JUSTICE PROMISED.

1t will crafty all honest, fair-mindeC
people that Congress proposes to dea
sqnarely by the Chinese. A bill ha:
been favorably reported to the Senate
TO indemnify the Chinese for the losses
sustained in the riots at Rock Springs
Wyoming, last fall, the appropriation
for the purpose being $4,000. 1t is to
be hoped the bill VIII be promptly
passed and the money paid over to the
sufferers from this disgraceful affair.
That is the way in which China does
things, and the enlightened American
Government cannot afford to be less
Just than the Monaghan. The pay
ment of this money may prove good
lesson to the American people and nation
the lesson that we must either take in
our sign or live up to it. The Chinese
did not compel this country to admit
them; there was no force business about
it. We opened the doors and invited
them to come; the invitation extended
10 all the world including them; the
heathens did not even then accept. but
waited for a special and pressing invita-
ton; and even then they delayed until
a plain and definite arrangement was
entered into, the bargain being that the
subjects of the Emperor of China should
be accorded the same rights ofresidence
and degree Of protection in this country
which were accorded to the subjects of
any other nation, and in return for this,
the citizens of America in China were
to enjoy the privileges accorded to the
most favored foreigners. The barbarian
Chinese have faithfully observed their
part of the compact, but the Christian
lied and civilized Americans have paid
little attention to the obligation. I'm
der the guaranteed protection of the
"best nation on earth" the Chinese have
been treated worse than humane people
treat their dogs. The poor fellows are
kicked and .cuffed and driven about at
the pleasure of the vicious, the loafers
and the hoodlums, and the sentiment
of the better element of the people
is not allowed TO assert itself
in behalf of the abused. The Rock
Springs affair was so outrageous
and terrible that it aroused the indig-
nation of the civilized world, and
shamed decent Americans into making
a demand that restitution and repara-
ton be made to the Chinese, and the
bill now before Congress is the result.
1t will elevate the United States in the
estimation of the nations to do this act
of justice, and show that it can be as
honorable as the despised Chinese. 1t
would add to our glory and credit if we
were to hang the men who murdered
the defenseless Chinese on the occasion
of the riots; but this will not be done,
when officers and grand jurors on the
spot declare their inability 10 find evil
dence of the guilt of anybody.

PROFESSOR FOSTER, on the 10Th Of the
month. predicted a great storm period
between April 18th and 18th. He says
a cold wave will appear in the north
west and run down into the Southern
States, followed by heavy frosts as far
south as Tennessee and Southern Kan
sas. Utah appears to have been struck
with the predicted storm period pre-
maturely. The most serious part OF tn G
weather prophets prediction is that q
terrible hurricane will form on or near
gulf and sweep up the southeast Allan
tic coast. Let US hope for the people in
that section that Foster is a false pro-
phet.

THE Tribune finds fault with three in
dependent minded employees OF the
postoffice for refusing to sign lying
document which says that the Gentiles
of Utah are Slaves politically to Nor

ism" and asks eff these men are such
as the postal department wants to en-
trust with the sacred correspondence OF
the PEOPLE" In view of the quantity
OF said sacred correspondence" which
finds its way without the permission of
its owners into the columns of the Tri-
bune, the solicitude of that sheet in re-
lation to this matter will at once be
recognized and appreciated in its
proper light. We are tempted to be
lieve that the real reason of the Tri-
bHne's assault upon the three gentlemen

was the object, is that they are
not in with it in its latest exhibition OF
.otsl deprsvity in robbing the U. s.

mis- complete cooperation by the Tri-
'i.ne of the three postal employees in

WHAT PERSISTENCE DOES.

Some of our contemporaries and per-
haps some individuals as well were dis
posed 10 think that THE HERALD was
carrying the Fordham-Best letter theft
too far; that we were "harping on my
daughter" until the business threatened
70 become Eearisome. THE HERALD
knew what it was about. We set out to
corret an evil, and the only way TO
accomplish it was to make the matter
50 prominent and persistent that it
could not be ignored by the powers
that be. The little ring here, which
controls the courts and the local Federal
administration, could refuse to pay any
attention to wrong-1oing which might
reflect on il or its friends and sympa-
fhizers. but there are officers Of govern
ment who are not doing mission ser
vice against the Mormons and in
the interest of Mormon haters. II
was them that The HERALD wa nted
and expected to reach We never
hoped to stir up District-Attorney
Dickson 10 take action in the matter Of
investigating the theft of the letter.
We never believed he had the moral
courage TO make an inquiry that would

too highly the praise o. that sheet, and

INVESTIGATION Is THE THING.

