THE HERALD AND JUDGE MINER.

The course of the Ogden Sun and Salt
Lake Herald regarding the decision of
Judge Miner in the Hamer cases is
heartily disapproved by the great ma
ljority of Ogden attorneys. Democrats
as well as Republicans deprecate their
lutterances.
We clip that paragraph from a very
unreliable paper, because we happen
to know that what The Herald has
said on the subject-and it has not
entered into details-has been endorsed
by q number of attorneys both in Og-
den and Salt Lake. But that does not
matter either way. The Herald would
rather be right and defend a right
cause than be simply popular. And
what we have said on this matter has
not yet been controverted.
We now propose, since Republican
supporters of Judge Miner have found
fault with the mild remarks of The
Herald, to present a few facts for pub
lie consideration. in justice to this
paper and to the officer singled out
for attack. as it appears to many,
solely on party grounds
We believe that fair investigation
of the case of Weber county VS.. Dan
iel Hamer and a comparison of the
facts and figures with the decision of
Judge Miner, will create astonishment
in the minds of members OF the bar,
and a change of opinion among people
who have been misled in relation to
this matter. At the outset of his de-
|cision Judge Miner makes the follow
ing statement of fact
ut appears from the facts presented
that at the time this writ was issued
Daniel Hamer. as county collector, had
in his possession SIS. 1884 of the county
money"
How far the inference drawn from
this very explicit statement is from
the truth, may be seen from the figures
|of the amount involved in the action,
which are as follows:
Delinquent taxes for which prop
erty was sold. ......................$S $3.50 eS
Collectors fees for making S45
original certificates and 845 dup
:. licates ........;:...............: 500 90

LEAD was TOO MUCH ron THEM

The course taken by the Republicans
in the Legislative Council on the lead
question does not show any strong de
sire to have the matter decided on its
merits. On the contrary from first to
last it has exhibited fear of free dis
cussion.
The bolt made by the absconding Re
pubncans while the debate was in
progress, under the regular order OF
the day, showed their unwillingness ia
face the logic ana the facts of the
Democratic side. The previous cues
ton was moved simply because of the
lodging and fleeing of the Republican
members.
After the squabble was over, after
the arrests were made. after the offend
ing members were permitted to vote
on a question involving their own con-
duct, after they had all purged them
selves of contempt without apology,
fine or reprimand and had expunged
from the record the minutes OF the
conduct of which they might wei
be ashamed, in order to give them a
chance to bring forth their strong
reasons if they had any Mr.. Hart
moved to reconsider the vote on the
previous question.
But they did not want to discuss the
memorial on its merits. They pre-
ferred shutting off debate. So they

It will be in order now for all the
little Republican bankers in the terri

about The Herald editor having kid

That the Judge was not careful in his
statements is further shown in this
passage in his decision:
Under Sec. 2.o27. Compiled Laws,
| p. go, the county court fixed the COM
$4,000 per annum. The collector claims
that under Sec. $780, Compiled Laws
1892, p. so. he is entitled" etc, etc.
Reference to the Compiled Laws will
show that there is no such provision
as quoted, and the collector makes no
claim as stated. under the Compiled
Laws" The Judge probably meant the
session laws of 1890. Every person ia
miliar with the statutes of the Terri
tory knows that there have been no
compiled laws since 1888. This may
appear a small matter, but we look for
more accuracy in a judicial decision.
Then, as a. matter of fact, Collector
Hamer's expenses for clerk hire, etc,
reached about the sum of $1,000; there
fore it is absurd to think he would en-
gage himself for the total sum of $4,000.
But in Connection with this statement
of Judge Miners, it should be said that
a careful examination of the evidence
in the case as found in the court record.
reveals the fact that not one word is
said about Mr.. Hamer agreeing to &C
cept a salary of $4,000. and, as another
matter of fact, there is not a jot of
evidence in the case to prove that the
county court ever fixed any salary at
ALL
1t would be interesting to know how
and where the Judge obtained his in
formation, seeing that it was not in
evidence. Is it possible that it came
from partisan newspaper source?
And if so, is that the kind of material
from which to derive data on which
to base a judicial decision? And can
lit be wondered at that very unfavor-
able comments have been made. and
that confidence has not been increased
as to the impartial administration of
justice?

