Show In times like the present when tne whole country is filled with law-defying men, one good, cool and leyel headed officer is worth a thousand men. Such an one may be able to avert a disaster which would in a moment light the lin-s of a revolution that would shake the foundations of this government to their profoundest depths, a revolution in which, if a single man is killed, millions will inevitablv be sacrificed ere it is ended. How necessary is it then that the brave peace-officers of Utah county and Utah territory be wary, watchful, wise and forbearing. We cannot afford to have laid at our doors the responeibiltiea of commencing commenc-ing what is likely to be the greatest, bloodiest and the most disastrous re-vjlution re-vjlution in the history of the race. Coolness and circumspection are the qualities in demand now. Davis county, anyhow, is very tired of the wealer8 who are, like a swarm of Egyptian locusts, destroying their gardens and ating up the fat of the land. That county enjoins the wesl-ers wesl-ers from entering its territory. Iler-j is a spectacle, here is an object lesson for the citizens of Utah county who expended ex-pended so much ardent sympathy on them on the 12th of May, and defied our own officers to interfere with tLe men engaged in replacing the derailed engine upon the tracks.

When an industrial indus-trial does swear, like thie, which is seldom, lt carriep great weight with it. That one provision alone, free barb-wire, barb-wire, ought to be enough to commend the tariff bill now pending, to the farmers farm-ers of the west, but more especially those of Utah. We heard a republican republi-can farmer of Utah county say yesterday yester-day that there were worse things than a democratic tariff. This thing touched him in a tender place, hiB pocket. J The miners at Urn-pie Creek, Colo., are becoming bloody. They have caught the prevailing lawlessness from the atmosphere, it would seem. Yesterday Yes-terday they loaded a wagon with powder pow-der and backed it up against the shaft house of the Strong mine and exploded it. It is feaied that several miners were in the house. God help the weat aud tjouth both if these sections are to be turned over to the tender care of B. Clark Wheeler. B. dark could no more rise to the altitude alti-tude of such a combination than he could fly to the moon, Mks. Lease ia represented aa a pretty sick woman. A little dose of at home and a bit of indifference to politics would soon restore her, it is thought. The silent city, the laet Bweet resting rest-ing place the eternal camping ground, claims the attention of the Provo people peo-ple today. The great B.
