Show Dr. Parkrurst has turned his batteries bat-teries against the papers. It is one thing to put down the corrupt police of New York, but quite another thing to deal with the press, as the good doctor will very soon find out. The press of New York, however, is a bit corrupt we fear, but just how to reach the papers we do not see, nor do we believe Dr. Parkhuret does, either. The papers certainly cer-tainly made Supt. Byrnes,and probably most of hiB inspectors and police captains. cap-tains. If there were any means of pun-iEhing pun-iEhing them for their bad offices in that business we think the remainder of the papers of the union would say amen to it with a heartiness that would be bewildering be-wildering to their Gotham brethren. John MbBkide, the new head of the confederation of labor, says government should prescribe how much money or money's worth a man may leave to an heir; all other monies in excess of this should become the property of the state.There are few newspaper men who could fit out up to the required standard, bo the matter will not very greatly interest us. Don't let the boys grow nervous, but let them fight the iniquitous suggestion sugges-tion with all their force. Mr. McBride can't do anything with the idea without with-out the papers, anyhow. Wi only know that the senator from Idaho will be a republican. Which of the lot we cire not. His weight will be thrown ggaipst silver, and there is where the misery comes in at. With i the record on silver we can expect no I sure help from a republican in the pious duty of reversing republican action in '73. It would be "agin natur." Silver will never get efficient help from a republican. No set of men on earth would or could write a free coinaee bill which , President Cleveland would rlgn. He is dead against silver and no earthly power can move him.lt would have been a great thing for the country as well as the democratic party if it had recognized recog-nized this truth before the last nomination nomin-ation was made. Where are Mickle and Ko fiord? No one knows, at least that is Johnny Brown's idea. The fellow who sent Brown and Fowler on a wild-goose chase to Nevad a after the innocents, wants to give Provo a wide berth until the wire edge wears off with the marshal mar-shal and the sheriff. Mr. Faib had only one wif e and one set of legitimate children. These he proyideB for munificently, but the will says if any others apply they are to have $50. Now that is rather too lamblike lamb-like and saintly even for the death-bed of a bonanza senator. The Tribune is playing that Sanpete gag for all that it is worth, but its readers read-ers are becoming a bit tired of it all the same. It it was an honest vote and he boxes contained an honest vote. at the close of the election, why don't they contain it now? , . A good deal is being said about Senator Sen-ator Fair's will, and the disposition of his large fortune by it. The only thing we see wrong in it is, it does not leave anything to The Dispatch. If that fault were corrected, the will would be perfect. The Herald justly says in reply to the Tribune's demand that the commission commis-sion retract, that the commission has nothing to retract and it gives some very lusty reasons for the faith that is in it, in Monday's issue. The Herald is rather hard on tobacco to-bacco chewers in connection with the new city and county building. It is better not to call names. Some very decent men chew tobacco. Ik Nashville, Tenn., the catholic members of the Knights of PythiaB defy the pope and ref U3e to abandon their order. This example is sure to prove to be catching. Universal, regret is expressed for the condition of our townsman, Mr. J. W. Turner. A good man and citizen is hanging between life and death. We do not like Mr. Cleveland very greatly, but we do not think he is qnite fool enough to call an extra session The Trlb. has at last awakened to the gravity of the situation in the east. We feel now measurably safe from Mongolian Mongo-lian encroachment. |
