Show It is really amusi ug to note the bitterness bit-terness of the Email fiy republican papers pa-pers gathered tinder the heading 4Var- ian gives aid and couifort to the democrats." dem-ocrats." They may hate the Tribune bitterly, but they all follow it loyally. It is good to see the s. f. nervous at times. It is wholesome and no good interest will be injuied. The great liberal organ, after fighting for twenty-five twenty-five years to bold the Mormons in check, now backs out of the fight and joins them in aline of policy which more than doubles their voting strength. This is an exhibition of magnanimity which is rare these latter days, and but for the fear that the whole thing is a bars sell out, it would ring through tbee mountains as a trumpet blast announcing the speedy approach of the miJ nium. Anything so grandly unselfish unsel-fish J8 this is, was never before seen in An" loan politics, we are 6ure. In this Bhu'iiti the poor democrats must watch ar jn ay that they are not dropped out ai iher. Tir .p- "ard ;is at loggerheads with the V. - on the eubject of female BUfTi . J l e Standard is in favor, so U tU Eu.'jui- er. The trouble comes in . - . on whether "the suffrage phvnk be submitted sub-mitted eepiratHy or go into the body of the constitutioD. The Enquirer would take it all down at one gulp, while the Standard would take that part of the dose alone. The Standard has the best of the argument, in our judgment. We can eay to both that in any shape it is just a lit tle too much and results in a majority which may become be-come very troublesome, if not dangerous, danger-ous, in the near future. It would be indiscreet to the last degree to adopt a policy which may, or rather, which will irritate profoundly at once, or before be-fore the people have had time to shake themselves into the new situation. We are not surprised to hear, as we do, that the negro emigrants, from tne southern states to Mexico are having a hard time of it. Mexico is not lit for the southern negres. The fact is there is no better land on earth for anybody, but especially the n?gros, than is to be I found in the seuth. A colored man who could tafce tea or fifteen thousand dollars to Mexico could do well, but no better than he can do in any eoutb-I eoutb-I ern state. If they do not like to stay where they are, let them come west. Mexico will not please them in any seuse. Lord, how some of the republican organs fight Crane's gubernatorial aspirations. as-pirations. The great big fear has taken hold of 'em that Crane has al ready stocked tne caras ana wnen u is hand is dealt out to him finally it will be foui,d invincible so far as the nomination nomi-nation is concerned. We hear from this point, that some part of the consideration con-sideration 13 woman's suffrage. If so, doesn't that climb all round the dear old Tribune in a dreary and unhandy shape? For deep politics these republican repub-lican schemers in Utah beat the very devil and all. It doesn't really seem right for the Salt Lake Herald to be writing in the way that the Tribune is voting on woman's suffrage. FiDd out which way the Tribune is voting and write just as far away from that as it is possible pos-sible to do, and you'll be near about at the right notch. We feel sure that there is some malign influence at work with the Herald or it could not have gotten eo far off the track of true democracy, as it has done on this woman's wo-man's sufirage policy. Odii Thurman is making a good fight against bountv, but they seem to have the cards etacked against him. Sam went down into the ruck with 'em on suffrage and now he can have nothing from them but contempt and j ontumely. A great, clean and consistent con-sistent record as against the vagaries of republicanism in all of its parts would be a good thing for the future aspirant to have. Well, we have bounty and practical practi-cal prohibition already, and thiB, with woman's suffrage, will surely put ua in the .an of western progress, '() Kansas can tell us about the sort of progress these things have brought to her. Mrs. Lease is the one solemn instance of progress they can point to as an evidence. That sly oid coon, Cass Hite, has struck it rich over at Coon's or Hark-er's Hark-er's Gulch. There are thousands upon thousands of old prospectors in Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Montona who wi 1 rejoice exceedingly. Just now gold is being discovered all over this western country. If only one half of the discoveries "pan out" we will soon have gold to sell. The Argus of last Saturday was very pronounced and out-spoken on the sub-jcet sub-jcet of female suffrage, and against the proposition. Varian and Goodwin will not fall on each other's ne?ka until after the next territorial republican convention adjourns. |
