HON. T. II. KARSkADON.
Talking Prohibition in New York


From column account in the
Elmira, N. Y. Gazette, of Oct. 81,
we clip the following extracts,
showing that West Virginia's voice
is being heard in the Empire State,
"For God and Home and Native
Land
Reporting the Elmira meeting,
the Gazftte, says:
A band discoursed music in the
vestibule of the opera house, while
the assembly was gathering. Hon.
T. R. Carskadon, who was to adj
dress the meeting, held kind of
levee near the entrance while the
audience was assembling. He was
surrounded by several Of the prom
inent men of the party, and as
other noted Prohibitionists entered
they were captured and presented
to the speaker. Mr.. Carskadon is
a man Of considerable note in his
state, West Virginia. He took a
prominent part in the formation of
the state government during the
war, and was on the Blaine elector-
al ticket during the last Presiden-
tial contest. To a Gazette represen-
tative he stated that he had been
canvassing the state of Ohio, and
expressed himself much pleased
with the increased vote the Prohi-
bition party polled. at is sure
and steady growth" he said, "None
who come out for Prohibition ever
go back. After enduring so much
persecution they can't do it.
Besides they are men of conviction,
who work for Prohibition be-
because they think it is right and
their opinions are not easily chang
ed.
The meeting was called to order
by Rev. DR.. Ball. Rev. Mr.. Shaw
of North Elmira offered pray latter
which Mr.. Carskadon was intro
duced. The speakers address was
somewhat different from what has
been regarded as the regulation
Prohibition speech.
After showing the variances be.
| tween capital and labor and
the poison and corruptions
pervading the body polite, and
citing the liquor traffic as the foul
and prolific source of all these
troubles, he said: danger is
thus threatened danger from which
nothing can save the country ex-
cept the concentration of the intel
ligent, moral, Christian people OF
all parties into one new party.
Prohibition affords the idea about
which this concentration can take
place. 1t appeals to the moral SEN
timents of the people. No reform
ever started with the party in
power new party must be form
ed. A Prohibition revolution is
bound to come, peacefully if we do
our duty if not, then as revolutions
come in France or as slavery was
abolished"
The address was able, we'll deliv-
ed and was heard with the greatest
attention. Mr.. Carskadon will
remain in New York during the
remainder of the campaign.

THE HORN SILVER CAVE.

The disaster that has befallen the
Horn Silver mine is something that
everybody atsall familiar with the prop
erty, knew must come sooner or later.
in the very mature of things. Nobody
has understood better than the manager
of the mine the certainty of this ,'set-
Ting and for years he has been work
to get ahead of the catastrophes that is
to say. has been straining every point so
that when the cave came productive
operations could go ahead without in
teFruption. But the trouble has come
at an inepportune time for the stock
holders, who Ger long weeks have been
tortured by a continually falling market
and the mapipulations OF bears of no
mean proportions. Naturally the sor-
rows Of these men will be intensified
by the drop at the mine the other
night As yet it is unknown here how
serious the damage is, and we cannot
bell how near ready for the cave the
manager was Ii is hoped, however,
that the injury is not great, and that
operations viii soon be resumed in the
good old encouraging manner. A good
many of Utah's financial hopes are
centred in the Horn Silver, which has
proven itself one Of the great mines of
the world, and which has for years
been pouring its rich treasure inte the
pockets of Utah people. When it is
considered that the people who derive
their support directly from the mine
run into the thousands, TO say nothing
of ihe vast sums that have
gone TO the stockholders as divi-
dends, the magnitude OF the
disaster Of closing the Horn Silver may
be understood. Fortunately the out
put of ore lately has been go great that
the smelters will not have to be blown
out for some time yet, even should it
be found impossible to take ore from
the mine. Until the exact status of
affairs in the mine is known, and the
probability of resuming operations both
productive and in the line of develop
ment is ascertained. anxiety will extend
beyond the shareholders who have

THE AVALANCHE.

