Show TIMES W M the people of utah should not bo blind to the fact that a big change is going on in the liberal ranks compared with a year ago we see much more freedom of speech and action among the lords of the gripsack grip sack some have oven ventured so tar as to alep beyond liberal environments and still find it possible to live and eyen enjoy a good deal of mental vitality such an adventurer is our fellow townsman judge A BASEY in yesterdays triune he gave the editor of the chief liberal organ some food for serious reflection if he bo capable of such by a bold ani an i well written letter the tribune not only published it but strange to say refrained from even calling mr a scrub a fit subject for the insane asylum a jack moamoa and other pet names so often employed by the chief organ of reform rs in utah it shall suit our purpose to make but a few extracts from the letter referred to though the whole is wel 1 worthy perusal by all mr says before I 1 moved to utah some three years ago I 1 had read from the tribune and from quotations from the tribune in other papers that gentiles were entirely ostracized ostracised socially Boci ally in business and in all respects this to my wife was a areat objection to bring children and attempt to rear them in such a community that was out off he question leaving my family in kansas I 1 came to I 1 began to investigate I 1 stepped into a lawyers office I 1 found a gentile and a mormon constituted the legal firm I 1 found in other business concerns the same thing I 1 found as a rule that the gentiles same that had been here for thirty years or more hotter off financially etian their mormon neighbors some too that claimed to haye suffered martyrdom bad with all their sufferings at the same time the pleasurable experience of making positive gains to their amount of this worlds goods th bulk of my business bu came from mormon patrons after a residence resi dance of about three mouths I 1 concluded that aonie ono was mistaken I 1 moved my family here 1 have been here three years and as far as all these matters are concerned I 1 am content to remain this is holding the mirror squarely before the organ of falsehood but the tribune still maintains that what it asid was absolutely arne for the gentiles were entirely cd socially and in business and in all respects immediately after this positive asser tation that the gentiles were entirely ostracized ostracised abo editor continues wo do not know watt ho found Provo in wo know in this city from the first it has been impossible for any poor gentile to obtain employment from any mormon it appears the editor is not so positive after all about his former writings being the absolute truth ho feels half inclined to admit it that mr SAXET represented matters t uth fully as be found them in provo and that gentiles were not entirely en ostracized ostracised it is a bard dose indeed for the editor to be thus compelled to accept his own filthy vomit fo r years ho has been maligning fair utah and now respectable men in the territory feel inclined to tell him he has biad Ee regarding garding the manifesto mr remarks now as for the manifesto cun berning polygamy if they had a revelation direct from the almighty I 1 should have been suspicious i think it came in the richt wiy he civilization that bad made its way here was against it the laws of their roain try were against it they were prosecuted convicted abid punished hed altogether it was becoming si great hardship on the people not only the guilty hut the innone i offspring of that relation their at zen chip was threatened what wr alia proper thing to do I 1 think just what they did do and even if it was lur tue purpose that the tribune to hold citizenship and puli ical rights I 1 liaos that to retain my as a citizen under a government like ours I 1 would subordinate everything this is a harder nut still for the Ij iberal organ to crack it says oar ond not olly the manifesto ant the way ars given thinks it ivas exactly the proper way if he ia butted with it bufa still the tribune in fl that the manifesto 13 oot tle genuine thing it is refreshing to eee such liberal and advanced ideas of judge given liberals to read f and to be a harbinger denot days of ring rule r 1 now nearly over THE st louis globe democrat is a rank republican journal but it in auses a little sense occasionally in its editorial columns it says that the appeal made to president for the appointment of a capable degro jurist to a federal judicial position presents a practical and suggestive BUgg estive question where is the capable negro jurist to be found tho four colored men of highest reputation in this country and are not known in the legal profession one of them served for a time as a justice of the peace and that is the extent of their experience in jurisprudence there are negro attorneys in several of the states ant what important cases have they ever conducted it is not customary to see lawyers of that complexion practicing in the supreme court or in any of the subordinate federal tribunals that is the truth negroes are not in it when it comes to education orleans times democrat bays we sea no possible good that can re suit from the indictment of any ono en in carrying out the will of the people As we have already said the best thing that can be done is to let the matter drop as far at least as the parish prison affair is concerned to attempt to do otherwise would cause disturbance tur bance and would of necessity result in failure and make the law an abar city in the present feeling of the people of the state any proceedings against the men engaged in this affair would be futile and ridiculous that is not very good doctrine and after reading it one feels no sur that the best men in the ores cent city led the mob that killed the italian convicts dow in illinois the men who used to be rail are considering the advisability of making a law compelling every citizen in the state to yote at an election and imposing a penalty for unlawfully remaining away from the polls on election day this seems a little radical but it is founded on good sense all the same voting is a duty as well as a privilege and being a du tymen ought to be compelled to perform it remaining away from the polls is a dangerous experiment and gives the lawless elements of society a chance to gain control of the government JERRY kansas says that with the alliance it w not a question whether a man goes home drank or not but whether he has a home
