vile and unhealthy, bigoted, blinded
prejudice, actually made q matter OF
shame.
There seems to be a considerable diff
ference of opinion as to, the words
President Cleveland actually used IN
his inaugural regarding the Mormons.
He did not use the word suppressed,
he said .repressed." The words have a
vastly different meaning, but whether
any inference is to be drawn from the
fact remains to be seen. His words
were "Polygamy in the Territories, de-
structive of the family relation and
offensive to the moral sense of the
civilized world, shall be repressed."
There is not doubt about it. am
Internationally fascinated with that
ancient darling, of almost equal date
to Susan B-giddy Kitty Field-as the
frequent references to her will indicate.
Since her lecture, nothing has been
heard of the dear. She expected to
make her everlasting reputation out of
the lecture in Washington, but it must
have been q pronounced allure for her
lecture agents dare not set her afloat.
They have been guilty of stating they
were afraid to send her out west. A
certain, very popular lady lecturer was
tod by Miss Fields agents that they
would give her d chance to reply to
Miss Field-that is if Miss Field made
any notoriety: but she did not make
any breeze, and hence no response was
necessary.
An exchange says: "Miss Kate Field

is important enough to demand their
attention they will pay very little at
tention to it.
The New York World, of the 18th, has
this: Miss Kate Field is now suffering
from a severe cold, due probably to her
exposure of the Mormon iniquity, but
it will take some time for her to recover
from the extravagant statement that
within forty years Brigham Young's
immediate descendants have increased
fro twelve to fifteen thousand.
Senator ingalls, has always been a
strong anti-Mormon member OF the
Senate. yet he has been given to talking
sense once in while. The Republican
members of the Senate from the emil
nent the unimpeachable Edmunds down
through the whole cOterie. including
the lesser prostitute from Massachusetts,,
have freely confessed that they did not
care d-n for the Constitution in deal
ing with the Mormons. "The people
demanded that something shall be
done," said the great statesman Ed
munds, land we have got to do it
whether it is constitutional or not" and
they did it. But to ingalls,. Recently,
when the Senate was considering the
dynamite resolution introduced, ingalls,
perforated on the injustice and the fatal
effects of hasty legislation. He said
that following all unjust and illegal
legislation, or measures adopted to APP
pease the passions of the hour, it might
be invisible. but silent and stern and
inevitable, like an avenging Nemesis
stood the unfailing law of retribution,
which would wroak its vengeance on
those who had been guilty of violating
the rights of humanity. The remarks
were truly eloquent, were full of philo-
sophical truth and warning, but it does
seem strange that neither he nor the
other great statesmen, who didn't give
d-n for the Constitution, could not
have thought the same when they were
against their fellow citizens,
members of a common country whose
destiny was of like importance to them
all. He could, however, be pathetic, |
hlled with a moving spirit when the !
people of a foreign country were affect
ed: II there is anything the American |
politicians knows more about than any |
thing else, it is political trickery, char
latanry, and the mountebank business. |
The dictionaries duse to define a politi-
clan and rate him as statesman, but |
there is no fool so great nowadays as
would intimate that the terms were
synonymous. The politician of to-day
is defined as zone versed in devoted to |
politics; man of artifce or cunning"
That tells the story.
ALI the Utah Office hunters have or
seem to have skipped. Board bills with
out any reasonable prospects of office
are hardly consistent with human
nature.
Colonel Sam. Merritt is here again.
Hon. f. S. Richards is expected on
Monday. WANDERER.
