Show I "Is State Government a Failure?" Lsks tho Louisville Post. It certainly comes pretty near to it in Kentucky. Thanksgiving day is cruel to the turkeys tur-keys this year in an abnormal degree; it hurries on their fate by coming on ; the earliest possible date. t As The' Tribune surmised before the election, tho depth of graft in county mismanagement has by no means been reached; more of it comes to light day by day; graft once successful crystal-izes crystal-izes into custom, and then gets on as smooth as holy oil.' Tho "army" of Panama is alleged to be "spoiling for a fight" with Uncle ,"am. After the fight, it would be spoiling indeed. Perhaps tho best thing that could be done would be to send a detail of the Salt Lake police force to keep that bumptious army in order. The St. Louia Exposition management has fully repaid to the Government the $1, 600,000 advanced to put the grounds and exhibits in 3hape. It has been a money-maker, it appears, from the start; and' if it could have been kept' open on Sundays, it would have done even better than it hao, financially. Wo don't believe that in any water s -heme for the cltjv it is worth while to count on any reduction 6f rates on Insurance. The companies have got us, and the combine is all-powerful. It would not need to yield anything on rates, even were water as plentiful here as in the sea: therefore It won't yield anything, no matter what happens, it is idle to urge arguments on that basis, for they won't "pan out." HI They are having anti-vaccination riots HI In Rio Janeiro. Which proves that the HI people of that city are catching up with HI the times. We had something like that In Utah four years ago or less, and the HI only thing that saved the situation was HH v the Legislature coming to the rescue HH nnd enacting that nobody need concern himself with the lessons of medical Hi science in the way of vaccination unless H he wanted to; that every man could be HJ a meance to hia neighbors in the matter Hl of smallpox, if he chose to be, and that fl the, lessonB of experience and proper precaution should have no place in ' Utah wherever any individual chose to Hfl -9t Uieni at naught. Hio Janeiro was a little late in Its anti-vaccination riots, but doubtless the ouperslltlous Ignorance Igno-rance of the masses did the best it could, in the face of an obdurate law-making body that refused, to listen to It. |
