A CELEBRATED CASE,


The Engineering News Of April 18th,
reviews the calendar OF the celebrated
Garter case. illustrating the extraordin-
AIRY delays in the administration Of JUS
tlce IN certain instances. II appears
that a sworn statement was made on
the 3lst OF May, 1889, by W. r. Curtis,
an assistant engineer In the government
employ. charging Carter and others
with conspiracy 20 defraud the govern
ment. An investigation was held Car
ter was exonerated, and the engineer
died from disappointment and morti-
ncatlon at the fruitIess outcome Of his
endeavor TO protect his country.
IN August. 1897 Captain C. NJ Gil
lettc, who succeeded Capt Garter Ia
charge Of the Savannah district on July
Goth. reported to the chief OF engineers
his discovery OF irregularities in the
conduct Of the Savannah harbor work.
This led to another investigation an
unfavorable report and the appointment
Of O board Of inquiry 90 silt the matter.
Their recommendation that the officer
be tried By court martial was accepted.
And then followed o long chain Of legal
transactions. ending on April 9Th with
an argument before the Supreme court
for a writ Of error
In the case Of the others associated
with Garter IN the alleged fraudulent
acts. the federal grand jury at Sayan-
nah. Ca. on Dec. s. 1893, indicted 3. d.
Greene John +. Gaynor, Edward II.
Gayuor. VIM. T. Gaynor. NJ A. Connolly
and Oberlin NJ. Carter on the charge Of
conspirlng TO defraud the government,
the same charge on which Capt. Carter
was found guilty By court martial. The
parties. except Connolly surrendered
themselves In New York to U. s. Com
missioner Shields. and were released on
bail
The hearing was set for Dec 23rd, but
was then adjourned 10 enable one Of

commissioner on the 10th Of that month
decided that there was probable" cause
for holding the indicted persons.
on the Ord Of April, this year the fed
eral grand jury at savannah
called the attention Of Congress
to the delay In bringing the parties in
volyed to justice, and the following day
Judge Brown. 90 whom an appeal had
been made for the removal OF the in
dicted persons TO savannah rendered
decision refusing TO grant the war;
rant for their removal on the ground
that Commissioner Shields erred in his
rulings ia the proceedings conducted

In the view Of this record It appears
clear that the accused persons are TAX

caliucs. 20 produce a delay In the pro-
ceedings. with the object In view OF

THE MEETING or GOVERNORS

The meeting Of the governors Of a
number Of Western states IN this city,
which adjourned on Thursday after
noon. was O very profitable gathering
to the people Of the states that were
represented and to the arid region gem
orally. The conclusions arrived at We're,
In our opinion. ln the interest Of the
stockgrowers and the public at large.
The prevailing sentiment was opposed
to the proposition for the leasing Of the
arid public lands Of the United states.
such a procedure would undoubtedly
Inure 10 the benefit Of capitalists, syn
dlcates and corporations and TO the
detrlment OF the common people. Even
the cesslon Of those lands 20 the re-
spectlye States IN which they are sltu-
ated might possibly lead TO a similar
result. Il was therefore decided that
il would be better to leave those areas
open to public ranging as at present,
than TO turn them over TO aggregatlons
OF wealth Tor the control and enrich
ment Of a few individuals.
out OF two evils the governors would
choose the lesser They would prefer
the cesslon Of the arid lands 70 the re-
specuye States TO their leasing by the
government, Utah would be benefited
by this method OF settling the question,
because she would be protected by such
laws as would prevent the wrong that IS
dreaded as 10 other places.
The reclamation Of the dry places Of
the continent could be best accom-
pllshed, no doubt by the conservation
of waters by reservoirs ana other
means, 20 supply certain districts to
which the water could be made 70
reach. and the sale Of such lands at
reasonable prices, leaving the regions
20 which no moisture could be conduct
ed as public ranges, as at present
Il Is TO be hoped that the Senator and
Representative from Utah IN Congress
wiz use their influence in the direction
indicated by the resolutions adopted by
the governors at their meeting and
that an the Senators and Representa-
lives Of the Western states win Join
with them IN such efforts, Meanwhile,
every plan devised for the irrigation Of
arid lands, and the conservation OF
water so that It may not be allowed TO
run TO waste. which is proved 10 be
practical and economical. Will be en-
Outraged and supported by the legisla-
lures and by the public.

REFORMED CRIMINALS.

The reformed system Of penology IN
force IN the State OF Indiana, is said
10 work very satisfactorily and there
are now several hundred prisoners out
on parole. who are leading the lives Of
good citizens. That Is certainly a gain
10 the State and a demonstration Of
the advantages OF the new system
over the old. Of which it has often been
remarked that It makes criminals In
stead Of reforming those already on
the road to perdition.
Under the new system the convicted
criminal Is given an indeterminate sens
tence. Whenever IN the judgment Of
the proper authorities he Is deemed
worthy OF a life outside the prison. he
Is permitted to earn for himself a small
daily salary which is increased gradual
ly II ne does not know a trade he
Is taught one, and Is permitted TO earn
extra wages by working overtime.
AS soon as the prisoner IS freed on
parole. an agent Of the state has se-
cured employment for him. His en-
ployer alone knows his antecedents. He
Is now given suitable work but he
must report at stated intervals TO the
authorities. and his written reports
must be verified by the employer. When
the man has demonstrated his ability
10 lead a life within the boundaries Of
the law. he Is fully pardoued.
The problem Of how 10 deal with
criminals Is one Of increasing import
ance. The world deliberately refuses
the aid which an appeal TO the religious
nature OF man gives. The consequence Is
that crime is multiplying and that the
lnadequacy Of the old systems Of
treatment becomes apparent Humane
treatment is a sine qua non In the
successful dealings with criminals. The
opposite IS only to add to the sum
total of the brutality Of the world. But
then the regeneratng power from
above Is needed. without It there can
be no true reform. II penologists neg
Iect TO apply these principles, they viii
surely fail 10 attain their object.
