DETECTIVES HEARD.

Yesterday the detectives who were not
taken to Topeka. and who were implicated
IN the Questionable practice of selling
commissions, were arraigned before Com
missioner Sherman to be given a prelimi-
nary hearing. Several very innocent let
tiers of inquiry from the dupes were sub
,nittee in evidence, and a number of cir
culars issued by different agencies to en-
trap the unsophisticated.
One enterprising agency stated that
their salaries ranged from $3.50 per month
downward, and a mans worth to the
agency was the only thing chat fixed his
salary. They were beyond favorit-
ism, and not even the highest
official in the land could in
duce them to pay more or
less than a man was worth to them.
The chief received $3.50. and any applicant
might become chief through energy and
adaptability to the work. After being d
member of the agency for six months an
application for a salaried position might
be made, but no promise was made regard
ing the fate of the application.
To ali Of these vague statements and
suggestions OF great possibilities was added
a certificate purporting to be signed by
the secretary of state, in which the objects
and aims of the company were set forth
and seeming to place it under the auspices
OF the United States and state OF Kansas
especially.
Another circular reminded the applicants
of the many privileges vouchsafed
to its members asserting that all doors
were wide open to them. Free passes to
theaters. shows, fairs and anything in
fact. and in many instances the railroad
corporations would thrust passes on them.
These are only a few of the milder but de-
cidedly indefinite promises that were made
to catch the unsophisticated and yet these
circulars were promptly responded to by
presumably,intelligent people, all anxious
10 embark in this great warfare to EXTERN
mate crime. The first detective called for
trial waived his examination and was
bound over. Berk and Scott Ford, who
were only employees without having been
admitted into the higher mystries of the
service and were working along without
being actually connected with the fraud
were discharged and subpo naed as wit
aesses against the others.

ROBERT DOWNING.
Robert Downing's Tngomar" is crea-
ton worthy Of the. role. To its portrayal
he brings such qualities of intellect and
physique as could not fail to insure sue
cessful presentation. He moves through
the varying scenes of the play with the
superb deliberation of an artist who is
sure of his theme. His "Ingomar" has the
nature of savage, the soul of a poet, the
heart of child. 1t is grand in its sim
plicity, puissant with concentrated energy
and lofty in its ideal integrity. In the
stormy scenes and in the gentler passages
the character is equally interesting. be-
cause the artist lumins his picture with
equal fidelity, whether he aims at the bold
and broad effects of violent passion or at
the softer "MeZZo tints" and delicate shad-
ing of the gentler emotions Mr.. Down.
ing could afford to rest his reputation upon
his 'Ingomar" had he no other resources

GOOD FOR WASHINGTON.

Washington is doing wise and eco
nomic thing in aboiishing the grand jury
with her new constitution. Probably there
was time when the grand jury was neces-
sary and useful, but if so that time long
since passed, for not in this generation has
the inquisitorial institution been service
able in civilized communities. The grand
jury does nothing that cannot be done bet
ter and easier in another way. Its inves-
legations are always partisan, and there
fore necessarily inequitable, and its find
ings are frequently cruel and unjust. The
fact that it is secret body, conducting its
inquiries on the sly without Civ
ing the objects of investigations
an opportunity to be heard in
explanation is sufficient to condemn the in
stitution with fair minded men. The cost
illness of the system is also another
convincing argument against its continu-
ance. The gentlemen who are framing the
Washington constitution have evidently
profited from their observation and eXper-
fence as to this matter, and it is gratifying
to know that they have the courage to sit
down on an ugly institution which has
come down from the dark ages.

HERE'S A HOW-DE-DO.

