Show Judge Goodwin's testimony in the Arthur Brown damage suit, given on Monday, is the most wonder ful thing we have seen in print for many a long day. At the time of the occurrence of the events out of which the suit has grown, the Tribune used language eaEily understood as a sueeetion that Brown ought to have been assaesinated. When asked on Monday about this, the judge stood by his former declaration. All the while he was claiming that both he and his paper were then and are now, totally without malice. In heaven's name what constitutes malice if suggesting assassination falls short of that quality of bad feeling for our fellow fel-low man. - Just what the president will eay of the late landslide, we cannot say. We know what he ought to say. It is this: ,I, Grover Cleveland, am yery sorry that I didn't write a free coinage me3 sage during my first administration. Aa I did not do bo, so I am exceedingly sorry that I did not write one to the Special seesion; and further, I could I kick myself forever for not having written the document at the meetirg of the last session." That would give J him a chance at the third term, but we doubt if he has not sinned away his day of grace already and there is no more political work he can do for th e I democratic party. The talk i3 of a new party, as if any new party can do more tor silver than the democratic party is ready and willing wil-ling to do. It will begin the work juet as soon as it unloads Mr. Cleveland Cleve-land and a ew other democrats who have proven false to the good old hard money tenet of the faith. Let western democrats steer clear of all new party suggestions on this or any other basis. The bugles will soon oe blowing right merrily to summon old democrats back to the party standard, aari to another career ct victory on free coinage and the double standard. Col, Joiin T. Caink laughs to scorn the charge that he was untrue in his heart to Rawiins during the last campaign. cam-paign. He says the charge is unworthy the attention of any , sane man. The time and the year had come for ub to take our medicine and we took it. He sao Utah county "is a gem of purest ray serene." Oust delegation to the trans-Mississippi congress - should immediately hunt out the most intense and pronounced pro-nounced tree coinage crowd present and at once apprise it that Utah is present to do business for the good old-time old-time silver dollar of our grand-daddies, and that is what they are there for and nothing else. The "unterrified" may now be called the "undismayed." Every free democrat demo-crat in Utah is of the pick-the flint-acd" try-it-again variety. We intend to give both high and low chur chmea another an-other whack at the old constitutional party, and see what they think of it. A national, currency commission will be the next thing on the boards, we fear. Anything save the restoration restora-tion of silver. The country is not yet done trifling with finance. No 6emi-popuHst party, no compromise compro-mise party, and nothing but true democracy democ-racy can ever contend with the enemies ene-mies of silver with any hope of success. It does seem that there ought to be enough manhood in the United States to put down the Cook gang in the Indian In-dian territory, |
