Show I LISTEN TO HER RAVE. I . ; Notorious Kate Filld, who :s qv.te ! well know ii in Utah, comes otu in Ikt j Washington its fellows: i Never was the condition of Utah Imoie serious t. -an to-day, not onl oe-! oe-! cause pe-pie outside ol tiiat Ki ritory i take Millions s.t tncir W"t-d and he- 111 Ve poIyamy" i.e-'d, hut bed Use lif 11- i tiles v iti. iii ti.e t'-rntory h-ve divided p .li.i. i.liy, instead' f pivs. huiil: an unbroken un-broken iioni to the enemy. Heretofore Hereto-fore ti ete nave b- en two ai t es, Liberals Lib-erals and People's. In the hater a II Mormons ware eel' il d i.y their Church, which claim's s ;preme eontioi over us members, b til tempor-allj tempor-allj and spriuiaby. the .im ot the polygamous hierarchy bein. empire on earth ii" less than on hlgl-. Helplessly in the minority, G-.'iitiies realized the absurdity fighting national issues in a teiritory win re lhe;e w. is no national vote, saw that their only salvation was in union, forgot for-got tii y were Republicans and Democrats, Dem-ocrats, faced the Mormon monster ;.s lo al Americans, and ca.led tfemseh i s Liberals. Hence, when the passage ,f the Edmunda-Tucker bill in LS87 greatly decreased the size of the Moimon majority, ma-jority, the Gent les ot Salt Lake citv scored their first victory in territor al politics. Their union gave them the strength to accomplish it. This reduction re-duction of the enemy's majority was due to the riislrai chiseuient of women, wo-men, who had voted ever since 1S70 Had congress done its w hole duty in 1S87, everybody would have been deprived de-prived of the ballot as we are in tin-Distr tin-Distr ct oi Columbia and the territory would now be controlled by a legislative legisla-tive commission. Thus all tl e troubles ol to-day, and manv more looming up in the early fut ire would have been avoided. Hut congress is not dominated domi-nated by statesmen. Then follows a long t:rade against the Mormons, setting forth that they are a hidebound and a traitorous lot who dare not do anything only as their leaders dictate a rehash and repetition rep-etition in fact of the dime novel soi t of slush that used to take before the Mormons Mor-mons began to be understood by the people of the nation. There is something some-thing new, however, this time in her ravings she calls all those non-Mormons who have affiliated themselves with the national party of their choice here in Utah, "traitors," 'Benedict Arnolds," etc. Of course it is well known here in Utah who and what this Kate Field is. It is disappointment and unsatis lied greed that has upset her. H.e ! came hjre to Utah thinking that bi -cause she was in the form of a woman and could write an article, she would lie pampered and petted and set i high place by the M rtnon people. Whensiiefoundontth.it she eo ! !n have her own way the lilt! up an said: " Well, I shant play any mon, and I'm right mad at you. So there! The Liberals, Mat is the scli -r.o i.-among i.-among them, who were anxious to ;et the ollie als at Washingt n t" l-e'ieve it was necessary to appoint th m lo the fat offices h. re, saw i i h.-r a to 1 they could handle to riidit good adan- tuje. So they sai I to her, "Come hi r , my little ilea ; come away from Uio'm naughty boys and girls, an 1 co ne and play with us." They feted her; the fed her with champagne, nice wok's and other jew-jews, and said she w as "a real nice, sweet, and pretty 1 tt thing, and it was really too ba-i tho: e naughty Mormons didn't treat her better.". bet-ter.". They tol l her not , to cry, l.nt t be right spunky and slap them,.' back. So these gallant boys sent her aAvav ol'i to Washington to write. We wonder how much she charged the per 'tich for the publication of that las', underfill under-fill (?) effusion. The momentum of the car of progress here in Utah, however, is too great just at the present time for any obstacle ob-stacle that Kate Field can put in its way. Katie, dear tirl, "that used to be the caper, but it don't go now." We would advise you, get some other beau. Give up the idea of ever choosing choos-ing from those nice little Liberal boys in Utah, that vou namg. They have grown to be big, awkward fellows now. |
