"Xo rascal ever saw tho halter draw, with go-i- opinion of tho law." Tho ring organ cannot be expected to have a (pod opinion of the instrument of its torture, The Times. For years past l'al Lnnnau's Own conducted itself in a manner as if it owned the Libera! party of I.' tali. Thosu of tho party who de-murred tothisasHiimption were prompt-ly squelched. There was no redress, no appeal from the dictum of the stern Patrick. Mortgaged his sheet may be, but no man could aspire to promi-nence in the party council un-less he lirst morlg.iged his soul to tho self constituted boss. Some day Titk Timks may deal at greater length with the arrogant nuto-cra- t of the ring organ. Opposition naturally arose to his rule, and men rebelled against the au-thority of an upstart who was not re-stricted even by the line.-- sensibilities pertaining to a gentleman to treat them civilly. Kt ill, no organized rllort to dethrone him could succeed since bis reign of terror backed by Mat-key'- ducats overawed all attempts in that direction. It is different now, however. The of Lanuan's O.vn is waning beforo the towering competition of Thk Timks. The ring organ is not paying any dividends. J t s tono of insolence is sometimes tempered with the voice of cajolement,. Mormon baiting is getting stale, flat and unprofit-able. Oi hello's occupation is gone. The. Liberal party has an organ in Tub TiMts that is fair, candid and fearless at the same time, and Editor-in-Chie- f l'at Eannan is accordingly sail at heart, and depressed In spirit. He is also lying sometimes jn his heart and in his Hi It Yesterday eri interview appeared in Tiik Timk.s with M. C. Phillips, show-ing the true animus of Jjunuiui's Own in persecuting Ueeordor llyams. Tho ring sheet rose In virtuous wrath to smite him hip nud thigh if he didn't acknowledge the boss and forswear Tiik Timks. If he did, ho might return and all would be forgiven. Fiven defal-cation, if it had occurred, would not stand in the way of absolution and si-lence, so long as the greater sin of of the boss was appeased. No influence whatever.savo that of justice, meantime swayed The Timks. In Latman's Own this morning ap-pears tho following: Am evening paper last niu'it containod a pur-ported Interview with Kalher Phillip rciwdln the action of the Tribune In the Hyanis matter. Wither Mr. Phillips was vi 11 fully misrepresented or sulci what Is untrue as reKarta the irnrl conclusion, with the etiancpn In fat or of Hie forun-i-si.it- of uri.rs. Mr. I'h lllpi kmiHs tin" i iuv alioa t o we'l to mi.ka :iny such nUtcmenl, tvh'ch Is a f.iHe-hoo-en the f:ice of It. This dental is made, not because of the paper In which thmilisunlity absurdly appears, lint because the n itno of an old timer, who, In time past, has been en-titled to respect. Is made respoimlhiH for It. The interview referred to was gen-uine, authentic, true. Lanuan's Own knows it, and shirks tho consequences in its usual dastardly and cowardly way by relegating tho denial to a local scribe. It will never do,, however. The business end of the paper appreciates that already, and it is thus that l'at rick's tough conscience can be touched to the quick, A coijkespoM'Knt wr iNs t tho New York Sua aVuit Co: g e smaii Carter's hill on tin' irnf.'iLon ' problem, It takes an cniir'y new tack on this important qucMion, and is a very rea-sonable proportion, apparently. Tak-ing the swamp land laws that were passed in the liflics as a mode, he pro-pose- s to grant to the st.-.t- e; of the rain-less rc;ioii ill! de-ic- i t lands within their borders, upon the condition I'uit the states shall reclaim these lands by irri-gation. The whole subject is to be put in charce of a government bureau, probably to be cnnuec'.ed with the iigri- - cultural department, who-edut- y it shall be to see that the states enter upon a' system of improvements by build-in- j reservoirs and digging ditches that shall reclaim from year to year a rpiota of these lands, to be agreed upon between tho states and the I'uited States when tho grant is ac-cepted by each state. Mr. Carter says he docs no", believe that the irrigation question cm bo settled In ftny other way. Tho t'Jniteil States would bo very slow to enter upon the practical work of irrigation, whi'.o the states would have a direct interest in bringing the lands into tho market to increase the taxable valuation of property and pro-mote settlement. The hostility of the Farmers' alliance to the further survey by the I nited States of streams avail-able for irrigating purposes is another inlliaence which works favorably for Mr. Carter's project, lie propoes to include in the grant all timber laud that is Th's it done to give the state a supply of lumber for building Humes.

