hundred yards from that spot the party
came upon the remains of man, who
was undoubtedly Merrill's companion.
The body was 50 badly burned as to be
unrecognizable, but it had been freshly
burned, the fire still smoldering under
the remains. The snow had been roughly
cleared away and a huge fire made of
branches and dead wood.
"The lynching sentiment was quickly
aroused on the return OF the searching
party. The roll of bills displayed by the
stranger was found on Merrill. He was
conveyed, amidst low and drunken rev.
elry, to Aelrose. He begged piteously
for a few days more OF life, and said that
if the respite was granted he would make
clean breast not only of this but other
crimes.
1.-The rowdies wanted the hasty sentence
carried into effect and their ideas OF swift
justice appeased; but better counsels pre-
vailed, and MerrilPs request was granted.
There had been mysterious disappear
ances in the neighborhood, not only of
familiar characters, but OF strangers, and
here was clew.
Three days elapsed. Merrill's true
name was John Jessrang. He had been
hung up in Helena some time before for
the cold-blooded murder of John Fem,
but protesting his entire innocence to the
last, ard no positive proof being obtain
able, he was cut down before the rope
had done its fatal work. He now con-
fessed to the murder of Fem and to the
murder of six others. His plan Of opera
tions had been to move from place to
place, to inveigle himself into the good
graces of men in the habit of carrying
sums of money and on various preteXts
TO invite them to stop with him, to ac-
company them on their Journeys, or to
have them go with him on some expedi
tion.
He had weakened at last, as though
murder had got to be. even with him, a
stale and Improbable pastime. He
seemed penitent, and made no attempt
to evade the stern justice of the Vigi-
lantes which was meted out to him.
81 have often wondered what would
have been my fate had l accepted the

ance of that Sabbath morning / often

aim might have transferred my exploits

herds over velvet foothills"

ON A TERRIBLE STRAIN.

The local straddler of two horses that
run away from each other is in ludi-
crous position, and has not sense enough
TO let ore or the other go and stick to
single saddle. Wealth, prosperity and
abundance astonishing to think of, and
penury, depreciation of values, lowering
of wages and ruination of agricultural
and laboring interests, at one and the
same time in the same country, are an
utter impossibiiity. And yet the Tribune
straddler continues to strain every nerve
to keep up his lick on both.
1t is useless to rant and foam and try to
change the question; that is an old trick
of the Tribune's and Is understood.
1t is not the alleged prosperity of last
year and the distress this wear that
are contrasted. 1t is the simultaneous
'unexampled prosperity" and terrible
disaster that form the dilemma of its
own making. Prosperity through high
tariff. and distress through silver depre-
citation, during twenty years, not at
different times, that is the homogeneous
proposition that it has TO tackle and
which it tries to dodge, but in vain.
In this endeavor it rattles away on the
old story of the country's alarm, and
says:
IL man has a treasure guarded By a
wall that robbers cannot climb or break
through, the security of that treasure is
absolutely taken away should competent
authority decree that the wall must be
taken down, and it Is not necessary to
| wait until the wall is demolished before
the owner viii take fright.
Well, who is it that has the walled
treasure, and who is it that is in fright7
The Tribune thus furnishes its own an
swer:
| Manufacturers have been protected in
this country by the wall of the American
tariff. They see the threat now that that
wall must come down.
That is all there is of the terrible
alarm. Republicanism has thrown a
wall around favored class at the expense
of the people at large. The treasure is
the monopolies fostered by the protective
system, and hedged in by the high tariff
wall. 1t is not ROBBERS who have de-
creed that the wall shall come down. Ii
is the people who arose in sheir might
and declared that the robber tariff shall
be demolished. Yes. ssthat wall mu ST
|icome down. This is no threat of q
party, it is the voice OF The people; il
is the verdict of the majority at the polls.
When paper that is doing its utmost
to create fear and cause alarm by pictur.
ing evils to come that have no existence
not even in actual imagination but only
in malicious invention, talks as if the
people are dreading what thay have per
enptorily demanded it needs guardian
to protect it against further folly.

