The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1877-07-19

TASSERrEs. = Since Mr.. Alfred
Smith and Hon. John Hancock have
taken steps to establish tanncry on
the bank of the nver, east of the Ave
nue., they have encountered, naturally,
some oPpoeition from citizens in that
part of the city, who assert, and no
doubt cOnscientiously believe, that the
establishment Of such business would
depreclate the value of their property
and render that part OF the city unin-
viting and obnoxious. Tins is gues-
ton about which a good deal Can be
said en- both sides, and about which
10 final decision will perhaps ever be
made. II must be admitted that no
town can ever become q city of any
great Importance without manufacto-
ries, and the towns that get such en-
terprises. must allow them TO locate
somewhere. That the smell from tan
neries and paper mills, the noise from
planning and grist mills, the smoke
from foun1ries, furnaces and gas estab-
iishments, ice and cloth factories, etc.,
are offensive to some will not be DE-
.,ied but still we cannot do without
. Establishments of the kind, and they
must be allowed to locate somewhere.
In Pittsburgh ladies cannot walk the
streets the second time in the same
white dress unless it has been put
through wash tub and q patent
wringer, because of the smoke from the
iron and coal mills, and yet Pittsburgh
could not thrive without those institu-
tons, and there the ladies walk the
streets just as they do elsewhere, and
what some suffer from the smoke, the
din and the rattle, is gained by wash
erwomen, dealers in lily white and the
commercial men of the place. Ia near
ly every large city, whole districts are
almost entirely monopolizsd by man-
ufactories, and often packefits that
''smell to heaven" are located where
thousands live and throng. 1t is alto
gether probable that the lower part of
Austin along the river front will soon
er or later be given up to manufacture
ing purposes-indeed, a pretty good
start has been made in this way al
ready. And while those who own
property there now may for ime su3-
tain some loss and inconvenience, yet
in the long run they may be pccuniari-
ly benefited by growing demand for
ground d4whlch to establish mills and
manufactures. Possibly they may not |
lose a dollar from the beginning. for
while some people would not desire
to rent houses in that locality, others
would. Certainly operatives would
not hesitate to rent houses near their
business. Every city in the Union has
tanneries, foundries, mills and maru
factories of all descriptions, and Aus
tin should not reject them. Indeed,
we cannot afford to do it.

We print this morning from Trustworthy
and GjsWssionatc correspondent who is upon
the sDct a clear estimate OF the present diff
cultcs and the probable dangers in Utah.
There have been so many rumoEs Of impcnd-
ing troubles there that the reader will be
thankful for a distinct and cool statement OF
the exact condition of Mormon affairs; and
upon the whole we think il viii be agreed
that The facts as given 10y cur informant are
somewhat encouraging. The stories OF mill
tary preparation on the part Of the Saints are
resolved into something very far from alarm
ing. The old Nauyco Legion, which was
dis5andcd in 1870 by Gov. Shailer and OK
listed under an old Territorial law, may have
kent up soIt Of limited lie in certain dis
tant localities, but at salt Lake, according to
our correspondent there has been nothing of
the kind. There has been some drilling by
might or day, in some hall, and by the young
men, but 1t "haS not been worth noticing
The leaders Of tine Mormon Church know that
resistance to constituted authority would be
the hight Of folly.
The uneasy feeling consequent upon Lees
execution which has doubtless existed among
the Momons has produced a corresponding
excitement among the GcntilcS. His followers
fear that Young Is to he dealt with as Lee
was. But our correspondent does not apprc-
lcnd that Young will be indicted; and he
thinks that if he should bc, he would quietly
submit to arrest, as he has done upon pre-
yious occasion. This question of submission
has already it would appear been discussed
by Mormon "caucus" with no great unanim-
ity of opinion; it was decided, however, that
submission would be The more polite. But
there are in loung's party those whose pas
sions he might find it difficult to restrain.
When he was imprisoned a thousand admirers
and disciples accompanied him TO the pCnitcn-
tiary. In the event Of his trial and conyic-
ton for murder, there might he some danger
of a fanatcal outbreak, and additional troops
might be needed in Utah. But this is an event
which our correspondent does not apprchcnd.
He has grave doubts whether evidence can be
had sufficient to convince hi, followers Of
Yolnss guilt, and if he were punished there
might be trouble. But the chances Of lns III
djcmcut this observer regards as small.
We are assured in this letter that there is
no extraordinary danger Of violent events in
Utah at this time, and that those who wish
10 visit it, either for business or pleasure, may
do so without apprehension. The conflict be-
tween Asia and America, as our correspondent
expresses it, is going on and viii 20 on until
" Asia is beaten" but there have been times
when the danger Of violent outbreak WIS
much greater than at present These are the
encouraging views Of a loO.cr-on who has 10
reason whatever for not stating the truth; and
as such We commend them to the attention Of
those who are disposed, perl,ap, unnecessarily
to be alarmed by the complication OF affairs
in Utah.

department is still earnestly engaged in the
