INAUGURATION DAY IN ALABAMA.

Today the Governor of Alabama will
De inaugurated. An attempt will also be
made to inaugurate a sham Governor.
Force has been threatened to effect the
latter. But this will be met by greater
force, and probably the preparations
that have been made to resist the un-
lawful movement will act as a, pre-
ventive, and the civil war which might
have been precipitated will be entirely
avoided and go off in vapor.
Governor Oates will take the reins
OF power as the regularly elected can
didate of the Democratic party. Reuben
f. kolb, the Populist candidate. who
was undoubtedly defeated by a large
majority, is so anxious to be Governor
that he intends to hold an opposition
ceremony, in which he is to be installed
by those who have the temerity to take
part in the bogus proceedings.
1t is not very likely that even the
Populists of Alabama will be foolish
enough to place themselves in armed
hostility to the constituted authorities
OF the state. A few will perhaps rally
round Mr.. Kolb and give him the bene-
tit of their presence, but in spite of all
his boastings it is not probable that the
demonstration for which he has ar
ranged Will amount to anything more
than mob uttering protests and
formulating resolutions.
The real Governor and the pretender
will both be in Montgomery, where the
Inauguration will take place, but unless
it may be through the hot-headed follv

fed to fill.

would be easier and more popular to

FOLLOWING UTAH's EXAMPLE.

Undoubtedly the prime factor in the
building up of Utah has been irriga-
ton as applied to the agricultural lands
of the territory The early Mormon set
tiers began irrigation works imme-
diately they landed, and this has been
continued in growing volume to the
present day." says the Omaha World
Herald. Utah, perhaps, has done more
to extend irrigation than any other
state or territory. Her example in this
respect has been of great benefit to
the country and has shown what the
capabilities of the system are. She has
not developed the system so fully as
some states and territories that have
patterned after her in this respect.
The great value of her work in this
direction has been that she has taken
the first step, and it is that that al
ways costs.
Only the other day there came word
from Washington saying there are
various schemes on foot to utilize the
arid land law passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress. One of these schemes
is to establish model irrigation colony
somewhere in the west. 1t is proposed
to take five thousand acres of land in
some locality that will be convenient
to water and transportation facilities,
and place upon these farms a hundred
farmers, with farms of from twenty to
forty acres each. Now comes the sug-
gestion to follow the method of set

gram said "they will organize on the

mons. in order to avoid the objections
that people in thickly settled portions
of the country invariably raise when
they are, recommended to go West"
The great drawback in farm life
in the West has been its lack Of social
facilities. In the cold winter days when
nature puts on her most forbidding
aspect. TO be half a mile or a mile away
from neighbor is much the same as
being five or ten miles away. This
makes the western farm life dreary and
monotonous in the extreme, for above
ali things else man is a social and gre
garious animal.
The village system in Utah avoided
all this, and in earlier days gave pro-
lection against the Indians. one of the

CATHOLICS IN NEW YORK POLITICS

Just at present there is quite little
stir in Catholic circles in New York.
over the question Of the interference of
church dignitaries in politics. Prior
to the late election Archbishop Co1ri-
gan refrained entirely from saying
anything one way or another about
the condition of things political in New
York. The Rev. Father Ducey took
great interest in them, particularly in
the Investigations of the Lexow COM
mittee. Since the elections his excel
lency has economically admonished
Father Ducey to desist in his attend
ance upon this committee 1t is quite
likely that he will HEED the, admonftion
although he has not declared his pur-
pose in this respect Some have
thought that all this showed that

Archbishop Corrigan desired the suc-
cess of Tanmany. But all this is of
no moment compared to the assault of
Bishop McQuaid, of Rochester, upon
Archbishop ireland, Of st. Paul
] The Archbishop went to New York
prior to the elections and attended one
or two Republican meetings, and his
presence was remarked and comment
ed upon from his prominence. He also
occupied a. conspicuous place upon the
platform. This is the occasion of
Bishop McQuaids assault. The Bish-
op announced that he himself had been
more frequently classed as a Republi-
can than as a Democrat. He says:
l contend that this coming to New
York of the Archbishop of st. Paul to
take part in a political contest was
undignified, disgraceful to his episco-
pal office and a scandal in the eyes of
all right-minded Catholics of both par
ties. 1t was furthermore a piece of
meddlesme interference ON his part to
come from his state to another to
break down all discipline among
our priests and justify the charge of
those inimical to us that priests are
partisans and use their own opportJni-
ties for political work
The Bishop seemed to think it his
duty to censure and condemn the
Archbishop as otherwise it would not
be possible for him to restrain the
priests of his diocese from initiating
the example thus set. and descending
from the pulpit to the political arena
and marshalling their parishioners up
to the polls on election day. And he
claims they have as much right to do
this as the Archbishop of st. Paul.
Forestalling the plea that it might
be urged in extenuation of the Arch
bishops conduct that he was acting in
behalf of good government, he says:
Tt is no excuse to say that the Arch
bishop was working in the interest of
good government. Every other cler-
ical aspirant to political distinction
would say the same thing. New York
is abundantly able to take care of her
self without extraneous help, as the
last election showed.
This is pretty strong language, but
SO far it is merely the language of
condemnation and censure. Now comes
the language of imputaition. Bishop
McQuaid says:
But it is we'll known to many that it
was from no love of good government
that Archbishop Ireland spent so
many weeks in New York and so far
from his diocese where the law of yes
idence obliged him to be. 1t was to
pay debt to the Republican party
that his services were rendered.
This has reference to the candidacy
Of Father Malone for the position of
regent of the university, and mention
Of which was made in the kilograms
in yesterdays Herald.
Bishop McQuaid is not within the
archepiscopal see over which Arch
bishop Ireland presides, but if he were
it would be a case of great contumacy,
and no doubt the discipline would be
very strict and severe. The affair is
fast growing into a scandal of such
size and prominence that it is possible
that Mgr. Satolli may be compelled to
take cognizance of it. In many as
poets Archbishop Ireland has been
looked upon as the American Roman
Catholic archbishop par excellence.
There may be further developments,
and if there are they will be watched
with great interest.

