Show assuuis that tho revival and perpetuation perpetua-tion of polygamy is the guiding motive of the mormon people and publishes dissert ions on the subject founded upon h pottiesis instead of giving its attention atten-tion to the plain facts that aro now presented. J is niin is to break the force of tho argument furnished by these facts and to lead the public mind off into the field of speculation, spec-ulation, but it blindly destroys its own case. For instance, the Tribune asserts that a law against polygamy in Utah would be as ineffective as a law against slavery would have been in Mississippi in IKiU. Jt happens that there was no law against slavery in Mississippi i ti ls."i(, but there is a law there tig;iiut it now, and it is observed as strictly as in l'euiisyh atiia. Since uur contemporary contempor-ary h:is referred to the slave holding iicblioii as an illustration, wo will beg ieavo to follow it up and give it a practical prac-tical application. Mississippi was wedded to slavery in common with all her southern neighbor. The issue led to. a grunt war.

They feared that slavery would lie re established in some form and tiist disaster would cgme to the csuse for which they had fought.

Hut the lingeriuo; opinions that colored southern minds did not alfeut the final result. Slavery had been killed forever for-ever and it was impossible for it to be revived. Just so polygamy has been killed in Utah, and the Tribune cannot hope to make it an issue by quoting columns of hair splitting testimony as to men's opinions. The most sincere southern man would not have been per- mitted by tho government to git on a jury that was to pass upon some matter which had been involved in the eon-test eon-test between the sections, but tho fact that he could not have stood tho searchiug examination of tho attorneys would not have been construed as evidence of a plot among the southern people to set up slavery again in any form. Tho fact is that we are not now climbing climb-ing the hill that the Tribune is running at. We are ou tho plain of reason seeking seek-ing the best pathway for the advance of tho intelligent thought of tho community, com-munity, liy tho time the hill in reached a safe path will be found over it, and the Tribune cannot drive the people back into the desert by tolling them that a giant lurks in the mountain pro-pared pro-pared to devour them if they move a step nearer.

The Tribune is preving itself to be a false guide for those who follow it, for It leads them into endless contradictions contradic-tions and places them in many ridiculous ridicu-lous posilious. It bothers it to get over Ihe fact that many very wise and prurient pru-rient meu are firmly convinced that the time has come to establish new party aliiliations, to dropping old issues and passing on the new achievements.

The Tribune climbs a good many hills before it gets to them and without attempting to discover whether there is any natural aud easy road by which to leach the summits it is desired to scale. There are conditions condi-tions here now to be uiet fearlessly, honestly and candidly, but it walks over them and charges madly at conditions condi-tions which it conjures up for the future. fu-ture.
