Show That cheeky young gentleman known as John M. Zane is in trouble with the supreme court. It seems; that in his conduct of the Sanpete cases before Judge Bartch recently, Mr. Zane upon the question of the ultimate settlement of the cases before the supreme court, used language highly unbecoming a lawyer and derogatory to the character of the court. So on Saturday when , Mr. Zane attempted to addresB the court, JudgeMerrit promptly ordered him to sit down, and utterly refused to hear him. Perhaps this rather fresh Barigof the law will learn that politeness polite-ness pays, even in politics. The re proof was enough to squelch any one less cheeky, but not so Zane. He immediately fired in a protest in writing, writ-ing, which the court received. Whoever Who-ever is finally seated in the convention, yet John M. Zane will not soon forget Judge Merritt. A very able English paper, the Statist, is of the opinion that gold will eoon go to a premium in this country, I and that will be equivalent to estab-! I liehing the silver basis. After the treachery with which European powers have treated the United states, we do not care particularly if this event comes to pass. As the demonetization of silver threw all the advantage to the rich, so the demonetization of gold would throw the advantage back to the poor, there would bo a sort of poetic justice in the thing which would strongly commend it to the country just now. The thing would completely restore silver and every silver mine in the Ro3ky Mountains would be at work in ten days. Can any one fail to comprehend what a mighty change this would project? The people of Utah are crowding to the front with great force. The won-def won-def ul progress now being made by her schools of all grades gives promise ot rapid and substantial improyement. The establishment of literary clubs and the attention paid to sound literature, art and music, is rapidly having its effect in the increased grace and culture cul-ture of the peoptei It will not be Jong until Utah will lead the entire west in the literary standards she is dow setting set-ting up. What do our women want with equal or more equal rights? Several of them, dozens and scores indeed, are the wives of lords, counts, princes, etc., and one even is the wife of tke French premier. They are going into foreign politics extensively and they might afford af-ford to let domestic politics alone and still not feel lonesome or slighted. The Tribune will encounter difficulty diffi-culty when it seeks to throw blame on the supreme court in the Zane matter. The court only vindicated its own honor and sat down heavily upon a fledgling lawyer .who had carried his political methods into court. Well done for Judge Merritt. The republican papers have difficulty diffi-culty in steering Hon. Frank Cannon through the shoals and pitfalls of politics. poli-tics. If they could induce him to forego the pleasures of talking and writing letters they would have a far less difficult dif-ficult task before them. John M. Zane under the recent-terrific rebuke of the supreme court does not make a good picture. What he might be able to do in this way under favorable circumstances we can only conjecture. The BiftiDg of evidence likely to be made by the supreme court renders Commissioner Tatlock quite nervous; bo much so that he is not to be found about his usual haunts. The death of Mrs. Augusta Tabor removes from the public gaze the' victim vic-tim of one of the most monstrous domestic do-mestic infidelities of the nineteenth century. In a few days more, if appearances can be relied upon, Mexico and Guatemala Guate-mala will be at it. There is blood on the moon, it seems. Diaz's ultimatum will be published tomorrow. It will be looked for with much interest, especially on this side of the ocean. From a thorn to the dungeon is the record made by the unfortunate queen of Hawaii recently. Poor woman 1 |