Wo do not believo the name is used with any authority from the gentleman himself. Ho cannot allord to give up the lucrative position ho now holds for an inferior one; and the city cannot afford to take away so useful an ollicial from a responsible office and clothe him with another less responsible. Either way tho proposition is unfair. Moreover, when Col. Page was beaten in the race for county recorder last August, ha expressed his regret for run-ning at all. He said Ida position as sec-retary of tho Utah commission was good enongh for him, although the county recordorship is worth many times more than the city recordorship in the mattor of money. To make Col. Page a candidate for the latter office would be equivalent to a degradation. Col. Page is too good a man to be degraded. Ho should not be con-sidered as a successor to Hyanis. "Retire, marry, return," is still the best advice given to Parnell. Sooner or later he will have to accept it. A Pennsylvania man was sentenced to eighty days jail for swearing. At this rate Pat Lannan would have to servo a lifo sentence. Two Things That Are Satisfactory. Lawrence (Kan.) Journal. Congressman-elec- t (Mover gives it out cold that the senator of the alliance legis-lature elects this session must be a man who "is satislied with the present Christ and the present plan of salvation." We remember now, since Mr. Clover men-tions it that those were two of tho few things the alliance did not propose re-forming. The Liberal slogan now Is: ' Stop thief I" Herald. Tiik old slogan was not to stop him, but to let him pilfer. Mixner's successor has beon con-firmed. His name is Spanish enough to suit the South Americans. We hope Romualdo Pacheco will not attempt to run the contiueut. Would Strengthen the Market. St Louis (ilobe-liem- o rat. Jay (iould is a highly reputation in-dividual. Nevertheless, if he should go on a tour through Africa, tho antarctic regions or some other place where he would be out of eonininnclation with civilization fer a few years, the stock market would be strengthened. Thanks to the fanners' alliance for one thing. It retired Wade Hampton from the senato. Fxceptiug us a relic of the "wah" Wade Hampton had no mission in congress. SILVER. The silver men in and out of congress are aggressive even to audacity. They know they are in a majority and in tho right, and kuowing this they mean to push their advantage; strike the iron while it is hot. Tho stringency in the money market and the resultaut busi-ness failures are the most potent argu-ments they can bring to bear upon the subject. They utilie them accordingly. The manifesto issued yesterday by the utinnfil Sil-,- r ( 'nmoiisinn is unanswerable. It cannot be de-nied that "all attempts to relieve the present situation by increas-ing the volumo of credit currency or multiplying credit expedients can af-ford but temporary relief. With the gold supply constantly diminishing, the population increasing and the business rapidly expanding, recurrences of tho present situation must come." But the opponents of silver do not stop to argue the merits of free coinage; they simply harp upon the inopportune time to pass such a measir.-- just yet. They claim the bill passed last summer has not been properly tested and should have a chance before further legislation is attempted; also, that free coinage should he deferred until the Latin union can I o brought to consent to This pol-icy is cunningly calculated to persuade some silver men to wait or cease their clamor for the time lieini. Debiu in the end and aim of tho gold advocates in the hope that something might turn up in tho meantime to dWtract tho sil-ver men. We believe the tactics will win. We believe that no pressure will be strong enough to convince the coin age committee of tho house that it must report a free coinage bill an I with tho inliuences at work on every side we do not believe the house is quite ready to take the matter out of the hands of the committee and into its own. We will have to wait a little. Too lllg Even lor llould. Chicago Inter Ccean. Jav (ioul I may corner all tho west-ern railroads but when ho undertakes to pocket the west he will find that there are some things too big for even a Wall street wizard to possess. Js the house of congress the disposi-tion of the funds derived from confis-cated Mormon property is up for de-bate. Tho money will probably be devoted to the use of the public schools as it should be. The beautiful tints of sunrise and sunset, the blue and cloudless Bkv, the mild and gentle zephyrs, the pure nnd refreshing atmosphere that mark our December weather, make life worth living in this mountain sheltered region. Bad blood flowed freely today nnd it was not confined to its usual courso, either. Salt Lako is usually peaceful, notwithstanding its metropolitan growth, and such scenes of lawlessness as Tue Timi.s is compelled to chronicle are uncommon. In Canada the lash is still an instru-ment of legal punihhnieut. In Montreal yesterday a victim fainted at tho first stroke acd remained in a state of collapse. Tho dispatch laconically remarks: "The remainder of the pun-ishment will be inflicted in January." Kill or cure, that is. We would rather take Agent Mc- Laughlin's word for it that "there is no danger of an outbreak and never has been," than that of General Miles to the contrary. McLaughlin is a sagaci ous jnau who has spent all Ilia life among the Sioux. The savages are all right; it ia General Miles who is all wrong this time. The letter carrier's ball last night is remindful of the efficient service these men render tho public. They are intel-ligent, prompt and accommodating. They are part of a system so admirably managed that no one would suspect the difficulties and disadvantages which tho inadequate facilities in the crowded quarters impose. The Salt Lake post-ollic- tf is one of the best conducted in the country. K |
