PERFID1oUs FOR PRoFIrs.

The endeavors of some interruptions
Republicans to charge the sending of
dispatches from this city to the eastern
press, for the purpose OF melting oppo-
sition to statehood for Utah, are quite
consistent with the policy of such Re
publicans. They are the kind that draw
their inspiration from the Salt Lake
Tribune, If that paper or any of its
dupes can show that the Democratic
party has sent any of those lying dis
patches" we viii publish the proofs
with pleasure.
1t is not surprising that persons con-
! nected with that paper should suspect
others of their own tricks. From that
quarter enanated scores of lying dis
patches to the east, in times past, sent
for the purpose of infaming the public
mind, with a view to bringing in troops
to overawe if not bring destruction up
on the majority of Utah's citizens.
The Associated Press office is in the
Tribune building. Such dispatches as
were wired about the present crisis in
Utah went from that place. We do not
accuse the Associated Press of sending
anything wrong, or of being influenced
by the surroundings of it's headquar-
tiers. We merely mention a fact in view
of the falsehoods of the Salt Lake Trib-
une.
The comments of the eastern papers
are not justified by what was tele-
graphed from Salt Lake. Each paper
IS responsible for its own utterances.
and the Associated Press should not be
/ blamed for what those papers have
added TO what was sent to them.
The course of the Republican paper
which has tried all along to misrepre-
sent the issue before the people of
Utah. is not endorsed by the best mem
bers of its own party. but is denounced
as pusillanimous and at variance with
! its former position in reference to the
question. The following from the
Evening Telegram, which has fairly
and ably presented the situation, shows
how many Republicans feel about it
That the Salt Lake Tribune now the
unofficial organ of the Mormon church,
| is, in the main, responsible for the af-
ing in the minds of the honest men of
both parties, that church influence has
been used against the Democrats has
been proven beyond question. But that
the Mormon church or the Republican
party, as a body, are or have been par
ties to the nefariOus scheme is false
The Republican party neither asks MOI
desires the aid or influence of the Nor
mon church, or any other church. The
1 Republican party placed in the position
of the Democratic party in this matter
would have done exactly as the Demo.
cratic party has done, and it would
have expected and received the support
and sympathy Of every fair-minded
Democrat in Utah.
The trouble with the Tribune is that
the influence complained of has beer
all in favor of its own party and prof
its, and that is why it has played tbs
juggler's act, swallowing its own words
and practically turning itself inside
out

THE SIMPLE TRUTH.

Now, two weeks ago the lieutenanis
who reported to Judge Powers told
him that the field looked like a battle
lost.
That is the basis on which the Tri-
bune argues in support of its repeated
attacks on Judge Powers. 1t is nothing
more nor less than lie. We challenge
the author of it to give the name of
any lieutenant or other officer or aid
to the chairman of the Democratic
committee, who made any such report
That statement was fabricated by the
editor of the Tribune as an excuse for
the whole batch of wilful falsehoods
that have appeared in that paper on
its editorial page for many days past
The truth is that up to the Satur-
day previous to the ill-timed structures
on two prominent Democrats, in the
Mormon Priesthood meeting, all the
workers for the Democratic party who
made reports supplied figures and
facts which demonstrated Democratic
gains in nearly every precinct.
Ii the Tribune has solitary proof
to the contrary let 1t be furnished &c
the public. If it has the name of any
Democratic lieutenant who TOLD
Judge Powers that the field looked
like battle lost" let the name be
published. What Judge Powers has
said in regard TO this matter is abso
lutely true. AS to the perfect cor
rectness of the reports we have moth
ing to say except that we believe they
were made in good faith and were re
ceived with infinite satisfaction.
The whole army of workers was Z
united and confident band. When The
thunderbolt was launched that dis
turbed the entire territory, it was e
source of joy to Republicans and Of
mingled gloom and indignation by
Democrats. The magnificent convea
ton has dispelled the clouds and re
vived hope and confidence.
But the conviction is strong in The
Democratic heart that if the anticipa
ted victory does not come to the Dem
ocratic ticket. the cause will be founC
outside of regular and legitimate polit
zeal campaign work, and that as vel

