Stage in Rich county. The ruling of
the court below in denying a motion
for a new trial is affirmed This
means that Coughlin must die unless
an appeal to the supreme court of the
United States is taken. If it is Cough
Inns right to have that appeal it
should be accorded him. but if there
is no reasonable ground for believing
that it exists it should not be granted.
Coughlin, though a young man, is
entitled to no sympathy whatever.
The killing of Dawes and Stagg by the
young ruffian and his companion was
a clear case of cold blooded murder.
Before leaving Park City he tried to
kill the sheriff of Summit county, and
came very nearly doing it. The shoot
ing of the two officers in Rich county
was but the carrying out of a deter
mination to become heroes among out
laws. The start was we'll made but
fortunately for the public the young
outlaws were captured before they had
killed anyone else, though they tried
it in City Greek canyon when the Of
ficers were after them there.
They have had fair trials and been
found guilty as charged, Coughlin be-
ing sentenced to death and George to
imprisonment for life. Let these SEN
fences be carried out, in the case of
Coughlin with what dispatch the law
will allow, for the sooner such GRIMM
ais are executed and placed under
ground the better for society. Let him
be executed for what he is-a criminal
of the very worst class Around his
execution let there be cast no false
glamour, no publicity that shall make
him hero for one short hour. He is
a felon condemned to die and as a
felon he should be treated at all
times

NOT PROTECTION.


The Denver Republican recently
said:
If eastern Republicans will not join
hands with us to secure the reOpening
of our minis to the unrestricted coin
age of both silver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1, without the co-opera-
ton of any foreign country, they need
not expect us to aid them in restoring
the policy of protection either this
year or next year or any other year.
If they can ignore one part of the
platform we can ignore another just
as well, and we propose to do it until
they see the error Of their ways and
Join hands with us in re-establishing
both bimetallism and protection in this
country.
That. outside of Utah, represents the
Republican programme in relation to
silver 1egislation-the East is to have
no more protection until it grants free
silver to the West. We do not think
much of it as a programme. We have
absolutely no faith in its efficiency.
The Republican party outside of the
Rocky mountain West is so completely
welded to the gold craze. if we may
retort in phrase on our Eastern
friends, that there is no prospect
whatever that the free and unlimited
coinage of silver will receive thirty
minutes serious consideration by the
ST. Louis Republican convention. Then
again if it were considered as a sort
of wing to beat in harmony with pro
lection" as another wing, the great
probability is that only partial recog-
milton of silver would be promised,
such as that temporary subterfuge
measure engineered through congress
in 1890 by that craftiest of politicians,
John Sherman, which arranged for the
purchase of a limited amount of silver
only, upon which treasury notes were
issued, and which, since it was finally
decided that the treasury notes so is
sued had to be redeemed in gold,
might as well have been an issue Of
paper as of silver currency redeem
able in gold. We want no more such
treatment Of silver. We want no more
straddling on the silver question, nor
any such local treatment Of it as comes
from the far-fetched notion that in
some way links it with the doctrine
of Republican protection; and that
says free coinage Is the measure of
protection that belongs to the mining
industry of the West. That ground is
altogether too local on which to base
so broad a question. If it could be in
truth made to appear that such was
the basis on which the question rested,
it would ALLEVIATE too many ardent
friends from the cause. Free and I'M
limited coinage of silver has nothing
whatever to do with the question of
protection, it has nothing to do, only
Incidentally, with developing the min
ing industry of the West. The restora-
ton OF silver to it's proper place in our
monetary system is something which
interests alike the farmer in the Mis-
sissippi valley, the southern cotton
planter. the New England manufac-
t1rer. the New York merchant and
The western miner alike; and if it does
not do that, it is sham and
fraud and ought to be abandoned
1T is a question of money, not
of protection, and we would lose
more than half of the people of the
United States if western Republicans
succeed in making it "a sort of question
of protection.

KEEP POLITICS OUT OF THE
SCHOOLS.

Rt. Rev. Daniel S. futile, Episcopal
bishop of Missouri, said:
i am most emphatically opposed to
anything tending to drag our school sys-
tenn into politics. Not being familiar with
the present status of affairs in st. Louis,
having just returned to the city after
weeks absence, / cannot speak speci-
fically, but L stand against any such
movement on general principles. Our
common school system Should be sd-
credly guarded from the communicating
influences of partisan politics. Only men
of high standing in the community and
of undoubted integrity, should be chosen.
The spectacle of a lot of politicians, who
have only their own nests to feather,
having control of our common school
system is enough to rouse every thinking
citizen to active opposition In such
hands our schools would be bound to
deteriorate. The greatest university in
the west, at Ann Arbor, has been built
up by the sensible people of Michigan
SteadfaStly refusing to allow its manage
ment to become tainted with POLITE I
can conceive no greater danger TO the
community than underlies such a move
as the one on foot in st. Louis now. The
bedrock of our republican form of gov
eminent is the right of the people to

through our common school system. The
public welfare demands that the schools
should be kept clear of such baneful in
fiuences as much accrue with their in
PRODUCTION into the field of politics. Such
an attempt should be crushed in its in
ception by the citizens of this city.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

$40 to $50 each, and still the japanese
demand exceeds the supply
While the Japs cannot supply their
own demands, it is not at all likely
that they are gong to make much of
an impression on the American mar
kelt- And if this wheel Is the clumsy
thing this correspondent represents it
as being, it only confirms what has

lous prices.

NEwnANps on JAPANESE b.
CYCLES.

Protectionists often tell very pretty
stories, regular fairy tales. Congress-
man Newlands, of Nevada, told such
tale in the house the other day. He
told it in connection with resolution
ne presented instructing the ways and
means committee to inquire what ef-
feet the difference of exchange between
cold and silver standard countries has
upon manufacturing industries of the
United States.
This tale, as all fairy tales Should
be. was of an oriental country. The
country was Japan. He said bicycles
were being imported from Japan and
sold for S12 apiece. Then he described
how bicycles could be manufactured III
japan for $12 in silver and sold in this
country for So in gold. Strange that
none Of the great bicycle manufactur-
ers of the country has ever learned
the secret of this wonderful manufac-
turing feat. The trade journals know
nothing of the process, though Mr..
Newlands appears to know all about
it. In fact, it may be stated without
fear of successful contradiction that
he knows more about the matter than
THE Japs themselves.
In the Bicycling World Of the 14th
inst. is an article on these same So
Japanese bicycles. 1t is so complete an
answer to the wild and nonsensical
talk of Newiands that the entire ar
ticle is given:

'And did they order trial on this, .
was Chief Devine's smiling comment
when he had read over the charges
preferred against him before the po-
lice and fire commissioners. From the
remark it appears that the chief thinks
he has an easy task to meet and re-
flute the charges or else that the charg-
es themselves do not amount to the
gross neglect of duty that the mayor
sees in them. It is matter OF which
it is difficult to judge rightly, however,
until all the circumstances connected
with the case are known. We
can readily believe thai theirs
are circumstances under which
the chief of the fire department.
can be absent from four fires between
the 9Th day of January and the 18th
day of February without gross neglect
of duty; and then again we can think of
circumstances where absence from just
one fire would constitute the grossest
neglect of duty. 1t all depends upon
the circumstances, and those In
this case are yet to be detailed both
on the part of the mayor and on the
part of the chief.
We cannot refrain from expressing
the hope, however, that we shall soon
come to the end Of plots and counter
plots in the municipal government of
this city.
