TWO SIDES TO A PICTURE.
Maine Standard favors Prohibition and
a State Police!
In Feb., 18C9, about the time a temper
ance State Convention was to lie held ,n
this city, the Maine Standard took a great
interest in the cause of temperance, and
expressed a great deal of virtuous indig
nation because the State Constabulary was
repealed. In an article at that time it
testified to the benefits of the State Police,
going farther than most republicans did
in praises of it. It said :
“Ac candid man will deny Ihn/tho 111U

sequence was that enough of them boiled the
party nominations, or stayed away from the
polls, to reduce the usual radical majority to
such an extent as to alarm tile political lead
ers.”
And the course of the Standard tip to
the time of the republican State conven
tion agreed with the above extract from
its columns. Itwasa l ttle AHEAD OF
ANl' REPUBLICAN PAPER IN THE
STATE in FAVOR OF PROHIBITION
until Mr. Perhum was nominated, when,
presto! what a change !
Pronounces Prohibition a Failure !
In the last number of that paper we see
that the Standard is not the Standard of
18(>'J, that whereas it was then the STAND
ARD OF THE STATE POLICE, now
it is the 8'IASDARD OF THE ••RIM
OUZZLe.llS'' and pronounces Prohibition
a failure. For the proof ol this woful
tnrn-over we call attention to the follow
ing from the last issue :
• It is some twenty-one years since the pro
hibition legislation was (ir-t tried in this State.
and ns one Inn alter another lias

enacted and new teeth incorporated year atter

as much as ever, and the disciples of force
areas dissatisfied and as clamorous as ever
for greater stringency and more teeth.
»•»****
Have the fruits of prohibitory law s been
such heretofore, as to warrant the belief that
the evils of intemperance can lie overcome
bv laws however stringent, and however rig
idly enforced? l ull a winglc in

sand* Upon thousands have been Saved through
the influence of temperance organization* and
true temperance eflorts, but where is the man
who hits been saved by force ot laws. ’
Why this change at this time we leave
the Standard to explain. After contend
ing for ft State Police so long, and de
uouuciug tlm ••rum guzzler*'’ (a* it calls
them), its unkind remarks about the
Chairman of the State Temperance * om
miuee.and its change against Prohibition
need explanation. That there can he no
mistake about the condition of the Stand
ard, is shown by the following remarks of
iu> editor;
Xr. Piilsburjr Wants no more “Teeth !”
After urging a State Police and more
•‘teeth” in the law, for the past two years,
here is what Mr. Piilsbmy lias rome to li
ne find him reported in ihe Argus' ac
count of the democratic State convention.

