The secret of Oscar Wildes general
cranklness has been discovered He is
Republican of the blacklist stripe.
! Should there be any doubt, dear reader,
in your mind on this subject, 1 quote
J from a recent interview:
II do not believe in equality. The
world would be better off if only few
were in command, and the masses were
! reduced to slavery-mentally and bodily.
( I'm each country only three or four
men should rule-men of genius
these men should be allowed to do ex-
actly as they please"
'Why?''
Because they have genius. That is
superior to anything human. 1t is a
! subtle something that is a spark of di-
vinity. 1t should excuse vagaries, faults,
weaknesses, even crimes"
! OF course, 'Ock" has genius" AS for
woman, he thinks their mission in life
is to be beautiful-that is all.
| Beautiful women, in Wilde's mind,
ought to have the same privilege that
men of genius would possess in the IDEAL
world he describes-that is to say, there
should be no restraint put upon them.
! No laws of country, conventions of So
ciety or prejudices of class should ham
per them.
BESIDE Sucn creeu, the doctrines o1
Herr Most are positively tame and in
sipld.
1 read that "Ock' has made change
in his costume. He has discarded his
knee 'yaunts"-probabl because they
rider. He wears a long sack coat 1t is
of gray Scotch cloth. 1t reaches nearly
to his knees. His cravat is enormous.
His hair is long and parted on the side.
His cuffs are many sizes too large for
him and are fastened with links. He
wears golden chain bracelet. Attached
to it is a heart-shaped locket. The little
finger of his left hand is covered to the
nail with conspicuous rings.
There is something wrong with SaXey's
attic. l do not refer to the old-tir1e and
honored citizen of Idaho, who many years
ago adopted that name for his nom de
plume, but to a modern excrescence in
politics whose home is in Provo. In a
recent speech this man is quoted as pc
littIeing the efforts of Delegate Rawlins
by saying that he failed to see wherein
any honor was due Utah's favorite son;
that he had accomplished nothing that
could not have been brought ABOUT by
1O-year-old boy-lf he knew enough. AS
to the honor attaching Mr.. Rawlins for
his work on the statehood bill this man
Saxey went so far as to say that no
credit was due either party--that he, was
just Christian enough to belivee that the
credit was due to God. And of such
monstrosities are the Republican pillars
made!
General Harrison has had his hair and
whskers so closely cropped that his in.
innate friends scarcely recognize him.
Benny is evidently trying to be young
again Wonder if there was any truth
in the rumor that connected his name
with that of a rich widow on the coast?
There is every evidence to prove that
the Republican barrel in the east has
been tapped, and that there has been a
few of the cartwheels sent rolling to-
ward Utah.
Ikey Trombone bids fair to outshine
Bill Nye in his humor. key was asked
! out to dinner a short time ago. L am not
informed whether there were any liquid
refreshments other than coffee served;
anyhow he began to tell his astonished
hearers of the nine bills he had passed for
There was dead silence at his au-
dacity.
This was broken by one of the ladies
remarlxing, in a most sarcastic manner,
! But, Ikey, don't you think Our joe
should be given Just a little credit?
4 "My dear madame" and key never
never blushed a bit. 81 would take great
| pleasure in doing SO, did he deserve it,
Ikey has not been looking well lately.
