BAIL.

The Court i'm the case OF Hampton re-
fused yesterday to let the defendant out
on bail pending his appeal. This was to
be expected because the Court but fol-
lows the law OF the Territory in this mat
ter. Section 3SS OF the Criminal Practice
Act OF 1873 makes bail matter OF discre-
tion with the Court where the punish
ment is by imprisonment. To entitle n
defendant to bail after conviction and
pending appeal, there must be good and
sufficient reason shown for allowing it.
The reason did not exist in the Hampton
case, SO bail was denied.
Our Criminal Practice Act is but u copy
OF the California Criminal Practice Act,
md it is safe to say that the Legislature
adopting that Act was ignorant OF the true
construction of the clause relating TO bail.
This does not alter the fact that bail,
where a conviction has been had and an
appeal taken, is not a matter OF right,
but matter Of discretion. 1t should be
matter Of right where an appeal is
allowed and the offense is not n capital
crime nor imprisonment for life; and that
this should be so there is no need to
look for any other reason than the
fact that there are sufficient grounds
for allowing an appeal. The
basis OF an appeal is that there is proba-
BILE error in the trial, and SO long as this
probability exists defendant should be
given his liberty upon furnishing the re-
quired security. The trainers of the Con-
stitution were careful to insert in that in
sive bail shall not be required. The
reason for this provision was that the
courts of England had often placed the
bail OF defendants at so great an amount
that 1t was an absolute impossibility for
defendant to furnish it, and it had been
placed ut such an amount that defend
ants could not furnish bail, thereby
giving plausible excuse for holding
in the Constitution was for the
purpose OF giving protection 10 the indi-
vidual, the first great care and solicitude
OF free State being the preservation OF
the rights and liberty OF the citizen. II
it was wise precaution to insert in the
Constitution this provision against re.
quiring excessive bail, is it not
hardship and wrong agains,
every citizen to make the matter Of
bail pending an appeal discretion in
stead OF right? The interest Of the
State in OBTAINING prisoner after he is
convicted and pending the appeal oi
his case, is that the State may
have custody of him in case it is decided
that he has been tried and convicted ac
cording to law and that he may then
suffer the penalty for his his offense. Il
the State is assured that it can have the
custody OF his person upon demand
where is the necessity for the State hay
ing the prisoner under its immediate
control? The bail is the guaranty thai
the prisoner will respond to any order o
the court. Bail has ever been considered
a safe guaranty ior this respone, ant
that the Legislature OF Utah has not sc
considered it is shame and disgrace tt
the Territory. We sincerely hope tina
when the Legislature which convenei
two weeks and half hence, one OF thu
first measures passed by it will be re
peal OF section 3SS of the Criminal Prac
tice Act OF 1878.

ARSON IN COLORADO.

Considerable property Of the Marshall
Coal Company's works at Erie, Colorado,
has been destroyed by incendiary fire,
Some weeks ago this company reduced
the wages of the men working in the
mines, and the Knights Of Labor ordered
strike in consequence. 1t being the in
hospitable season OF the year,the miners,
rather than be without work, refused to
obey the order to strike, but continued at
their work. The result Of their assertion
of their independence and manhood is
the burning of the property OF the COM
pany in whose employ they remained.
Is IL possible to conceive of a more
cowardly and dastardly act than
the burning Of this property because
the miners continued to work after they
had been ordered to striker 1t is claimed
by those who organize such associations
us the Knights OF Labor that they are
organized for the benefit and protection
Of the workingmen against monopolies
and capitalists. In so far as they render
this benefit and give this protection they
are worthy, but the price which they ask
seems to be an absolute surrender of the
body and soul Of the workingman. The
man who takes the benefit and protection
| of these associations at such price pays
too much for his whistle. The trouble
with labor organizations is that they arc
very liable to become SO extensive and SC
powerful that they are very soon trans
formed into engines Of oppression and
tyranny. Ii a member OF one OF these
wishes to act for himself and such action
does not suit the organization to which he
belongs, the organization turns upon hin
and seeks to crush him, merely because
he has assumed to assert his manhood
1t would be well for the workingmen wht
join such associations to remember tina
il Mephistopheles gives Faust new
lease Of life, with power and permission
to do AS and go where he pleased for ,
certain time, that Mephistopheles vii
make his demand the day when Faust
promise is to be fulfilled.