There is no man in Hie State who desires
intoxicating liquors but that can obtain them.
Hut with all their failures the temperance
men, so called, are never satisfied. They
are"constantly making new demands. Their
fanaticism wa.- illustrated.
If we are to have a State Constabulary
force and spies at our doors wherein is all this •
to end?”
This is no fancy sketch, but a picture
drawn front the actual tacts as they may
be found ill the columns of the Maine
Standard. This is a sample of what i
called by that paper fidelity to principle.
SALT LAKE CITY.
San Francisco, May. 1870.
The trip over the Pacific railroad has been
so often described that it seems superfluous :
to say anything more about it. 1 our readers ^
have had within a ft w weeks an account from .
another pen. The journey is a novel and in- ;
teresting experience to he once i njoyed. i he |
scenery, over a large part of the way. is very ;
monotonous. Hour utter hour and day after ;
day the train moves over endless plains, bar
ren of all vegetation except the useless sage
plant. At long intervals, mountain views oc
cur, grand beyond description. 1 he best of
these, unhappily, arc cut off fromsight by the1
snow sheds which on the summit of the Sierra
Nevada* for fifty miles in an almost unbroken
reach, are built over the track. In going
down upon the Pacific side the traveller rush
es in two or three hours from January to June,
from snow drifts to roses and (strawberries.
We have glimpses of placer mining, note the
increase ot the Chinese element in the popu
lation that comes into view, and feast the eye j
on the noble oaks which are spread over the 1
green plains.
The cars are so well constructed and fur
nished with appliances for comfort that the
long journey produces no fatigue. Hut in
midsummer the heat and dust in going over
the plains must be almost intolerable.
Instead of detailing the incidents of the
overland journey, it may afford more satisfac
tion to your readers to give an account of
A Day in Salt Lakh City.
The city of the Saints is now so accessible,
that a large number of the passengers going
j between the east and the west, delay their
progress for a day or more and turn aside to
glance at this strange community Your cor
respondent availed himself of the opportunity
and will now endeavor to take your readers
! with him to spend a day at the capital ot the
1 Mormans. Ogden is the point from which a
branch railroad about forty miles in length has
: been built connecting Salt Lake City with the
Pacific road. Arriving here at about six
I o’c lock in tin* evening, a party of seven trans
fer ourselves to n waiting train, which present
ly is under way. The route lies through a
broad valley walled in on either hand ! v snow
: crowned mountains. The marvellous clear
ness of tin- air in them' regions causes every
i summit, even though miles distant, to stand
out sharply defined against the sky, while
1 each ravine or scar upon tiie side is as clear
as though just under the eye. We pass sev
eral Mormon settlements at which the ears
stop, and in about two hours reach the city.
Good aecomnmdation»are offered the traveller
at any one of the three hotels. Our party of
seven find entertaiument at the Townsend
House, kept by a much-married Morman.
The sun tising in a cloudless sky over this
| valley, presents one of the most beautiful
i scenes of Nature. The light first glitters
I upon the snow on the tops on the western
summits and gradually steals down the sides,
moves aero'ss the plain and then mounts the
other side, until at last mountains and valley
all glow in the golden light.
The city and surroundings seen in early
summer, present an attractive sight. To
the traveller it is greatly enhanced by con
trast with long reactus of barren plain over
which he has just p issed. Il is situated at the
western base of a spur of the Wahsatch moun
tains, at a distance of several miles from the
famous Salt Lake which gives it a name. This
lake is in view for an hour or more in passing
over the railroad, but disappears before en
tering the city. Tile first party of Mormans
enter- d the valley in 1M7. They have now a
eitv of 25,000 inhabitants and numerous
towns ami settlements, extending up and down
the valley. Salt Lake Ciiy is laid out in
squares, with streets running north anil south
and east and west, each 132 feet in width.
Pure water is brought down from the moun
tains in refreshing abundance. ^Through al
most every street a stream flaws in a prepared
wav, suggesting coolness and fertility. The
dwelling houses are not large in size, many
being cottages a story and a half in height.
The material for the most part is “adobe" or
sun-dried briek. With each house is general
ly connected a garden and door yard of lib
era! size, and filled with fruit trees, which, at
the time of your correspondent’s visit, were
in full blossom. The form of the houses is
often suggestive of the peculiar institution of
tin- community, they being so built as to afford
separate tenements, each with its own door
for the different families.
A square, twenty acres or more in extent
surrounded by a high stone wall, constitutes
tile premises of ••President” Young. Here
are public offices, residences, a school house,
a museum, and we know not what else, for
we did not venture far within the enclosure.
His many wives do not ail live upon these
premises, but have their houses in different
parts of the city, some of the older and least
valued b. ing banished to very undesirable
places. The leading public buildings are a
Theatre earrii d on us an adjunct of the church,
and a City Hall, very creditable in appearance.
A general air of thrift and neatness per
vades the city. Stores of all kinds occupy
the business street. Those belonging to the
Saints are indicated !»y a peculiar bign, con
sisting of a large eye in gilt or color, above
which is ilie inscription “Zion's Cooperative
Mercantile Institution,” and below it “Holi
msi to the Lord." The Saints are of course
expected to bestow their patron ige on these
stores, ratio r than on those of the Gentiles, who
in about equal numbers invite custom. The
most prominent public building is the Taber
nacle, the one place of assembly for all the city.
It is an immense structure of wood and brick,
oblong in shape. 250 4Vet in length by 150 in
width. The roof is supported by <0 columns
of sandstone, each 15 or 20 feet high, which,
with the spaces between used for doors and
windows, constitute the wall. This roof
springs from the pillars in one unbroken arch,
and makes a ceiling f»5 feet from the floor at
the highest point. Its outside shape might he
