Show The Davis woman at Salt Lake tried for enticing E lith Karren into a hous e of ill-fame, was convicted Wednesday. She will be sentenced on the 20th. We mean no contempt of court when we say, we hope and trust the sentence will be the outside of the law. The crime merits death and we are sorry that it is not death, in this instance. Think of the wretched life this poor girl must lead all the balance of her life. Poor inexperienced girl and all because of this human hypna of a womaL. It makes one shiver to think that there are women in this enlightened enlight-ened age who prey upon their own sex, upon the young and innocent in this way, and take pay for the yile service, from wretches like the man Lynch.

A shipper, or a passenger ould then go into an open market and bid for the best rate and get it. The Herald counters nimbly upon itra troublesome cotemporary,the News, in its iesue of Thursday. The Herald discovered some rather grave derelictions derelic-tions on the part of certain Mormons domiciled in Idaho, and spoke of them, more, as we take it, to correct the morals of those people in the capital of the neighboring commonwealth than avthing else. For thia the Xews rasps the Herald. Now why should the itfews fash its beard if a secular paper should speak of these matters? What business has it to squeal? The Tribune has again discovered a very serious lapse in the Herald and predicts an editorial apology before the thing is righted.

Lilidokalani's abdication Is totally without significance to the world. A half savage wench who claimed to be a queen in Hawaii concludes, after a brief rebellion, to abdicate her pretensions. preten-sions. That is all there is to it, and the republic has come to stav, or until un-til it is absorbed by its large neighbor, which we hope will be soon. The Princess Di Collonna is again in the papers. Why can't the associated associ-ated press suffer these vulgar people, their monev and domestic troubles to remain in the grateful security of their native obscurity? The news yesterday was not favorable favor-able to the prospect of any immediate settlement of our financial troubles and silver makes no progrees. This is pitiful. |
