Show JOOUND IN DEATH. The newspapers and political allies of Sraootism havo considerately fixed the dato for the funeral of Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho; and, not to be outdone in gonorosity, tho Senator has announced an-nounced tho day when Apostlo Smoot will quit this Senatorial life. So far honors aro very unoasy. Tho Mormon church may got Dubois next winter and thump tho clods down on his political coffin with a dull, sickening thud but Dubois will not stay dead politically until ho is dead altogether. On tho other hand, the great general senti-mont senti-mont of this country, which Frod T. Dubois of Idaho voices in tho Senate, may get Smoot nndv embalm him politically po-litically before next Christmas day and he will stay embalmed, so far as National affairs aro concerned, for the rest of liia natural life, and thou some. The ago of chivalry is supposed to have past; but wo cannot count it all lo have vanished so long as a man like Dubois can choorfully and charitably tell tho Mormon church, through tho medium of its own organ, that it will not bo long without n Senator, because although Smoot will bo dismissed bo-fore bo-fore tho Christmas holidaj's his place can bo filled by tho action of the Utah legislative assembly immediately after the now year shall open! |
