Show N OLD SALT LAKER He Touches on Topics Both Past and Present GOOD ADVICE TO UTAH DEMOCRATS Ibo Situation i Montana Should be n Warning to the Democrats or ThIs Territory u Thor New York March 2 1590 Special correspondence of Tnt HEUALD I scarcely expect since the Salt Lako city election t find so many invitingocca sions for settingup the Utah Liberals as were offered during the agitation and progress pro-gress of that cent But if my correspondence correspond-ence should perchance turn t other topics permit me to say now onco for a that there can be no question but that many of the Liberals aro JUST AS GOOD AS THE MO11MOXS when they behave themselves Tho greatest difficulty with a largo proportion pro-portion of them i tho marvelous ease with which their former ethical culture i for 1 gotten a soon as they settle in Utah I J realize that this is largely yes almost entirely en-tirely owing t the evil influence of the Salt Lake Tribune which In 1 somo most S astonishing way is able t persuade those who elsewhere aro models of independ lace and foremost in upholding fair play find justice under a circumstances that i Utah a Gentile must forget that the simple and primal virtues of veracity and honesty arc tho root of all that is sublime l character Is it that tho virus of hydrophobia so permeates the Gentile atmosphere there I that only by a miracle can a newcomer I escape tho contagion What else can it be that affects so quickly the mind of the most liberal and intelligent Gentile unless ho resist with aU his 1 Energy tho moment he becomes a resident 4 cf Utah

undoubtedly the cause of great crime and the fear of being called a JackMormon has also an astonishing astonish-ing influence in bringing the average Gentile Gen-tile into line with the lad dogs But one would imagine that but few of the Utah Liberals could endure the full glare of truth now and then turned upon the vulUires and fanatics who are determined deter-mined t rule or rub Utah Cannot they ice themselves as others see A them I Do not they know that the Chicago JleraM voices the sentiments of all who understand un-derstand the situation in Zion when i says saysIt is tho misfortune of the American Amercn people that their case against Mormonism fhould be urged in Utah by band of inalig jiaut blackguards devoid of principle in rapablo ot reason and strangers to the commonest

BashiBazouks could attach thereto rae assumption of political power un 3cr fctlfs astlcal organization is still the bugbear which frightens many into line with the vultures and fanatics But those who arc so readily alarmed and who believe be-lieve that the dominant majority in Utah aro not homogeneous American population popula-tion forget that there are no elements in Utah hat aside from their

Omahas during his late visit t that wild tribe which dwell upon the banks of the Big Muddy river in Nebraska George and myself for sometime some-time rubbed shins under the hospitable and vellfllled table of good old Madame Bprague on First East street nearly twenty years ago And he has always had the reputation of being a wideawake and earheaded Gentile When he says Now wo will force the Mormons t sell Jfcelr property I am inclined to believe fat be intended t indicate that i any of the Omahs possessed ducats in quantum tufflcienlum they could g right out t Zion ind purchase the entire

al-lowed t quote from the Arizona Kicker on tho boom subject as follows Last week wo established a new department de-partment in the K Tthat of answering questions concerning disputed points on games

that such a department hit tho bullseye is evidenced by the fact that wo have added twentyone new subscribers within a week and they are still coming I Wo were intending t devote this space t religious news I5ut after looking the ground over and discovering that there was none to chronicle we gave way t tho urgent demands gc mands of the boys and instituted tho new department It is the general belief that this will do more t boom our town than i we had secured 550000 for a now government govern-ment building All communications intended in-tended for this department should be
