Show I A fkW days since i)r, GrovtB of Salt Lake died. The papers were full of warm eulogies of the dead man. But now comes the New Star with a savage and exceedingly bitter attack upon him. This is rarely done save when the deceased has been in public life, and only then when he has committed com-mitted some unforgivable sin against society. As a rule, when a man has passed the portals into the other world he is held sacred from attack at the hands of hit survivors. Tne heart must be very bitter or else have been orely outraged by the deceased, which could entertain the feelings expressed by the New Star. We regret that any newspaper should feel as the Star does toward any one who has gone before the tribunal of the Almighty. We may weep over the memory of bia faultp, but we should leave the judgment judg-ment to God. The New Star doesn't seem to know whethtr to fight for or against the adoption of the constitution. It 1 ad two leading articles m one column on Friday. The first was rather in favor of adoption, the second was distinctly in opposition. This will never do i r either a new or an old Star. Wa do n t like the every provision of the document, docu-ment, but we are in favor of statehood, and this wecannot have for 60me years unless we elect the present newly finished constitution. Htnce we gulp down what wa don't like and go for statehood. We deriously object to woman's wo-man's suffrage, and the judiciary article, but there is good meat between these two provisions, enough, Indeed, to warrant oar enthusiastic support. The Logan Journal is ably booming Cache valley and the city of Logan. It does it in nice shape, but it will not alWBys have a monnpe-jy oi me uewn-paper uewn-paper business there. Aa the country progresses and settles up, other papers pa-pers will come into Loan. Meet them hespitablv and let the best man and best paper survive. The Nation is dead but others will come a'ter it, and the Journal may yev. .be called upon to meet foeman worthy of its steel, even on its own door-step. Is the Herald preparing to 8ght the constitution? Its article of Friday morning would look that way, only we know how ardently that paper pa-per supports statehood. Exercise a a little patience, Bro. Herald. Having gone along many years without any voting privileges, the good ladies of Utah will be able to worry along until next time, without the right to vote. The new Star is an astute paper, is well up in Utah matters, but it seems to bare faint doubts about the adoption adop-tion of the constitution. It need never fear. That document is not just all our fancy painted it before it was writ, but it will be elected easily, without a fear, as It ought to be. Hon. J. C. Sibley yesterday passed through Ogden on his way to California. Califor-nia. He will make dates for an ad dress there and at Salt Lake at an early day. Why not give Provo a date as well? Provo would like to hear the distinguished advocate of silver. It is no use to address arguments to republican women on political questions. ques-tions. They will always yote with their husbands; and if they do not, the blue atmosphere about that domicile will be unhealthy for even the oldest and boldest of campaigners. We do not believe that there is more than one public officer in every ten thousand who would be Influenced against his duty by a free railroad pass. All this talk about pass-bribing is very silly, we think. Eubika had a light fall of snow the other day and her electric light plant went into operation at the same time. There is to be no darkness in the brave little mining camp while these con-conditions con-conditions prevail. Alt. Utah will rejoice with Ogden that the new iron plant is on the way, and the works are to be a verity. Gcod for Utah, and thrice good for plucky and business-like Ogden, The Manti Sentinel in its last issue has some vigorous talk for our cotem-temporary,the cotem-temporary,the Enquirer,which it would be well for the latter to look after. The Springyille Independent this week is as bright as a new pin. Go it, Daye. |
