I would have them (Being personal opinions writer and for which no one else is in stand at his side in the glare of noon and flit round his couch as he slept. any manner responsible.) The writer has never been in sym pathy with the Western Federation of Miners during the trouble in Colo rado. An organization that will accept the advice of such men as Ed Boyce, a rabid revolutionist; that will allow men to enter its ranks who believe force and dynamite the weapons to use against the oppressors or sym does not deserve support pathy. But because had men obtain membership; because the entire society is permeated with the spirit of anarchy, does not excuse the lawfully constituted authorities for acts of lawlessness and brutality, such as have been committed in the name of the majesty of the statutes: It does not excuse 'men whose duty it is to protect the innocent, it does not excuse men from the shame and dishonor of persecuting them. A case in point that comes to me is that of. Emil Johnson, who died in Denver a few days ago, whether by his own hand of not, no one can with certainty say. Johnson was thrown into the bull pen at Cripple Creek with the first batch cf miners there imprisoned. His wife was given the privilege of carrying him one meal a day, but was not allowed to speak to him. During his incarceration a child was born to him which he was never permitted to see. lie was deported and made his way to Denver. His wife and four small children were left penniless at Cripple Creek. He applied to Adjutant General Sherman Bell, the martinet who commands the national guard of Colorado, for permission to return and get his wife and children, promising to leave the district at once after the task was completed. He was laughed at. He asked that he might write or telegraph, and was told that he could, blit his messages would not be delivered; that he was a man beyond the pale of military law. Next morning the poor devil was found dead in the poor apartment in which he had found ! The Divine attribute of forgiveness applies in almost every instance, but there are some cases where it is hard to put the rule in practice. One can overlook a personal Injury of a miner sort, but when it comes to pardoning a person whose actions have taken away the loved one; the head of the o family, it seems that little mercy should be shown the hyena.

Vice-Tres- It pleases him imwhen mensely any act of his is noticed by another paper, and, while we dislike to give the dolt any more notoriety than that ho has already received as a bungling grafter and all round, chump, still because of the infinite humor the situation affords Truth is fain to present the following: Dr. A. S. Condon, a mortal enemy of Glasmann and the hero of a duel with him, fought with dornicks as weapons some two years ago, in order to proveko the dolt announced himself as a candidate for the senate. This made Bill angry. lie grew warm In the region of the neckwear. Why any one, much less this ordinary pill pounder, Condon, should get in and oppose him was awful. So Glasmann, the editor and manager of the Stand-- , ard, sat right down and dictated a letter to Condon, asking him If he was running in opposition to Glasmann the candidate. The letter reads: Hon. A. S. Condon, Ogden, Utah. Doctor: We see from this mornings Salt Lake paper that you have. announced yourself a candidate for the United States senate In opposition to William Glasmann. Will you pleaso state for the benefit of the Standard readers if your candidacy is solely directed against William Glasmann, or do you enter tho race against all other candidates from this county, as well as from other counties? Second: Will you give tho readers of the Standard your ideas of conducting a senatorial campaign in Utah, with the Issues you consider paramount at this time? Also the lines upon which you expect to win your fight; also state whether this announcement of your candidacy removes you lrom the race for tbe legislature from Weber county. Please beussured that the Standard will show you every consideration which, as a good Republican, you are entitled to receive from a Republican paper. Respectfully, William Glasmann, Manager. Having received this communication from Glasmann, editor, relative to Glasmann, candidate, Dr. Condon sat down and indited a letter In reply. The answer contains considerably more ridicule than horse sense, but-Bilhas taken it as serious. Dr. Condon stated that he entered the lists against the world (he might have added tho flesh and the devil, but did not), and should feel greatly disappointed if he did not have the support of the Stanard, without reserve. Ho submitted as a qualification that ho was a gentleman, a covert thrust at Bill, who, if he saw it coming, dodged it, as he made no reply to it, and In lieu of denying If by silence admitted it. He saw' no paramount Issues except these which have made the nation great and informed Bill when the people saw him, Condon, working in their behalf they would be more than satisfied. The doctor declared that as many good men had qualified for the senate by service in a state legislature he believed it would be a good thing for him to run for both places this fall. Having satisfied Bills mind on the salient points, Dr. Condon closed his communication with a flight of rhetorical expressions that must have caused Bill to do a high wire somersault for he made no comments, simply alluded to the same as a concise statement. Really Condon has been having some fun with Bill. When will Hill find it out? hair-braine- d collar-aml-elob- w s l . o SALT LAKE BREWING CO, J. MORITZ, there is in it. . re- Stage Law vs Real Thing.
