Show TnE Tribune grows argumentative as well aB logical in an article yesterday. yester-day. It now reasons that the roads should accept cut fares for the industrials, indus-trials, in order that they may find their way east to their homes. As if it were their especial duty to see that every j stranded wanderer-should sooner or later take his seat, ut the ingles'd ', from which be wandered to seek his fortune, after it has been demon-etrated demon-etrated that the fortune was a myth. The Tribune is a soft-hearted paper, generous with the railroad's money. This is like some people who are eorry for the death of tbeir friends, so sorry that they at coci writ Jong obituary, and aek the paper to print it for nothing. It is easy to be thus sorry at other people's expense. Those who encourage anarchy are anarchists, to all intents and purposes, juBt as much as are the men who march under the red banners themselves. When thiB little Provo escapade is over and men have had time to reflect and to return to their reason, there will be red faces enough in these parts. Some were badly glamoured, though. Just how it comes about that the ragged band managed to hypnotize so many ordinarily clear-headed men, we fail to understand. From the Tribune to the Enquirer, all the repualican pa pers in Utah haye been under the spell. It is strange, but alas! true. Judge Smith's charge to the grand jury at Nephi excites someway a good deal of favorable comment. Why (should it? Judge Smith is an officer of the law and one charged with its correct cor-rect administration. He can do nothing noth-ing else save see that it is enforced. He deserves no praise for simply doing hiB duty as a faithful, honest and conscientious con-scientious officer," as he is. They may laugh all they please at West's kids, but those same kids, when they threw their sheila into their Winchesters made the wealers and tbeir blatant sympathizers coil. It is true the poor little fellows did not have their cradles to sleep in, but they did their duty all the Fame. A bit of a shindy between Portugal and Brazil would be greatly relished by the balance of civilization, without doubt. Should the war assume a magnitude magni-tude to justify it, the military men among the wealers might find plenty of congenial employment in assisting Brazil to lick her mammy. It seems quite natural for the re publican newspapers to advocate the mob. By the mob they are appreciated appreci-ated and accepted as authority, while conservative people, who are nearly all democrats, stand by the law and are not commonweal adjuncts. Tns railroads are responsible for their own policy. If they choose to adopt that which will cost them money, they Buffer. Let them manage man-age in their own. way. We are not hurt. While we are worrying with the industrials in-dustrials up here, the southern Rapt-:st Rapt-:st convention at Dallas, Texas, is worrying with the catholics. The deyil's in the times, to be sure. Governor WtbT may well ignore the pelting he receives from the republican re-publican papers. He but grows in the estimation of honest men , thereby. The Western freight association have restored the old rate from Chicago to tlio Missouri river. What was all the tight about, anyway? The Industrials in Idaho do not seem to be the lamblike creatures they are in this region. |
