STRIKE ON THE UNION PACIFIC.

It was hoped that the strikes would
not reach the Union Pacific, Central
Pacific, or D. g. r. g.. railways, but
there seems to be no such good luck in
store for either the railroads or the
trans Missouri communities. The
brakesmen on the Union Pacific east OF
Laramie have struck against a new
schedule which they claim is reduc-
ton of wages, though the company
denies this. Our dispatches tell Of the
tying up of freight trains, and the run
ming of passengers without brakesmen.
For some time past the relations
between the U. P. and its employees
have been Of the most cordial character,
the interests of each other apparently
being carefully considered and looked
after; hence the surprise at the present
sudden manifestation of dissatisfaction.
Knowing that the policy of the manage
1nent of the road is intended TO be
favorable to the employees with the
view to avoiding the annoyance, trouble
and expense of strikes, we fear the
brakesmen have caught the prevalent
strike infection, rather than that they
have good cause for going out. AT
any rate, the strike is greatly to be
regretted, and it is hoped that
common sense and wisdom will be
allowed to assert themselves to
prevent the disaster that would follow
a general strike on the line of that
road. The men are in no condition to
go out and certainly the company is
not in a position to invite or welcome
strike that will in a slight degree even
interfere with its operations. If mu-
tual concessions can prevent lockout.
they should be made.

THAT MONUMENT.

The people of Alabama are going to
erect in their State capital, Montgom-
cry, a monument to the memory OF
those brave men who died in battle in
defense of the Confederate cause. 1t is
said the monument wll be q most ar
tistic and beautiful design, with total
height of eighty feet and width at base
of thirty-6ve feet. 1t is composed of
a base, a column and five bronze
statues. The base and column Will be
made of native stone. At each of the
four corners of base rests a statue rep
resenting respectively Soldier" a
Sailor" History" and Peace. F"
While on the top of column is statu e
representing +" Patriotism" The statue
is the design of Mr.. Alex. Doyle, of New
York.
The cornerstone of this monument
was laid on the 18th ult., in the midst
of imposing ceremonies, the stone being
put in place by Jefferson Davis, the ex-
President of the Confederate States o.
America. We believe that It Is proper
that something to commemorate the
brave deeds of those who sacrificed theiI
lives in sustaining the lost and wrong
cause, but think it could be more ap-
propriateIy done by the erection of &
soldiers home, where the SCARED yet
Grams Of the wrong cause could be cared
for in their old age, and relieved of tn,
burdens that now weigh them down
The nation viii not pension those who
struck blow at her existence: but tn,
State in whose service these brave meI
fought and bled, could better acknovl
edge the valor of those who fell BY
caring for those who survived. Could
the voices of those soldiers who nov
sleep in nameless graves be heard, they
would say, Take care Of our old com
rades." The way TO honor the dead il
such q case, is to care for the living.

MALICE APPARENT.

1t will appear to lawyers and judges
everywhere except in Utah that the
motion of Mr.. Brain in the Third Dis
triet Court on Monday, for a continu-
ance of the trial of the charge against
him, was so well grounded that it
should have called for no argument.
The mere presentation of the motion
with 3 statement Of the reason upon
which il was based, should have been
sufficient, and we believe would have
been in any other court than in the one
where it was offered. Mr.. Brain is IN
der indictment for having, it is alleged
assaulted 8 deputy marshal. The Mar
shall as well as the deputy against
whom the ofense was committed,
is a witness in the case for the
prosecution, and the Marshal and
the assaulted deputy selected
the Jury to try the defendant. Because
of these facts, and fully realizing that
men would be chosen for jurors at least
not on account of the friendship for Mr.,

Justice was reasonable; but TO the aston

DELAYS ARE RESPONSIBLE.

lence" would be an appropriate te1tfor
some of our sensational preachers, and
one that more serious-minded persons
could dwell upon with considerable pro-
TT just now. Every paper is filed with
accounts of violent murders, suicides,
and almost as frequently with accounts
of men taking the law in their own
hands ard by mob violence taking the
lives of the offenders. The crimes oil
those put to death are OF such q char
acter that one can have but little sym
pathy for their taking of, but there Is
danger in 1t. At Springville. No, on the
9th nit, a mob of 400 men surrounded
the county Jail and took from the
prison one Geo. Z. Graham, who had
murdered his wife. and hanged him.
The coroner found pinned to the body

ment had been inflicted as If the muir
derer had been hung by legal authority.

the community, and justice to human

stance" That as little punishment was
inflicted as if the accused had been ex-
ecuted by legal authority may be true,
but that either a matter OF right to the
community or justice to humanity
required the ignoring OF The law
we deny. 1t may be IN the
estimation of these parties, as the
note further explained, that the criminal
statutes are not equal o ell occasions,
but ii not, then they should be made
equal to all occasions. They certainly
would have administered capital pun
ishment for wife murder. Our criminal
codes should be so constructed that cap
ital punishment would cover every case
where men really commit crimes that
are worthy of death, and the punish
ment should be sure and swift, But
the long delays which now occur make
the people at times impatient and in
not a few cases the scoundrel that COM

Justice. hardens the men who engage in
it, and is a menace to our civil institu

the people should learn to be more

distant with a view to such national
action as may seem worthy OF the oc-
casion. The President agreed to receive
the committse on the 10Th inst. The
occasion is certainly worthy of grand
celebration, and 1t is fitting that the
United States should take the lead in
such q movement. The whole world
has reason to be grateful for the dis
coyery of America, and can well afford
70 exhibit that gratitude by a grand
international celebration in 1892. the
fourth centennial anniversary OF that
great event. Let us hope the celebra-
ton will take place and that Utah can
be represented there as one OF the SOW

THE PROSPECTS are that Canada will
not be such a healthy resort for Ameri-
can thieves as that class of American
exports perhaps hoped. The agent OF q
large pork shipping FIRM who lately fed
from New York with q large sum OF
money belonging to the firm was
recently arrested in Montreal under a
law which makes it a crime to bring
stolen money into the Dominion. 1t is
to be hoped the law will be held to
apply to these cases. Should it fail
then the existing extradition laws now
in force between Canada and the United
