MARIA BARBERrs CASE.

rev ordinary cases have awakened
more interest than that of Maria Bar
beri, the Italian girl who murdered
her lover in New York and who has
been condemned to death for her
crime. The jury could do nothing else
than bring in a verdict on the evidence
presented SO far all seems plain and
presents no difficulties. But there are
III the case what will by the public al
ways be called extenuating circum-
stances.
The girl killed her lover. What had
her lover done that she should kill
him? He had betrayed her, crime
that had brother or father avenged
for her with her lovers blood would
have justified such brother or father
IN the eyes Of all men. Having be-
trayed her, he refused to marry ner.
the only way to have partially righted
the wrong he had committed Bur
this was not all. To his injuries ne
added insult; he tainted his victim
Of her downfall, of which he was the
author 1t was more than the girl
could stand, and she plunged a dagger
into his heart. When she did so she rid
the world of a villain, whose loss none
will mourn. That she committed 2
crime there is no denying, but she
committed it under the greatest of
provocations. one so great that it has
aroused more or less public sympathy
in her behalf. The law afforded her
no remedy whatever for the insult that
was being heaped upon her by the man
who had committed that wrong. She
slew the man who had wronged her.
then gloried in her wrong. The law
was ignored and a crime committed:
humanity asserted itself and was
avenged. The law must be maintained.
and those who break IL suffer the con-
sequences of their act: but something
is wrong somewhere when such crimes
as those against Maria Barberi can be
committed, the victim tainted and
have no redress adequate to her suf-
ferings. Hers is a case for executive
clemency

from Utah. What has he done that
he should be exalted to such a posi-
ton? Is there anything in his record
in public bodies where he has figured
cutting but a very poor figure-to
recommend him for such a place? Con-
sidering his course at the Denver con-
vention Of Republican Leagues, when
the silver straddle took place and he
accepted and justified it, how could he
be depended upon to represent his con-
stltuents if the Office he lusts after
were obtained? Weighing the charac-
ter he has established for inconsis-
tency and Standardization how much
of Recommendation is there to be
found in that to support his preten-
sions? Can anybody point out the ser
vices ne has performed for Utah? Is
there anything in his attachments
which would Justify his selection for
the high Office to which he aspires?
The services rendered by Senator
Jones and Senator Sherman to the
people of Nevada, on which he pre-,
dlcates the justice of their claims and
the righteousness Of their election, may
have been all that he asserts; and if
so do they not stand out in striking
contrast to the blank which would
serve to show the extent of his services
to the people of Utah?
These questions are suggested by his
own queries in relation TO other per
sons who are said to be candidates for
offices in the gift OF the people in this
territory. If they lack in those quail
hcations and in those claims for SER
vices rendered which he appears to
thlnk are necessary for office, does he
stand any higher in these particulars
than they? The public have a right
to make these comparisons and that is
all perfectly consistent with "a clean
campaign

QUESTIONS RETURNED.

When a gentleman .aspires to a high
Office and boldly proclaims that it is
his intention to gain it, men weigh his
recommendations for the place. They
ask, what has he done? What is he
capable of doing? How would he
represent his constituents if the office
were obtained? What character has
he established behind him? What SER
vices has he performed? What attain
ments has he acquired to justify his
ambition?
The foregoing is from the Salt Lake
Tribune. The questions asked are all
in reference TO some gentleman who
"aspires to high office and boldly pro-
claims that it is his intention to gain
it." Are not the same questions
equally relevant in the case of one
who aspires and does not boldly pro-
claim his Intentions but does not
deny them nor make any protest when
his friends assert his claims? What
difference is there between one who
aspires and proclaims it. and another
who also aspires but does not pro-
claim it? Is not the advantage, so far
as character is concerned, with the
bold and open and avowed candidate?
It is understood that the writer of
the paragraph quoted above aspires to
the high Office of United States Senator

a DEMOCRATIC DUTY.


The Herald once more calls the at
tention of the Democratic managers in
| this territory to the convention which
is to be held in Washington, D. c., on
August 1S- That is to be a very i'm
portant assembly. Delegates are ex-
pected to be present from the various
states and territories throughout the
Union.
1t is anticipated that arrangements
will be made at that meeting for a
vigorous silver campaign in every part
OF the country. 1t is to be carried on
within the lines of the Democratic
party. The delegates who attend will
be expected to work for this purpose
in the state or territory which they
represent at the meeting. Active.
genuine advocates of the free coinage
OF silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 with
out waiting for the action of any
foreign country, Should be sent to that
convention.
Although it is certain that there is
no hope for silver except through the
Democratic party. it is not by any
means certain that the Democratic
party at its next national convention
viii declare unequivocally in favor Of
Tree coinage in the way we have men
toned. Powerful and influential De
mocrats are on the other side of this
question. They are doing all that is
possible to stem the silver tide which
IS rising and to set UD the golden bar
rler, Unless much active work is per
formed in behalf of silver, and the
masses of the voters are aroused to the
Importance OF this question both to
them and to the country. there is dan
ger that the alarmists, the half
hearted. and the bogus bimetallists will
gain the sway, and induce the conven-
ton to refrain from that outspoken
declaration which shall pledge the
party to genuine and fearless. silver
policy.
For this reason. If for no other
every silver state and territory sbould
send a strong silver champion to the
washington convention. Shall Utah
go unrepresented? VIII the Demo-
cratic party be so supine on this oues-
tlon as to let that assembly 90 nv
without taking any part in it? VIII
not the leaders of the party take some
steps to secure voice in that con-
Ventlon? We suggest to the Demo-
cratic territorial committee that some
thing should be done without DELAY 70
snow that Utah is alive to her own
interests and the general welfare of
the country and of their party. Send

Convention!

