Show It is not often we find good coming out of Nazareth but when we find the Tribune endorsing the income tax proposition we feel like renewing our faith in the ultimate fate of the republic. repub-lic. There is a world of hope and money too in that very suggestion. Let the Tribune withdraw its opposition opposi-tion to the Wilson bill and soon Utah will blossom aa doth the rose. The repuolican papers are very gracious grac-ious to Chief Justice Merritt. Ye Gods! Is this but the dawning of the millen-ium millen-ium ! Indeed, so admirable is the character char-acter of Judge Merritt that even : the New York Sun would be compelled to speak well of him, if it spoke at all. But sure there must be something out of gear somewhere in the universe that the Utah republicans speak well of a democratic appointee. Is it the massing of the nebulous system into a dozen big stars, or has a Bielle's comet struck Mount Nebo, or, indeed, is it true that common com-mon fairness has at last reached the re- publican heart in Utah? The announcement of Clove's election elec-tion to the position of minute clerk of the upper house day before yesterday was a little premature, it seems, jast a little. But the poor boys are a little enthusiastic and liable to make mistakes mis-takes such as this. Clove comes out all right, however, and holde down the place with more grace than one would suppose. Doubtless it will break Councilman Council-man McEwan'a heart to know that his great champion, the Splatterblotch,has gone entirely back on him. But such is the fact. When the merchants of Proyo and Joe. are concerned, of course Joe. cannot hope that his friends of the Splatterblotch order will stand by him. Great is humbug, and truly is the Splatterblotch his prophet not Joe's. Now. dear "Tug," if you make another an-other bargain with the faithless republicans repub-licans be sure you have good bonds f or the faithful performance of their part of the contract. There is nothing like bond8,Tug, when you deal with the re- publicans, nothing. Utah ha3 72,000 children at school at this writing. This yast army of youth steadily at work in the schools will soon raise the standard of intelligence intelli-gence in Utah to that of the best prevailing pre-vailing in the west or even in the United States. Mesa county, Colorado, -last year gave a bounty of $1.00 per ton on sugar beets. The Sentinel urges the commissioners com-missioners to continue the policy for the incoming season. That fake proclamation of Dole, president of Hawaii, is the first eleam of humor we have as yet been able to detect in all this Honolulu matter. Poor Tug ! Poor fellow! But Tug boy; this has ever been the gratitude of republics, especially when run by the lepublican party. Yes. The Ogden Press may rest assured as-sured Col. Sam Merritt will be Judge Zane'a successor is, we are glad to be able to say. Uncle G rover is somewhat slow in removing offensive partisans. |
