that the peace officers, such as police
men and sheriffs. receive regular COM
pensation from the public treasury
True, but where the same officers are
witnesses in civil suits their compen-
satfon goes on just the same In such
cases they also receive double pay.
We have an idea, though it may be
wrong, that what prompted the grand
jury's recommendation is the fact that
there has been some criticism. at
times, that officers have overdone the
witness business before grand juries.
in this, that in some cases A would tell
what he knew, and as he finished in
cidentally remarking that B probably
knew something. and then B would be
called, and he would suggest that c
might know something, and so on until
the official alphabet was run through
in order to give all a witness fee.
Whether such talk is criticism or mere
carping, we do not know, or whether
there is any basis anywhere for it, we
do not know; but if such practices exist
anywhere in the state some steps
should be taken to put a stop to them.
The recommendation is one worthy
of some consideration. though it is
hardly probable that anything will
come of it. It has the merit of being
in the interest of economy in state ex-

PooRHoUsE TROUBLES.

A Chicago paper gives an account Of
some of the troubles the authorities o.
the poorhouse in Kane county, Ill. ex-
perience with the inmates 1t is stated
that some of the paupers decline to
work, few even preferring 10 stay in
bed under the pretense of illness rather
than take anv risks that they will be
called upon 10 work. Those who do
work, do so unwillingly. while others
would lord it over those in charge of
The poorhouse.
1t is the most natural thing in the
world that a pauper should be unwill-
ing to work when he finally finds him
self in the county poorhouse. Had
he been willing to work before he got
there he would not have become pau
per- Paupers usually belong to the
class which holds that the world owes
them living, and, even when the state
affords it them they growl because it
is not better and that they have to do
little something in return. The ply
steal and moral well being of inmates
of poorhouses requires that they be
made to work, unless there be very
good reasons why they should be ex-
cused. When they can and won't work
they should be made to. Doubtless
the experience of the Kane county, H.,
poorhouse authorities is very largely
that of the authorities in all poor
houses.

Her gorgeous vesture, million-pearled
Splashed with the blood of half the world,
High was her glory's noon; as yet
She had not dreamed her sun could seti
As yet she had not dreamed how soon
Shadows could vex her glory's noon.
Another's pangs she counted naught;
OF human hearts she took no thought;
But God. at niGhtfall, in her ear
Thundered his thought exceeding clear
Perchance in tempest and in blight,
On Europe, too, shall fall the night.

And lifts no hand. and speaks no word,
But vaunts a brow like theirs who deem

GOV. VESTS LAST REPORT.

Ex-Governor C. w. Vests report to
the secretary of the interior for 1895
has been filed. There was nothing
much to report. so the governor con-
fined himself chiefly TO an account of
the inaugural proceedings incident to
the change from territorial form of
government to that of sovereign
state.
1t is very doubtful whether Governor
West viii ever return to Utah to To-
cate permanently. His name will al
ways be associated with very event
full period in Utahs history, and it
cannot but be matter of congratulate
ton to himself that the old question in
this state was finally settled under his
administration. He was largely instru-
mental in bringing about that closer
relationship between old-time political
foes that eventually amalgamated the
people into homogeneous whole The
instrument for accomplishing this in
the first instance was the chamber of

NATIONAL BANK OF ILLINOIS.


