Show j nients will Hock into it instead. Who knows the length to which s,aniUinj; might have run in this city, had not this pnjer exposed and held up to public in-dignation this very evil for the sake of its cessation? ho dares say what limit there would have been to the Sunday saloons THE DEFENDERS OF SAN PETE The Register has been admonish-ed by a few of its friends and well wishers that the criticism of the'eiti ns" party of Manti was a liule too severe. We will say in this connection: The person who wields the faber of (he Register, has been in San Pete for some time. There has been a steady encroachment, by the ele-ment scored in our late issue, of the rights of the people. The wire pul-lers of that party are Liberals at heart with not enough courage to own it; or else they hang on to the skirts of the Peoples Party, for the better chance it gives them. It has been a very fortunate thing for the "left wing, "as they style themselves, that the press has not been in favor of radical measures heretofore. Indeed, it has taken a great deal of discrimination to deal with this subject. Men raised in the same town, with almost it would seem, iden-tical interests, have taken opposite side in this controversy, each de-claring the strongest adhesion to the People's Party. The general feeling among that time honored party has been to deal very liberally with their fractious and dissenting members. They were strong enough to hold all such in check, and allow them a long rope. From time to time they have made concessions to this element, almost to the verge of wronging the people: and by tacit but for our Mann agmst them? Who can say that the cily council would have suddenly bestirred itscll to seme a great er supply of water fur this city had silent? Wli.it security, in short, would the people have against the maladministra'iou of city nflatrs if the press did not keep up a running com-mentary and, if necces"ary,a criticism of ihe acts ol public ollicialr.'? No, there is, as old Horace Greeley was w ont to say, a different nd a stel iter path 1 r the public newspaper th in that of acrniiesencc or silence when the in-terest of the people Is in da.iser through the incomp tence or dishonesty of pub-lic officials; the cause of the oppressed and the poor must be plead, even though it can never repay advocacy; the interests of the people must be guarded tlioujjh those wlu mainly suppoit news-papers and those who have the dispens-ing of public patronage in their hands, are offended and antagonized by such independence of the press. And 'hat shall continue to be the course of this paper, no matter what may be Ihe snars ol sub sidized rivals, the petulance of officials, or the exasperation of crimin-al refugees, be they gamblers.drunkards foot-pod- s or what u t. For we know, no matter what the ignorant may think about the matter, that capital and men are attracted to those localities where the freest discussion.a gitation and crit-icism of the city governments prevail, this being the surest guarantee of safe and good government; while the quiet acquiescence of a muzzled press doe. more to injure the growth ot a city than the hottest criticism of its .official man-agement can possibly do. We shall continue to criticise or we think proper.the public acts of all public officials. In other words we shall continue, to the best of our ability, t;i preform our duly to the public, and shall utterly dis-regard whuather the Liberal riir,' is en raged or pleased because we da sj. agreement, many things have been suppressed, because they looked so "ugly," in print. If a man did meet a number of professional kickers and enter into a conspiracy to steal the caucus it must not be mentioned, be-cause it would disgrace us abroad. Even when a certain scamp, who lived in the respect of the people of Manti for years, joined the church, and married one of Manti's fairest daughters; failed to make a business veuture pay, left town, wrote a scan-dalous letter to the Trib., slandering many of our best citizens and black guarding the church; the local press reproduced it,and about half of Manti was so mad that they never got over it. Not mad because he had wrong-ed the community, but because by reproducing it the citizens of Manti became acquainted "with the fact. Now all this time these men have been publishing little squibs, and .some not so small, in papers like the Trib. that had so meager a cir-culation that the people of Manti have not realized to what extent this has been done. Matter that would have been considered : emphatically out of place in the home paper has been freely, though one sidedly dis-cussed abroad, to the disgrace of the People's Party and management of the local press. If the caucus steal of four years ago had been shown up in all its beariHgs, as it should have been, there would not have been any talk of "amalgamation" "compromise," or a "peace com-mittee called at this election. "There would never have been a "citizens" party, for there are men in that party who would not associate themselves with such schemes. Four years ago the Trib. stated that there were fourty Loyal Liegers In Manti, and Major Bynon was gent to lecture to them. If at any time there has been more than forty active oppositionists to the People's Party we would like to see them pointed out. I low many of the men who have held office under a Peo pie's Party rule in Manti, participa-ted in the caucus fraud of four years ago? It would no doubt cause some surprise if there names were publish-ed and they really belong to the public. We are no longer an isolat-ed community,secure in our position; we are in the midst of the hurly-burl- y of modern civilization. We will have the same issues to meet, the same battles to fight, that Salt Lake, Ogden, Provo and other laces have. The 5 questions may ot.be presented in the same form, but they emulate from the same source. Those who accept public pffice.must expect to render an ac-count. Thou who Mo not usd to il will Ht to get used to it; and those who don't want to see their names mixed up in questionable affairs, must Veep themselves out of them, for we claim and shall exercise the write to publish whatsoever belongs to our business md the public. The Herald of the 7th. voices our sentiments in this matter admirably. It would be a p'easant thing for the Liberal ring and tlie r subsidized organs if this paper would only abstain from any criticism of their incompetent admin-trallo-but it would be a bad thing for the prosperity and growth of this city were w to keep silent. Once let the (suspicion get abroad that ihe public press is afraid or unwilling to expose the weakness or inefTcieucy of the official goverment of a city and buisness men capital and desirable acquisitions in the shape of inhabitants and buisness flairs generally, will shun that city while (he rough and undesirable criminal de The County Register A WeoSUy Nownjmpcr, . i irii to rha Ioloraatt aaJ Growth of San Pete Tha Cinderella of Ceunliea," Everybodysliould.be iusur-e- d against fire.

