We have contemplated this change for some time ami we think it will be more satisfactory to our friends after they become adjusted to the chauge. Printers, like other mortals, are not always on time and a little delay on Saturday, has upon occasion, delayed the delivery of The Bee until Monday. The SoutheruJUtah Censor, published Thc Richfield, in opposition to John Thereof" Meteer and in defense of polygamy, in a late number, takes up a subject that it is apt to be excommunicated for handling without consulting the proper authorities. It says : In the Utah of up to twenty years ago, the emigrant expected to become comparatively wealthy if he was frugal and industrious. The rich men of those days were not men of many thousands. But of late home capital has been increasing to quite an extent, aud, of course, it is growiug more aud more into the hands of a few. So is formed a rich class. But there is another class, who were poor, are poor and seemingly expect to always be poor. Thus in modern Utah the modern custom of the rich becoming more wealthy and the poor going permanently into poverty is all too much on the growth of the new States good. What right has the Censor to question the wealth concentrated in the hands of President George Q. Cannon, who is either president, director or sole owner of half the schemes operating among the Mormon people? Or that he stands at the head of a gigantic electric combination of all the electric concerns in or near Salt Lake City, which the News, published by George Q. Cannon and With the church Sons, says isnt a trust. organ leased by himself and run by his relatives, Mr. Cannon has not lost any money here lately or cornered any of lifes blessings that the News hasnt been. ready to defend, even at the expense of the other authorities of the church . And while men of the class referred to by the Censor are getting richer, the poor are intentionally kept poor and made poorer by exacting donations and contributions from the ones who stay at home, and sending every man with a few hundred dollars saved up out to preach the gospel, and incidentally to spend the money elsewhere, which should be spent here ar home, making the people more prosperous and improving the State. The reason it is desirable to keep the people poor is that poor people can be handled more easily and dependent men follow their file leaders where a man in independent circumstances might undertake to do a little thinking and acting for himself. vice-presiden- money-makin- g t, bail something e There are some newspapers that can not be fair under any circumstances. or tircat Paper. The ga jjajj0 Tribune is sympathetic to a fault, but an extremist. It is either gushing over some sentimental idea or blackguarding a contemporary. It is all love and tears, or all hate and abuse. The Herald is weak, but more often just. Its treatment of Editor Glasmann of the Ogden Standard Sunday morning, however, Mr. Glasmann was neither fair nor respectable. took occasion to say farewell to Mr. Bryan after the latters Nebraska day oration. He had a right to quit Bryan whenever he pleased ,to do so, just as he quit Senator Cannon when that gentleman reiterated his wish for the repeal of the Dingley bill. The Herald, being hostile to Mr. Cannon, was probably glad for the Standard to go back on him ; but being friendly to Mr. Bryan, it does not want the Standard to turn against him. The Herald published a long article on the opposition of the Standard to colonization and territorial extension, which we do not remember to have seen in the Ogden paper this year. The Herald has no right to go back two years or more to find an editorial in the Standard and make that paper abide by it as its policy, but if the Standard had given expression to those opinions since the beginning of the war it would be quite another matter. The News is seldom fair in politics, and never in religious matters. It objects to anyone besides the Tribune offering criticism to the church that is behind it. May be the reason wras given last week in Tiie Bee. If George Q. Cannon, who is the head of the company which publishes the Deseret News, is also a stockholder in the Tribune, it is not thought likely that the News will try to cripple the Tribune. The Cannons are about to turn the evening paper back on the church anyway, it is reported. Fd justifies The e evean( Plain-Deale- r is reason- - ably well posted, although in some . things it gives more credit than is due. It quotes from an authorized missionary who holds to the well established rule of that the end justifies the means, borrowed from the Jesuits of the last century. In an editorial on Mormon teachings the r The Means. Mor-monis- m Plain-Deale- says : The Mormons are reported to be increasing in numbers very rapidly. Agents of the church are making converts in all parts of the county. There is probably no religious organization which is proselyting with such zeal. All this seems to indicate that MormonUm has not Mtu its Ix-days, as was supposed when polygamy received a crushlugblow through public sentiment crys tulied iu eu forced law. But, it might Im asked, if polygamy is uo longer a living feature of the Mormon church, what barm, if any, i there iu ht its prosperity? There would lie no harm if polygamy were the only evil of Mormonisiii, but the Mormon church is the cmlnxliment of au evil from which the nation has more to fear than it bad to fear from jwlygamy the doctrine that the end justifies the means so far as the welfare of thechurch is concerned. There is more to fear from this evil than there was in fear from jiolygamy, lie-caus- e polygamy was repulsive to modern instincts and there was even a strung opposition to it within the Mormon church. In a recent address delivered in Cleveland, a grandson of Brigham Young stated that Mormon ambition seeks only its own ends, casting aside all other considerations aud defying human judgment by its assertion that it has the authority of God for what it does. An organization which defies human judgment, aud which stops at nothiug to increase its temporal power, is a danger to the nation, and the greater its power the more there is to fear from it. The Funniest Thine: Of All. Of all the funny things that have ? so far developed in the political pot pie, is the spectale of Joe Lipmann running Frank Cannons campaign in this county ! You see, Frank is supposed to be making this campaign solely for the purpose of vindicating the free silver cause and not in any way for his own advantage. He seems to forget that the Democratic party is the party of free silver from the start. He forgets that after he had bolted his own party in 181)6 he was one of the renegade Kepublicaus, who occupied an honored seat oil the speakers stand at the Democratic convention, and that he worked and voted for William J. Bryan and the Democratic ticket in the last campaigu. He forgets that if that party and that ticket and that platform were good enough for him in 1896, the same party, ticket and platform should be good enough for him in 1898, or any other old time. But here comes the Joe Lipmann, and tells us that it is not enough for Frank Cannon to vindicate the cause, but, forsooth, the cause must vindicate Frank by him to the senate It may not occur to Joe or Frank that there are a whole lot of Democrats tn Utah, who did not have to bolt their party platform or ticket in order to vindicate the free silver cause, who are in every way eligible to draw the salary of Senator, and who are not going outside their own party for any favors from the people of Utah. But it is a fact, just the same.

The indignant, lightning change husband says: Now the flaxen haired individual who wrote that degrading article merely to hurt me in the eyes of the public will be run down like a wolf and made to repent. And I swear before Heaven that should he be found out he will be severely dealt with. That foolish, kittenish individual is entirely beneath my notice and to say anything bad about him is uttery impossible. Let him repeat all the mean and false lies about me that he likes. soft-hearte- d |
