In THIS issue of the HERALD will be
found an essay written by Col. 0. J.
HolIisser in competition for the
Meears Prize. It is one of those
which the awarding committee re-

reading the essay one must heartily
second the suggestion Of the COM
mittee, for the paper is certainly one
of the sblest, clearest, best arranged

on the subject that has ever appeared.
It sets forth the RESOURCES and sttTac-
lions of Utah in a comprehensive and
mastery manner, eyidencing much
care and labor in the collection and
arrangement of the vast amount of
information that is here presented.
Like the prize essay this one will be
sent all over the United States, and
will unquestionably be the means of
doing much good by attracting the
attention of tourists and those seek

unbounded resources. The commu.

ATTORNEY GENERAL MaoVeagh
makes strange excuse, or rather de-
Tense, against the charge tina: through
his neglec: the. etar route prosecutions
were dismissed. His excuse is that
after President GarGeld's death he
(the attorney-general) regarded his
connection with the cases as ended.
The theory is that the prosecution be-
longed 80 the Garfield Administration,
and though it had not fairly begun at
the time, when the Administration
terminated the prosecutions came to
an end. This is certainly strange
line of reasoning to De, advanced by
a man who stands Ut the hesd of the
Law department Of government. By
the same course of reasoning al suits
to which government is g party must
be abandoned at the retirement of a
President. If a succeeding president
desires their replacement on the cal
endar he must order bis law officers
10 beg Z anew, But after all perhaps
Mr.. MacVeagh is right. In
view OF what has tr4nspired
it does begin too look as If these star
route cases belonged exclusively to
the late Administration, and it is
questionable if another admiuiatra-
ton will wansto father them. They
were worked" for all they we're
worth, and all the reform capital that
could be gotten from them was Oh
tanned. James built up something of
q reputation By smeaEing the charac-
tars of Brady, Dorsey, ct al. and now
perhaps the postmaster general, as
well as the &ttorney general, would
like to have the cases regarded as be-
longing to the last Administration,
aud then Ietthsm drop. To so ahead
with them might vindicate the star
routera. in which event, how would
it bs for James. MaOVeagh and the
others who have been indalging il

of frauds, which may not prove
frauds?

upon the directors of financial insti-
tutions where the public money is
deposited. The Mechanics bank
officers are slightly censured for neg
ligeuce, but Baldwin is the thief;
whereas they are in large degree
responsible for his rogueries. He has
been taking the banks money tor
years, during which time perhaps q
scose Of pretended examinations have
been made. The first of them alter

crime and prevented the further los
/ of the $2,000,OO0 which he subse-
queRtly stole. In view of the ire
quency with which cashiers go wrong,
and the TACT that it is almost invsrI'
ably due to the neglect of duty on toe
part of the directors through placing
too much confidence in tile person
who keep the books and manage the
cash, it would be we'll if law were
enacted to make directors criminally
responsible for such thievings as
those of Baldwin. Such law, be-
sides more closely guarding the
money OF deposit0rs, might also keep

good many cashiers, who are now
tempted into wrong h:ough the
opportunities for stealing being forced
in thUir way.

CASHIERS AND CONFIDENCE.

It is unquestionably true that a
large percentage Of the ''shorta" in
bank cashiers accounts, and deial-
cations of treasures and those who
handle other peoples money, are due
to the negligence of the really re-
sponsible parties. The case Of Bald

but ad never thought it worth While
to closely examine the affairs of the

WHAT RIGHT?
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. Il, 81.


Editors Herald:
A favorite query with many ex-
cited Irishmen seems to be,
What right has the Saxon in Ire
land?" Which really is very much
like asking: what right has any
body anywhere anyhow" What
right has the Saxon in England, or
in Germany, or anywhere else ?
What right have Scotchmen in Ire
land, or Irishmen in Scotland, or
either people in either country -?
What right have Irishmen in Eng
land, or in America, or in any other
part of the world? What right has
the Norman in Ireland, or in Eng
land, or in France, or even in Scan
dinavia, seeing that we do not know
his original habitat? What right
have the various peoples of Europe
in Europe? Tradition and specula-
ton bring them from the far east.
Why did they not stay there? But
indeed, what right had they there
even? Why not turn them out of
Europe anyway, as some people are
anxious to do with the 'unspeak-
able Turk ?"
What right has the whiteman in
America at all? He came here and
dispossessed the natives, peaceably if
he could, forcibly if he must-the
method of the higher-toned high
WaYman, That has been the rule with
most migratory and invading peO-
lie IN The beginning, ana OILen AL
hrOugh. the Irish themselves not
xcepted. The Saxon has treated
.de Irish in Ireland no worse than
w whitpman has treated the red
man in America. The Indians have
been plundered, driven, murdered,
.eXterminated, cOoped up in limited
reservations, expected to live in a
way contrary TO their natural hab-
it's and long accustomed modes,
hunted down and shot if they left
the reservation, Indians bribed to
hunt and murder their own flesh
and blood. So what right have the
whites Saxon, MileSian, GauI,
Norseman, Teuton, or Latin, in
America anyhow?
This questioning of the right Of
peoples to be here, there, or any
where is petulantly puerile. AS a
general rule with the peoples of the
earth, they have right to be where
they find themselves, and this idea
Of squeezing OF driving a people out
of any particular part Of the earth
is sheer tyranny. If the Irishman
finds himself in England, Scotland
Wales, France, Spain, or America,
he has a right to be there. If the
Saxon is in Ireland he has a right
to live there in peace and safety,
even if he be a landlord, and no one,
not even a hot blooded and revenge
full Irish tenant, las q right to as
sassinate him.
Ino glta, question with all peo-
pie is not what right have they to
be here or there, but finding them
selves somewhere. now can they best

around them and so conduct them
selves as not to produce III will. en-

enhance the general prosperity?
This is leading question which
many OF the Irish IN Ireland, and
some Of the Irish elsewhere, appa-
rently never dream of asking them
selves. TARA.
