The alder, abettor, apologist anl

placed this unworthy demagogue in
the Senate by the betrayed county
which elected him, in the crawl.
ing subserviency of q slavish spirit
accuses the Salt Lake Tribune oil
being the enemy of Dubois. The
Tribune lacked the manliness and
nerve to espouse the cause Of
either, but by indirect attacks on
Logan aided the shyster more than
all the profound, merry meander-
ings of the would-be sage of Boise.
"When rogues fight, honest men

But little dogs shouldn't bite big

the name is meant to describe q
principle or quality let the name of
this ragbag shop of unthinking IL
logicality be changed to that OF

pen and take up the scissors, for
even the triumvirate board of une-
qualization ought to beat it oyer
the head for injurious advocacy.
Let the dead carcass lie; stirring

Time is when if q mans con-

A Huntington buys a tinsel prince

Almighty Jove don't strike them
all or being liberal, like Artemus
Ward with his wife's relations, offers
the national treasury to the grangers
a la Stanford, with his starboard eye
on the Presidency and his larboard
one on Chauncy Depew's cynosure,
who has tramped through a grave
yard, that railroad villainy has filled
with suicides; waded through wild
ows' tears, cheered by the wan smiles
of starving babies; built prisons to
pen the criminals his infamous ex-
ample and robberies have made,
and at last, having "got there" sets
himself up as shining example of
propriety that the young should
look up to, forgetting in the vanity
of having got there, that the glare
in the eyes mirrors the hell their
selfishness has made on earth, and
the hell which should be their abid-
ing place hereafter. And these are
the men who in this museum Of
shame, lift curtains that hide Off
Gals ticketed "for SALE" and pay
their price in a free pass or perhaps
a 5000 note for a greater million
steal Their virtue for the hundredth
time, like a poor cyprian's with
tawdry clothes on, sold to the tune
of the son-of-a-gun from Bingham.
Dear Bingham spoiled the fun.
Shades of Oaks Ames, of Shep-
pard and of Tweed
The glory of Credit Mobilier, of
Finance and Construction, has de-
parted. All hail to Buckley and the
American colony at Montreal, hail
to the board of unequalization, who
value the poverty stricken and rag
ged shepherds sheep at a dollar
more than their actual worth and
reduce the assessments on railroads
not assessed at the price of the iron,
and which demand the right to col
lect interest on $4,000 per mile,
$4,000 of which is water, to per-
petuate robbery and forever grind
the people under the heel of the
merciless colossus that overrides
the government, buys Senators as
cattle are bought, and who, under
Depew, Stanford and others of their
ilk, have their weather eye on the
time when the republic will be sold
by pretorean guard of office hold
ers, as the Roman empire was, to
the highest bidder for cash.
"Saladin" predicts that if Dubois
holds his seat no vote of his will
ever rectify a railroad wrong, but
that he will follow in the footsteps
of Bill Stewart, blacking the boots
of the railroad robbers until no
longer useful, he is relegated back
to driving bulls, for which he is best
fitted by nature.
IT'S the halo of loot gives me mystical
And coming events cast their shadows
before. SALADIN.
