A Contemporary's Anecdote OF the

NJ. de Beugnot a contemporary OF
Talleyrand's and superintendent of

anecdote of Talleyrand. an incident in
which he, himself, played no incon-
spicuous part:

Beuguot, ION hearing that the PruSsian
army intended to blow up the bridge of

casions no time was to be lost, ordered
ME to find Marshal Blucher, wherever
he might be, aud to use the strongest
language in my vocabulary on the part
of the king and his government in
order TO induce the marshal to give
such peremptory orders as would pre-
vent the threatened outrage.

line, and the new responsibilities and new
burdens will be accepted as duty instead
Of being clamored for as a right. The
breeders of bugaboos may note this down
and rely upon it implicitly.
As to the Mormons managing state In
such a way as to Cypress anybody, to de-
preciate property values or drive anybody
out, the thing is so ridiculous as to carry
with it its own refutation. Nobody mas
ever suggested that the Mormons were
downright fools. and nobody ever will hint
that they are not quite so keen as to their
own material interests as other mortals.
They have certainly done their full share
in the work of inducing immigration and
attracting capital, as the records OF the
movements in these directions during
all late years will verify. They assuredly
own a pretty healthy proportion OF the
property Of the territory, and they love
their possessions fully as much as the nom
Mormon loves his; they also know that
they, more than others, would suffer from
any depreciation of values or any other
disaster which might overtake the t1ritory
and check the progressive march OF the
community.
But all this so called fear of statehood IS
sheer rot, the invention Of those who Will
not live in peace with their fellows, be-
cause, first, their natures are uniformed,
and then they imagine there are more power
and greater personal gain in continuance

pie have outgrown and are trying to forget

REPUBLICAN JOURNALISM.

1t is good Sunday morning reading for every
Gentle who subscribes for the Tiri5ule, and for
every Mormon who steals it from ais neigh
boris doorstep, to be reminded that this move
ment to disintegrate and destroy the Liberal
party, this movement which has dissolved the
Peoples party in this city and Ogden, has
nothing behind it on the part of the Saints ex-
cept 10 secure Mormon statehood for Utah; il
has nothing behind it on the part of the Re
publicans and Democrats who lead OF in the
movement, except 10 secure for them personally
some petit larceny offices.-TTj6Ine, June :, 1891
In the political discussion upon which the
people OF this territory are entering, and
which must continue from now on upon
the same lines as in other states and ter
ritories, IL would seem that fairness and
decency should be the pride of journalism.
To this rule the Tribune should form no ex
ception. 1t has INDUCED in personal Jour-
nalism and hate in the past, but we submit
that it should raise itself above all such
now. 1t owes TO the public duty, chief of
which is to be decent newspaper. So far
as the Democrats are concerned they knew
that when they assumed TO act in a matter
contrary TO the wish Of the Republican
newspaper they would probably receive its

business, looking 10 their own affairs, and
doing as they please. But have such
men as Judge ZANE, Judge HARK-
NESS, c. w. Bennett, E. B. CRITcH-
LOW, NICHOLAS TREwEEK. ARTHUR Brown
and other Republicans no right to expect
decent treatment from the journal of their
own party Are they to be characterized
as ''petty larceny office seekers ! What
is our community coming to if such jour
nalism as this is to be INDUCED in and
sanctioned by the people Then what do
such men as JAMES SHARP, JOIN HENRY
SMITH and HEBER NJ. WELLS think when
they are told that they steal the Repub-
lican newspaper from their ''neighbor's
doorstep gu Can they maintain their self
respect and vote with party which sane
tions such journalism
We hear much of the Liberal party from
the Republican newspaper; do the people
think such journalism Liberalism? Can
such illiberality DE found in any other sec
ticn of our country Is all decency gone
Do Republicans endorse such journalism
as this The people of this community
recognize the fact that the Republican
newspaper is SICK, out they did not know
it was SO bad

A SCAPEGRACE KING.

