Show One great necessity exists in Utah at this moment and that is the opening open-ing of. the Uintah Indian reservation to white settlement. Mr. Rawlins cannot can-not dow serve Utah better than by urging urg-ing this matter with all of his power. That accomplished and we would have many thoasonds of excellent people added to our population during the coming Eummer. It is a prize worth straggling for and we trust our clearheaded clear-headed delegate in congress is fully apprised of its importance to Utah. Silvkb restored and Utah would soon become the richest state in the union, but whether that is done or not her gold deposits will place her in the lead within ten years, anyhow. Why don't the times produce the statesman bo sadly needed at this junctuie? Here is a land filled to over-flowing with the elements of wealth, latent wealth on every hand, and yet it has been trembling tremb-ling cn the verge of panic for two year". Why is it? Simply because the man so sadly needed has not been forthcoming. Utah has no interest which stands before free coinage today. to-day. Her every influence should be exerted, in seaeon and out, for the restoration res-toration of silver. Some attentive friend sends us a copy f that splendid Boston publication called Our Dumb Animals. Doubtless while our dumb animals are entitled to a great deal of our attention, yet we have plenty of men able to tell you in plain strong English that they are starving, who we think, should take precedence in our sympathies of the .speechless sufferers. Give us more money, remonetize silver and we'll take care of the dumb. We should say that the Tribune is trying to ape the New York Sun in the way it deale with men dead or alive What is sauce for old D-ana in New York might not prove so' wholesome for Goodwin in Utah. Geography does cut a considerale figure in cases of this kind. The entire west stn Is waiting for the firBt appearance of Gov, Waite's personal organ which is to be called the Daily Populist. It it reflects in any way .that extraordinary governor it will prove to be an interesting document, docu-ment, to be eure. Tiie cash balance is getting low and Mr. Carliele is in a peck of trouble. It now seems that a great bond iBsue is in inevitable. More's the pity. It is a noticeable fact that the advertising adver-tising in the Salt Lake paperB has fallen off very vastly since the holidays. The after-holiday numbness is gradually grad-ually giving way, and business is picking pick-ing up rapidly. The dreadful waste of gray matter now going on in Salt Lake is appalling to behold. |
