AN UNFAIR COMPARISON.

Some Of the newspapers in the East
are drawing harsh comparisons between
the current accounts then given of the
round the world journey made by Cen
eral Grant, and the spectacular dis
tinctions that now accompany eX-
President Roosevelt IS meteoric tour of
Europe. And these accounts generally
are cynical in their comparison between
the two men, being pronounced in re-
calling the tremendous services of Gen
eral Grant as compared with the com
paratively meager services of Mr..
Roosevelt ''He gave advice to no
nation except the japanese, and they
asked for it; he both saw the Pope and
received a delegation Of Methodists
in the course of his journey, but the
world was not stirred up by either in.
cident,' is the way it is put, in behalf
of Grant.
But comparisons like this, odious as
they may be, are by no means entirely
fair; for. mt the time that General
Grant made his tour around the world
thirty.three years ago, the art of pub
licity WAS in its infancy. There were
no such instrumentalities for spectacu-
lar advertising of personalities or
events then as now at hand and at the
service Of any one who chooses to make
use Of them. And then, General Grant
was rather inclined to modesty; he was
of retiring disposition, and horn
blowing and tonting ANNOYED him, But
the direct reverse is true OF Mr.. Roose-
welt. He enjoys publicity, he likes to
have people talk about him, he likes
TO have a good time, and is rather moro
than willing that the world should
know all about it, The difference is
fundamental in this regard and is. of
course, temperamental, The very thing
that Roosevelt would glory in in this
respect is what Grant would 90 long
way around to avoid
General Grant was treated with the
highest consideration by all the mon
archs Of the world in the countries
which he visited. He was shown the
best Of everything, and especially was
there great effort in all the countries
Of Europe to show him their armies
and their armaments, as TO one who
was skilled in that line of human en-
deavor and accomplishment, good
Judge OF what was shown, and able to
appreciate the good points. There has
been some of this also for Mr.. Roose-
welt In France and in Germany, espe-
cially. there were military displays.
Less so IN Italy and none in Holland,
Denmark, Norway, or Sweden.
But after all, the matter resolves
itself primarily into this difference i'll

DANGEROUS CONDITIONS.

As The Tribune has often said, and
it repeats it now, it gives to this paper
no pleasure whatever to call attention
to certain dcplorabie misdoiugs of the
Mormon priesthood; but il is a duty
that must be performed in protection
of the public morality.
Our attention has been drawn TO
some further details in case of new
polygamy in Mexico to which we have
already made reference. II is the case
of an elder in Mexico, who is counselor
TO a bishop who is himself new po-
Iygamist One day a few Mormons
were gathered in conversation on the
street at Juarez, and among them was
Elder 4. While they were engaged in
their talk Elder B. came along and
stopped at the group. After the usual
salutations and handshakings, Elder A.
addressed Elder B. about like this.
Brother b., are ye still alvin with
my wife, eyes, Brother A., ] am, -
replied y. 'EThen | guess ye'd bet
ter marry her, hadn t We, Brother B7''
suggested Elder A. "All right Brother
A." And so the thing was settled
right there and then, and Elder B. mar
Fied Sister A. as his third wife, after
having for some months sustained IL
licit relations with the woman who was
the wife Of his brother in the Mormon
gospel. The Tribune has the names OF
the parties, but withholds them in
charity.
Here is an illustration of one Of the
dangerous evils that are threatening the
Mormon home by reason of polygamy

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

An important business event of the
week has been the move inaugurated
by the Governors OF the Commercial
Club for the reduction in rates on coal,

coal keeps down the establishment of
manufactures here, and limits the field

The form in which the Commercial

ture shall in conformity with the Con-
Stitution, enact freight rate for with.
ln-the-State coal transportation that
will compel reduction Of charges for
hauling coal to this city from the Car
bon county mines.
The organization Of the Commercial
Club Publicity Bureau is meeting with
good support, and the assured success
of the movement is already reflected
in the expressions of confidence Of
business men in all lines.
Another event Of marked interest
throughout the State is the projected
- getting acquainted trip this week of
the Commercial Club. All the places
throughout the State where visits are
TO be made by the Club are making
elaborate preparations fer that visit.
