THE MENACE OF MORMONISM.
In the hearings of the Reed Smoot
case now being conducted by a com-
mittfee of the United States Senate
the witnesses who are in favor of un
seating the Utah senator are endeav
oring to show that the Mormon church
considerably more than a religious
body; that it is in fact a temporal king
dom which provides and executes laws
in conllict with those of the United
States. If this assertion can he shown
by proof to he true it will necessitate
the expulsion of Smoot from the Sen
ate, lint no cry more quickly enlists
sympathy and aid in this country than
that of religious persecution, and the
Mormon defenders have not been slow
in availing themselves of this knowl
edge, hence in the hearings now going
on the opponents of Smoot are stick
ing closely to the issue that the Mor
mon church is really a nation within
a nation, and is in consequence
menace to the welfare of the country
and the government itself, says the
New Orleans States. In discussin
the recent revelations regarding the
power of the Mormon church over its
followers the Pittsburg Gazette says
Frederick M. Smith, a descendant
of the "Prophet,” Joseph Smith, pub
Italics in the Salt Lake Tribune an In
teresting compilation of the writings
and speeches of every head of the
Mormon church, from Brigham Yeung
to the present time, to show their as
sumption of authority over their fol
lowers in material as well as spiritual
matters. By their own words, if lie
has quoted them correctly, their as
sume-! absolute autocracy is proved,
their setting aside of ‘the laws of man’
i etilde shall vote. This power is utiliz-
and their dictation as to how their
ed to extort taxes. In the form of
tithes, and failure to contribute is
followed by confiscation of property, in
defiance of the country's laws. If all
•his ho true no severer indictment of
Mormon church could lie found
ii - representative in the United
■s senate should be expelled. If
not true, the leading newspaper of
Utah should he made to suffer for its
publication. Failure of the Mormon
.imhontie.s to take cognizance of these
charges, presented in concrete form,
will he most significant.”
At the hearings conducted by the
si a.ile committee a year ago suffi
cient evidence was brought out by
tite inquiry to disqualify Smoot from
living as a United States senator,
I hi t there is no reason to believe that
he is in any danger of losing his seat.
The fine Italian hand of Mark Hanna
established an alliance between Mor-
monism and the republican party
which still exists. That alliance gave
the republican organization the sena
torial votes of the Mountain States
and their senators in IS!.*:, and it hold
that advantage today. To unseat
Smoot would he a violation of the
terms of the alliance which the Mor
mon church would resent to the poli
tical Injury of the republican party;
therefore it is safe to predict that no
nutter what the evidence submitted by
tile ipponents of Mormonisnt ntay ho
the Utah senator will hold his seat in
the senate of the United States. The
republican parly may he depended up
on not to do anything that will cost
it the elecltoral votes and the sena
torships of Idaho. Utah and Wyont

One of the latest stories from New
York relating to the Yerkes-Mizner
matter Is to the effect that young Mr.
Mizncr, who married the widow
Yerkes a few weeks ago, has consent
ed to accept $20,000 and -vamoose the
ranch. The story is that he demanded
91,000,000. but that his wife told him
he could take $20,000 and get out, or
. ; he would get nothing. It is difficult
to believe aqy such story. Twt nty

Boston Corners is a stretch of rolling
country which terminates in a bold
headland pierced by a valley which
forms a funnel through which. the
'gales of winter sweep. The locality
is well known to railroad men and
many stories are told hv oldtimers of
incidents occuring where the gorge is
spanned by the Harlem railroad.
As a group of railroad men were
talking over their experiences the oth
er night a heavy limited thundered
by. Old Joe Gonzales, the veteran
engineer, was in the group. When
the roar subsided he remarked: "If it
wasn't so heavy it would leave the
track at the first curve.”
"Reminds me of ilie little dinky cars
they used to have when I started in
breaking years ago, ’cause they were
lifferent. 1 remember when the
were so light they used to blow
off the track."
Tell us, Joe," said George Vos-
gli, of Boston Corners, "of tile time
trie-1 an air ship off the bridge
near Dick Hoyradt's place."
"If I remember,” said Joe, "it was
the Chatham down train on the after
noon of November 22, lS'i'J. The wind
sure was blowing a hurricane at the
Comers. We were crawling along
six miles an hoar when we came down
lo the bridge at Boston Corners. Two
trains had been blowed off there be
fore and the engineer was naturally
ject to the action of the democratic
primary.

Senator Clay will introduce an

Afflicted With Rheumatism.

the wind took
enictl as if the
was compassed
into one blast. I was holding fast to
«* brako whool for dear life. The car
first yielded and toppled off the top of
a thirty-foot embankment. In quick
succession three others followed.
“The subsequent proceedings for an
interval did not interest me. When I
regained my senses I was tied up with
splintered wood, bent and twisted iron,
but barring a few bruises I found my
self all right. The whole train was at
the f«ot of the embankment except the
engine, which stayed in the track. One
boy was ‘killed and six passengers
badly hurt.”
“Three times trains have been
blown from the track at that spot,” re
marked George Vosburgh. “The first
time I was a young lad. The wind
was terrific and with it a heavy rain
vas falling. Three cars were lifted
from the track and rolled over and
down the bank.
“The second accident was a freight
train, and I think one man was killed.
When the ihir<l accident happened
they offered $10 to any one who would
ride to Millorton with the news. I
had a cracking good young colt and
hitched him up and started. The air
was full of rails and the horse and I
obth had to dodge some. But I made
it all right and got the $10. Cars
were tight then. It isn't likely such
an accident would occur with cars of
steel and vestibuled trains.”—Pough
