tons are nowhere in the territory more
plainly manifested than in Summit
county-s'the first and only thoroughly
Liberal county in Utah.
We may look for terrible scoring of
the Record from the Liberal organ OF this
city, which cannot brook the idea CT any
secession from the ranks over which it
holds the party LASH The very mention
of changed conditions acts on it like g
powerful emetic and fills it as much with
rage as with nausea.
The following paragraph is so pointed
on this important question that we clip
it as straw which shows which way the
wind Is blowing:
The situation has been carefully can
vassed and the shrewdest political leaders
are forced TO admit that as winning
party the Liberals are fast losing ground
and that a new tack must be adopted to
keep the county from drifting back into
Mormon hands, for it is that element
which gives the Democrats their prestige.
Should the day again come when fragrant
acts can be traced to the Mormon priest
hood, Summit will be the first to fall into
line under the old banner and cast her
solid strength for the cause OF right, but
until that time comes it will be impossi
bic, we think, to again unite the party
and make winning fight.

In League with Crooks.

Reports from Chicago to the effect that
certain detectives are in league with
''crooks" is not very assuring to the
public and especially to visitors at the
Worlds Fair. But the chief of police
and the inspectors appear to be determined
to follow up the information they have
received and cleanse the force of all such
disreputable characters.
Ii confidence men known to the officers
are permitted to ningle with the people
who visit the great exposition and to
avail themselves of its opportunities to
get in their nefarious work, the effect will
be very bad and Chicago will receive a
terrible black eye. 1t was to be expected
that such birds OF prey would flock to the
fair and look for chances to take ad
vantage OF the innocent, but not that the
very officers appointed to protect the I'M
sophisticated and arrest the criminals,
would join with the crafty crooks for a
share of their ill-gotten gains.
The complaints made against certain
detectives in the Hyde Park district are
to the effect that they have made appoint
ments to meet known confidence men,
permitted them to work among the
throngs of people on the Worlds Fair
grounds, and received brides from them.
Also that they have arrested innocent
men on trumped up charges, to make
show of diligence or extort money from
their victims. Such conduct calls for
more than ordinary punishment il the
charges prove to be true.
There should be full and complete in
vestigation of the matter. Rumors will
not do. On good evidence against the
officers, dismissal will not be enough.
They ought to be prosecuted. Ii there is
sufficient evidence to found a strong pre-
sumption of their guilt their case should
go to the grand jury and the law should
receive full vindication.
Everybody attending the great exposi
ton should beware of consorting with
strangers and accepting invitations from
persons affecting suspicious hospitality.
Chicago cannot help the unusual influx
of thieves and swindlers, but her police
authorities can exercise extraordinary
vigilance and make it exceedingly I'M
pleasant for criminals caught, and more
particularly their own officers who con-
spire for the fleeing of the public.
