THE TooMBs PRISON DISGRACE.

If the Tombs prison were a penitentiary
for the punishment. of convicts its pres
ent condition would be disgrace to the
city. How much more disgracerul il is;
when we reflect that the persons con-
fined there are usually not convicts, but
persons awaiting trial-persons whom the
law presumes to he innocent.
There are twice as many people in the
TonlbS as the prison can deCently hold
III cells feet by 7 feet-too small for the
health of even one person-twO prisoners
are crowded, with only one cot to sleep
upon. In a part of the prison the grand
jury finds even worse croWdinS than this.
1t reports that as many as 15Q persons are
sometimes packed into room y feet V
80 feet in dimensions, While y OF the
attendants are required TO 1--we in d room
u by IS feet
This is truly a barbaric condition of
things For the third time during the
year the grand jury has presented the
facts, yet the authorities do nothing.

civilized city TO say about it?-New York

NOT AN ORGAN.

A gentleman who recently took part
in a Republican meeting in the First
precinct, in the course of his remarks
stated that the Republicans of Salt
Lake City and county had no daily
party organ. This greatly disgruntled
the Tribune, and it proceeded to read
the gentleman severe lecture, MAX
ing in it many personal insinuations
which were without foundation That
paper is nothing if not abusive and
personal But the Tribune made this
admission:
''He harps upon the fact that the
Tribune said it is no organ of any
party. That is true, and does he
know of any organ of any party that
has any particular influence
The gentleman wrote a respectful
explanatory letter to that paper,
showing that he was right in his re-
marks from the Tribune's own stand
point and declarations. That paper
comes back at him with long TRADE,
in which it completely lodges the
main question and assumes that he
intimated that the Republican party
had no newspaper in this region.
That of course is an entirely differ
ent thing.
The Tribune takes the ground that

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

'The Republican women should all
register
So says the Salt Lake Tribune. A
few days ago it advised Republican
women to organize into clubs, separate
and apart, however. from the regular
/ Republican organization. At the same
! time it admonished them not TO think
or admit for a moment that they had
any right whatever to vote at the No
vember election. They We're only to
/ organize so as to get women to as
sociate with the Republican party and
thus keep them from afnliating with
the Democrats, and for the purpose of
getting as near even as possible with
the Democratic party in its invitation
to the ladies to become full members
of the party, entitled to all its rights
and privileges
Why should Republican women all
register if none Of them have any right
to vote? OF what use is registration
if it gives no title to the exercise of
the elective franchise? Registration
without the ballot would be worse than
a farce. It would be indeed labor in
vain. But perhaps our neighbor has
changed its opinion, for it says:
and now the thing for Republicans
TO do is this: To urge all women to
register and vote and carry the cleo
ton. If then, by any hocupocus the
proclamation of the president shall be
withheld, in two months the people
can call new election and pass upon
the constitution"
The wisdom of our vacillating con-
temporary is really startling. First.
the women have no right to vote and
should not admit for a moment that
they think they have. Next they are
all to register and all to vote. And if
the president does not issue his procla-
nation, in two months they can have
another election and vote on the con-
stitution.
Remarkable! Where would they get
their authority for calling the new cleo
ton? How much better off would they
be when another vote had been taken?
If the president can find a pretext for
refusing to issue his procla ton in
the first place as required by the
enabling act, what is to prevent him
from refusing to issue it when there is
no requirement in the enabling act, on
a subsequent unauthorized vote of
the people? Our contemporary makes
another remark to which we call at
tention and this one is worthy of some
consideration. 1t says:
IF the Democrats win. there will
never be any question about it; every
thing viii 60"
Now if that is true, will it not be the
part Of wisdom for the people of Utan
who desire statehood and wish that
there may be no mistake about it bur
that everything shall CO." so that
there shall be no question about the
admission of the new state, to make
sure that 1.-The Democrats win?' THAT
would seem the part of prudence. All
doubts would then be dissipated. An
distractions would be moved out of
the way.
Vote for the Democratic ticket, make
it certain that ''the Democrats win"
and the way will be clear, the pro-
clamation will be issued, statehood will
be secured and Utah will take its place
in the Union as a free and sovereign
state. So we are assured by the lead
ing Republican paper of Utah. Let
the voters of the proposed state take
notice and govern themselves accord
ingly.