For some eight weeks the veteran painter, C. C. A.

Yesterday afternoon a reporter en-tered the studio, which is 111 the place of business of T. C. Morris, and had the pleasure of viewing the paintings. Mr. Christensen placed the various pictures in the best posi-tion to be viewed and explained the scenes depicted on the canvas. lhey are mostly views jn early days of Missouri and Southern Utah and represent scenes of carnage and bloodshed, the chief actor being Mr. Hancock, of Ilarrisville, for whom they were painted." The list of those so far done is: " The bull Fight on Pedcr River, Hurtling of the Morley settlement in Missouri, Burning of the Hancock Farm, De-struction of the Press at Independ-ence, Killing of Joseph Smith, The Hancock family Leaving Jissouri, Arrest of Walker."

La r sen j There is p'.enty of good, strong, English to give expression to wit, tlrollery, indignation, or sympathy, without recourse to the phrases which belong to horse-jockey- gam-blers, tipplers, and vagabonds. The street Arab picks up slang, as he does the ends of old cigars, from the gutter. Surely, a well-bre- d girl is not on the same level in her speech and manner. Why should she use vulgar words any more than she would stain her hands? If it were not for the country news paper and the influence it has held in the building up of the better for-tunes of the great west, thousands of merchants who never spend a dollar with the printer would to day be laboring in some laborious pur-suit for the bare subsistence of life. The home paper is the one absolute necessity of every community that is compelled to twice pay for every dollar it gets. The habit of talking slang grows rapidly, It is like reporting a bit of scandal. Have you ever noticed if you say an unkind word against a neighbor, how quickly a chance comes to say another? And with just that same appalling ease the habit of using careless, coarse words increases. Weeds grow rapidly. The time may come when politics w'd mean all that is noble and good, when a small boy will break an apple in two and give his sister the big-gest halfjwhen a tramp will work and a stray dog won't bite, but the dav will never dawn when a fly can tickle a drowsy man's nose without mak-ing him jump. The Swiss government has decid-ed that thestory of William Tell is a fiction, and must be excluded here-after from the Swiss school books. And thus is blotted out at one fell swoop all the knowledge of Swiss history possessed by a large num-ber of American people. |
