LlBELS AND LAW SUITS.

When Justice Baskin AYERS that no
polygamous marriages have been SOL
emnized under the sanction of the Nor
mon authorities since the Woodbury. man
ifesto. he directly charges the Tribune
with falsehood. We hurl the charge back
into his teeth. and tell him that he dis
graces the manhood which we all once
thought he possessed and dfshonorS the
ermine which he officially wears. for no
one better than he knows that we could
make no such charge unless it was true,
without being overU helmed by libel suits.
Tribune.
The talk of libel suits is the weakest
kind of an answer. No political party
thinks of relying Oh a libel suit to re-
flute the attacks of the opposition. nor
does a church. whatever the calumnies
cast at it, resort TO the law, ~ather
trusting in an appeal to the judgment
OF the highest tribunal in the land, the
American people as a whole The other
attempts to refute the statements of
Judge Baskin are not worthy of no
tice-Standard.
Wholesale charges such as the Trib-
une has been making against the en-
tire membership of the dominant
church seldom result N litigation Com
munifies and organizations are not in
the habit of bringing suits for dam
ages. ana libelers often take advantage
of this knowledge.
Every charge that the Republican
organ has made of plural marriages in
violation of the state constitution, has
been made by innuen1o in the, most
sneaking manner imaginable, as if it
feared such suits.
With its indiscriminate arraignment
of citizens of American Fork for unlaw-
full Capitalization, wherein twenty re
spectacle wives were published as I'M
chaste and a like number of lawful
husbands held up as lawbreakers, there
have been no libel suits as yet.
But that does not signify that the
Republican organ told the truth about
them. 1t may mean that they have
heard the trouble Arthur Brown had
in getting anything but judgment
when the court found that he had been
libeled and injured by the same paper.

HANNA'S AlLMENT.

Up TO and including the day of the
last election in Ohio Chairman Mark
Hanna of the Republican national
committee was in robust health. In
fact, when he returned from Europe
in November the senator said chat he
never felt better in his life"
But the loss OF his own district and
all the cities and towns of his immedi-
ate neighborhood caused relapse and
the great corrurtionist never felt
worse in his life perhaps than he does
now that leading Republican news
papers are asking to be relieved of the
embarrassment of his conspicuous
presence.
One of these, the New York Tribune.

IL win Ohio next year unless he cuts
loose from Hanna. The. Philadelphia
Ledger says that Senator Hanaa'sf con-
stituents have shown an unmistakable
desire 90 be rid of his leade.uaip. THE
reasons assigned for such course are
the evident unpopufarity of Senator
Hanna with the farmers and shop
workers. and the fear that mis- rarne
would he a burden to the Presidents

Ex-senator c. S. Henderson, of Ne
braska. in an interview printed in the
Chicago InterOcean says of the methods
of procedure adopted in the Rob-
erts case: THE Republicans in the
house 70 lost their heads under the
pressure of public sentiments and. in
my opinion, dangerous precedent has
been established. In the future this
case can he cited as an excuse for re-
fusing TO seat member for any cause
whatsoever. If l were in the senate,
and the Roberts case had come up be-
fore that body, l should have voted to
seat him. After that it would be an
easy matter to dispose of him, for, by
his own evidence and statements. he
is a polygamist, and the Edmunds-
Tucker law declares that on and after
certain date polygamy shall cease.
There is no way that the law can be
construed to mean that polygamous re-
lations entered into before the act was
passed could be lawfully continued"

The Washington correspondent of

is that Republican leaders feel that it

This course puts the party fatty on the

in the national committee in the next
campaign il may be taken for granted
that there will be a resolute demand
made by recognized leaders of the party
that Mr.. Hanna resign from the chair

Senator Hanna is sick then, because
he has made the people sick. He has
made the people sick because he has
overworked himself for the Republican
party. Unless all signs fail the Ameri-
can people are gradually sickening of

Somewhere Tuesday night there

a night the Republican club of this city
was named the John p. Jones Club. -
on that same night the senator re-

discovered its gold standard tenden-

from San Francisco TO New York. it
