Show THE COMING ISSUE THE annexed special dispatch from washington was published in the chicago tribune under date of july 81 deal for statehood has not yet been consummated but there are republican senators who seem bound to help it but ut the other day in the committee on territories stewart and carey joined the democratic members in agreeing to report favorably an enabling act for the mormon territory so that it will go before the senate with a majority majority report stewarts Ste position is plain p ain he wants utah admitted as a state so that the talk of dismembering dismember ing the pocket borough of nevada and joining it to adjoining states will cease senator careys carels action however seems to call for explanation some weeks ago when the democratic house under a suspension of the rules passed enabling acts for Arizona and new mexico a chorus went up from the members who cried out utah utah they wanted to let in the polygamous territory too but speaker crisp would not give them a chance and refused to recognize any member to make the motion and sus suspend end the rules so that an knablin enabling act for atah utah would be passed it bouls would be queer if a republican senate should have less regard for public decency than a democratic house P it is copied by the tribune of this city with comments containing a characteristic fling at senator carey and the opinion that all the other senators of the surrounding states favor the statehood movement however it does not accuse them of f ca a full understanding with the mormon church as it does that gentleman but it manifests a gloomy and sorrowful conviction that its efforts to prevent liberty for utah will be abortive it says saye we refer to the matter that the liberals may inay understand that with the election of mr cleveland statehood will be given to utah within a year or certainly before the elee election zion in the fall of 1894 it ft is quite possible it will be the same with the reelection election re of mr harrison because it takes a strong man as aa president to refuse on a local question the endorsement of 0 f his bis party senators in all the adjacent states 11 this being the case why should not the decent men among the liberals fall in with the march ot or events catch the spirit of the times got get out of their old and useless rut and take part in the work that will soon be upon the people of this territory the liberal organ says saya further we are firmly convinced that the republican pub licau senators in all the rounding surrounding cui Pur states to utah have an understanding which means statehood lor for utah in the near future if that is the case what is the use of fighting the movement and keeping up a struggle over dead issues the nals miserable erable nonsense which the tribune editor poured out before the committee at minneapolis and which 0 W powers and his hia crowd repeated at chicago hi cago is 18 behind the times it did verv ier well for tribune purposes a few years ago but it to is too stupid anti and stale for the present anti Mor mormon mons yarns are obsolete bugaboos Buga boos about mormon domination of the future state are understood to be stuffed dummies liberal Liber alPI scar rows crows that only excite ridicule or disgust what is the use of playing with them any longer nobody who has sense andl and information inform tion believes that there will beany other dangers la in utah than those which the respective national bartlew parti always picture as the consequence of the triumph of the opposition it is of no use to lie about the mor monell mona any longer it is to keep up the false alarm about church rules rule any more why not stop this foolery and make a genuine and sincere eff rt to secure the coming state to that political aty which each citizen believes to be the best the old issues are gone the old strife should cease let us have republican principles and democratic doctrines in dispute instead of religious lous beliefs against irreligious onslaughts onslaught it and sharp retaliation against malicious misrepresentations and ribald insinuations each party thinks its own success essential to the welfare of the community let each seek in six an honest way to gain control of the coming state those who linger and try to keep up the old conflict will find themselves vw left behind and counted as back number 4 A now new epoch is approaching tor for utah leaving the things that are behind let us press onward on ward to those that are beforehand before and help to mould them for the best interests of the coming commonwealth k |
