PITlFUL SCENE AT BROOKLYN.
Baby's Funeral at Which Its Mother
Could Not Attend.


Could Not Attend.
NEW YORK, Sept. IA pitiful funeral,
attended by one grief-stricken mourner,
started from the Brooklyn coroner's office
Even that mourner, fond mother could
not attend the rterment, but was obliged
to BID her last farewell to the body of her
baby boy at the coroner's door as it was
started away to the potter's field. Then
worn out with physical and mental suffer
ing she sank moaning on the stone steps
of the office. Tie mother was Mrs Mary
Smith, of Is Sycamore street. Her hus-
band was comm tied to the penitentiary n
year ago, and he has still year and q half
to serve.
The baby, Z months old, had been i'll for
weeks, but the mother had been unable to
employ physician, and it gradually sank
till it was little else than skin and bones
Its sufferings finally became so great that
the mother coull no longer wait for relief
and she wrapped the slender body in her
tattered shawl and started for the charities
commissioners office, where she hoped to
get medical aid. The hour for opening
the office had not arrived and the woman
seated herself On the steps in the chill
morning air to await the arrival of the
officials.
But a greater than any charities com
missioner arrived first and the sufTerinps
of the baby came to an end. Then the
mother was told she had better take the
child to the coroner's Office, as she had no
means OF delraying the funeral expenses.
On again she trudged with the corpse in
her arms, the poor garment scarcely cover
ing 1t from the rude gaze of the passers-
by. Finally. worn out by a walk of miles.
she reached her destination and stated her
wish. She was told that the body must
first go to the mOrgue, but her grief broke
out afresh at the thought and she refused
to allow it.
Then n good Samaritan appeared in the
person of County Undertaken Patrick Fo-
ran, VINO consen-e ed to bury the child with
out taking it to The morgue, although it
was done at his own expense. After the
lid of the pine coffin had been screwed
down the mother begged for another look
at her little one, and the good I'M
dertaker unscrewed the top to allow her
to kiss its face again.

but it is feared that several will die. The

the plunge of twenty feet to the bed of the

dreds were on the scene, and the 81 hit was
a fearful one. The mangled bodies visible
and the shrieks of the wounded were most
hearCfending and unnerved the stoutest.
Work was rapidly pushed, and in a very
short time all the wounded had been re-
moved, the dead recovered, and the doctors
were busy relieving the sufferers

When Walker told the judge that he
had no right to continue the case he re-
piled: But l propose to defeat you, NJ
Walker" How, pray tell me, without

And shortly after there was bigger
sensation yet. Walker said: "This case

"By what authority BY judicial an.

leave to enter motion to set aside the

judges retired to Judge Brentano's cham

end thereof WAS the biggest surprise of tie
day. When the judges again took their

The President Acts at Last.

The appointment of Judge BARTCH to
the position of associate justice of the
supreme court OF Utah ends the anxiety
which has been experienced by num-
Der of our Republican friends for some
time. The various aspirants for the place
can now chew the cud of disappoint-
ment favored and palliated with an
ingredient of doubt as to the tenure of the
appointment.
A district judge is not so likely to be
asked by the President for his resignation
as is an executive officer. It is possible
that the appointee may retain his posi-
ton, if he exhibits fitness for the place,
until the admission of Utah as state in
the Union. GEORGE W. BARToH has
made pretty good probate judge, and
he may shine on the bench in more i'm
portant position.
/ The next scramble and shuttle among
tt Republicans who think it terrible
thing for certain Democrats to be figuring
for an Office, will be the position of Pro
bate Judge, which is also in the gift of
the President and Senate of the United
States.
Our Washington specials this morning
give the entire credit of the appointment
of Judge BARToH to Judge ZANE, who is
probably most interested in the dispatch
of business, as well as the good name OF
the supreme court of the territory. Some
''taffy" is offered to Mr.. TATLooK, who,
it is stated, would have got the place If
BARTCH hadn't. Judge ZANE's word
goes to the fullest extent with Senator
CULLoM OF Illinois. to whose voice Mr..
HARRISON has some reason to listen.
Mr.. TATLooK will be overjoyed to learn
from THE HERALD's Washington bureau,
as coming straight from the Attorney
Generals office, that if there should be
any other judicial vacancy in Utah within
the next two months, Mr.. 7. will surely
get it.

Ogden and the post. ;,

The Ogden Post is in bad strait, for
which we feel regret. It is not a good
thing to become involved in a quarrel
with labor union. 1t always creates ex-
pense and usually develops a great deal
Of ill-feeling. The Post quarreIed with
its printers and the upshot of long
story, which readers OF THE HERALD
would not care to hear told, is that the
Post came pretty near suspending for
want Of compositors and only got out
Tuesday evening by aStight squeeze. We
hope the proprietors of the paper who are
now taking hold of its affairs will succeed
in keeping it afioat. Ogden needs good
Democratic paper and the Post ought not
to be allowed to go down.
The editor seems to be under the i'm
preston that whatever is of advantage to
Ogden is an eyesore to Salt Lake. That
is great mistake. There may be few
individuals who consider Ogden rival Of