The failure of the National Bank of
Illinois of Chicago is a very important
financial event. 1t is the biggest bank
failure the country has experienced for
some time; how far the effects of it
will reach it is too early to say.
The comptroller of the currency takes
occasion to put forth a very lengthy
explanation of the failure, a rather I'M
usual proceeding. Its object probably
is to allay any undue excitement that
might otherwise result from the an
nouncement of a failure of such magni-
tude; it is very much to be hoped that
the explanation will have this effect
for there are already too many causes
in active operation tending TO depress
business and retard a return of conf
dence, and anything that will increase
them should be discouraged.
The comptroller says that the failure
OF the. bank was due to the injurious,
reckless and imprudent methods fol-
lowed by the officers and not checked
by the directors, though their attention
had been individually called to the
same and over their individual sigma
lures they had promised to remedy the
weak points in the banks condition.
1t would have been improper for the
comptroller to have said that the fail
ure of the bank was due to rascality,
but such is the fact. Following on this
failure comes the announcement of the
failure of a couple of st. Paul, Mimi,
banks, one of them, the Bank Of Min
nesota, considered one of the strong
est banks in the northwest
These failures are very much to be
regretted, but it is impossible to sup
press the thought that had they oc-
CURED a month and half before the
election instead of a month and a half
after it, they would have been attrib-
uted to the candidacy of Mr. Bryan
and the campaign in favor of free sill
yer. This statement is not made to
point a moral or adorn a tale, or to
convey any impression that it would
not have occurred had the result of the
election been different. 1t is made be-
cause when the Murray Hill bank of
New York failed last summer though
the causes of the failure were as plain
10 be seen as the stars in the sky on
clear night. the officers of that in
stitution attributed the failure to the
bad effects of the silver agitation, and
their assigned reasons, absurd as alb
surd could be. We're seized upon by
several of the gold standard papers of
New York for editorial purposes to
show how very injurious TO the bust
ness interests of the country the
silver propaganda was, and to point
out how positively disastrous free silver
itself would be. Had this Bank of Illi-
nois failure happened at the time the
Murray Hill bank failure did. it would
have been used for the purpose of a
terrible example 1t may do him an
injustice, but we fancy that Comptroller
Eckels himself in his political peregrin-
atoms could not have refrained from
delivering a lecture on the evils and
bad morality engendered by free silver
ideas had this Bank of Illinois failed
at any time during the campaign
Everyone will wish that no other
financial institution may fall as the
result of this failure.

THE SUGAR INDUSTRY.

The Lehi Banner, commenting on
some remarks of The Herald's on the
sugar industry in the state, says:
1t is no use for our friend The Herald
TO fight the sugar industry for it is GO
ing to bring our state to the front
faster than any other industry can do,
and the quicker the better for the peo-
pie.
Our Lehi contemporary entirely mis-
apprehends The Herald's position on
the sugar industry in Utah. That in
dustry has no firmer friend than this
paper. We should be glad TO see a
sugar factory in every county in the
state. 1t is a most valuable industry
to the state, and brings in lots of
money. To the farmers who are in
close enough proximity to raise beets
and ship them to the factory, the in
dustry is a great boon, as it increases
the value of their land and gives them
a cash market for their products. It
stimulates labor and leads to thrift:
these result in prosperity, and prosper
ity brings happiness and content We
realize that the Lehi factory has done
all this for the people of Lehi and
vicinity. But realizing all this we are
not in favor of taking a portion of the
taxes. collected from all the people and
diverting them, in the shape of boun-
ties, to those engaged in the sugar in
dustry or any other. And if one indus
try is entitled to a bounty why is not
another?
The Banner fails to dissociate the
bounty idea from the sugar industry;
and so failing, thinks we oppose the
sugar industry when we only oppose
bounties.

WITNESS FEES OF OFFICERS.

The report of the grand jury for this
district contains this recommendation
There is an existing evil in the pay
ment of certain classes OF witnesses in
criminal cases. At present when city
or county officers appear in criminal
actions as witnesses, in accordance
with their duties, they are paid for
their services as such witnesses. In
almost every instance these persons
receive monthly salaries. No good
reason can be advanced why the state
should pay witnesses when they are
receiving regular salaries. OF course,
where such witnesses incur expenses
for travelling it is but just that they
should receive proper compensation
We suggest to our legislature to pass
a law that will abolish this evil.
The recommendation is worthy of
consideration. at least. 1t has been
urged against paying officers witness
fees in criminal cases that they are
already in the employ of the state
county OF city, and that when they re-
ceive compensation as witnesses in
criminal cases they are receiving
double pay from the state. 1t is fur
Their urged they should not be paid for
testifying in a criminal case. il being
a public matter in which the whole
people are concerned. any more than
for performing their other duties
There are certainly two sides to the
question. There is difference between
the duties devoiving upon what are
termed officers of the peace and other
officers. but whether this difference
should be recognized by granting one
class witness fees in criminal cases and
not another. is a question. Against
allowing them fees is urged the fact
