IF 1T WERE POSSIBLE.

Ii it were possible, we should be de-
lighted to see a criminal case prosecuted
in Utah in which the one or the other
party here would not say it was con-
spiracy. This will never be until the
Savior comes to reign thousand years,
and it can't even be then, for then every
body will be so good that it will be impos-
sible for them to sin, and not shining,
they cannot be prosecuted. No, Utah
will never have an impartial prosecution,
and truthfully may the entire people OF
Utah cry, ''rhere is no health in
us" There are only one or two
men who could be tried, in Utah
without the charge oil conspiracy being
made. These two men are the Wander
ing Jew and old man Bender. Once the
martyr editor OF the .Nems definitely
located old man Bender, with the aid OF
patent phrenological crime indicator, but
just rs the charter and writ were about
complete, the old man proved case OF
mistaken identity, The Wandering jew
has not yet put in an appearance, but he
may be expected any moment. Now, if
either OF these parties could be caught,
we might have an impartial trial for once
in our history, for of the guilt of either OF
the above-named individuals there can
be no doubt.
When the Federal officials prosecute
violators OF the Edmunds law it is a con-
spiracy, because those who are prosecu-
ted and their friends say it is conspir-
acy. When the city authorities undertake
TO prosecute the violators OF local ordi-
nance II is conspiracy, because those
who are prosecuted and their friends say
it is conspiracy. II city ordinance is
held by the District Court to be insufIi-
cient to warrant the bringing of prosecu-
tions for certain crimes, it is conspiracy
on the part OF the District Court to shield
particular people, ii we may believe the
NeWs and the Herald. Ii "ine and
stalwart young man, deeply respected
and widely known" attacks Deputy
Marshal in dark alley and the
Deputy defends himself and shoots his
assailant, this is a conspiracy, and causes
the Tribune and the alarmists to cry out
for martial law.
We sincerely regret that the conspir-
acies to punish violators of the Ednunds
law and yiolators of the city ordinances
have 30 woetully miscarried. Is it not

the bad instincts OF the low and base.
Such evidence can only tend to debauch
the minds OF the youth Of both sexes,
while TO those OF mature years such evil
dence as will necessarily be introduced
will be disgusting and sickening in the
extreme. For this reason, and in the
general interest Of decency and morality,
we trust the Court will exclude the
public from these trials, and forbid
the presence of newspaper reporters
Whether the Court has power to do
this is doubtful, although it can in certain
cases enumerated in Sec. so, ch. VI. Ses-
sion laws, 1884, but whether this section
will cover the present cases is doubtful.
Ii the power is in the Court, we hope the
Court will use it as we have suggested.
Such trials are obscene, and when they
are public and all the details are given in
the daily papers, to the extent Of the re-
ports of such trials, the daily papers be.
come the means of spreading obscene
literature. The Beecher trial kept the
papers filled with obscene literature for
months, and so familiarized the public
with sexual crime that the public lost
much OF its just horror of such crimes.
The Pail Mall Gazette proceedings is
another instance OF the same kind.
When these trials come off. let the court
room doors be closed,

NOT FORBIDDEN.

As we anticipated, Commissioner
Sparks has made no order forbidding the
cutting OF timber save by the individual
who was going to use it. Such an order
would have been foolish in the extreme,
and we never once gave any credence to
the rumor that it had been made or would
be made. To credit such rumor was to
doubt the sanity OF the Commissioner OF
the Land Office The rules of the In
terror Department in regard to land
and timber are entirely unsatisfactory,
and to act in accordance with the
rule OF to-day is liable to be a
breach OF some rule tomorrow. The
rules seems to be made in accordance
with mere whims, and sometimes the
whims are good and sometimes they are
bad, but they are always inconstant.
From the rules that are promulgated
from the Interior Department from time
to time, one would imagine that the
country was passing from the glacial
epoch to the full glory OF the nineteenth
century all i'm n year or two. The rules,
whatever they are, should be fixed and
should not be continually changing This
applies to timber as we'll ~ to
land, but just at present the
timber question is uppermost in
Utah and the adjoining Territories.
The Delegate from Utah, as well as the
Delegates from Idaho and Montana,
should interest himself in this mat
ter, for the interests OF large number OF
his constituents are dependent upon
the timber supply in the mountains and
the ease or difficulty with which it can be
had. The Government should preserve
the timber from waste and destruction,
and perhaps from being cut for export
purposes from the Territories, but the
mine owners and all interested in mines
and the general welfare OF the Territories,
should aid the Government in preserving
the timber in the mountains. Much of
the timber is destroyed by fire, but the
fires, as rule, are the result OF careless
ness, and could easily be prevented.
Campers and prospectors should never
allow fire to remain after they quit
camp or start on their journey. Cannot
our local Legislature do something to
preserve the timber from wanton destruc-
tion, and especially around the heads OF
the various mountain streams from which
the water supply comes? Something
should be done, or it will not be many
years before the Territory will be with
ont water or timber.

