| Show THE FREE LANCE In Paris the salon is an old established institution in politics Each faction has asocial a-social center over which a gifted woman presides and there in an atmosphere of music converse elegance loveliness and genius some of the most momentous questions ques-tions that agitate Franco and her government govern-ment are decided Princes ministers and tribunes are habitues of the salon in which statecraft intrigue and conspiracy have ample play Tbiers and Favre and Gam betta often championed in the chamber of deputies that which had been practically determined in the Republican salon on the night before Today Mme Adams is the one of greatest prominence the one in I which the most noted men of the republic meet and the one in which the most refined I hospitality prevails Well may any woman I aspire to the dignity and influence that the position of hosiuss in such an cstablishu lend her We believe that Miss Kate Fields had some such end in view when sue settUd in Washington Bright enough sue is for it and ambitious too She can becharming be-charming even i she cannot be handsome when she tries but unlortunateiy Miss Field is too onesided too narrow to sway or influence men of deliberate minds and besides this is not a genial soil for tire growth and cultivation of the political I alon it came into existence in France at I a period when the right of free speech and I free assemblage was curtailed and people had to seek other avenues of exchange tllan the hastings At any rate Miss Kate Field is not a factor outside of her inter sting individuality in tho political affairs of this country and being cunning sho knows it t t t Three hours after her arrival in Salt Lake city a HEUALD reporter met the lady and interviewed her in the Walker house She was then quite sure conditions had not changed in Utah What is the use of her coming all this distance with preconceived notions in her head that no evidence nor demonstration can remove l Is it simply to tell the people who read Cafe Fells irashintjton that prompted by an honest desire to sea for herself sho ventured on the trip only to find alas her original bad impression continued And yet she knew all that before she removed her traveling cloak and would have known as much i sho had never come here t t t While THE HEUALT > representative was till conversing with Miss Field Judge Baskin mudo his appearance We imagine JUdge Goodwin and some other extremists of the Liboral party called on her later And from these irreconcilaoles she draws idiculous her inspiration and information How t t tIt t-It was early in the reorganization of party lines when somebody remarked that the new movement was not sincere We notice Miss Field used the samo phrase She had committed it to neinory because its it-s the easiest thing in tho world to meet an objection with an apt phrase when truth and knowledge avail not TTT And yet the evidences of a change and a mighty change lie right around us An unprejudiced mind can detect them without half trying Tho leading Gentiles of Utah appreciated tho change and fling ing away ambition which they might have gratified in the Liberal party now that it had come into power in the chief cities they set to work in unison with the Mormons to effect the salvation of Utah on national issues I the country can bo governed on such linosmeeting every oustacle why should not Utah bo t t t Mark ye these self same G ntiles labored for five and ten and twenty years in the rank and tile of tbs Liberal party when there was not a ghost of n chance for their recognition when it was all work and no play and just at the turning point when some reward for their services might bo expected when more selfish men would have clung fast to what was in sight of of lice they said with Grant after the enemy had surrendered Lot us have peace ftt Still none are so blind as those who will not see and we imagine Miss Kate Field will go as she came with the Mormon question matter still oppressing her fine gray ff1 t And of such is the intelligence that is dished out to a gullible public as authentic information at first hand and gathered on the spot regarding the defunct Utah question Psbaw t t tIn t-In the face of President Woodruffs declaration 1 dec-laration under oath before the master I mas-ter of chancery that the practice of polygamy has been finally and irrevocably eliminated as a tenet of the Mormon ohurch any man who should still dispute it or claim that under any pretence or quibble it might be reinstated is crazy and with a lunatic it is no use arguing We take it that the people of Salt Lake and Utah have better business to attend to than to quarrel over a defunct matter Certainly THE HEUAID has The now era has come to stay and the dawn is already broadening into day Reduce the tariff tax reinstate silver to its proper place abolish sinecures like the Utah commission commis-sion render anolhei force bill impossible turn the rascals out these are some of the new duties imposed upon the Democrats of Utah and it will keep them pretty busy to attend to them properly Let the dead i past bury the dead I I I I I The Republican party must got go-t t t I That is an excellent suggestion which will soon be carried into effect to intro dtlce into tho Democratic club social and literary featurts during the winter and to invite prominent speakers to address the members and visitors t t t By the way is there anything going to be done this winter for the poor people who would like to improve their mental equipment equip-ment i they had an opportunity offered them as in other cities In other words aver there any night schools going t > be es tablibhcd in Salt Lake city I We believe they would llourish and do more immediate and direct good than any other agency wo can think of How does the board of education Icei about the mater flf Democracy and education go together Give us the latter und tho former will follow fol-low us a necessary result |
