.
After which the organ of the hierarchy reproduces
the stale plattude of the Mormon ages saying:
The general sentiment seems to be there can be
no cooperation between any truly American party in
Idaho and the Dubois following, as long as Dubois
insists on making war upon church under cover
of politics.
Many times it has been stated in the columns of
this paper, and the language of the decisions has
been given in support of the statement, that the
supreme court of the United States has twice ruled
that war upon poygamy and upon the interference
of the church in the affairs of the state is not
war upon religion-upon the church that is sus-
tanned by the Deseret News and the other papers
mentioned
With the same degree of patience that the church
organ and its satellites manifest in their defense of
crime The Scimtar hopes to be able to reterate and
maintain the rebutting testimony of the highest
Judicial tribunal of the nation Once more it re-
peats that the record may be sustained that the So
called Dubois fight" is against the violation of law
and morals
The Americanism of the state demands that the
light be continued until violation of law and
morals ceases. The Deseret News will not be able
o impress upon the Gentle mind its contention that
his IS religious war, although it continues to
strive for the impossible
Decent Americanism will maintain its front of
opposition to the theocracy that demands control of
emporal affairs and the perpetuaton of crime
gainst society,"

"Ayhao. II was explained. planned the
murder while acting as one of the ma

two white men into tnc interior OF the
island. While gamblirg with the other
guides he drlgged the entire party with
the fumes from plant. Ayhao and some
followers then killed Everett and wake
lev and five guides. The only excuse given
by Ayhao for numbering the party was
that he felt like killing some one.
Lieutenant Ahern and his party found
the botanical and other equipment OF the
two men and also Everett's money. All
the villages and native strongholds IN

approach of the searching party. Lieuten-
