Show Well, the new commission has been formed, and as usual Utah county has been left out in the cold, albeit we presented pre-sented the name of an irreproachable pentleman, an old citizen and an ex oellmt lawyer for the place. Salt Lake gets it all. This is neither just nor generous, besides being exceedingly unwise. un-wise. We have the second most populous popu-lous county in the territory, and are fairly entitled to consideration when these things are gofng.

How many additional blushes those lawyers have saved the people of the United States, God only knows We shudder when we reflect what a close shave this was. The wealers are not the squealer?, by any means. Their patience, endui-auce endui-auce and fortitude are admirable and worthy of a better -cause.-- However, '.heir discipline is - indicative of their devotion to the cause, eood or bad. The Tribune's article, yesterday under tbe head line: "Tramp, Tramp, and Why," was of a far higher grade than the one: "Look to It."
