He may be a reformer, but, like the advance agent of prosperity, he is too far ahead of the procession. t Entered i at the Salt: Lake City Postoffice aa aeeond-elaa- a matter. There is almost, if not quite, as much complaint over the tariff tinkerDingley Tariff Bill. ing of the present administration as there was over that of the one preceding. The history of Wilsons trouble is being repeated today for Dingle vs benefit. And it all goes to show that the tariff is really more of a sectional than a party issue more of a selfish than a sectional question. When a Democratic Congress undertook to lower the tariff it found a Senator from this section and a Senator from that section blocking the way Democratic Senators actually protesting against any reduction of the tariff on certain articles produced in their respective districts. At present a Republican Congress is having a similar experience. The Dingley bill, a party measure, is not giving that general satisfaction, even to Republicans, that, might .have been expected. The New York Tribune finds fault with certain provisions, the Commercial-Advertiswith certain others, the Chicago Tribune picks a few flaws, the Indianapolis Journal complains of some features, and so it goes. The Senate made of it a veritable patch-wor- k of amendments to the great disgust of Mr. Dingley. Two hundred of the seven hundred changes are mainly verbal he says, but among the other five hundred are a number of consequence. People are growing weary of all this talk. They feel that enough time has been wasted already in promising prosperity. If there is the remotest chance of this bill bringing the blessed boon opposition to it is treasonable and inhumane. If it is all a delusion, a political dream, a campaign picture, let the people find out how they have been deceived. Pass the bill. The TERTIS OP SUBSCRIPTION.

THE ARdUS PUBLISHING COT1PANY, Salt Lake City, Utah. er Editor. JR., NOBLE WARRUM, The Western Federation of Miners met in Salt Lake City this week. In some respects, in attendance and interest, it was a success ; in other respects it was of no benefit probably a detriment to the cause of labor. That speech of its president, Edward feature Boyce of Butte; was the of the occasion. Hearing or reading it, one not w w initiated into the mysteries of the order would be very apt to look upon the Federation as an organized gang of outlaws and anarchists. But the members ' of it. are, with a few exceptions including .President Boyce, fi .patriotic citizens. Boyce is a radical whose incendiary utterances shock and alarm the good people of Utah. He has a grievance and shows his malice and declares his hunger for reR venge. He is like : the of the ehurch, the preacher who vents his venom from the pulpit. As such a leader injures the church be represents, so does such an officer injure the h order over which he presides. Edward Boyce is boiling over with rage and vindictiveness against the. governor of Colorado because he ordered out the State militia during the recent Leadville trike. His open threats of revenge are sweeping in their denunciation. He calls members of the State militia, which includes every man. in Utah whether enlisted or not, hired assassins. He counsels a boycott against them all. His covert threats are far more significant. He advises men who belong to labor organizations to arm themselves and to carry arms in defiance of the law. Boyce would better guard hi& mouth more carefully. It cannot continue to make him a living by intemperate, outgivings which are. bound to injure, the organiza-- . tion for which he pretends to speak. Boyce is Talks Like a Lunatic. over-shadowi- ng - - law-abidin- peace-lovin- g, g, bomb-throw- er l-- J -- able-bodie- d He was a brave little boy who leaped into the jaws of death to save the life of Of A Hero. his younger brother. . He was every inch a hero. The turbulent waters of City Creek held no terrors for him. Above the angry snarl of the hungry current he heard the cry of his brother in distress. It pierced his childish heart. Duty pointed to the little red shirt tossing and Im coming struggling in the muddy torrent. Jimmy, he cried, and without the slightest hesitation, in he plunged to certain death. Poor little man. His white, set face, the terror stricken, look of his eye, the agonized tone of his voice, all told of the danger he saw ; but his heroic conduct, proved that, child though he was, he would not allow danger to stand in the path of duty. Henry Pearson was a brave little fellow and his noble act of is worthy of a lasting token of commemoration. It is an easy matter for those who die. rich in worldly goods or honors to get a column in the daily papers, but many of the real heroes of earth are doomed to live and die Death In nearly all the churches it has recently been declared that the devil .is haying full sway in Salt Laks City. In one instance the theorist said his tail was made of playing cards, while whisky bottles, pipes, dice boxes, cigars and cigarettes made up his body. Murder was in bis eye and death in his heart. Yet he stalked unchecked through this community. People begin to wonder where in the devil are the preachers, that they find out so much. self-sacrifi- Boyce, the bold, bad man from Butte, calls every able bodied male citizen of Utah a thirteen dollar a month murderer. Boyce is trying to create the impression that he. is higher priced. Nobody will believe it. ce |
