Show Ills excellency, the governor, on Wednesday appointed R. W. Young to . a brigadiership in the UUh National Guard. Mr. Young is the manager of the Salt Lake Herald and is wel equipped by training and by natural gifta for the high position. He is a graduate of West Point and has had four years severe training on the staff of the immortal Uancr jk. We Eincerely congratulate Gen. Young, the governor for the excellence of his choice.and the National Guard for the excellent com- manaer cuosen ior mem. we feel a great pride in our Utah soldiery and we have not a doubt but Gen. Young's appointment ap-pointment will amply satisfy every true interest of the new state of Utah as well as of the guard itself. THAr man Joe O'Brien is now a horrible hor-rible eye-sore to the Tribune. He shaved pretty close about the place where the Tribacs lives a little too close to be either satisfactory or de sirable. We remember well how the paper fought Sheriff Hardy all through the campaign, but we did not think for once of an attempt to beat him by ballot bal-lot box stuffing. Well, well, we live In queer times and we have some very queer republicans these days. It generally gen-erally happens, ho w ever, that the real I thief bellows 4,stop thief" louder and I more persistently than any one else in I the crowd. These chickens are now J coming home to roost in very sizable 1 coveys too. Post-M A8TE3. .General Bissell has quitl The rats are abandoning the sinking Cleveland. Too much gold has disgusted Bissell and he throws down the burden of his cabinet duties and hies him to private life. Now if only Hoke Smith and Carlisle were to follow suit, it would be a good thing. One thing is certain, the president can't find worse men for the two places than those he originally appointed. The Tribune doesn't very often do a graceful thing, but when it does it makes a. finishtd job of it, as witness its notice of Mr. Young's appointment to the command of the National Guard of Utah. That was certainly well done for the Tribune and it there is no ulterior ul-terior ebject behind the thing, very generous. The Tribune crew does not come out of the trial in the supreme court of the ballot box stuffing cases. The outraged out-raged law flashed and blazed all about theii heads. If there is anything particularly immaculate about "that greedy old hulk, we have seen and heard very little of it, Lobd! Lordl! how the Tribune licks its chops over the termination of the election cases in the supreme court. That's what makes defeat so bitter. We can stand anything better than to witness thiB unclean rejoicing. However, How-ever, next fall it will be our turn at the bellowB. There is a perfect epidemic of suicide, sui-cide, as there is of robbery and bank defalcations in the. country. This will continue until times are better. It is always the case during panic seasons. This does not speak well for the manhood man-hood of the people. It is no use ingoing behind the returns re-turns in the late defeat of Mr. Pattison tor mayor of Philadelphia. The people peo-ple of that city didn't want him, that is all, and they said so with a good deal of emphasis, to be sure. It will be many years before this country will forget the recent bond sale by the president and more years by far before they will forgive him very well for it. Mb. BitSKLL does not strengthen himself by saying that the whole cabinet cab-inet was an unit in its support ot all the measures of the president. |