Just now investigating committee
seem TO be the order of the day; and
now that Congress has appointed such
committee to inquire into the labor
troubles, would it not be an auspiclous
time to urge upon Congress the import

asked for by the people of this Territory
to investigate the Utah question? In

year ago by the vast majority of the
people of the Territory for such in

The ATLANTA Constitution observes
that the season is very much like the
spring of 1875, and then calls attention
70 the fact that 1875 was noted in
Georgia for several destructive cyclones,
which nearly blotted out two or three
villages and killed several hundred
PEOPLE. The Constitution refers with
unconcealed pride to its record in the
past as a cyclone newsgatherer, and ex-
presses the hope that its scribes will en-
deavor, should the cyclones come. to
beat their past record. The inhabitants,
then, of the cyclone-visitedr regions may
comfort themselves with the reflection
that if the dread whirling monster with
his pitiless cruelty shall ravish their
vicinity, lick up their homes in his mad
rush. and whirl them recklessly into
space, and snatch away their in
haoitants with his cruel hands and
bear them off in his merciless arms
they may be comforted with the re
lection, We say, that the sublime scene
of which they form q part will be
graphically written up by some scribe
and sent to the Contribution almost be-
fore the leaves are done quivering in
the tornsdo's track. Some minds phil
osophically inclined might be disposed
to think that that kind of comfort is
not very consoling; but TO folks that
like that kind of comfort why of course
that's about the kind OF comfort
they'd like.

more of this theft. and it is not improb-
able that the District Attorney will be

The Fordhem-Best letter was insig-
nificant in ITSELF, nor did its publication
amount to anything. 1t is doubtful if
the writer or the gentleman TO whom II
was addressed would have presented
very strong objections to its publication,
had they been consulted in the matter
What is desired is the putting a stop TO
this tampering with the mails by unau-
thorized persons, whether they
be mail agents. postal clerks
deputy marshals or newspaper ed
itors. There is a general feeling
in the community that private letters
are not held inviolate during transmits
sion, and to overcome that feeling, and
restore confidence in the postal service
hereabouts should be the desire OF
every officer of government. 1t was to
assist in this work that THE HERALD
took up the Best letter theft, and urged
an investigation into the crime. We be-
lieve we have done the public good SER
vice in the matter, and if the inquiry o
be instituted shall fail to find the thief
in this instance. the movement on foot
will make those charged with the duty
of protecting the mails more careful
of their sacred trust.

From the Tagares F1a.J Herald.

From the Tdedres (Fld.J Herald.
In May of last year, at the sitting OF the
grand jury at Orlando. that body added a
request to their presentment that it be
published by the county papers. 1t was
published by several OF the county papers,
and among them were the Orlando Re-
porter and Sentinel. The two last-named
papers, however, presented bills for the
publication to the amount of some $21
each, the bills varying by a fractional
part OF a dollar. These bills were ordered
to be paid by Judge Foster, but
the commissioners declined to pay
them. The board was asked the
reasons for non-payment, which were
given. The board takes the position
that the presentment is a matter of news,
is so regarded by the press everywhere,
and as such should be published without
pay. They furthermore hold that no favor.
itism should be shown any paper, but that
II one be paid Tor such publication, all
should be so paid. AT the meeting OF the
board on Monday an order was received
from Judge Foster to nav the bills, and
the board for the third time declined 10
obey the judicial mandate to pay the
bills.
Here the matter now rests. and what It's
outcome will be IS an interesting ques.
ton. By his action Judge Foster IS forced
TO the alternative Of receding from bis pc.
sitIon, thereby acknowledging his error
or committing the board for contempt.

TRY DisDdtch 10 Nelo York Heratd.
The latest information from Jackson
Vile, Fla, gives grave reasons for fear
that Michael Kurtz, alias ''Sheeny Mike, !"
will succeed in escaping transfer to this
State to answer charges of burglary and
larceny. He was indicted with BILLY"
Porter, now IN Jail in this city, for COM
plicity in the Marks diamond robbery
mere two years ago, and WAS arrested al
Jacksonville on Jan. 10. He at once en-
gagged the best legal talent. A writ OF ha-
beas corpus was obtained. and owing TO
the inability of the prosecuting attorney
to establish the identity OF Robert Smith
the person named in the Indictment with
Kurtz, the latter was discharged. Kurtz
made a desperate attempt TO leave the
court room, but was at once rearrested.
States Attorney owen sent TO Troy for
other papers, and these were sent the
middle Of last week, reaching Jackson
vile last Sunday. The second requisi-
ton was based on warrant issued by
Justice Myers, and it Is claimed that he,
being only a justice In Court of Special
Sessions, had no jurisdiction in case
which WAS m tue oyer and rerminer, and
further, that Myers title to the Office OF
Justice is olOuded.
In any event the prosecuting counsel in
Jacksonville are afraid 70 90 into the court
with the second papers, and have tele-
grapbed here that their only nope Is in
the finding OF new indictment against
Kurtz. The grand jury will meet on Mon
day, but II Is believed by Police Superin-
tendent Willard and other authorities
here that Kurtz will be released before
ANYTHING can be done.

Hazen's agency in Cincinnati has been
in Americas looking for Prof. r. o. Dieuis,
who is wanted very bad in Cincinnati as
a witness In a very important criminal
case. The detective found the professor
in LumpKin, and did his best to induce
him to 90 to Cincinnati. The professor
was 10th to go for some reason, but at
length agreed to go il his hotel bill in
Lumpkin was paid and his railroad fare.
THIS was readily agreed 10, and they both
came to Americas. Here the professor
got away on the plea that he wanted 20

not seen him since.
The detective says Dieuls could make a
good sum OF money by going, as bis evil
dence is wanted 10 clear a very wealthy
man. There is no legal power to make
him 90 and no charges against him in