with the approval of the Civil Service
commission. If such legislation Is secured
1T will materially lesson the rewards of
partisan services. 1t has also been pro-
posed to make postmasters elective. In
recent years contests for postmaster
ships have been settled frequently by
submitting the issue to a vote of the
members of the party which is entitled
to the Office. One of the difficulties with
elective postmasterships Is the want of
geographical boundaries of the territory

ency of a poStoffice is not definitely de-
fined by state, county, borough or town

The history of the Howgate. case has
been scandalous from the beginning.
This scoundral stole $4,000 of the pub
lie money. While in jail he was per-
mitted to enjoy extraordinary priv
ileges, and when, after remaining NOM
inally IN custody for time. he was all
lowed to escape, the impression prevailed
in Washington that there had BEEN no
real intention or desire or intention to
prosecute him. If the government is
precluGed from bringing this man to JUS
tice, it should at least ascertain, If pos
sible who were the influential persons
who assisted him years ago, protectected
him during his exile from Washington,
and have more recently served his inter
ests It might discover that Howgate
had silent partners.-N. Y. Times.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.

Inc case OF entrapping and abusing
a young girl in Franklin Avenue den
reported in Friday mornings Herald,
lis one of those shocking occurrences
that make ones blood boil with indigna-
ltion. Words are too feeble to express
the sentiments of horror and anger
which agitate the breast of every decent
human being, on learning of the outrage
lperpetrated upon an innocent girl.
The law in relation to such cases is
inadequate. Imprisonment for term
| Of years, or the payment OF. any amount
lof money, does not meet the require
Ements of justice for such an awful
crime. It is worse than murder What
parent would not rather that his child
should be killed outright than be
brought to such a shameful fate? What
Ia brute is the being who would thus
force his victim TO minister to his lust!
Such beast is not fit to live.
About on the same grade of debased
humanity, which is on a lower level
than the average animal, are the female
accessories to the heinous offense. Lost
to every higher sense Of womanhood
they are also devoid Of decency and of
|pity. The laws penalties are also in
sufficient to cover their Infamous crime
The Herald does not believe in what
lis called Lynch law However, the
statutes enacted in due form may fail
short of reaching the offense, they must
be upheld and permitted to take their
course. Individuals have no right to
overstep the bounds of the law and
undertake to infiict personal vengence
But if there is a case when the popular
mind justifies such a departure it is
one of the kind to which we now allude.
At. the same time we do not wish to
suggest in the remotest manner that
anything beyond the due process OF, law
should be attempted or permitted in
this instance.
The accused are entitled to a fair
trial and the full protection of the law
until their guilt or the contrary is
established. And then such punish
ment, on conviction, as the. law provides
must content all parties. But we are
of the opinion that severer penalties
than those usually attached to such
offences as this ought to be prescribed.
We regard this crime as capital. 1t is
worthy of death: Nothing less is
adequate. There are degrees in all
offences. There are some homicides
which come under the rank of murder
that are worse because of peculiar fea-
lures than others of the same class.
So also with. rape. 1t has its grades
though each is horrible and unjustifi-
able. And this is among the worst of
its kind, and carries ones feelings be-
yond the bounds of ordinary patience.
1t should be fully investigated and
justice should be thoroughly INDICATED
as far as existing law provides the way.

Until we learn further particulars as
to the Investigations of the Utah Com
mission into the reported Inaccuracies
of the election returns from Weber
county we do not care to utter much
criticism. But it appears evident that
there has been considerable careless

county is not the only part of the ter
ritory where it has occurred. The

the blame for any wrong-doing should
go where it rightly belongs. We have

citizens of San Juan county, Utah,

ans is just, one. These Southern
Utes have no more right off their res
ervation in Colorado than the North
ern Utes have off their reservation in
Utah. The people of Northwestern
Colorado have always demanded that
the Indians remain on their reserva-
tion; the people of southeastern Utah
have right to the same freedom from
Ute visitationS. The duty of the gov
eminent in the matter is plain. The
Indians should be driven home with
their fiocks and herds.'s
