- Defective Law Making.

P ~or. wnyIand's Address before the Social
 scIence AssocIation-A Remedy Pro-
 posed.
 Prof Francis Wayland of this city, the president of the American Social Science as- sociation, which began it's annual meeting at Saratoga yesterday, spoke in his ''opening address" before the association 'On Certain Defects in our Methods of Making Laws" He first called attention to some of the nasty this country, and then glanced at the meth- ods of legislation in vogue in some other civ ilized nations paying especial attention to the Parliamentary Council, whose business it is to prepare bills for Ministers. Concerning what can be done in this country to check the flood of useless For worse than useless legislation he said
 Of late years in some States, 8 custom has prevailed which has proved of great utility. Commissioners appointed by the executive. (under Legislative resolution), generally with excellent judgment and without reference to politics, have been empowered to investigate special subjects on which general laws have been desired, to report the result of their de- Alterations, and, if they deemed legislative action advisable, to draft, in form, & statut @ to be enacted. believe it has ordinarily been found that when the report of 8 conlpe- tent commission has recommended the pas- sage of an accompanying act, it has rarely failed to receive the support of majority of the Legislature. The only objection to this method is that it takes into account only a very small proportion of the matters which, from time to time, legitimately call for the consideration of our State Legislatures.

The special election to be held in Texas to- day is to decide upon certain proposed amendments to the Constitution of the State and also to obtain the decisi on of the people respecting the site for the State University, the separation of the medical college from the university and the location of the medi- cal college. One of the proposed amend ments to the Constitution of the State looks to considerable enlargement of the supreme and appellate judiciary and to the improve ment of its working organization and also to better definition of the jurisdiction and the functions of the district court as the unit of the States judicial system. The oth- CT proposed amendment is to authorize the Legislature to sit in regular session for a hundred days, and to receive the full per diem of $5 for the whole period. The Con stitution as it now stands allows a per diem of $5 for GO days only, and discourages long sessions by cutting down the per diem to $2 for any extension of the session beyond that limit.

Martin Bacsi is probably the oldest subject within the boundaries of the Austrian Empe- TOTS dominions, for he is either 120 or 13O, He lives near Trentschin, in Hungary, and is still strong and well. The church of the place recently celebrated the hundreth ami versary of it's conservation, and the minister, in his sermon, remarked that no one who was present at the conservation was present at the anniversary celebration, and that no one present at the celebration would be there when another century had made second eel ebration appropriate. Old Martin Bacsi heard all this in silence, but at the dinner in the minister's house after service he astonished many who were at the table by telling them he had worked on the building when he was young man and been present at the consecra- tion of it. There were persons in the house past GO and even 70 years, who admitted that when they were children they knew Martin as a very old man. He appears to have been for many years a dependent on charity; but in bis present old age he chops wood, carries water and looks after the domestic animals for the Jewish master with whom he lives. He is said to have been offered an indepen- dent income, but to have steadily refused it, as he preferred the life he led with the Jew. Such is the story.

swindle of more than ordinary audacity was recently committed in Japanese town. Five or six men wearing clothes very much like those used by officials above the 6O7ain rank, accompanied by a few satellites and coolies, arrived at hotel and ordered large wooden signboard with the inscription ''Messrs. So -and-So officials of the Imperial Household Department" to be hung over the entrance. From the first the local police sus- pected and watched their movements, but as they communicated at the police station the nature of their visit, together with their names and such things as are required by the law, the police could not examine them. In the meantime they went to the houses of wealthy merchants and far mers, and stated that they were the officers managing the erection of a new palace, and had come to the locality to persuade the people to con- tribute toward the necessary funds. The peo- pie were patriotic, and a large fortune was quickly collected It is needless to add that no new palace has been built, nor have the police as yet been successful in their search for the rascals who thus wore the garb of law as an aid in violating law.

THE PEOPLE of Utah have ever
been noted for their earnest efforts to
suppress prostitution, yet the federal
judges have almost Invariably met
and opposed those Efforts. The peo-
pie OF Utah have labored earnestly in
the cause OF temperance, first trying
to prohibit the sale of intoxicating
liquors, and when that could not be
done, endeayoring to put a check
upon the traffic, prescribing the mar
rowest limits possible to the evil; but
the rum-sellers have seldom failed to
find encouragement snd support in
the federal judiciary. The city
authorities undertake TO pu! check
upon billiard playing, not with the
desire 20 deprive people of that amus5-
ment, but with the hope OF restrain
ing young men and boys who are
contracting bad habits through visit
ing billiard saloons; but the authori-
ties are met by a judicial decision
that says billiards must not be inter
Tered with. Why is this as it is =? Do
the federal judges want it understood
that they are on the side of immor-
atty and intempersnce E? Their rul-
iugs would indicate IS much. They
claim that their decisions run with
the law. II this be true the Utah
lawmakers have been inexcussbly
ignorant OF the English language and
grossly incompetent as Legislators;
and the legal gentlemen who have
assisted the members of the assembly
in framing bills must have been ex-
perts in saying the opposite to what
they meant. It is certain that toe
Legislators intended to frame Ia &s
against prostitution, in favor of tem-
persuce and opposed to immortality. !
II they have failed to do so through a |
lack of knowledge Of the meaning OF
words, then ara We truly in need Of
more and better schools for the edu-
cation Of future law makers and the
lawyers snd judges whom they call to
their assistance in framing statutes

Ten Thousand French Rail-
road Workers.

Denver. 12.-The Republican pub
fishes a statement as coming from
the Denver and Rio Grande officials,
that that company intend importing
10000 Frenchmen and corps OF
French engineers, at an early day,
to work ON the Denver and Rio
Grande extension. 1t says Count
De Langrand, who has been in
charge of the Mexican national sur
vey and construction, viii go to
France, organize a corps Of engi-
neers and educate them in American
railroad work and manner of opera
ton. When this work is finished,
the corps will be dispatched to diff
ferent parts of the country, each to
secure a squad of labOrers and
instruct them as to fu-
ture work. When 10000 are
secured, the squads will concentrate
in Paris and be transported to New
York and over land without delay.
The informant believed the majority
of them viii be distributed equally
on the Mexican and Salt Lake
divisions. Langrand has been
ordered to report here for instruc-
tions, and IS expected to arrive in
about two weeks and start at once
for Paris.

TEMPERANCE TALK.

Many of the stste Legislatures have
been wrestling with the liquor ques-
ten the past winter, all in the inter
est of temperance, but many of them
very fcolishly so. Two prominent
characteristics crop cut when a rural
member undertakes to legislste in re.
lstion 70 rum. One Of these is the
idea that the use of intoxicants can
BE- prohibited by legislation, and the
other is that the rum-seller has no
rights that the community need re-
spect. These two ideas are RESPONSE
bic for the large crop of uuwise legis-
lation that ID attempted by the assem-
blies, and so long as they predominant

teachings and human law against in
temperance. There is perhaps no
country in the world where more has
been done towards putting stop to
drunkenness than in some OF our
New England states; ye; it is an in
disputable fact that if the strietest
prohibitaTy laws did not really in

mankind bas been regenerated, ard
men have become much better ard
