piled by man with less popularity and
more judgment.
There is che incident connected with
this affair that is. really funny and
ought not to pass rnnoticed Sand
wftched in between two special dis
patches to the Tribune on Saturday,
is a bit of porky inpudence that needs
no condi1nent to give 1t relish. 1t
arrogates to the editor Of that paper
the entire credit of the removal of the
Utes, Oblivious to the fact that each
of the specials which form the bread
to the sandwich prove the untruth Of
that which is slipped in between them,
1T is stated that General McCook was
moved to send Colonel Lawton to
Monticello, not by any response to fsre-
peated kilograms" from the Governor
of Utah, nor in obedience to orders
from the Secretary of the Interior
through the War department, not by
sense of duty stirred up from authority
which he had no right to dispute. but
by the personal request of private
citizen, whose single letter asking the
General to move was more powerful
than either civil or military directions.
Claim everything is a Republican
motto and seems to be carried into
other affairs as well as those political.
AS a. piece of impertinent assurance
that claim stands out in ridiculous re-
lief. And what "a. libel it is upon Cen
eral McCoozl It places him in the po-
sition OF being stone deaf to repeated
official communications, and ready to
jump when a personal friend, without
authority, pulled a single string. In
the effort to initiate the editor it shrinks
the soldier. To manufacture a mighty
man out of the former. it makes a
mouse out of the latter. 1t is a. slur
on General McCook and a cheap puff
of Mr.. Goodwin
The settlement of the question, so far
as it has been affected, was accom-
plished by the territorial and national
authorities. General McCook acted un-
der orders from Washington. Governor
West and Delegate Rawlins pressed
the matter on the War and Interior de-
partments until it was made clear that
they had made no mistake. AS soon as
it was undoubted that their representa-
tons were correct, action was officially
taken and General McCook performed
his duty.
The Salt Lake press. without excep-
ton, did all that was possible to place
the facts before the country. Each pa
per is entitled to its share of credit.
Those gentlemen who, like. the editor
of the Tribune, used their personal in
1uence. in the right direction, are TO be
commended. None should lose his
need of credit, no one should gobble
all the praise. If the unpleasant af-
fair in San Juan is ended we may all
be joyful. But there remains the ques-
ton of what shall be done to Day and
what shall be the fate of the poor wan
dering wards of the nation?''

THE BLOT ON TENNESSEE.

! In the latter part of August Their &C.
Cured in Tennessee a particularly out
rageous lynching. Six negroes in the
custody of officers of the law were ta-
ken from them and murdered in cold
l!blood. 1t afterward developed that the
whole affair was prearranged. The
comments Of the press and the indigna-
ton of the country stirred up the Ten
nessee officials and they declared that
| the majesty of the law must be vindi-
Gated. And now this vindication has
come, come in way that will leave a
blot upon Tennessee.
Some of the men implicated were in
dicted and brought to trial. Two of
them, Richardson and Smith, have Just
been tried and acquitted. They have
been 'vindieated" by a jury of their
peers, and this jury seems to have been
the peers of the men charged with the
lynching of the six negroes, in every re-
spect. The court and its officers are
not to be blamed for this seeming mis-
carriage of justice, provided they did
their duty, as it must be presumed they
did, and the trial was not mere hol-
low mockery to placate public opinion.
Whatever the cause for this acquitta1,
the fact remains that six men, while in
the custody of the officers, were muir
dered. 1t makes no difference whether
they were white or black, nor with
what crime they were charged, in the
eyes of the law they were innocent I'm
til proven guilty. From the very mo-
ment of their apprehension there was
never any doubt for a single instant of
their conviction before a jury, if there
was any evidence whatever against
them. The presumption was that they
were innocent; the prejudice against
their class in the south was sufficient
guarantee that the presumption of in
nocence would carry none too great
weight in their favor But they were
not allowed to have the benefit of a tri-
al, even under these circumstances
The spirit of barbarism, more or less
dominant then, must have its desire for
blood and vengeance gratified, not its
longing for justice.
The lynching was a great disgrace;
the farcical nature of the trial of the
accused and their acquittal is a blot
upon Tennessee. The verdicts of juries,
as a rule, reflect public opinion better
than anything else. and public opinion
in that district of Tennessee, where
where this lynching occurred, has justi-
fed it.
In communities where such things can
happen, there is a disregard and con-
empt of law that tells of a low plane
of civilization, and all the citizens of
the state must bear their share of the
ignominy that attends such condition
of things.

Should make him the prime minister
Il not the King Of hearts. And these
stories are SO new, 50 pure and SO IN
teresting that they are q source of
delight, unalloyed with any harm, to
all children. Kipling has done and is
doing for the animals of India what
Harris has done for those of America.
In his Little Mr.. Thinablehnger
stories the. author OF Uncle Remus''
has struck d new vein, and one that
Is rich beyond all anticipation. He
has made fairies live in the nineteenth
century They are as full of life and
immortality as those Of Shakespeare.
Better fiction for the amusement
and instruction of the minds of young
children could scarcely be imagined
than the stories. written by Harris
and Kipling. They have in them
those elements that eventually crystal
ize into classics, and as time goes on
they will no doubt be recognized as
such. There is nothing morbid about
them. but, on the contrary, they are
heaithful in every respect. Parents
may safely put them into the hands
Of their children.

CHILDREN's READING. .

1t has always been a, question what
books should be put into the hands
of children and what not. Each gen
Grafton will have to decide for itself
and as the standard of today is not
that of yesterday, so that of today
will not be that of tomorrow. Most
children are extremely imaginative
and stories written recognizing this
fact will always have a preference.
The stories of Hans Christian Ander-
son and the tales of Grimm will ever
be classics. So, too, will be the
Arabian Nights those stories OF
perennial delight and to which one
can turn at all periods of life and find
pleasure and entertainment. Along
side these should be placed Haw-
thorne's Wonder Book" and "Tangle-
wood Tales" The literature for chill
dren will continue to grow, but such
as these viii never be superseded.
But there is another field which has
not been touched by the writers above
named-the animal kingdom. Ever
since cid Esop wrote his fables and
made the beasts of the field to talk,
animals, and particularly talking ami
mails, have had a great interest for
mankind. But Esop made them the
means through which to point moral
rather than a means with which to
adorn a tale. Two writer's of today
one an American, the other an Anglo
Indian at present domiciled in the
United States-flave made of animals
most fascinating stories. The one is
Joel Chandler Harris; the other Rud-
yard Kipling. Harris has endowed

1t is said that Voorhees, has a griev-

he has not been treated in good faith.
He says he championed the repeal of

that the administration would itself

such concessions to the silver element
of the Democratic party as would sat-

It is not very decent in those public
journals which do not like Mr.. Cleve-

and figuring how much fat around his
heart it will take to choke the life out
of him. II is probable that with all the
wishes that are the begetters of their
thoughts, he will fill his fun term and
retire with the honors that belong to
an honest and faithful public servant,

Henoeforth the football players will
be able to cite the Greeks as authority
for the present rough style of playing
the game Sir Edward Trelawny says
that the Greek game of football was
exactly what football is today He has
fond a report Of a game in which
mention is made of the fact that Half
Back Xerxes was kicked under the
epizlattis and Full Back Dionysius had
his collar bone broken in a rough
tackle. Such facts as these afford an
explanation of the early decline Of the
Greeks and why they never became a
thoroughly united people. Football
created too many local jealousies.

working people of the country can only
be made to thoroughly understand that
the silver issue is of a more vital and
fundamental character than any and all
other issues, the day of its triumph can
not long be postponed. Surely the work
