churches, neither claiming nor under

ton Of their ministers, and this not
pretending to reach temporal relations
at all. much less to the domination of
the fellowship of the church in their
political and business affairs.
We cannot imagine, however, that the
church organ is ready to take this adj
vanccd view and abandon the claim
that has been insisted upon from tho
first. that the Mormon priesthood is
divincly ordained institution, and that
the membership Of it has peculiar and
exclusive power over it's laymen, this
power derived by direct communion
with God and by His especial decree.
But if it is the idea of the News that
this exclusive and dominating asscr-
tion is 10 be given up. so that the
priesthood of the Mormon church will
be put upon tho same level precisely
as the ministers which the Northwestern
is invited TO say so openly and plain
~, so that the public may know and
appreciate the giving up of the trsdl-
tional and intolerant, exclusive claim
of n special authority from God IN
herent I'm the priesthood Of the Nor
mon church, The difference between
the present and constant claim Of the
Mormon church priesthood from the
first OF the organization of the church
from tho Claims of the ministers OF
other churches, is and always has been
so marked that il would be new dc
parture indeed. if now, at this late
day. the Mormon priesthood should give
up that claim and concede and admit

! membership, no higher title TO obedr-

be glad if the proposition of the News
as herein indicated, that the former
higher claim of the Mormon priesthood

! listers of other churches were altogether
| abandoned. But if it is, let II be so
stated. plainly. If not, then all such
articles as the News printed on Wednes-

Attorney every facility 10 make good

declined TO proceed without some basis

pleading that if the court really re

have several months yet to make It,
after all these months Of waiting and
apparent preparation. Naturally, the
defendants objected. They had been
hailed into court on "A grlcvous charge,
and demanded "A hearing or dismissal.
But the Judge granted the time, and
the case was deferred TO October 18th,

HOKE SMITH, DEMAGOGUE.

Bitter criticism is being visited upon
Governor Hokc Smith Of Georgia be-
cause he assumed the role of arbitrator
instead Of enforcer Of tho law in the
strike against negro frcmen. But those
who expected Governor IIoke Smith to
enforce the law were hoping against
hope, When he was Secretary Of The
Interior under President Cleveland he
refused to open the Uintah reservation
in Utah, even dcfyinG an express Con
grcSsionnl statute IN his refusal The
law carried an appropriation of sixteen
thousand dollars for the woGk of open

old grannics not 10 open the rescryn-

it was not opened, and spend the money
in having an enjoyable time. They car

they went home, with nothing done

reputable woman. The county attorney,
in moving to dismiss the case, stated
that he had completely traced the
career of the woman who made this
charge. from the time she arrived in
this country: that he had communicated
with those in whose employ she had
been, and none had a good word for
her; that she had made the like charges

it; for even those who oppose it by
urging Irrelevant locality issues. CON
ccde by their very position that the
capitol should be built-but they want
il built somewhere else than in Salt
Lake. But as this is impossible. their
very position rcinforces the PROPOSE
tion that there is nothing TO say IN
opposition. no argument against the
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
tion that will come 10 vote on Tues

There being. therefore, no opposition
to the proposition so far as it relates
TO the need Of the capitol and the
propricty Of providing now for building
it. and since the locality question
is not before the people, why not make
the vote in favor unanimous? Since
the capitol is needed, since il is good
business proposition TO build it, and
since sound public policy favors it, in
asmuch as the structure would give
safety and convenience TO the public
records and would concentrate the
States public business where all the
people could go for whatever they re
quirc in dealing with the State, why
should any one vote against the capi-
tol? Taxpayers are the ones who have
the most business with the State. They
alone can vote on the proposition And
in voting yes, they vote in their own
