KNAVEs OR FOOLS.

The HERALD is really sorry for some
OF its contemporaries those who are
worrying over the probability" of the
admission of Utah to the Union of
States. To read these papers one would
be excused for believing their editors
regarded themselves first and the ma
ton in great danger. But when these
scribblers write about bargains with
Democrats" political conspiracies, :"
the employment of 1.-The Mormon sack, I"
and so on, to make Utah State, they
write like fools or knsves, and their
twaddle becomes very wearisome. VS.
don't believe there is a man in Utah
WHO entertains the faintest hope that
the Territory will be admitted to the
Union in the near future. We don't
b ,lieVe there is man in Wash
iagton, Congressman, official or
obbyist. who thinks for q
moment that Statehood will be con-
ferred on Utah by the present or the
succeeding Congress. We don't be-
lieye there is man in or out of Con-
gress who is doing anything looking to
the immediate admission of the Terri
tory. And We don't believe there are
many men who are going to worry
whether Utah continues q Territory
one, five or ten years. Utah is doing
very well. She has fairly good govern
ment, and Congress appropriates about
100000 year for the privilege of max
ing laws for the Territory and giving
the President the right to name the
officers to enforce those laws. True, it
is very severe on the people to have this
SORT of thing continue, but the citizens
OF Utah will bravely round up their
shoulders and mantully = deavor to
endure the inficti u. We would all
like it better If Congress would double
the appropriation and thus relieve US
entirely from taxation, but We can't ex-
pect everything, you know.

DESERVES HANGING.

The Boise CORES pondsnt of the Cald-
well Tribune is running the risk of be-
ing lynched by the Idaho Legislators
THE HERALD correspondent, in the
mildest kind of terms, intimated the
possibility that the solons might not
compare favora5ly with Webster, Clay
Lincoln and Edmunds in the matter of
Legislative ability; he incidentally re
marked that he had seen an empty
bottle or two in the lobby, and said
something about strange and awk-
ward physical mslformation of the
hands turning backwards, and for these
innocent and playful remarks he was
literally bounced from the house; and
the members didn't even present him
with chrome. Now comes the Tribune
correspondent, and with his pen dipped
in gall, records that:
After an exciting session of seventeen
days, the honorable Idaho Legislature aG-
journed last Thursday for the holidays
Ihe work accomplished during this period

/. Triumph6ntly V1nQlcated themselves
from the attacks of a correspondent.
2. Memoriahzed Congress protesting
against the admission of Utah as a Slate
3. Resolved, that We are not q 'rump.'"
Now, we suggest that if THE HERALD
scribe's offsnss merited expulsion, the
Tribune deserves nothing less than
lynching, especially as the latter goes
on to say, in a most sacrilegious
m Ter, that
This is pretty fair showing for seven
teen days, far better than was anticipated
1t is no small job for the average Legisla-
ture to give itself decent coat of white
wash, let alone the almost superhuman
task of placing itself outside of the rump"
category. They have well earned vaca-
ton
But what strikes the average mind as
queer is the apparent interest our solons
take in the affairs of Utah, and the lack of
interest taken in Idaho affairs. If the
people of Idaho elected men to the LegisIa-
tdre 10 indulge in such political clap trap
as the following, our confidence in the in
telIgence of the masses is misplaced.
Resolutions will be entirely to mild
for this fellow. Hemp or rawhide alone
will answer in his case.
