Show H Nevertheless tho fallen fortunes of H : tho Silver King mine may luivo a dls- H i astrous effect on the "American" H party. Hi) H ' It will talto tho Tribune and the H ! Telegram all tho time now "explaining H f away'" tho American party's looting of H the city treasury. r , H 1 ' J J It makes n lot of dlffcrenco to tho H "Americans", of tho city council whose ox Is gored. Tho franchlso granted Hi tho Utah Light & Railway company U' they professed to bcllcvo was worth H anything from $5,000,000 to $50,000,000. H ' A gas franchise, howover, they think U is worth only $1,000 a year. BBTerJ ' J; Tho Trlbuno of Wednesday says tho PJ1 people of China and also of India are PJ, reaching out eagerly for tho Truth. H Taking that in a literal, flgurativo or H any other sense, it is certain that If in PJ their frantic endeavors after truth H ' they should happen to clutch tho TrI- I, buno they will bo the worst buncoed PJ crowd over known. H After all tho fuss tho Tribuno and PJ the Herald have mado it appears tho PJ Stato National guard will rccavvo tho PJ government appropriation ns before. PJ Tho Tribuno has done its utmost to PJ wreck tho guard. There are very fow PJ Utah enterprises it does not try to PJ wreck. PJ Tho chargo of perjury made against PJ Rev. Dr.' Brown was ono or tho most PJ audaciously blackguardly things over PJ heard of hereabouts. Tho caso does PJ, not contain ono element of perjury. PJ 'That any reputable citizen should be H ;: subjected to such an'lnaigrilty, without any foundation, as was offered to Mr. Brown Is an outrage. That his name should appear on tho police records with such a chargo against it is, under un-der tho circumstances, a cruel wrong, not only to Mr. Brown but to every respectablo man and woman In the city. Tho complainant, Donaldson, is of tho worst element of society. Even tho class to which ho belongs despises him. Bruco Johnson is a gentleman in comparison with him. The machinery of tho law should bo put In motion against him. The community would bo much better off without such as he. The Inter-Mountain Republican was unfair to ex-Senator Kearns a fow days ago in an article In which it was stated In substanco that the decadence in the Silver King mine was owing to the neglect of Its superintendent, Mr. Kearns, and that he was to blamo for tho reduction In the amount of tho dlv-dends. dlv-dends. In the first place the Silver King mine is practically a close corporation. cor-poration. Tho stockholders are but few and If they are satisfied with Mr. Kearns' management It Is none of the public's business. In tho second sec-ond place does tho Inter-Mountain Republican Re-publican expect that Mr. Kearns has the power to' cause pay ore to exist where nature has not placed it? Tho Tribuno used to publish accounts of the most wonderous doings, of Mr. Kearns when ho was in the United States senate, but even it never credited cred-ited him with the powers of the Creator. Crea-tor. If Mr. Kearns spent all his time and all his energy, his "untiring efforts" ef-forts" for a llfo time for tho Silver King ho could not create an ounce of ore. It's unreasonable of tho Inter-Mountain Inter-Mountain to expect It. Tliero is little good to bo attained by continuing tho discussion regarding regard-ing Judge Brown of tho Juvenile court. Tho Juvenile court is a good and useful use-ful institution and has tlono a great amount of good to the youth of the city. Judgo Brown Is nn enthusiast whoso heart is in his work. Ho Is human and therefore not perfect. His mistake in tho caso of the Knox girl, when all tho circumstances are considered, consid-ered, wns not by any moans as gravo as it has been represented. The Tribune, Tri-bune, and Telegram not only puts the worst possible construction on everything every-thing Judgo Brown did in tho caso, but In many Instances absolutely falsified. Tho solo reason is that they want Brown's scalp In -order to have some "American" patriot put In his place. They aro not likely to get It, howover. Judgo Brown for some months has been subjected to petty, but at tho same tlmo, very exasperating annoyances annoy-ances by the city recorder, who assumes as-sumes Bonio jurisdiction over tho Juvenile Ju-venile court. Tho recorder for some reason takes every opportunity to hinder hin-der and impede Mr. Brown, and misses no chanco to put In execution mean and contemptible little tricks. |