HUMANE BULL FIGHTS.

The bull fights to be given at the At
lanta exposition are TO be bloodless and
without brutality. The horns Of the bulls
are TO be padded; the horses OF the pic
adores will be covered with strong leather
shields. and the men are TO carry, in
stead of lances, wooden poles that Will
not hurt the bulls 1t is to be hoped
that the hoofs of the bull may be also
padded, so that in case he overIurns any
of his opponents he may not trample
them to death. \ bull fight under these
humane conditions should Prove as sooth-
ing 10 the nerves of the spectators as a
dose of bromo settler. Everything being
done for the safety and comfort of the
bull it would not be at all surprising if
he really enjoyed II and felt as if he
were having delightful sheol of time.

THE CUBAN REBELLIoN.

General Campos has not succeeded
thus far in suppressing the Cuban re-
bellion. Every day that elapses gives
encoura cement to the revolutionists
and aids their cause. At this season
it is natural that the Spanish troops
in Cuba should not be very active, nor
can the Cubans themselves carry on
hostilities so well, though they can of
course stand much more than can the
/ troops sent against them. Cooler
weather may see campaigns inaugu-
rated that will be far more decisive
than any so far undertaken. Campos
has suppressed attempted revolution in
Cuba before and is not ignorant of
what he has to meet. And it is this
fact that gives hope to the Cubans,
for thus far he fhas not realized any
hopes held by the Madrid authorities
No doubt that which they now fear,
and for which the revolutionists are
praying, is the recognition by the Uni
ted States government Of belligerent
rights in the Cubans. They have ap-
preached very near the point where
such rights are usually granted. Were
plete and authentic it is quite likely
that it would be of such a nature as
to warrant recognition of a state of
belligerency.
1t is but natural that the American
people should sympathize with the
Cubans in their struggle for liberty.
There is nothing in the history of
SPANS dealings with her colonies or
with the western continent to beget q
sympathy for her in American breasts
From the days when Pizzaro marched
conqueror through Peru, down to the
present, Spain has had but one object
in Amerca-the extraction of as much
wealth as possible. There her interest
begins, there it ends; the gold of the
Incas is replaced by the gold of the
Cubans
1t is said that the people of Cuba
are not prepared for elf-government,
and it is quite probable that there
would be failures in their first at
tempts towards it, But it should not
be forgotten that they never can be
prepared for it under Spanish rule
The question that now confronts this
government in the matter is, Have
they SO conducted their revolution and
shown such capacity in carrying on
the war as to justify their recognition |
as belligerents? 1t begins TO look as
though they had. If they have, then
the recognition should be given with /
out further delay.

THE INDIAN SCARE.

me excitement over the alleged In.
dian outbreak in Wyoming has beer
very great, as Indian excitemants 81.
ways are, but the most reliable news
which has reached Us so far does not
bear out the reports which cause con.
sternation among the friends OF the
settlers at Jackson's Hole. The sior-
les of massacre and the maysing OF
large numbers of savages bent en-
slaughter and destruction. appear r.
be highly colored, greatly exaggerated
and based upon a slender foundation.
All the killing in the case appears to
have been done by the whites and
only the redskins have bitten the
dust.
1t is not surprising that the Indians
are greatly worked up over the s:tua-
! ton. They are denied what they be-
lieve to be a positive right; that of
/ freely hunting for game upon the
Elands and in the hills which they look
upon as their own. Added to the in
dignity is the killing of several OF
their number, for which they naturally.
after the savage fashion, demand re-
venge.
It is surprising that there has not
been a genuine Indian outbreak. when
all the circumstances surrounding the
Jackson's Hole difficulty are taken into
consideration. It appears that the
white settlers in that region have not
been over particular themselves in
respecting the game laws of the state.
yet they insist upon a strict compIi-
ance with those laws by the ignorant
savages, who have been accustomed to
follow the ways of their forefathers
for many generations in hunting for
game without restraint.
Notwithstanding all that, there
should be ample protection afforded
the settlers in that region and every
needfUI precaution should be taken to
prevent an Indian uprising. This can
be done in manner not to provoke
hostilities from the red men, and it
can be done in a way to arouse in the
savage breast that desire for bloodshed
and rapine which SAUNDERS beneath
nearly every cOpper-colored skin.
These Indian scares are so frequently
fomented for the purpose of destroy
ing the rowing bands of red men in
neighborhoods where they are unwel-
come visitors. and also for the purpose
Of obtaining the quartering of troops
in localities where the expenditure of
government money for supplies is
great boon TO the traders there, that
people familiar with these things al
ways feel a doubt as TO the truth of
reports OF Indian outrages until they
are substantiated by authenticated
testimony
We hope the Jackson's Hole outbreak
will prove to be one more among the
fairy tales which are blown away by
the breath of truthful testimony AL
any rate, while due protection should
be afforded to the settlers, no injustice
should be done, through action upon
wildcat reports, to the unfortunate yet
Indians.
