only 100 executions? How shall we
answer to the fact that in 1895 there
were LOCO murders and only 127 exc
cutions? VIII this carnival of crime
be stayed by flying in the face of God s
unreDealed law, and characterizing
that law itself as legal murder?"
Certainly we shall not stay the sweep
ing tide of crime by that mawkish SEN
timentalism that adorns the murder
ers cell with flowers. Nor is relief to
be found in that feeble legislation that
undertakes to set aside the wisdom of
God, and abrogate his law concerning
murder. 1t will not be accomplished
by pulling down the safeguards of per-
sonal security and stripping human life
of that sacredness in which God has
enShrined it. No; as wise citizens, as
an enlightened nation, we shall find
our safety on the basis of Gods unre
pealed code, ''Whosoever sheddeth
mans blood, by man shall his blood be
shed; for in the image of God made
he man.
A lawyer once pleading in court for a
criminal affirmed that the purpose of
the law is not to punish the guilty. but
to protect the innocent" To this af-
1irmation that profound statesman,
Daniel Webster, replied: THE pur-
pose of the law is to protect the inno-
cent by furnishing the guilty" So long
as the wisdom of God endures, the pen
atty which he has affixed to the crime
of murder will be the best security for
the safety of the state

1T can be stated definitely that Con-

was offered the place of secretary of

Great pressure has been brought to
have him accept it, but he has definite

WAYNE COUNTY WEATHER.
Voluntary Observer Cullum Presents
an Interesting Report.


The following interesting report was
received at the local weather bureau
office from the voluntary observer of
the weather bureau at Grover, Wayne
county, Utah:
Grover, Wayne County, Utah.
Jan. l, 1897.
The year just closed has been phe-
nomenal and paradoxical.
First-Opening with ample water
supply. yet experiencing a shortage by
midsummer.
Second-A late and unpropitious
spring followed by a remarkable period
of dull and cloudy weather, which
seemed to force a growth of farm crops
and resulting in an earlier harvest than
ordinary.
Third-A dry, droughty summer, with
precipitation so unevenly distributed as
to cause damaging floods.
F'ourth-Yet, withal a genial fall, so
that despite the feeling of unrest that
nearly everyone experienced. fair av-
erage crop of staples was harvested
with the exception of potatoes.
Grover precipitation data for 1896 is
not fairly representative, for it seems
to be the only locality that has not
been visited by cloudbursts or floods.
The north and east sides of Wayne in
august anu september, respectively,
had rain and floods, causing much
damage, especially in the east part the
end of September. Yet Grover district
can show scars of terrible local floods
in the not yet misty past. The rain
did very little benefit to the ranges, so
that range feed is short and stock have
suffered and are likely to suffer still
more this winter. Eighteen hundred
and ninety-six was year compare
lively free from eDidemics and conse-
cuently was relatively healthy. Wind
ing up with grain realizing the highest
market price that has been reached for
q long time here, viz, at SO cents per
60 bounds.
