DO THE PEOPLE WANT IT.

The bill that passed the House on
Monday for the organization of Car
bon county out of a. portion of Emery
county. may be d wise proceeding in
the main. but we are doubtful in re-
gard to that. and more than doubtful
about one feature of the bill
Emery county is neither so large nor
50 populous that division is neces-
sity. The revenue coming from the
railroad is needed as much by the por-
ton OF the county lying south of it as
any other part. And the settlements
there We're built by the people who
made possible the villages and towns
in other districts in the county.
We think the people of the whole
county should have a chance to be
heard before final action is taken on
this measure. We are of the opinion
that it is promoted chiefly by specu-
lators and ambitious persons, and that
the great body of the people have not
been consulted. If that is so, now is
the time for those who dissent TO for
ward their protests to the Legislature
We are strengthened in this view by
the provision in the first section of the
bill that the county seat OF the pro
posed new county shall be at Price.
That is not by any means in or near
the centre of the settled area con-
tanned within the boundaries defined,
nor is it sufficiently populous to de-
mand that distinction.
There have been some Htigious and
dissatisfied spirits at Price who have
been wire working for some time 10
have the county seat Of Emery re-
moved from Castle Dale to their small
burg. Failing in that. this new move
ment has been started to capture the
prize. We think that if the people
want division they should have it. II
they want the county seat at Price
they should be accommodated. But
they should have chance to express
their wishes before the matter is de-
cided.
Why was the reasonable amendment
offered by MIR. Pigman, leaving the
. people in the new county to choose
their county seat voted down? It
would be much easier to let the peo-
pie decide on it in the first place, than
to remove it after it is fixed by the
Legislature. We hope the Council will
hold that bill until the people are
heard from And we are much mis-
taken if some lively protests are not
entered against the scheme.
The Herald has no interest at stake
in this affair It is only the interests OF
the whole body of the citizens OF
Emery county that it considers in
this connection Whatever suits them
will suit US. We have nothing per-
sonally against the division nor against
Price as the county seat, but let the
voice Of the people decide.

So much for these personal matters.
And now what has all that to do with
the right or the wrong Of the action of
the four Republican runaways in the
Utah Legislature? Can anybody see
the connection? What has the Tribune
done in their defense by all this person
al defamation of somebody else? Will
they appreciate it? We hope they are
not so low and so small as to relish the
miserable ISLANDERS their champion has
used in the place of argument in their
behalf
The Herald has gone out of its way to
touch these personal scandals, that it
may be seen there is nothing about
them to avoid. 1t is, however, con-
trary to our views of the functions of
journalism to devote space to them.
If the arguments of a paper cannot
be met, we do not agree with the Tri-
bune that the only way is to drag
out" the editor or supposed writer, go
at him" and make a personal assault
on him, for, in our opinion, that
amounts to- a tacit confession that
what he says is beyond refutation. The
Tribune has simply shown itself to be
precisely what it is.

Democratic voters could not be bought
Oh bullied in his interest.

OF bullied in his interest.
But there is another personal ref
erence which must be mentioned. The
Tribune quots from an obscure sheet
in Idaho the statement that just before
the Salt Lake City election in 1892. The
Herald said the indications favored
the reasonable certainty of the cleo
ton of Col. Lett" as Mayor, and the
day after stated there was not a Demo-
cratic voter who thought it possible
one of their candidates would be elect
ed" That is given by the Tribune
as further illustration of the kind of
a man c. w. Penrose is.
The Tribune always fails when it
gets down to particulars. Its forte is
to call names, attack people in general
terms. throw mud from behind 1.-The
impersonality of journalism and avoid
specifications. c. w. Penrose had moth
ing to do with The Salt Lake Herald
until nine months after the city cleo
ton of 1892 and was not responsible
for any of its utterances. We dc not
care to go back to find whether or not
the alleged remarks were made in this
paper. because that does not touch the
QUESTION, 1t only shows how anxious
tn Tribune is to malign an opponent
and tn what denths of dirt If will get
down to find filth to fling at him.

The Church lobby have been working
like beavers ever since their arrival,
assuring all doubling Thomases that
Utah's admission would certainly mean
two Republican Senators.
The Cheyenne special dispatches to
the Tribune stated that Bishop Pen
rose had been there two weeks, when
the abduction rubbish was manufac-
tured. The reliable specials of that
paper had c. w. Penrose in Washing
ton and Cheyenne at the same time,
and also under arrest at the latter
place when he was in Salt Lake City.
The specials of the Tribune are almost
as reliable(?) as its editorials.
The Republican Senator whose defeat,
according to the Tribune, was brought
about by the abduction or removal of
a state Senator through the conniv-
ance, cajolery bribery, or some occult
influence of the ubiquitous c. w. Pen
rose, was Senator Warren. John L.
Russell went to Cheyenne pledged to
the support of Mr.. Clark. He could
not be induced to vote for Warren,
either before his three days absence
from the legislature or after. He stood
by Clark. Hence the malevolenee of
the creatures who were in Warren's
service, and hence the stories that
have grown out of Russelrs absence
on a hurried visit to relatives, occas-
Toned by a. dispatch received in the
night too late for request for leave of
absence. which did not affect Warren
defeat in the smallest degree. Warren
never had the ghost Of a. show for re-
election, when it was found that three
