Show A S4D SPECTACLE. The liberals are supremely disgusted dis-gusted with the winter's work of their Washington delegate, Charity Hem-ingi-ay. He has been dodging about the capital fur weeks, buttonholin? congressmen, laboring with eoniEQ it-tees it-tees and bamboozling newspaper reporters, re-porters, but has accomplished abso-Ki'ely abso-Ki'ely nothing; and will soon come borne without honor or glory. Hem-ingray Hem-ingray is industrious, and bo is a hen with a brood of chickens. They both pick about and cackle a good deal over very small matters, and soon make of themselves nuisances nui-sances to those unfortunate enough to be obliged to listen to their cackles and watch their soratchings. Hem-ingray Hem-ingray has found the special legislation legisla-tion business up-hill work. It is too much for htm to grapple with. He went forth heralded by loud-sounding trumpets, and uromised wonderful work. Alter wrestling with the fates and congresmen for ao loDg, he finds himself further from the desired goal than at first. Tue melancholy vein ruunintE through the htierB he sends home, is to the etlect that nothing i netd be expected from this con-1 gress. The prospect looked, bright at the beginning, but all hope has departed. He has been defeated and oul-genoraled at every tnru, and has not gained a single point. While bis mode of attack was illegitimate, and irregular in every respect, he w. overcomo by honorable and honest means. He employed falsehood and it was thrown down by truth; he (oared into fields of fancy and was overtaken by eolid facta. And now be charges bia fa lurtf upon one thing and another, in his defeat blaming Governor Gov-ernor Emery, the Mormons and con-gresimon. con-gresimon. It is a truly sad picture that tt'-e delegate present limp, lame, dvleated aud disheartened. Hia coming home cannot be considered in any other light than that of a humiliating retreat; a sort of sneaking back for an opportunity to hide himself. him-self. He is now engaged in paving tbe way for that coming, and ere many days we may expect bis arrival in Utah. He will come, but not with the proud foot of a cooqueror. |
