GREETED, be said, that lynching should
have occurred in salt Lake city, but he
seems to rank it with ordinary lynchings

this point we have somewhat to say.
There is a difference between what is

Yes, one lynching occurred in a

vast difference, you know.
The acts of the Salt Lake police, last
Saturday, were an unprecedented in
fanny. And it is why Mayor Jennings
should have suspended at once every one
who was charged By responsible eye. wit
nesses with such terrible and dangerous
breach of trust, pending an investigation

such charges. That he has not done so
ard does not, simply shows that he has
no proper conception Of the majesty and
dignity Of the law. Tribune.
Yes, Of course, the Mayor should
have suspended every one of the
police and left the city without any
protection, simply because the
Tribune thought he should; every
thing should be turned upside down
and the entire municipality should
be at the beck and call of a few hot
headed, rascally adventures, be,
cause the Tribune says so. That
libel on decent and respectable
journalism must be obeyed, no mat
ter the cost, and anybody who
objects to its rabld mouthings is Of
necessity "a dirty polyg." or "a jib-
beriDg idiot"
It is not because the Mayor and pol
ice are Mormons that we say these things.
We should feel hundred. times more
the duty of saying them were they Cen
tiles instead of Mormons. And whatever
may be thought or said about it, We have
yet to allude TO this painful subject with
the desire TO make capital out of it
against the Mormons. We speak, and
have spoken, either in praise or blame, in
behalf Of broader and higher view Of
the Office and authority Of law, point to
which most of the comments of The
Tribune on affairs IN Utah from day to
day and from year toyear, are directed.
