The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-11-09
HOW 1T RAVES!

Our mild-mannered, organic morning
contemporary had word for THE HERALD
and several for its patrons and readers yes
terday morning. This is gratifying. 1t is
so rarely of late that that publication has
referred to this paper, that we had really
begun to fear that something was wrong;
and when, at the rare intervals when the
thing was done at all, it was done in such
mild-mannered and altogether subjective
way-with none of the arrant knavery and
intuitive blackguardism without which
it seems to dwindle, peak and pine-we be-
came sure that somebody had taken of one
of its nuts and wheel was thereby miss
ing.
But the article headed at Us See
About 1t" in yesterdays issue sets
everything dead to rights once more.
The wheel is recovered, or at least the
vehicle has regained its normal equipoise.
The article has the good old ring
to it - the ring and the resonance
which used TO emanate from its anvil when
such sledge-hammer blows as unfolding
houses of prostitution and other civilizing
agencies were being dealt by it. This style
of thing had been nearly overlooked and
quite forgiven, when itself brought the
whole subject up again and made US against
our will once more realize what a nauseous
thing it is when it makes a special display
of its peculiar talent in that direction.
AS to what extent, and how, the Peoples
party believe in free government, perhaps
their declarations of principle and acts at
this time are safer guide than anything
that has been or can be said from the pulpit
or by the press. Does the organ seek to
bind anybody or any cause by what their
predecessors have done in different line Of
life! If so, itself can be convicted of lying,
hypocrisy, knavery, deceit, SANDER, villif-
cation, treason, rebellion, cowardice, double
dealing, treachery and all-round rascality
every time it opens its unsymmetrical
vocal cavity. The advice implicitly given
to The HERALD to Ego slows would seem,
in connection with that branch of the sub
ject to be something that might be stored
up for home consumption.
For fact, as the organ states land facts
from such source are jewels rare and
radiant), THE HERALD did neglect to add
W us CIGdLlOu VI JIG uISG pam VI ILc
Peoples platform the words-"Not as the
supreme court of the United States but as
our chief priests construe it." The reason
it did not add these words is two-fold-
first, they did not occur to us, and secondly,
they would not have fit and therefore been
grossly out of place if such suggestion
had crept in upon the writer's thinking
faculty. The organ then goes on to say
that 'In the next paragraph THE HERALD
becomes entirely luny and forgets that in
this, as in all other territories and states,
the federal courts are supreme, and that if
necessary the whole power of the govern
ment must be called out to protect them
and enforce their processes. The army
was not sent to support the marshal until a
gun store in Ogden had been stripped by
the Saints of its arms, and the detail
Of troops was made solely in the
interests of peace" In view of the
fact that the paragraph referred to
contained nothing which the quotation in
sinuates it did, and that therefore the al
legation of forgetfulness is very stupid
case of coniuring up subject to talk
against, perhaps it is as well to dismiss
that particular portion of the article with
out abiding to it further than to say that
if this paper did not think, as intimated,
that the courts had the power Of the gov
ernment behind them, and were not in ad-
dition to that entitled inherently to a GER
tain respect, its treatment of some OF them
in the past would have been greatly differ
ent to what it was, for assuredly we have
looked upon the bench in this territory at
different times as being standing reproach
to the civilization of the age-it was occu-
pied by men who knew so little of law,
logic, ethics, philosophy, religion, etiquette,
grammar or photography. There have
been some Republican judicial toad
stools foisted upon us at different
times whose procedure made the
unskillful laugh and the iudicious grieve
and yet this paper has always respected
them while in their places because of the
said places. 1t is useless to try to misin-
terpret US on that point; we know what be-
longs to the Judiciary, and act upon the
knowledge much more becomingly than |
does the paper which lashes the court and |
everything pertaining to it because it rem
ders a decision at variance with the papers |
political predictions.
The article referred to closes with the |
choice moroccan: 'Of course the |
carpet Dagger is noticed. He can stand it, |
but can THE HERALD afford to abuse him! |
Why except for him and his money The |
HERALD would have starved to death |
years ago, and his greatest sin is
that he has kept so malformei and per-
verified creature alive" We should say,
in confirmation of the above statement, that
the carpet Dagger can stand being noticed
in these columns. 1t is when he is noticed
in the columns of the organic concern that
ne has real occasion to squirm. THE
seeks to give proper impressions
and tell the truth regarding everybody,
the gentlemen with the portable property
In doing this it neither fawns
upon nor maligns them because Of differ