GIVE UTAH A GOVERNMENT
BUILDING.

The Ne,0s of last night contained
communication from some one who signs
himself "Inkbottle," in which the cor
respondent made the following asser-
ton:
It is positive fact and can be proven that
only within few months ago, the building
where the Federal court room and offices are
located, contained twenty-five harlots. Had
their tenancy of that building anything to
do with the Federal officials ?
II that assertion is true, it certainly
reflects more upon the owners of the
buildings where the Federal court room
and offices are, than upon the Federal
officials. That building, the Wasatch
Hotel, is not a fit place for the Federal
court room, whether the assertion OF
Inkhottle" is true or not, and the Gov
ernment ought to remove all its offices
from it. No private building that the
Government may hire will be adequate
to the needs of the Government, and
what the Government should do is to
erect building for its own use.
The Government has to hire court
room, which necessarily calls for
jury room, Judges chambers and
Marshal's office. But this is not all.
There has to be postoflice, and there
have to be other offices, such as the Sec
retarys Office, Surveyor-General's office,
land office, Collector OF Internal Rev.
enue's Office and the Utah Commissions 3
office. These offices should all be to-
gether, both for the convenience of the
public and the officers. This building
should be apart by itself and have plenty
OF space around it, and should be abso-
lutely under the control OF the Govern
ment, and being under the control of the
Government, the condition of things
which "Inkbottle" says exists in the
building where the court room now is,
would never exist in Government build
ing. 1t is a disgrace to the
Government that its court room
should be in building about
which such an assertion as that OF "Ink-
bottles" can be made with any degree of
truth. The thing to do under the cir
cumstances is for the Government to re-
move all of its offices from such, build
ing rs soon as its present lease is up, and
get into more respectable quarters. AZ
ter this, the thing to do is for the Govern
ment to put up building for its own use,
and it would be money in the pocket of
the Government, as the rent it now pays
is greater than the interest on the money
it would take to put up such building
as becomes the Government, would be.

INCREASE THE ARMY.


General schofeld thinks the army
should be increased. His chief reason
for wanting it increased is on account oil
the danger OF an Indian outbreak at any
time. If all the Indians in the country
were to band together and start on the
war path simultaneously, no doubt many
would be killed and all settlers in close
proximity would be in danger. But
there is not the remotest chance OF any
such thing occurring. A Pontiac's war
is an impossibility to-day. The dam
ger Of great Indian war cannot
possibly be 80 great now rs twenty years
ago, and still twenty years ago the country
got along very well. That the Indians
are more concentrated now but makes it
so much easier for the Government to
deal promptly and effectively with them
in case of hostilties. Indian outbreaks
are always sudden and usually OF short
DURATION and to increase the army to
$4,000 men would not prevent such out
breaks, unless they were mostly quartered
near the Indians. The Indians have de-
creased in numbers ii anything, while
the whites have increased beyond prece-
dent, and their increase cannot possibly
have added to their danger from the
Indians.
General Schoiield says that in country
of50, ,0O0,0 900 inhabitants $4,000 men would
be small army to be retained with sole
reference to possible foreign wars. II the
army is to be kept on footing that would
guarantee the country against invasion in
case Of n foreign war, then $4,000 men is
entirely too small Il number. But the
country anticipates no possible foreign
war, and this is no excuse for increasing
the army. Nor is it the duty OF the
General Government TO police the
States, that being the duty OF
the States. The Government should
keep sufficient supply of arms
and ammunition on hand in case of any
unforeseen emergency, but it should not
keep men enlisted to bear the arms. The
Military Academy should always be kept
"P, ior uPoii iVs ohiceiS ihus' any arIhy
rely for its efficiency when in the field.
Likewise the Naval Academy should fur
nish the Government a supply OF naval
officers OF the highest grade. The cav
ling Of some about the Military and
Naval Academies being but places in
which to educate class who never be-
come of the people is all silly talk. There
is no need to increase the army, and the
apprehensions OF General Schofeld are
the apprehensions OF his profession, which
holds the theory that there is no safety
without soldier.

CLOSE THE DOORS.

1t is probable that there will be quite
number of trials OF lewd women for
keeping houses of i'll fame. This is right
and proper, and it is 10 be hoped that all
such keepers may be tried and punished
to the full extent OF the law. Such
punishment would be in the interest of
morality generally, but it cannot be to the
public interest that all these trials be
open and notorious, and that all
the disgusting details that will necessar-
lily be introduced in the evidence be made
public, for, II they are, they will but feed
