Show i The Dispatch, because it stands for law and order.does not stand high with the wealers. We are always sorry to come Into conflict with anybody, but when it is a question of obedience to law the people will always know where to find The Dispatch. It will go as far aa anyone to repeal a bad law but while that law is in force it wi I never stick when it comes to be a matter mat-ter of obedience. There is no safety Bave in the law and there is absolutely nothing but danger outside of it. The wealers have an undoubted right to go to Washington when and how they pleare, but they have no right to go by stealing the trains or horses of others for the purpose of riding there. Whi!e they use lawful means only to have good laws passed they will have sym pathy. They will only lose that sympathy sym-pathy when they resort to unlawful means. Had the Tribune editor been on the ground here Saturday he would not bave published the paragraph Sunday mcrning relative to calling out the militia. It it a good thing when we cat) bt sure that there is always a force at hand to e'and by the officers of the law in enforcing the edicts oi the courts, which is not swayed and controlled con-trolled by the passions of the hour. Saturday's events teach us that in this county and city there are many men in deep sympathy w ith the common wealers weal-ers and who, for some reason, mortally mor-tally hate the railroads, and who would not render assistance to an officer in arreeting or restraing those seeking to injure the roads. The Standard has seen the democracy democ-racy buried and resurrected so often that it ought to be used to it by this tima. After failing to put the odium of the present hard times upon the democracy it is coming out amazingly. It will not greatly matter whether it is clothed in fur or in feathers. The yictor can well afford to be a little indifferent in-different aa to his garb. It is only the make-believe reformers who are compelled com-pelled to dress the character. From every point of the compass come reports of trouble with the in dustrials, U. S. marshals, ordinary peace officers and epeciaL police have their hands full in protecting the railroads rail-roads and keeping some semblance of order among the "armieB." It seems that we are in the midst of a revolution, revolu-tion, as yet bloodless, but whih seems Bure to be sanguinary enough ere many days have passed over our heads. What we like about the Standard is there is no paper in Utah so lowly but that its arguments are met courteously and fairly. It is too often the case with the "big" papers, that they fly so far above their little neighbors that they never see one half the good things appearing in the Utah papers. The grand jury will probably determine deter-mine bow much responsibility Mr. Car ter escaped by being absent temporarily, tempo-rarily, while his forces captured the tram near Lehi. Our idea is that the absence referred to will cut but a small figure in the case. It seems as if the women, Thompson's Thomp-son's speech and fate had conspired together to beat Breckenridge. That patriot's career is about wound up, it would seem. The Ogden PreBS doesn't believe Charley Richarus would do any thing crooked to win a triumph for his party. .Nor does anyone else who knows the man. The Herald is dead right when it says the people of Utah do not sympathize sympa-thize with the lawless who defy law by stealing railroad trains. The commonweal of Christ passed a quiet day, an exemplary Sunday, in camp, at least those of them who stayed at all. The Ogdttn Press intimates tbat Calvin Keasooer is a candidate for delegate del-egate in congress at the election ne xt fall. That is a queer result in Ohio, but McKinley says it is damnable, which is not queer. |
