Show It is now juet beginning tofilter through the public brain that perhaps Wiman is more sinned against than Binning. We do not know to what ex-! ex-! tent Wiman is responsible for the past policy of Dun & Co. but we do know that agency has ruined the commercial standing of more men and did it without with-out either rhyme or reason than any other commercial machine in the United States. It seems that the measures it adopted against Wiman were harsh, hurried and most unusual. The effect will and ought to be, to discredit, dis-credit, if it does not entirely destroy, this ruthless unfeeling and unjust commercial com-mercial fungus, which has been more a blackmailing enterprise always than a conseryator to commercial credit. New General Master Workman Sovereign crows a loud note when he says he will not obey the judges of tLe court unless he pleases. Mr. Sovereign Sover-eign will learn ere long that it is the i best policy, as well as the safest thing I ti do to obey the laws. As the head of the Knights of Labor he wields great power, but with all that the judge of one of our district courtB lays over him, as an armored battleship does a merchant-ship's dory. In this country coun-try law is still on top and must be respected, re-spected, let it be right or wrong. A woman in Montana has trotten herEelf into a bad scrape for palming off another woman's baby upon her husband. Down this way the joke is reversed and it is the attempt of the husband of some other woman to palm off his ovn baby upon some other man, which gets the bloods into trouble. Let us now have a little silver legislation legis-lation along with the tariff. Silver is our shortest road out of the labyrinth of commercial chaos into which we have been plunged by the too violent contraction of the volume of currency. Free silver will set us upon our legs again ; nothing else can. If the legislature has the right to say that eight hours Is a legal day's work, it surely has the right to sa"y everybody shall work eight hours anyway. If Buch a law were enforced they could soon shut up the free soup house at Salt Lake. We want, and will tolerate no church influence in the government of the Uniled States or any of the states, j The sooner the highir Catholic clergy pnd all other church influences understand under-stand this truth, the better will it be for all. We rejoice to note the activity in irrigation ir-rigation matters in south Utah. We feel sure that many new and important import-ant enterprises of this kind will be tie veloped this summer. We are glad to see interest in the militia bill revived. This territory h? s no more important matter before its legislature than this same bill. PbovO is very proud of her nineteenth nine-teenth century club and therefore ap preciate3 the Tribune's liberal report of its last meeting. Let us have a militia bill passed ere the legislature adjourns. |
