Fort Duchesne, Utah, Aug. 10
The forest reservation. set apart
from the Uintah reservation, is over
run by mining prospectors, who con
slider it is being no longer a part of
the reservation, but a distinct body
of land.
Only those who have registered
are permitted to examine the agri-
cultural lands, but on the forest re-
serve are all sorts of people and
there is apparently no hindrance
The Indians are giving no trouble
whatever, nor will they.
Even those acquainted with the
reservation are at a loss to find the
lands subject to entry, for no maps
have vet been distributed showing
the Indian allotments, the lands on
the forest reservation and the In
dian ranges.
When the drawing begins. there
will be no lack of prospectors who
know and others who pretend to
know, to show the homeseekers the
ideal place to settle, but there should
be ample time spent in reflection and
cool calculations before making a
choice here.

essary institution, but it has, in a gen
eral way long since out-lived what
ever usefulness it may at one time
have possessed.
The grand jury, as in fact the jury
system. probably had its origin in
the advent in England Of William the
Conoueror and his Norman army,
when the King was in need of def
mite and accurate information regard
ing the condition of the New King
dom which he had settled down to
rule. One of the methods employed
for securing this information was to-
require twelve men of each neighbor-
hood to give the facts under oath
This method was continued under
other kings, and from it there grew
ur in the courts the practice of decid'
ing disputes by the same agency.
From the original body which inyes-
tigated and reported facts and condi-
tions, and the other body which de-
cided disputes, there was evolved the
grand jury and the petit jury-insti-
buttons which for over 900 years have
formed a part of the great Anglo
Saxon system of jurisprudence.
But, while the petit jury will prob
ably always remain a pa;t of our sys-
TEN for the administration of JUS
tice, the grand jury has practically
outlived it's original purpose. Where
it was originally intended to make in
yestigations and gather information,
we now have public examiners, sher-
ifs. constables, county solicitors, and
states attorneys, and if these officers
Go their duty there can be no work
for grand jury to perform.
In discussing the same subject the
Jacksonville Metropolis, in reference
to the action of Minnesota, says:
We wish it were abolished in other
states. as it has been demonstrated
that there are better, more speedy and
satisfactory methods of disposing OF
crime. The criminal courts OF Flor
ida are proof of this. The county Sc
| licitor is the grand jury as we'll as
! the prosecutor. He flies the charges
and the cases are tried. and that ends
ii, and why could this not be done il
the circuit and United States courts,
| too?
1t could be done, and is done in
same states. AS we said above il the
officers do their duty, as they take
oath that they VIII do. there is abso-
, lutely no work that grand jury can
perform. and if there is now any posi-
/ BILE reason for its continued existence
: it can be for no other purpose t1sn t.

The announcement that several hun
dred bales of cotton have been burn
ed in Georgia in consequence of the
decline in price as the result Of the
increased estimate, and that it IS con-
templated to burn throughout the
South about two million bales, indi-
Gates, if true. very foolish policy on
the part of the planters. In the first
place. If there has been raised a crop
so much in excess Of the worlds de-
mands as TO warrant such decline. Il
would be but in accord with tie Law
of supply and demand which fixes the
value of every commercial article. and
with which it is dangerous to trifie.
Instances have happened in the great
corn producing West where, from
overproduction. the price Of corn be-
came so low that It was sometimes
used for fuel, but the idea of its wan
ton destruction for the purpose Of
causing a rise in the market has never
been suggested Though a more per-
ishable commodity than cotton, the
more rational course was pursued OF
storing it for the following season and
raising a smaller crop. With cotton
this is even more possible, and by
adopting that plan and utilizing the
land reserved from cot ton culture for
the production of other crops for
which the Southern soil and climate
are adapted the end desired could be
as easily reached without the sense
less waste which burning entails.
While the proposed plan, which had
some advocates in the recent Shreve-
port Cotton Convention. is opposed 70
sound principles of political economy.
and in many ways inadequate TO the
desired ends. il Is Objectionable on
other practical grounds. In the first
place. from the large number Of per
ons engaged in raising cotton and the
cificulty of securing cooperation
there is no way in which there could
be arranged cooperative system OF
burning by which the loss Of the prod.
net DESTROYED would fall equally upon
the producers who now have cotton
rnsOld. Some enthusiasts or misguid
ed men might submit to the burning
| of their cotton. but in all such propO
sitions the large majority would hold
their surplus for the expected rise
