OUR TERRITORIAL EXCHANGES
The Tribune's Party.

The Herald refers to the fact that such
Republican war horses as Arthur Brown,
{. h. Allen. {. S. Vavian and others are
on fighting terms with the Tribune, etc.
The Tribune comes back and practically
says that its party rumpus is not a drop
III the bucket compared with the Demo
cratic split, etc. And now comes the
Herald and appeals to the Standard
as the valiant Republican paper" of
Utah to state which of the two papers is
more in accord with its party, the Herald
or the Tribune. We are sorry the Herald
decided on the Standard as the umpire
for we will have to decide against the
Herald. The Tribune'S party is dead.
though occasionally it tries to revive il,
but so far has failed. The Tribune has al
ways claimed that it was not a Republic
can organ and that the party it profeSsed
allegiance to was the Tribune. And we
believe the Tribune has been fairly loyal
to its owners. The fact that the Tribune
is at war with the leading Republicans
in Utah is proof that it has been and still
is loyal to itself. Yet we think the Trib-
une is right when it says it has no dissen-
sion in the party because the latter only
consists of Pat Lannan, Judge Goodwin.
Colonel Nelson and Governor Thomas, and
they get along fairly we'll But they are
at war with the Republican leaders and
there is talk now Of starting up a Repub-
Iican paper in Salt Lake in order that the
Republican party there may have an or
gan at the coming election in Salt Lake
Ogden Standard.

Lost and Won.

Sanpete county won and lost the loca-
ton of the State Normal school last week
won it through the efforts of Delegate
Lund who offered location of a block Of
ground in Ephriam as a site for the in
stitution, and ably presented the advan-
tages of such a location; and
lost through the assininity of the
long Whiskered delegate from Nor
oni, Jolly, and the statesmanCD
from Spring City, Lauritz Larson, who
worked for an amendment to Lund s
motion stating that the location be left
to the people of the county to decide OF
course the enemies OF Sanpete had an
easy time defeating the location when it
was seen the Sanpete delegation was
divided. The gentlemen who proposed the
amendment simply acted the dog in the
manger. They had no inducements TO
offer for their own towns, but fought the
location at Ephriam just the same We
do not censure them on account of Eph-
Ram, but for the whole county. It would
have been just the same had Mt. Pleasant
or Manti been proposed. Sanpete is en-
titled to one Of the state institutions and
undoubtedly would have received 1t, II the
gentlemen named had been at their homes
attending to their personal affairs, where
they should be. They have been the
laughing stock of the convention from the
start; and it is no wonder. Sanpete is ridi-
culed by the other counties when she al
lows such men TO represent her.-Eph-
Siam Enterprise.

Also that the membership shall extend
to every part of Utah. One dollar
year, payable in advance, will secure
to each member a copy of all the liter
allure of the Association, which will
prove of great value to every irrigator
and tiller of the soil.
The people of Utah should unite in
this good work, and need not be afraid
to join the Association. With such
men as Governor c. W. West, Presi-
dents MILFORD Woodruff, George @.
Cannon and L. w. Shurtliff at the
head, and Col. C. S. Stevenson as Sec
rotary, there need be no dubiety as to
the purposes and stability of the Asso-
citation. Closer attention must be paid
than ever to irrigation affairs in Utah,
because they are intimately connected
with all our agricultural interests, and
this Association will be the means of
bringing them into active discussion
and practical advancement.

Weak IN rveS

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the Or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, i'm
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
TO the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness viii then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

fall into sin and folly and crime, it
does not begin with a desire to do
evil, but starts with female flattery
and male vanity, and ends in vice and
shame.
It takes discrimination to separate
/ the man from the matter of his dis
course. And this should be cultivated
When a speaker does not in his life en-
! body the precepts he utters, if they
are good and pure and elevating they
should be nevertheless accepted for
their own sake. And when error falls
! from the lips of a good man or woman
1t is not sanctified by the lips that ut
ter it, nor changed into precious truth.
So when a prominent preacher of re-
ligion and morality falls into the
slough of corruption, and his name be-
comes the synonym of evil, or is ban
died about by the vile in association
with infamy, that should not in the
least degree reflect upon the profession
he has disgraced, the sect or society
to which he belongs. or the general
cause of Christianity which he has be-
trayed.
There have been numerous cases of
departure from virtue and honor on
the part Of members of the clerical
profession. But they appear to be in
larger proportion to other classes than
they really are because greater scan
dial attaches to them. Preachers are
placed upon a higher pedestal than
common men in public estimation, and
the foil &c fharafnre for md
ates more commotion. And they al
ways provoke the jeers and sneers
and publications of the licentious and
irreligious and receive a wide publ
cation.
The clerical profession is open to
greater suspicion than any other when
there is but small cause for belief of
guilt. Circumstances which, surround
ing man of the world, would not be
viewed as evidence of wrong, are Of
ten accepted as almost conclusive in
connection with religious minister.
This should have the effect OF MAX
ing such persons more circumspect in
their conduct than others, avoiding
even the appearance of evil" 1t is not
right that 4 preacher should be
judged on any other rules than
man of the world is judged by. He
should have the same benefit of the
doubt" when proofs are not conclu-
sive. AS much charity should be ex-
ercised in his case as in others. If he
sins and repents he should be for
given like layrlan. And yet, after all,
there is more expected of one who
stands before the public as a moral
and religious preceptor than Of the
ordinary citizen, and it is right that it
should be so. for example ought to go
with precept, and the preacher of the
word ought to be also a doer of the
word. But no mans sin proves any
doctrine wrong. nor should preachers
fall reflect upon the church or cause
with which he was connected.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-05-12
PREACHING AND PRACTISING.

The force of example is great 1t is
much more powerful than preaching.
To say one thing in public and practice
another and different thing in private
is hypocritical and multiplying The
preacher, no matter of what persua-
sion or denomination, is expected to
be exemplary. That is but reasonable.
il he is not, his influence will be but
small for good. It is true that what is
right in principle ought to be received,
no matter who promulgates it. Yet
the teachings of Deity would not have
much force from the voice of Satan,
nor virtuous precepts from the lips OF
a libertine.
Some day, perhaps, mankind will
look only at principle without regard
to where it comes from, who favors or
opposes it, or the character or reputa-
ton of its advocates. But in the pres
ent day people are largely influenced
by the personality of the pronlulgators
of a doctrine or precept. And though
that may not be strictly logical. yet it
is right that propounders of morality
shall be moral, and preachers of right
eousness shall be practicers Of right
eousness. =
Perfection is not to be expected in
humanity Sometimes 100 much is

IS overlooked, and the preacher and
preaching are viewed as almost iden-
teal.
That is what makes some pulpit ora
tors so attractive to a certain class of
women. It is not because Of anything
wrong IN the intent of the fascinated
female that she is often drawn to a
sort of worship for the fervent pull
riteer, bsIt the very contrary. And

The suggestion that the lower price
of silver has been brought about by
the increase in production during the
past twenty years is sufficiently an
swered by the fact that the produc-
ton of gold has also increased, though
not in the same proportion, with the
result that it hs not only failed to de-
preciate. but has much appreciated, in
value. in comparison with the average