If any other Washington newspaper than
the Euening Star had published the story
which appears in our Geographic columns
this morning, very few people would place
any credit in it. The Star is one of the most
careful and most reputable journals in the
country. 1t is not sensational, is non-par-
tisan. and would not be likely to print the
story, unless it was true, that those who
print the government securities have been
fraudulently printing and issuing govern
ment notes from plates and dies in the bu-
reau Of engraving and printing. There is
certainly something more than an idle sup
position in the publication. The wonder is
that this scheme of swindling was not long
ago adopted. in the very nature Of things
it would be impossible to distinguish the
spurious from the genuine notes, provided
the conspiracy comprised in its ranks
enough of the employees to carry
the bad notes through all the various
processes and departments, from the re
ceipt of the blank paper to the numbering
of the finished bills. To suppose there
could be such a conspiracy is to suggest
that considerable percentage of the en-
ployees are dishonest, or would be dishon-
est if they were reasonably safe from de-
lection, and this latter suggestion is notfar
out of the way when we take into account
how men obtain government employment.
Political activity or the partisan influence
of friends will get place for a man when
proven honesty, integrity, capability and
trustworthiness combined viii fail. a
rogue can obtain a responsible position if
he has done good work for his party, or
has a relative or friend who is influential
with the administration; while good and
reliable man will starve before he can get
into the government service without parti-
san assistance.
If the conspirators in this fraudulent
note transaction have played their cards
well, the loss will fall upon the government
because of the inability to detect the spu-
rious bills when they shall be presented for
redemption; but if the scoundrels have
failed in some particular, and the crooked
notes can be distinguished, individuals will
suffer, as the government does not hold
itself responsible for the misdeeds and
swindling operations of its agents and EN-
plOyeeS.

nent, where the weary could rest
and the hungry be fed; but there
is great Obligation resting upon US all,
and one which will never be paid so long
as we permit Pioneer Day to pass unob-
served, and neglect to even inquire, What
of the Pioneers themselves! The legisla-
ture has made the anniversary holiday,
and there is an ungraceful suspension Of
business in some places; but the second
most important day in the calendar to the
happy jewellers in these wales of
peace and prosperity, is marked by
no unusual rejoicing, and the men
who gave US the anniversary are
permitted to live out their years and pass
to the everlasting beyond in forgetfulness.
THE HERALD respectfully suggests that in
this matter the people of Utah are not act
ing creditably; they are not doing them
selves justice.
1t might not prove that our hearts are bet
ter but it would show that they beat more
properly if Pioneer Day were celebrated as
we celebrate the anniversaries of other
mighty deeds, distinguishing the day by
public rejoicings and by recounting the he
roic deeds of those who founded this vigor-
Gus and virtuous commonwealth.

BEEF CATTLE.

1t will be good news to the ranchmen,
which came over the wire the other day, to
the effect that cattle were being exported
to Europe. 1t is said that the outgoing
vessels for the next three months have all
been chartered by the stock dealers, and
many thousands of beeves will be sent
abroad from our western ranges.
One of the industries of the west
which has suffered much during the past
two or three years, has been that of ranch
ing, there having been steady and aston
ishing decline in the price of range cattle.
Three years ago steers readily fetched
double what they can be sold for to-day.
Many a ranchman who looked at his herds,
and regarded himself as rich or on the fair
road to wealth, has since gone to the wall,
and the ranchers with small punches of
cattle, who would have been in
good circumstances had prices remained
as they were, have gone out of the business
or are almost hopelessly involved in debt,
brought on by living expenses while they
were vainly hoping for a rise in prices. So
much money was made in cattle a few years
ago, and so many fellows grew suddenly
rich in the business that there was craze
for ranching, and thousands invested in an
industry which was paying all the way
from a hundred to thousand per cent.
profit. The result was what we have wit
messed during the past three years-over-
stocked ranges, bankrupt ranchers, sup
ply of beef greatly in excess of the de-
mand, and prices falling to Il point
where the more cattle man raises the
poorer he is. 1t will help matters if there
shall be big foreign demand to take away
the surplus.
In this connection may be mentioned the
peculiar fact that when the price of cattle
was double what it is now, the butchers
charged no more for beef than they do to-
day. This suggests that formerly the
butcher business was decidedly risky, if
not Improbable, or else the business now
is the most lucrative in the country.
