Show Conundrums. Salt Lake City, April 11, 1874. Editors UewUlr Will the Tribune, while in its fulsome ful-some rage of laudation, be so kind as to satifactorily explain to not a few keen-scented, bed-rock outsiders, how his Honor, the Chief Justices' decision deci-sion in the suit between the London Emma, limited, and the Illinois .Company, came to be published in London nineteen hours in. advance of its public promulgation here. Also, what induced his Honor to preside over tho public farce at (,he final compromise com-promise settlement between those companies, holding tho case, under this judicjid farce until the stipulated 5,000 snares of Jiimnia stock oould be purchased in London at a given price, for the mutual benefit of all concerned r "Jockey of Norfolk, bo not too bold; Dickey, thy muster, was bought and sold." ' Modesty and justice would eeepi to suggest a clearing up of these "ways that are dark" before fulminating bo vociferously against an Associate Justice whoso record is as spotless as the driven snow, at home and abroad. Why not publish nnd fullydiscuss the demerits of Judge IiJmereon'H decision? Explanations have been called for, time and again, in regard to those late mining decision's of the Chief Justice, i hat the unsophisticated, as well as many leal gentlemen also, might recover a lost confidence. But Lost, dissolved in bis superior rnys. One tide of glory, one unclouded blaze, That o'erflows bis courta" Seems to have so bewildered and deluded, de-luded, as well, the Tribune people that vhey strike out wildly as if in a death struggle, regard less of ai m. IS'ow.there is a large class in Utah who believe there arc more ways than one to correct cor-rect honestly imbibed errors, as compared com-pared lo arbitrary standards. And thus believing, we receive with very poor grace the repeated denunciations as '"Jack-Mormons." This class has never yet been contaminated by be-pomipff be-pomipff members of any church, nor do they propose to compromise their better judgment by so doing; hence tbey are b!ow to discriminate between priestly and orthodox pretentions. Ousting the Tribune reporter bo iummariTy from (-ho City Council rooms was an act deserving severe criticism, but that act even, does not justify an indiscriminate crusade , against those less combaUve, and who choose rather to submit much to time, death and example. Will our Vigorous friends of the Tribune answer thoso two interrogatories before, by the process of infusion, they attempt to translate "'the stubbornness of fortune for-tune into bo quiet and so sweet a : style?"
