FORTY. SIXTH CONGRESS.
REGULAR SESSION.
SENATE.

Washington, p. Morgan offered
a resolution which was adopted,
directing the secretary of the interior
to furnish the Senate any informs
ton in the interior department in
snsWer to the following inquiries !:
What grants of public lands made By
acts of Congress to railroad con-
panies, Or 10 states or territories in
aid OF such companies, remain in
complete by reason of the failure of
grantees or bene6cisries to comply
With the terms of such grants? In
such cases. if any, where there has
been partial compliance with the
terms or conditions of grants, TO what
extent has there been such com
pliance, and to what extent Is there
Just cause for declaring the for
feiture Of grants, and what reasons of
Justice, equity or public faith or pub
lie policy are there why Congress
should abstain from declaring such
grants forfeited in whole or in part?
In cases where states or companies to
which land grands have been made
for the benefit of railroads and where
lust cause OF forfeiture exists and
where bona tide conveyances have
been made to purchasers for value,
what proportion, as near as may be OF
the lands so granted has been sold to
such purchasers, and what further
legislation, if any. is necessary to
secure to such persons their full
equitable rights to such lands.
Adopted.
Teller offered a resolution, calling
on the secretary of the interior to In
form the Senate whether any member
of the board of Indian commissioners
had become interested in Indian con
tracts. Adopted.
On motion Of Cameron, of Peunsyl
vania, it was resolved, yeas 81, nays

to day, it will be to meet on Monday
The Bayard resolution was taken "
snd Coke made speech thereon.
Coke said this vas very difieren
question from the endorsement Of the
original issue of treasury notes
Whatever might be thought of The
policy OF issuing greenbacks they haC
been issued, pronounced Constit1-
tional and formed for many years th'
principal part of our currency. They
we're no more questionable than othel
results Of the war. Greenbacks were
part OF the public debt, guaranteed
by the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution. He claimed that this
was movement in the interest o
national banks, and said il the banks
can get this resolution passed theI
can double their Issues. This Is {
great stake they are playing for. HI
thought there was joint movement
of some corporations to entirely dc
monetize silver, SO we could have onl.
bank notes and gold.

1t IS said !hat an arrangement has
been entered into with OurAy and his
fellow Ute delegates whereby one
band of the Colorado Utes is TO be
removed to Grand River Valley,
whils the White River fellows, those
who murdered Agent Meeker and
ambushed Major Thornburgh, are to
be conveyed u the Uintah Agency,
this territory. The people of Summit
and WasRtch Counties have the right
to protest against this proposed quar-
tering OF d laTless band within firing
distance of the frontier settlements.
If government cannot prevent out
breaks snd massRcres by Indians in
Colorado, it certainly cannot do so in
this territory. The people OF Utah
have as good right to ask protection
as the Goloradsns, and they ought not
to submit TO the contemplated impc-
sition without fret at last making
their objections known.

Warrington,

Washington, 22.-Tho defcst OF
the bill in the House, to-day, proVid-
ing that one.hali of the national bank
reserves should be kept in coin, was
brought about by a singular combins-
ton OF hand and soft money men, tAe
latter opposing it mainly on the
ground that it would discriminate
against greenbscks. the former be
cause. in their opinion, it would im-
pair the permauency OF resumption.
On the other hand, the votes in favor
OF the bill were cast by an equally
curious medley OF representa-
tives who are usually opposed
to each other on all financial
questions, and the fact seems
to be that a large number of
members we're so uncertain as 10
what the bill really meant that they
voted against it on the high general
pril ciple of Prices resolution. which
declares, in regard to currency mat
ters, that Congress this year should
"let we'll enough alone"

EdIson,s French Critics

New York, PA special from
Paris gives the views of a number of
French electricians on the Edison
light. Wilfred De Fouyiells said the
onslaught of Count De Moncel on
Edison excited no attention whatever.
De Moncel is not a member of the
institute, and can't be, never having
made any scientific discovery or pub
lished any original work. He has
merely written q number OF reports
on electricity. De FGuveille saws
Edison's work will be appreciated in
future ages when the names of critics
have been long buried in oblivion.
Jean Bsptiste Dumas said his impress
sion on reading of Edison's discovery
was one OF iEoredulity, but he.
now sees no real impossibibility in
he thing. Crooks said ne did not
relieve the horseshoe OF Edison can
asst for any length of time. NJ.
Eontaine, president OF the Syndicate
Electricite, believes Edison has made
n important advance in electric |
ight.

