DARING BANK ROBBERIEs.

1t was predicted when the fellow ''held
mi President MOFFATT in a Denver bank
for sd 900 that other daring rObberies
would follow, the success of the Denver
undertaking inspiring desperate men to
take chances which they would not other
wise have had the courage TO invite. Like
suicides and murders bank robberies run
in streaks.' = and there is a similarity in the
mode of operation during the period of a
certain ''streak" On Tuesday a cowboy
went into the little bank of Grover, Colo
RADIO, and getting a bead on the cashier
compelled the latter to hand out all the
money that was in the safe-somethingOv over
a thousand dollars. We say compelled =
but perhaps persuaded would be the better
word. Your free born American can be
compelled to do nothing, but he can
generally be persuaded, provided the other
fellow has the drop on him. with bull
dog pistol The situation under such cir
cumstances are decidedly persuasive, the
most courageous yielding as readily as the
timid. Tle Grover incident need not be re
garded as the last to find its incentive in
the Denver affair. We may expect more
of these daring robberies until somebody
has been caught or killed, or new and
novel scheme for getting cash from
banks has been devised by the brave and
cunning fellows who prefer the profession
of the robber to honest toll.
But what we intended to say is that those
who are condemning President MoFFATT
for yielding so readily, and thus encourag-
~ 70
perate deeds, do wrong. Mr.. MOFFATT didn' t
know that the bottle of nitro-glycerine,
with which the man into whose ''boX'' he
had walked threatened to blow up the
building and send men and money to
eternity, was harmless castor-oi. To the
bank man the bottle contained nitro
glycerine The pistol, also, with which
MoFFATT was constantly covered may have
been without charge, and even hammer
less, but in the eyes and in the mind of the
millionaire the weapon was loaded to the
muzzle, and one word or one false molten
by him would have brought all the ugly
contents into his body.
Now and then there is man who would
resist even under such circumstances.
Once in while there is fellow who will
submit to a roasting, will have his finger
nails drawn, or will be strung up by the neck
before he will surrender money. But
these are misers and cranks. You never
find them among bank presidents or
intelligent men who love life dearer than
all else. There isn't one man in ten thou
sand the world over who would have re
fused to obey, as MOFFATT or the Grover
cashier obeyed. Rather than criticise Mr..
MoFFATr for giving up 81, 900 and saving
his life, he should be commended for the
GOODNESS and self-eontrol which enabled
him to pass through the trying ordeal with
such circumspection as to save himself.
The Denver bank president is in no sense
responsible for the robberies which will
occur as the result of the success of the
clever rascal's plan in his case. The re
sponsibility lies E-ith the human nature
which inspires men to save their lives at
whatever cost in money.

THE COLORADANS.

THE HERALD extends a sincere and cor
dial welcome to the Colorado people who
will come to Salt Lake to-day. We like
western folks in general and Colorado
folks specially. The gentlemen come partly
for pleasure, but more to look at the
country with the view to possible invest
ments in land and in industrial enterprises.
THE HERALD thinks this is one OF the
favored spots of earth, the climate, the
soil. the location. and the natural attrac-
tions forming combination which Is
matchless. We are proud of the exhibition
and happy when the display can be made to
intelligent persons who appreciate the
bright and desirable places Of earth. The
ColOradans are such, for they also have
glorious Estate favored, though perhaps in
less degree than Utah, in those things
which make life so much more enjoyable in
the mountains than on the plains or at the
sea level. We shall confidently expect our
visitors from the other side of the range to
enjoy themselves while here; this they can
not well avoid doing; it is something which
strangers cannot escape. And then we
shall expect them to carry away impress
sions so pleasing that many will return to
find permanent homes, and join with US IL
building up a mighty community which
will bear the impress Of the broad thought
and progressive ideas of bigminded, en-
ergetic western men. Our friends may be
assured that such honest welcome as we
know how to offer is freely rendered, and
they may also know that if their entertain
ment is not what they would like it will be
because we don't know how to entertain,
and have not the facilities.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-04-18

shall be fair. In the majority of cases acct
dents are due to the carelessness of the
men themselves; no degree of caution on
the part Of the company could prevent
many of the accidents by which employees
lose hands, legs and life. Then why should
the company be held responsible for the in
jury resulting to employees through the neg
ligence of the latter? 1t isn't right, and
courts and juries cannot make it just. A
railway company is as well entitled to pro-
faction as its employees, and the latter
ought not to stand out against VIII at is mani
festly just and right.
A system of insurance can be devised
which will not be burdensome on the men,
and which will provide for their wants
in case Of sickness or incapacity for work,
and for dependent heirs in the event Of
the bread-winner's death. 1t can do this
and relieve the employer from a response
bility which does not, in equity, attach to
him. If there is a case in which railway
has the right to demand a concession from
its men, it strikes US that this is such an
instance, and it is unreasonable for the
men to refuse. Their objection displays
that spirit which actuates so many people
in this country, and which expresses itself
in ''going for'' corporations without regard
to rights or justice. We find it in iuries
that find extravagant verdicts against cor
poratiOns, and we see it in the bringing Of
what would be ridiculous suits if the de-
PENDANTS were individuals.
1t is to be hoped that a sense of justice
viii finally control the B. 81 .. men, and
that disastrous strike viii be avoided.

