| Show THE WORLD TU NED OVER The New York World is now sailing under new colors so far as the personnel of the editorial and managerial departments are concerned con-cerned politically it remains the same the chief organ of the democratic demo-cratic party in the great democratic state of New York It is not the purpose of the HERALD to gratuitously gratu-itously advertise business enterprises enter-prises journalistic or otherwise but there is something in the position of our eastern cotemporary which elicits comments from all sources so that what all do we may safely undertake For a score of years the World has borne the banner of its party I through triumph and defeat endeavoring en-deavoring always to modify those natural ebullitions of feeliuus which lead to dangerous consequences incase in-case of the former and ever ready with words of encouragement when the dark hour of defeat sat like a pall upon the democratic hosts I does not appear that the paper has either borne false colors or held out impossible inducements for it has neither coincided with its partisans when it had reason to believe be-lieve them wrong nor nauseously lauded them when they proved to be right When its party was training strongly in the direction of inflation without attempting to command or oerbear it steadfastly and continuously made its opposition opposi-tion felt and this too without getting get-ting outside the traces until at last the many adopted the position of the few and wheeled into line on the basis of an inflexible money standard stand-ard Again its counsels on the delusive de-lusive doctrine of a high protective tariff have kept the party midway between two extremes by causing it to adopt the principle of a tariff for revenue only Its advice and protestations may at times seemed to have partaken of arrogance arro-gance or even demagogy but the results achieved have warranted such apparent assumption of authority au-thority It will no doubt be humiliating if not disastrous to the World for the tact to be proclaimed throughout Christendom that in Utah abide a class who are arrayed against its policy regarding our internal affairs For a great paper one whose greatness is attributable to its length and breadth of thought the discussion of national and social affairs to be thus hindered and hampered is unfortunate and untimely un-timely in the extreme Its usefulness useful-ness should not thus be contracted to a mere span It should learn in its new career that there are lessons to be gained from the past and one of them is that any paper which has the audacity to announce that there is a class of human beings in Utah who are at variance with the arbitrary methods of a mere fraction of the population is on the road to ruin it must know once for all that there is but one side to the Utah question and that is the side presented pre-sented by the minority it must understhnd that legislative enactments enact-ments and judicial rulings are only right in so far as they conduce to the advancement of certain ideas upheld by a select cabal whose residence resid-ence here is too recent and whose tenure to citizenship is too insecure to admit of the possibility of their being contaminated it must know chat an honorable citizen of New York ceases to be honorable in Utah the moment he fails to see anything but depravity on the side of the majority and anything but the most realistic phase of typical virtue on the side of the scattering few These suggestions are kindly meant and the World in its new estate will doubtless profit by them |