Utnh's Prospects,,

1t is becoming evident that the best
thing that could happen TO Utah and to
that portion of the country liable to be
affected by her condition would be that
the new constitution should be rejected
and statehood Indefinitely postponed. The
Pioneer Press has maintained from the
first that Utah was not ready for state
hood, and she is proving 1t at every step
OF the way. the more strongly as she
approaches more nearly to the date
fixed for a final decision. In the case of
almost any state previously admitted, the
term mot ready would simply imply
immaturity of commercial or political
character, but in the case of Utah it
means that a certain Ubiquitous practice
must be completely and Enthusiastically
granted. 1t has been claimed by Utah
herself and by others, that polygamy
was no longer practiced within her bor-
ders. and it is true SO far as any open
violation of the law is concerned. But
at least one generation must pass away
before it can be safely regarded as ex-
tinct.
The Mormons of Utah have laid their
wires with admirable foresight. They
have included woman suffrage in the
proposed constitution, not because it is
desired by the women themselves, who
are not, the majority of them at Least,
advanced but rather the reverse. They
have seen to it that the leading candidates
for state officers on both sides are Nor
mons, so that the new state, if it comes
in. is certain of a Mormon governor.
The first move was made in the belief
that the Gentfles of the territory would
vote for woman suffrage rather than
forego the privilege of statehood, and
that, once admitted Utah's women
could, and would, thrown the balance of
the popular vote of the state upon the
side of polygamy. If they could have Sc
cured the decision allowing women to
vote on the constitution they would have
practically accomplished lneir end, so
far as the adoption of the constitution
could do so.
1t is hardly likely. even without the fe-
male vote, that the constitution will be
defeated. President Woodruff, of the
Mormon church. is probably sincere
when he says that it is nothing to him

MARLBoRoUGHs DIAMOND BROOCH

Peoples love affairs are no business
of the public's if they do not make
them public, but when an American
heiress is betrothed to the scion of a
great ducal house Of England, and that
fact is telegraphed all over the land,
then all that pertains to their love af-
fairs becomes legitimate public prop
erty. So 1T is with the engagement of
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt to the
Duke of Marlborough.
Everybody knows that they are to be
married on the 14th proximo; that she
will have settled upon her $4,000 600,
and that there viii be an additional
S., 100000 to be devoted TO the repair
and furnishing of Blenhiem. Have not
Americans legitimate interest, not
vulgar curiosity, in an American heiress
who becomes a British duchess? They
certainly have. 1t is for this reason
that we take notice of the fact that
the Duke has been compelled to send a
diamond brooch that was sent over as
a present for his bride back TO Eng
land because he would not pay the
customs dues on it. They We're only
sixty dollars, but sixty dollars are five
suineas. and five guineas are a good
deal at times.
The actual conversation at the
custom house where the package was
held bearing upon it, in great red
letters, this legend, Seized for Gus
TOMS" alone can describe the scene.
Look here, Frazer" the Duke said
to the vice-consul, at is really too
bad, you know You must fix it up,
hang it ALL 1 cannot afford to pay
duty on every wedding present Miss
Vanderbilt may receive from abroad.
Go down and tell these customs people
that they ought not to charge duty on
wedding presents"
But all Vice-Consul Frazer's efforts
were in vain.
"Well it's too bad" said he to
Colonel Phelps. '"The Dukes friends
are anxious to send his bride number
of valuable presents, but the Duke
really cannot afford to pay duty on
them, as they are going right out of
the country again.
NOW, her Most Gracious Majesty
the Queen desires to send his Grace
bride a camel s-hair shawl. VIII that
not be exempt"
Il am very sorry" said Colonel
Phelps, but we will have to charge
duty"
rs there no way by which we can
bring the present in just for the we'd
ding-say, for instance, allow the
bride to wear them at the ceremony,
and then send them out of the country
again?"
Colonel Phelps pondered. YES" he
said; there is"
"How? How. my dear sir?"
"F4ave the ceremony performed in
! the bonded warehouse"
"Deucedly clever" said Mr.. Frazer
doubtfully; "but it wouldn't do, 1 am
afraid 1t would be very bad form,
you know"
1t will only be a short time before
the Duke viii take his bonny bride to
Merrie England, and there amidst love
and luxury. and in the quiet posses
sion of her millions. the disagree
able incident of the diamond brooch

AN EMAscuLATED ORGAN.

