KNOX WINS IN NICARAGUA.

The dispatches show that Estrada
is triumphant in Nicaragua. He has
dispersed The army Of the government
and Dr. Madrlz, the successor of Ze-
laya IN the presidency, is deposed, 1t
does not seem that he followed the ex-
ample Of Iolaya in fleeing from the
country, but be may yet find it neces.
sary TO do so to save his life.
The news on 1.-The face of the re-
turns credits Estrada with this vic
tory. but the victory is in fact the vie.
tory of Secretary Knox of he State
Department. 1t was he who put
strength and courage into the insur.
rection by dismissing with contumeli
Gus words the Minister of the Mica
raguan Government, and proclaiming
that the Estrada cause represented bet
ter the feelings and desires of the Mic
araguan people than did the Zelayan
government then in power. This it was
that gave spirit and nerve to the Es
trada cause, for il enabled Estrada TO
proclaim and to prove that the great
Republic OF the north was with him.
The particular interest of the world
at large in the matter will be in the
restortion of peace and order, aud in
the cessation of blood-lctting The low
ers OF humanity can unite on the prop
osition that it is desirable that gov.
ernment be established there which
will be so supported by the people that
law and order will prevail under its
administration, 1t has been evident
for a long time, III fact ii was evident
from the day of the declaration made
by Secretary Knox, that Estrada must
win If he were not killed in the fights
that were sure to come. And so it is
an American victory in spite of the
fact that Estrada will get the benefit
of it and the credit for it. 1t would
have been advisable if this result
could have been brought about sooner
than 1t was, but in this interference
with Latin American republics Ger.
tain propriety must be claimed even If
1t is not entirely observed, and time
must be given for sentiment to do its
perfect work.

ANOTHER ELDrR IN PIETY,

1t may be that he will feel lonesome
in being thus singled out for "honor.
able mention as worthy Of listing with
the other new polygamists; but we must
plead TO him that his case has only iust
now come to our attention.
Elder Peter Fohlin has supplied
another case in which lie piles up evl.
dence that Mormon missionaries who go
to Denmark seem TO have habit of
bringing home the damseI necessary TO
the fulfillment of their polygamous de-
sires. 1t was in the year 1896 that he
went to his native land 10 "preach the
gospel. 1t appears that there is n
close polygamous connection given as
between the terms preaching the gos.
peI'' and "living your religion" " among
she Melchisedeks. Because in doing the
irst Elder Fohlin appears to have found
means for doing the latter in the high.

FIRES PITIFUL RAVAGES.

The reports which come from the
north of devastations by forest Gres in
the panhandle OF Idaho and in portions
of Montana, are frightful in the ex-
treme. 1t is pitiful indeed to read of
people by the hundred being cncircled
in wall of fire and their realization
that escape is impossible.
Terrible is all of that news. 1t is
pitifnl TO read of such destruction of
life and such hopeless raging of the un.
resisted flames In fact it appears that
nothing except a good soaking rain will
put out those fires. The efforts of hu
manity TO control forest fires are puny
and feeble at best There is nothing
IN the ordinary line OF frefghting that
is of the least avail in such n task
Nothing can be done practically. espe.
clally as there is no euginery compe
tent to meet the case. Nothing but
thorough dreDchlng of the forest and
the meeting of the flames with torrents
of water, which no known enginery is
sufficient to provide, would stop a forest
fire. The rains that happen are de.
pended upon in such case. and they
appear in fact TO be the only remedy
1t would be appropriate, therefore. to
hope and 10 pray for rain TO quench
these horrible fires that are making such
devastation and ruin in northern Idaho
and Montana.
In this connection it might not be
amiss to suggest that il would have
been far better If the people of that
northern country had been allowed to
cut Off all the timber as they needed it
without interference by the forestry
service. Then, when they needed for.
ests again they could have planted them
and arranged for their protection 4
guarded. cultivated forest is never a
menace to the people: but natural for
est through which fires can sweep nm
checked is a menace far beyond any
thing that can be conceived Of in the
total cutting away of all the natural
growth of trees, Far better destroy the
forests than have the forests such n
terrible and wholesale menace to human

WESTERN PACIFIC SPECIAL.

The Salt Lake delegation on the
Western Pacific special which has gone
through from this city to San Francisco
appear to have had most enjoyable
time. The people all along the line
were out In force to welcome this train
and rejoice at the opening OF traffic
over the line, and those who rejoice on
this opening make no mistake. This road
Will be tremendous factor in the
upbullding of commercial relations and
IN fostering the growth of population,
manufactures, and commerce.
Some complaint is made that the Salt
Lakers did not have along with them
a sufficient amount of literature to show
forth the advantages of Salt Lake and
Utah; but inasmuch as those represen-
tatlves OF this city and of Utah are
pretty good takers themselves, and
were well stored with information, and
since the general public is pretty we'll
informed as to the eminent advantages
IN every way of this city and of Utah in
general, the shortage of literature can
by tins much cease to be deplored. BY
The time the representa- tives of Salt
Lake City get through with talking to
any individual or delegation, that in
lividual or delegation would be pretty
apt to think there was hardly any other
place on the map than Salt Lake.
And so we are not in the least dis.
posed TO Join those who mourn for the
ack of boost literature on that train.
Ind we congratulate the road and the
party on Its excellent service and on
;he glorious time that all concerned
nave had the opportunity TO enjoy,

A STORY OF INFAMY,

Under the caption, "Marry Mothers
and Daughters and appearing else
where in this issue, is a brief commu-
nication from subscriber to The Trib
une
1t is not a pleasant work to either
print or rccite such stories of infamy;
but it appears to be necessary to give
them publicity in order to apprise the
Mormon peoples of the grossness into
which the polygamous system drags
men and women. Our subscriber names
several cases in which Mormon elders
have married widows and their daugh.
tcrs, and have lived with ard reared
children by both at the same time
These are not the worst instances that
could be called into discussion, how
ever, A few cases are known wherein
men have married a woman, then her
widowed daughter, and then the daugh-
ter of the widowed daughter by her
former husband. Perhaps an equally
bad circumstance, considered from an
other point of view, was where two ell
ders living neighbors in d Southern
Utah settlement actually bargaiped
between themselves to exchange daugh
ters as polygamous wives. In the midst
Of it all the crime of incest has some
times crept in to an alarming extent,
completing Il situation reeking of filth
mess that would bring death to the per
petrators even in race that knew
nothing but savagery and barbarism.
Because even among such peoples there
are rough governing rules or laws that
draw the dead line at some of the in
famles practiced under the Mormon
polygamcus system.
1T is a fearful thing to contemplate
that such a condition could exist in
a civilized Nation; but it never could
have obtained foothold here had it not
been for the evil minds of Mormon
leaders and the total prostration Of the
Mormon people to the edlets issuing
from those evil minds through the
mouths Of their bogus prophets.
But the final question is, why not put
Il stop to it all now, once and foreverl |
