Who are the Guilty Ones {?

We have yet to meet man who does not
feal a personal sense OF modification at the
inhuman murder which has dlsgraced our
annals. There Is on every hand the strong
est desire to bring all persons remotely or
directly implicated In 1t to justice. In the
sll wise dlspensation of Providence, such
crimes will.occur and there is no protection
from them. The law does not farnish COM
plete immunity, and the greatest safeguard
which can be thrown around the people Ia
thorough investigation and the eevereet pun
ishment known to the law irf'oted OF all
implicated. In our mind the young woman
named Dye testified falsely in this case.
She should be made az example OF and,
those who In the future shall be slmilsrly
disposed taught to know that when Wit
nesses are sworn to tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the TRUTH"
that they cannot petjure themselves with
out undergoing the penalty OF their crime, o
tenn from two to ten years 10 the penifen-
tiary.
1t has been said that Helms mother knew Of
the crime before he committed 1t. IL this state
mont should prove true, sll those who are lgnor-
ant OF the fact should be taught thst people can
not hold converse with intending murderers
without duplicating themselves in the crime
hero is little room to Goubt that Helm had an
| accomIl'ce. We believe it from the facts that in
his first conft lion he implicated Dye, aud be.
| c.use tho money which he stole and concealed,
could not be found where he ssid it was. Mrs
Dye by her own confession, knew Of the murder
| room after it was committed. Why she ehoold
have kept silent until it was pumped out OF her
Is hard to understand, unless she hsd an accusing
conscience A searching Investigation, sboald be
put on foot and not abandoned until every ono
connected with the crime has been brought to
jus tice.-Rarrenton Nrginiar

say yes, II the grant could be secured; but
we Will nave to consider the practical ques-
ton as to whether a grant so apparently
enormous IN its proportions as to area
though now almost valueless, shall be
granted by the federal government. The
governor OF this territory stated in his
opening address | think, that there were
over tifty-tive million acres of arid land in
this territory, and that the committee on
statistics had ascertained that only two
mllLons and half were capable of irriga-
ZION. NOW, gentlemen we have got to con-
slder the question as to the practical effect
upon Congress of demanding a grant of
nifty i've millions of acres for this terri
tory, when only two millions and a half
acres o. that entire grant can be utilized
oy the territory. OF course. it may be said
that If these lands cannot be irrigated. thew
can at all events be used for grazing pur-
poses, and that among them will be found
the sources of the great streams upon
which we rely for irrigation, sources which
we must take up, in which we must dam
and lmpound the water. have no fixed
views upon this question. l am here for
consideration of all these questions. |
slmpl y suggest to you the question as to
whether we may not defeat any grant by
asking too large grant
NOW, with reference to the forests, we
all realize that each state ought to have
control of it's own forests. The people of
the state realize the Importance of those
forests. They are not only valuable for
their timber and lumber, but they are also
valuable as the sources of these great
mountain streams, and unless the noun
tains and the hillsides are kept covered
with timber, the SHOWS, which now practi-
cally impound the water and hold it until
it is needed will melt the sooner in the
summer, and thus make artificial storage
more expensive. Now, we all know that
the Federal Government at Washington
knows little about the practical matters
of the west. We have not, during our en-
tire existence, been able to secure but one
secretary of the interior, Mr.. Teller of Col
orado, although the affairs Of that depart
ment relate almost entirely to the region
which we inhabit. The commissioner of
the land office rarely comes to this section.
think the only appointment that has been
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-09-17

made Is the recent appointment from Mon
tana. They are ignorant of the wants of
the west, they are ignorant of our condi-
tons, they imagine that the conditions
which prevail there are the conditions
which prevail here; and hence we find that
the land department is generally occupied
in vain and futile efforts to dis cover frauds,
to set aside grants of lands almost value
less in themselves, to expend moneys in
SUCH investigations amounting to far more
than the value of the lands said
to be fraudulently granted, when
those very moneys, expended in the protec-
ton and guarding of our forests, would
have saved hundreds of millions of value
in timber which have been DESTROYED by
fires. tApplause.) l was in Oregon sum
mer before last during Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration, when the whole country was
swarming with special agents. | went
through the arid region there, and stopped
at the various towns, and l found special
agents everywhere investigating into al
legged frauds with reference to grants to
poor settlers who were hardly able to exc
out their existence in cultivating the soil
and yet at that very time, the skies were
overcast for weeks, and l may say for
months, with clouds created by smoke from
the burning forests. The very money
spent in these useless Investigations would
have protected those forests from fires.
and venture to say that in Oregon the
amount of value lost in that single fire was
equal to all the money expended by the
government since its inception, in the work
of special agents. Now we realize the i'm
portance of these things, and we ought to
have these forests within our control, and
l think that matter could be set out with
great force and clearness to Congress
Then the question comes, assuming that
we determine to ask for an unlimited grant
of all the public lands within our domain
irrigable, arid, grazing and forest, shall we
signify to Congress that that grant should
be upon conditionsa My Judgment is that
there should be no conditions attached to
the grant, and say this because doubt
the ability of Congress to declare the pro-
per conditions. They know nothing of our
conditions. They know nothing of our
country. How can they fx the conditions
which will prevent monopoly, prevent the
