THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

THE HERALD is afraid that in our hest
going to spoil this business of a govern
ment building for Salt Lake and make mat
tiers worse than if nothing whatever had
been done. 1t is historic fact that Con-
gress never appropriates all that is asked
for. Oftener it gives half, or less, that is
requested. The peculiar method Of doing
things that has grown up in the national
legislature, has taught intelligent COM
munities to petition for twice as much
money as they expect to get. Congress
thinks the petitioners do not look for more
than half what they ask.
Salt Lake wants a government building
that will cost not less than half million
dollars. No structure which costs less will
be in harmony with the city, nor will
it meet the requirements upon it by the
government. The buildings and ground
in this city nov occupied by the govern
ment could not be purchased for a quarter
of a million, and there isn't federal
official in the territory who doesn't COM
plain of lack of room and accommodation,
while the public thinks it shame that the
great nation should be camping its
courts, postoffice, and other institutions
as at present.
And yet we are talking about petitioning
for S250,OOO, and some are nervous over
asking for so much! If the full sum were
appropriated, and the money honestly ex-
pended, everybody would be sorry, for the
building would not be such as the
town demands, nor would it be struc-
ture of which the citizens would be
proud. At the same time it would be sufi-
Gent to destroy hope of larger appropria-
during this generation.
Let US ask for million and persist in it,
knowing we will get no more than half the
sum, or let US drop it entirely until such
time as we can go to Congress with reason
able expectation that our just request will
be favorably considered. Utah is not al
ways going to remain an insignificant ter
ritory without voice, vote or influence in
Congress, and minus weight and power
with the political parties. One of these
days, what is now the despised dependency,
kicked and cuffed about or ignored by
everybody, will have two Senators and two
or three Representatives in Congress, and
four or five votes in the electoral college
We can then show that government owes
it to Salt Lake to spend some money here
for buildings, and respect will be shown to
our demonstration and request. Would not
all rather wait three or four years and get
what we want, than rush in now and get
what we don't want, at the same time be-
ing barred from future appeals
THE HERALD's position on this matter is
emphatically in favor of big building or
none at all.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

It seems safe conclusion that the dis
trict court for the Second judicial districts
place of sitting will not be changed from
why it should. The people of the former
place have, after having a similar place
burned down, constructed another like unto
it. only little more expensive in that it
has adopted the more recent demands OF
civilization regarding a repository for pub
lie documents and place wherein justice
might properly have her seat.
The town of Milford is place amount
ing to actually nothing. 1t consists, apart
from the railway buildings, of forward
ing house, a lunch place, a saloon and a
building exhibiting some signs of perma-
nency by having adobies for its walls and
being two stories high, whereas, every
other structure in the place is of lumber
and one story in height and not more than
half IF them are inhabited. There's not
one place wherein the district court could
sit with due regard for its own dignity,
while the facilities for taking care Of so
many people as invariably gather during a
trial term or session of the district court
are absolutely inadequate. The very ap-
pearance of the place is more suggestive of
cemetery than anything else, and those
who ask for so important a con-
cession as that herein referred to
regarding so insignificant and utterly un-
important place certainly have no regard
for the proprieties of the occasion.
Judge ZANE's son, who occupies the posi-
ton of assistant prosecuting attorney for
that district, endorses the application for
removal The cause of his doing so may
not be altogether understood. 1t is gener-
ally comprehended that he is not entirely
healthy and that travel disagrees with him,
by reason of which he prefers to engage in
no staging and perform his labors on the
line of the railway. There would be no
objection to this if it were not for the fact
that there is no apparent desire in his en-
dorsement to accommodate the public, only
a desire to accommodate himself.
tits to be hoped that none of the parties
who have merely personal interest in the
matter will be considered, and that the vel
fare Of the whole people will be the cri-
terion by which the governor will be
guided in this matter, as in all things else
Of public nature.