NO CONTENTION, Ell.

The Republicans of Utah are in
| formed by the Republican paper which
says it is mot a Republican organ
that there is every prospect of har-
! mony in that party. It says There
is no reason to fear any trouble. Re-
publicans have their favorite friends,
/ Of course, but there is no serious con-
tention within the party, and when
they at last meet and nominate their
I ticket the chances are a thousand to
one that they viii go into the fight
with the settled purpose of making
Utah a Republican state''
We are to infer from all this that
| the alarms which have been raised by
the Tribune, in reference to the course
Of certain influential members of the
Republican party, are not as serious as
that paper tried to make appear. To
read its leading editorials for a week
Or more an ordinary reader would sup
pose that the Tribune had buckled on
its fighting armor and was in the fray
to Kill. It's foes were they of its own
household. They were denounced as
'hoodlers, corruptionists and bribers."
and their supporters of the Republican
press were "snarling ours" while the
common herd Of their followers were
stlgmatized as ''heelers and strikers"
But change seems to have come
over CDR belligerent contemporary. 1t
sees now no reason to fear any
trouble 1t declares that there is mo
serious contention within the party"
All its strong language, then, we sup
pose IS to be taken in a Pickwickian
sense. The Tribune did not mean it.
The language used was simply its
ordinary way of expressing mild dis
satisfaction in the course of certain
Republicans.
We observe that this change has
come since the action of the Republi-
can territorial committee, in accepting
the resignation of its chairman and
choosing another who will be plant
and tractable to the suggestions and
requirements of the faction headed by
the Salt Lake Tribune. 1t thinks it
VIII now have its, way and so there is
no reason to fear any trouble
we have no doubt that the Republi-
cans will go into the fight which IS
before US with the settled purpose of
making Utah a Republican state. But
all the same, there are two factions in
the party which are bitterly at vari-
ance, and to say that there is no
serious contention within the party
is one Of those pieces of bold effrontery
for which our not over particular
neighbOr is noted.
Harmony is not yet patched up in
the Republican party of Utah. The
contentious within it's ranks are seri-
Gus and many. 1t is possible that
these conflicting fires will be measur-
ably quenched, and that a fair face
may be turned toward the foe. Bat the
Democratic party has the advantage
of going into this campaign thoroughly
united, full of determination, with a
firm faith in victory, and an enemy
to meet whose ranks are rent with
dissension and discomfort, ana full of
suspicion that fraud and corruption
are operating within.

