Show ; TIIE SALT LAKE TIMES, THURSDAY JANUARY 15, 1891. tbe arrest may have trouble with the man, and out of anger may magnify it into a esse of disorderly conduct. The maunrr and bearing of the man in court may be some guide to tbe judge in gifting the statement of policeman and culprit. The $10 or ten days" sentence in this case may deprive a family of bread for ton days. This, taken in connection with the pr'soner's antecedents, should bo con-sidered. The ten-da- sentence is a suf-ficient and sometimes an extreme pun-ishment for some men and to others it is no punishment at all. All depends on the man and on his habits and sur-roundings. " POLICE COl'RT SENTENCES. Tat Divver of Now York, whose ap-pointment by Mayor Grant to the office of police judge created considerable scandal, has some ideas, based prob-ably upon his long experience in con tact with the lower classes, when he was in the saloon business, that have the merit of common sense. In an ar-ticle under his signature this Tammany brave says: "To every one who has mado himself familiar with the statistics of the crim-inal courts it must appear that harsh sentences, as a deterrent of crime, are a failure. I believe that under the se-vere punishments of some years ago, many men subjected to capital punish-ments for comparatively slight offences and who under a liizhter stntencw might have become reformed, have, out of sheer revenge, become confirmed criminals and enemies of society. Take tho familiar ttm-da- sentence for drunkenness and disorderly con-duct, real or alleged, as au example. For a chronic drunkard or "beat" it means ten (lavs during which he will gel enough to eat and be sheltered in cold weather. Jt makes a sort of inci-dent in his life which is to be looked for as coming round at certain times and seasons. A drunkard is not likely to be reformed by a ten days' imprison-ment. On the other hand, a policeman brings into the courtroom a man who has a character for Industry and sobri- - ety, who supports his family and pays his debts, but who has been found drunk, perhaps for the first time. He is ashamed of tho position he oc-cupies, and tho single night be has spent in the station house is a worse punishment to him than six months spent in the penitentiary by an old rounder who never works unless he is compelled to do so. Here is a case in which the police jus-tice requires to be a judge of human nature. In many such cases the night spent in the station house may be a sal-utary lesson, and the offender is suflic-ientl- y punished and may bo discharged with a caution that ho will bo more delt with if the case comes up again. In cases of drunkenness or disorderly conduct, the latter charge may be ail but mythical. The officer who makes , THE SALT LAKE TIMES. KtvTxOKK OFFICE, - 80-t- Tempi Court.

The status of tho silver question is not changed by the action of the sou ate in adopting Stewart's amendment by a majority of twelve. The strugglo for free coinage is still to como, and it will not be ended in a hurry. It certainly will not be ended during the present session of congress, partly because the majority leaders in the house of repre-sentatives, including the speaker and the chairman of tho coinage committee, being opposed to the measure, will de-lay action thereon if they can, and partly because the president, however anxious he may be for the passage of n moderate silver bill, is not willing to go to tho extent of signing a free coinage bill just at prescut, Wo wish it were otherwise, but unfortunately it isn't. Dealing therefore with facts rather than fancy we believe that, contrary to general expectation three months ago. silver and not the tariir will form the main issue of tho general election next year. This naturally will knock tho last prop from under Cleveland who is a gold bug pure and simple. Hill, on tho other hand, who is not committed on the question, or in fact on any question not purely partisan, may bo domagogiiu enough to train with the majority, not from priciplo but from policy. Tho republican party from which, as usual, the next president will be chosen will nioet tho issue fairly, Mr. Harri-son is not committed against free silver. Ho is simply opposed to "impulsive legislation' that is a sudden loap. Ho prefers to gain tho object by gradual approaches. Mr. Maine is said to favor silver, and there are other conspicuous leaders of the party, not only in the west, whose hoads are level on the money question. As there is no possibility of a free coinage bill passing this sossiou of con-gress, or indeed before the presidential election, we still believe the compro-mise bill voted down yesterday in the senate will be the basis of negotiation between the two branches of congress, and with some modification of the plat-form of 18112. At any rate it changes tho phase of politics, and as a result Mr. Cleveland for one is not in it. UNCLE WILLIAM'S PICTURE. t'ncle William, last July, Had hli picture took.

