County Attorneyship.

Manti, Aug. 31.-The Republicans
will hold their primary on Saturday
night, when delegates to the state con-
vention, to be held at Salt Lake on

rumored that Mr.. w. D. Livingston,
the logical candidate for prosecuting
attorney on the Republican ticket, will
decline nomination on any straddling
ticket. He is said to be pronounced
for the ST. Louis platform, and, if nom
mated, will run as an administration
Republican.
Sanpete county may be set down
for Hon. B. H. Roberts for congress-
His candidacy is growing, and Manti
will be solid for him from all indica-
tons.
State Senator Rideout was in town
today, chatting with some of the
Manti politicians. That he is here in
his own behalf and feeling the politi-
cal pulse, may be set down as a fact

WHY TROOPS WERE NOT PAID.
Because Paymasters or Money Might
Bring Yellow Fever.

Washington, Sept. IA dispatch has
been received at the war department
from General Miles, asking why the
troops in Porto Rico have not been
paid. The explanation is given that the
paymasters with money for the troops
were at Santiago and ready to proceed
to Ponce, but General Miles objected to
these paymasters. saying they would
bring yellow fever infection with them,
or the money might be infected while
on board the ships. Other paymasters
have been since dispatched to Porto
Rico to pay the troops that remained
there.
Complaints have been made also by
certain regiments that they have re-
ceived no pay while at Santiago. 1t
is learned at the department in some
of these instances the requests were
made by the commanding officers of
the regiments to defer payment until
the troops returned to the United
States. Such requests were approved
by General Shafter, and accordingly
the paymasters omitted such regiments
while paying at Santiago.

who deserved a better fate and. at the

W. Ferris invented and constructed the
famous Ferris wheel which was a star

After this wheel was a recognized sue

might have thought IT out. That does
not change the fact. however, that the

that 1t was a conspicuous novelty; the

for an attraction as good as it.

they had urged in former years, that
the whole question be taken up and
dealt with in an intelligent way. to the
end that the legitimate demands of
business might be met without exposing
the timber operators to the ever recur-
ring risk of being hauled before the
department of the interior for trial or
of being advertised as grand larceny
thieves.
Not much could be accomplished in
congress in this matter last year At
first IT was thought that President
Mckinley would rescind the whole
business, but that did not result Many
Of the people in the interior department
were new to their duties-they were in
absolute ignorance of the merits of the
case. Finally an arrangement was
made for the suspension of the opera
ton of the Cleveland proclamation until
March l. 1898. Thereupon the whole
matter was dismissed, as far as con-
gress and the administration were con-
eerned. The information that comes
from the Standards bureau at Wash
be taken to get through congress
another term Of suspension of the
proclamation for the term of one year.
That is one way; 1t is not the best
way, but, if 1t prevails. it must answer
the purpose until the whole question
can be taken up and fairly dealt with
in relation TO the actual demands of the
communities directly involved and, as
well. in relation to the best and wisest
policy to be pursued in dealing with the
highly important question of forest
reserves.

The Law Part of 1t.

~ ESEARCH for cases that estaD-
IN fish precedents which the United
v States may follow, in case the
cause Of the Names destruction was not
within the ship, is bringing many his
torcal incidents TO public attention. A
widelyquoted decision is one that was
rendered by Chief Justice Marshall in
the matter of the schooner Exchange,
nearly eighty years ago. Not to recite
all the facts. this schooner was libeled
near Baltimore. The claim set up was
that the seizure was Illegal. that the
Exchange had been converted into a
vessel of war, that IL was sailing under
the French flag and was In command
of an officer having a commission from
the emperor of France.
Chief Justice Marshall held that the
Exchange being public armed ship, in
the service of a foreign sovereign. with
whom the government of the United
States is at peace. and having entered
an American port, open for her recep-
ton, on the terms on which ships of war
are generally permitted TO enter the
ports of friendly power, must be con-
sidered as having come into the Ameri-
can territory, under an implied promise
that, while necessarily within it, and
demeaning herself in a friendly man
ner. she should be exempt from the
jurisdiction of the country"
1t is found that the decision Of this
country's distinguished chief justice mas
been followed by many eminent authori-
ties. Applied to the case of the Maine
it means that Spain cannot be held re-
sponsible for whatever harm may have
come to the Maine by accident or by
the criminal conduct of persons not act
ing as the authorized agents of the
Spanish government. The pith of the
decision thus applied would be that the
Maine was lawfully in the harbor of
Havana. but not within the jurisdiction
of Spain, and that, not being within
Spains jurisdiction. she could not claim
spains protection. OF course. were it to
be found that the Spanish government.
had an agency in the act of destruction.
an entirely different question would be
presented.
Herein is the serious vexatian in the
Maine affair. The first thing II ascer-
tain is whether the cause of the disaste.
was without the ship. That is taking
more time. than the public anticipated
would be required. The American peo-
pie are paying themselves high compli-
ment for the patience they show. The
truth is the test of patience hasn't vet
begun. The real trouble and delay will
start when 1t is ascertained-if ever il is
aseertained-that the cause Of the ca
tastronhe was without the Maine. We
shall then enter the realm of law and
precedent. The developments will be OF
a nature to confuse good many people
and the delays Will be long.

that is illustrated in this detention of
the body of Ferris by the Pittsburg
undertaken. Long years ago, in Eng
land, the practice of holding the bodies
of the dead for debt was declared to be
a crime.
In several states in this country the
penal code provides for the punishment
of those who arrest or attempt to
detain the dead body of human being
New York and Massachusetts, are
among the states where humane law in
this matter is the rule. 1t seems
bitter fate that one whose name was
so recently linked with a unique work
that attracted worldwide attention
should be the hero of news item of
such melancholy import.
