Show A PROMISING OUTLOOK tim THE portland oregonians oregonian ote Ore gonian goman is pleased to indulge in the following com ment the situation and the prospects here willist whilst affairs in utah legally and abd politically can hardly be much worse than they are it is gratifying to know that apart from the troubles which attach to the remaining twin relic reir the outlook for the territory is ag a promising as could be desired laige large amounts of capital are said to bo be seeking g investment in nii nil mining ning enterprises there the statistics of the past year showing this property to bo be among the best of HS 10 class in the country the sooner the barbarous blot which defaces that thab territory is is wiped out 0 of f existence the better alike for its prosperity and for the good name of the republic most of that is very good and cheering and hero follows something about as sanguine from the st louis railroad register at no time has mining attracted so much general attention throughout the country and in europe as at the present and in no part of tho tha united states perhaps has mining been more nacre extensively and successfully carried on thin in utah which until within the past esix six or seven years was unknown wn to the world as a mining country capital from many of the principal money mondy centres bentres ot of europe and our own country has already been largely invested and continues to seek investment in these mines silver mining has become one of the most prominent industries of this country that it can be ba made profitable and that it warrants the outlay of large amounts of capital the successes that have been attained in nevada colorado and utah substantially prove already a large amount of st louis capital has been invested in mining in utah and so far as we are able to learn with satisfactory and antl profitable ab le results then comes along a western exchange and says there aro arc over mines mine sand and prospects within a circuit of miles of salt lake the tho most of these will be actively worked this s sason season ason and millions of dollars will be added to the wealth of tile tiie territory this thi is very gratify ing to hear betokening a prevalent impression that good times financially aro are lm ira mediately before our citizens and those ot of other portions of the union niThe i the cincinnati enquin enquirer catches hold of this encouraging aidea in a less specific suii shii shape pe and without any special reference n c c to utah or to minin gand says we want more money monea wo we need more moro money and by way of prophecy wu wi venture to say that we are presently going to havo have more money our cincinnati contemporary would hardly double sense tantalize his readers by indulging in such a prophecy in reference merely to the editorial odit p onnal orial we so we take the liberty to understand him as talking of the whole country or at least of the great west of which utah constitutes a humble but wo we are frequently told a very important part our citizens then may hold up their heads now spring is id hero and look forward expect expectantly a antly for these good times which the several witnesses we have assure us are coming agalli soon but let iet us pay a little further attention to some of the statements of our oregon neighbor he says affairs in utah legally and politically could hardly be much worse than they are perhaps not the political side of tile the situation need cause no anxiety to any but the politicians themselves who tilano thank Heave nare in in a very small minority minor in utah this territory and the country at large have proved that they can prosper not by the aid but in spite spile of the politicians legal matters certainly ought to be in good condition and ought to rest upon a sound basis if they do not in utah it is not the t he fault of ef the people of the terri tory I 1 nor of their representatives representative I 1 but of certain of the federal officers several of the federal judges we have had have bave not been willin willing to adminis ad ter such laws as hay have 0 existed ex finding all manner of frivolous technical excuses for neglecting their duty the local 14 legislature set itself to remedy defects complained of in the laws but the governor vern or had bad the veto disease chronically and so seriously though he had bad no constitutional or legal right to it that it was wag found to be a work of great difficulty and in some important instances a work of impossibility to secure his signature to needed needed bills then again congress made the times of holding sessions of territorial legislatures biennial to 60 that tile tho local legislature can do bothin nothing more for two ye years irs ins unless specially lly liy authorized to do so by congress the responsibility sibl lity therefore of any 3 tory condition of legal matters in this territory rests with vi th the governor and the judiciary not with the legislature nor the people the twin relic I 1 is sa a relic of justice and generosity and therefore need be the cause of no trouble to anybody why should the family affairs of one man be the cause of trouble to another mail man why should they be the cause of trouble to the politicians the newspapers federal officials congress or the th country preposterous idea that the twin relic is the necessary causo cause of bf troubles in which the public has any special interest what is it to a federal judge to congress or to the country whether a utah farmer or mechanic or merchant isa is a bachelor or a benedict a single man a married man a much married man or a widower a father of forty or chIl chii childless childley dle die s the facts 1 in I the case concern him and his 1118 but not the public to the extent of its making a grievous trouble of them if a governor orn ora or a judge or a marshal or any other federal official desired a woman to make a wife of he could probably find one in utah and if not here the tho multitudes of the fair daughters of massachusetts would stand with open 0 P en arms and all engaging charms ready to embrace the all ali absorbs absorbing ur west so that no matrimonially inclined representative of the federal government in III UL utah nh need go long disconsolate in that regard the twin relic cannot operate hardly against him or serio ferlo seriously tish abridge his hia conjugal opportunities n I 1 tie til then tilen why hy should lie he be so foolish as to make a trouble of it but some people will make
