The MAVERICK Case.

The advocates of the release of Mrs.
set back in the recent news concerning
her condition. 1t appears that the sick
ness which was made one OF the pleas for
her pardon was feigned to some extent
and self-produced as to the rest. The
medical officer at Working prison re-
ported to the Home Office that Mrs. May
BRICK had inflicted injuries upon herself
with tin knife and had to be removed to
the infirmary, several days elapsing be-
fore the hemorrhage could be stopped.
The medical officer is OF the opinion that
the object of the prisoner was to create
compassion for her condition and thus
stimulate the movement for her release.
In commenting upon our remarks con-
corning the folly OF applications for Mrs.
MAVERICK pardon on sentimental
grounds, and OF the better way of estab-
lisning Ter innocence if possible, con-
temporary intimates that proof OF inno-
cence is not required of a person charged
with crime and that the sentiment of
mercy is proper. We can but maintain
our position on this public question.
If Mrs. MAVERICK is innocent or
there are good grounds for stating that
she is, the evidences should be forthcom-
ing instead of sympathetic appeals and
references to her health. After culprit
has been iudicially found guilty, proofs
of innocence do become necessary in ap-
peals for release that are made on the
ground OF improper conviction.
When royal clemency is petitioned for
on the ground of mercy, that is another
matter and must be approached in a
different way. If the prisoner did poison
her husband there is nothing in her case
or her condition which reasonably calls
for pardon. And the sympathy which
was increased through her illness it Is
evident was misplaced. The fact
that she is an American is no
good cause for the sentiment
displayed, nor is it reasonable to
believe that she was convicted by q jury
in retaliation for the execution of a
British subject for murder in the United
States.
We understand some lawyers of this
country are preparing an application on

To Ensure Prosperity.

The prospects for business in this city
in 1888 would not, perhaps, be very bril-
liant. were it not for the disposition of
the leading business men to cooperate
and engage in something practical to pro-
mote the general welfare and ensure bet
ter times. The organization which has
heen effected is very encouraging, and it
is confidently expected that many things
viii grow out of it which viii set money
in circulation and attract capital from
abroad.
The building of railroad either to Deep
Creek in the west OF to the coal fields in
the east-both would be better than either
could not fail to improve the general
business affairs of this city. It would
furnish employment for many laborer5
and teams that are now idle. When
working people are busy and earning
money it stimulates all branches of trade.
Workmen spend their wages; very few
hoard any portion OF their earning.
What they expend circulates at home. It
does not take great deal of actual cash
when set in motion to keep up a healthy
financial circulation. The building of
either of the roads mentioned, besides
the benefits that would accrue to the re-
gion where it would terminate, would
stir up business in this city and cause a
general fourishing time.
It is shame that there are so many per-
sons in this city out OF job. With the
means in possession OF so many men, who,
though they may not be styled capitalists,
yet have very fair portion OF money,
there ought to be sufficient employment
to enable everybody to find work who
wants it. The lazy able bodied man OF
boy ought to suffer TIL he is willing to
exert himself, but the numbers of willing
workmen who have nothing to do are OBJ
jects of rational sympathy.
On the opening OF the new year, would
it not be good thing if every man who
can do SO would make up his mind to
effectas many improvements around his
home or place of business as he reason
ably can, and set some idle men and boys
to work: What each one would do
might not seem much in itself, but in
the aggregate it would amount to a great
deal. And while the individuals thus
given employment would be personally
relieved, the means thus paid out would
be put in circulation, which would re-
dound to the public good, and the city
would be so much the better, for every
Individual improvement enhances the
general appearance of things and is a
benefit to the community,
Let past local chickering's be buried with
the dead year. Let US face what is before
US with hope, vigor and faith. And let
every man have in view the prosperity Of
the city and territory, and so utilize the
means within his power that life, activity
and prosperity may take the place OF dull
ness and stagnation! This ought to be g
bright year for Utah.

The Victory in Wyoming.

