IHE RE~"S WHY.-S"mc surprise has been
expressed here at the removal Of :. A. Mann
from the Sccrctnryship Of Utah Territory. and
Wilson Of the supreme Court. 4 Silt Lake
correspondent Of the :. +. Chronicle tells
us how it WIS done:
Mr.. Mann came from Ncvadn, where hc had
been the law partner of the Hon. Tom Fitch
IL Is suriniscd that Fitchs speech against the
CuiIom hill brought up the hre.cnters here
and Mt Washington, and Mann being very
qniet and sober citizen, loses his head for
his acquaintance aud friendship for the chiv-
alrOns Tom. BESIDES, Mann, as acting
GoycrE3g, =. .he last session of the Legislature
signed the Womnn's Suffrage hill which was
unthvornhly received nt Washington Mann
WAS victim there. for hc only yielded To the
universal wish Of the Lcgislnturc-his own
Judgment was against it. Judge Wilson has
had no relationship with the fanatics on either
side, has madc no speeches on the Tahcrnncic
fostruIn, nor on the corners of the streets,
ana was consequently attacked by both, and
loses his head. He will return 10 Illinois,
where he left a better position than what he
found here.

Hogs in Utah.

The Mormon Tribune the now movement
organ at Salt Lake, has Il correspondent who
has been figuring out the result of Brigham
YOuns's prohibitory order against the use of
pork. He says:
About two years ago President Young pro-
claimed that hog meat was not good for the
Saints SO his edIct went forth TO the faithful
10 cease using 1t AS All article of diet. So
strenuOusly was this new dogma taught that
know Of one Bishop who cOuuscled a brother
who prided himself on his fine lot of hogs. TO
kill them 'eyen If he hud to bury them. -
The brother refused to obey the counsel and
has continued TO raise hogs ever since, both 10
his pleasure and profit while many Of his
more obedlent neigh bors have 10 purchase for
their use. IL is little curious, to say the
least, that Brigham Young never quit raising
these animals himself. 4 large number OF
fine hogs can be- seen in his yard at any time
and, believe, he even keeps hogs to let. Il
was claimed, however, on the PRONUNCIATION
Of this anti-hog doctrine that in place Of
pork the Saints should eat fish, as that article
Of diet fed the brain to great extent. |
should have thought this fact would have been
an InsuperLbe objection against the use of
hsh, rather thnu recommendation of 1t as IN
article Of diet. II certainly does not reauir,.
much brains to ''dp as you are told ami ask
no questionS;" why then try 10 increase any
body brains IN Utah! ! do not pretend 10
know much about this fish and brain qucs-
tlon. 50 will leave 1t for chemical and physi.
OlDgIcal investigation.
II President loumg's object WIS TO prevent
his followers from using swine flesh then il
has been "A most sgnhl failure; but it has been
very successful III helping to keep them poor
as will show by figures
The writer estimates the value Of the vari-
Gus forms Of pork imported into Utah since
the prohibition against its use at over n half
million dollnrs, which money has gone out of
the Territory for an article which could rs east
ly have been raised at home. "Amicns"
thinks this policy "is enough to ruin Young's
prestige as n iinauc!rr in the estimation of
every thinking man" Perhaps the President
had higher opinion Of the order as a santa
~ measure then ~ financial speculation.
