Show collapsed the broj project for tho the annexation of utah to nevada wo we strongly ru suspect has fallen through even if it ever had bad any real vitality the resolutions praying 9 congress to attach this territory to that state al though hough they passed one branch of the legislature seemingly beamingly with a whirl were defeated in tho the other house the scheme we regarded r MI q decidedly visionary from tho the start out hero in utah it was esteemed a huge joke and in the event of its consummation would aTi evidently dently have placed tho the Ne nevadans Nev adans in the awkward predicament of the chap who drew the in the lot lottery tozy the majority report of the committee which reported adversely to the resolutions took tho the same mo view of the matter and when the legislature came to figure a little they discovered that in politics as in mathematics four is greater than two and that a population of ij eighty gbur thousand would bo be very apt to outvote thirty thousand thereupon one practical genius who had succeeded in solving this thi somewhat intricate mathematical problem proposed to amend the title of tho the resolution BO be that it should read A resolution to annex the state of nevada to lo the territory of utah but as we have said the whole bottom fell out of the scheme by tle the rejection of tho the resolutions je ye solutions and we pre gumo congress will hardly move in the matter seeing that barkis is not willing milling we think that the legislature of nevada in its final action did a very wise thing 0 in consigning the whole subject to the tomb of the it is very doubtful if any good to anybody could have resulted from it if it had proved successful that the union like cc many another hasty bwy match would have proved distasteful to all concerned is very evident the people of utah would have been partially saddled with a very considerable debt heretofore ii by nevada besides being compelled to defray the major part of the expenses of a not very inexpensive state government their only relief from the latter would have been in the fact that they would have outvoted thir their neighbors hold held a majority in the legislature 1 and apportioned porRo ned and collected taxes pretty much to suit themselves in this event nevada would have been in rather a bad fix and would have hardly relished the amusement of riding its elephant but above and beyond this there would have hava been no homogeneity between tho the two clas classes sas of tho the population laying aside tho the fact that nevada is is almost exclusively a mining country while utah in mainly an agricultural community ty the class antagonism would have absolutely prevented any hope for harmony their religions ai ons habits of thought education notions daily dail y life governments everything are diametrically opposed tho the nevadans Nev adans have hav ar and d cherish a republican republic CA n form of government utah and her people have ind cling to a theocracy in nevida nevada the voice of the tho people is beard in utah it has nothing to do mth governmental or other affairs fl airs in the former farmei the people instruct their leaders in the latter the leaders in and nd counsel tho he people neither party would have been willing to give up to the other and there could havo have been baen no compromise tom promise no halfway half way ground where they could meet and agree zile the days have either passed or have not yet come when the lion and lamb can lie down peacefully together numbers if It have haag anything to do with it it 1 is not difficult to ascertain which would have been the lion and which the lamb if uncle sam is is not noi able to cope with mormonism ism we strongly suspect that nevada is not quite able to ulm take the task on her own shoulders it Is very tery true truc ih that at david slew Golit tb but then he had bad a sling YC we are very vary jauch much afraid that nevada any
