Show DISTRICT COURT. The governor seeks protection froja Tbe Sentinel's criticism by hiding behind the gimlet curls of that cranky old maid, The Tribune, and says he appointed Milford for his southern reservation court because Judge Jadd and others wanted him to do so. It is yet to be learned that that gentleman gen-tleman approached the throne of his exc-llency for such a purpose. The gentleman he names is in line with the general demand for relief from present oppressions. Among the demands are: District courts to be held in each county seat for the respective counties. Abdication by the czar of Utah. Statehood or home rule. What about this excursion business, anyway, governor? Why not also assume as-sume tbe dignities generally recognized as belonging to grand and trial jurors? You might as well dip into the treasury, too, and give a few of your pets that 50.000 dollars to take in Chicago. Come to think about it get a few of those vetoes together and hand them down to The Tribnno copy cutter. That paper could easily satisfy its conscience they are the speeches made against home rule before the congressional committee com-mittee or used by John Henry Smith to defeat the measure. The governor is well aw.tre that in his cirk-iiil capacity he is disliked by this neoDle. The harshness with which he has drawn upon the reins was in most instances uncalled for, and with-out.txcuee. with-out.txcuee. Clustered about him is a email army of ever hungry sharks. Attached At-tached to his watch chain hangs The Tribune and he has no medicinal use for The Standard or Enquirer. He- foams when he read the press of Utah which hold up the record he is making. Even though congress has given into the keeping of the govenor omnipotent power, the necessity for its existence is rapidly diminishing. As the people become reconciled to the new order of things, cheerfully complying with lawful law-ful requirements, the executive should i ather decrease than increase the pressure pres-sure of bis personal and political Qatred for the unhappy element he wouid crush with hid hoel. So long as this exotic blooms to lay the lash on lagislature and courts, just so long will the people more firmly cement in the general defense. Even the good deeds he may have nnwittingly committed will be lost to the children growing up in their geaoral detestation of his name. Go where he will, for his reign cannot last forever.his record will follow will be present. None of this element he has drawn to himself, and spoils constitute the magnet, mag-net, can put forward one lucid, ctear, honest argument in opposition to statehood. state-hood. Not one. Speak up. governor, why should the young men and women now growing up be visited with the deeds of their parents? True the pioneers of Utah were Iatgler from the overcrowded states of Earope. ye the governor admits the oncoming generation are the physical and mental equals of those in the other states and territories. That being true, they are the equals of the rising generations gener-ations of Europe, and the world. |