The action of the Supreme court of
Wyoming in the Carbon county election
matter, particulars of which have APP
peared in the special dispatches of THE
HERALD, is very gratifying, for more
reasons than one Of course it is pleas
ing to know that the plot to secure the
reelection of the Republican United
States senator unfairly has been defeated.
and that the prospects are good for the
choice of Democrat to fill that high pos
ition. But that becomes subordinate to
whole case.
The court was composed of Republi-
cans, and acted without regard to the Ell
fects of its decision upon party affairs.
OF course that was the simple duty of the
judges elected by the people to pass upon
the laws. But in these days of party
bias, when otherwise good men some-
times lose their balance and permit party
exigencies to overcome their own sense of
justice and equity, it is pleasing to see
public officers stand by the right and
place duty before interest and inclination.
True, an opposite decision would have
been glaringly partisan and would have
exposed the judges and their party to
widespread criticism, but they should
have full credit for their indifference to
censure from their political friends and
their manhood in deciding according to
Justice and to law.
If a county clerk, assisted by two JUS
tees of the peace, is to make canvass of
election returns, and he may, being can
didate himself, assume, under any pre-
text, to cast out the votes of precint
in his own interests and those of his par
ty, the dissent of the other canvassers be-
ing ignored, the election affairs of any
county would depend upon the self inter
est and will of one man, and the intent of
the voters would become naught.
Also, if through some omission of form
which does not materially affect the re-
suit, the returns OF a precinct or county
may be thrown aside, and persons whom
the majority of the voters did not want
may by that means be declared elected in
place of the men whom the electors plain
ly indicated they did want, form would be
declared of more value than spirit, and
verbal errors of greater weight than I'M
mistakable intent.
The court decided in accordance with
good sound sense, and also with the pur-
poses and principles of the laws relating
to the question. Wyoming will now be
able to pursue its way in comparative
peace. The Democratic governor has
been duly installed. the legislature will
be properly organized, United States
Senator will be chosen according to the
wishes of majority OF the people ex-
pressed through their elected lawmakers.

party sought to retain hold in Wyo-

THE SELECTION of EDWARD MURPHY,
ir., OF Troy. N. Y, by half dozen Tam
many leaders, to be made United States
Senator from that state. partakes very
much of the nature OF the snap conven-
vention call of about one year ago. 1t is
machine made choice, and is rather un-
der the average of Tammany's nomina-
tons in point of ability and representa-
tive character. Behind ii there turks the
disappointed ambition and revengeful
spirit OF Governor HILL, who, we are
sorry to say, has been unable to learn
anything of the temper of the people at
large from the events of the last twelve
month. The New York World, we OBJ
serve, made a lesson of sharp censure to
the elements at work in the direction
mentioned, and in column article, ad-
vocates the putting aside of MURPHY and
the election of Senator friendly to the
administration of Mr.. CLEVELAND.

Affairs in Mexico.

It is to be hoped that the latest news
from Mexico in reference to the alleged
revolutions is correct. There appears to
be no good ground for an uprising. DIAz
is held in general estimation and has
made splendid president. The best evil
dence of his popularity is his reelection
for the fourth time. The country has
prospered under his Administrations, for
eign capital, particularly English and
American, has been invested for the de-
velopment of mines and building of rail-
roads, and the spirit of progress is moving
upon the people. The reported revolu-
tons appears to have been but flash in
the pan and has gone off in smoke.
The relations between Mexico and the
United States would be much more pleas
ant if the troubles on the border could be
settled. The raids made in the Rio
Grande region are alike disgraceful to
both countries. It is time they were
stopped. 1t is difficult to determine
whether the blame lies more on one
side of the river than the other.
But the two governments ought to arrive
at some agreement for an aggressive
policy, for the suppression of lawlessness
and the capture and punishment of the
desperadoes OF either country, no matter
where thew are CAPTURED
A great nation like the United States
ought to be able to exercise sufficient
force when necessary to preserve order
along its boundaries, and there should be
sufficient respect on the part of Mexico if
not for the rights of the settlers on either
side of the river, for the strength and
vigor of this government, to permit with
out jealousy or resentment the efforts of
the United States to stamp out the brig
andage and violence that disturb the bor-
der, even if the line has to be crossed by
troops in accomplishing the needful
work Mexico will have to join in some
decisive measures to this end, or be en-
embroiled in difficulty that may bring
it to an end as an independent republic.

Bannock County, Idaho.

One of the first things for the Idaho leg
islature to consider viii be the organiza-
ton of a new county. Bingham county
covers a very large area and is SO situated
that it costs a great deal to meet its neces-
sary expenses. Besides that. much OF
the property in remote places escapes tax
alton. The assessor is paid s., 900 year
with deputy at g, 900 a year, and other
deputies have to be employed by the as
SCISSOR at his own expense in order to
reach the property owners. 1t takes a
great many men in all the county offices
to attend to the public business, particu-
larly the sheriff's.
Delegates have already been sent to
Boise to urge upon the legislature the
necessity for division. Bannock is the
proposed name for the new county, with
Pocatello for the new county seat. 1t will
have a population of about 1900 and a
property valuation OF nearly S25O,O0O.
We have no doubt it would be for the
interest OF the people to divide the county;
that the public affairs would be more
thoroughly managed; that the expenses
would not be much greater in the aggre-
gate, and that the revenue would be
largely increased. Pocatello is a rapidly
growing town, and that which would be
Bannock county under the proposed di-
vision, is fast filing up with lively and
industrious population. THE HERALD
commends the proposition to the careful
consideration of the Idaho Assembly.
