1t IS really desperate case when anews
paper whose policy is ostensibly the main
tenance of law and order in the community
has to resort to such desperate straits as
has our unexpected morning contempt
rary. With the hope of completely cap
turing the element which long ago silently
declared it's independence of the rule Or
ruin gang, and which has only been re-
strained from doing so openly land above
board because of the fear of a certain mer-
cenary and altogether dastardly influence
which the organic concern and its cohorts
WELD, it will even go so far as to advertise
itself as what has all along been the under
standing regarding it with the more repu-
table part of the community-as a common
and unrestrained liar, miserable hypo
critic and altogether disagreeable, rascally.
cowardly, wretched, ragged, useless, often
sive, polluted and hateful miscreant
Among the limited list of its supporters,
we question if there is a dozen who really
respect it or anybody belonging to it. How
can an impartial and really respectable
person do so? Being the organ of SANDER,
misrepresentation, unfairness and mis-
cellaneous deviltry, what is there to
either hold or attract the admiration of
anybody! OF course those who can use it
for speculative purposes, and those who
are afraid to not use it for the reason pre-
viously stated, will continue to "stand in"
and will take their medicine with about as
good grace as the urchin does when the
parental hand is upon his shoulder. They
make virtue of necessity and appear to
be pleased no matter how drastic and
nauseous the dose may be.
In its Issue of yesterday morning, the
hamstrung reptile tries to be facetious at
the expense of The HERALD because of an
article in our Thursday mornings issue
citing similar conditions as existing be-
tween Utah and Kentucky. There was
nothing in the article to call forth such an
ebullition of putrid and phlegmatic stuff as
emanated from the organ yesterday
morning; it only went to the extent
of showing how it is that
communities and peoples are often mis-
judged because of the acts of few and be-
cause of a certain valorous and determined
disposition to resist tyranny and encroach-
ments of an illegal character, pointing out
by name few of the great people which
that state had contributed to the grand
union family and implicitly desiring that
it might be so found hereafter, if it had not
already so been with Utah. This caused
the organ to mention the names of two
Kentuckians as being sans peur, against
whom, as it claims, THE HERALD has per-
sistently leveled its shafts. Very we'll
Whatever this paper has done in this direc-
ton has been well and properly done. 1t
defined MURRAY properly at very early
stage, and it has done the same by WEST.
Where has the former gone and what now
does he amount to, and where and what is
the latter! Truly, as the organic concern
says, CLAYs and BREoKINRIDGEs are scarce
in Utah, and the advent of MURRAY and
WEST did not make them any more hume
rous. Both have been drawn in by it and
disposed of forever; their career should be
held up rather as warning than an exam
