Show GOOD WILL RESULT In so far as it will have any effect on the Utah Statehood question the hearing hear-ing now going on by the House committee com-mittee on Territories is a waste of time and words The determination is not to admit Utah to the Union just now facts figures and appeals will not avail against this conclusion We dont care what showing may be made this Congress Con-gress will do nothing looking to the admission ad-mission of the Territory The Senate settled that a year ago and the Democratic Demo-cratic caucus last December emphasized the Senates decision when it voted to exclude Utah from the omnibus bill with which the House is playing The only explanation that we can find for the present hearing is that the committee com-mittee had nothing to do and wanting to display some industry concluded it might put m u few days listening to talk about Utah But while the Statehood matter will not be affected in the least it is believed be-lieved good may come from the hearing hear-ing The committee certainly and the country probably will n more than they ever knew concerning the nature of the war that is being waged against the Utah community It seems to us that it could not have been known generally that the governor of the Territory Ter-ritory was its very worst enemy doing all in his power and all the time employing em-ploying his personal and official influence in-fluence to bring annoyance and trouble upon the people The fact has now been made plain the exposure of the true character of His Excellency being complete As one after another of his infamous slanders were shown up he had to sit there and listen the commit com-mit e men noting what a despicable creature he was and how viciously vi-ciously he was performing the duties af his high office As the affidavits affi-davits were read specifically giving the lie to Wests statements the committee could not have but thought that the people of Utah were entitled to more consideration and commiseration than had been accorded them In this way the hearing will result in good To have Congress and the country coun-try enlightened as to the character of the men and their motives who are assailing Utah with a venom inspired by greed and hate will prove beneficial though it may not help the Territory into the Union |
