Of course, that means nothing, From a Democratic point of view, it simply chanced that way. Singularly, just such chances always follow the advent of Republican rule. The last issue of The Silver City Star: Salt Lake Argus contains an able argument in support of the independent paper as opposed to the old style party organ. We commend the closing sentence to the two great party organs of Salt Lake City which have been obliged to cut so many articles during the past few months in order to keep in line. As party leaders have conducted themselves in Utah, as parties have changed and switched it puzzles the average party organ to keep its bearings anyhow. Mo-hame- 'opening in icebergs.

Here, no money, no business, no good times. Every once in a while the denizens of county hear or imagine they hear the rumble of an earthquake, they see or imagine they see things shake, they feel or imagine they feel the earth tremble and the Bugler apparently keeps an earthquake scare set up for constant and immediate use. The latest sensation of the kind is reported from Bear River City. er Utah Editor and Printer : Editor thumping has become quite a popular fad among the roasted of Utah. We cannot understand how these feliows, who object to a little roasting in this world, will manage to get along in the next. It is very evident that they will be continually scrapping with his Satanic majesty. It is coming to be a pretty state of affairs in Utah when an editor must go armed if he publishes any adverse criticisms-whicdo not suit the palate of every h The Mt.

It The Ogden Standards idea is that the says : social evil does and always will exist and the best way to cure it is to regulate the vice by license and a well regulated police department to enforce such a law calculated to keep the social evil at the lowest point of offensiveness.
