The town would have applauded him. You see, no one could make a fight on the chief when he was right. No one could properly defend him when he was wrong. And he was wrong in the McWhirter case. And the Tribune was frightfully wrong in defending him, in badly advising him, in lying about a conspiracy which it knew didn't exist. No, if. as the Tribune now admits, the chief should -have arrested McWhirter and Bell, then the whole bottom of the Tribune case and the Sheets defense and the pretense of a county fight against the city falls out. And the Tribune was right about it Saturday. That is what the chief should have done. Failing to do that, he laid himself lable to the charge of collusion with the robbers, and he was properly prosecuted.

In its Saturday article, speaking of the Sheets case, the McWhirter case, the Tribune says Chief Sheets should have arrested both MeWhirter and Bell Why' That little statement gives away the whole Sheets-Tribune case. If there were nothing in this case but a political plot from beginning to end, nothing but a conspiracy, then why should either ef them have been arrested?

A recent editorial In the Goldfield News recounts the evil record of the peace destroyers there. It pulls the record on them, and makes clear that the men who intimidated Goldfield were simply traitors to the United States government, outlaws by their own declaration and enemies of so ciety, wherever found. It required the presence of the federal troops to give the people of Goldfield a correct viewpoint again. In that incident they saw how small was They saw the professional agitator. how big was the government. ‘They of their local obligarealized some tions. They know now that they must fignt-if necessary-for peace; and that the nation-the whole nation- will see that the cause of peace and right is won. That was the necessary thing. Now that the rebels have learned the lesson, now that the loyal men and women of Nevada have found they are backed by the greatest nation on earth, there seems to be small reason} for anticipating violence. And it will be a bad day for the rebels if they try their old tricks when the troops are removed. JOHN BRANSFORD, MAYOR, It seems to be pretty generally understood that there are trying times ahead tor John Bransford mayor. We hope and trust he will come creditably out of that trial. Through the campaign we opposed Mr. Bransford's election-for one thing-because we did not think he could stand against the gray wolves of his new party- the fellows who arrogate to themselves the right to dictate appointments and control policies. There seemed warrant of reason for the belief we entertained. Men more used to contending than he had tried it and failed. Now is the time to see if Mr. Bransford has the qualities the mayor of Salt Lake ought to have. For he is mayor, gentlemen. John Bransford was elected. And honest men and women who yoted against him want him to understand managers are Mayor ee Ree Bransford | not right.

They accept the result of the election, because it is the spirit of our institutions that the majority shall rule-but that the minority is part of the whole. The people who did not support Mr. Bransford at election are of the mighty, concrete force willing and ready to back him in all good works. They are for him. He is their mayor, just as much as the mayor of any one else, They are not at all dictating to him, They have no friends to urge upon him, no favors of official action. They only say to him: "Do your duty, Mr. Mayor, and we, the people, are with you!" And they are. And the number of them is much more than the ten thousand that voted for him. Just do right. At the beginning of the year, when there are appointments to make, when there is policy to determine, when all the old is past and gene and all the new is to be faced, Mayor Bransford is commanded by the little politicians of his party, the gray UTES TROUBLING UTAH. wolves of his new organization, to Very likely those people of San drive from the service men who do Juan county have abundant reason not answer a party or a church test- for appealing to Governor Cutler to! no matter what their record in the have the marauding Utes driven back. public service may have been.

If the work were made bard enough, and the sentence certain enough, tramps would settle the difficulty by getting out of town on their own motion-waiting for no one to tell them to go. In the absence of such a corrective why can not the hundreds for whom the city is not in any way responsible be sent packing? Either that or an increasing prevalence and degree of crime is in store for the people. THE POOR IN ST. PETERSBURG. Most of the dispatches from the capital of Russia deal with political conditions.
