NEW UTAH.

we nave Tile new sOuIls AdNO hdA ~
fol- some years, or since poor Grady
went to Boston to eat their swell dim
ners and drink the strong wines IN
dulged in by the mud-silis of prohibi-
ton, who, a few years, since hung
witches and servant girls. We have
the new woman and she develops all
over with wonderful rapidity, and but
for the fact that she must remain the
flesh and blood mother of the race, we
would soon nave to search for her In
the clouds, in the planets or upon
some swift aerial bicycle in transit
from earth to heaven or vice versa.
And why not new Utah2 1t astonishes
the outside world that the men of new
Utah will meet IN convention and
cody form a constitution which for
ever disposes of polygamy. These out
side and unbelievlng barharians will
also be astonished at the majority the
constitution will get. They will also
be greatly astonished by the analysis
of the vote to be cast for it, which
will reveal the important and
complimentary fact that the aye votes
are cast mainly by the Mormon peo-
pie, while most of the meagre vote to
be cast against it will be cast by gen.
tiles, gentle republicans at that.
The st. Louis Republic of the oath,
has leading article on our new con-
stitution which is altogether compli-
mentary. 1t rejoices that we have
shelYed the old-fogyism of the grand
jury, and that we are to rely upon in
formation and inquiry instead of the
exparte trials which take place in the
grand jury rooms, and the Republic
also praises another improvement
made by new Utah's new constitution,
and that is, the reduction of the num-
Der of the jurors in our trial juries
from twelve to eight, and the majority
verdict, in civil cases and the unani-
NOUS verdict in criminal trials
Indeed The Republic is not alone in
this exubersnce of praise. The pious
New York Mail and Express, all of the
Boston papers and some of the Chicago
journals have been laYishly generous
In praising the constitution of Utah.
One Chicago paper is astonished that
the polygamous men OF Utah can vol
unfairly give up the institution of
polygamy, and is very certain thai
Chicago could not have done so, That
is q naive admission of immortality
which one hardly expects from a godly
city such as Chicago Is, but is an indi-
cation that even wicked Chicago will
afterwhile develop enough backbone
to enable her courts to grapple with
her own unrecognized ypolygamy at
home, in some sort Of efficient wa7.
She might write thousand constitu
tIons for Illinois and there would not
be one line in the mass which proposed
earnestly TO deal with the social evil
or the unrecognized polygamy which
has made her name byWord and re-
proach wherever her unsavory history
has been read on the earth.
The one unpleasant circumstance
about our new constitution and new
statehood is, that it gives the wicked
cities of St.Louis, Chicago, Boston and |
New York, the shadow of a graceful |
excuse to talk down at Utah in this
most exasperating way; when the
simple fact is, they are, one and all,
entirely and utterly unworthy to loose
the latches of Utsh's brogans, in this
Or any other way-affecting her moral,
legal or commercial status
Or get up. There now! we've said it.
It has been seetbing and boiling in our
breast for many Gays and grew finally
@ be intolerable. It's out now and we
eel better.
