The Position OF the Free Press with Re-
spect 10 Newspaper Ventures

| NJ Sdu uhftOss
We believe il 10 be Sin order" thai
we should ''rise and explain as 10 the
above subject Some seem TO believe
that We are inveterately hostile TO the
starting OF anotherpaper at this place
while others, who know better, pre-
tend 10 believe 10 in order 10 create
prejudice against us. The fact is
there is no truth in the superstition
IL is true. rs We have often said,
and in which We have been backed
up by the oldest and best newspaper
editors and publishers OF the State
that there il reallyno field for Il third
newspaper in this county. That
while such counties as Bastrop, Colo
RADIO, Gonzales, Guadalupe, ETC., only
have one paper, it is folly to suppose
that three can prosper in the much
less populous and wealthy county OF
Hays. 1t is true they may manage
to live, for even Blanco county pre-
seuts the ridiculous spectacle of three
papers where one would surely amply
suffice. And inasmuch as there is no
law to prevent people from fooling
away their time, this being "a free
country" of course all who choose
NAV continue to exhibit themselves
in this way, if they see proper
While we have nothing to take
back on this subject, however, we
recognize the right of others to differ
with us, and to start as many papers
in San Marcos as to them may seem
advisable.
We suppose the notion that we were
hostile to the idea of another paper
may have grown out of the "dress-
ing" we several months ago admin
istered to Mr.. w. Goodrich Jones
But it was not because he proposed
to start o paper in business way
that we pat him through a 'course OF
sprouts" but because of his illegitl'
mate style of action. He first pub,
lished widely, throughout the State
that the FREE Press had been weigh
cd and found wanting. This for al
upstart of his mental caliber was bad
enough, but he,reputedto be backed up
up by considerable wealth, proceeded
to seek to start another paper by dona
tons, which was still worse; 80 that we
believe the general verdict rs to our
"treatmcnt" of Mr.JOues, was, "served
him right.
AS to the paper Just started by Mr..
C. NJ. Hull, the "Cressei, we regard
it rs IA strictly Legitimate enterprise
and have nothing to object to it. On
the contrary, as we have had occasion
TO remark before, if he shall succeed
in demonstrating that two newspa-
pers can live and prosper in this
place, we shall simply be very agree
ably disappointed. We have nothing
again st Mr.. Hull personally,and hope
our relations may be friendly and
agreeable. At the same time, we
shall not hesitate to criticise his pa
per freely, us has always been our
wont; and since he claims to be an
old newspaper man, and familiar
with the customs of the craft, we
shall rely on his good sense, not
therefore to conclude we are his enc
my.and take offense. In short, while
we may sometimes seem severe, we
shall not transcend parliamentary
usage among editors, lawyers and
stump-speakers,all of whom as every
body knows, often castigate ono an
other professionally, while remaining
on friendly terms personally.

FROM OUT OF THE DEPTHS.
Aurelius Miner Bobs Up Serenely
and is Nabbed by the Deputy.

Last evening about half-past s o'clock,
U. S. Marshal Ireland, with three we'll
trained deputies, who can scent an unlaw-
full cohab and track one of them to New
Orleans and back if necessary, repaired
to the residence of Miss Adams, on West
Temple street, north of City Creek. and
caught the long-lost Miner. On reaching
the home of Aurelius Miners alleged
wife, Deputy Sprague was sent to the
back of the house while the others re-
manned stationed in view of all escapes,
including the underground.
Miss Adams politely informed Marshal
Ireland that the object of their search
was not in, but the Marshal thought
differently. At this moment Deputy
Sprague ran up against the coveted prize
and put him under arrest. Miner well
coined the officers with all manner of
courtesy, said he was about to come down
to the Court and fix things up all salts
factory, and would do so on Saturday.
Marshal Ireland thought, as the
night was pleasant and walking good,
he might just as we'll 90 then as
to delay any longer, and he went. While
Clerk Mcmillan was preparing the bonds,
signed by VIM. McIntire and Frank
Hyde for 81 900, Mr.. Miner entertained
all present with an account of his trip,
and seemed as much at ease as though
transacting some mutual land office bust
ness. 1t is thought he has wintered in
the Seventeenth Ward.