the metropolis. and resent the erdeayors
of the junction City to become the rail-
road center OF the territory. but that is
not the sentiment of the masses of the
people. The Post says in it's latest issue:
The news of the fling of the incorpo-
ration papers of the Northwestern rail-
road will not be pleasant reading for the
Salt Lakers.
Well it was pleasant reading to the sup
porters of THE HERALD. 1t was pub
lished in this paper with appropriate
headlines, and we have no feeling but
that of good will for our friends and
neighbors in the north. A competing
line across the continent will be crafty
ing to the people of Salt Lake, and if the
Northwestern should connect at Ogden
with the Southern Pacific, they will none
the less on that account receive the news
of its completion with pleasure.
The prosperity of Ogden is factor in
the prosperity OF Utah, and THE HERALD
is for Utah in every part and place. What
ever tends to its progress toward the
grand position which it is destined to at
tain, is welcome to us, and we are pleased
to see Ogden and every other town in the
territory flourish and achieve renown.
Salt Lake has future all its own which
cannot be impaired, and it has no envy
ings for the success of other cities. We
hope that both Ogden and the Post will
'live long and prosper. -

Breaking a Contract.

The Ogden Liberal City Council has en-
tered upon its duties and commenced pro-
ceedings, after the formalities of OPEN
ing, by passing an ordinance fixing the
salaries of the various city officers, in
Guiding the mayor and members of the
council. This of course was matter of
Importance; we say so in no critical
spirit. But there is something connected
with it that gives reason for comment.
The officere elected on the Liberal ticket
took Office on distinct understanding
concerning their salaries. A stipulation
as to the figures was embodied in the Lib
eral platform. The scale determined on
by the council does not conform to it in
several particulars. In some instances
the salary determined is according to the
platform, in others the figures are made
considerably higher, and in one at least
they are doubled.
How the Liberal party in Ogden will
view this departure from definite pledges
remains to be seen. It is quite possible
that the platform itself was snare. The
economy it advocated was perhaps only
intended to bag voters. Catch words and
taking motives, framed only to win sup
port, are not at all unknown to Liberal
electioneering tactics. If this was not
the meaning of the salary fixing in the
Liberal platform, the newly installed city
officers will hear from their constituents.
It is right that all public officers should
receive fair compensation for their labors.
Parsimony is not true economy. There
will be no complaint against just remun-
Grafton for services rendered. But bar
gains bargain; and after being elected
on definite agreement as to salaries, it
looks like the infractlon of contract for
the Ogden civic officers to increase the
wages which it was agreed they should
receive. 1t is bad beginning for a term
of public Office.

Mexican War Pensions.

In voting to raise the pensions OF de-
pendent Mexican war veterans and the
widows of such soldiers from eight dol
lars to twelve dollars per month, it seems
the Democrats have aroused storm OF
criticism. That is because they have ia
vored revision of the pension list and the
policy of close supervision of all applica-
lions for government aid.
It is argued that while the soldiers OF
the Mexican war gave US about one third
OF our domain, the soldiers of the Union
saved the whole country. Surprising this
is true, are we then to bestow upon a
Mexican war veteran-who by this time
must be in the sere and yellow leaf-only
one third of the amount paid to soldier
of the civil war?
If the veterans of the Mexican war are
worthy to receive pensions at all, should
they not receive as mnch as any other
soldiers who fought and bled for their
country? Some of them came from the
South. Well, suppose they did,
are they entitled on that account to
less than if they came from the North?
The Republicans claim that it is the
policy of their party that no veteran SOL
der who has served honorably at any
time shall be permitted to become an OBJ
iect of charity. The Democratic party
will not advocate 8 different policy.
Their vote to the Mexican war veterans
will make no difference to their action in
regard to other veterans, and what they
propose in relation to the pension list is
no departure from that policy. They do
not declare war an any worthy pensioner
or applicant for pension, but only on
the sw1ndling system that has been fos-
tered by the Republicans in favor of PEN
sion agents and other robbers of the gov
eminent.

Harrison's Amnesty Proclamation.

The President has at length issued his
proclamation of amnesty to those persons
in Utah who have been under the bann
for violation of the EDMUNDs- TUCKER
law. An apologize air pervades the
document, as though the author felt it
necessary to remind the people of the
United States of facts that are, or ought
to be, well known to them, as an excuse
for his action; or as if some one might
think that this tardy recognition of
notorious facts might iniure him in the
estimation of strangers.
Outside OF this feature, the proclama-
ton is very tame and inconsequential
paper. It is principally useful as an Off
cial recognition and high statement of
the changed conditions, among the
Mormon people, and as tesfifying to the
presidents belief in their good faith and
honest purpose. To that extent he is
entitled to and will doubtless receive the
thanks of the Mormons and their friends.

The County Court Sauahhle.

The squabble between the late memb ers
OF the County court and the members
elected last November is totally unneces-
sary. 1t can serve no purpose except to
obstruct public business. The dispute
between the outgoing and incoming Off
GERS has originated with the former.
Seeing that they pretended, only few
months ago, to be anxious to get out of
Office and actually rendered their resigna-
tions, their present struggle to retain
their positions partakes OF the ludicrous.
The part taken by the Probate Judge is
a little surprising. He has so far sided
with the defunct members. If he is COR
rectly reported he takes the ground that
while the legislature of 1892 provided for
the election of county officers in that year,
it did not provide in express terms for the
shortening of the terms of the incum-
bents. He contends that those terms
cannot be shortened by implication, but
only by express language. 1t appears TO
us that the language of the law is suffi-
ciently express to meet all objections
The act Of March 10, 1882, under which
