stood that Mormon would take his
place. Will some one tell us wha.
is the difference between a Mormon
and Mormon Apostle. Our learned
ministers will tell us that all Nor.
mons are serf; to their leaders, an
that an Apostle is a little more in
tel!igent than the common herd.
The election of Apostle Smoot had
nothing to do with the starting o,
the American party. The Tribune
even admits this. The Christian min
listers in common are bitterly opposed
to the Mormon church, and were
much elated in the chance of joining
hands with Tom Kearns, Dave Keith
end Perry Heath, proprietors of tn
Tribune, in raiding that organization.
Senator Smoot has only been a
circumstance in the raid. The CEN
ter of the fire was directed at the
president of the Mormon church.
The reasons of the ministers for the
raid are we'll known, and not worth
while repeating. Tom Kearns', Dave
Keth's and Perry Heath's reasons
are worth mentioning again.
When Tom Kearns was elected
senator he openly proclaimed that
he intended to be 1T" in this state,
and started out to make himself
political boss. Perry Heath and
Dave Keith, seeing how easy it was
to land an ignorant lubbcr like
Kearns, both entered the race for
senator unknown to each other
and both being assured of the sup
port of Kearns, which one was to
be thrown down by Tom never came
to light? Heath left his native State
to obtain residence in Utah, and
Keith postponed his trip for cruise
on the Mediterranean Sea, both be-
ing assured of the plum by Kearns.
The plan was to get President Smith
on their side by honeyed words and

WILL SENATOR SMOOT BE A
CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELEC-
TON?

not Reed Smoot be candidate for
reelection, his friends ask. Has he
done anything that bars him? Has he
on account of being an Apostle of the
Mormon church been unfair to the
nonM ormons of Utah? We say, no.
Senator Smoot has done good for the
West, and has had without question
as much influence, if not more, than
any other senator in this region, and
still retains it.
Senator Smoot is now chairman of
the Committee of the Patens, po-
sition that Senator Platt of Con
necticut had held previous to his
death for a term of nearly twensv
years.
Length of service in the Senate is
the qualification for advancement
on committees. Nearly twenty re-
publican senators have passed out OF
the Senate on account of death, re-
signation, etc, since Reed Smoot
took his seat. This accounts for his
rapid advancement to the chairman.
ship of the Committee of Patents,
one of the most important commit
tees of the Senate.
1t was claimed by the opponents
of the senator that he would have no
influence for the good of his State
on account of being an Apostle or
high churchman. The opposite has
been proven, and now his enemies
howl that he yields too much of that
material on account of holding that
position.
The fact is that whatever influence
Senator Smoot has is on account OF
his being strong man. The mere
fact of being an Apostle gives Smoot
no influence in the Senate, and takes
none from him. He is simply judged
on his merits as a man. A number
of people in this state are opposed
to Senator Smoot on account of his
aposteship, and think that he ought
to resign that position if he intends
to succeed himself The same people
admit that it would be easy if not
easier for Smoot to be reelected il
he was not an Apostle, thus admit
ting that the apostleship does not
help him politically, even at home
An Apostle in the Mormon church
engages in business and worldly af
fairs in common with his people, and
why should not he hold office in
common with II IN?
Christian ministers everywhere
claim that Mormonism is not a rel;.
gion hut a business corporation, and
fraud. No person objects to direc-
tors of leading corporations and
trusts being elected to the Senate.
Why is Reed Smoot called a high
churchman by these very ministers
who claim that Mormonism is no
part of Christianity, if it is not for
the purpose of deception?
1t is generally conceded in this
state that one Mormon and one Gem

ANOTHER HEAVY RAIN.

The threatening condition of the
heavens yesterday evening was followed
toward the close OF the day by heavy
dowupour of rain which continued at
intervals for several hours. Lightning
was flashing almost necessarily during
the time, and the roar OF thunder was
continuous.
The rain spread over large area,
nearly every section of Maryland having
been visited by the storm, while 1t ex'
tended to places in Pennsylvania But
little damage was done in the immedi-
ate ueighbOrhood, but In other sections
of the state aud in Maryland the dam
age was considerable.
The heat has but little abated. When
the rain frat began to fall yesterday the
mercury dropped from 80 to SC, but got
no to SO before six o'clock. This morn
ing at eight O'Clock the mercury stood
at 790 and by noon it had risen to 81,

BOARD OF HEALTH.

call The object was to determine the
status of The board, the members o.

an active hand in the efNt to make

of view.
Several years have elapsed since the

but those who last composed the same
claim they hold over until their success
sors are elected. Hence last nights &C.
ton.
While those persons who have at diff
fersnt times devoted themselves to the
duties incident to being members OF the
Board OF Health deserve the aPprecis-
ton of the community, 1t may be sug-
Rested that at the present time there Ia
law enough, were 1t enforced, to keep
the city 10 a slightly and sanitary condi-
ton. Under present laws every police
mau Is virtually health officer, and as
they are supposed to invade sll sections
of the city, if they exeItsd the power and
responsibility vested 10 them there would
practically be no need of s Board OF
Health, ether than the Health Officer.
Still, if the gentlemen who sllege that
they are still members Of that body de-
sire TO vie with other officials 10 cleaning
the city and keeping 1t clean, their &C.
ton will be commendable.
