Pickle.
He Leaves Faithful Wife and Basks
in the Smiles of
No. 2.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August IA suit
WAS begun here which charges that for
five years Edward J Liddle, of Ogden,
Utah, has been living here under an
assumed name with ii woman whom
he married here, while another wife
lived at Ogden, Utah.
The suit is brought in the name of
Maria Sears LIddIe, by her brother, N.
j. sears, OF Ogden, and asks tAat Mrs.
Liddle's dover in a $1,000 house here
he maintained as against tue claims OF
L. J. Liddle, alias DouDIich and G..
DOubrich, his alleged wife, and Louis
rneirmanto, to whom he (Doubrlch)
sold the house.
The petition says Liddle was five
wears ago prosperous druggist at
Ogden, with wife and several child
dren. He came to Louisville to study
medicine. He had corlesponded with
his family and represented that he was
still studying. Meantime the wife at
tended to his business affairs at Ogden.
Liddle, it is said, married here and
bought the house with money furnished
him by his Utah wife.
Disfranchisement the Issue.
The quiet observer is prone to in
qure why the Salt Lake Tribune is so
exceedingly bitter against the Mormons
Il this time. There Is no election pend
Zig; the only movement among the peo-
\ q whom the paper aSsaiis Is one con
n cted with the question as 10 which OF
& e great political parties the individu
III ) shall affiliate with. This is reCOg-
3sZed as good movement, one that all
Should encourage; but the Tribune
grows more vIndlctive even toward
them than if IL political campaign were
in progress, IN which It's attacks might
have the excuse of being for political
effect. The question recurs: What
is its purpose2 Why is it not willing
that the division, among the MOrmons
at least, should 20 forward and develop
all the good that can come from lt?'
Well, the Times is no prophet, it does
not profess TO be able to unerringll
read other mems minds. but it seems
perfectly clear that the Tribune is actu-
ated by its desire to carry through q
plan of disfranChiSement. 1t knows
that if the incerity OF this movement
shall develop to the satisfaction of all
classes, the diSiranch sement idea Will
be so etfectually buried that it can new
er be suggested i'll the future. Tie
ground upon which the dSfranchlsers
stand Will be SO be completely washed
away that they VIII no longer be able
to maintain foothOld The Tribune
would therefore drive the Mormon ppo-
pie together in their old organization
if it could. 1t cannot hope TO do this,
but 1t does desire to keep old animOsl-
ties alive, preventing Gentiles from ac-
cepting the new order of things, III the
hope that some contingency Will arise
under which 1t can spring its pet de-
sire If matters were permitted to run.
along naturally people would soon get
their eyes Oh the truth that Is breaking
through the clouds and the army by
which it is hoped to support disflan-
chisement proposition would melt
away.
This is the way it looks TO the Times. |
If anybody can offer better eXplana-
ton of the Tribune s position, we would |
like to hear of it. But do the Gentlas |
OF Utah want to push This disIranchise- |
ment idea? Surely, if the conditions |
that give rise To it shall prove to have !
been done away with. there Will be few |
to support the plan. Are men going to |
approve of the keeping alive of a /
scheme by appeals to prejudice which /
was born in their minds by W hat they /
conceived to be necessity? We think /
not If the grounds upon which men |
supported 1t have disappeared, Il halt |
will be called Thinking men must /
stop and examine the facts and the evI- /
dence and determine what the merits /
of the change are they are not going to |
be led on by blind fury in course that /
is in contradiction of the underlying
which they have always pro-
fessed.
There is a large class who have never .
approved the dIsfranchisement idea. |
They hold that it is American. and .
they welcome the clearing OF the hori-
ION that marks the passing away of the
cloud. Between these two classes, that
which never has at heart approved the
plan, and that which supported it from
a conviction that it was necessary, the
unreasonable, inplacable
DISTINGUISHES Will be left in q great
If the Tribune shall persist
in making the Liberal party party of
Acknowledgement under all possible
it will compel a large pro-
portion of the present members Of that
party to join either the Democratic or
party, both of which are
squarely opposed to the proposition.-