The Times acknowledges the receipt of a lurid ten-ce- brochure entitled "Tho Stricken Nation," showing on tbe cover tho statuo of Liberty in the har-bor of New York losing her strong right arm through the bombardment of a hostile Hoot, and the burning of the capitol in Washington in dotacbed sheets of lire. It is terrible, the picture is, and the description is a clover imita-tion of the battle of Dunkirk which ap-peared several years ao in England describing a German invasion of tho British isles and which created a de-cided commotion. Notwithstanding all this wo believe in the defence of our sea coast and tho great oities thereon that are now open to destruction. Not the least surprising thing in this surprising congress was the motion in the senate yesterday to take up once mom the election bill. Of the eight kickers none but the Idaho senators re-turned to thoir party allegianco making the voto a tie until .Mr. Morton cast the deciding yea. The vote is altogether too close tor comfort.

Why all this row about tho sale of a beggarly scnatorship from the beggarly State of Kansas? For years seat in our house of lords have been marketable quantities in Pennsylvania, in Ohio, in Michigan, in Colorado, in Nevada and in California. Kansas has sold the thing time and again. Ingalls bought it twice; Plumb is reported to have bought it once; Subsidy Pom bought it severai times, as did that fellow Cald-well, who was turned out of tbe senate for negotiating for the seat openly. Kansas is getting squeamish, anil John Brown's soul is not entirely consumed yet, either. Louisville Times. Mr. Ingalls is not exactly in position to be shocked by the Turuer-McGrat- h scandal. He will scarcely he disposed to make a show of virtuous indignation over a transaction which carries out his ideas of modern politics. A politician who has committed himself to tho doc-trine that it is legitimate to "buy Hes-sians" ought not to complain if his com-petitors take the same view of the mat-ter. Kansas City Star. The alleged candidacy of Smith M. Weed for the senate on the platform of 7." cents a ton duty on from ore leads the penny protection organ to exclaim hopefully that "the free traders will not control the next senate by a good deal." New York democrats willuot be represnted by an assistant republi- can by a good deal. Now York World. According to a Springfield dispatch in the administration oruan "Illinois r. publicans are doing a vast lot of think-ing these days." No doubt they are thinking that if thei,-- brothers in New Hampshire can steal a whole state gov. eminent and a senator they ought to be able to "get away" With a senatorship. New York World. The republicans of the Conneoticnt legislature have unanimously agreed to OrvilleH. Piatt as United States senator to succeed himself. Piatt is a poor man, whose heart is with tbe peo-ple, and his re. election will be credit-able to the Nutmeg State. He is a man whom the nation could ill afford to lose. Now York Press. Senator Toller, of Colorado, is stay-ing at Washington and not worrying'a bit over his as he has in his pocket a telegram signed by every re-publican member of the Colorado legis-lature, declaring a purpose to vote for bim. Mr. Teller is plainly the most popular republican in his state. Syracuse Herald. If the Illinois legislature has the hon-esty to interpret the popular will. Gen- - eral John M. Palmer will be the next United State senator from that state. Venality may corrupt the verdict so clearly expressed, but we have faith to believe that justice. Palmer und demo-cracy will score a success Troy Times. The complication of the Illinois legis-lature is peculiarly interesting. The democrats had just strength enough to control the organization of that body; but three farmers hold the balance of power, and how they will vote for United States senator is "one of those things," etc. Buffalo Commercial. That Mr. Ingalls yet commands tho respect of those who known him is shown by Stale Senator Henry Elliston's description of him as "an undersized violin with only two strings." "If Sen-ator Elliston meant to be disrespectful be would have described Mr. Iugnlls as a fiddle. Kansas City Times. It is not surprising to hear that a strong feeling is developing in Illinois in favor of Uncle Dick Oglesby for the senatorship. Jf any republican in the state can be elected as matters now stand, he is undoubtedly the