Show We clip the following from the Tribune, Trib-une, We can say and do so, proudly, that the Mormon people are tolerant and big hearted and Captain Cox but t utters a well known truth when she says they are good christian people: Staff Captain Blanche B. Cox of the Salvation Army has gone over from this city to Denver to meet General Booth, who will arrive in tht city next Saturday. In a two-column interview in-terview in the Denver Republican, Captain Cox has this to eay about the Mormons: "By the way, would you . believe it, the Mormons are among our be6t friends. Out In Salt Lake they tendered me the bit? tabernacle to preach in. And they came to hear me m crowds, and I was never treated more handsomely in my life. I had a pleasai t experience there". At one of - the meetings an old woman aroee, and in a voice trembling with emotion asked to be prayed for. And how we did pray. Some of the most orthodox I. Mormons joined in that prayer, and when we eang a hymn of praise we almost split the big glass and iron roof." We differ broadly from the conclusion conclu-sion that the Utah militia Ehould not be employed to repulse the Southern Ute invasion ot Utah. The settlers m , San Juan county are first of all entitled en-titled to protection. Of course it is the business of the general government to afford them the protection necessary. Failing that, etill they are entitled to protection. The territorial government comes next. They have a right to call upon it where the general government fails. The territorial government has no right to refuse. It must act when bo importuned. The cost of the protection pro-tection is another matter. If the territory ter-ritory expends money in a service belonging be-longing exclusively to th general government, gov-ernment, the general goyernmect must pay. It seemB prosperous when we read that the bank of SaltJ Lake has $1,000,000 to loan on improved real e3tate at 6 and 8 per cent. The loaner is evidently prosperous, but how about the other party ,the fellow who borrows? Ii he prosperous? Better not borrow that or any other amount unless there is a certair. speculation in it which will throw the profits over ten per cent. The Herald mildly dissents from the president's selection of men for the Uintah and Uncompagrhe reservations commission. It wanted General Mc-Clernand. Mc-Clernand. We wanted Utah men, men in sympathy with Utah and Utah interests, in-terests, and we still think that the president has dote us an injustice in this matter. Judge King's charge to the grand jury of Weber on the subject of election elec-tion frauds was a most admirable paper, pa-per, just what was to be expected from the high character of Judge King. He is a staunch democrat but will tolerate no euch tactics from any party, democrat, demo-crat, republican or populist. John Burns has not the least ide of who should be pensioned. If a workman should die in the service of the United States a pension might be considered. If the United States should pension all-the laborers it would have its hands full. Frenstebmakeb got licked. Score one for the Tribune. This thing of slander suits has two sides to it. Because Arthur Brown won, it by no means followB that eyery one of tfce old Trib's enemies can recover. Kolb seems to have the ins on the money bags. If so, he may be able to force a compromise, sooner or later. It is money that makes the mare amble, eyen in Alabama. The Louisiana sugar planters have had very nearly enough of their friends, the sugar trust. We thought they would soon be fixed. Boon get enough of them. |
