"ACTlyE, PEBSEVERING AND INDUSTRf-
OUSn

0US."
SIN Salt Lake city and Ogden, larg,
number of new and valuable buildings
have been erected. There has been a con
slant tide of immigration pouring int
these two cities, enough to effect, in Og
den, complete political revolution. The
people of this rapidly growing city are &C
tive, persevering and industrious, and de-
serve the success which has come to them
sit is expected that a like political revo
luton will take place in the municipal
election to be held in Salt Lake city in
February next. If this result is accom-,
plished, it will be because of the vigorous
new element which is making its presence
felt in the city, and is putting new life into
all the avenues of business"
No one can be found to doubt the truth
fulness of the governors statement above,
that the Ogden Liberals are, and have been
'active, persevering and industrious" in
increasing the taxes in that city, but we
would like to have the governor rise and
point out wherein they have been active,
persevering and Industrious" in maintain
ing good government and in the Suppression
of crime In view of the fact that it be-
came necessary in order to so cleanse the
air morally, that it would be possible for
decent people to breathe it, for the United
States marshal to take "a hand in the
suppression of vice, one would hardly have
looked for the governor to make any refer
ence to the Ogden city government, or to
say that the Liberals deserve the
success which has come to them"
Decent people of all grades of opinion have
commended Marshal PARSONS and Deputy
PRATT for the good work which they have
done in Ogden and the governor does not
add very much reputation to himself by
reference to the deserved success at Ogden
and by intimating that similar success is
hoped for in Salt Lake city.
People possessed of any great degree of
creetly silent ON the Ogden matter of the
deserved success"
Inasmuch as the last act in the Ogden
farce shows lack of being "active, per-
severing and INDUSTRIOUS has been per-
formed since the governors report was
made, it is but fair to pass that by without
comment.
''If this result is accomplished, it will
be due to the vigorous new element
which is making its presence felt in the
city, and is putting new life into all the
avenues of business" Governor, please
point to few of the buildings erected by
the vigorous new element" or to the in
iustries which that element" has estab-
ished.
That the "new element has been 'vigor- !
BUS" in efforts to secure the city and |
county offices, and in working up the price |
Of real estate, so that it can ''realize" and |
90 hence, we do not deny, but when those
referred to start in to establish home indus |
tries, and erect solid buildings in our city, |
then THE HERALD is on hand to speak |
words of praise for the vigorous new ele-
nent," and to admit that it is really for a
TACT putting new life into all the avenues
If business" but not till this is done can
We agree with Governor THOMAS, painful |
Is it is to US to disagree with his excel
ency in the slightest degree.
The HERALD again calls its readers at
ention to the fact that "ourn governors
annual report was not written for home
consumption, but for expectation 1t is
ust the kind of document to please in the
asst, because lifts perfectly and dovetails
nto the accepted ideas in the eastern
tates regarding the Mormon question. 1t
hows that Governor THOMAS is a good
Judge of human nature, good member OF
political party, and a good Republican,
Though an enemy to the people he is sup
,osed to govern. The governors report
eminds US of the words of the immortal
ABRAHAM LINCOLN: For those who like
hat sort of thing it is just about the sort
# thing they would like"
Governor THOMAS idea as to another
way to be ''active, persevering and indus
rious," is plainly illustrated by the follow
ng: Some federal agency should be
authorized to appoint the following county
,ficers: Selectmen, clerks, recorders, su-
of district schools and asses
ors" To be ''active, persevering and
and for an exhibition of
ealthy development of cheek, commend US
o the average member of the Liberal party
