Show "DELICACY COMMENDABLE'" Tho Albany Evening Times, of Oct, od, in an editorial on matters in Utah, after making au extract from the IIkrald, and referring to some of the papers of this city, says : It is a strange fact, and worthy ol note, how gingerly these papers tread ipon the borders of the debatable land, j Until within these lew weeks that the ' crisis has waxed serious, they have ig- nored it, and even now, a person who j had never heard of Utah and its pe ! culiar institutions, might read the Salt i Lake Herald's editorials without j getting any nearer to the core of the j difficulty tlian to lind that some rclig- j ious tenet was involved. What that I tenet is, he would hnd not the slightest hint of. This delicacy is commendable ' and suggestive. As there is no person iu the United States who reads the newspapers and who "never heard of Utah and its peculiar pe-culiar institutions" the point is not very well taken by the Time. If the editor ol that paper had read the Hkuald's editorials carefully, it would have lbuud that not oulyhave "the borders bor-ders of the debatable land" been freely crossed, but the whole ground of dispute dis-pute has been gone over, from a political polit-ical standpoint. But as we publish a h etc.-pa per we cannot a fiord to rill columns of every iMie with tho same points and arguments. Probably a standing article on the cause of the trouble in l.'iali, stereotyped and kept iu a prominent portion in this journal mijj-bt meet the wants of siieh of our contemporaries as do not IWllow closely the eoure of affairs in this Territory. |