BIG STRIKE THREATENED.

1t looks as if the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road company were getting itself into very
deep trouble through an earnest and, we
believe, an honest desire to befriend its en-
ployees, A plan of accident and life insur-
ance has been devised for the mutual bene-
fit the men and the company. We donot
know the details further than the company
contributes a certain sum to a fund to
which the men are required to pay per
centage of their earnings monthly; the
money is to be invested for the benefit Of
tbeemployees, who are to draw designated
amount weekly in case of accident, and in
the event OF dea h their heirs will receive a
certain sum. The company proposes that
It's, employees shall become interested in this
insurance, one of the conditions of employ
ment being the signing of an agreement
that a percentage Of the pay of the men
shall 20 into the fund. The men object:
and the outlook now is that a formidable
strike will follow the carrying out of the
scheme.
The plan seems to be good one, and if
the rates of insurance are not too high
there is nothing unreasonable about the
proposition. 1t appears to us that a rail
way company has just right to demand
that its employees will look out for acct
dents and for the future necessities of
themselves and families in some such mon
ner as proposed. The protection is simply
mutual, and ought not to be objected to, fur
her than that the contribution to the fund

OUR NEW GUNBOATS.
Some Doubts are Expressed Concerning Their
True Worth.

True Worth.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Recent reports
of the maneuvres of the British naval
assuring with respect to some of our new
naval vessels.
In these maneuvres about six vessels of
the Archer type participated. The result
was disagreeable surprise 1t was found
that the vessels pitched and rolled about to
such an extent in moderately heavy sea
as to render them very poor gun platforms,
TO use technical expression, which meant
the guns were SO unstable that they could
not be directed with any approach
to accuracy of fire. They were
also very wet ships These defects are
supposed to result from the excessive
weight Of the ordnance and it was recon-
mended that the 6-inch rifles be replaced by
5-inch guns, and the anchors moved further
apart.
The significance If the report to naval
officers here lies il 3 fact that the new
gunboat Yorktown i ltterned after the
Archer, and will carr so-4e cable and a
heavy weight of ordnance. Failure
has also attended the efforts of the British
constructors to build a 2O-knot ship, of
which the navy department here is at
tempting to build two under the direction
of Congress.
The Medea, which was built for 20
knot ship, has never exceeded nineteen
knots, but has developed more than the es-
timated horse power.
This is an indication to constructors here
that it is not possible to drive vessel of
that leagth at twenty knots an hour The
British authorities have taken the same
view. They will build another of these
boats Of greater length. The other vessel
of the same type failed to develop anything
like the necessary 5000 power, so that the
promise Of success for our boats is not great.

is all very well to love the negro as man
and'brother so long as you can do so at a
distance, but it is an entirely different
matter when it comes to making the blacks
your equals in fact as well as in name. In
the north it is evidence of loyalty to the
government to demand that the white peo
pie of the south meet and associate with
the negroes on the plane of social and poll
teal equality; but when it comes to the
southern loyalists living by the rule they
have laid down for the "ex-rebels," there
is rebellion.
The Alabama Republicans say frankly
that if the negroes want to form political
leagues for any purpose that is their priv
lege, but the whites think it will be better
as they know it will be more agreeable for
the races to act separately. For southern
Democrats to make sue. a declaration
would be little less than treason.

PARNELL'S LIBEL SUIT.
The Plaintiff Wants the Evidence Confined tC
the Issue.

LONDON, April 17.-Parnen has engaged
Sir Charles Russell, Mr-Asquith and Arthur
Russell to conduct the libel suit brought by
him against the Times. The trial takes
place in the autumn.
The specific charges against the Times are
that it published a fac smile of a letter
date April, 1887, and falsely ascribed it to
Parnell; and other letters during the trial
Of O'Donnell VS.. Walter, among them one
from Kilmainham beginning Dear e.
which the Times, subsequent to the trial,
called genuine.
Parnen will insist that the case be con-
fined to the subject of the issue of the
forgeries, so that all questions of political
nature may be excluded.
