CRIMINAL AGENCIES.

One of the latest defenses of the rape
fend is that white men sometimes
black their faces and commit these hor-
rible crimes in order to get some negro
hanged. 1t is said that there are paid
agents of bestial blacks stationed in
various northern and western cities for
the express purpose of shielding negro
criminals in this way, and working up
sentiment against the white men and
women OF the south. This face-black-
ing business is so utterly absurd that
the confessions of the negro culprits
after the moose is placed around their
necks are generally accepted as the bet
ter evidence.
Once in a While a negro editor is fair
and manly enough TO take stand like
that of the Christian Index, the official
organ of the colored Methodist Episce-
pal church, published at jackson. We
take this paragraph concerning Hose
from the Index:
We are not surprised at the way he met
his death. We would be very much sur
prised to know that any negro in this
country would directly or indirectly de-
fend such man. While we deplore the
actions of the mob. yet we would not
walk two steps to join in with a crowd of
negroes who would attempt to justify,
condone or rescue "A man who could com
nit such an outrageous crime in cold
blood.
Negroes who take a stand like this
are worthy of the respect of white peo-
pie. Those who try to screen rapists.
either because they belong to the same
class or because they are paid to do it,
are doing nothing for their race, but
much against it.
Keep your hands clean of crimes that
excite mob violence and lend yourselves
to the vindication of the law, is the es-
sence of the advice rendered the negroes
by the Index. When you try to screen
the negro behind a mythical white
man with a minstrel complexion, when
you call up cases of depraved white
women in eXtenuation of negro bes-
TALLY. it shows that your sympathies
are with the rape fiend, and that OPP
portunity or courage is all you need to
become a criminal of his class.

"UNPATRlOTIC WORDS"

Three years ago our morning con-
temporary declared that the Republic
an party wouldn't last three years on a
platform like that adopted at st. Louis.
1t warned the people that international
bimetallism was only a delusion and a
snare 1t made the prediction, and
asked an exchange to paste the same
upon the wall, that the tariff couldn
help this country, that it was a robbery
of the west anyhow, that it levied
tribute upon all the rest of the coun-
try for the benefit of the extreme east;
and it even went so far as to say, a
few months ago, that those who
claimed that prosperity had come as a
result of tariff legislation lied and
knew they were lying
Then it declared its intentions in re-
lation to the st. Louis international
bimetallic platform as follows:
I'VE will not pretend to say what
will be or what ought to be. 1t is
enough for today to say that the writer
of this article viii never stultify the
work of more than twenty years by
accepting such platform or any can
didate nominated on such a platform. -
But it couldn't even predict its own
course six months ahead. For with
all its solemn assurances it is back in
the goldbug ranks declaring with the
st. Louis convention that eff bimetal-
lism ever comes it will have to come
from European countries
Scores of newspapers over the United
States have been commenting on the
Tribune's change of front, the goldbug
press receives it with as warm a well
silver press of Idaho. Nevada. and the
west regard its editorials as a perma-
nent farewell to free coinage.
The Reno New Journal reviews our
neighbours new financial policy as fol-
lows:
THE Journal is sorry to notice that
the Salt Lake Tribune has abandoned
first love, the goldbug Republican
party In a labored editorial Of a
column length, Judge Goodwin en-
deavors to explain the cause for the
change. When boiled down it amounts
to nothing more or less than
the stereotyped chestnuts of the gold
bug press which were worn thread
bare long before the Tribune editor
could muster moral courage enough TO
cut loose from the party which he has
now re-joined. The gist of the entire
article is contained in less than a
couple of lines-if silver is ever re-
stored it will have to come from
across the sea- We never expected
such unpatriotic words of national
abasement to fall from the pen of
Judge Goodwin

Whittier Ambition Leads.

The secret of the worldly success OF
the American people lies in the bound
less and ceaseless ambition of each
individual living in this land of oppor-
tunities. The poor man is always striv-
ing to be rich; the rich man is forever
strivinfyIo be great. The aim of the
whole nation is toward higher and bet
ter things.
The merit of modesty is invariably
recognized by our people. but is some
times apparently lost sight of in the
necessary struggle toward the lofty
achievements that lie within the grasp
of our humblest citizens.
These self-evident facts were emphat-
ically brought out by a recent incident
in a Boston hotel. A pretentious per-
son with a conspicuous servant in at
tendance presented himself at the Of
flee and registered his name in large
capitals running across the page:
RICHARD HARDING DAVIS
and valet.
The next guest to arrive was genu-
inc American with all a true Ameri-
cans hopes, ambitions and possibilities.
He registered:

and valiSe.
Even the president of the Standard
Oil company has ideals that he is

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.

such denial on behalf OF organized cap

their grievances, and it may even drive
them from their homes and prevent

MUCH MORE WORTHY.

We quite agree with an admission
our morning contemporary makes. The
Manti Messenger is certainly more
worthy of any adversary's steel than
the Tribune is. 1t is nearer mans size;
it is ne'er so petty as our neighbor,
nor does it stoop to such childish acts.
1t is bigger in thought and broader in
view than the Tribune. 1t is in every
way a more creditable opponent
For the Tribune is the mouthpiece

The Tribune is not only the fad of
