given in kindly way to the broker
staff of our decrepit morniSg con
temporary, the Tribune, was not re
eeiyed in that spirit which should
characterize Christian who is the re
cipient of such favors. But then it is
the natural petulancy of ill-health, and
We can well afford to overlook it.
The Tribune, however, is guilty of a
slight misstatement, strange as it may
seem, in saying that THE HERALD
thinks one of the editors of the Tribune
should be given leave OF absence and
granted rest in which to recuperate.'
We did not say that one of the
,ditors should be given a rest;
We said 1t of all of them, and
asked if Mr.. Mackay, the anxious
proprietor of the shaky concern, could
not be prevailed on to work it to that
issue. We will add that if the majority
of them were given permanent leave of
absence, it would do something towards
improving the tone of the paper,
though, nothing but absolute suspen-
sion, until "dead, dead, dead" would
completely cure the evil or satisfy So
ciety.
The writer who takes up our gauntlet
with such tired air is not the most OBJ
jectionable of the Tribune crew. We
admit that he is talented, and believe |
that the best and .cleanest things his |
paper contains, though like angels
visits, few and far between" are the
products of his pen. But he is in
bad company, and like poor dog
Tray must needs be beaten with
many stripes. We do not suppose that
he is the author of all the filthy and
brutal illusions that disgrace the edi-
torial columns of that sheet. but if he
does not create he tolerates them and
permits them to appear side by side
with his own articles, and must there
fore share in the odism which attaches
80 such things and the vile creatures
whose mental spawn they are.
But he goes On TO say: Nothing but
the necessities which force some men ,
to work and the hope of doing some
thing which shall finally make it clear
to the men of Utah that he came here
as a friend, and not an enemy, has
kept that editor at his post"
The first part of that sentence we be- !;
heve, for We know it must bean awful :
necessity which would compel some
men to work. particularly L born tired,
or prematurely worn out in "storming
the crags," and trying to make old
phrases ft new places, for which they
were never designed, or have been used,
like handsome Els get thar" anec-
dOte, several times too often. But as to
the hope of doing something that shall
make it clear that he came here, not for
said necessity" alone, but as g friend !
to anybody but himself and the little
ring Of sore-head agitators who have
ever been Utah's enemies. and are PROV
ing themselves such more and more
every day, it viii take something be :,
sides mere words, sweet Hamlet" to :
the men of Utah, or the wo- :.

OF your motive. :.

needed respite from toll and turmoil n
absolutely required by the present <

genius thar ever came out OF Nevada. II
