BOILING OVER AGAIN.

The Tribune poured out the Walls of
its wrath yesterday on the heads of
labor union leaders who dare to enter
tain opinions at variance with its own.
Men have come to expect that sort of
treatment from our irritable and I'M
reasonable contemporary.
1t isn't happy unless engaged in abus-
ing or misrepresenting somebody, and
the ancient weapon of vituperation IS
the only one il ever knew.
1t claims to be the best friend labor
unions ever had, and yet it never loses
an opportunity to denounce union Off
Gals as Doors "blatherskites, -
idiots" and anarchists" and when
ever a difference arises between capital
and labor it's hostility to the latter is
so manifest that he who runs may
read.
This wouldn't be so bad, for it is en-
titled to its choice in this free country
where men and newspapers have
right to hold and express opinions
without being assaulted with barroom
billingsgate, but our petulant neighbor
goes out of its way to distort the utter
anoes of labor delegates and abuse
them for things they never said. 1t
is this unfairness that shows the ma
Iignant bitterness behind it, and eX-
poses the gross hypocrisy of its profess
sions of friendship for labor.
The Tribune is getting ready to throw
some more mud. Hear it:
Utah has never had any labor troubles.
and no oppressed laboring men since 1t
rid itself of a remnant of the Mollie Ma
CURES. that for d little while found lodg-
ment here The Tribune wishes nothing
but good of the convention which is to
meet here tomorrow. and VIII second Its
every effort to benefit labor and laborinS
men in an honest way. But II any
blatherskites appear with their incendiary
talk. the Tribune will hear of 1t, and
tIeat the matter as it deserves.
Let delegates beware the organs
wrath. There isn't a vile name in the
Bowery vernacular that it hasn't at its
tongues end: and the way it raves and
rants and rolls off epithets would seem
shocking and be strangely out of place,
in this age of the world, anywhere save
in the columns of the Tribune.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-05-08
PERlLS OF EASTERN CITIES

Eastern newspapers have had a
lessness, and st. Louis papers in par
ticular have made a feature of stories
of dangers that surround the miners of
the Rocky mountain camps.
Yesterday a dispatch was sent out
from st. Louis to the effect that a man
from Cripple Creek had been murdered
for his money in the Manhattan hotel
of that populous and pious metropolis.
Now here was a man who had lived
in security and waXed wealthy in
Colorados typical community of bad
men: his experience had been one of
peace and calm content. For years this
man Siegel had dwelt among the border
characters and had passed through
the stored perils of the widest,
wooliest portion of the awful west. In
an evil moment, pining doubtless for
excitement, he packed his grip and
went to st. Louis, a city that boasts Of
its churches and policemen, and there
under the shadow of the one and the
nose of the other he found it.
In one week the coroner was holding
an inquest over his mutilated remains.
And yet we suppose the st. Louis
papers will go right on illustrating the
cheapness OF human life in mining
camps and thrilling their readers with
space-rate stories of carnivals of crime
in Cripple Creek.
1t is the way of the east.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-05-08
NON-PARTISAN WOES.

"In 1897 the Tribune favored nom
partisan city government"
Yes. and to all appearances it has
had enough of partisanism.
The committee made a ticket and
submitted the ticket to the people"
1t did. and it also made a platform
pledging itself TO select none but Off
Gals of approved fitness and expert
ence."" And the members of that COM
mittee, p. II. Lannan, John Henry
Smith, C. c. Goodwin, John T. Game.
]. L. Dooly ct al, solemnly assured
the public that the city's elective and
appointive servants and employees
should be selected for these qualifica-
tions, and no others
Then they whooped things up and
carried the city for John Clark on these
representations:
l. That. if elected mayor. Mr.. Clark
would not appoint any of the non-par-
tisan committee to office.
. That Mr.. Clark was not pledged to
send in the name of Arthur Pratt for
chief of police.
Both of these assurances were subse-
quently shown to be insincere, and
these appointments were made on the
urgent recommendation of the Salt
Lake Tribune, which browbeat and
bully-ragged the city council until it
