quittal of Major Waller upon such
grounds, the court throws certain
responsibility upon General Smith.
1t follows that inasmuch as the
matter was thought Of sufficient i'm
portance to justify the arrest and
trial of major, it is of even more
serious Importance when the name
of general officer becomes in
volved, and it is imperative that the
propriety of General Smiths order be
established, if possible. Military
rank ought not and cannot license
murder, nor should difference in
rank cause any variation in the
treatment Of officers charged with
heinous crimes.
This trial has in no manner dis
proved the contention that the mill
tary machine has been converted into
an instrument Of torture; it merely
raises question as to who operated
the machine.
General Smith should be called
upon to explain the circumstances
and conditions which prompted him
to draw such an extreme order as the
court seems to have believed he is
sued to his subordinate. If he is able
to prove that the course adopted was
necessary and justifable, those who
hold dear the good name and reputa-
tion for generosity and humanity Of
the army, will rejoice to hear the
explanation of these seeming atroci-
ties if he has no such explanation to
offer, the position he holds will not
vindicate him in the eyes of those
who venerate the laws of Christian
ity, which he has outraged, neither
should the armor of his rank shield
him from prosecution by those whose
duty it is to uphold the military laws
which he is alleged to have
fagrantlv violated, in a struggle
which is sequel to "the war for
humanity.
At this particular time, when
England has not hesitated to convict
and punish her officers who have
been guilty of committing atrocities,
it is important that the United States
should be no less conscientious in
it's treatment of similar offenders, but
more important that, if General
Smith is innocent, the world be so
informed and a black stain be re-
moved from the otherwise clean
record of the American army. In
America, it is impossible to believe
countryman guilty Of the wanton
murder of half hundred human be-
ings, but abroad cloud of suspicion

LEASING THE PUBLIC RANGE.

The President and secretary of
the Interior are right in opposing
the proposition to lease the public
range to cattle and sheep growers.
There is no danger that any bill
authorizing leasing will pass con-
gress, but it is we'll to know that
such a powerful influence is op-
posed to Legislation of that kind.
The effect of a law authorizing
the leasing of the public range
would be to push the owners of
small hocks or herds to the wall
and turn practically all the range
over to comparatively small
number Of live stock barons who
are eager to get it into their pos
session. The small owners would
have no means Of protecting them.
selves against the entertainments
of the owners of large herds and
their armies of employees. The
large owners might not do any
overt act in violation of the law,
but by innumerable little en-.
croachments which the small cat
tie growers would not be able to
resent the barons would Ultimately
gain their point
There is no merit in the claim
that the amount which would be
paid for the use of the land would
provide a fund for the reclamation
of land susceptible OF irrigation.
1t would be a small amount at
best, and attempts to reclaim large
areas included within leases would
be strenuously resisted by the les.

The Martinique Catastrophe.

The terrible disaster at Mar
Unique ON last Thursday was fol-
lowed on Friday by an earthquake,
the shocks of which were plainly
felt in Saratoga at about 4 o'clock
p. m, There were two or three
distinct tremblings of the ground,
sufficiently plain to be noticed,
not more than 30 minutes apart.
1t was at first thought to be the
wind shaking the buildings until
it was noticed that there was not
enough wind to cause the houses
to tremble. Then the peculiar
tremble of the building caused
several people, who had felt shocks
before, to conclude that the dis
turbance was caused by an earth
quake.

1t is claimed that unless a leas.

and destroyed. That the result
would be deplorable, but it might
be better to accept 1t than to re-
sort to a remedy which would Just
as effectively drive out the small

er kind. 1t would be contrary to
the welfare of the country for
practically all the public land
to be placed under the control of
a few wealthy individuals or gil
gantic corporations engaged in
the livestock business.
The public lands should be left
open for settlers who would occu-

up Before Another Year.

In an interview with Hon. F. A.
Miller, who has charge of the con-
struction of the Laramie, Hahns
Peak e. Pacific road, The Sun was
favored with the following infor-
nation:
".As to our railroad | am hot in a
position to state at this time,
where it will reach beyond Cen
tennial and the mining districts in
the Medicine Bow range. We are
now preparing to push the road to
comgletion to Centennial. We
have almost enough ties cut and
the same are being gotten out and
distributed. The balance of the
ties are being cut and will be ready
by the time we are ready for them.
THE piling and bridge timbers
are now being placed on the
ground for the bridges, and the
same will be constructed at once.
A finishing gang under the direc-
ton of the contractor will start
this week to finish the road bed,
ready for the ties and rails, to the
point where we left off grading
last winter, being out some 20
miles from Laramie. When he
reaches this point, which will be
in about two or three weeks. the
entire force will be put to work
and the grade pushed into Cen
tennial, where a little town is now
building up, consisting of a res
taurant, two stores, two saloons
and Il lodging house. We will
soon have a lumber yard at Cen
tennial, and a printing office with
a weekly newspaper.
You can see We have not been
idle on this side of the range
and we soon hope to have trains
running across the Laramie
Plains. Before another year pas
ses, we hope to open up Gold Hill
and make it a permanent camp.
The work there has only been clos
ed down temporarily for business
reasons.
