JUDGE JUDD INDICATED.

| The latest action Of the grand jury
In the contempt case should relieve
District Attorney Judd from the stig-
ma which has unjustly been cast upon
him in reference to his connection
with it. Granting that the foreman OF
the grand jury should have made the
complaint to the court, of the refusal
of the witness to answer proper ques-
tons, the appearance, instead, of the
prosecuting officer in the case, was at
the, worst but an informality which
| has heretofore been permitted without
objection. That constitutes no excuse
for the endeavors that have been made
to bring him into public contempt and
derision.
The statements and insinuations
THAT have been banded about, to the
effect that he was the author and
instigator of the proceedings that
have been had; that the complaints OF
excited husbands were made to him;
that he was possessed of an overween-
ing curiosity to learn the names of the
parties TO the alleged offense; and sim
liar stories We're the invention of
partisan and Vindictive minds. more
anxious to villify the prosecuting Off
Ger than to further the ends of justice
or cover up that which was intended
to be kept secret. The statement of
Foreman Hall in open court is suff1-
cient to disprove all those spiteful al
legations against the prosecuting Off
GER
The Herald has stated several times
that the complaint which led to the ac-
ton of the grand jury, was made to
that body; that it was the grand jury
who demanded from the Chief OF Po-
lice the names of the accused parties
that although the District Attorney
appeared in the case before the court,
it was the grand jury who made the
application and vino were represented
10y the prosecuting officer.
The proceedings before Judge Bartch
on Monday prove that these state
ments were correct. Whatever may
have been the opinion and desire of
one or two members Of that body, the
proof is clear that the very great ma
jority of their number, at least three
case one TO be thoroughly investigated.
1t was therefore that body and not the
public prosecutor alone that moved in
this unpleasant matter.
The Herald agrees fully with the
proposition that the acts Of public Off
GERS are open to public criticism. Also
that it is the province of a public
journal to expose such acts when they
are in abuse Of a public trust Even
the mistakes of officials are legitimate
subjects of journalistic comment. But
all this is very different to the wilful
Misrepresentation Of the words, the
doings and the intent of a public Off
GER with the purpose and design of
putting him in a false light and hold
ing him up to public ridicule. That is
not one of THE legitimate functions Of
respectable journalism.

THE RULE OF THE TRUSTS.

The Standard oil company, which has
become notorious as a soulless corpora
ton and voracious monopoly, it appears
has obtained control of the Sugar Trust,
which has been just as hungry, CON
scienceless and grasping as the oil con-
Germ that has taken in the sugar out
fit. The porfits of both organizations
have been enormous.
The Sugar Trust increased the margin
of profits on the refining of sugar from
50 cents per 100 pounds to S1.15. Its plant
worth only about $4,000, 600, it capital
lied at S75,OOO,00O, not a cent of which
was paid in cash. 1t issued on that the
sum of $4,000. 600 in bonds On the
actual investment-its plant-it made
in 1892 profit of $50 per cent, and in
1888 165 per cent. The Journal of Com
merce estimates the real profit of the
concern to- be 225 per cent.
The President. H. o. Havemeyer, has
received the salary of $4,000 a year for
that Office and $4,000 a year as trustee,
and Theodore Havemeyer as Vice
President $4,000 a year and S25, 600 as
trustee. While receiyeing these enor-

THE GOLD RESERVE.

The government has just sold bonds
to the nominal amount OF $oooOO'oVo,
but in reality for more, that the gold
reserve in the treasury might be re-
plenjshed. 1t has been SO Teplenished,
but now comes another side to the
story. Gold is again being withdrawn
from the treasury vaults and there
seems to be no explanation for it.
When the bonds were sold some gold
| was drawn from the treasury with
which to pay for them, and this opera
ton was condemned by some of the
eastern press as unpatriotic, certainly
a most ridiculous view to take of the
matter. But most of the gold was fur
nished by the banks in the syndicate
from their gold reserve. This fact Of
fers an explanation of the present with
drawals, whether it be adequate or not
and it is seized upon by the Wall Street
Journal which says that some of the
banks put out nearly all of their gold
to customers who had subscribed for
bonds, and that some of them have
been recovering their gold by present
ing legal tenders for redemption.
If this is the case it is the same
thing, practically, as Withdrawing the
gold from the treasury to pay for the
bonds in the first instance. 1t is
perfectly feasible method of replenish
ing the gold reserve of these banks,
and one very likely to be resorted to
by them, and If so resorted to no one
oir
An exchange suggests another factor
in the case. It is that those who pur-
chased the bonds for the purpose of
speculation may be demanding gold in
payment. If this is the case these sec
ond purchasers may be presenting legal
tenders for redemption. 1t is scarcely
supposable that all the bonds were
bought for the purpose of speculation,
but assuming that they were then the
banks would not supply the gold them
selves and resort to the treasury would
have to be had to obtain it. In such
a case where would the gold reserve of
the treasury be? 1t would be without
its gold and only the burden of
SOC, 600, 900 debt to show for it all.
NE treasury Is III MUCH CIIS Sdlle pO-
sition that national bank would be
in, that should borrow temporarily
from another bank the amount of gold
it is required to keep until after the
bank examiner had inspected its re-
sources and condition, and then return
the money so borrowed.
Issuing bonds will never solve the
problem that confronts the treasury
all the time; it is but a make-shift and
a most expensive one. If a country
can only maintain a gold reserve by
continually borrowing, the day must
surely come when its borrowing capac-
ity is exhausted. And what will follow
then? Perhaps the acceptance OF the
fact that a single gold standard is a
financial heresy.

