It has been an interesting battle here in Utah to date. Like the czar of Russia, Czar Smoot has been making a holy war. Like the mikado of Japan, Mikado Kearns has been making a battle for existence and something else in sight. Away last October Mikado Kearns sent in a number of torpedo boats and blew up the Smoot warships at the city convention. And then the forces of Czar Smoot succeeded in laying Port Knox in ashes on election day. A pitched land battle with all armies engaged was expected last week at the Republican primaries. But Jhe clever generals of the mikado, not being yet prepared for final battle, concluded to practice strategy; and when the czars army arrived at the scene of conflict there was no enemy in sight. And under the cover of this feint, the soldiers of the mikado are supposed to be entrenching themselves in impregnable places; while it is thought that the armies of the czar, led on by undue confidence, may go far enough from their base of supplies to fall an easy prey to the smaller forces.' In the Orient, the czar has the greater number; but the mikados generals have shown the greater skill. It is reported in the press dispatches that the Russian commissariat is not. ably handled; that the soldiers go hungry and naked and perish for want of substance and shelter. No such complaint is uttered concerning the mikado's army. So it is in Utah. The czars army here, animated by religious zeal, is ready to suffer almost even martyrdom in the cause; but after all there is nothing more encouraging to the soldier than hearty food, proper clothing and comfortable shelter and the czar does not keep his comissariat up to the magnitude of his forces in the field; while the mikado in Utah takes a personal interest in seeing that his soldiers are properly fed and clothed and housed and not only does he furnish to them the creature comforts, but he invariably decorates them for personal bravery in the cause. Czar Smoots army, as stated, numbers more men; but it is not homogeneous. Mikado Kearns' army is a compact and yet a mobile body, entirely animated by one thought the glory of the mikado and the reward of patriot ism to his cause. In the confidence of numbers lies Czar Smoot's danger. It would not surprise the . war correspondents who are watching this controversy to see the mikado's generals draw the czars forces into .some tremendous ambuscade and shoot them down like the Tibetans were shot the other day by Col. Younghus band. But whether there shall be successful abuscade, or whether the battle must be fought out 'in the open, there is no likelihood that a decisive controversy can be deferred longer than this falls convention. Then we will know who is the ruling power in this neck of the earths surface mikado or czar. . BRYAN AND THE BENNETT CASE. The unreasonable opponents of Hon. William J. Bryan opponents within and without the Democratic party are giving currency to the idea that he is in some sense discredited A case.by his action in the Bennett will more unjust inuendo was never directed at a public man. The testator Philo Bennett, was a devoted friend and admirer of William J. Bryan. Mr. Bennett had wealth and desired to leave a small part of it to aid the work to which he rave money and sympathy in his life time, and or the success of which he entertained a most ardent sympathy up to the hour of his death. To no other hands could he commit ,be bequest as confidently as to the hands of That he chose his own way of ffr. Bryan. directing the payment of the money is not to reflect at all upon the intention which he had making the bequest. It is noticeable that there has not been a serious charge that Mr. Bennett did not intend to convey certain sums of money to Mr. Bryan in trust. What then is the justification for the charges of discreditable action to Mr. Bryan. He is simply seeking to carry out the purpose, and the undisputed purpose, of his friend. It is his bounden duty. He would he a poor friend and a poor trustee should he refuse in he face of a clearly expressed wish of a testa-o- r, to seek by every legal means to make that wish effective. The law may hold that the method chosen by Mr. Bennett was not a correct one; but in morals Mr. Bryan should be applauded for )raving the antagonism of enemies and the - The sound of guns on the alu, the roar of bursting' mines and shattering torpedoes in the Yellow Sea are drowned to us of Utah by the thunder of the big guns between the Kearns and Smoot forces of the Republican party. There is a striking similarity between the two great wars; that of the Orient and that of this state. Across the Pacific both of the contending powers want to hog it all. Here in Utah Czar Smoot and his friends are determined that he shall not only have one but that Mikado Kearns shall not have the other; and on his part Mikado Kearns insists that the czar shall keep out of neutral territory and give the mikado and his people a misunderstanding of unthinking friends in order to make effective the desires of his associate entertained in life and one of the last thoughts of that associates earthly existence. It shows to what vicious lengths partisanship and personal dislike may go, when a man of spotless personal character and exalted purposes, like Mr. Bryan, can be criticised and defamed simply because he seeks to do what any other honorable man in the world would do in fulfillment of the dying request of another good man. 1 It looks very much as if Apostle Heber. J. Grant will never fall into the clutches of Mr. Charles Mostyn Owen. Charles started, a warrant after Heber at Salt Lake; but Heber got to Boston. Charles started the reporters after Heber at Boston; but Heber got to Liverpool. Charles started a sensation after Heber; but Heber was appointed delegate to the conference on school hygiene in Bavaria. Charles tried to start the German ambassador after Heber; but the German ambassador declined to engage in the chase. At the present writing the bets ought to be about sixty to one on Heber. . 1 News comes to the Salt Lake Tribune rect from New York that Tammany is likely to fight the nomination of Alton B.
