Show MAD. Tho Salt Lake Herald is aggravated ag-gravated because its New York namesake name-sake calls President Brigham Young an Englishnaan. There's no necessity neces-sity of being rambunctious about it, as everyone who knows anything of the history of Mormonism knows that Brigham is a genuine Yankee. But English or American, he is one of the smartest men alive; and were it not : lor that infusion of the "plural wife" system, we might call him one of the best. One thing is sure: He has done more for the development of the auction of country betweon the Kocky Mountains and the Sinrra Nevada than the extreme moralists of the east-fim east-fim r.it.ipR whn dprtrfinate hin "wik-wl practices" ever did, or will ever he possessed of energy or force of character char-acter enough to accomplish. The following is the shot the S. L. Herald gives the New York paper, in which we can but say we must con ouri "The New York Herald can get ofl' more damphoolism in the eamesp ice, when trying to make a sensation, than any other paper on the globe. Its latest effort in this line is endeavoring endea-voring to prove that President Brigham Brig-ham Young is an Englishman, who left England, some forty years ago "to join the Mormons." The editorial writer on the Herald who perpetrates this absurdity should he tapped for the simples, and then placed in charge of a couple of mild lunatics to look after his welfare. He certainly isn't fit to bo trusted at large." Rase Hirer h'erih'. |