The same old story from Alta is told
again this morning. 1t comes along
with a regularity that may be counted
upon with little likelihood that it will
fail 1t may come earlier or later than
in previous years, but it seems neees-
safy that it must come. This year the
disaster IS unusually appalling in its
results, the terrible tale of death and
destruction being told in all the mourn
full details in another part of THE
HERALD.
1t is no time to rail against fate, and
quarrel with the destiny which has
again sent number of brave men and
men and women to their long home
over the identical and awful route that
so many have been made to travel in
years past; these men and women
are buried in the snow at Alta
while others are in peril. The first duty
of the living is to rescue the few who
are in such danger, and to recover the
bodies of the victims of the horrible
avalanche, Already we have heard
men beTasing the courage and con-
demning the unwisdom of inviting
violent death by remaining in Alta
after the season Cor snowslides sets in.
1t is better to talk of this after the
heroic yet wonderful duty noted herein
has been performed in full. And even
then it will be waste of words and
reckless squandering OF suggestions.
The poor men and women who have
been .ruthlessly stricken down, were
not in Alta because they pre-
ferrea the isolation, the discomforts and
dangers of the snow-bound camp to the
pleasures and safety of city homes; they
were there for the same reason which
iRdaces the Swiss peasant to brave the
terrOrs of winter in the Alps; the same
reason that mans the worlds ships, that
takes men into direst danger, and in
daces them to face any terrors that may
be presented; they were there for the
bread that they must have. 1t was not
a matter Of choice between existence in
Alta and lines cast in the worlds
pleasant places. We can honor and
praise 4hem, for they were heroes and
hereiRes who had the courage to fight
natHEe's battle againstnature's threaten
ings. The weak and the timid would not
dare the terrors of the treacherous
camp, because they are less men and
less women than the little band whose
sad fate we mourn.

PERTINENT QUERY.

The staunch old Democrat Of Com
mercial street, Joe Barker, writes of
something besides Democracy in this
mornings HERALD, in an open letter to
the local courts and law officers. The
case to which Mr.. Barker refers is well
remembered by the community, and
the public has not yet ceased wondering
why nothing was ever done looking to
the punishment of those who were
guilty of the cowardly and bloody muir
der of Plumb-bcb" Walker. Certainly
the crime Of murder is as bad as unlaw-
full Capitalization, which the courts are
straining themselves to suppress. The
Walker case is not the only one that has
been forgotten by the prosecutors in
their zeal to punish polygamists. 1t has
been said that certain of our
ex-United Sta ties district attorneys were
here for revenue purposes, and as they
came here poor and went away rich
there was at least seeming foundation
for the scandals. 1t is claimed for the
present incumbent of the Office that he
is actuated largely by patriotic and
moral motives instead of greed for
gain. If this be true, he can consist
antly uncover some Of the business
which his predecessors, from one cause or
another, were induced to cover up with
the view to having it pass out of the
public mind. Mr.. Barker has the right
to complain at the course that has been
taken in the matter of the murder of his
son-in-law, and others have the right to
complain that prosecutions have been
abandoned without apparent cause.

FEDERAL OFFICERS, SALARIES

One of the inconsistencies the next
Congress and administration should
straiShten and rectify, is that of salaries
OF Federal officials in the Territories.
What is assumed to be the highest
Office in Territory, the governorship,
is paid only $500 year, or less than
the judges, the marshal, the district at
torney, land less even than the register
and receiver of the land office, who are lit
tie else than clerks. tits true the Cover
nor has comparatively little to do, but
his position is an important one. and
from its nature involves the expendi-
ture of considerable money. An
executive cannot live on the
salary without being mean.
The other officials mentioned receive
$1,000 year each, and they are not too
well paid, provided capable men get
into the offices. The salary of the
judges is outrageously low, considering
the high legal ability that should be
selected for the offices. The pay is so
small that it has come to be the rule to
regard district judge in the Territor-
les as corrupt or incompetent, and
while OF course this popular estimate is
frequently cruelty wrong and unjust, it
must be admitted that the narrow salary
which goes with the Office gives occa-
sion for suspicion as to.the judges pro-
bity, or for reflection upon his ability.
Better pay would bring bigger and bet
ter lawyers to the bench. A ridiculously
small salary is that of the Territorial
Secretary = $500 year. Out
side of the judges, the Secretsry's
IS really the most important office in the
Territory. Itinyolves more labor than
any other, and greater responsibilities
attach to it. The Congressional genius
who fixed the Secretary's salary had
very little conception of the duties and
nature of the Office In this Territory
we have five Federal officials. who are
not awarded to the other Territories.
namely, the Commissioners under the
Edmunds act, who are paid 5000
year each, and who earn about $3.50,
counting the days they spend in the
Territory and the labor they perform.
Congress will do well to make rear
rangement of the Territorial official
salaries upon the basis of more money
for the Judges, the Governor and Seere-
tary, and less for all other off GERS, with
perhaps the exception of the. Marshal
and District Attorney, who are fairly
paid. -
