The Hierarchy in Politics.

One of the few Republican members of the Senate
who voted against the right of Mormon Apostle
Smoot to a seat in that body was Mr. Kittredge of
South Dakota, and his vote was recorded against
the party command to recognize the Mormon estab-
lshment BECAUSE in his opinion the testimonyproved
that Mr. Smoot ought not to be a member of the
Senate.
Mr.. Kittredge is in the midst of a contest in
his state for reelection and his active opponent
is faction of his party and it appears to have
come into possession of more than the usual abund-
ance of money for campaign uses. His friends claim
to have discovered that the Salt Lake hierarchy is
contributing generously to the defeat of Mr.. Kit
redge
This is not improbable The church pursues those
that oppose it with the vindctive purpose of the
Danites of old. 1t does not murder in these days,
but it destroys in another way. 1t marks the of
influence, buys him if it and if cannot buy it
defeats, if money and intrigue be made to
complish that end.
A Senator is always worthy of its efforts. In Hi
nois the hierarchy is sustaining the of Sena-
tor Hopkins with all the influence that be
brought to bear Mr.. Hopkins was the main spoke
in the Senatorial wheel of the administration ma
chine insisting that the Senate should ignore the
evidence and seat Apostle Smoot. His constituents
disposed to retire him, account of his activity
in behalf of the of Smoot, and the hierarchy
has gone to his defense.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose that the
influence would oppose the reelection of Mr.. Kit
redge in South Dakota. The church needs all the
friends it can secure in the United States Senate and
in other high places, for there is before Con-
gress a proposition for a constitutional amendment
to turn all polygamists to the jurisdiction of
the federal authorities under the provisions of
duplicate of the Edmunds- Tucker Act which filed
the penitentiaries of the west with many times
married Mormon convicts in territorial times.
The hierarchy will defeat every Senator and Con-
gresham who is not its friend if it can that it may
save the churchy polygamsts from the fate involved
in the proposed constitutional amendment 1t will
pursue Mr. Kittredge, of course, as freely as it will
help Mr.. Hopkins and it has all the money that can
possibly be used for campaign purposes in any state
The tithes of the faithful amount to a couple of
million dollars year and the presidency does not
have account for any of the money thus extorted
under threat of everlasting hell fire. 1t can be used
without stint in protecting polygamy against the
wrath of the American people, who already de-
handing the enactment of the constitutional pro-
vision now held under suppression in Senate Com

New York, Dec. 1.-That d man with
vast wealth has grave troubles of his
own In the serious difficulty of devlsing
ways to get rid of the money, Is the
view of John d. Rockefeller He finds
there is limit to what one can spend on
food. wearing apparel and home. and
he sees little but harm to the recipient
in giving away money to those who
have not earned it,
The result OF Mr.. Rockefeller's de-
ductions Is that a rich man is doomed
to keep in his own name practically all
his money and work it for the public
good through safe investments, letting
it reach the people through pay en-
velopes or benefit them in gifts dis
