SUPPRESS THE OUTLAWS.


The condition of affairs in Uintah
county as described by The Herald's
correspondent, in his letter of the End
inst, is both deplorable and grave He
says that judgment on the county
should be suspended. Surely the re-
quent is reasonable one. The condi-
lions existing there are pretty well UNI
derstood By the people of the state gen.
orally. They realize that Uintah coun-
~ is on the frontier, or at least that
much the same conditions obtain there
as did on the frontier in the old days;
and they realize how hard, in all re-
spects. is the struggle of the people
there. A few really bad men can easily
make a bad reputation for any COM
munity, and especially for a commu-
nifty that is located in new and wild
country far removed from the centers
of population and civilization. Some
bad men in Uintah county have given
it a most unenviable notoriety. They
have not only done this. but they make
life more or less of a burden for the
peace-loving and law-abiding people of
the country. They are more than a
pest and nuisance; they are a positive
menace to be constantly guarded
against.
Our correspondent says there is a
small minority there that either aids
or sympathizes with the criminals who
have been committing depredations.
Those who do this are open enemies,
not only of the people of Uintah coun-
ty, but of the whole state; in fact, they
may be termed parties to the crimes
of the desperadoes.
At the present time the iawlessness
in Uintah county is attracting the at
tention of the people of the state; last
year it was the operation of the des-
peradoes who haunt the Robbers Roost
country that attracted the attention of
the people of the state. If not the same
band of criminals their operations, in
the matter of depreciation upon stock
and other property, are interlaced, and
they undoubtedly give aid and comfort
to each other. Things have arrived at
that pass that the people of the whole
state are more or less wrought up over
it. The people of the counties where
these bands Of robbers and murdererS
operate. are the victims of their law
less doings, but the people of the whole
state are interested in the suppression
of these bands. They should be sup
pressed at any cost, but in any event
the cost will be considerable, and the
counties where these lawless bands
operate are not only not wealthy, but
sparsely populated; this will make the
suppression of lawlessness of this ex-
character a heavy burden
indeed to them. The state should
come to their aid, for it is a matter
in which the state is deeply interested;
the laws of the state are being broken
and defied, and its good name and rep
utation injured. The ensuing summer
should see these murderers and law
breakers landed behind prison bars or

In making these rambling comments
upon this great state trial of Zola,
am reminded of the extraordinary
privileges assumed by the spectators in
a French court room, says the London
correspondent of the New York Sun.
An audience in a Broadway theatre is
quiet by comparison. They applaud,
they hiss, they groan, they interject
comments just as ii pleases them. 1t
is only when they are divided in opin-
ion and in delirium of excitement fall
upon each other, tooth and nail, that
the presiding magistrate interferes and
summons the guard to drive them all
out at the point Of the sword 1t is
difficult to believe it possible to secure
free. fair trial under such circum-
stances.
1t has been told to me repeatedly
since the trial began that agents of one
side or the other have daily gone about
among the spectators, offering them as
much as 20 francs each to demon

have had no opportunity to investigate
these reports, but they have been so
circumstantial and so many times re-
peated that 1 am inclined to believe
there is some truth in them. Such tao
tics are on a par with the lowest form
of intimidating the jury which the
press of Paris has adopted. These vile
rags, all of which heap fresh insults
upon lola each day, carry conspicuous

war for Cuban liberty" looms before
US as the only rallying standard of the
legions OF our own national discomfort?
Today the forces of national honor
and honesty present a solid front to the
disintegrating masses of Reputation
and dishonor. All other questions be-
tween Republicans and Democrats are
insignificant alongside of the currency
question. On this the Republicans are
united with the conservative element of
the people behind them.
Within the Democratic party there is
dissension and open mutiny over silver.
The party leaders are at sea and the
camp followers clamor for party
shibboleth.
Let President Mckinley hesitate to
rise to the just expectation of the
American people in regard to Cuba. and
who dare doubt that war for Cuban
liberty viii be the crown of thorns the
free silver Democrats and Populists
will adopt at the elections this fall?
And who can doubt that by that sign,
held aloft and proclaimed by such mag
netic orators as William ]. Bryan, they
will sweep this country like a cyclone?
In such a campaign, organized under
such leadership, the war spirit would
be inflamed to such a degree that all
other issues would be ignored. Con-
gress in both its branches would fall
into the hands of the free silver De-
mocracy. The president would be pow
erless to stay any legislation, however
ruinous to every sober, honest interest
of the country.
Cold imagination cannot picture the
possibilities for national dishonor that
lie in the triumph of the Democracy
through such campaign of passion
and CONFUSION.
Our own internal political conditions
will not permit the postponement of
Intervention in Cuba. Our own" must
party. War for Cuban liberty is to
be waged in reality to turn public at
tention from the shortcomings of the
administration and to avert defeat
from the Republican party. Here is
patriotism with vengeance If there
is not Intervention in Cuba, which
means war with Spain in all human
probability. the Democratic party, I'M
der the leadership of William ]. Bryan,
will sweep this country like a cy-
clone" Far better, in the eyes of the
gold standard worshiping Times-H Her
aid, that it be war-swept than Demo-
cratic-swept. Mr.. Bryan has counseled
patience and moderation, and the free
silver advocating press of the country
has done the same. deprecating all ap-
peals to passion, yet here is an admin
istration organ, a supposedly conserva-
tive paper, demanding war in the in
terest of the Republican party.
This is the boldest and baldest dema-
gogy the country has witnessed in
many long, long day. 1t will not sue
coed.
