"a PETTY LOOK"

On Thursday the letter of the Ogden
Registrar to the Chairman of the Re-
publican committee asking if Republi-
can lawyers would contest the case of
women voting this fall, was denounced
by the Tribune as having "a petty
look" exciting the suspicion of dis
honorable play for party advantage
1t spoke also of "clap-trap accompani-
ments" and ''side-plays.'
The impression sought to be made
was that it was a scheme to array
strong Democratic lawyers on one
side and a 'body of Republican law
yers'' on the other. 1t was the ground
less suspicion of a mind that is al
ways thinking evil. There was no
truth in it.
On Friday, in local Tribune article,
the Chairman's remarks are quoted to
the effect that lawyers of both parties
will appear in the case on both sides
of the question. The gentleman said:
THE question raised is not partisan
one" Yet the Tribune does not cor
rect its charges of the day before, edi-
torially, but adds to its meanness by
this editorial remark:
The effort of the Democratic manag-
ers to conduct both sides of the case
for the testing of woman's legal right
to vote. while assigning nominal part
to the Republicans, is of the heather
Chinese order. childlike and bland.
1t is thus quite easy to get along
with ga contemporary that never states
a proposition fairly" Just state the
facts and then it's own irreconcileable
remarks and-.'there you are"
The case before Judge Smith at Og-
den will be fair test case argued by
eminent counsel of both political par
ties some of whom have appeared on
either side. And the courtesy and fair
ness of the Ogden Registrar are some
thing that our neighbors mind. always
full of vile suspicious, could NOT com
prehend. Now, which proceeding mSy
be justly characterized az having "a
petty look with .'side-plays" and
"clap-trap accomplishments"

STILL FLOUNDERING.

Some people and papers, when they
make a blunder, have grace enough
to acknowledge their error, and a few
of them have honor enough to seek TO
make amends if possible. Others who
will not confess, have sense enough
to be silent and cautious enough not
to repeat their mistake. We have a
contemporary that has neither hon
esty enough to confess nor gumption
enough to keep quiet.
After libeling Utah by stating,
without qualification, that 800 men
turn out to help the outlaws Cough
lin and George-and being brought
face to face with it's folly, it still en-
deavors at the same time to repeat
the falsehood and to deny that it
meant anything of the kind. Its
readers can see both statements in it's
issue of Friday. Here is what it
says in one editorial on that day:
Even if 500 people sympathized
with and helped the outlaws, we all
know that sort of people those 500
casts no reflection whatever on the
mass of $4,000 inhabitants.
And here is what it says in another
editorial in the same paper on the
same day:
The other morning the Tribune in
a jot said:
In Oklahoma, when a baIai of out
laws show up the whole country, 500
men, as is reported, turned out ITO
hunt them down. In Utah 800 turned
out to help the outlaws
This our morning contemporary
constructs and tries to construe as
meaning literally that 500 men turned
out to help the outlaws here.
Tries to construe" is good. We
quoted the Tribune verbatim, without
changing or adding a word. If it did
not mean what it said, why does it
repeat the statement? If it did mean
it, why attempt to dodge the conse-
quence? There were no 500 or 100 or
any number of men who turned out
TO help the outlaws" Yet we are told
now: I'VE all know what sort of
people those 500 are And that is an
other falsehood. We do not know
anything of the kind because there
were no such men. But we do know
what kind of a paper it is that uttered
the libel and how much confidence is to
be placed in anything it alleges ed
itOrially.

THE REPUBLICANS LESSON.

Ex-President Harrison was inter-
viewed the other day. He did not
have much to say, but he said one
very important thing. After saying
that he thought when the Republican
party returned to power it would re-
tain it for a long time, he remarked
The Republicans have had their les
son." Just what he meant by the re-
mark is hard to say. He says they
have had their lesson. What is it? 1t
will seem to the ordinary observer of
our politics that this lesson is con-
tanned in the tariff history of that
party. From the days of the war until
the passage of the Mckinley bill there
was a continual and steady increase of
idea Of the Republican party that this
government existed solely for the pur-
pose of protection. Everything was
made to bend to that. But at last the
protection got so big and burdensome
that the people could stand it no lon
ger. Then they repudiated it. That
they did, no one knows better than
Mr.. Harrison, and until he shall vouch-
safe an explanation Of what he means
by saying that the Republicans have
had their lesson" his remark will be
construed by the people to mean that
the Republicans carried the doctrine of
protection beyond the limit of endur-
ance and that they must not return
TO the evil OF their ways. Yes, the Re-
publicans have had their lesson. Will
they learn the morale

THE BEST DIPLOMACY.

I'm my opinion" said Ambassador
Bayard, the other day. ''the best di-
plomacy consists in perfect frankness,
and in preventing or removing mis-
understandings.
Ameri. an triumphs in diplomacy,
and thev have not. been inconsiderable,
have been won on this theory. 1t has
never been an accepted axiom of our
state department that an ambassador
was IAN honest man sent abroad to
lie for the good of his country Amer
lean diplomacy has not been conducted
on the lines pursued by Talleyrand.
And why should it be? If American
rights are infringed upon, why should
not the protest against the wrong and
the demand for reparation be set
forth in plain. honest. courteous Ian
guage? If we do a wrong, why not ac-
knowledge it in the same way and
make the same PREPARATION in such
cases that we demand? And SO in the
negotiation of treaties. One of the

THE CHINESE DIABoLIsM.

The savagery of the Chinese mobs
in slaughtering Christian missionaries
and wounding those that were not
slain who fell into the power of the
heather, is something horrifying TO
every civilized soul. It arouses the
strongest feelings of resentment and
provokes un-Christian expressions.
The remark is frequently made that
the United States, with the European
powers, should move upon China and
crush the nation that permits such
barbarities.
We join in the feelings of horror and
resentment against these outrages,
but not in the hasty expressions made
by a good many worthy but unrefiect-
ing persons as to the situation and the
course which is proper to pursue I'M
der the circumstances.
In the first place, it is not just TO con-
denim the Chinese nation or the Chin
csc government for the wrongs done
by a few individuals, moved by ia
naticism and inspired by malice born
of ignorance. No nation or govern
ment or community on earth should
be thus judged and condemned.
In the next place, can the American
people proceed against the Chinese
empire with clean and spotless hands?
Have there been no outrages upon the
Chinese by white people within the
domain of the United States? Can this
country afford to least the first stone"
in an onslaught upon China by way
of retaliation? We are afraid not.
Now, let no one intimate that The
Herald has any apology or excuse for
the cowardly and murderous conduct
Of the Chinese assassins. There are
no words that can fully express our
detestafion of the barbarism of the
heather mobocrats. We merely wish
to draw attention to the facts, that
our country is not free from such in
eXcusa BILE assaults and that no nation
must be branded for the acts Of its
individual criminals.

most successful diplomats of the age,
Bismarck, has ever been noted for the
frankness and bluntness of his diplo-
matte dealings. And who has been
more successful?
Mr.. Bayard's opinion as to what
constitutes the best diplomacy is a
proper one. one that becomes a great
and free government. The United
States government asks nothing to
which it is not entitled, is always will
ling to do justice, the American people
insist on knowing what is being done
by their officials, and it accords with
all their ideas to have their country S
diplomatic representatives be frank
and honest

INCREASE OF WAGES.

PETER agrees with the great lights of
the Republican party that the Increase in
wages is a very bad thing. II it goes on,
the outlook for the country is truly omi-

lockouts, but everybody is to be too busy
there of purifying politics. or elevating