Were King MILAN, late of Servia, and
now ct large, an American citizen, his
name would probably not be so widely
known as it is, and his fame would doubt
less be restricted to the criminal annals
His elevation to the throne of Servia. then
only duchy, was due to the assassination
of his father in 1867, and bis reign from
that time on, though he began as boy OF
twelve, was one perpetual scandal Disso-
lutte, his court soon became the scene of the
widest orgies; cowardly, he shirked the
dangers of war and earned the contempt of
his fierce countrymen; lying, his word was
absolutely without value. A sot and a
gambler, even his rank could not save him
from social ostracism, and the tales that
are told of his disgraceful conduct would
shame an outcast. And yet, to spare the
dignity of royalty, not half the truth has
been told. 1t is only recently that a ieweled
sword OF MILAN's, presented to him by his
loyal subjects on some patriotic occasion,
was found in pawn shop the price of

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

We are entering upon an important pc
litical campaign, perhaps more import
ant than any of the past 1t will be fought
along different lines than those which have
been followed heretofore, and the quss-
tons involved and which will be discussed
in the press and on the stump will be IN
like those which have formed the theme
for partisan papers and party harangues in
previous contests. Hitherto il has been
Gentle against Mormon, and religious fights
we all know have in all ages of the
world been the bitterest, fercest and
most hateful. The religious feature
has been eliminated from our local politics,
and we hope it will never again be intro
duced in any political contest fought on
Utah soil; with this elimination, may we
not ask that the bitterness, the hatred, the
fanaticism and the unresson which invari-
ably characterize those quarrels in which
religion is involved, may also be dropped /.
We earnestly request this so far as Demo
the stump and in the press they will avoid
personalities, and discuss principles ana
measures In way to command the respect
OF the people rather than arouse the pas
sions and baser elements of mems natures.
Ii others want TO indulge in personal
abuse, if they want TO revel in filth and
nastiaess and call out the evil in men, let
them do so, Democrats all the time bearing
in mind That this is a clean community,
loving peace, and much easier of conviction
by argument and reason than by black
guard abuse and personal assaults
Conditions have undergone a mighty
change In this territory, and we hope that
change has extended TO mems tongues and
pens anG inspirations as well as to their
politics. We hope that when the election
shall have been held, the votes counted and
the result announced, the opponents will be
Of nothing they have said or done
against each other, and that where they are
worthy they can feel that they are personal
friends and citizens of the territory equally
devoted to the progress and welfare OF the
community.
Gentlemen all, let US make this our irst
in which only politics pure and
simple can legitimately enter, such a one as
we will be pleased to look back upon, and
not one which will leave bad taste in the
mouth and be followed by unpleasant mem
ories. The HERALD thinks it can promise
that the Democrats will do their share in
this matter.

gambling debt. And yet, as so often hap
pens, this worthless king wed one of the
noblest women in Christendom, q woman
gifted, lovely and devoted. The world
knows how he subverted the laws and cor
rupted the courts Of the country in order
to secure from this wife divorce and the
custody of their only child, the prince re-
gent To be sure. it was the climax of his
lmfamy and it cost him his crown; yet not
until the skuptshina voted him lump sum
of money and S200, 600 year in allowance
in exchange for his resignation" We now
learn of the king from Paris, where he
holds high carnival at the gaming table. 1t
is strange that people SO impoverished as
the Servians are, will pension a monarch
who Is disgrace to humanity and abso-
lutely without claim to recognition from
his late subjects.

AT THE Democratic meeting held in the
Third Precinct on Saturday evening one of
the speakers 6eplored the fact that too
much contemptuous personality was ap-
pearing in the local press, and illustrated
the fact by quoting from the Tribune,
which denominated the gentlemen who
were DESTROYS of establishing national
party lines in Utah as ''Malcontents and
ambitious prospective office-holders." The
speaker denounced such utterances and
asked who had been some of the ambitious
prospective Off &C. holders of the past! For
answer he quoted the fact that the business
manager of the Tribune had been an appli-
cant for the position of United States mar
shall for Utah, and that the editor of the
paper had more recently been the appli-
cant for the position of Congressman from
Utan. With these facts in view the lab
ored column in the last issue of our morn
ing contemporary is easily understood, and
further comment is unnecessary.
