The work Of the mob at New Orleans,
as detailed by the dispatches, was simply
cold blooded butchery. Eleven Italians
we're slaughtered in broad day light.
Some Of them were doubtless ssssssins
and deserved death in a legal way, while
others were innocent, or comparatively
80. Certain lawless Italians had sssas-
sinated Chief Of Police Hennessy. They

and acquitted through the instrumental.
ity Of a purchased jury, as is stated.
The court had ordered a dismissal Of two
Of the men. Two or three others had not
yet been tried. But all Of them shared
the same fate. They were all either shot
or hanged by the mob. One o'Mslley, a
detective, had "6xed" the jury. The
citizens naturally became greatly exas-
perated and proceeded to summary ven
geance. But in our judgment there is

Nevertheless, the slaughter at New Or

The San francisco bulletin IN summing
MP the work Of the first two years OF the
Harrison administration credits il with
the admission OF six new States. The
Bulletin we'll knows that in stating this
IL wilfully falsiies the record. Two and
not six States have been admitted under
the Harrison administration. The two
Dakotas and Montana and Washington
became members Of the Union during the
last year Of Cleveland's administration.
1t is something singular that q Republic
can editor can seldom be found who has
any regard for the truth. Most Of them
seem to believe that politics is a game of
tricks and misrepresentation, and that
partisan success, no matter how attained,
is the sole thing to be considered. The
leaders everywhere are governed by sim.
liar motives. The result is already man.
ifest. The public conscience is blunted,
and there is no longer any moral respon-
sibility in political or official life. His.
tory is but repeating itself. Every at
tempt to establish and to maintain free
government since the world began has
persisted in the same way. There must
be integrity in politics or destruction will
ultimately overtake and destroy the Re-
public. The debauohing Of the suffrage
and the sale Of our high places to rich
men, without qualifications, are the first
p~remonitory symptoms of decay. 1t is
no justification to say that both parties
do IL. Two wrongs will not make one
right. Nor do both parties do it 10 the
same extent. Special interests have not
SO much to gain by Democratic success,
and hence the corruption fund is always
larger on the other side. But the Bulle.
tin should have more respect for the in
telligence Of it's readers than to lay be-
fore them such q palpable fslsehood as
was contained in the article in question.
The great mass Of people are thoughtless
and accept without reflection as truth
anything they may see in q favorite

like that Of the Bulletin are hurtfnl. II

ONE ACT TO IFS CREDIT.

The Australian ballot law has passed
the Legislature. This is one act of that
body that may be placed to its credit.
1t is the only thing that has been done
in the direction OF honesty and decency
during the session. The bill ran q Curl
GUS history. There was IN evident in
tention to smother and defeat it. The
bosses were opposed to it, but finally be-
coming alarmed through having ignored
the people all Winter. they caused il to
be passed. The present Legislature 10

We have not read the new election law
and do not know all of its provisions.
But if il contains the best features of the
Australian system it will do. We hope
it will prove effective in putting a stop
to the infamous traffic in vote buying
which has SO long disgraced our State.
We don't care which party gets the Of
fees, so we have honest and decent meth
DDS in our elections. The thanks Of the
people are due to the bosses for allowing
the Legislature to pass this new election
bill. Such of the members as voted for
it, in spite of the bosses, are also to be
thanked.

ELECTION OF GEN. PALMER.

1t is gratifying that General Palmer
has finally been elected United States
Senator from Illinois. It has been n
Of the longest struggles in modern times.
General Palmer is an able and honest
man. His record, both public and pri-
vate, is purity itself. He is said to be
one of the most fascinating orators in
America. By his election we gain one
vote for silver. That should cause re.
joicing in all Of the mining States. Two
years later we will gain another Demo-
cratic Senator from Illinois, adding still
another vote to the silver column. And
further than ell this, General Palmer
now becomes q most likely Presidential
possibility. He is strong with the people
and halls from the right section. His ad'
vanced age may be against him. although
he is said to be hale and vigorous. We
have seen ID stated that he is father Of
twenty-one children. A multiplier and

The Salt Lake Stock Exchange Jour-

free coinage of silver is a dead issue, are
sleeping over a nina that will explode

the party. The fact is that both of the

pose to have a whirl in legislation, and
intend to relegate to the rear all the old

Palmer before they concluded to
throw the decisive votes which made
him United States Senator from Hi
nois. When the conference was

to buy his way to Washington by
deal and bargains. The General, who
is seventy-five years old, but still hale
and hearty, replied, 81 do not mean
