THE COMING ISSUE.

THE annexed special dispatch from
Washington was published IN tho
Chicago Tribune under date OF July %
"utah's deal for Statehood has not yet
been contaminated, hut there are ltopub-
lean Senators who seem bound to help
Il out. Tho other day In the Committee
on Territories stewart and Carey Joined
the Democratic members In agrucing TO
report favorably an enabling net for tho
Mormon Territory, ~ that Il VIII 90 be-
fore the senate with majority report
"stewart's position is plain. lie wants
Utah admitted ~ n state M that the TAX
of dlsmcmborinr the pocket borough OF
Nevada and joining It to adjoining states
will cease senator Carcy's action, how
ever. seems to call for explanation. some
weeks ago. when the Democratic House
under suspension Of the rules passed
enabling acts for Arizona aud New
Mexico, a chorus went up from the NOM
bors who cried out 'Utahl umhr They
wanted to lot In the poiygnmous Territory
too.
hut speaker crisp would nos give
them chance, and refused to recognize
any member 10 make the motion nni
suspend the rules, no thai an enabling act
for Utah would be passed II would DO
queer ia Republican Senate should have
less regard for public docency than a
Democratic House."
It's copied by the Tribune Of this
city, with comments containing a
Characteristic ding at Senator Carey,
and the opinion that all the other
Senators OF the surrounding states
favor the statehood movement. How
ever, 1t does not accuse them Of "a full
understanding with the Mormon
Church" M It does that gentleman,
but It manifcsts gloomy aud sorrow
full conviction that lts efforts TO pre-.
vent liberty for Utah will be abortive.

1--WE rotor to tho matter that the Lib
erals may understand that with tho alec.
tion Of MIR. Cleveland statehood will DO
given to Utah within year, or certainly
before tho election In the fall Of lslL It
Is quite possible 1t will be the same with
the recollection Of Mr.. Harrison, because
It takes a strong man as President To ro-
fuse on local question tho Endorsement
Of his party Senators In all tho adjacent
States"
This being the case, why should net
the decent men among the "Liberals"
fall in with tho march OF events, catch
the spirit Of the TIMES, got out Of their
old and useless rut, and take part In this
work that will soon be upon the people
OF this Territory? The"Iiberal organ
says further
1--WE are firmly convinced that the Re-
publican Senators In all the surrounding
States TO Utah have an understanding
which means statehood Tor Utah In the
near future"
II that Ia the case, what 10 the use Of
fighting the movement and keeping
up n struggle over dead Issues? The
miserable nonsense which the Tribune
spitor poured out before the committee
N Minneapolis, and which O. w.
Powers and his crowd repeated at
Chicago, Is behind the times. IL did
very well for Tribune purposes u few
years ago, but II ia too stupid and
stale for the present. Anti."Mormonn
yarns are obsolete. Bugaboos about
mormon" domination OF the fuIur,
State are understood IN be stuffed
dummlcs-- "Libcrsp scarcrows that
only excite ridicule or disgust. What
Is the use OF playing with them any
longer Nobody who has sense and
information believes that there will b,
any other dangers In Utah than thos,
which the respective national pertiei
always picture us the consequences o
the triumph OF the opposition.
1t Ia Of no usu TO lie about the "Mor
mons" any longer. 1t is babylsm /,
keep up the false alarm abou
"Church rule" any more. why no
stop this foolery and make a genuine
anu sincere effort to secure the comini
State to that political party which eaci
citizen believes to be the best?
The old Issues are gone, the oil,
strife should cease. Let " have Re
publican principles and Democrat
doctrines In dispute, instead Of religion
boliois against irreligious onslaught
aud sharp retaliation against malciou
misrepresentation aud ribald insinua
lions. Each party thinks its own sue
