SHOULD GET AN EXPERT.

Mayor Gaynor OF New York appears
to be suffering from the same timid anx-
lcty among his doctors that was copsplc-
uous in the case of President Garfield
and Of President Mckinley. The doc
tors appear TO be afraid to do anything,
anxious to let things 90 without prob
ing, without extracting the ball, with
out giving the patient any pain. The
result In the case Of the Presidents
named was death, Probably death in
the case of President Mckinley was
inevitable. We doubt very much whcth-
or 1T was SO in the case of President
Garfield.
We believe that there is in every i'm
portant and well established mining
camp In all these mountains. at least
one surgeon who would have the nerve
and the skill to tackle such a case as
Mayor Gaynor IS or President Garfield $,
and deal with it successfully These
surgeons may not have the high repute
that some Of the New York surgeons
have, but they have the skill, the fear
lessness, the nerve, the experience They
are not afraid to deal with any sort of
wound, and as rule they deal with
the most shocking wounds successfully.
If Mayor Gaynor wishes to have a thor
ough, nervy and skillful investiga tion
of his wound, and the extraction of the
ball ID case it ought to be extracted, he
had better send to some of these west
ern mining camps and get surgeon
who is used to dealing with bullet
wounds and who could go and in a
day determine his case, treat it success
fully, and give him a good recovery.
AS it is, it makes one weary to read Of
the timid, weak, reluctant dealing with
the case that one finds in the dispatches

ACCOUNTING IS CLEARLY DUE

In view Of the fact that one Of the
high ecclesiasts in whom they placed
financial trust has been proved guilty
of wrongdoing. are not confiding Nor
mons led into some thought that SINH
lar wrongs may be perpetrnted against
them under circum stances where there
is no present possibility of getting at
the facts?
When a man in the high church po-
sition occupied by Apostle Senator Reed
Smoot testifies concerning the tithing,
''of course, know little about that, -
and 81 am only telling you just what
have heard indirectly it is evident
that the common tithepayer of the
church stands no possible chance Of
learning what becomes Of his money 1t
is true that there is an alleged audit
ing committee that is said to examine
the church accounts, and TO report
their findings TO the conference; but,
as heretofore shown by The Tribune,
IL is impossible for that committee to
reach the facts. In order to do that it
would be necessary for that committee
| to be constantly employed at the
work all the year round. AS it is, the
gentlemen composing it merely take
the word of the tithe manipulators that
everything is o. k and repeat chat
word to tho conference. There is no
accounting whatever in the right and
accepted meaning Of that term. Every
thing is dark and suppressed under the
pretense that men holding the high
priesthood may be blindlv trusted WITT
| implicit confidence pretense that
has been rudely shattered in the rast
few days.
There may be no wrong in the
method of dealing with the tithes, but
there is vast opportunity for wrong
It may be that everything connected
with the receipt and expenditure of
tithe moneys is straight, but there is a
strong chance that there is crooked
ness No man is perfect. and when
we come to contemplate the Mormon
chiefs and their daily lives-perversi-
! ties as testified TO by tbemselves-it

SHOOTS COWARDICE.

When Reed Smoot was testifying in
his own case at Washington he an
swered few questions with respect to
his personal attitude toward polygamy;
but we shall endeavor to show that his
replies did not properly represent his
sentiment as expressed in his actions.
Here are the questions and answers
(volume Of the record, page 205):
Mr. Worthington.-It is next said that
apostles encourage polygamy and polyga-
nous coha bitation. Do your
Senator Smoot.-I do not
Mr.. Worthington.-Tha they counte-
nance It. Do you?
Senator Smoot.-I do not,
It. Do you?
Senator Smoot.-I do not
Mr.. Notwithstanding they connive
at It. Do you?
Senator Smoot.-I do not
Elsewhere in his testimony, however,
Mr., Smoot admitted that he had made
no protest against those who practiced
polygamy and polygamous eoha bita
tion; and it is evident, under common
sense reasoning, that thereby he en-
couraged both practices. The same rule
applied TO that conduct proves that he
also thereby countenanced both evils
That he has concealed the fact that
these wrongs exist is evidenced in his
conduct of refusing to say anything
whatever about them, although he is
of them, but to suppress them. If it
can be shown that he encourages. coun-
tenances and conceals polygamy and
polygamous cohabitation, then it neces.
sarily follows that he connlves at these
practices.
Now, it was noticeable fact. for
instance, that when Smoot was deliv-
omng his testimony at Washington he
purposely avoided giving what must
naturally have been his information
upon tho lives of lawbreakers who are
closely associated with him in an &c
clesiasticnl way. There was dispo
sition to evade direct answers to GER
tain questions that evidenced a desire
TO conceal his knowledge, With respect
to Joseph +. Smith, Francis M. Lyman
and John Henry Smith, we desire to
point out that he professed to be igno
rant of their polygamous coba abitation,
although knowing full well that they
were polygamists He was squirmy in
his statement that he knew from the
testimony Of these men that they had
lived in defiance of the law up to the
date Of their testifying. because they
had said so, but that he knew nothing
about what they had been doing since.
He could at least have said that their
conduct as already confessed 10 by
themselves was sufficient evidence to
it, but he was so cowardly that he
would not speak the truth lest he of
fend the authors of his political be-
ing, who could blot him out Of political
existence in case Of affront to them.
Another thing with respect to Reed
Smoot that should not be forgotten, is
the fact that Senator Albert ]. Hop
kins of Illinois promised upon his Sen
atorial word that Smoot would ono day
come out plainly in opposition to polyg-
amy because he was a representative Of
the higher order of Mormonism. We
have waited some years for such pro-
rouncement, but he remains silent, pre-
ferring TO encourage, countenance, con-
ceal and counive at polygamy and
polygamous living than to endanger his
rolitical chances. His attitude is de
cidedly that of an untruthful man and
coward.
