We have never questioned his ability. Start
him wrong, and be is brilliantly wrong to
the end OF the chapter. Start him right,
as on the silver question, and he is able to
do q vast amount Of good work in Congress.
He has struck the popular line Of action on
the currency question, and seems disposed to
do his level best for the silver dollar. His
speech ON Monday was one Of the ablest

sAMM,s LATEST.

Mr.. Tilden, with his usual faculty for
ssizing opportunities to come before the
people when they don't want him, and
10 hide himself when he is wanted, has
oncs again rushed into print. The old
gentleman pretsnds to DO very angry
because the Congressional Committee
has concluded not to examine his pii-
vats bank account. He is very anxious
that they should see 1t, and consume
the peoples time by verifying the calcu.
lations OF the bank officers, and seeing
that the balance-shset is properly made
out. As the nation does not pay Con.
gressmsn to act rs clerks for Mr.. Tilden,
il is within the range Of possibility that
the committee will disregard the old
mans rawlings, and so quietly ON with
their legitimate work. He says that
there IL nothing in his bank account
showing that one cent Of his money
sver went to Oregon. OF course there
Il not. and that is precisely the reason
Why the committee declines to waste
time in examining Il. Samuel J. Tildsn
has done some very silly things during
this campaign. but his most bitter
snsmiss will not consider him such an
idiot rs to place on record In his bank
account the bribery which he has at
tempted. Oh. no, Sammy, neither the
people nor the peoples representatives
want to see your private bank account.
What the people do want, is for you to
come to the front and explain those
cipher dispatches in which the purchase
Of Oregon by you, you, Sammy, was
negotiated. The next time you rush
into print. do 1t to some purpose. and
tell ~ something that We want to know.

JOHN d. u.xx,s STORY.


AT length there IL q prospect that the
vail OF darkness which has 80 long en-
shroudsd the Mountain Meadows mas
sacrs Is TO be lifted. and so strong a
light thrown upon that hidssus tragedy
Of the plains that every actor in II will
b clearly seen BY the whole world.
That hoary-headed old rsprobais. John
d. Lee. has thrown his last card and
lost. new trial has been denied him,
and be viii be rsssntsncsd early in the
coming month. But be has no idea OF
going out OF the world unavsngsd. It
has davnsd upon him at last that the
Mormon leaders have deserted him in
his dire extremity. and that they mean
10 mako . scapsgoat Of him. and cover
thar vi crimes by offering him as a
sort OF blood atonemsat. Lee used to
believe In "blood atonemsnt." but now
that he Is himself in the position OF the
doomed victim. his faith In the divine
origin Of the sacrifice is seriously shaken.
He In in the clutches Of the Philistinss.
given over to them by his own friends
and accomplicss in crime. and must die;
but he san al least leave behind him
The true record Of that awful day. for
his participation in which he is nov to
sutherland that record he has prepared
and deposited with the proper officer in
Utah.
When the story written by John D.
Lee comes to Be read and Published to
the world. the mystery which still
clings to the Mountain Meadows massa-
ere will be cleared up. There arc men
and women in Utah to-day whose pa
rents were murdered on that terrible
day. and who are now living in the re-
ligious faith OF the murdersrs. Jshn D..
Lee knows every u OF these persons,
and his narrative will probably reveal
them 10 themselves and to the world.
But above and beyond all. this long
delayed story. will tell us who were the
real instigstors and leaders Of that hor-
ribls slaughter. II il limited now that
the document duplicates Brigham
Young. and others high in authority in
the Mormon Church. and it ismore than
possible that Lees revelations will fur.
nish q clue to evidence by means Of
which they al be convicted.
We have. thus, = good prospect Of
more Mountain Meadows trials, and let
Us trust more executions in sxpiation Of
. crime at which the world stands
aghast.

as to the question Of his title to the

which II has been assembled to solve"
