The Shooting at Fort Douglas.

The shooting of JOSEPH LEONARD at
Fort Douglas, particulars of which have
been given in THE HERALD. has been the
subject OF popular conversation ever since
the circumstances We're published. The
responsibility for the occurrence will be
decided by competent court.
There can be little or no doubt that,
whoever is to be charged with the act
by which human life has been destroyed,
the deed was unjustifable by military or
civil law. The rights of citizens are in
volved in the affair and they are prop.r
subject for newspaper discussion.
The military authorities at the fort had
legitimate power to establish regulations
for its government. No one will dispute
that. The rule that fast driving should
not re allowed was a proper regulation,
audit could be applied to civilians as well
as soldiers, within the 'lines-ot the fort.
Persons violating it might be subject to
arrest.
But we do not think any person ac-
quainted with civil law or military dis
cipline, or with the general spirit of
American institutions will claim that an
officer or soldier is justified in shooting a
civilian, who, even Intentionally, breaks
through any such rule or regulation. A
notice may be posted at the fort against
fast driving, just as it is on bridges out
side. But thai would not justify violence
to the person of the Individual offending
in defiance OF such notice.
Keep off the grass, is often put up
as a warning to intruders in public and
private gardens. But who would argue
that a rifle or shotgun was the proper
weapon wherewith to enforce the order?
post no bills,'' is frequently disre-
garded, causing great annoyance to the
public as well as the owners OF property
defaced. But killing a bill sticker would
not be considered the lawful way to
abolish the nuisance.
1hS Oti1SSi vi oOlQlSI VI DOtu accused
OF the shooting of LEONARD must be
turned over to the civil power to be tried
for the offense as soon as it is thought
proper to institute proceedings in the
case. That is for the District Attorney
to decide. The authorities at the fort
have been ready to comply with the law,
and there is no doubt that they will do
their duty in this instance.
The occurrence is greatly to be re-
GREETED. 1t must be fully Investigated.
The responsibility must be placed where
it justly belongs. If the slain man had
been soldier the shooting would have
been utterly unjustifable. AS he is a
civilian it is undoubtedly high crime
and may lead to charge OF wilful murder.
The relations between the officers at the
fort and the people OF this city have here
tofore been pleasant, and it is to be hoped
that with a proper investigation of this
serious affair those relations will remain
undisturbed.

west are entitled tc some part OF the
bounty OF the government.
Those parts of the argument are clear
and to the point. But on the main topic
of dispute-the conditions under which
the cession should be made, which is the
kernel of the arid land nut, very little
that is definite is said. The different con-
ditions existing in different states and
territories are referred to, and it is agreed
that the respective legislatures can best
deal with the matter. But the restrictions
which ought to be imposed on the legis-
latures in disposing OF those vast areas
are not even limited at. This renders the
article lame in vital part.
We are told that any attempt in special
act to enter into the means of reclamation
and the dlsposing of the lands would lead
to complications. But on the other hand,
it would seem that the absence of some
general rules for those purposes would
open the way for many more complica-
tons, and also for jobbery and the abuses
which opponents OF the scheme are
afraid of.
In Wyoming, where there are very ex-
tensive tracts of arid land, there is a
powerful opposition TO the proposed
measures based on the presumption that
combinations of wealth and the large cat
tie corporations would gain possession of
the lands, to the detriment of the settler
and the owners OF small herds and bands
OF stock.
An argument for the cession of the arid
lands is not complete without some plan
for the protection of the rights OF the
people who are principally interested.
That the use of those lands by the states
and territories that include them would
be a good thing is not disputed. What
is denied is that they should be relin-
duished without some national guard
against local monopoly and greed. Be-
cause that important feature is conspic-
uous by its absence, the article in the
| Utah Magazine fails in the very point to
which public attention is turned by its
publication. In other respects it fur
nishes some useful data and good reason
ing in favor of the cession recommended.

The Arid Lands Question.

The announcement that the June
number OF the Utah Magazine would have
for its leading article contribution
from Ex-Governor ARTHUR l.. THOMAS.
on the ceding of the arid lands to the
respective states and territories, created
considerable interest in advance of publ
cation. The subject is of great import
ance and has caused much discussion
throughout the west.
The magazine article deals chiefly with
the questions of the right of the govern
ment to cede the arid lands, the common
interest in them of all the citizens of the
country, the benefits to be derived from
them to irrigation, school interests, etc.
and, finally, the conditions under which
they should be bestowed by the govern
ment.
Statistics as to what Congress has done
by way of appropriations for rivers and
harbors, roads and canals, public build
ings, railroads, schools, etc., including
grants OF saline and swamp lands form a
large portion of the article. The right OF
Congress to cede the lands is thus pretty
clearly established for reference. They
also help to dispose of thequestion as to
the common rights of the general public
to the arid lands and the proceeds of their
sale, and the fact is made to appear that
the people of the east have received more
than their share of appropriations OF pub
lie money and lands, and the people
struggling in Tho remnter regions OF the

Among The Roses.
Grant, Fla.

The season for budding is here. If it
could be understood how easy it is, in this
favored cline, to have beautiful rose
garden, few would fail to have one.
Good strong stocks are 50 easy to grow,
and the transition from a good stock to %
choice eVcr-blOoming rose bush, is just
as easy. The Manetti rose, named from
an italian Of that name who introduced
it into this country half a century ago, is
my ideal Of II good stock, -strOnG, quick
growing, almost free from thOrnS. Ninety
five per cent Of the cuttings will grow if
kept damp. NOn can even stick the cut
tings about the yard, where you want
your rose bushes to stand permanently.
Plant large cuttings deep, leaving only
two or three eyes out. When the young
limbs have grown to the size of u lead
pencil, insert buds Of the choice roses,
choosing plump, Well-devcl0ped eyes, re-
moving the inner wood, insert on the
north side, shade the bud if the sun is
very hot. They take readily from May

In two or three weeks the bud will
have become attached, and the string

until it drops off. If all is we'll the bud
will look green and fresh. If it is dark