Fugitive From Justice Kenneth +. Suther-

His mother. Mrs. lie Blanc. received n letter
from him yesterday. 1t was postmarked
Toronto, Canada and stated that the
writer was we'll, but felt lonesome so far away
from his friends.
Contractor Robert Furcy, who was one of
sutherland bondsmen, has had the fugitive
located for some time, but has not yet decided
upon an effort to have him brought back.
In conversation with q friend, Mr.. Furey
was heard TO remark that the Coney Island
ex:Justice had gone of on a spree on the day
OF his conviction, and In n drunken moment
had fled, but that he would come back in time
To save his bondsmen. While this does not
seem probable, a man who appears to know II
good deal about the matter said yesterday that

would return Of his own ~volition. II hc does

Morris Pearlman was charged, in Cen

Cowing, by Simon Harris. of No. 4O7
Grand street. with having obtained a
number Of watch movements by false
pretenses. The indictment was procured
against Pearlman last July and the
proceedings In court yesterday showed
plainly that Harris cared more to get
MIS- money than to prosecute Pearlman.
The trial was smut off by Judge Cow
Ing at an early stage-he instructing the
Jury To acquit Pearlman.
II think said Judge Cowing, that
an these loose laws governing false pre-
lenses should be repealed. 1t Is getting

or the class OF this complainant and

The Dissolution and Quick Rsorsanila-

Club Men Thinking.
IT'S GOING TO Be ULTRA EXCLUSIVE.
He Il . Clever Whip, but It's Not Likely
He Will Figure in tho Nay Parade
in Central Park.

II the current gossip among the up
town horsemen Is founded on solid facts,
the career of Charles +. Bates as a tan
dem driver ''in the purple is cut short.
The story seems to explain the re-
cent erratic actions of the New York
Tandem Club. A fortnight ago 1t as
sembled at Delmonico's for the annual
meeting and election of officers. The
officers signing the call for the meeting
we're President Charles Phzer, jr.,
Vice-President Frank Beard and Secre-
tary and Treasurer Burton Mansfield.
Instead of holding al election the club
formally went out Of existence as an
organization. The only information
given out was that II enough tandem
drivers could be found to favor the
project, the club would be started again
with new members and new officers.
The club last Wednesday was born
anew. The old officers were elected
again. and as a board Of directors for

New York Tandem Club for years, and
he is one of the best whips at that style
of driving in the city. 1t Is ar open Sc
cret that, owing to the noteriety he OBJ
tained last winter in the suit brought by
Miss McGrath, the club desired to
drop him from its roll. 1t is said that
this was the real cause Of the dissolu-
ton, and the rapid reorganization again
this month. Mr.. Bates said last evening
that lie knew nothing about the future
plans of the club, but he believed some
of the members were not satisfied with
the way II had been run.
In the National Horse Show of 1891 Mr..
Bates was a third-prize winner in a tan
dem class, and he has won in tandem
and four-in-hand driving at the Open
Air and other horse shows since. On
trail Park by Officer Monahan, on a
charge of reckless driving. He says his
arrest was an outrage, n he has pre-
ferred charges against the officer before
the Park Commissioners. or his skill
as a tandem driver there is no question,
and on this account many horsemen hold
that Mr.. Bates is fully qualified for mem
bership in the New. York Tandem Club.

1t is not news to say it showed
last Sunday. But for the imformatitn
of future generations we put on re-
cord the fact that the storm of last
Sunday has no parallel on the
weather annals of the country, The
storm was unexpected. The weather
bureau kept predicting hours after the
binding flakes were falling, "high
barometer, falling temperature, clear
weather. There was nothing in the
air, the clouds or any of the "signs"
to warn us of the snow. The elements
seemed to have stealthely spread all
over the country, and at almost the
same moment began to fall in heavy
flakes. The snow fall was the deep
est of the last five years, and without
precedent at this late season Of the
year. The storm extended from the
Lakes to the Gulf, and from the
Mississippi Valley to the Atlantic
sealoard. The precipitation at Lynch
burg, Va. was the greatest, 10 inches.
In the gulf states it is estimated at
one inch of water. In Logan,through
central Ohio, the snow was about
seven inches. The warm sun of Mon
pay Afternoon turned the snow into
slush, and but little sleighing was
afforded.

THE DIM STAR EYED RABBIT
ABBOT.
GAINESVILLE Signal

AauSSN LAG oikhHA
The rabbit cared statesmen of
Morgan county met with another
reverse in the senate last Wednes-
day. The members were engaged in
the consideration of the bill provid
in g that wheat bought from the
producers must be measured By the
standard half bushel. The farmers
claim that In using the small tester
many buyers succeed by giving
almost imperceptibly short measure,
in beating them out of five or six
pounds to the bushel of wheat, and
there is no question that, with 6
dishonest dealer this is practicable.
Mr.. Whittlesly was against the bill,
claiming that the passage of the bill
was not demanded by the farmers
of his vicinity and that it is no
necessary. Mr.. Abbott, who is
lawyer, was for the bill and, in the
course of an argument on its merits,
proceeded to give the farmer sena
tor from Portage roasting.
Mr.. Whitlesby got back at hin
in great form. He said that the
brillaucy of the young man from
Morgan and his wonderful flight
of oratory so impressed him that hi
could only repeat to himself th'
words of that poem he had Learned
when a child:
Twinkle. twinkle, little star.
How l wonder what you are.'
The laugh was on the senate
from Morgan, and the senate appre
ciated and applauded the sentiment
