Tns s@sggez in Por.-Nsesss'ty for
/ Increased Vigilance ON the Fart Oh
tho Authorities. - ~
The arrival in our harbor of the emigrant
ship Athena, from Bremen, with number of
the passengers suffering from smallpox, is
timely warning to the health authorities to
adopt precautionary measures to prevent the
spread OF this loathsome disease. In cases
like that of the Athena q long and strict
quarantine for all on board ought to be en-
forced. According to the confession of the
captain the violence of the outbreak of small
pox was directly traceable to the want Of sani-
tary precautions. He asserts That the I'M
clearly habits Of the passengers compelled
him to have recourse to violent measures in
order to enforce cleanliness. It is, however,
evident on his own showing that proper pre-
cautions had not been adopted in the first
instance, as the passengers were allowed to
indulge in their dirty habits unmolested until
disease had made its appearance. The sudden
anxiety of the captain then arose simply
from fear of quarantine, and we hope
of the laxity of discipline and want of system
which have led to such deplorable results.
Twenty-seven human victims have already
been sacrificed to the selfish cupidity of the
ship owners, and twenty-five more lie in a
precarious state in the Ward Island Hospital.
These facts would be enough to justify the au-
thorities in furnishing the responsible parties;
but the danger involved to the health of our
citizens is a further and still stronger reason
for an example being made. We must not be
made to suffer from the cupidity of foreign
shipping agents. and, as pretty effective means
are in our hands to check the evil, we ought to
use them in whatever way promises to be most
effective. The stringency Of the quarantine
rules ought to be increased and the power Of
detention exercised to the fullest extent of the
law This is necessary for our own safety and
to guard the city from large monetary
its appearance in virulent form
during the present heated term it would be
almost certain to spread with great rapidly No
consideration for the possible losses which
strict quarantine would infict on those respon-
sible for the importation Of disease should
weigh for a moment with the authorities.
Their duty is to protect our immense crowded
population, and every other interest should be
sacrificed to this paramount one The public
mind will not fail to be alarmed when ar
rival of the infection in an unusually virulent
form becomes known. It is, therefore, the
duty Of the health authorities to take steps to
reassure the people by the adoption of such
strict quarantine measures as will effectually
prevent the spread Of the contagion.

The Steamship Baltimore-The Wreck
and It's Lesson.

One important fact connected with the mis-
fortune which befell the steamship Baltimore
has not been sufficiently noticed by the Ameri-
can press. After the collision the crew Of the
Baltimore attempted to lower her boats, but
the tackle used for that purpose would
not work, and the boats could not be foated.
But for the prompt arrival of the Hastings
coast guard, and the skill and management
which they displayed, the loss of life must
have been fearful. To this piece of intelli-
gence we cannot afford to be Indifferent. Our
people are now crossing and recrossing the
Atlantic by thousands month. We must be
satisfied that the means of transit are safe not
only up to the last point Of promise, but up to
the last point of possibility. The steamships
which ply the Atlantic and carry passengers
must be brought under the most stringent OBJ
legations; and the Atlantic steamship lines,
when they are found wanting, must submit to
the consequences. The lesson read by the
Baltimore cannot but have the effect of max
ing passengers timid, and it is our earnest hope
that the directors of the various Atlantic
steamship lines will read the lesson and give

The SPANISH MINISTERIAL "SLATE" IN
MADRID. Spanish Cabinet crisis ap-
pears to have terminated at late hour yester-
day evening in so far as the finding Of a
Premier is concerned. Admiral Topete con-
scented to attempt to steer the ship Of state by
accepting the chief portfolio of the Ministry.
A estate of his probable appointments of
colleagues in she council was telegraphed to us
from Madrid last night and is published in the
HERALD today Premier Topete will, it is
said, be succeeded in the Ministry of War by
Marshal Serrano, so that we may expect that
the course of public affairs will go on smoothly
again for Amadeus, despite the fact that the
Carlists continue viciously active in some Of
the provinces of the kingdom.

relative to this victim Of Spanish atrocity, is

American; yet, with all the facts before him,
our Secretary of State has been more the
apologist of this cruelty and indignity of

APPLICABLE EVERYWHERE

The following Is from recent num-
 Der of The Alta California, and is ap- plicable everywhere to a greater ex- tent than 1t should be:
 Said the great Edmund Burke once, i'll reference to the processes of courts and the treatment of criminals, "Your
 proceedings in criminal courts are "wrong, for the reason that they con- mence in anger, and by delay end "'in indifference. To paralyze the arm ''of the assassin, justice should be ad- ministered speedily, as we'll as surely" An observer iu San Fran cisco, can but appreciate the truth ut tered by the great statesman and orator. How many cases have dwin- dled from an unprovoked mirdor to manslaughter, or to acquittal, through the weary ordeal, the delay, the ab- sence of testimony, the death, perhaps, of witnesses, the indifference that grows from delay, and from the in huence of new events and later excite ments. A crime is committed, citi- zen is murdered, the assassin IS ar rested, imprisoned, after while IS indicted, the question of the trial is taken up. the Judge thinks over it, sleeps over 1t, and at great leisure fixes trial apparently n the far thest possible future; counsel rack their brains for arguments in favor of delay the trial is again and again postponed, finally trial is had, per haps 0 conviction, and then follow ap- peals for new trials to a Court that is fond of looking for quibbles that may serve as points for giving counsel op- portunities for obtaining new fees new trials, and old rascals l by some lapse of law, evi- dence or other accident. Thus, scoun- drels are turned loose upon the public who should be breaking stone at San Quentin, or gracing @ rope in the jail yard.

