THE NEws's FALSE CHARGES.

The Descrct News last night came 10
the support Of the Smoot - Mouth,
taking up the latter : false and futile
charge that the American party is re
suonsibIc for the "rcd-light district. -
But the charge is jus; as false when
taken MP by the News as when made by
the " Mouth
The News puts forth the following
as the basis of It's falschood in this
respect:
The American" organ cannot yet away
from tho fact that IL was an american
chief OF police who first publicly proposed
used for a "Stockddc." il cannot get
awav from the fact that another "Amcrl-
cam official publicly iDdorscd the plan
and hv so doing made IL possible 10 carry
II ont. The organ cannot get away from
another damninG fact. that the 'Amcrl-
can police force has done nothing 70
close that sink OF iniqmity. Denlals and
cvasions count for nothing. The facts
speak foT themselves
We are not dcsirous of getting
away" from any facts. In reply TO
the accusation Of tho News. VIC say
that the ill-adyisrd act of AN official
j. not chargeablc against the party
unless the party supports il. In the
case of the chief Of police referred TO,
The Tribune promptly denounced his
proposal. and all the people agreed; I;
there was no American support for IT.
The endorsement of ''thc plan by
''anothcr American official also fell
flat. and WAS rcpudjated expressly by
the American party, and it hasn I been
carried out. Us the court injunction
now being enforced proves.
As TO the third charge of the News,
il is reiterated in another form, fur
thcr on in the same article. where it
SAYS. "The Tribune also contends that
| the police department cannot enforce
tho law. but that this is entirely the
business of the sheriff. or course
we have made no such contention
! What We have said is that the court s

HOW ABOUT THIS GRAFT?

The chief church organ. the Dcscrct
News. is extremely fond and ever ready
to charge graft on the American party
Thus, on Wednesday evening. in con
sidcring the real cause Of the contention
in Utah, it said "Pcacc in Utah would
mean thcrdcath of graft. And often
tho News has come ont in the same
vein with the wholly iudcfensibic
proposition that it is the American
party and the American party alone.
which permits Of graft in the admins,
tration of public affairs.
The News. Of course. was in favor Of
the election of the church Republican
ticket last fall That is the kind of
ticket which IL would like to sec elected
all the time. Ii was a ticket which
was perfectly satisfactory to the liquor
men; it was so entirely satisfactory TO
the church leaders that some of them
declared that the elector who would
vote against it was "traitor to his
church. -
Now. we wish TO call the church or
gan s attention to specific case OF
unquestionable, lawless graft imposed
upon the taxpayers Of This city by tho
very men carried and elected upon that
ticket.
The delinquent tax list was printed
in "thc official organ Of the Republi
can party at The order Of the County
Commissioners The charge for that
printing was about five times the aver.
age amount paid for printing the de-
linquent tax list Of this county for a
number of years past II was a charge
considerably more than double the
amount permitted by law that may
properly be charged and collected from
the dclinquents by the comfy treasurer.
The result is that thousands of dollars
on this delinquent account have 70
be paid by The taxpayers Of this county
who were not delinquent and who are
not. either from a business or a legal
standpoint under any obligation what
ever TO meet any such charge. IT is.
on the contrary. directly in opposition
to law. to public policy, and to public
right, to call upon the taxpayers who
have promptly paid their taxes TO 90
down into their pockets and pay a
bill on account of dclinqucnts who have
not paid their taxes.
This is so plain 4 proposition that
VIC do not suppose any one would care
10 enter into An argument by way Of
dispute.
And now, we put the question square
ly 20 the church organ: Does il think
this was graft? If so, does it consider
that it was American graft? is black
graft made white and dclightsome when
perpetrated by its friends? An early
reply will be much appreciated.

But since il was the retailers whose

we should never mind the retailer for
the retailer is the very person that we
deal with, and that we must mind.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.

il is unfortunate for the victims of
the brutal and conscienccless system of
polygamy that the victims of It's ulti-
mate distress have no redress. If they
appeal 10 the church. the cold shoulder
is turned. If they appeal ia the law.
they have no standing in the courts.

being under the ban. II they turn TO

paign.
The object of these meetings is TO
feel the public pulse in way. and find
out whether it would be popular to uu-
dertakc TO handle the church votes in
both parties IN combination. Ii is. in
q way. an alluring plan to the church
schcmcrs. They figure that by uniting
the Republican and Democratic parties
in the municipal campaign. there would
be votes enough 10 win: and the scheme
looks good 10 them-on paper, but then
comes in the dreadful thought that per-
haps if they undertake TO combine
these votes. the voters might not oh
serve the old party lines, since tho
church itself has broken down those
lines; and that is what holds back the
hierarchy from committing itself to
the scheme of combination. II is fas.
cinatcd by the scheme, but afraid IL
won't work.
At the last municipal election the
American party had practically rs
MANY votes as both of the old parties
combined. Every one knows that il
the two old parties had undertaken TO
combine at that time, against the
American party, the American party
would have triumphcd over both. And
in speaking Of the fact that the Amer
lean party was cuchcrcd and film
ilammcd out of the election last fall.
the fact remains that il is now stronger
than ever. Tho dirty combination Of
tcrcsis, the manipulation Of tho voting
machines. and the fact that it was
Presidential election, made triple
combination which tho American party
could not overcome. We doubt il the
