AN ARTFUL DoDGER.

tions brought up by itself, but in il
issue of March 18th, that identic,
journal becomes an Artful Dodge
and glides to one subject, in orde
to avoid another, with all the finishe
ease of the most slippery and I'm
: scrupulous sheet that might b
named. 1t advises the SIGNAL t.
Gift its eyes from so petty surround
ings and try to take in larger Wis

before it can be rated as one of tn,
. first class powers of the earth" ant
says if this paper "will take tina
larger view, it will prevent its making
some very great mistakes on petit,
themes. Now by the Eternal God.
OF Truth, the SIGNAL did but discuss
the matters set up by the Tribune
and asked some questions pertinen,
to Its own editorial on uFallino
Prices Abroad" and wherefore does
it now find that to be a "petty
theme?" And not one of those
questions does it pretend to shed any
light upon. 1t refuses to explain
propositions set before the readers
OF its editorial pages. Great paper
as 1T claims to be, it cannot, or will
not, explain what will prevent the
contagion of "falling prices cross
ing the Atlantic, how it makes out
that 540 millions of gold can take the
place of four billion of demonetized
silver or what is to prevent the 1000
million OF extra money, now said to
be in this country, from flowing back
whence 1T came or what will be orr
condition when it does flow hack
1t passes all that with the offhand
remark that the SIGNAL "keeps up its
CHATTER and is inconsolable that the
tribune does not harp upon the
restoration of silver every day.

matter is to the Tribune) and then
launches of into very able and
beautiful discourse upon the buildino

that editor will get Charles Dickens

"Chatham Dock Yard" be will find

has ever been written of the buildino

thoughts it will add to those he al. |

around from the fronto other trouble.
some proposition that will from time
to time come to the Tribune.
Our Salt Lake contemporary gives
the SIGNAL this spiteful thrust:
we fear that journal that is so con.
'inced that somebody has sold out Is a
lttie OIL anxious to be corrupted itself
aonest men do not suspect other men
IL wrongdoing until there is some an
parent proof.
In 1896 the Tribune was prolific with
UGH remarks as these: zone bv one
hey enlisted the great newspapers on
heir side;" cat the same time tho
reat reliance of the people the
metropolitan press, began to be the {
rgans of the rich, began to repose s
them all the virtues and to deride
nd denounce all who opposed the

under sanction of the law -
the crime brought about by few :

press" ''they do it by looking r
Use and deploring the wickedness of ;,

'cessary to carry each presidential r.

Baltimore have ever since endors. .
the gigantic robbery and their :,

OF stop thief while their pockets .,
