Novel Experiment w;th . ..

In Seattle's fight against the spread
OF the bubonic plague by rats an inter
esting experiment was made recently,
says the New York Tribune A rodent
was dyed blue and turned loose to find
out just how long 1t could retain, its
liberty and how far 1t could travel
without falling into one of the myriad
OF public and private traps set for the
plague distributors. The particular rat
selected for the test was caught week
after being turned out mile from the
point where 1t was liberated. In one
week lately 2,026 rats were received
by the health department, Of which
l'o2e were paid for at the rate Of 10
cents each. The total number of rats
brought in since the plague campaign
etsrtsd p 1881.

An English correspondent writes:
'"The tram cars In Liverpool until
late years were owned by a private
company, whereas now they are own
cd by the corporation. In the time of
private ownership overcrowding was
unknown; now 1t is the rule. On In
quiring the reason OF the change I
was told that 1t was this: The regula-
tions as to numbers remain the same,
but they are never enforced. The po-
lice dare not enforce 1t because they
are servants Of the corporation; the
corporation will not enforce 1t because
its enforcement would mean reduc-
tion In the receipts, and the borough
bench 80 largely consists Of Justices
either members of the corporation or
under its influence that no conviction
II sought for by private person
would be obtained"

mcDt at Bingham. The idea of a depu
ty sheriff being engaged in the opera
ton of a criminal business is so alb
horrent 10 all right ideas that the mere
statement Of the fact ought to and must
bring the corresponding and proper
condemnation.
The rottenness of the sheriff. g office
was exposed to fair degree in the re-
cent election campaign. But here is
another blossom of that rottenness
which was not known at that time, nor
even expected, But the result shows
that almost anything is to be expected
in an administration where the law is
openly defied and where conspiracies
are entered into with criminals, and the
public money of rho county used for
the furtherance of those conspiracies.
Nothing moro disgraceful than the ad-
ministration of the sheriff's office by
Sheriff Emery has ever been disclosed
in Salt Lake. And very seldom in tho
history Of official maladministration
has the like been known anywhere in
the United States.

IN CRIMINAL BUSINESS.

Another point Of rottenness in the
sheriff's office OF this county was dis.
closed on Tuesday in the examination
Of Deputy Sheriff Forbes in the murder
trial of Steve Maerovitch. 1t appears
from this deputy's testimony that he is
half owner in saloon and gambling
house in Bingham, where he also serves
as deputy sheriff.
1t ought not to be necessary to point
out the disgraceful evil Of deputy
sheriff being engaged in the saloon and
gambling business. 1t can hardly be
claimed that Sheriff Emery did not
know Of this vicious ENHANCEMENT of
Deputy Forbes. and yet Sheriff Emery
was willing to keep that deputy with
the saloon and gambling house attach