WHO MADE THE "MENAoEe',

The announcement by the President
that starif reform has lost nothing of
its immediate and permanent impor-
tance and must in the near future engage
the attention of Congress, seems to en-
rage our Republican friends who, but
q few days ago, were berating the Demo-
cratic party for delay in attacking the
robber tariff. They call this announce
ment by the President "a menace even
darker than his assault upon silver'
We will say, in passing, that the Presi-
dent has made no "assault upon silver. -
He has recommended the repeal of an
acknowledged improper provision of law,
and many true friends of silver think
that repeal will be of the greatest advant-
age to the silver cause. But about this
'smenace" as to the tariff.
GROVER CLEVELAND was elected by the
people, principally because he had put
himself squarely before the country as
hostile to the protective policy OF the Re
publican party. They placed him in the
executive chair because they had conf
dence in his honesty and integrity and
determination to stand by his convictions.
They also elected Congress pledged to
the same work as to the tariff.
| Now because the President explains
that the revision of the tariff required by
the people will follow the more imminent
duty-the settlement Of the financial
question-his intimation is called a "men-
ace, - and all kinds of horrors and calam-
tiles are prognosticated as consequent
upon this alarming and terrific ssthreat.' ~
Do our Republican mully CRU bbers
want the Congress and the administration
to proceed with tariff reform, or do they
not? II they do, why call the mere an
nouncement that in regular order it will
be attended to, smenace?'' If they dc
not, why prod and snser, and spur an6
lgoad the administration for not rushing
pelI nell into free trade, - as they please
to call it?
But these questions imply honesty ant
consistency on the part OF those to whom
they are addressed, and that is perhap.
giving them credit for something t.
which they are strangers. They will, NJ
doubt, keep on with their contradiction.
and Misrepresentation, and the goot
that will come of it will be that the sim
plest as well as the most intelligent o
voting citizens, will see what arrant hum
bugs are the assailants Of the Presiden
and the party he represents.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-08-10

repetition OF the nonsense that present
distress under Republican laws, and Re-
publican duties, and Republican silver
legislation are due to the Democracy, but
ga parrot prating cry' and 'barren
demagoguery?'' 1t is also transparent
trickery and brazen buffoonery.
The rest of the remark is fair sample
of Tribune logic and constituency. We
should say person AFFECTED by the guess
tion' cannot help taking 'snotice OF it. -
But our wondrously wise neighbor says
if he is affected by it. it is impossible to
notice it. The Tribune is in bad way
1t should be lifted down from that strad-
die, and also given a few lessons in COM
mon composition and ordinary horse

sPRINKLING TAX QUERIES.

In city paper list of property owners
who have not paid the sprinkling tax is
published, with the amounts in which
they are said to be delinquent. These
were given to the public the day after a
temporary injunction was issued by the
Third District court against their collec-
ton. This publication ought to have
been delayed until after the hearing on
the Injunction, at least. But that per-
haps would not have been in the interest
of the paper which supports the party in
control of city affairs.
Leaving that as small matter, we no.
tice that this purported list Of delinquents
for the present year appears to be in re-
atty the list for 1892. This is certain:
That only portion of the names of per-
sons who have refused to pay the
sprinkling assessment this year are in
that list. 1t lacks over hundred. Why
discriminate against the non-payers of
1892 if the design was to publish the de-
linquent list for 1898? Or didn't the
treasurer have time to get out the proper
list so as to get it into the paper until it
would be too long after the Injunction
was issued?
Concerning this sprinkling tax there i
another and more important question
that number of taxpayers would like
some light upon. The records show that
in the report to the city council the
total amount of abutting property in
District No. on which the sprinkling
tax was to be assessed for 1891, was 325, 418
feet. Only about Go, 900 feet being repre-
sented in the protest against the tax it
did not prevail, as it was stated to be
only about one-fifth OF the entire meas
urement; SO the tax passed.
At first 10 cents per linear front foot
was proposed as the tax on property for
sprinkling. This was subsequently re-
duced to cents. At that rate the 325, :
AS feet.would bring in revenue of $22, :
779.2 &c. Less than 81, 900 of this was re-
sisted by the taxpayers in contest before
the courts. That would leave at least
s20,779 as income to the city from the
sprinkling tax.
The records show that the contract
price with the sprinkling firm, ian out
side company; no ''Salt Lake work for
Salt Lake workmen") was for seven
months at GOO a month. That makes
a total of S14. 900. Deduct that from the
receipts as per front foot measurement
and we have 1910, at least, as balances
overpaid. What has become of that'
What of the excess of 1890 and also
OF 1892? If it has gone into the treasury
it should all be deducted from the amour
to be collected in 1898, because it was
a special tax for sprinkling and shouIt
be expended for no other purpose, anl
the taxpayers should not be compelled tt
pay more than the actual cost of tn,
sprinkIing, such as it was.
While this matter is under considera
ton, and the courts are to determine
whether the expense of street sprinklinl
ought to come out of the general funds 0
the city or be raised by special tax, tn,
subject we have touched upon ought t,
be ventilated and that which is wronj
should be set right as far as possible.
