NIILITARISM IN UTAH.

The Brooklyn Eagle of very recent
date contained an article headed,
''Is Militarism to Succeed Polyganny?"
It starts out by saying that, Utah is
nothing if not sensational" That may
be- If Utah is sensational she is
keeping up with the times, that is all.
Even the good city of Brooklyn, the
City of Churches, got its fame from
two great sensations. The one was
the Beecher trial; the other Talmages
performances in the Tabernacle.
The article continues: "She is hard
ly out of polygamy into recognized
statehood when she goes near, as Dog
berry says, to be thought a military
despotism, or under system of mar
tial law in outward form at least"
Utah is not into statehood yet, and
will not be for a year.
The occasion for this comment is the
recent execution of Enoch Davis, the
wife murderer. This is not all. The
article goes on to talk with about the
same conference and sense that Davis
himself did just before his execution.
when he was loaded with whisky. II
speaks about the law giving him the
option Of hanging or shooting, which
he took, as some think, to bluff Cover
nor West into some fern of executive
clemency." The Eagle says if he did
so, he did not calculate upon the har-
dihood of Utah ethical nerves. Jus
tice out that way is all the sweeter if
it smacks of Judge Lynch in it's meth
DDS; and there is the wonder that ANY,
thing so regular in form as a military
execution should have been thought
necessary. 1t might have been con-
sidered sufficient alternative to give
the condemned the choice of the reg
ular sheriff or six masked men and a
rope over a limb
We really do not know what the
Eagle means by such talk. If it in
intends to infer that the execution of
Enoch Davis was in any respect a mill
tary execution or that the territorial
militia had anything at all to do with
the affair, it is sadly at fault. The ex-
ecution was entirely in the hands of
the United States marshal, the officer
authorized by the civil law to execute
condemned criminals.
How the Eagle can conjure a cues
ton out of Davis execution, whether
militarism is to succeed polygamy in
Utah, is past finding out. 1t is prob
ably the silliest suggestion ever made
in respectable journal

PRovrDENTIAL INSTRUMENTS.

In his speeches through the South
the Republican candidate for Delegate
assured the people that it was not
statehood to Utah. This statement is
now being echoed by speakers in this
city. What they expect to achieve by
lit is a little obscure, except that they
want to deprive the Democratic party
and the Democratic Delegate of such
credit as justly belongs to them.
Doubtless all people in Utah who be-
lieve in a special or general Providence
controlling the results of human action,
will give glory to God for all the good
that has come to Utah since the Demo-
cratic party came into national power.
But those who hold to that bellies also
understand that Divine Providence
works through human agencies end in
struments. In the case of the great
benefits conferred upon Utah, including
that of statehood, it is very clearAthat
the instruments used by the Supreme
Being were Joseph L. Rawlins and the
Democratic Congress- and President.
Thus the gentlemen who, in their
minglinszs pie and politics, desire to
render praise to the Lord for Utah's re
demption, make nothing by their at
tempts to rob those instruments of
Deity of what rightfully belongs to
them. There is another view 70 take
connected with the same question. It
is Of the troubles and tribulations
which many of the people of Utah have
passed through. The same logic. will
trace them also to Divine Providence.
1t is a poor rule that works only one
way.
And that being true we have to look
at the channel through which those af-
fiictions came. We find it ITO be
the Republican party and its
legislation from the very first
year of it's national supremacy.
If we acknowledge Divine Providence
in the one case we must do so in the
other And we see that while the Re
third of q century was not made
the instrument by which one blessing
flowed to Utah, but, on the contrary,
q great deal of woe, the Democratic
party has been made the vehicle
through which many divine favors
have come to her in but a little more
than year of authority.
Now following up that train of rea-
soning. would it not be ungrateful on
the part of the people of Utah to fly
in the face of Divine Providence, and
fail to recognize the choice made Of
the Democratic party as the means by
which liberty and many favors have
been bestowed? And would it not be
equally impious, as well as impolitic,
If they sought to build UP a power
through which so much evil came to
them? 1t is true that "offenses must
needs come" but it is also written,
"woe unto them by whom they come"
We are sorry to see these attempts
to drag Diety into political polemics,
particularly by those who would not
be expected to take such a course. But
when they do this they may expect to
have their shallow reasoning carried to
its legitimate conclusion. And they
should remember that ungenerous at
tempts to belittle the grand work
wrought by any man or party which
has gained the plaudits of fair
men of all parties, viii not help the
cause of those who are small enough
to resort to such pettiness, nor raise
them in the estimation of just men
and women.

A country paper, which is scarcely

blunders and rash mendacity, wants
the proof that 81. ]. Cannon has sur

No other proof is needed than the
statement Of that paper and his organ
the Salt Lake Tribune, that he is
pledged to the policy Of the Republican
party" That party has been and is to-
day the determined foe of silver. is not
that enough? However, The Herald
did not make either statement in refer
enee to Mr.. Cannon. The gold bug
remark appeared in another journal;
the assertion about his perfect accord
with the Republican patty policy has
bcens used by all the Republican sheets
hereabout as an argument in favor Of
mis- election. Put the fact and the ar
gnment together and there you are.
