Show Tho Lie Nailed Dr. Kills Kopiy to the Epli-raim Epli-raim Tribune's. Correspoiulant on tho lie-cent lie-cent Fa i lure to Lecture in thU County, in tho S. L. Uerald. The ball is still rolling. The failure of Dr. Charles Ellis to lecture lect-ure at Ephraim is still furnishing fuel for controversy. The Ephraim Eph-raim Tribune correspotidant ought to feel pretty small by this time.but then we all know th, 7V,'e r-,i,r pondant are not built that way. From the following in the S. I.. Herald it seems that Dr. Charles Ellis don't squirm any under the truly "loir lash. A man does not have aa opportunity to exercise h.'s wit and wisdom to any better advantage advan-tage than when engaged in skinning a TribuneXvt, turninglt wrong side out and ethibit'ng it to the gaze of the public. Dr. Ellis is a great man in his way; he is an honest man, which means strenth and ultimate sucess, he is not religious and has no scruples scru-ples to hold him back from following follow-ing the defamer into his stronghold and giving him measure, for measure meas-ure though not in the sameenp. "To the Editor of the Herald. Your nothing if not witty, yet never the latter,'' your contemporaiy the Salt Like WMi-.hasthe following bit of free advertising far your correspondent.' "The last we heard from him (K!Ii) he was in Manti. lie may be in the temple working for the dead. Theie is money in it." I do not wish to seem captious about a ma'ter of this kind, but of course I am human. In that particular I am unlike un-like the Tribune. As aa auti-Moimon sheet it is inhuman. But being human, certainly it will be expected ot me that I keep a sharp lookout least the anti Mormon "theives" break through and steal my bo.ianza. I supposed Daniel H Wells was toocarefula man to give away my contract in the Manti temple, "working "work-ing for the dead" with "money in it". I hud a monoply, since undoubtedly, 1 must have been the first non-Mormon who ever succeded in getting into the temple. But now the Tribune and Times O, Dan'l, Dan'l! why did you give it away! . But, come to think of it, the Times man is a Jew ard no imperfect person can get imo a Mormon temple. That shuts him out. As to the Tribune men, Nelson's nose will keep him out, and there is 9,673 majority against Goodwin's going any where on top of the earth. Guess I am all right yet! One cannot help admiring the unselfish ness of the Tribune. Tae readiness with which it assails others for getting "money" is one of its most notable "fa'Drpfi " It rnii--f ho ndjinM.-l . . ouillluU, IUO, that it can do this with good grace, because be-cause it never does anything li't"muiicy The Tribune man scorns money. He borrows it and throws it away and never pays because he desires to rid the world of the "(iithy lucre." He "booms" mining min-ing schemes that may turn out to be very low grade diit. and pertiaps gets gifts of stock for his kind words, but it is only to waste the stuff and r;d the woild of tt the sooner. He advocate robbeiy of the Mormon Church uodur the style i f "escheat;" he advocates the robbery ol the Mormons under the had of "disfranchisemenflor J;,5o per month but he never takts the money. He is frifltttr 1 1 r I T niir.ii. (Ui r.Aan t ,1 belonging to the city for the 1 enefit ol au alleged company that wauls to start a railroad. Ol course if that company should ofler him almost as much as the "liberal" parly gave the Kalamazoo man to capture the city government, and give it too for his help iu capturing the "pioneer square," he would not accept ac-cept the money. The Tribune ol course has been run all these years utterly regardless re-gardless of money. The owneis, if any one knows who thev are, were of cot: 1 so woilh nothing wheu thty "took" the paper and they have been putting all tney were worth into it ever since, just for love of fighting the Moimons. The d.sinterestedness of the Tribune is only equalled bv that of the New Yoik picture pic-ture paper which comes out this week with an announcement that its object is to "kill poylgamy." It knows that polygamy has been a dead letter in Utah for years and was officially buried by the Church live months ago, but that does not prevent it from coming to the : trout now to di;r up the corpse and kill it anew for the bene :t nf "the American Ameri-can people." The Tribune and the Mew York paper seem to be doing more "work foi the dead" than any persons I know of, but of couise not because there is money in it. No one will suspect sus-pect them of anything so woildlyas lhat. They do not do it to tven sell their paper, for of course they give thimaway. I trust such disinterestedness disinterested-ness will be rewarded in the next life and if lean do anything to help such generous iellows in my working for the dea 1 in the Manti temple I give thtni carte blanche for their demands upon my time aud my best endeavors and seeing that their lives have been so scornful ol money, I will not take a cent for my sei vtces. I am sure, too, that brave old' Squire" Wells will not object. I have no ctonbt, if such a thing were possible, he would' et j y seeing me baptize the Tribmit scribblers for ihe remission of their sins It would be necessary to charge the water fiequently, but there is an abun dance of it, and by a copious use ol hy-pcisulphid hy-pcisulphid and other iii-Tribu!.e disinfectants dis-infectants I think I could bleacti them if only the engineer could get the water hot enough.
