1ng the late trials as if they cursed the
protecting act that disqualified them
from becoming subject to an open
venire.
If ANY one doubts that the prosecu-
ton IN the recent trials has been con-
ducted with yindictiveness, he should
have been present at the recent Con
nelly trial and heard the questions, as /
vel as the manner of asking them, put
Ey Mr. Rarian to MeSSrS. WOodman and /
Loder-two of the gentlemen who were
so blackguarded by the filthy Tribune
FOR giving a verdict according to their
convictions in the Clawson case. Mr..
RarIan resented Mr. Benefits imputa
65on only a few days before that non I
BOrmOnS were influenced by that sheet /
but he himself showed as complete
falling into line with its infamous OPT !
mons, as the most sulphurOus, brim-
Stone-emitting MOrmOn-eater Mr.. Ben
NETT could have had in his mind.
TIE WONDERFUL unanimity of feeling
which prevails in the mutual breasts of
Utah7s Chief Justice and her United
States Attorney, is more suggestive of
the Aillennial reign of universal
brotherhood than any one symptom
that has lately come under our notice.

Instance since they began drawing their
salaries and dealing out personal
opinions, cut on the bias, in the Third
Judicial District of this Territory, then

AT THE close of the Clawson trial,
when the jury brought in the verdict of
guilty, one of our Federal officials,
man very fond of display and bombast
was SO delighted with the result that
he was unable to control himself, and
with a broad grin and hearty chuckle
ne remarked to one of his associates: Il
guess there is some law after all, isn't
there ?" We don't know how he felt or
what he said after the humiliating col
lapse of the Connolly trial, but we
would advise him to wait until such
ALTERS are finally passed upon by the
Supreme Court, where, from all present
appearances, some one else will have it

after all
THE POLITICAL agitation, which is
creating so much excitement east,
though it affects US but very little here,
had SO far aroused the members of the
Uuiyersity's two debating clubs, the
4
resolved to meet in friendly debate one
evening last week and discuss the prin-
.clpieS OF the two great political parties
nov In existence, as set forth in their
platforms The debate was not con-
fiRed, however, to the platforms alone
bHt also to the actual principles of each
party as exhibited III their public do
1ngs- After the question had been ably
handled by both sides, before a large
and interested audience, the judges
gave their decision in favor of the
Democrats. This shows which way
education will incline the young poll
tician TO take.
TIE LENGTHY report which appeared
Ia our columns the other day purport-
ing TO give particulars of the magnif
-cezt usoeption rendered Blaine in New
York city by ministers of the gospel,
even if we admit its truth, shows none
the less the low political trickery to
which the present Republican candi-
date is capable of resOrting in order to
gain his point. His conduct reminds us
very much of that of the dealer or pub
lie trader ia patent medicines, especially
these for private diseases, and if the
country should be so unfortunate as to
choose him for President for the ensuing
four years, we viii doubtless be made
very. sensible of the comparison when
bis medicines get time to work He has
exhibited himself like the long-haired
chRrlatan who claims to cure cOrns in
simultaneously, whose panacea stops all
pains, or whose stomach pad makes
new man of you. But as the limited
time will not enable him to reach all
Ilarts of the land, he must have this tes-
Gimonial signed by the Rev Mr. Soandso
and others in order to dupe the ignorant
and Unsuspecting as to his high merits,
and thus TO secure their votes in his
FAVOR.
TIE wIzARD-LGKE methods of legal
iegerdemain employed by Attorney
+ Dickson, to get matters before the jury
/ which by ordinary rules of evidence and
IN any other court under heaven but the
one where he sits as prime minister,
would have even less chance of being
admitted than Captain Smith has of
setting into Congress, would be
vastly amusing were they not even
