LIGHT ON THE ROW.

Light is beginning to dawn upon our
morning contemporary exhibition of
wrath at the idiots in Utah who were
Republicans ana supported Mckinley
four years ago.
Ia the recent Republican primaries
held in this city. the Idiots" answering
the organs description carried things
with a high hand, sweeping the field
from Dan to Beersheba, allowing the
Lannanites only the crumbs which fell
from the Brown table.
T. Demosthenes Fitch was one of
those who went down flying the Lannan
flag and shouting for Hanna-Hammond
and reconciliation. There were others
too numerous TO mention, and too furi-
cts to talk for publication.
The ediet has gone forth from Arthur
Browns headquarters that there is no
way Of judging of the future of certain
party organs, save by the past, and
judging 10y the past it is believed that
penitents and prodigals now returning
to the Hanna fold should be taken on
probation, and not vested with too
much power or prestige the day after
they drift back.
From the standpoint of the faithful
elder brother, Brown and his loyal fol-
lowers demand to know why the favor
tie veal should be slaughtered at pres
ent prices, and the prodigal Tribune
decorated with rings on its fingers and
bells on its toes, when the tried and
faithful want TO take the old homestead
and farm it on the shares.

organ is shaking a silver club at the

the declaration that the gold standard
has caused and is causing ruin and
starvation in India. 1t says;
One-third of the deaths four years ago

it seems from the above statements that
the same is not only true, but intensified
this year. The ordinary transactions in

have them coined into rupees, found. four
years ago. that when they took them and
offered them for food, they could not get

some cruel things. bat the most cruel
thing in all her history IS that she watch

party that has surrendered to the fatal

porary has repeatedly asserted, is the
party it wants to support-in which it
is begging for permission to occupy a
front seat.