Itself to redeem he silver dollar With
gold.
When paper continues 10 repeat
these fallacies and endsavors 10 slur
those who point out their inaceuracy,
1t is useless to try either to convince
tit or persuade it to be rational and
truthful. We refer to this matter
again that those who might be led
astray by its folly may not be deceived
unless they prefer darkness TO light.
The proofs of the truth of our posi-
ton that while greenback is emily a
promise to pay money, the silver dollar
is money itself, and needs no redemp-
ton in anything, are the articles them
selves. Take the greenback. What
I.does it say? THE United States of
America Will pay''-whatever the
amount Of the note may be. Now take
a silver dollar. What does that say?
"The United States Of America. One
Dollar" The difference between the
greenback dollar and the silver dollar,
then. is not the difference in the
market value of the material, as our
wonderfully wise contemporary al
lleges. That cuts no figure at all in the
argument. The difference is, that the
silver dollar is money in and of itself,
while the paper dollar is only a prom
Use TO pay money. The silver dollar is
United States coin, not redeemable.
but money in its own right. and the
government is under no pledge to re-
deem it in anything.
The truth Of this is further shown
in the argument made by the
same contradictory paper, that I'M
limited coinage of silver, as q
fun legal tender for all debts,
would make the silver dollar
all that is wanted in that coin We
would then have the same dollar as
we have now, but there would be more
of its kind. 1t would be as now, full
legal tender for all debts, unless a
contract had been entered into to pay
in something else.
Our contemporary, in it's reluctance
to confess an error and determination
to cover it up if possible. in one
breath says that silver dollars are in
ferior to gold dollars, and in the next
declares that silver dollars are re-
deemable by the government in gold
dollars at par. This self contradiction
does not deter it from persisting in its
fallacy. It is the policy OF the gov
eminent to preserve the parity of the
two money metals. Neither is redeem
able in the other. Both are inter-
changeable.
The arguments Of our contemporary
for the. unlimited coinage of silver at
the present ratio with gold, though but
repetitions of the same thing over
again ad iibitum, are all right until
it tries to say something original, when
it drops into error and folly and dam
ages the silver cause far more than 1T
helps the matter. Truth is not aided
by palpable error and good argument
is injured by gross exaggeration.

Perhaps there will be no<ighting in
Utah, but Il is safe to predict that the
invaders will go back ON their reserva-
4ion, and that they will be kept pretty
closely there in the future. No amount
of legislation, or eaty-making can off
set universal law, and if one man can
live on eighty acres while another has
to range over ten thousand to pick up
an existence, the first man will survive
and the second will either come into
harmony with the improved order Of
things or perish. The Indian of today
must either conform to the pattern of
civilization or be crushed by the press.
and the sooner Congress puts the
screws on by a rigid severalty law, and
The Withdrawal of rations, the sooner

RADIO Springs Gazette. The Indians

must, but it viii be in the former way.

.THE WILL OF the rEorL Z. Z.


We hope the Utah Commission. and
the canva ssing board appointed BY that
body. will not be deferred in the per-
sornnance Of the duty tievolving upon
them. because OF the lbellous ana I'M
iustidabie aspersions cast upon them
by paaeT. the name of which has be-
lrome the synonym for sander The
charge that the majority Of the Utah
Commission are engaged in a scheme
to defeat the will of The people Of this
territory a2.isss from i IS brutal vindic-
riFeness. is proven to be false by the
facts ana figures published in the
columns Of the OBTAINING sheet.
The Sanpete investigation was started
on motion OF a Republican member of
the Commission. Mr.. Ffoyt Sherman,
which was seconded by the other
Republican member, Mr.. Tatlock.
The ballot boxes were sent for on this
suggestion. Was that a Democratic
scheme to defeat the VIII Of Che. people?
The discrepancies between the books,
the poll list and the tally sheets DEM
onstrate beyond doubt that errors were
committed in the count, whether
through haste or otherwise does not
appear. The fact that the majority of
the judges were Democrats and that in
most instances the mistakes favored
the Republicans, knocks out the insin-
uation that they conspired to defeat
the will of the people in behalf of
their party.
All these particulars appear in the
! sheet that is shouting fraud and at
tempting to b1acken the character of
public officials because they are not
Republicans. What the Commission is
evidently endeavoripg to do is to see
that the will Of the people is carried
out.
1t is not claimed in this investigation
that there has been any fraud, or
trickery, or design TO do wrong, in the
discrepancies shown by the returns If
there has, it is clearly not the fault of
the Democratic judges. because the re-
suit was to favor the other side But
since the errors are apparent on the
face of the returns, is it not necessary,
in order that the will of the people,
shall be made known, that the votes
shall be fairly counted and everything
relating to the canvass shall be cor
rected?
That is what the Commission and
the canvassing board are attending to,
and the opposition 10 it is factious. It
comes from Republicans and is design
ed to thwart and override the will of
the people, and prevent Democrats who
had a majority Of the votes from OBJ
tanning their just rights. !,
There was a time when the sheet
which proclaims its own infa1ny by
these attacks in face of the figures
which disprove its own SANDERS, could
intimidate and deter public men from
doing their whole duty, when that was
infmical to the plans and purposes of
that paper and the clique for which it
spoke. That day mas gone. And
the people of Utah look to the officers,
legally appointed TO examine into and
declare the result of the election, to go
on with the count in spite Of the
mouthings of defamatory publication,
and see to it that the election shall not
be perverted, either by inadvertent er-
rors or wilful inaccuracies, but that it
shall tTuthfully declare the will of the
majority of the people in every county
of Utah.
