The wrong is not in that kind of public sentiment;" but in the malignant effort which seeks to replace it by a maudlin sympathy for the hell hounds, who adopt brigandage as a profession and who value no lives except their own. Let the law take its course and after a ew more executions, the lives and property of good citizens may be safer. Several lessons are taught by the events recently occurring in Carbon county.

The evil is scandalously flagrant at Washington: and it has become manifest in this state and county to an extent which demands a prompt rebuke by the voters. A remedy is in the hands of the people. They are the employers of public servants. It is for them to choose officials with as much care as they would give to the selection of private employees. It is for them to punish official carelessness and venality as promptly and vigorously as they would chastise recklessness and dishonesty by men to whom they pay salaries in personal business. Just as they would turn detected rascals out of their private employ, so they should turn the rascals out of the public service.
