our aggressive and gifted contem-
porary, the salt Lake Tribune. will
AVE TO take a whack at Il very peculiar
article i'm the North american Rerien,,
which is said to he from the pen of one
of Brigham Ioung's daughters. The
sketch in question gives an innocent
picture of the blessings n the beau
ties of home life-the heroic father. the
gentle mother. the dutiful youngsters
and all that. Then il advances by
stealthy step tn show the peculiar bles-
sedness there is in the institution of
polygamy. quite OH the theory that if a
man is devoted to one wife and her Off
spring. there's no telling how intensely
heightened the quality of devotion be-
comes if there are more wives and il
the children multiply.

ONE YEAR OR NOTHER

Two reasons are advanced why the
worlds fair should De postponed one
year and held in 1888. One of these is
feeble enough, the other nay have
merit. The first reason i%nnocently re-
cites the fact that IL was very late i'm
the year 1882 when Columbus discov-
cred n islands off the southeast coast
of the continent, that New Year day of
1883 had passed before the explorers
really got to solid land and celebrated
the occasion in good Castilian style and
that it WAS near spring of that year be-
fore Europe learned the news of h
discovery. This is putting the request
for the delay i'm clever form. Of course.
it would be vulgar for the nineteenth
century to disregard the historical
unities of the fifteenth: there is moth
ing i X sticking to h right dates.
The other plea urged in favor of
postponement is far more practical. IL
the living present, as it will
be in 1892. That is the year of the
presidential election, and the signs are
that h contest which is to fall due
two years hence will be engrossing i'm
ntere and remarkably stirring in the
demonstrations that will attend it. At
home, politics will probably he the
reigning theme in 1892, and the fair
might suffer. II is urged that scandal
might easily be started on lis journey
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-03-09

by covert suggestion that the fair had
been turned into a political machine
and its money into a corruption fund.
Then, too, we should all be glad to have
visitors from abroad see the American
public clothed and In its right mind;
and IL must be said that n mad zeal
with which politics are attacked dur
ing presidential year i'm some sections
of the country, would make 1t impossi-
BILE to exhibit the American public in
its best and serenest mood.
On the Inauguration of the next
president of the United States, who
ever he may be, good humor will pre-
vail. Perhaps that would he n better

cage moves for the adjournment we
suppose nobody will seriously object.
