AT ITS OLD BUSINESS.

The Tribune prints a dispatch from
its Washington "Ananias" which is.
without doubt, either a garbled report
of some remarks from Governor West
or an entire fabrication by the repor-
ter who is noted for just such manu-
features of interviews that never took
place. Commenting on that, the Tri-
bune says, editorially, Governor West
goes squarely back on the whole the
DRY of the recent campaign in Utah"
This is just as false as the dispatch
Governor West did nothing of the kind,
even if he made the remarks attribut-
ed to him. Further, the editor says:
ct was known all along that the Rich
ardses weren't in it,
Lie number three. The Richardses
were in the campaign as much as any
other leading Democrats, and the false
hoods repeated day after day by the
Tribune with the view of trying to
promote a feud within the Democratic
party, are now thoroughly understood
by the parties concerned.
They are all of a piece with its lie
number four that appeared daily in the
Tribune, to the effect that Judge Pow
ers had a corruption fund Of $50, 900 for
the campaign. The villainous sheet has
now. gone back on that falsehood to
the extent of jeering the judge because
he has not sufficient funds to pay the
ordinary dues of the campaign
Another lie of that paper is being ex-
posed as the returns come in from diff
ferent precincts; that is that the Demo
Gratis were opposing statehood. The
proofs are clear wherever they have
been obtained, that the principal OPP
position to statehood in the votes of
the people of Utah has come from Re-
puhlicans.
That is in accord with the spirit and
acts Of the Republican party from its
inception. It has always opposed the
admission of Utah into the Union as a
state and was only induced at the last
moment to keep down its antagonism
because further opposition would be
futile and would hinder it's chances
with the people of Utah.
The Tribune itself never changed

THE RED MEMS RIGHTS.

The report of the superintendent Of
Indian schools in reference to Indian
educati mentioned in Washington
| dispatches, is very interesting. The
/ progress made in the schooling of In
dian children is encouraging. But one
suggestion made by the superintend-
ent would, we believe, if carried into
effect, be provocative of no end Of
trouble. 1t is that Congress modify
the present law so it will not be nee
essary to secure the consent of the
parents of Indian children, to make
transfers of pupils from reservation to
nom reservation schools.
The purpose of this is to prevent the
return of educated Indian children to
ably sink back into the habits and Gus
toms of their tribe, and thus the work
of their education will be measurably
if not totally lost. There is something
in that which is worthy of considera-
ton, but that does not imply that the
change in the laws suggested would be
wise.
by Mlldl I1Sill Nall dllS law NC DdSStQ
which would deprive even an Indian Of
the control of his own children? Com
pulsory education may be all right, and
so far the law may step in and require
that Indian children shall attend
school. But to take them without the
consent of the parents, and place them
in schools away from intercourse with
their parents, would be an exercise of
force that cannot be justified and is
contrary TO the genius of our national
institutions.
The probability is that such compul-
sion would be resisted by force of arms,
and the redmen would have one more
justifiable cause of hostility to their
white conquerors. If the government
wants a preteXt for the slaughter and
determination of the wards of the
country" this suggestion of the super
intendent's would probably furnish it.
Let the rights of the redskins be re-
spected as well as those of the whites.
and much trouble and bloodshed will
thereby be avoided.

THE ART OF VOTING.

In his sermon last Sunday, DR.. Park
hurst announced the establishment of
a class for young men in connection
with his church for the teaching of
practical Christianity in relation to cur
rent events. 1t is said that this means
the incubation of the doctrine of in
dependent voting at municipal cleo
tons. Such voting is desirable in mu-
nicipal elections surely, for the man
agement and administration of a city s
affairs are purely business matters,
and have nothing in the world to do
with the policies that should control a
nation.
Perhaps in no other city in the Union
has politics had more baleful effect
than in New York Governor Tilden
broke up the Tweed ring, but in time
another no less infamous grew up.
which in turn was broken up, mainly
through the efforts of Dr.. Parkhurst,
who now proposes to start a school to
teach the art Of voting. But the ring
that he broke up has regained power
and will, in all likelihood, retain it for
many years
What the methods of study in this
proposed school for teaching the art of
voting will be is not announced. The
very first lesson in the art of voting is
to teach the theory that parties should
be means for the attainment of ends,
and that they are not in and of them
selves ends. The corruption in our
politics comes largely from the fact
that voters regard their parties as
ends. When such is the case all hope
of progress and improvement is gone.
Right here in Salt Lake county and
Tooele and Summit counties the peo-
pie witnessed a most commemorate eX-
ample of the true art of voting when
many thousand Republicans refused to
vote for their party nominees for dis
trict judges, and voted for the nomi-
nees of their political opponents be-
cause they were in all ways worthy of
their respect and support, while those
of their own party were not. That was
splendid thing for Utah, because it
was a notice served on all political par
ties that candidates for office must be
worthy of support to receive it. The
election of the judges in the Third jul
dicial district was a victory Of the
people. and to them as citizens and
not as partisans belongs the credit. And
if the people shall continue to be ready
to act as Independently and promptly
when any party makes bad nomina-
tions, as in this particular case, there
will be no necessity to establish such
schools as that proposed by DR.. Park
hurst.

NEWSPAPER READING.

1t is perhaps true that the majority
of people confine their reading to news
papers and magazines The neWspa per
has created larger number of readers
than any literature ever did Not only
that, but the person who reads news
papers is very apt to have taste for
reading created within him, and he will
satisfy his longings in this direction
by turning to the field of literature
proper.
1t has become a trite remark, too oft
repeated, that the life of the present
day is too busy, too. occupied with ma
terial affairs, for men to. read the
great authors of our literature If such
be the case, then our too busy modern
life is to the extent to which it de-
prives men of the acquaintance of the
great masterpieces bad and defective
life. No matter how extensive and de-
voted a reader of newspapers a man
may be, nothing can open to him such
range of thought, such vision of gran
deur, as the reading of Shakespeare
and Milton. 1t may be said that he
who knows not the works of these
master minds has not lived. If the
great books are not read nova days it
is not because there is a lack of time,
rather it is because there is a lack of
inclination, If newspapers grow better
