JAY GOULD AT THE PLAY.
The Little Wizard OF wall street Unbenda
and Laughs at Miss Tcrry's Comedy.
Ne,o York Journal

Neto York Journal.
The other evening Jay Gould was an interested
spectator of the Irving performance Hohod with
him his wife and several Of the smaller Goulds
comprising, of course, his inseparable and well
beloved son George, who begins to look as II the
jollity Of the metropolis were little too much for
him. George has no vices, but he sol dom goes to
bed before 2, and his father insists that he should
be down 10 breakfast at in tho morning.
jay Gould, out of Wall street, throwing the care
of litigation, speculation, prevarication from off
his mind, is a very different Jay Gould than the
one we SEQ bustling down Broadway at midday,
or that other VIC see pictured in the comic
papers The theater-going Gould Is jovial, full OF
quiet spirits. of fnthorly bearing, with an inter-
ested sparkle in the eye, tho bent shoulders almost
straight under the influence of momentary excite
ment-almost, in fact, the perfect picture OF n
benevolent man.
You should have seen tho lines furrow up the
eyes dart sunshine, the whole countenance
broaden out to n srnile and then 10 hearty laugh
when Miss Terry sang her ditty asiLetitia Wardy
And tho way he clnpped his hands and moved his
legs Why, II was like n boy going to his first
pantomime, so genuine so hearty, so spontaneous
was his Joy. This was not the Gould of our imagi-
nation or of the newspapers II was little man
with black beard. dark, kindly eyes, wholesome
appreciation OF the fun and good humor of this
world, and a general determination to get what
good there was out of It,
| The audience was not quite sure which was the
best play to look at-the one going on upon the
stage or the one centering about Mr.. Gould's box.
Irving himself occasionally stole glance at the
magnate OF finance If curious to sec the effect
of comedy upon man whose own life has been
full of dramatic surprises, so dark and tragica
at times so full Of situaton,"" incident, ""plot,"
and climax"
Then when the curtain was down and the people
were moving out toward the door It was however,
the same thoughtful. saddened brow. saturnine

THE story is set afloat that the New York Com
DerciaL advertiser is to be President Arthurs per-
sonal organ. What have the gosslps done with
the Washington REPUBLICAN? For two years past
they have insisted that the REPUBLICAN, was the
Presidents organ week ago they made the
Capital the Presidents organ. They were as right
then as they are now. The President has had no
organ, and wants none He attends TO his own
business, and lets the newspapers say and do what
they please.---BU6dlo Commercial.
Tho above is to the point. When THE RE-
PUBLICAN passed under its present manage
meat several very uneasy papers declared that
it was to be the personal organ of the Presi-
dent, and proceeded to declare that such o
thing should not be. THE REPUBLICAN took
occasion to declare that it was not and would
not be personal organ, and it has persisted
in expressing itsown opinions in its own way.
Lately the same papers referred to above have
been complaining because the President would
not, at their dictation, undertake to control
the editorial utterances of this paper. OF
course these growlers care nothing for con-
sistency. The Commercial is quite right.

THE English government thought it had
swallowed Egypt whole. Now appears that
it only bit OIL pieco of it. The fierce fanat-
les under III Mahdi have already avenged the
deaths of all the Egyptians who had to be
sacrificed to satisfy the English policy OF
kidnapping Egypt for Egypts good, and un-
dcrtalSing TO rule it for tho good Of English
ascendcncy at Suez. This wild whirlwind
rcaped from the sowing of British wind will
excite the commlseration of mankind for its
hapless victims, but will perhaps operate as
some restraint on British rapacity and its dis
regard of the rights of other people.

comfortable condition, all things considered.
The speech of Herr Scholz, minister OF
finance, in the Prussian diet yesterday de-
veloped the fact that the kingdom had a
surplus revenue of 290OO,OOO marks in the

American product will again be admitted.

sNEAKING OUT OF IT.

