Show WHY DIG UP OLD CRIME? Apostlo Hcber J. Grant was given space in tho church organ of Friday evening to give forth his wail against the bringing out of old crimes in Utah, and Iho reairftanco to lav and government govern-ment hero when the church leaders were in 'supremo temporal control.- But Apostle Apos-tle Grant must bo very denso in order not to understand the point. Wo will therefore proceed to enlighten him. Tho Dcscrot Evening News, tho church orgnn, is eternally prating about Iho ovils of American alminisiralion in this city. ' It is constantly demanding that tho peoplo shall denounce the American party and terminate its "wicked rulo." 1 liferent ially, this must mean, if it means anything, that conditions would bo improved hero by tho deposition and abolition of tho American party. Iu order to combat this implication and suggestion from the church organ Tho Tribune hus shown, and expects to continue to show, that tho Amorican party administration is infinitely better than any administration ever before given to Salt Lake City. V0 claim this constantly, and wc aro showing it constantly, con-stantly, affirmatively and also negatively. negative-ly. That is, wc show the positive benefits ben-efits conferred upon this city by American Amer-ican party administration, aud wo point to tho evil conditions of tho city under un-der church administration as a warning, warn-ing, and in disproof of tho church organ's or-gan's plea for tho abolition of the American party and the substitution of church rule in place of Amorican rulo. Wo trust that this explanation will bo satisfactory to Apostle Grant, and that il may enlighten his miud whoro it now seems to be wholly in tho dark. When tho American party administration administra-tion is attacked on the basis that much better insults could bo achieved for the city under tho church Jeadors' temporal rule, we proceed to show what that church temporal rulo is, and what it has done for the city, for the peoplo of Utah, and for itself whon it has had tho conlro.l. Tho showing Bccms lo hurt, but it was iuvitodj and thereforo it appears. |