THE WOOD RIVER STRIKE.
The tsFimes'' Sums Up the Affair in
About the Right Manner.

The Miners Unions have concluded to
publish their resolution of accepting
$3.50. We are glad to see them come
back to their senses, but regret the fact
that so many able men should have lin
gered four months in a torpid state of
silly opposition to their own good. They
were expected to understand from the
outset that that the prosperity of this
country is identical with that of its mines,
and that any stoppage of work in the
mines must result to the disadvantage of
the miners. But MANY of the latter were
the ill-advised tools of few demagogues,
and even if they could see the evil conse-
quence of their course, they were
bound to follow it. Well, the out
come is what every man of sense
and cool judgment foretold, that far
from lettering their condition, the strik-
ers have made it worse. They lost the
wages of four months; they drained the
country all around for contributions, and
proved that in free country what can
not be got in accordance with the law is
not worth getting by mere force. Now,
as the matter stands, we hope the court
will find no difficulty in dismissing the
several cases that have arisen out of the
dead strike, as we see no earthly use in
still increasing the burden OF the tax
payers, which has already been made
very heavy by that piece of folly. The
county Indebtedness doubtless exceeds
100000 by this time, and if it increases
much more property will not be worth
having

A Social Coterie to ''Climbthe Noun
tafns High.r

There has been lately formed local or
ganization known as the Cliff and Canyon
Club. As set forth in the constitution
the object OF the club is to promote vari-
Gus healthful and outdoor sports, the
chief OF which will be pedestrianism.
During the heated summer months the

interest throughout the Territory, walk

is to combine healthful exercises with
solid enjoyment. The club have a neat

felt hats, and will be provided with alpen-
stocks. The suits are SO designed as to
admit of free movements and do away
with injurious pressure. The members
of the organization anticipate pleasant
and profitable time during the coming
season.

Aimee In HThe Divorce Bill"

Sardou's comedy of "Divorcans" is one
in which Aimee has made a hit The
play, of course, treats of divorce question,
Madame Cyprienne, Mile Aimee, and her
husband, Des PrunelIeS, J. o. Barrows,
agree to separate because she has tired
of him, and he is willing because he
thinks it will win her back to him, which
it does in the last act. The play abounds
in French wit, such as can only be brought
out by Sardou. There can not be with
held an intellectual admiration for the
cleverness and brilliancy of the dialogue
and the dash and animation of the action.
The dialogue that is most reprehensible
sparkles with bright ideas, genuine wit,
and most adroit play of sentiment and
emotions.

Mr.. Jack Gilmer Seriously Ill.

Less than week ago, Mr.. Jack Gilmer,
the well-known stage line man and mine
owner, returned to Salt Lake from his
mines in Idaho, suffering from an attack
of erysipelas. DIR. Anderson was called
and attended Mr. Gilmer until last night,
when DR.. Hamilton was summoned in
consultation. The disease is seated in
the left side OF the face, and yesterday
fears of its extending were apprehended.
Mr.. Gilmer is delirious the greater por-
ton of the time, though the attending
physicians feel confident and hopeful of
good results. The disease was undoubt-
edly brought on by a contracted cold from
being dumped into the river, followed
by exposure and fatigue in retiring to
comfortable quarters. 1t is hoped that
Mr.. Gilmer will soon recover.

lengthy arguments on both sides az the

you own?
Mr.. Klipple-I own twenty fours hares.
l wondered at not being asked about the
matter, and at one time partly made up
my mind to speak of it, but being sworn
in before had time, and not thinking II
of any importance in my rendering an

the mine since its location amounts to
upwards OF $3.50, 900. Several thousand
dollars worth of ore have been marketed,
and work is now being pushed on the
mine. 1t is stated that everything ever
produced in Park City on that side OF the
hill has been good silver-lead ore.
The mine was incorporated with 1000
shares, at the par value of SO share.