AS every body knew would be the
case our morning contemporary re :,
fuses to state the names of the par
ties that it alleged had made threats
against it, and declines to give the
data upon which the senseless ap-
plication for protection was based.
This silence confirms the public in
the belief that there was absolutely
nothing in the scare which the Iri-
bttfle assumed. 1t is an old dodge of
that paper. 1t has been worked for
years, and become stale and common
place. 1t is no longer even sensa-
tiohal. Nevertheless, it is disreput.
able, and beneath a respectable
journal. People who have submit
ted for ten years to the vilest
SANDER and abuse in the Tribune.
are not apt to rise up now and re-
sent the villifcation. They have
endured more than any other
community under the sun
would have suffered. 1t has
often been thought that our
contemporary was annoyed at the
stubborn seIf-restraint of the peo-
pie, and would rejoice were the
community to break loose and COM
NIT some act that would fasten the
letters upon them. Whatever else
the Mormons may be they are not
fools, and they rarely play into the
hands of their enemies. If they had
been given to such acts of folly,
they would have been in a sad fix
long ago, for the traps that have
been laid for them and the schemes
invented for their capture and
overthrow have been as numerous
as they must be discouraging to a
certain class. The Tribune NAV
possibly entertain fears-we do not
believe 1T has any, nor that it has
ever been in the least degree
alarmed-but this much we know,
that so far as being in any danger
from a mob is concerned, it is the
safest establishment in Salt Lake.

ELSEWHERE WE reproduce from
our evening contemporary, the
ChTOHjcJe, an interview with Judge
Carlton concerning that complaint
which Edwards Pierrepont went
out Of his way so far to present to
President Arthur. The Judge shows
by his language that he regards
Pierrepont as other intelligent
people do-as a fossilized crank
whose whining is Imaginable rather
than a matter for serious cons;dera-
ton. The idea that the Commission
has brought "great scandal on the
Republican party" is ridiculous but
thoroughly dudesticai. We defy
the Commission to bring greater
scandal upon the Republican party
than it has brought upon itself in
every attempt that it has made to
legislate concerning Utah. The
interview with Judge Carleton is
worth reading.

LYNCHMG-THE DIFFERENCE,

Lynching is unlawful; it is muir
der. Yet it is a crime invariably
condoned by a majority of those
most immediately concerned az a
community. OF course, there al
ways exists a difference of opinion
as to the details of a lyncLing and it
is by no means uncommon that in
visiting capital punishment, those
who take part become infamed
and go too far. Such occurrences
are disgraceful and degrading, but
have no bearing whatever upon the
questionable the victim merit
death any more than the Emeans
to be employed in executions affects
the decision of jury. These are
secondary considerations such as
belong to and have their origin in
the civilization and humanitarian
instincts that prevail in the COM
munity where the execution takes
place. Every good citizen objects
to lawlessn9ss and crime in whats
ever form; and lynchiDg is
one of the many, Yet
lyuching is not without features
that commend it, or it would not be
applauded by individual and CONS
munity sentiment-though rarely
voiced in public journals. 1t strikes
terror to the hearts of assassins and
cut-throats; and it is fact which
reflection will substantiate, that
cases are rare, indeed, where man
is lynched, when he did not pre-
eminently deserve his fate. This
being the case, could the best law in
the statutes have done more? 1t is
merely a question of means. 1t is
this feeling that absolute justice has
been done which relieves lynch ex-
ecutions of much of their horror and
causes them so frequently to be sp-
plauded.
The Tribune has had series of
mild articles on the subject of
lynching of late, which, of course
and as was right-were opposed to
such a custom. Butts this really the
Tribune view. When the sons
of Apostle C. C. Rich visited the
Tribune Office and warned the editor
to avoid future attacks on their
father in connection with the crime
of David Rich, that editor said if
Dave Rich were his brother, he
would ask the community to hang
him. He knew that Dave Rich was
not liable to capital punishment,
and that lynching in his case, in
stead of being a more expeditions
form of law, would be a brutal
murder, if his wish were carried
out; and yet he told those young
men that were Dave Rich his
brother he would ask the COM
munity to hang HMM other words,
he would have the community to be
guilty of murder just because his
passions were aroused.
