Show Smart. ! Elitors Herald: If the Salt Lake Tribune is not Boiart it is nothing. What wido sweep, and what two-edged power there is in thorough criticism? When a'l Americans understand that tbe "beautiful sentences" with which Mr. Hayes concludes his ioaugural arc from "the church litany, and are used in behalf of the high court of parlia meut," they must needB be astonished aston-ished at the Tribune's redolence of erudition. How sagacious, too. How it helps us in our unsteadiness, and under Lhe strain of extraordinary excitement, ex-citement, when we might so easily lose balance and yield overdue admiration admir-ation of what comes pat to the crisis, "to know all about the case? Had Hayes closed with a "beautiful" "beauti-ful" quotation from the Lord's prayer the Tribune KTjuid have been bound to tell mankind, in order to exhibit its own profound research and shut ofl extravagant admiration, that the said prayer is found in the New Testament and is used in the church's offices tor the baptism of infants, and the burial of the dead; and is !so said daily in the household house-hold of the queen of England. ''Av Coubse." P.S. Come to think of it, isn't there something in St. Paul's writings writ-ings about praying for kings and those in authority, that we may lead quiet and peaceful lives? The Tn buna keeps this hack, however, as a reserve fund of minacious critical patriotism, to be drawn upon hereafter here-after in some great national crisis when people will want something critjea to steady them. j |
