Show JUST ItODK AT THIS. The Timfs continues to repeat tho falsehood that the Tribune "last October Octo-ber solemnly assured tho world that polygamy po-lygamy was dead in Utah." It docs riot matter much what Tue Timks says, but it is just as well to ooco more slate that the statement is a dirty falsehood. Tribune So it is a "dirty falsehood" Is it? Well, the language is elegiut, to bo sure, but it expresses rnge rather than fact. The Tribune on tho 7th of last October, iu speaking of the manifesto agaiust polygamy said: "Look upon it from any standpoint, this is a mighty advance, and the ultimate ulti-mate result can' only be th final death of polvgntny in the United States. The church will never agaiu dare to openly endorse the system unless it be ou some wild island or mainland where no laws of civilization interpose to prevent. So, in any event, whether intended to be so or not, it uioans the final end to polygamy." Thst is its language, and if it is not a solemn assurance of the death of polygamy po-lygamy wo would like to know what ou earth it is. It is not worth while for the Tribune to get so imjrry over the matter, for its bi!ling(j.ite does not apply in tho fstu oi' t .i record. It stated a truth ltut October, and it cannot can-not change that truth now. Polygamy is dead and the Tribune knows it. In order to bolster up tho liberal party, it would frighten people with the idea that the practice still menaces the territory, ter-ritory, but its own utterance of last October sets the seal of insincerity upon its present position. |
