Show When an amateur sportsman shoots the editor of the Provo Dispatch for a turkey, he will be in the Borne predicament predica-ment as the northern soldier who in Alabama for the first time saw and shot a buzzard. We present the above verbatim et literatim paragraph from our great leading metropolitan paper in Utah, the Salt Lake Tribune, We direct at ten tion to the profound depths of it3 learning, to the delicacy of the thought, to the elegance of the diction, to the massive conclusion reached. It don't take a great deal of that kind of writing writ-ing to bring both fame and fortune to a paper. How proud we can be of the leading paper," and hew ardently we hope it may teat Arthur Brown 1 All the grace, wit, learning and ability on the editorial page is completely swallowed swal-lowed up and overshadowed by this excellence from the local page. If tbe Enquirer will take some of the .News' lesson to itself the amount of journalistic scurrility in Utah will be - considerably lessened at once and a yast Improvement will be the result Tbe News has a large number of unruly un-ruly chicks to keep in order, and all of its motherly energies are taxed to the utmost to accomplish the task. If ehe will put on her spectacles and take a cowhide and eo about among the boys for a few days she will be letter able i to give an opinion as to the value of that weapon as a corrector of bad manners. man-ners. It Btrikes us that our neighbor, who came here impecunious, over twenty years since, and holda its own beautifully, ha3 a good deal to say on this subject, of its superiors. The dirty blackguard of the Enquirer says the personal attacks on him In The Dispatch must cease. They will cease as soon as his attacks on us cease. Not one attack has ever been made In these columns except upoD provocation. pro-vocation. Eut we eav to ' James Clove" that these attacks will continue just so long as he attacks us that long and no longer. This will not be news to him because -he has known it all the time. He lies when he says we came here impecunious. Let hita try his redress in the courts and we will justify in every case. He can have any sort of redress he wishes. The Utah - commission will have finished the count by Saturday, and then, and then only will it be known which party ha3 the majority in the constitutional convention. In the interest in-terest of the taxpayers of Utah we sincerely trust there will be a democratic demo-cratic majority, however small it may be.

The coward wh'i slanders other people peo-ple and blubberingly retires behind petticoats to escape the consequences of bis acts, is unworthy of consideration. considera-tion. He has earned the contempt of all decent men. We want immigrants in Utah. All honest men will be welcomed and the more money they have to invest in the development of the new state, the better for nil concerned will it be. If the reople of Utah will wait until the republican party does justice to silver, they will be considerably older than Methusaleh when they pass in their checks. |
