Show The Evening Star takes off its coat and wadeB in to help the Tribune out in its battle with the Herald. It talks learnedly and interestingly of tbe work of the scavenger, but the simple fact i?, so far as the Herald and Tribune are concerned, they are about of a what-ness, what-ness, "bitch and ditto" and we do not feel a great deal of interest in the result re-sult of their present fight, at least the personal part of it. If it were a battle for democratic an 3 republican ; princi pies we should go in for the Herald's side, licking or no licking. The battle is Btrone enough, the dear only knows, but the cause of the fight is childishly weak and nonsensical. It ought to be Btoppe'ynflrther. TnE issue of Dun's Review of the loth, Bpeaks proudly of the increase in the volume of business done. If we only had more money, more gold and Bilker, business would fairly bloom Stocks are run down, especially in domestic do-mestic manufacturing lines, and if there was money to buy ow,the mills, especially in textile goods, could not supply the vast demands. The mills have been idle so long that stocks on Land are now lower in volume than they have been in many years. Give us more money and then stand by and see the people work. One is amazed in tbe presence of tbe awful injury tbe , 1 demonetization of silver has been. It is really amazing. The furniture firm which furnished the city and county building did not quite steal it all, but by the reports they did not miss much that was valuable. valu-able. "What a sad thing it is that this spirit of peculation has effected a lodgment in the virtuous west at last. It seems by one report we have seen that the company furnished about $20,000 worth of furnishings, but got their little bill in to the tune of $54,-000. $54,-000. Haneing is too good for this kind of thing and the officers who condoned the Eteal should go to the pen for life. It is very ead, but the Standard sees no hope for silver it the democratic party succeeds next year. We are just like the Standard, only we see no hope for silver unless it is successful in electing elect-ing a true blue, free silver democrat president of these United States. The Standard is bright and. witty, but not argumentative by any means, nor logical to any degree whatever. The only blunder or bad break made by the present administration is that it did not at once pass and sign free coinage bill. If it had done so in '92 or '93, all the powers of the air could not haye prevailed against the democratic demo-cratic hosts in '96. Now it remains to be seen just what a sound nomination and a good free silver platform will do. When a politician can call a monopoly mon-opoly an octopus, that monopoly is about over. Its happiness and profits Boon lay buried in one common grave. The Ogden Review has recently called the Western Union an octopus and we look to see it withered before the moon changes again. Sey not that words are not weighty. The papers haye had a good deal to eay here lately of Trumbo's bar'l and the Standard's ready access to it. Don't believe a word of it so far as the Standard Is concerned. We have an invincible confidence in the Standard's unconquerable virtue, none whatever, however, in the virtue of the yirtuous Trumbo. Nothing will or can open the eyes of the republican party on the eilver question. Xot even the Cleveland leagues convention. The silver history now running in the Logan Journal is quite interesting interest-ing as well as timely. |