After announcing in advance, with
flourish Of trumpets, that the Demo
cratic address would be reviewed in
the columns of the Tribune, that paper
contains a. vapid and dishwater mis-
representation of the greater part OF
the document, with virtual recogni-
ton of the truth of the points it estab-
fishes
There have been many evidences Of
late that the editorial columns Of our
Republican neighbor have lost vigor,
tone, perception of argument and
ability to meet It. Consistency, logic
and honest admission of palpable error
were never conspicuous ornaments on
its shameless brow. But its recent at
tempts to belittle a great popular out
burst against religious interference in
politics. and to utterly falsify what was
presented to the public as its express
sion. give greater proofs than ever
that the Tribune lacks as much in edi-
torial capacity as in common honesty
and truth.
Let any fair man read the address,
anu luttl COIulJ1IC Will N4lC AAADOAAS
says forms the indictment" in that
address, and he cannot fail to see that
the intention of the Tribune writer was
to falsify it in every particular, until
the latter portion is reached, and that
is virtually admitted TO be all right -
We hope our Republican friends will
make this comparison. It will furnish
them sufficient proofs of the infamy as
well as the inanity 1--WE leave the 5 out
of the latter word deslgnedly) of the
editorial commentator, and thus show
the utter unrehability of their chief
source of political pabulum.
Strike out the dirty personal at

the wilfull and intentional distortions
Fof the Democratic address, and what
/ is there left on the editorial page of
the Tribune of Thursday? Only the
( reluctant admission that the closing
( Declarations of Truth in that docu-
ment are all right and therefore that
the main purpose and the logical con-

correct. Decentralization is as evident

scurrilous verbiage and transparent

THE CONVENTION CONVINCED RE-
PUBLICANS.

When the Democratic state commit
tee issued its call for the reconvening
of the Ogden convention, it did its duty
to the party. When that reassembled
convention met and freely discussed the
cause of its reconvening and put forth
an address to the people, it did its
duty to the party and to the people of
Utah.
What was the important fact en-
phasized by that convention? 1t was
the independence and manhood of those
who were there and Of those for whom
they spoke While this is so. it must
not be forgotten that there are many
voters who belong to the dominant
church that perhaps profess no partic-
ular allegiance to any party and whose
political action can be swayed by their
church leaders, If they know what their
wishes in the premises are Some
whose political allegiance sits lightly
upon them are subject to the same in
fiuence. Where the strength of parties
Is nearly equally divided, such a body
of voters hold the balance of power,
and where it can be invoked by any
ecclesiastical influence it is a real dan
ger to the state. The Democratic party
has fought that condition of things and
will continue to fight it.
Republicans profess to see nothing in
the Democratic convention and its adj
dress but "a grand stand play" whose
object is to catch votes. They know
better than that. They know that it
was the best evidence yet given of the
sincerity of the people of Utah in their
division on political lines There are
in this city Republican gentlemen who
have large financial interests, who in
the past fought the Mormon people,
and in whose minds there have always
been doubts about the sincerity Of the
division movement, whose doubts were
removed by the proceedings of that
convention and the declaration it put
forth And these same gentlemen are
prominent in political and social cir
cles. 1t was Democratic sincerity that
brought conviction to the minds Of
these suspicious Republicans.
The Democratic convention of last
Tuesday was the best earnest that the
people of Utah have ever given the
people of the nation that there must be
a separation of church and state in
Utah. and that there will be. The work
Of the delegates to that convention was
the work of patriots.
