Show WHAT'S COMING? ' The resignation of Mr. Dickson and his j assistant, Mr. Varian, has given rise to ; some hope, some disappointment, and much conjecture. Thoss who have been j violating the Edmunds law have had ; hope renewed within their hearts on ac- i count of the resignation of Mr. Dickson and his assistant, while those who have seen a determined and successful enforcement en-forcement of the Edmunds law for the past year are disappointed on account of the resignation of Mr. Dickson, fearing lest so competent a man may not succeed suc-ceed him. This fear arises from the fact that all Mr. Dickson's predecesors were far his inferior for one reason or another, ; and that his successors may also be his j inferiors. To say that no one could fill Mr. Dickson's place so well as he has would be extreme folly, but will it be so well filled, is the question. He enforced the law rigidly and honestly ; but he did far more. He showed that the law could le enforced, en-forced, and he lias created a standard of excellence for the District Attorneyship that public sentiment will not allow to be lowered. The next District Attorney for Utah will be more closely watched by the nation than ever one was before. From this alone the public here who are interested inter-ested in the enforcement of the Edmunds law and the accomplishment of the object for which it was enacted, take hope. It is certain that Mr. Cleveland fully appreciates appre-ciates the difficulty in the way of an enforcement en-forcement of the laws in Utah, and that with such an appreciation he will give to Utah a District Attorney fully equal to the task to be performed. Things have reached that stage in Utah when there should be a final settlement of this ever-disturbing question of the enforcement en-forcement of the laws and the suppression of polygamy. It should be remembered by all that in the settlement of this Utah problem it will necessarily take a very considerable time no matter by what particular method the final settlement may be reached. That such a settlement as is desired by the Government can lie had is certain, but in its accomplishment there must be no hesitation, no haste, but the steady and constant vindication of the laws. It is the steady, never ceasing enforcement of any and all laws that begets respect for the laws. The spasmodic efforts heretofore hereto-fore made to enforce the laws have been detrimental to the laws and to the material mate-rial welfare of the Territory. Spasmodic ellorts should be a thing of the past, while the continual enforcement of the law against all violatiors should be the Iolicy of the future, and for such violators viola-tors there should never be a season of rest. Now or never should the Utah problem be settled, and with the Government Govern-ment alone is the decision upon this question. ques-tion. It can have its own way now if it 1 but chooses to assert its authority and compel obedience to its laws. The strife in Utah should cease either by the vindication vindi-cation of the laws, or by the repeal of the laws which cause the strife. |
