A CowARpLY ISLANDER.

Tnlllr II nothing more mean and
cownrdly than the way Ia which tho
Salt Lake Tribune ghouls assail the
dead. Governor Axtell would not
succumb 10 the Tribune lnah while ho
was the Executive Of tho Territory, 10
he was maligned aud abused and
secretly slandcr,d by tho Iri5uHe gang,
aud when he was transferred TO
another Territory, their maleyoloncc
followed him 10 his new appointment.
Now he IL gone from this world and II.
injustice they talk OF him In this way:
at Ia believed that for q moneycd con.
alteration he sold out 10 the Mormon
Church, Aud on this surmlsc they
make the FINAL statement, rs an excuse
for slandering him In his grave, that
che la life betrayed his trust and viz
lated his solemn oath" The statement
isa lie, the rumor ON which II Is based
was groundlcss fiction.
Governor Axtell simply tried 10 do
what was at that time an impossible
thing. namely, to reconcile the Glib
eral'' conspirators with the people
against whom they were plotting. No
man spoke more plainly than he to the
"Mormon" people as TO the supremacy
Of tho law and their duty 10 obey IL.
Hut he did not hold himself aloof from
thousands Of people who had never
broken the law, nor understand II his
duty To move solely In the narrow cir
Gle drawn Ivy the Tribune Tor all Fed
oral officials. lie did not consider his
"trist" 10 be- tho interests u little fac.
tIon, nor did he take amy oath to To-.
celve his orders from the Tribune office.
Therefore he betrayed nothing aud
violated no oath. Governor Axtell de.
sired to break down the wall OF prolu-
dice that divided the people, and have
no opposition here except ON national
party lines.
II there Il anything smaller and
more contemplate In the ways Of the
scandal.monger than this method Of
the 7ribuno's, we have never heard Of
IT, on "a 6eiicred that he sold out 10
the Mormon Church." therefore she
betrayed his trust aud violated his
solemn oath" That Is Tribune logic
and Tribune defamation, No greater
depth OF depravlty IL reached than the
Tribune custom Of laundering the liy.

From these figures Il will be seen
that the aggregate value ~ the output
Of Kansas farms Tor 1891 may he safely

100000 for the farmers necessary out
lay In groceries, clothing, etc, there Il
left 500 100000, representing nett pro-
ceels for tho farmers. In 1890 the
assessed value of ali farm lands in
Kansas was SiGs, 100000. Figuring on
the basis that fair assessments represent
about one.fourth the real value, this
would put the full value Of Kansas
farm lands at s5I2, 900, 900.
In the face Of such prosperity II is
supposed that the farmers Alliance
