THE OFFICERS AND THE OUTLAWS

/. The capture of the two young des-
peradoes whose exploits have kept this
community in ferment for several
! days past. viii tend to quiet affairs.
and will be regarded with great salts
faction by the majority of the people.
The feelings Of the public in regard to
this matter have been to some extent
conflicting. Many have denounced
the culprits as murderers because of
| their Staying of two officers of the law
Others entertain the idea that the
young men in endeavoring to make
their escape from the officers after
committing a petty offense, were so as
sailed that they had to shoot in self
defense and that their crime does not
amount to murder. That will be for
the courts and a jury to decide 1t is
relief to know that they are cap
tured and that they will have the op-
portunity to stand a fair trial
A great many harsh and uncalled
for remarks were made during the ex-
element about the failure of the Off
GERS who went after them to secure
their arrest. 1t is very easy to make
fun of men placed in a position of
danger and who have to exercise eau
ton so as not to expose themselves to
needless risks. But those persons who
indulge in such criticisms would prob
ably do no better if as well as the
officers who obeyed orders in hunting
for the criminals
One very singular remark on this
subject is made by the Tribune as fol-
lows:
In Oklahoma when a band of out
laws show up, the whole country. five
hundred men as reported, turn out to
hunt them down. In Utah, the five
hundred turn out to help the outlaws"
We regard this as libel on the law
abiding people of this territory. 1t is
not true. Neither 500 nor 100 nor any
number of men, so far as is known,
have turned out to help the outlaws.
Some sympathy has been expressed for
the young culprits, no doubt But that
sentiment has not been general. It is
thought that if a proper course had
been taken when the boys stole the
strawberries, the succeeding crimes
which followed would not have been
perpetrated, and the community would
have been saved the excitement, the
trouble and the expense which have
been entailed. That is about the extent
of the aid afforded to the outlaws.
We repudiate the statement that the
people of Utah turned out 500 strong
to help outlaws who are being hunted
down by the officers. 1t is a bad i'm
preston to make abroad of the state
Of public feeling in Utah in regard to
crime. There is no excuse for the
falsehood. for it has not the slightest
foundation in fact.

objected to by the Tribune, which has
taken the ground that Congress is
sovereign and supreme over all of the
affairs of a territory.
Our neighbor is in very bad way
over this women voting question. 1t
hates women suffrage, and the idea
that women citizens will be permitted
to vote at the first state election, up
sets its equilibrium and sets it in
fit of raving.
There is no intention to play any
trick upon the Republican party or
upon any other party. If the courts
decide that women citizens in Utah
have the right to vote at the first
state election, they will vote if they
choose to cast their ballots. The right
will be free to women of each party
or of no party. There is no need for
anger about it nor is there any use in
sophistry

VERY ENCOURAGING.

Hon. Benton McMillin is a staunch
recently made tour of the South and
noted the revival of. trade and the
signs of prosperity to be met with
everywhere. On arriving in Washing
ton, D. c., he was interviewed on this
subject and said:
This is no ordinary boom, it has a
solid foundation and has come to stay.
People say good times are coming.
But that is not all. They are, in a
measure, already here, and will, mark
my words, be followed by an era of
prosperity just as remarkable and
senseless as was the panic from which
we are now recovering.
POLITICALLY this great tidal wave of
prosperity cannot fail to have a
marked effect, and this effect will be as
national in its character as the good
times. The party in power, whether
justly Jus ~; or n9f is always held responsible
Tor existing conditions, as witness the
vote OF the people at the last election,
when Democratic voters were so scarce
IN some sections of the country as to
almost be curiosities. 1t will be differ
ent next time, and between now and
the next election 1 am sure Will be
witnessed one of the most remarkable
reversals of the peoples judgment on
record. New York, thanks to our re-
form friends, is certain to go Demo-
cratic and l have equal confidence in
the presidential result in 1885,
The foregoing may not be pleasing
to some of our Republican friends but
it will prove encouraging TO Demo-
Gratis everywhere. 1t is founded on
facts and good reason and is therefore
worth reproducing and repeating. Pass
it along

THE FOOL KILLER NEEDED.

If there is any truth whatever in the
story telegraphed from London that a
son of Hon. John Wannamaker, late post
master-general, has been recently gi ing
at a cost of nearly thousand dollars
a guest, then the foolkiller is needed in
Paris Immediately, unless the young
scion of the house of Wannamakeri has
left that city.
1t is just such silly and disgusting dis
plays of snobbery by Americans abroad
that make us the scott and the by-word
of all sensible people on both continents.
1T is worthy of the most thorough con-
demnation and of tho most profound Com
tempt.-Detroit Tribune.

CAMPOs LEARNING SOMETHING.

The proclamation of Captain General
Martinez de Campos detailing the meth
cd of dealing with Cuban insurgents and
with those who have experienced a
change of heart and voluntarily surren-
dered will not have much effect, we
should expect, with men who are fighting
for freedom. General de Campos has had
more experience personally with (the ma
ture of the resistance offered and has
discovered that the insurgents Scan as
sumo the offensive with some degree of
success. Apparently. it was generally sup
posed by the Spanish commanders. the
captain general included, that it was only
necessary to hunt the Cubans in the for

of a bicycle tragedy unsurpassed in its
cycling annals. lady, famous for the
smartness of her appearance, rode into
and, finding the road inconveniently
crowded, continued to pedal slowly be-
hind that vehicle, which, it is needless
to say, was not in active operation Sud-
denly the driver applied his foot to the
lever and out spouted the water. The
lady tried to turn quickly, but her bicycle
slipped on the wet road, and down she
came in such a position as to obtain the
full benefit of the cold water douche A
pedestrian, Mortified at the accident,
shouted to the driver, who at once
brought the cart to a standstill This