well represented by cutting an eggshell
through the middle, lengthwise and placing
one half with the hollow side down.
The interior is very plain, being devoid of
all ornament. A wide gallery is carried all
around. At the end toward which the seats
face, stands a huge organ, said to he sur
passed in size by only one or two in the conn- I
try. In front of it and on either side is space
for a choir, then come four rows of seats,
descending in successive heights to the level
of the floor. The highest are occupied by
Brigham Young and his counsellors, the oth
ers by the Apostles, Bishops and Missiona
ries, each order embracing about twelve men.
The day of our visit chanced to he the first
day of the semi-annual conference, so that
we injoyed unexpected advantages for seeing
and hearing. At an early hour the people ,
began to stream into the city from the sur
rounding settlements, in cloth-covered wagons
which they established along the streets,
serving to make these their homes during the
days of the meeting. Our party join the
throngs making their way towards the gates
of the enclosure surrounding the Tabernacle.
We are quite respectable in numlu r and cer
tainly in leadership, having marshalled our
selves under the care of the reverend Secre
tary of the American Board of Missions, who,
happily for us, chanced to he making the
same journey as ourselves, ami linil turned
aside to see Monnondorn. Within the same
enclosure are the foundations of the “Tern- :
ole.” This edifice was commenced fifteen j
years or more ago. and is intended to he a
most magnificent structure. The material is
a fine granite brought with great labor from
tiie mountains, twenty miles distant. W oik
upon it lias been performed at intervals, and j
it may he doubted whether the Mormons will ;
remain here undisturbed long enough to com- i
p ete it. We are received with all courtesy 1
and conducted to eligible seats. A band ot
music outside entertains the people.
until the hour of service. The Taber
nacle will seat ten thousand persons, and
oa the occasion of our visit may have been j
halt tilled. Doubtless at a later period of the ;
conference, the building was crowded. The
audience itself is, of course, regarded by
every visitor with a high degree of curious
interest. Such a mass of stupidity and ugli
| ness our eyes had never beheld. It is gener
i ally known ttiat Brigham gathers his subjects'
! to a large extent from the lower classes in
Europe, and the prevalence of the foreign
element was very apparent. The counten
ances of ninny of the men were precisely
such as we sec in the illustrations given us
by the English and German papers when tliej
would represent a stolid clod-hopper. Sulm
looked as if they hail just supped out of tin
pages of 1’uneli. As to the female portion o
the audience, there is need of the pen of
Dickens and the pencil of Leech to adequate
ly represent the grotesque attire and the
varied ugliness of feature. In all the assem
bly the tye did not rest upon a single face
which had any trace of comeliness. Added
to original homeliness were the traces of care,
disaj poinlmcnt and misery. After seeing the
sort of persons win are drawn into this com
munity and the effect of the system even as
depicted in outward appearance, aversion is
made intense, and the desire earnest that
some method may be soon found and applied
for breaking up or banishing from our fair
land such an abominable organization.
TUg services commenced with the giving
out of a hymn by Brigham, whieli was sung
by the choir in fair style to the accompani
ment of the great organ. Prayer was then
offered by George A. Smith, one of Young’s
counsellors, in which particular mention was
made of “thy servant Brigham” and of absent
missionaries, and supplications made for
■•light," for “revelations,” for the “blessings
of life," and that the “power of the oppressor
might he brtken,” the latte r phrase probably
referring to Uncle Sam’s inconvenient watch
and restraint. An address was made by this
same Smith, who spoke with a fair degree of
fluency, for half an hour, uttering very little
that was oftV nsivo in sentiment, lie spoke of
the history of the Mormons and their leading
principles, omitting all reference to polyg
amy. “Squire Wells,” Brigham’s second
■ counsellor,followed. He is accounted an able
j man, but bis speech on this occasion was far
i from tending to confirm such an opinion. It
1 was vague, rambling and repetitious, ddiver
! ed, too, with such an appearance of embarrass*
! mint, as to make it at times painful to the
hearer. Perhaps bis mind was discomposed
I by the accompaniment to his voice produo d
by some scores of infants, who bad been
I brought in their mothers’ arms. He managed
to utter some things that forcibly reminded
! us where we were, saying, for example, that
the saints alone had any ]u-t idea ot (>od, and
that all other men, though calling themselves
Chi istians, knew no more of Him than the
heathen. He professed his readiness to prove
this allegation from the Scriptures, but kindly
forbore the labor ns superfluous. The con
cluding remarks were by Brigham, who con
fined himself to observations upon some
I points of conduct connected with the service
in the Tabernacle. He animadverted with
severity and wit upon the practice of bringing
infants to church, denounced the use of to
bacco within the Tabernacle, and concluded
with some words of exhortation. He is a man
about sixty-nine years of age, with a coun
tenance expressing much firmness and force.
His tone in speaking is that of one accustom
i od to be obeyed.
A brief prayer and a hymn concluded the
morning service.
Your correspondent will not weary his
readers with speculations concerning the
probable future of this people, or the way in
which they ought to be treated. Evidently
the problem which they oiler must be taken
up in earnest. Great changes must occur in
their relation to the rest of the world from the
breaking up the seclusion in which they have
until recently lived. Perhaps the railroad,
which they eagerly helped to build, may
prove a lever fur dislodging them. A social
political collision must soon occur, which will
shatter their system or drive them to some ;
remote part of the woild. This fair valley,
it is to tie hoped, will not much longer be
ih filed by an organization which is at war
with the fundamental conditions of domestic
happiness and social prosperity.

It was found impossible to get at it, so the
schooner was loaded with corn and came to
Frankfort. Alter discharging cargo, last
week, a hunt for the snake was made, its
