A SERIOUS SITUATION.

Intense anxiety is felt in reference to
the situation in San Juan and Grand
counties. That the settlers there are
in Imminent danger cannot be disput-
ed. A single spark might ignite a. blaze
which would end in their utter des-
truction. Their remote condition.
away from the railroad. renders it so
much the worse, as aid cannot be i'm
mediately afforded in case of an out
break
The Governor is ready to act prompt
~, when it becomes clear that the
authorities at Washington cannot be
made to realize the actual situation.
He has endeavored to make them fully
acquainted with the facts, but there
have been in the past-not in Utah.
however-so many false alarms, raised
for the purpose of rushing troops to
certain places, which would be benefit
ed by furnishing supplies at govern
ment expense, that both the Interior
and War departments are suspicious
of Indian sensations 1t is like the
cry of wolf! Wolfp and now the wolf
has actually come doubt prevails as to
the reality.
The determination of Governor West
to forward arms and ammunition to
the exposed settlements, unless aid is
soon given by the national authorities.
is highly commendable. Without
means of defence the condition of the
exposed people is truly deplor,able.
Some cool, determined and experienced
men ought to go with these munitions
Of war to aid with their counsel and
leadership, if needs be, the settlers
who are in danger
There should be no exhibition of
armed force unless it is sufficiently
formidable to awe the savages and de-
ter them from acting on the aggres-
sive. A small body of militia would
probably stir them into hostiEties. and
hurry on the conflict which it should
be the purpose to avoid. Regular
troops would be more imposing and it
is the business of the War department
to suppress Indian outbreaks.
The first thing to be done, however.
is to order the Indians back into Col
orado. They are off their reservations
without permission, if the words of
Agent Day are to be believed, and the
authorities at Washington should inn
mediately send word for their return.
If that is not needed. the army ought
to be employed TO enforce the order
and a sufficient force Should be in
readiness to compel compliance. The
situation is serious and public feeling
is in keen suspense.

1t is time that the Earbarous, savage
land selfseless practice of hazing should
| be banished from the educational insti-
ltutions OF this country. 1t is only pre-
valent in the higher establishments of
| learning where it would be naturally
supposed that the higher civilization of
1.-THE age would exclude it. There is no
excuse for its continuance. 1t is q relic
of the brutal past. In all its forms it
should be opposed to the death, and dis
grace should attach to every college and
university where it is permitted.
! If the faculty of every such institu-
| ton were determined on its suppression
| it would soon be entirely banished. The
aid of the criminal law should be invoked
liz stringent rules. fully enforced, are
mot sufficient. Every person engaged
| in hazing ought to be prosecuted and
punished severely.
The hazing of a cripple at the uni
versity of California, who was seized
after midnight. blindfolded, his eye
brows and eyelashes and half his hair
shaved off. stripped, branded and other
wise abused, has no excuse in the rea-
sons alleged for the cewardly assault
upon him. 1t was an abominable out
rage.
Custom, long usage, the high spirits
lof young col1egiates. all that may be
urged in pailiation of the personal at
tacks permitted upon students, do not
in any degree justify the practice. In
istead of promoting manly resistance
they encourage cowardice. for it is a
most contemptibly cowardly thing for a
host of lusty fellows to insult, annoy
maltreat and injure one who is entirely
at their mercy, no matter on what pre-
text or provocation. 1t should be
stopped and the law should be appealed
I to and enforced on every such occasion
Pubic opinion, which once condoned
those excuses as mere schoolboy
pranks, has lately turned against them
and they are coming to be regarded in
the light in which we have represented
them. And if disgrace attaches to the
places where they are wfnked at, they
will soon be doomed to the oblivion
which should overtake every remnant
of similar hrutalizing practices.

A JUST VERDICT.

The verdict in the Fenstermaker III
bel suit against the Salt Lake Tribune
is right, and forms one more proof that
juries can be just. The difference be-
tween publishing as news a statement
which a public journal had reason to
believe was a correct account of some
thing that actually occurred, and abus-
ing an individual with malicious in
tent, is so marked that the most ordi-
nary mind should be able to perceive
it. We congratulate the Tribune on
the verdict in its favor in this case,

All the so-called arguments to prove
that woman will lose any part of her
womanhood or of that divinity" that
doth hedge her round about, if she is
endowed with the right Of suffrage
would apply with vastly greater force
to woman's appearance in many of the
occupations which we're once denied to
her but which now have become so
common ITO the sex that nobody men
tions the matter. That women will be
IN any way degraded by expressing at
the polls the opinions they entertain
and discuss elsewhere is an absurdity
t1at is too gla1:ng to be considered
seriously. The nonsense that is ut
tered against woman suffrage DIS so
puer1ie as to be absolutely silly.

The article which appeared in the
Railway Age and which differs so much
with the report of the Strike Commits
sioners, is incorrect in many particulars
and does no damage to the report, ex-
cept where both have not been COM
pared. While the Commissioners report
lis open to some criticism, it is con-
sidered to be in the main a fair and ac-
curate statement of the affair which
that body was appointed to adjudicate.
The Herald published both without
comment and now makes these brief
remarks in answer to an inquiry from
the south.

1t seems that the plumbing on the
new city and county building is de-
fective. The city and county officers
have Just moved in and have no more
than learned the turns in their new
quarters when this announcement
comes. It is stated that the defects
can be renedied for a few hundred
dollars. which may mean a thousand
or two dollars, judging from what esti-
mates usually are when compared with
the actual cost. The defects should
be cured at once or they may cause
much damage to the building.

Of course no law of this country can
prevent Americans from owning ships
own such ships. but they are compelled
by OUT absurd law to sail them under
foreign flags. They do so sail them, and
in consequence foreign countries get the
credit of having more tonnage in the
American trade than they actually have.
Of course it is impossible to tell precise
ly to what extent this is the case, but
1t is safe to say that the mere transfer
to an American registry of adj vessels
now owned by Americans to the extent
of more than half their value would ma

The sympathy of our people will
be with Captain Namura and his
officers of the Takachiho to-day in
the loss Of Midshipman Hara by
drowning, The details of the
tragic affair appear in another col
umn. It is a rather curious coin
cidence that it fell to the writer of
this paragraph to pen a similar
notice in 1888 of the death, under
quite the same circumstances, of a
seaman of Captain Namuras for
mer ship, then in California waters.
At that time, as is the case now,
the events of the tragedy were as
mysterious as they were sad. The
coincidence goes further in the
fact that the burial of the victim OF
six years ago was directed by Mr..
Full, now japanese Consul-Ge
eral at Honolulu, who will act in
his official capacity at to-morrow's
obsequies.
