THE DRUGGISTS HERE.

The druggists of the State are in the
city in their annual convention. We
welcome them as an important, indeed,
an indispensable portion of the com
munity, without whose skill and care
humanity would be at loss 1t is due
TO their efforts and care that the sum
of human misery does not oft overflow
the measure of possibility to bear
They are the guardians of life and of
health in a far greater degree than is
commonly comprchended; and so we are
glad that they find time to get together
and consult for an even yet moro thor
ough service 10 those dependent upon
their efforts. In this conference all of
them will be benefited. and the general
result must tell for the good of the
public.
The subjects laid down for prcsenta-
ton and discussion are many and are
all practical and pertinent to the drug
gist : calling. Their discussion can
not help but be of profit TO all, and
all will go away from this convention
strengthened, and feeling vet more
capable Of dealing with their business.
so that II will be more of a blessing to
their fellow beings than ever before.
And that is the true spirit in which
these conventions should be held.
But the attendance will not be all a
professional grind, There will be a
banquet, of course, and some time be.
sides devoted to short excursions and
TO recreation, as is natural and proper.
In this, also, The Tribune hopes that
the utmost possible may be derived
from whatever is undertaken. And
Salt Lake is proud to be the meeting
place of this helpful company. 1t hopes
that they may be so charmed with their
asscmblage here this year that they
will make this city their permanent
meeting place, and may depart for their
homes at the close of their visit, both

governmental affairs, and the sweeping
away Of autocracy This is precisely
what is wanted, and precisely what
should be granted, People have their
rights in Persia as elsewhere, and they
arc asking nothing only what is right
in their insistence that the constitution
should he obeycd by the Shah as well
as by the people.
The news that the people were hav
ing their own way, as the dispatches
read yesterday, cannot but be grateful
TO those who maintain that the people
have rights: and II is to be hoped that
the gratifying news that was then
prevalent may continue to the end. and

PERs1ANs GAINING THEIR OWN.

It appears that the Persian Ma.
tionalists are sweeping everything be-
fore them They have taken possession
of Teheran the capital, practically with
out opposition. Colonel Liakhoff, the
military commander Of the Persian Cos
sacks. will no doubt be obliged to sur
render if he has not already done so.
The Shah, it is said, will take refuge
within some foreign legation. If he
does so, he will be deposed, and con
stitutional monarch will be put in his
place. The Shah adopted the coDstitu-
tion two wears ago, and all seemed to
be going along swimmingly, when he
took il into his head TO abrogate the
constitution and once more establish
autocracy. This the people would not
stand, and there has been trouble and
fighting ever since. Russia took ad-
vantage of this and sent troops into
Persia to maintain the integrity OF It's
"sphere of influence IN the northern
provinces. But so far, Russia 6 inter
ference, contrary TO expectations, mas
not been aggressive or selfish. If II is
true that Russia intcrfercs only in her
own protection. there will be no reason
for the Russian military commander IN
Teheran TO hold out against the Ma
tionalists.

CREDIT DUE TO AMERICANS.

Mr.. Glen Sterling recently wrote
letter TO the Chicago Evening Post,
which the Descrct News printed last
night with much exultatlon. We don t
see much in that letter for the church
organ to cXult about, but on the con
trary much that should cause 1t cha
grin We reprint this same letter on
tins same page in this mornings Tri-
bunc,
Mr. Sterling comes pretty near stat
ing tho case accurately when he says
that "Thc fear of Mormonsm or, more
properly speaking. perhaps, the gen
era conviction that the Influence and
spirit Of Mormonism were such as were
bound to rctard progress, has passed,
or is rapidly disappearing. But he
docsn t quite reach the pith of the
matter If he had stated that people
no longer fear Mormon reaction, and
the influences and spirit Of Mormonism
as they did, and that the old Mormon
paralyzing grip can never again be
fastened upon Salt Lake City, he
would have had il down pat.
When he comes 10 deal with the
beet sugar question, it is really aston
ishing how the surface can be skinned
without touching the quick. From his
account. one would hardly suppose that
the American Sugar Trust has the ma
lIority of the stock Of this local beet
sugar monopoly. and can and does
control, even to the shame and humilia.
tlon of the local management when it
chooses TO do so. An instance of this
interference and reputation of local
agreement was when the local sugar
interests had positively agreed and
pledged themselves to build sugar
factory at or near Gunnisou, in San
pete county; but the big trust put its
foot down, repudiated the agreement,
and forbade the construction. And
the big trust dictates the price of sugar
and the marketing of the surplus in the
East. In the face Of the facts, 1t is
difficult TO understand how Mr.. Cutler
could have given TO Mr. Sterling so en-
phatlc clearance TO the local sugar

BRIDWELL SCANDAL DROPPED.