CALDWELL MURAT matter, and of
course they should be gratifed. That
it is bowling shame that such an incident
should be placed in the category of the
romances and treated as though it were
merely the mistakes of lovelorn girl and
the waywardness of her lover, it is at once
apparent to all who have anything like an
appreciation of the proprieties of the sit
uation. If THE HERALD were to prescribe
for the fair patient it would advise her first
to go through the experience of ship
wreck, if possible, on her way home to the
United States; be saved by mere chance
after being thoroughly soaked in the sea,
and after getting here and being entirely
braced up. to fall in love with young but
talented house carpenter or cowboy, since
it seems she must marry some sort of
idyllic creature, and settle down in life.

and are sorry that of the latter there are
not 10000 instead of less than half that
number In time Wyoming will be a
mighty state, wealthy and populous, and
we will all be proud of her, but just now it
seems like running the statehood business
into the ground for her to ask admission.
Nobody for moment believes that Ari-
iona can present such showing as will
gain for her petition for admission a
moments consideration. Longer than any
of her sisters will Arizona have to wait,
unless she should be admitted on trade,
to offset some Republican state, and of this
there seems no likelihood at present.
Looking over the situation calmly, THE
HERALD can find nothing which suggests
the probability even of this Congress Great
ing any states. 1t is needless to remark
that Utah is expecting nothing, is putting
forth no effort and, therefore, cannot be
disappointed.

Indians killing Elk for their Hides-A
fragrant Breach Of Law.
The Helena Herald says: The report
comes from the Missouri valley that Flat
head Indians, Who are of their reserva-
tion on . hunt. are creating havoc with
noble game on the range between Avalanche
gulch and Diamond City, Strengthening elk
and deer by the score. The "Herald's'
informant states that one band OF Indians
recently killed fifteen elk for their hides,
leaving the carcasses to be deyoured by
wolves.
Such destructive warfare against the
already too rapidly diminishing herds Of
large game in Montana is criminal and
osght to be punished. A white man would
not dare to commit sach q breach of the
law. yet Indians do it every winter and go
unwhipt OF justice. There should be q
special officer in zach county, OF even In
each voting precinct where q game ls
found, to arrest these depredators as soon
as they are discovered, and II our large
game is not to be soon exterminated, the
legislature ought to take early and vigor-
GUS steps Tor it's protection.
Under the p~resentlaw the illegalkiliing OF
game is only a matter OF inclination and
those who wish to violate it can do so with
impunity nine times out OF ten, as the
game is found in remote sections and the
killer can be of with his booty before an
officer OF the law can reach the scene to
make an arrest. The Indians, from all re-
ports, are the principal ~lawbreakers in this
respect and some means should be devised
to prevent the annual slaughter OF four
footed game which they are responsible for.

THE MoREHoUsE CASE.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings to Be Argued
To-Day In Helena

Habeas Corpus Proceedings TO Be Argued
-z--=12 To-Day IN
In the divorce case of Morehouse vs..
Morehouse, habeas corpus proceedings on
day in Helena, which will be argued to-day.
Ten days ago Judge DeWoife made an
order giving the plaintiff 500 counsel fees
and 500 month alimony to date from
July last. The defendant gave notice Of
appeal to the Supreme Court OF Montana
and filed an appeal bond. MoreIlouse re.
fused to pay the money ordered by the
court and ON the part Of Mrs. Morehouse,
Messrs. Mcbride q Haldorn made applica-
ton to Judge DeWolfe inopen court to show
cause why he should not be punished for
contempt oil the order OF the court.
The defendant, by his counsel, appeared
and answered that he had filed notice OF
appeal and an appeal bond, The case
was argued before the court, who decided
that an order for payment OF counsel fees
and alimony pendente lite was not a final
Judgment under the statute, as the statute
gave the court at any time power to va
cate or amend bn6 OEQeF. ne n5iu III was
the intention OF the law to en-
force ON the husband the duty OF
maintaining his wife until, legally
separated, and that it would
be a greater hardship for q woman with
her children to have to depend for their
support on the charity Of others than for
q husband to be denied the right of appeal.
That not being a final judgment his order
was not an appealable order under the
statutes and therefore adjudged that
Morehouse was in contempt and ordered
him into the custody of the Sheriff until
tuch time as the order for payment OF
counsel fee and alimony had been complied
with.
Morehouse then, by his attorneys. pro-
cured a writ OF habeas corpus to issue from
Chief Justice Mcconnell directed to the
Sheriff oil Silver Bow County and citing the
Sheriff to Hppear bvfore Judge Mcconnell
to-day at 10 q. m. at Helena to show by
what authority he detains Morehouse in
custody. This order was only served yes
terday, and yesterday afternoon the Sher-
iff left by the $3.50 train in company with
Mr.. Haldorn, the plaintiffs counsel, to APP
pear in answer to the summons.

He said that while they agreed with DR..
Leapitt, the Health Officer, In some Of his

of Che Health Officer only expressed his

their position in the premises and
define wherein they disagreed with the
Health Officer. The first exception they
