A FUNNY "CO.EDITOR.

According to the logic 60 Of Rev. s..
n. wishard he Is now installed MS CO.
editor Of the salt Lake Tribune, lie Is
doubtless IN congenial company a
writer who pays no attention to the
comenltles OF journalism, but makes

New York Independent, 20 which he
contributed an article recently the
substance Of which was nottenod out
