THE GREAT STRIKE.

Since our last publication, the great
strike seems to have received its
quietus, although it be but for time,
in all probability. The places vacated
by the strikers have been filled to con-
siderable degree by other men, aud
although many of the roads are still
badly crippled in regard to moving
freight trains, business has been re-
sumed to the extent of relieving the
congestion that has prevailed.
Debs has sent out ''orgauizers" in
the West to rally the men and keep
up the strike, but even in Sacramento

usual. The leaders of the strike 10

1t is estimated that the loss to rail-
roads is about eight million dollars.
The loss to trade otherwise is incalcu-
liable. The cost to the government Of
moving troops and their pay. is said to
be million dollars. Lawlessness con-
tinues in some sections Of the North
west, and spasmodic acts of violence
occur from day to-day, but it is !evideut
that the outbreak has been temporarily
put down by the strong arm of the
military. Seventeen men have met
their death by violence during the trou-

and The Grand Jury, because of the cost
to the county Of $54 for its Grand Jury
to save $3.50 that the Herald was
about to get without giving "value
received"
The fact that the Herald admits the
Justice of the reduction and accepted
the payment Of the bill less the $3.50
refates the imputation Of ''Senseless
Investigation" If the bill was un-
just to the amount Of only one dollar,
the principle involved is the same.
That the bill was unjust the Herald
has not dispu.ed-on the contrary
its proprietors accepted the reduction
With no other protest than the attempt
to ridicule the Grand Jury ou the score
of false economy. [. has thus added
insult to injury Its greed is equalled
by its impertineDce.
The proprietor Of the Watchnaam and
Southyom and Mr.. Miller, of the
Freeman, did, together, for their own
information, 60 over the report as
published by the Herald, and as has
been stated in these columns, they esti-
mated the amount of ''stufiOg" to be
considerably more. Mr.. Flowers es'i-
mate was made under instruction Oh q
different basis, and it is fact that
somehow or other one sheet of the
report (the last one) was not measured
by him at all, which gave the Herald
the benefit of several dollars more than
it would have received if all had been
measured out.
In the face of these facts, then, the
remarks of the Herald do seem to be
in bad taste. While individuals may
conduct their business On the plan
indicated by the Herald. and submit to
a wrong rather than 60 to Law at a
greater cost than the amouot involved,
officials charged with the conduct Of
county affairs have no right to do so.

FIGHTING s1oaoPoLY.

The people of Utah have very recently
had an object lesson in the method and
aims of monopolies This object lesson
was furnished by the Sugar trust max
ing an attack on the Lehi sugar fac
tory. When It became evident that q
vicious attack on our hoHia institution
was to be made because it was a home
institution and not under trust control.
the press, regardless of politics, urged
the people to stand by the Lehi factory
and support a home institution. The
appeal OF the press was not In vain,
and so thoroughly reused had the peo-

a TYPICAL BOND ISSUE CASE.


A bond issue to replenish the gold
reserve in the treasury is at best but
makeshift. Those who have not
favored it as not meeting the exigencies
of the case have repeatedly pointed out
that the gold already in the treasury
could. and probably would. be drawn
upon to buy the very bonds that were
to be sold to replenish that already de
pleated stock. That which was fore
seen has happened.
in the New York Times Of Monday
last is an article complaining of this
very thing Some of the Boston banks
drew upon the treasury for the very
gold that the treasury wanted. Thit
leads the Times to ask: But can they
do it without twinge OF conscience?
Can they do it without a blush of
shame?"
1t seems that they can, as only last
Friday the Shawmut Avenue National
bank of Boston drew six hundred thous-
and dollars from the treasury. The
Times does not approve of this and
brings lofty sentiment into a strictly
cold blooded business matter. 1t asks:
do its officers feel that they are do
ing a high-minded and patriotic thing
in taking from the government with
one hand the gold they must pay to it
with the other for the new bonds they
buy?"
The Shawmut bank officials are not
buying bonds from the government for
their health" so probably they never
once gave a thought to the question Of
the high-mindedness or patriotic part
of the transaction. They had been seek
ing safe and profitable investment for
idle funds. and they found it in the
purchase of government bonds, over the
issue of which they had no control
whatever.
The Times, which indorses the bond
issue, says ''the Shawmut Avenue
bank Subscription to the loan will not
put one additional gold dollar into the
treasury
Certainly it will not. This very case
of the Shawmut avenue bank shows
what makeshift the bond issue is.
This contingency must, or at least
should. have been seen by the treasury
officials. They should have relied Who'll
ly and solely upon business principles,

THE BROWN LIBEL SUIT.

The Herald has refrained from COM
ments on the libel suit instituted by
Attorney Arthur Brown against the Salt
Lake Tribune. during the conduct of the
case. for obvious reasons. Now we feel
at liberty to say that the evidence was
clear, the arguments for the plaintiff
able, the defense brilliant in respect of
language but weak as to law and logic.
the summing up cogent and concise.
and the verdict right in principle though
somewhat feeble as to damages.
One thing was made forcibly apparent
in the trial. The lash of the libellous
Tribune has lost its sting; the domina-
ton of that concern over courts and
juries has departed; fear of its abuse.
dread of its personalities, care for its
criticisms have fed, and its whilom
reign of terror is fully at an end
The libel against Arthur Brown was
not the result of error as to fact or mis-
take through inadvertance. Haste and
a bad PEN figured in the original
charges but malice and desire to
slash were behind the whole attack.
local and editorial. Nothing could be
more cowardly than the assaults of a
personal character which have been
made by the assassins of the quill who
have lurked behind the power press of
that concern, TO level their inky darts
of SANDER at the living marked as their
prey. and the dead who could not re-
taliate. When proven to be in the
wrong their pretence at apology has
usually been but a repetition of their
venomous abuse.
In the Brown case the jury evidently
compromised as to the amount of dam
ages. The sum of $1,000 is not much
under the circumstances, but is suf-
ficient for the purpose in view. that is
the vindication of Mr.. Brown and
notice that juries will not condone
groundless attacks on citizens through
the public prints. tt is warning to
the press to be careful of utterances
personal character, and to
cease the injection of spite against in
dividuals, official or otherwise
Every newspaper is liable to make
and to give offence. When
neither is intended, when it is evident
that there is no malice or design to