The Diamond Business.

Messrs. Pittar, Leverson S Co. state: The excitement caused by the alleged discoveries of diamonds and other precious stones i'll very large quanti- ties in Arizona Territory, in the United States, is now pretty generally be- ieved to be gigantic hoax, or, per- haps, an attempt at something worse. Diamond merchants, however, having once become seized with the idea that the United States are destined to over stock the world with the article in which they deal, have difficulty in divesting their minds of the fear that such may be the case, despite the doubt and mystery in which the orig inal statements are involved, and the strong indirect but internal evil dence of their untruth. They say, with plausibility, "the discoveries at the Cape were not believed in for one, two or three years after they were first made, and we did not really believe in them until large supplies gave over whelmiug evidence of their existence" But an eminent London banking firm having received a consignment of diamonds and precious stones from San Francisco, was instructed to sub
 nit them to our inspection and verifi- cation. The consignment consisted of rough diamonds. carbonate, rough sapphires, and rubies of some few thousand pounds in value, and of sev- eral bags of small. common garnets without value. The result of our ex- animation IS a firm opinion that these stones, as exhibited to us, were not the produce of Arizona Territory, or of any one district, but that Birmah, Brazil and Ceylon had been laid under tribute to create the supposed riches of Arizona. This opinion IS ar- rived at, not simply because the stones exhibited to us resem ble the produc- tion Of the countries above named, but because 1t Is totally unprecedented and highly improbable that diamonds, sapphires, and rubies should be found together in natural state. We, therefore, incline to the belief that the whole story of the Arizona discoveries is hoax, and even should 1t turn out to be true that that country IS dia- mondiferous, we should still be ztrong- ly of the opinion that the mineral wealth of other countries has been drawn upon to increase the apparent value of the deposits pretended to have been discoverd. Dismissing the sub- ject of Arizona, we proceed to our re- port of the diamond market. Pure and well-formed stones, of small sizes, say two carats each and under, of fair, fne quality, are in steady request, and the prices are well maintained. Simi- lar stones up to ten carats each are Ill moderate request, but prices are some what given away. Larger Off-color stones have declined considerably in value Yellow stones are more and more difficult of sale and values have fallen. Common cleavage is q drug in the market. Good and large cleavage is saleable at slight reduc- ton from recent rates. - London Mail, Oct 4

Chief Justice Titus.

The Salt Lake Herald, a Mormon journal, in its issue of October l5, pays the following deserved compliments to Arizona's Chief Justice
 Among the arrivals in town yester- day was Judge John Titus, formerly Chief Justice of this Territory and now holding the same office in Ari- zona. Judge Titus Is @ man of strong feeling and prejudices, but @ sound lawyer and so honest that no prejudice can make him swerve from 0 just in depreciation of the law as he under stands it.. In this respect he is star of the first magnitude when compared with judges who glimmer like far thing rushhghts while surrounded with an atmosphere of partisan preiu- dice and corruption that make them 8 stench among honorable men. We have sat in Judge Titus court day after day reporting, we have noted ex- captions taken to his rulings and decis- ions, we have heard him express his strong antipethy to Mormonism; but we have never seen him decide other than according to law and his deci- sions could have been accepted as valuable precedents by the judiciary of this Territory during the past two years, much to the advantage and credit of those now occupying posi- ti0ns on the bench here; for just as fer as they have travelled from his decisions just so far have they fallen into disgrace before the enlightened men of the country. We bear this rec ord of Q man whow we esteem for his sterling honesty and rigid adherence to law, however much we may dislike his opinions or disregard his pre- iudices, and we bid him & hearty wei come to Salt Lake City.

BIB. T. c. HOOKER, whose business recently led him into Mohave county,
 brings favorable accounts of the Wal lapai mines. A large mercantile busi- ness is carried on there, and all seem confident that the district Is one of great mineral wealth. Some very large returns of silver have been ob- tained from ore worked in the mills. W. H. Hardy's mill is at work all the time, and the need of other mills Is pressing and will soon be supplied.
 MT. Hooker also reports $ party of men at work with arra8tres in the to the right of the road leading from Wickenburg to Date Creek, and that they are getting $10O per ton-that 6 recent clean-up of several tons gave that average. He also reports that the 1O-stamp quartz mill in Wiokenburg is being moved a short distance down the Hassayampa, and put up to crush ore from an ex- -ension of the Yulure; also that the Yulture mine and mill is expected, by Mir. 5. Sexton, to soon be put in ope- 'atios again under favorable condi- ions
 All IL all, Arizona has as bright an outlook as could be expected under all he circumstances.
