that any one who takes his organ at
its word and believes that its libels
were based upon information is "a
monumental liar
Having repeatedly and indiscrimi-
nately attacked the present legislature,
its morality and it's intelligence. the
Tribune is left high and dry by this
letter of MIR. Lannan.
He protests that the newspapers of
the state. other than his own, have
given me credit for fund of informa-
ton, for inventive faculties and de-
tective acumen which, highly fiatter-
ing to me as they are, really do not
belong to me-"
Such modesty is becoming, but it viz
tualiy amounts TO a disavowal of the
charges made by innuendo in his organ
during the six weeks last past.
He suggests, it may be in order to
apply his favorite epithet to some DEM
ocrat, that you summons me before
you, that you may ascertain without
question how very little L know, and
by that information form an idea of
how monumental are the liars on the
press which your party leans upon in
Utah.
1t is not often that a man i'm public
life is willing to gauge the mendacity
OF a political opponent by his own ig-
norance Of matters he discusses in
print; or to cite the littleness of what
he knows as an excuse for calling some
one liar

DENIES THE KNOWLEDGE.

Inasmuch as Mr. p. II. Lannan has
gone out of his way. in personal let
tier to the bribery investigating commit
tee, to indulge in unseemly levity, in
view of the serious charges he has been
making through mis- personal organ,
and the use of coarse epithets, striking
" similar to those which daily adorn
the editorial columns of his patent
Storm Starter, it is but natural to
conclude that he invites attention.
That communication is, ostensibly. a
voluntary proposal To appear before
the committee and state that the au-
thor knows nothing of the matter or
matters in controversy. 1t appears
about twenty-four hours too late to be
regarded as a free-will offering. The
fact is that subpoena was issued for
the gentleman the day before his COM
munication was filed. and the endorse
ment shows it had been served
Waving that. however, let us look
at the protestation of innocence. 1t is
astounding.
After assailing in his organ. by in
nuendo and otherwise. the character of
a leading business man and citizen Of
the state who happens also to be
candidate upon whose defeat Mr.. Ian
nan seems to have set his heart. he
ooolly informs the committee that he
has no knowledge upon which the as
saults We're based.
After repeating in his personal or
gan. day after day. the charge that
there is a corruption fund in the pres
ent senatorial contest, and insinuating
that bribery has been carried on, Mr.
Lannan jocularly says to the committee

Congress is now considering the APP
pointment of a special commission to
arrange a final settlement with c. p.
Huntington and his associates in regard
to the old Central Pacific railway. 1t
owes the government of the United
States $5S.S12, 715. This amount is to be
paid in semi-annual 3 per cent notes,
the last of which expire ten years from
the date of the signing of the agree
ment. The notes are to be secured by
a deposit of per cent bonds. A de-
fault in the payment of any installment
of principal or interest would result in
its entire Indebtedness becoming due
and payable at once. The intention is
to effect a settlement which will be
satisfactory to both sides and obviate
the necessity of a foreclosure.

felon of wealth and the poor prisoner
from the slums may march next each
other in the lockstep and occupy ad-
jacent cells on the gallery, for TO all
intents and purposes they are alike
now. The striped dress. close-cropped
hair. the utter stripping off of all COM
forts have a leveling influence.
The awfulness Of prison life lies in
the memories of the past; the dismal
contrast between home and prison cell.
the longing for loved ones whose hearts
are aching away out of reach; the
knowledge that the wretched eOmpan-
ionship of misery must be theirs, in the
weary round of prison toll from morn
ing till night, for the long years ahead,
which seem interminable. Above and
beyond all this, prisoners have the BIT

fallen upon them, never to be removed

forever as accurSed.

Those who still cling to the protec-

tention called to the following excerpt
from the Commercial Advertiser expos
ing the home market humbug": THE
character of American exports is not
shifting. We are sending not only more
manufactured goods abroad than ever
before, but more cotton and wheat. We
have not been forced to resort to ex-
portation of manufactured goods to
counterbalance decline of foreign de-
mand for raw cotton and food pro-
ducts. We have not been driven by
foreign competition out of markets we
already possessed. American exports
of every kind are increasing steadily.

The first aspect of prison life that

number of visits year. when for a few
minutes he talks with wife or mother

him there is. therefore, still this little
bridge between his cell and the world
from which he has been banished. To
many. however. there does not exist

ADJUSTMENTS.

The audience at the Theatre last
night, which was equal in size and bril-
liancy to the one of Monday. witnessed
a fine accommodation fine.
Fedora is a play which greatly
surpasses La Tosca" in interest, and
at the same time gives the stars and
one or two others a far greater chance
for the display or their powers. If one
may judge by effect rather than actual
comparison, ii would seem that the
part of Fedora suits Miss Walsh TO
perfection. While in her performance
there was all the depth and passion of
her La Tosca, there was also much OPP
portunity for the display of a finesse,
a refinement of detail, that made it in
deed a superb performance. 1t was
pitched in a more suitable key. She
fairly swept one along with her wit,
her beauty. charm. and passions of
hatred, revenge, love, and remorse. It
is many a day since Salt Lake has seen
the equal of Miss Walsh's Fedora, and
the career of this talented new star
will be watched with great interest.
Hers was an ambitious task. to fill the
place left vacant by Fanny Davenport.
but her fitness is proven. Melbourne
MacDowell as Loris Ipanoff. made a
mt companion-piece for the Fedora. In
much more agreeable character than
that of Scarpia, he was convincing and
magnetic strong actor he is always.
Mr.. Arthur Elliott as the blase man
or the world was exactly suited with
the part, and gave an excellent per-
formance, as did also Constance Will
hams as the Countess Olga. The seen
cry, as before. was rich, and the gowns
very handsome. The audience was very
demonstrative. and went so far as to
raise Fedora from the dead, after the
final curtain. Perhaps ii was comfort
to the extremely sympathetic TO know
that the beautiful princess was not
really dead, after all; but then, again.
itsmakes ones previous emotions seem
somewhat ridiculous and unjustifiable.
In short, it spoils the effect; and would
not the tableau be just as satisfactory
a recognition of the compliment?
