THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE SUNDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 90

ease of polygamy that has happened
since the year 1890. One certain apos
tie went down into tho southern part
OF the State of Utah TO investigate one
case which this paper had mentioned
namely. that of Henry $. Tanner. This
apostle appears to hnvo desired TO right
some wrongs, if by any means within
his power he could do so. He says that
when he questioned the girls who are
reputcd to have been dragged into now
poIygamv by this Henry S Tanner, they
he'd 10 him. They preferred TO accept
the position of being victims of a pas
sion. rather than wives.
Now it is confessed by the apostle
here referred to, and in whose honest
statements we have complete confidence,
polygamy because of the Internal lies
that are told by the now polygamists
men and women. In order TO bring
about the capture and iailinr of tins
sort of criminal, perhaps 1T will be bet
ter for Tho Tribune TO offer to the
Mormon church authorities a thousand
dollars for each case that they can
prove,
What must strike tho people as being
peculiar, however, is the fact that Wal
ter G.. Lyman has been removed from
the presidency Of the San Juan stake OF
Zion, although it is also true that 1T was
only The Tribune that gave reason for
his removal

In order 10 make showing of de-
fehsc against the proposition that it is
the administration policy in withdraw
ing the coal lands from entry that is the
prime evil in the whole economic ar.
rangcment with respect to coal the
Smoot organ makes two appeals, both
OF which arc falIacious and lawless
First, 1T assumes that the railroads
would refuse cars and transportation
facilities to amy company that would
undertake TO mine coal on its own ac-
count. This is alleging that the rail
roads would break not only the State
law hut the Federal statute which ex-
pressly prohibits anything Of the kind,
The assumption that the railroads would
do this is altogether gratuitous, aud
is IL fling at the railroad managcments
which eau hardly be justified by fact;
for companies arc even now in the en-
.joyment of full transportation facilities
that have nothing to do with the rail
roads or the railroad coal companies;
the chief trouble being that there is
rot enough of them. Second, that or
gan assumes that persons or corpora
tions taking up coal lands, were they
allowed TO do SO. would open up their
mines and offer coal for Transportation

In all this coal proposition it is evi-.
dent that those monopolistic combines
have overshot the mark. They are
charging far more than they ought to
for coal. And yet the public would
not favor them being blackmailed, for
blackmall is a scandalous thing in it
self, and while it at times yields profit
to the blackmaiIers, as in the prohibi-
tion scheme, it in no way relieves the
public of the burden and the evils which
the blackmailers have taken advantage
OF for their own purposes.
The Smoot organ, which is raising
this blackmailing outcry Just now, is
the organ Of the trusts, the combines,
the standpat" interests generally.
The enhanced price of coal is simply
one manifestation Of the general con-
ditions throughout the country whereby
combines and trusts have been by the
" standpatters built up and estab-
lishcd and are given complete control of
the markets of this country. For the
organ which has made itself consDicu-
Gus IN the support of these combines
and interests, to cry out now against
the effect of its own work, is an insult
to the community and an affectation of
virtue that will disgust. every one who
thinks.

read in the Dcscrct News It's usual

The News is a professional liar, and
run by one, Its editorial appearing
last night on this subject is as follows.
AS IT APPEARS.
II appearances count. the so-callcd

TO deprive corrupt city councils of the
power TO make political capital ont of
an institution of which Christian civiliza-
ton cannot but be thoroughly ashamed
by placing the authority to grant licenses
beyond the reach OF such misera bic cIty
councils, and thus removing the saloon
from politics. The situation in Utah
seems to require some such drastic meas
ure, Before tho saloon rule is abolished
there is little chance of the prevalence

or course there arc no such "appcar-
anccs' There is no such "compact. -
There is no such "ententc' with the
saloons. There is no "return for which

is no such saloon agency. In fact. the
whole thing is simply malicious false.
hood, well known to be such by the man
who wrote it.
lnasmuch, however. as the legislature
is to meet soon, and if the "Federal
BUNCH dare TO bring this matter be-
fore the legislature, we trust that the
investigation viii be thorough: that it
may appear which member Or members
of the gang Belle London had in her
tolls and for whose sake the Governor
made his interposition. Let the truth
come out, no matter who is hurt.
In the meantime. however, what mis-
erably scandalous mendacity it is for the
News to print such an utterly false edi-
torlal as is above quoted! That paper
seems to be absolutely inscriptions, ma
lipnant, vindictive, reckless, wholly
lacking. in conscience, decency or even

THE BLACKMA1LERs BUSY,

A little over two years ago the
Smcot paper opened a big seeming
propaganda in favor of prohibition. IT
called on ministers and on everybody
IL could get TO respond, To say whether
they did not think prohibition would
be good thing for Utah A good many
OF them did respond, and it then turned
out that they were simply being used

the brewing and liquor interests "come

pcnscs and for political graft This
disgnsicd everybody in the State il be-
ing the first open notorious blackmail.
ing proposition ever undertaken in
Etah
There is evidently another blackmail-
ing scheme now in the wind, The
Smoot paper is again out for coiu 1t
refused TO say anything about tho op
pressive coal prices until after cleo
tIon; but now it is out in full cry, evi-
IDENTIFY for double purpose. First, TO
''bleed y the coal dealers of the city.
and second, to scare the railroads aud
coal companies with a threat of pub
lie utilities commission, which is an
other name for railroad commission.
The purpose, of course is, in both lines,
to make the dealers and the companies
pay to the political grafters what may
be demanded,
IL is evident that there is settled
purpose in the minds Of the "Fcderal
bunch To make hlackmail permanent
factor in the political operations of the
state, First, the liquor interests and
brewers were blackmailcd under Il
threat of prohibition. Then prohibi
tion was abandoned when the hush mon
ey was paid. Now the coal dealers are
threatened with tho law, and the rail
roads with commission unless they
will pay TO "thc gang such money as
may be desired The first bIackmail
scheme was not really sensed by the
people of this State. they being entirely
unused TO that kind of "politics -
This one, however, everyone recognizes
on sight for what it really is-black-
mailing lobbery. There is not the
least doubt that few dollars of
hush money would stop the mouth Of
the organ so that not even squeak
would come from it.

De oama'a Famous Voyage,

On tho twentieth OF November, l4'i,
Nasca de Cana doubled the Cape OF Gooa

tory-not on account OF the discovery
OF that cape, which had heen made some
fifteen years arlier. but from the solu~
tion of an important question. whether or
not india could be reached from Europe
by sea.
Columbus had such n trip I'm contem,

America. The Spanish monarch, VINO
first feared and then neglected Columbus,
countenanced these projects which led to

the enterprises by which South Africa
and India were laid open 10 Europeans.
With the assistance OF map OF

steps by which these discoveries were

of Portugal a man gifted far beyond the
average intelligence OF his age, deter

west coast of Africa, by sailing south

first trip was not attended with much
success, but the prince pursued the
scheme for Il number of years
