Show THE eASE OF SOTELDO Editors Herald The following are extracts from the Salt Lake Tribune The killing of the newspaper man Soteldo in the Washington Republican office may have been a most unfortunate affair but we do not soa that any particular partic-ular sympathy is due the man who was killed From the hisotry of his life and from his own anti mortem statement it is clear that be was a man who was ready for pay to attack anyone His ooor excuse that he bad to do as he was directed by his employers is no ex cuse at all A man who will for pay write things which injure other people ill i i entitled to no possible synipatny when called to account We think he wa served exactly right The ouly mistake was that the other brother was not killed alsoCom Compare the above with what fol i lows Penrose appears to be in the House not so much to represent the people as the News lobbyist to insist on printing the highest number of every document and the most frequent orders possible for printing to be done at that establishment If he gets commission on uch work his days labor l yesterday must have paid him well The following appear in the Mcrmon HERALD of yesterday The eastern papers announce that a few days ago the President nominated James A McKnight of Utah to be United States consul at St Helena We pre same the parson named is a young gentleman gen-tleman who gr 3w to manhood in this city and who is familiar to the HERALD readers as the au thor of the series of highly interesting inter-esting Dummy letters Mr McKnight hat been living in Paris for some years where he has been editing the American department of a newspaper The HERALD HER-ALD congratulates him on his nomina ton Too otnoe is worth about 2 000 a year A number of the Paris letter al luded to defended polygamy and the wrtar it is fair to presume must have been in the pay of the Mormon Church It is now in order for Elders Din woody and Romney to explain to the saints the canduct of Elder Rig s and not leave it to the miners and the representative repre-sentative of the other branch of polygamy polyg-amy who accompanied the excursion to California As the whole business is unfit publication in a respectable journal the particulars might be furnished the JDeseret News The scene at one of the San Francisco hotels might furnish an interests in-terests g chapter for the saintly crew who malijgr

ser-mon in which he said IWe can pro duce the greatest and taoothest liars or any other shade of character you can mention by rending an interview in the San Jose Mercury of the 27th An old polyg by the name of Dinwoody and another named Rooney stuffsd the reporter re-porter of that enterprising journal full The dirty polygi took cccaeiion to malign the Tribune and the whit poople of Utah and upheld the filthy custom of the church The proper plce for tHese ambulating polvaamous liars is in the Utah Penitentiary We understand a number of the excursionists ex-cursionists to California feel so outraged at the conduct of Elder Riggs that they purpose publishing a denunciatory card President Arthur ttanda pat with Governor Gov-ernor Murray and approves his course in Utah Let the holy priesthood put this in their revelation pipes and smoke it It will make them happy Brother Rgii is back from hi j excursion excur-sion to the Coast and says he likes it ao well that he will get up

evar is not happy over his work and thinks tbe southern people dont take to his barnyad religion with any degree of vigor The above collection represents the result of about five minutes hunting All are personal libels I close with samples of the libels of a general charactervery weak samples too It is a favorite amusement of good Latterday Saints in the back settlement settle-ment where they are uncontaminated by Gentilo civilization to cut out the tongues of each others cattle prod their neighbors colts to death with pitchforks and such like gentle and humane diversions diver-sions The Mormon papers are mildly rebuking thie playful disposition of the brethren by saying that such things Rl e becomicg of too common occur relle reiUtah polygamous Legislature can do less work and draw more pay than any other territorial I egislature in the coun try To swindle the government and enact en-act laws to cinch tbe Gentiles is all they can think about You might be indicted for repub lication but I do not suppose there is any danger in these cases as the parties seem to like it I have made no selection of other lines of Tribune excellence I have selected only a few of the libels The many squibs which cannot be copied without with-out the use of 1 I have left untouched I have nothing more to say than to predict that if a change is not made in this department depart-ment there will be serious trouble Remarks made in my hearing quite often indicate this I close with another an-other extract from the same paper Assassins of character are worse than the men who merely kill individuals for their work has the effect to spread amoral a-moral contagion which to the minds of people is what poison is i to the body MOSES |