AN IMPERrINENr CONSUL,

Mr.. Jacob Mueller, American consul at
Frankfort ont he-Main ought to have known
better than to allow the publication in a
newspaper of such dissertation on the Ger
man government and people as he has re-
Gently delivered himself of. For him to be
of any use to the American government
whose representative he is it is necessary for
him to be on amicable terms with the
government and people of the country where
he is located. Minister Sargent's experience
ought to have taught him so much. That
official, it will be remembered, sent to the
State department letter in regard to the
refusal of Germany to admit the American
hog which contained some severe structures
on the Kaiser's government The State de-
partment with an imprndence that was
amazing allowed this report, which was in
tended to be strictly confidential, to be made
public. The German government naturally
took umbrage at it and visited its resentment
upon our minister by giving him the cold
shoulder whenever opportunity afforded. In
course of time Mr.. Sargent was frozen out
and compelled to return home. In the case
of Mr.. Sargent the blunder was not his
but the State departments.
MI. Ou Glt COuGIdIJ, 566UlS 10 DG
solely responsible for the unpleasant predic-
ament in which he is destined to find him
self. The first knowledge the State depart
ment had that he had been giving the Ger
man government a setting-up came from the
newspapers which appear to have got hold
OF his report, doubtless by his connivance,
before it reached Mr.. Bayard. The report
referred to is filed with uncomplimentary
illusions to the government to which he is
accredited, describing it as weak and two
faced, and drifting towards anarchy. OF
course Bismarck isn't pleased with this sort
Of talk and is disposed to make a fuss with
the government that allows its agent to in
dulge in it officially. We cannot blame him.
If the facts were reversed and German con-
sui at some American port had sent to the
German newspapers an official report max
ing similar allegations against the govern
ment of the United States we should look
upon him as a very impertinent person and
insist upon his immediate recall. Ii the Ger
man government takes similar view In Mr..
Mueler's case we ought not to complain.
Possibly Mr. Mueller has fallen into his
blunder by reason of reading the stirring re-
Duke Secretary Bayard administered to the
Austrian government for refusing to receive
Mr.. Kelley. Hemay have inferred from
that that a part of the business of our
diplomacy is to show up the rottenness of
the effete monarchies of Europe.

Senator Cameron's bill for the erection OF
two large gun factories, one for the army at
Watervliet and one for the navy at Wash
ington has already been approved by many
Democrats especially by the friends of
Samuel J. Tilden, as the first practical
measure toward the adequate protection of
our sea coast which has yet been proposed.
The bill not only provides for the erection of
the two factories at cost Of about 81, 900, :
600 each, but also provides for the purchase
of about 10000 tons of tempered steel from
private firms to be converted into cannon.
In an article supporting the bill the New
York Sun gives rough estimate of the con-
templated work, and indicates how impor-
tant an industry these factories will create
in the localities where they are established.
Says the Sun:
With the vast work in gun cOnStruc ton now
necessary the orders for the rough material con-
templated will soon have to be followed by others
Three or four hundred guns of various calibres
are now required for our forts and ships, and
some of these are to be very heavy, weighing 100
tons each. The carriages and supports are also
to be provided, and then the projectiles Plans,
too, are under consideration for armored ships
and floating batteries. AS for the new system of
steel turrets for harbors, this alone would de-
mand an enormous weight of metal. Thus it is
clear that the orders guaranteed In Mr.. Camerons
bill are only preliminary. Each of the proposed
cording to the estimate of the gun foundry board,

1nch and SO of the 6-inch, at an annual expense
of about two million dollars

Inasmucb as the Democratic and not the Re-
publican party is not responsible for federal
appointments, we think it the wiSest course for
our Maine Senators to leave the President entire
ly free to select his executive officers from the
ranks OF his party and of the particular stripe
of partisans most pleasing to his fancy. Senator
ia interference is only obstructive at best, and in
the end if the President has 1.-THE of the pluck
with which he is credited, he is sure to win in any
such controversy.-Br idgton News.
The News is wrong in its assumption that
the Democratic party is alone responsible
for appointments. The Senate which is Re
publican shares the responsibility in the
case of officers who must be confirmed by it,
and it cannot shirk it, if it would. 1t
would be just as wrong and just as impolitic
for the Senate to consent to the appointment
of man whose bad character or want of ca
pacity rendered him unfit, as to refuse its
consent when the nominee was good and
capable man merely because he was Dem
ocrat. The true rule is to consider every APP
pointment on its individual merits. While
it will be bad policy to reject men simply on
account of their politics it will be just as bad
to confirm unfit men for the purpose Of
throwing discredit upon the Democratic ex-
cutiYe

sents the Hon. Samuel S. Cox as exceedingly
unhappy and anxious to get away. He is
very lonely and longs to get back into

said that in this respect the Turks resemble
many other people.

it has been a good deal higher than under the