that statement, hopes to create a re-
putation for fairness. cleanliness and
/ right methods to which its history
shows it is not by any means en-
titled. All decent people want "a
square deal' and ''a clean campaign"
But their ideas of the meaning of
those terms are not exactly that which
has obtained in the columns of the
] Salt Lake Tribune. The municipal
campaign of 1890 furnishes enough
evidence on that point.
That paper still intimates that there
is an effort to make this a doodle
campaign" 1t has designated an in
dividual who cuts an important figure
in the Republican party as the source
from which the Doodle is to come. 1t
has associated with him the name of
another very prominent Republican
of this territory 1t has stated that
the country Republican press with
but one or two exceptions are a set of
''yelping ours" who have been in
fluenced in their course by the chief
boodler. 1t has also denominated
the men who have appeared favorable
to the schemes of the principal hood
Ter and his chief associate as "barkers
and strikers
The Herald has pointed out the
fact that all these charges of boodling,
and all the pet epithets which the
Tribune has used in this direction,
are directed against persons belong
ing to the Republican party. The
Tribune at length perceives the point.
1t sees the effect of its own accusa-
tons and now, in its usual unprinci-
pied way, it tries to make a turn and
relieve the Republican local party
from a part of theodium which at
taches to it if its remarks are true.
1t now says:
The aforesaid so-called millionaire
never came here with the expectation
of getting a majority of the Republi-
cans. Quite half his strikers are
Democrats
THE so-called millionaire" is said to
be candidate for the office of
United States Senator from Utah. He
is a Republican of the Republicans.
All his support must necessarily
come from that party. If he has any
show at all for obtaining the office he
seeks, it must be by the votes of Re
publicans in the state legislature
No Democrat could be counted on to
vote for him. No Democrat would
dare not vote for him and expect to re-
tain public respect To say then
that half his strikers are Demo-
Gratis" is one of those assertions which
only the rashest and silliest of falsi-
fiers would be stupid and reckless
enough to utter
If there are a lot of"barkers and
strikers in the pay of the person
designated by the Tribune and half of
them are Democrats. it will be easy
for the Tribune to furnish the names of
some of those Democratic Strikers"
We challenge it to produce one. We do
not care to dispute its assertions about
its Republican associates, but we chaI-
Lenge the proof as to the Democrats.
The Tribune knows that in making
the statement we have quoted, it is
deliberately and Intentionally lying.
and that is the notion it has about "a

a DIRECT CONFESSION.

The Herald has had some contro-
versy with the Tribune on the attitude
OF the two political parties in reference
to silver. We have given repeated
proofs that the Republican party has
been the enemy of free silver coinage
ever since the act of 1873 was passed.
Our contemporary has endeavored in
its peculiar fashion to show to the
contrary. 1t has not succeeded, and
in the absence of arguments to dis
prove the facts cited by The Herald
has substituted mud-throwng at the
Democratic party.
Whatever sophistry may be used to
relieve the Republican party from the
odium of demonetizing silver in 1873,
the fact that the party has had full
power ever since that date to restore
the white metal to its former none
tary status and has failed to do so.
but on the contrary has fought and
overcome every endeavor of the Dem
Ocratic party to pass a free silver
coinage bill, cannot be denied by the
most barefaced of Republican papers.
The proof IS therefore ample that
there is no hope for silver III the Re
publican party"
We refer to this again because it is
not unlikely that our morning contem-
porary will soon make another attempt
to clear the Republican party from the
stigma which attaches to it on the sill
yer question. And as that paper has
made an admission which ought to
settle the question so far as it is con-
cerned, we will here quote its inadver-
tent expression made on Friday morn
ing.
Has the Tribune ever wandered
away from Repblican principles ser
iously, except on one question, the sill
yer question:
The Tribune has published a great
many articles advocating the free
coinage of silver, although it has on
some occasions apologized for and ap-
proved of the straddles which have
been made by Republican organiza-
tons on that question. But here is an
admission that in advocating the
claims of silver it has Seriously wan
dered away from Republican princi-
pies" That is enough to show that the
statements of The Herald and those of
Senators Jones and Stewart and other
prominent men who were formerly
straight Republicans are true, that
There is no hope for silver in the Re
publican party.

When a paper is recognized as the
organ Of a party, it is understood to
advocate the general principles and
policy of that party. But it does not
follow that it is bound to support
any wrong theory or policy or bad
man connected with that party. If
it finds anything which it cannot con-
scientiously advocate, it is not under
obligations to stultify itself, or to say
or do anything contrary to its own
convictions. rhe organ of a party is
not the slave of that party. 1t can
be thoroughly independent in its
course, although it advocates and ex-
pounds the principles which give life

it represents.

une was right. That paper has de-
clared that it is mot Republican

Grated what the Tribune had said of

it was SO. 1t is not at all improbable
that in a short time he will have
no room for regret on that score. If
there is anything that the Republican
party of Utah want done to effect
its ends. it will find no difficulty in
getting that paper to act in all re-
spects as its organ, providing it will
furnish the necessary consideration.