QUERIES.

Before finally passing the bill for
changing the time of holling the
general election in this territory to
the Tuesday after the fret Moad " in
November, the Legislature ought to
understand what it is doing, and con-
slider well whether it wants to make
the proposed change. By congress
sional enactment the delegate to
Congress must be chosen on the Tueg-
day after the first Monday in Novem.
Der, and at such election United
States marshals and supervisors have
the right, under certain circum-
staaceF, to interfere. We already
know what that interference may
mean, if the marshal happens to
be rank partisan or O reckless.
incompetent person, the disgraceful
and bloody Tow of ak years ago
being fresh in the minds of the public.
The occasion might again arise when
some hot-headed, laundering and
over-oficious marshal would ATTEMPT
a repetition of that affair. Do the
people want all OF their elections
interfered with as that was? Would
it not be better to confne the much
disliked interposition to the delegate
election, at least until there is a
change in the political condition of
the territory? The chief reason fo=
desiring the proposed change is to
avoid the expense of one election; but
is the cost of greater moment to the
people than the fact of having quiet,
peaceful elections for local officers?
It is possible that He may always |
have mRrshsls WHO know how to be- |
have, and who have some regard for
and appreciation of the peoples
rights; but the risk had better not be
run. The good men in federal Offices
In the territory have been the excep,
ton and rot the rule, and we see no |
reason to expect very grea. change
n the manner Of making these ap-
,ointmente. The people can pay the
,ost OF the extra election, but they
annot afford to have their ballot
oxes run the risk of falling into the
snds OF some irresponsible fellow,

ind, happen to get into the United a

He Knows logan.

Washington, 22.-During debate
IN the House on the bank reserves
bill, Weaver made q sharp speech,
with some cutting remarks respect
ing Logan, who recently, in the
Senate, alluded lightly to Viewers
bill to psy soldiers the difference
between gold and greenbacks at the
time of the war. He said it was to
be expected that the man who hsd
voted for the back salary grab and
put 1900 in his pocket, would be
opposed to doing justice to the
soldiers. Whitthorn, Pswley, Keller
and others also spoke on the subject.

EoME PBRsoNs express fear that tie
Senate will net confirm the nomina.
ton Of Gen. Murray to be governor of
this territory, and say the delay is
ominous. So fsr there shouIi be no
cause for alarm or even anxiety in
the matter, as it is not often that
nominations are confirmed the same
week in which they ara sent to the
Senate. The confirmation sometimes
is very prompt, when it is regarded as
a compliment ID the nominee. Chief
Justice Hunter snoniration was con-
frmed on the day it was made. and
we believe without the usual reference
to committee; but tina! was an ex
ceptional instance and was due to the
personal friendship ior the Caief JUS
tice Of Judge Thurman and other lead
ing senators. whose recommendation
was sufficient to satisfy the Senate as to
the fitness of the appointment. Our
late secretary, Mr.. Lucksy, was
nominated on January 9Th, but was
not confirmed until the 18th
Of February. Two weeks PASSED
between the nomination and
confirmation of the late receiver OF
the land Office, Hon. Barbour Lewis,
and yet Judge Lewis had been a
member OF Congress. There was just
q week between the nomination and
confirmation of Secretary Thomas.
Should General Murray's nomination
be unconfrmed ten days hence, it
may be considered that the Senate
would prefer another man for The
governorship Of Utah, Though, even
then, the approval of the appoint
ment would not be improbable.