man. St. Louis (ilobe-Democra- t. It is settled that William F. Vilas will succeed Mr. Spooner as senator from Wisconsin, Mr, Vilas is the man who has talked more and accomplish less for the democracy ol Wisconsin than any other human beiug. Minneapolis Trib-une. Astute as he is, John James Ingalls has overreached himself. Ho has tried his stnmpcdo on the Kans as alliance too soon. He will find that the alliance men have all their brain pans. St. Louis Republic. At least one mitigation to the repub-lican leaders for the funeral of the force hill is that it will permit Ingalls to iro back and resnme his ardurnus task of inducing a majority of the Kansas leg-islature to elect hiiu senator. Pitts-burg Dispatch. The stealing of two or three sentorial seats by the monopoly protectors makes it all the more important that New York should elect a democrat who is heartily in favor of tariff reform though tariff reduction. Now York Star. Philetus Sawyer has reduced his weight sixty-fiv- e pounds by a system of dieting, and will therefore slip out of tho sentorial chair two years hence very easily. Madison Democrat.

It must seem refreshing to the new-comers to notice the plea which Got-erno- r Toole makes in his message for tho preservation of the Montana min-eral land. It looks so beautiful on pa-per. But what has been the history of Governor Toole en the mineral land question? He was twice elected to con-gress by the Northern Pacific vote which Sam 1 lamer procured for him . Once when he was in congress, the peo-ple of Montana held a great mineral land convention in Helena. It was en-tirely and prominent mem-bers of both parties were present. That was just when the Northern Pa-cific plot to steal 2,000,000 acres of min-eral land had been uncovered and its existence established beyond a doubt. The convention telegraphed Joo Toole requesting that he do something in con-gress to call attention to tho stral and prevent itsconsuination. Our recollec-tion is that tho young statesman re-plied something to this effect: "The Northern Pacific cannot acquire title to those lands." That was all the conven-tion could get out of him aud he never introduced a bill er otherwise raised his hand to prevent the robbery which ho well knew was being systematically attempted as it is now. Ou the miner-al land question the people of Mon-tana are line the man in jail whose lawyer told him that they could not in-carcerate him on the chargo specitied. "No, they can't do it, but they have done it," was the reply. It is the same old story. THE CKUKL WAK la OVfclt. If it were not for the unprovoked murder of Sitting Bull by the Indian police, and for the blunder at Wound-ed Knee creek, the Sioux war just ended would pass into history as a lu-dicrous if expensive incident on a par with tho notorious experience of the French king who marched up tho hill and then marched down again. We tlo not believe tho Indians ever intended to fight until they found themselves hemmed in on all sides by troops whose purpose and presence they could not interpret in any other way than intend-ed for thoir extermination. The Indian is by nature suspicious, as he has a right to bo, and tho promises of the government emphasized as they were by a formula!) u display of anus, wero not calculated to reassure him. We believe that one such man as General Crook, who possessed the confidence of the savages, and understood their char-acter, would have availed more than all the martial array of one-thir- of our regular army. Nevertheless the Dakota war whoop is not without its compensating fea-tures. The events of the last few months have shown first tho folly of our traditional policy in treat ing wit h the tribes as with foreign nations; and second, the honest' administration of the Indian bureau under tho interior department which stood the most crucial test without damage. Not the least advantage of tbe cruel war which is now happily over is the agreement of the Indians to surrender their rifles to the government for sale. So long as the butlalo and other game roamed over the prairie there was some reason for allowing the red man to carry arms, but since the object was removed there is no sense in keeping up the pretext. If the proper steps are now taken to prevent tho Indians from securing new ordnance through barter or otherwise we shall probably have seen the last Indian uprising in the United States. r " . Adieu