what this seed land requires rest
So remarked a practical, prominent
wheat raiser. ''For thirteen years, and
in many portions of the county, much
longer, yearly demands have been made
by annual wheat crops, growing more or
less, eight to ten months of the year.
This would tend to exhaust the particu-

HIGH Waters Imminent.

| The fact that the deposits of snow in the
mountains have been unusually large
this season and that they have been con
tinaed along into the spring, should OF
itself give occasion for instituting pre-
cautions against a possible flood. That
is, to men who know anything of the
history of this city and are aware OF the
sudden effects of warm weather here.
But when added to that it is estimated
that Utah lake is, i'll this cool time with
the slight flow of water from the canyons,
eighteen inches above compromise point,
it would seem that alarm would arouse
public officials to take some measures for
the protection of property from high
waters.
We hear OF nothing being done in this
direction. Why this apathy? Are our
county and city officers unable to per-
ceive the danger likely to arise as soon as
this unusual weather subsidies and the
sun begins to get in his work? Or dom t
! tney care cent what happensI
Past experience has taught old resi-
dents what to look for when the SHOWS
begin to melt in the hills and roll down in
torrents in the creeks. This remarkably
cold time has saved the lower parts of this
city from inundation, but it cannot be
reasonably expected to continue much
longer. And with every rain in the val
leys there is a further deposit of snow in
the heights. This will all come down
with rush in short time, then look
outI
Gentlemen, THE HERALD is no alarm
ist. But it strongly advises you city and
county officers to make preparations for
very high waters, and consequent dam
age TO much property unless some steps
are taken to prevent overflow. The signs
are all strong for floods with the first heat
of summer. Now is the time to prepare
to avert the consequences. Delays are
dangerous, and only fools refuse to be
warned when reason raises the caution.
High waters are imminent, and you will
be held responsible for the ruin they will
bring. Be advised in time and don't be
deaf to good COUNSEL

BREEDING Disease

It is said that the breeding grounds Of
the cholera germs in the old world are in
regions where decaying vegetation and
rotting carcasses of animals abound, and
that the bacilli are waited on the breeze
to do their deadly work where human sys-
TENS are in a condition for it. They
multiply with wonderful rapidity and are
carried from place to place conquering
and to conquer as they go.
Diphtheria, it has been alleged, has
been traced in this country to where dead
horses. COWS, sheep, ETC., have been al
lowed to lie unburied. The germs of that
terrible disease are conveyed in similar
way and with the same kind of disastrous
effects.
This may all be true, and it may be to
some extent fanciful. But it is very clear
to thinking people that healthful condi-
tons cannot be maintained, where people
breathe an atmosphere vitiated by the
fumes arising from decaying carcases or
rotting and fermenting vegetable refuse.
Where animals die off in large numbers,
as on ranges and places remote from
settlements an unavoidable evil occurs.
But where they are permitted to remain
on the surface of the ground to pollute
the air aud breed disease where they can
be properly disposed Of, crime is COM
mitted against humanity. There might
be some satisfactory justice in the results
if those who are criminally negligent in
such particulars were the sole sufferers
from the neglect. But it is not so and
the innocent often reap the consequences
of the wrong doing of the guilty.
While the alarms are again sounding
about vlsitations of cholera and coming
epidemics, it would be as well for special
efforts to be made by everybody to dis
pose of decaying matter, SO as not to
yitiate the air or invite disorders that are
all to ready for the attack. Never allow
dead animals to remain unbnried or un-
burned. This applies to people as much
in the country as in the towns. And it
is duty incumbent upon everybody to
make the sanitary conditions in their
neighborhood as Clearly and healthful as
possible. This is matter OF both public
and private interest to all.

The Annexation Question.

Nevada papers are discussing the annex
peared recently in a number OF them and
they all seem to view the matter in a
doubtful light. The State Journal, one
of the ablest OF them, says the annexation
cannot be effected without change in the
state constitution. The eastern bound
airy is fixed by thatinstrument, but on the
west territory may be added, and while
most Nevadans do not take kindly to the
annexation OF Utah, they would have no
objection to a slice of California, embrac-
ing the territory lying east Of the summit
of the Sierra Nevada.
1t appears, then, that though Utah
might be turned over to Nevada without
asking the wishes of the people OF this
territory, the state would have to be con-
suited, and it would take some time to
decide whether the constitution should be
changed to that effect or not. We think
that before that could be determined,
Utah will become a state in the union and
SO the matter would be effectually settled.
The Journal remarks that in Utah ssthe
people, with the exception OF gang that
is in power in Salt Lake City who are salts
fed with the present condition of affairs,
desire statehood, but do not want to be
admitted as part of Nevada" That
places the situation in its true light. 1t
may be a little severe on ''the gang, -
but the enunciation of truth some times
neoessitates the use of severity.
The Journal speaks of the Herazd's
championship OF Utah's cause and also of
its opposition to the annexation scheme,
and remarks that it would interest the
people OF Nevada to know why we are
opposed tic the proposed union. 1t places
the public debt of the state at less than
half million dollars, and declares that
there is million dollars in the school
fund. So that if Utah should have to
pay its proportion OF the debt, it would
share in the benefits of the school money.
| All the same. the annexation scheme
does not strike THE HERALD as a good
thing for Utah and we have heard no one
here seriously argue in its favor. Utah $
population is four or five times larger
than that of Nevada. Why should the
greater be swallowed up by the less?
Utah is famed for its enterprise, thrift,
growth, wealth and boundless resources.
Nevada is notorious for its decadence and
almost moribund condition. Why should
the living, vigorous, increasing common
wealth be made identical with the falling
state that is rapidly running down at
heels?
Utah is large enough in territory now.
1t will be compact and easily managed
state as it is. 1t would be unwieldy and
cumbersome with Nevada attached, and
Salt Lake would be one-sided place for
the capital. THE HERALD and Utah
people generally would dislike for numer-
GUS and obvious reasons to have the cap
ital anywhere else.
Utah is important enough to enter the
Union as a free and sovereign state OF
herself. She does not want to lose her
identity. All her territorial affairs are in
shape for the change into statehood, and
they would be thrown into confusion by
the revolution which would make all her

