UNEVEN JUSTICE.

In the House Of Representatives on
Friday, Representative E. r. Bathrick
of Ohio arraigned the Attorney Gen.
eral Of the United States, declaring
that "the majesty of the law must be
upheld when man steals a loaf of
bread, but when great criminals have
been convicted before the Supreme
Court, our Attorney General sits BY
and says he will wait until some con-
venlent time to institute proceedings
for the enforcement of law and or.
der.'
There appears to be a sentiment
shaping in Washington decidedly to the
disadvantage of Attorney General
Wickersham. He is accused of a great
many things, and although he retorts
by proclaiming that those who assail
him are liars, there appears to be suf
fcient basis of substance in the mat
ters alleged to cause the House to in
vestigate the charges.
In the meantime, however, it is
worth while to note that it is not the
Attorney General who is plainly at
fault in court proceedings, but Judges
OF the courts at times, to a degree al
most passing belief An instance is
given editorially by the Boston Globe
as follows:

THE SMITHS INTERVIEWED.

| We print in other columns this morn
ling the interviews between President
Joseph F. Smith and Apostle John
Henry Smith, as published in the Port
land Oregonian of July Goth. The in
terview with President Smith is Of gen.
eral interest, as giving roughly the
history of the efforts in Utah from the
first TO raise sugar. President Smith
says that the sorghum plan failed, and
SO 1t did so far as sugar was concerned;
but for great many years it was an
important element In the production of
Utah for the making of molasscs. Pres
ident Smith shows a very high appre-
citation OF Mr.. Havemeyer, the late
head Of the Sugar Trust, which is an
admiration very much misplaced, ac-
cozding to the Investigations now being
made Claude Augustus Spreckels told
how Havcmeyer, then head Of the
American Sugar Trust, bought out the
Spreckels refneries, paying s2,225, 900
for them, and unloading them on the
company OF which he was in control
for s5,000.000. This was a clear conf
dence game, an extortion for his own
benefit, put through by himself and
for himself, because he was able to do
it through the position which he held in
the company on which he unloaded. 1t
is difficult indeed TO see how President
Joseph F. Smith can get up the ndmira-
tion he does for Mr.. Havemeyer.
Further considering the sugar busi-
ness in Utah, President Smith speaks
Of prices. and OF the enhanced cost of
chickens, hogs, and live stock generally, |
and of vegetables, farm produce, and
food stuffs of al kinds, and says that |
'the price OF sugar still remains sub
'tantially at the same figure. " That
s, 1t has increased about one third, or
rom $3.50 per hundred pounds to $780,
although other things have increased
ar more. And yet the most interesting
,art Of this general enhancement of
,rices President Smith has left out al-
ogether. That Is the fact that the
ocal sugar trust company pays the
armers who raise beets Just about the
anne old price, $3.50 per ton, that it
aid in the first place. There has been
o enhancement OF price here, although
e admits that other prices generally
ave raised. It would be interesting to
ave President Smith explain to the
eet raisers of Utah why it is that in
he general raised prices they have not
hared.
President Smith tells of the help
hich the church extended to tho Lehi
eet sugar company, and which has re-
ilted so proftably; this substantially
5 he told it recently on the stand in
7ashington And it is clear that he
'oks upon the sugar trusts, both the
liz one and the local one, as beneficial
to the people. In this the
merican people do not follow him, and
Is difficult to see how, on ecoonmic
rounds, the people in Utah can follow {

Apostle John Henry Smith Is interview
does not appear TO have been as in.
genuous as that of President Smith
1t is difficult to follow with any sort
Of patience the statements of Apostle
Smith. He says that since the Supreme
Court held as legal the law prohibiting
plural marriages. 'we, and all the
members of the church, have lived up
to that law. The anti-polygamy law
was passed by Congress in 1862; it was
absolutely disregarded in Utah. The
Reynolds prosecution, first appearing as
voluntary effort to test the consti.
tutionality of the law, but afterwards
turning into determined effort to es-
cape that prosecution, brought a de-
cision from the U. S. Supreme Court
in 1879 that the law was valid. It
was the duty of every one in Utah to
have obeyed that law from the time of
its passage; but under pretense that
the law was unconstitutional. the polyg-
amists here undertaking to decide that
question for themselves. no attention
was paid to il. When the Supreme
Court, seventeen years after the pas.
sage OF the law, decided it to be con
stitutional and effective, John Henry
Smith saws that all the members of
the church obeyed that law But this
is far from true; both the law and
the decision were denounced and con.
temptuously scorned; and the disfran.
chisement Of polygamists by the Ed
munds law of 1882 was met by a coun.
terblast from President Taylor that
none but polygamists should have
preferment in the church.
II is difficult to understand the state
of mind of a man who would make
statement of that kind, unless, indeed
he is misquoted by the reporter. as men
so often claim when they find that
they have 'put their foot in it, To
get at the truth, that statement has to
be taken in reverse.
His statements as to the efforts of
the church 10 stamp out new polypamy

John Henry Smith, the church is stamp.

BUaINESS AND TRADE.

The great and overwhelming ouei-
ness event of the week was the de-
cision on Monday last Of the long
standing railroad rate case. The an
nouncement carried with il tho deter
mination of the big freight cases OF
Salt Lake, Spokane, and Reno. before
tho Interstate Commerce Commission.
The decision WAS strongly in favor OF
Salt Lake and of the other cities. The
long and short haul clause in tho new
law was given explicit interpretation
in favor of the interior shipping points.
The through rate to the coast with tho
return local freight rate added is abso-
lutely done away with. Various esti-
mates as TO the amount which Salt
Lake shippers will save by this de-
cision are given, but all agree that the
amount will be very great, The advan-
tage to the wholesale and jobbing trade
is evident, and the inhabitants of this
city are hopeful that it will be advau-
tageous also to them in their retail pur-
chases