Rcsseguio; Avant Bancroft. Dempsky's name still begins with a I), but it isn't Dempsey. We congratulate General Milca on liis masterly inactivity in those latter days. The list of daily failures Is getting encouragingly smaller all through tbe country. Another sign of the times. Idaho Joornalnm. Idaho Avalanche. About the pettiest little piece of jeal-ous spite we ever saw exhibited by a newspaper is now marked up against the Boise Statesman. Its enterprising contemporary, which tho Statesman called "the guerrilla," sent a represen-tative to this oouuty who wrote up tho camp, anu tno Avalanche thereupon gave the Sun' ";hort complimentary notico, Aftff "a afterwards one of the AAJancty?-Cvo- ri visited Boise, and as an acknowledgment of courtesies ex-tended to him by the Sun publishers, he wrote a second complimentary notice of that paper. Shortly thereafter, by ac-cident, we missed the Statesman from our exchange table, and suspecting the cause from some knowledge we had of the character of the manager of the paper, we wrote him a civil inquiry as to the reason why we had been dropped. The reply came back that they had pre-sumed the Sun was our preference and had dropped us on that accouut. The reply was intended to be what Artemus Ward would have called "sarkastick." A Boise gentleman happened to be in our ollice when we read the note. His remark thereon was: "Well, that is about the measure of that Cobb." Since the termination of the ghost dance in Dakota the giddy whirl seems to have broken out in several state cap-- 1 ' itals. The one compensating feature of tho Fitzsimmons-Dempse- y light is that it was on the square," although Demp-sey was never in it. Power of Montana discovered in the last hour that Montana was bigger than Power, and he therefore voted for free eilver as Montana and not Tower wanted. The railway telegraphers of the C, M. & St. V. railroad are out on a strike because their wages were cut down 15 per cent. They received little enough before, but nothing whatever is still vorse. A areas Cla.m. Pittsburg Cmruertlal Ga ette. Cincinnati now claims that it is the peanut center of the country. What a claim for famel Ingalls has lost none of his pugnac-- ) ity even if he has lost his grip on the Kansas farmer, though we are not by any means certain of the latter. The senator's speech yesterday ought o sat-isfy the most rabid granger. It more than satisfies the country. It is astonishing how much farmers Alliance man can talk and say nothing. The message of the new governor of Kansas would fill ten columns of news-paper print, and yet when boiled down by the associated press it made less than a stickful and even that without 'jiterest. In Montana all hopes of a compro-mise were dispelled yesterday by the refusal of the democratic rump to con-sider the proposition of the republican house aiming at an amicable agreement. This might have been expected. With a democratic senate and flOYernor, the house will stand out for office and spoils until the crack of doom. I An Independent movement in the Ogden election is in the interest of the Teople's party. It certainly is calculat. , ed to weaken the Liberal Iparty. How any Liberal can countenance any such movement after the cj;perience of last November is difficult to comprehend and will be more difficult for the independents to explain. It is not Ogden alone that is concerned in the coming election but the Liberal party of Utah which has a right to ex-pect that the city which has first over-turned Mormon rule should maintain fts vantage. No surrender of govern-ment or principle! We deplore the strife in the Colorado house of representatlv es, and while the blood spilt there yesterday was not tbe direct result of the trouble, nor involved Buy member of the legislature, yet it is sorry spectacle to see troops and de-tectives massed in the capitol of a state for the protection of a deliberative body in this country. The feeling between the two factions in Colorado, known respectively as "the gang" and "the emashers," has been one of intense hostility for some time, until now it eeems to have passed into a personal stage. For the honor and reputation of our neighbor state we hope thai wiser counsel will prevail, and that the mur-der committed by a desperado in the confusion of a virulent wrangle may give the members pause to ponder over their conduct, which has aroused ; the lowest passions. |
