Show The Manti Messenger is the most impartial cuss we ever heaid of. It started in a few weeks since to give every paper in the territory a good notice no-tice and announced its purpose beforehand. before-hand. It got round to The Dispatch last week, ana the result is astonishing. astonish-ing. We never before had an idea that anything good could be said of The Dispatch. Proud, do you ask? We should say so, as a boy with his first pair of pants with a pistol pocket in 'em. When we get round to the Messenger Mes-senger we shall return the compliment in kind, and go a toss beyond him, or demolish a trace. Ex President Harbison could be seduced from the seclusion of private life if a unanimous and undisputed nomination were tendered by the national na-tional republican convention. The seduction will not occur. Ben's tempters tempt-ers have been routed, aed Reciprocity Bill has the field with Tom Reed, the Czar, a close second. Is it possible that this great nation is reduced to a choice of one of this trio for president? We'll never 'believe IttiU'we eee it. " " Would anyone ever have believed it? It ia now announced that good old Frances Willard, the great W. C. T. U. woman is to lead a rich but unfortunate Englishman to the altar. This is th" first time it haa ever dawned upon us that Miss Willard ever had anything in her heart but Jeeus. How our idols do topplf, to be sure. An Engliehman and rich. Who is safe now? In dishing out the honors of the late fight between the Herald and The Dispatch, Dis-patch, the Standard awards the palm of victory and correct position pittilessly to the former. That is all right Bill Glasmann without the ''el-' because it is your intereet to help the uaper which is within eaBy reach of the Tribune. Such is the nature of the ardent harmony har-mony between these two republican papers. The canaigre root organs of Salt Lake are jumping upon poor Gillllan, the preacher who had the nerve to swear out a warrant for another preacher who had committed a crime, while they are busy apologizing for and explaining the fall of poor, poor, dear Doctor Mabry. Here's nerve for you. The Price Advocate is very nearly all home print, but the home advertisements adver-tisements do not stack up as they should. The paper should have fourteen four-teen columns of good live ads at a fair price and paid for in solid cash, double standard cash. Indeed it ia a good weekly. The latent poetry in the New Star was not euspected. Ab soon as the inspiration in-spiration came along it began to bubble. bub-ble. This is springtime and the New Star's thoughts lightly turn to love, illicit love. Really it is too bad. The Utonian wants to know whj sponges will not grow in Salt Lake. Don't know, save that the imported article ar-ticle crowds 'em all out, and leaves no room for the home grown article. "Let us bore deeper and get both gas and oil," Bays a Colorado paper. The boring already is about all a patient world can stand. Don't go any deeper for heaven's dear sake. The Pyramid and the Manti Sentinel are having a tilt over the reported swallowing of a fly. The man is dead, and so it is one on the fly we suppose, but why quarrel over i? The Manti Sentinel says times are improving in Sanpete. That's the sort of news we want to hear now. |
