INSULT TO EVERYBODY.

Inquiry among the attorneys on Mon
day developed the fact that every law
yer spoken to was not only surprised
that Jacob S. Boreman had been NOM
mated for an associate justiceship of
this Territory, but all were emphatic
ally opposed to it. When it was ru-
mored some weeks ago that Foreman
would be an application the place upon
| the retirement of Twiss, the lawyers
laughed at the suggestion, no one think
! ing it possible that the man could get
the Office. If there had been any idea
that he could secure the appointment,
protest would have appeared containing
the names of nine-tenths of the Utah
bar, while the public opposition
would have been equally as pronounced.
This objection IS not based upon any
fimsy ground, nor is it confined to any
class; it comes from years of expert
ence with him on the bench, and is
general throughout the bar and the
community. He is without.the know
ledge Of law that a judge should possess.
being recognized among his brother at
torneys as among the least learned Of
those i'll the profession. Beginners
have found him a weak opponent at the
bar, as lawyers found him a dangerous
man on the bench on account of his
ignorance of the law.
His appointment cannot be regarded T
in any other light than as a gross abuse
of power and as an insult to the bar
and people of Utah, as well as an in
fiction upon them. Four years he has
been trying topractice law, and his fail.
ure is one of the most pronounced that
has ever occurred here; the failure was
due to no personal prejudice, but attri-
buted to the general knowledge of the
fact that he was not familiar with the
practice. To elevate such a person to
the bench seems outrageous in the ex-
treme, and suggests that the President
has been deceived as to Boreman's
ability, or has given him the office to
cancel an obligation due to sumo person

IT Is reported that Brush has recently
completed an electric light, which
promises to put his other in the shade,
and finally revolutionizes electric illu-
mination. The new light has an illumi-
mating power equal to 100000 candles,
or fifty times that of an ordinary
electric light for street lighting. 1t is
run by forty horse power engine and
the intensity of the heat guaranteed be-
tween the two carbon points, which
are two and One-half inches in diameter
Is 100000 degrees, or "one-nineteenth OF
the estimated heat of the sun" In
other words, an electric light ninety
times as powerful would give light
equal to that of the sun. The new
lamp is soon to be placed on exhibition
in Cleveland.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The course being pursued by the man
ayers of the Denver q Rio Grande
Western with reference to the late de-
pIorable casualty on their road, is one
that will commend itself TO the people as
the right action to take, and it should
have a beneficial effect upon other
railroad managers. Mr. Bancroft and
associates are doing all in their power to
fasten. the responsibility for the cat
astrophe where it belongs, and not
only this, but they are exerting them
selves to punish the guilty for their
crime of negligence or rechessness.
This is precisely as it should be. Some
person or persons have, through crimi-
nal carelessness or daring, caused the
death of three persons; whoever
the guilty parties may be
they are deserving of the severe
punishment prescribed by the law, and
1t is fitting that the managers of the
road should be most active in the
matter of having the law applied.
THE HERALD mentions this because it
is somewhat outside the regular order
of things. The course usually followed |
by railroad officials is to stand by their
employees as against the public, the
latter being held to have no rights
which railroads should respect.
In this connection it is not out OF the
way to suggest that few accidents"
would occur on the railroads if gil
gent employees were investigated and
punished by discharge from service,
whether OF not their carelessness
results in disaster. Railroad men are
aware that the rules are almost
daily violated. as they were by the CON !
ductor and engineer who .are now I'M '
der examination for last weeks disas- I
ter; if no harm comes from the disre- l
gard, all goes well, the reckless not be- t
ing even censured. If that Inflated '
work train had reached the gravel-bed t
siding before the freight train passed, it '
is questionable whether anyone would
have heard of the recklessness, and the
and conductor might have gone {
on for years without censure, daily risk |
ing the lives of those who were placed {
at their mercy. I
We heartily commend the present ac- I
ton of Receiver Bancroft, and hope he {
will be able to fasten the guilt where it {
belongs; at the same time, we hope he 7
and other railroad managers will punish
violations of orders that are not at t
tended by such terrible consequences as s
have followed in the case now under in /
vestigation.

AHANDFUL oF RLossoMs.

1t was happy thought of the artist
who a few years ago hit upon the idea
of these pretty Illuminated and silk
fringed flexible covers for cards
and poems; and how that idea
has since been improved upon and
elaborated to its highest point of ex-
ceIlence. "a Handful of Blossoms" is
a collection of poems illustrative of the
poets admiration of apple blossoms,
morning gIories, whiete clover aud
violets and poppies and what, beautiful
sprigs or boquets of which are shown in
all the perfection of coloring and cor
rectness of tint to which art is equal
when it attempts to copy nature;
and the cover is one of those wonders
of artistic beauty in silver
and color and silk fringe which
are so attractive at all seasons and so
enticing at holiday times. White,
