Show The Sensation to Order. Mr. Jerome B. Stillson, the well-known well-known correspondent, formerly of tho WorM n.i . . . uuu nun icjjitoeuiiug me Herald in Utah, telegraphs an account ac-count of two attcmpta to assassinate him in Salt Lake cily. He claims that the motive far this is to ha found in his letters to the Herald from Utah. It will be remembered that one of the vagaries of the Herald was that it would ho possible to induce the government gov-ernment of the United States to embark em-bark in a war against Utah. After a number of fiery editorials to that eflect, it sent Mr. Stillson to the domiuion of the Mormons in order to write the matter up. His first interview inter-view with Brigham Young was ex ufcij luieieouug, uui not Bl all warlike. As this did not suit the authorities in New York, however, Mr. Stillson'a subsequent dispatches and letters purported to say that Brigham Youn? was making apeechea and using all his efforts to have tho Mormons Mor-mons declare war against the United States. On the other hand, Brigham Young and the Mormons declare that his remarks have been misrepresented, misrepresent-ed, and that they havo no notion of doing anytoing of the kind. So the war cry has proved a failure, and if the Mormons want to kill Mr. Stillson Still-son for doing what he was told to do by his employers in New York, they well as criminal. If the Herald could only get up a war with the Mormons it would no doubt cheerfully cheer-fully sacrifice Mr. Stillson upon the altar of its newspaper enterprise. The wish of this live journal to do something startling sometimes leads to the verge of well indiscretion. New York Graphic, June 1st. |
