BILL NYE's WINTER RESORT,
W. nao Of 1924

HUDSON, Wis, Dec. 81, 1884, {
Editor Reporter, Skowhegan, Me-:
A copy of The Reporter has been sent me
recentlywith the following paragraph marked
WHERE WAS ''BILL" NYE BoRN2
Maine has again and again proved that this
is the place to raise men and women, and the
crop by no means diminishes Edgar w. Nye
commonly Ino as "Bill, F" says he was born
in Skowhegen IN a. Who can tell us of his
parentagel
As the item closes with query, l will state
for the benefit of the curious, that Bill Nye
was born in Maine, in 1850, though not in
Skowhegan. AS near as | am able to learn
from my parents, who happened to be present
on that solemn occasion, l was born in the
village of Shirley, in Piscataquis county.
My fathers name was Franklin Nye, man
for whom I have always entertained tho
highest regard. Many is the time he has gone
out of his way to do me favor.
Ny mothers maiden name was Eliza M.
Doring. These historical facts of course, are
of no interest to the general public, but I
write thus fully in order to relieve Skowhegan
of an unjust imputation. If ever said was
bo-l in Skowhegan did not do so malicious
~. 1t was joke
1 would not write this letter were it not for
to blame. Whatever I may have been, /
hope their names will not be in any way mixed
up with it.
Wishing you happy new year, and hoping
that Mr.. Blaine is doing as well as could be ex-
pected. I am sincerely yours,
EDGAR WILSON NYE Bill Nye.)

paper, The London Word, has attracted
universal attention Mr.. Yates made tour
of this country in 1873, and later was the
London correspondent of New York daily.
He is best known as a novelist. In 1874 be
established The World, "a journal for men
and women" which has had most extraor-
binary success. The fearless style he adopted
in his paper has brought him into trouble be
fore, but this is his most humiliating ex-
perience. He edits his paper from the prison,
and the day after his incarceration sold 1901 900
extra copies Of it.

resolutions, especially as the notice
itself contains such language as
the following in speaking Of the COM
mittee which was appointed ''to draft a
series of Resolutions and Protest to the
President of the United States, and to the
nation, in which the wrongs the people Of
this Territory have suffered and are still
suffering, from the tyrannical conduct of
Federal officials, were to be set forth
specifically and in detail" That being
the conception OF the object for which the
committee was appointed, 1t is reasonable
to suppose that the treatment of the mat
ter will be in the same style. 1t is to be
hoped that this supposition is wrong, and
that these mass meetings will be mass
meetings for calm and considerate discus
sion and deliberation. 1t is well and
proper to petition the President and Con-
gress if, after a genuine and fair investi-
cation of matters here as they are, the
conclusion is reached by the masses that
they are suffering from the tyrannical
conduct of Federal officials. If these
meetings shall come to the conclusion
that the laws are valid, although harsh,
will these meetings declare that they will
abide by the laws, and that while some
suffer from them, they will cease to vio-
late them and seek executive clemency,
and the people will stand for law and
order? If this is done, the President and
Congress will have something on which
to act otherwise the probabilities are that
the protest will be read and never con-
sidered. 1t is a solution that the govern
ment wants and not statement; solu-
ton that will relieve the government of
the trouble and necessity of furnishing
one itself. If the mass meetings do not
furnish one, the government will, and it
will be a continuation of the present
tvrannical conduct of the Federal Off
cials in Utah no matter how many pro-
tests may be gotten up. The surrender
will have to come from the people of
Utah this time, and not from the govern
ment. That is the question, and how the
people will answer it is the thing for
which ali are waiting, and Saturday will
furnish it.

WE HAVE always had suspicion con-
cernlng the Chronicle, no matter what
the suspicion is, and we are now con-
firmed in our suspicion. On Saturday
night it published the following editorial
note:
"Why doesn't the Herald improve its
splendid opportunity just presented of
charging the DEMOCRAT with outrageous
lying? The 'S5' said lately that it had
received petition from 5000 or 900
mothers of families, requesting it not to
notice certain newspaper published in
Salt Lake and patronized by limited
circle of readers, known as the Tribune.
Certainly as palpable classification as ever
was uttered; quite discounting the New
York Morning Journal and its living
special telegram in the Arnold case"
There is an apparent Justification in our
article, but it consists in omission rather
than In commission. Instead of reading
5000 or 1000, please insert 10000 or
4O,OOO, and if that seems insufficient. lust
add ciphers until you find out where
truth and discernment begin.

found an epitome Of long and fierce
struggles, struggles that have changed
the face of history and given to nations
new destinies In view OF the approach
ing mass meetings and the question to be
solved in Utah, we think the situation
here, political and ecclesiastical, and the
theories which have brought it about are
exactly told in the language of Pope Inno-
cent III. when he said: GAS the sun and
the moon are placed in the armament.
the greater as the light of the day, and
the lesser of the night, thus are these
two powers in the church-pontifcal,
which, as having the charge of souls, is
greatest; and the royal, which is the less,
and to which the bodies of men only are
intrusted."
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-04-27
TRIBULATIONS AND TRIALS.

The Tribune yesterday morning just
fairly walloped the DEMOCRAT, and the
editor of the paper feels as though he had
been "rebuked" by the great rebuker of
Utah. Just for the benefit of the gentle
men of the Tribune, we would say that we
! quoted from letter and not from con-
versation. The writer OF the letter
charges that the Tribune has INDUCED in
the grossest sectional abuse, and not the
DEMOCRAT, although we think with the
gentleman who wrote the letter that the
Tribune has INDUCED in sectional abuse,
that is, sallies of wit.
And again, as to the things which that
paper has earned by honest work, we do
not lay claim to have any knowledge of
how nor where it got them, but this we do
know, that last winter the manager of one
of the most noted of Utah mines was
solicited by an agent or representative of
the Tribune to give the Tribune an article
on his mine, and the manager said he
NOOAN hOO 0OO hAidG BOOu IL NOulu 10 MS
mine, and the argument used by the
representative was this question: Don't
you think we can do you some hurt?
The manager replied: " If blackmailinp
is your game, all right; L have nothing
more to say" Whether official patron
age has been solicited in the same man
ner we are unable to say.
Now we think that was very liberal
estimate of the value of the services of
the editor of the DEMOCRAT when the |
Tribune said that ait would not have at
any time hired the editor of the DEMO
Graf at his real value, which we gener-
ously estimate at $l3 per week" But to
have made the whole thing complete, the
editor of the Tribune should have added |
that at no time would he have accepted
the nomination for President of the
United States, had he been assured of
election. Why, this very estimate of $13
per week shows that the Tribune thinks
we are equal to four defenders of our
country, when it only claims to be one
defender.
If the Tribune would accept a sugges-
ton from us we shall be happy to make
it. In referring to the DEMOCRAT getting
out, it tells the following as
illustrating our condition. "The bow
says: when / get new handle and a
lew blade in my old knife it will be as
yood as new.'" The story is all right and
he moral good, but this would tell it
'etter, is more euphonious, and not so
'turgid and lumbering:" eff had some
milk, I'd have some mush and milk, if l
lad some mush."
Ii the Tribune will decide a simple
uestion in accord with the best author
y, we shall be glad to follow its lead. Is
mans heart on his right side, his left
de or in the centre of his breast? We
ave looked in Gray, Dalton, Flint and
theirs, but can come to no definite con-
lusion regarding the matter.
