Show SPIK1T OF UTAH'S TRESS. The Provo Enqnin r thus calls attention atten-tion to a serious evil anil at the same time deals the city marshal a well merited mer-ited dip; in the rilis: "The number of young men seen coming out of the back doors of saloons on Sabbath is rather suspicious that business is being done on this sacred day that should not be engaged in. Our city marshal says he is no detective, and vt'll not do what he calls 'underhanded 'under-handed work,' in order to catch the saloons selling liquor on Sunday. Sun-day. He has kindly consented, however, to arrest any rum-seller against whom charges may be made by any one." a 1In I'tiih democracy f-till deals in tyranny, 'be democrats of too legislature have Men lit to deny one of the dearest rlghtl of the people the right of petition.