time, and that all labor beyond that shall
be considered as extra. But labor must
be left free to make its own terms, and
employers to arrange with their workmen
as they may mutually agree.
Professional labor agitators, who
do most OF their work by the
energy OF iaw-bone and the sweat Of
their tongues, may declaim Tor legis:
lation to put brakes on labor and
obstacles in the way of capital. But the
less interference by law the better with
those relations which must be governed
in spirit of mutual accommodation, and
with a view to circumstances and con-
ditions that are various and cannot be
wisely controlled by rigid regulations.
Champions of the rights of labor and the
liberty OF the working classes should be
careful what they clamor for. lest they
bring bondage instead of freedom and tie
up the hands which they profess to aim to
strengthen.

counties and cities and towns subordinate
to another and different state, with an
other set of laws and institutions and
taxes and methods.
Utah wants two Senators and Repre-
sentative in Congress of her own. She
has also some well-earned rights. Hel
people pioneered the way to this western
region, before Nevada was born. They
brought civilization to the West and thai
was the basis of operations which made
the building OF Nevada and other con-
tiguous states possible. She is entitled tc
recognition in her own right, and does
not want to be absorbed and obliterated
by annexation.
The HERALD objects, for the further
reason that it desires Utah to be DEM
ocratic state which it will be as
an independent entity, but which it
would not be if merged into Nevada.
Take the Republican minority in Utah
with the Republican majority of Nevada,
and where would be the Democrablc
influence which THE HERALD thinks Utah
ought to WELD in this nation? There may
be some Republican politicians who would
like to see Utah tied up to Nevada, but no
Democratic statesman who understands
the situation is likely to support the pro-
ject-
The Journal win perceive that The
HERALD has some reasons for opposing
annexation aud it is frank enough to ex-
plain few of them at least. If the ma
jority of the Nevada people feel as the
Journal seems to admit, and if the feeling
in favor of Utah's admission is as strong
as it appears to be at the national capital:

date and there will be no need for its fur

Retribution for Crime.

Belgium has inflicted no capital pun
ishment since the year 1855. But the fire.
quent cases OF murder which have greatly
increased of late have brought up the
question of the revival of hanging for
murder. The year 1892 was remarkably
prolific of crime in Belgium, and this
years deeds of blood have far exceeded
ther ratio of last year.
The agitation of this question in that
country is opportune, because there is a
strong effort in this country on the part
of certain sentimentalists to obtain the
abolition of the death penalty, which
they denominate ''judicial MURDER
1t is claimed by them that capital pun
ishment does not prevent people from
committing capital crime. Sensational
items are published of murder committed
at the same time as an execution is taking
place at some distant point. And the
demand is made for the abolition of pun
ishment as retaliation
1t might as well be contended that i'm
prisonment for stealing should be abol-
ished because thieves still commit lar
ceny, even while other thieves are in
prison. Penalties would be entirely
swept away if the theory was correct that
they are improper if they do not prevent
crime. 1t is not expected that offences
will not be committed ii punishment is
made ever SO severe. But law is useless
unless it is enforced, and it cannot be en-
forced without penalties. Those penal
ties should be adequate to the offence
and the preponderance of sentiment is to
the effect that no punishment short Of
death is sufficient to meet the crime of
wilful murder.
Retribution should not be COMPOUNDED
with retaliation. The infection of legal
penalty must not be classed with revenge.
Execution for capital crime is not ''ju-
dicial murder. ''ic Divine and human law
unite in the enforcement of the DEGREES of
justice which must have its own and can
not be rightly robbed even by mercy.
The experience of Belgium shows that
if capital punishment does not prevent
murder, neither does its abolition protect
life or diminish murder. In all retribu-
ton certain amount of harshness seems
to appear, but it is law of nature which
is beneficial in its results, and nations in
embodying it in their governmental sys-
TENS have acted wisely. Sentimentation
must not prevail over common sense nor
the theories OF the impractical over the
laws that are essential to the protection of
society,

comnuIsory Elght-Hour Labc

The grand old man of England keeps
his head clear on most public questions
In receiving deputation Of coal miners
quite recently he exhibited that good
common sense and recognition of sound
political economy which usually dis
tinguish him.
Tho miners called on him to protest
against the enactment of compulsory
eight-hour labor law. This was little
remarkable, as working people generally
seem to desire such a Limitation of the
hours of toll. But these people saw the
disadvantages of the provision, both to
them and the employers, and they found
sympathy with their views in the heart
OF Mr.. GLADSTONE.
He took the position that the regu-
Iation of the hours of labor was properly
question for adjustment between
employer and employed, in each trade OF
field of industry. What could be suita-
BILE for one might be inimical to another.
No rule of the kind would apply to all
They must be left free to regulate the
matter themselves.
That eight hours is enough for an
ordinary days labor very few reasonable
people will attempt to dispute. But fix
ing that by law is another thing. A state
may legisiate that on public work eight
hours shalt constitute days working