II appears that the Board of Educa.
tion of this city is willing to let the
Bridwcll scandal remain just where it
is. IT Will he remembered that a good
deal of extremely damaging testimony
against Mr.. Bridwell, the Board S build
ing superintendent. was developed in
the investiga ton. in the way of losing
and changing of payrolls, the carrying
of fictitious names on those rolls the
double payments of money in various
directions, and the general looseness
and corruption in the way things were
managed, that was altogether scandal.
Gus. And yet all through, it was evi-
dent that good many members Of the
Board were backing BridwolI no matter
what he did. In place of sitting as
Judges on his case, they were clearly
advocates of bis cause Mr. Mat
Thomas of the Fourth Ward was the
only one of the total membership of
the Board who appeared to have any
genuine interest in the clearing no of
the scandals, and Strengthening out the
Board s business affairs in the building
and repairing line. on an honest basis.
Mr.. Bridwell ostensibly opened his
own defense. but so far from it being
a defense Of himself, II turned out to
be a decided implication of other mem
bers Of the Board in his evil methods
He directly connected them with his
malfeasancc, and one of them was so
1. Il
he would require an explanation from
Mr.. Bridwcll. If any explanation was
made, however, it must have been
made in private. And it is certain
thing that the members so implicated
were all lined up in staunch support
of Bridwell, all the while.
On the vote 10 indefinitely postpone
the investigation, all of Bridwcll s
| friends, with the exception of Newman,
concurred with the other members of
the Board in voting to postpone. New
man voted against it, His idea, no
doubt, was, that since he is in the
slough of misdceds as deep as he could
get, while others were merely lowering
around the edge, with some partly in.
| he would like to see as many get into
this same slough as possible, as far As
he was himself, The indications are
that majority Of the board was
afraid Of pursuing the Investigation
but the vote was clear test on the
proposition that Brldwell could not ex-
culpate himself. 1t was, in fact, Il vote
TO the effect that Bridwell is guilty
but that the Board does not want 10
openly say so, lest he arraign his Gene
miesn before the bishops court fol
Iunehristianlike conduct. 1t is a
lamentable and impotent conclusion OF

BOLIVIA IS CHILDISH.

Bolivia S discomfort upon the award
of the title to the rubber tract. which
was in dispute between itself. Brazil
and Peru, is taking childish form The
Bolivian Minister at Bucnos Ayrcs asks
TO be Informed Of the details of and
reasons for the award made by Prcsi
dent Alcorta Of Argentina, and he is in
formed very curtly that if he wanted
TO get the details Of this award he
should have attended the meeting at
which the award was made He STAYED
away from this meeting. as ne stated.
in order not TO compromise his govern
mcnt; but he has compromised himself
and also his government. by staying
away; because now he is seeking infor-
nation that would have been given
him as a matter of course if he had at
tended TO his business.
And now the talk is all of war But
it is not quito certain what people If
is that Bolivia wants TO fight. 1t can
hardly seek war with Peru, because
Peru has committed no aggression, and
being the chief beneficiary Of the
award, has no reason TO fight for what
it has already obtained through arbi-
tration. Bolivia can hardly fight
Brazil, because Brazil bought for ten
million dollars from Bolivia its claim in
this rubber tract. which claim now turns
out TO have been a gold brick: so
Bolivia can hardly expect Brazil S help.
Bolivia can hardly fight Argentina; be
cause Argentina has nothing TO do with
the matter. save that her President, at
the requests of all the powers inter
estcd, considered the matter as arbl-
TRAITOR and made his award accordingly.
So. while it is true that war Is being
talked of hotly in Bolivia, 1t is hard
to see what Bolivia is going TO fight
1t seems really TO have no quarrel with
anybody, and the best thing this
Bollyisns can do-is to take their mcdl-
cine and subsidc.
