WASHINGTON ITEMS.
Fees Of U. s. Attorneys-Desert Land Entri


Corr. Salt Lake Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The bill proyId.
ing that District Attorneys of the United
States shall have regular salary In place Of
the salaries. fees. etc., now allowed, specifies
different rates for the different States and
Territories. For the district Of Utah the
amount 10 fixed ct $4,000 per year, and one
assistant 10 allowed an annual salary Of ST..
200. The District AltorHey for Wyoming is
listed L $1,000, for Oregon Ut S. 900, for
New Mexico 1t "a 900, for Nevada and Mon
tana 5000 each, and for Idaho 1t the same
amount. The fees formerly secured by these
officials are 10 be turned Into the u. s.
Treasury, when they ale to constitute part
OF their semi annual eIvolvement return.
Extra compensation will only be allowed by
the Attorney General for special services es.
pecially directed by him. The attorneys,
however, are still TO receive their mileage
payment.
The necessity for extending The time now

STANDARD VS.. SOLAR TIME.

The adoption Of standard time-that Is.
designating certain meridians the solar time
OF which shall be accepted As arbitrary until
tho next meridian one hour westward Is
reached-is doubtless q very convenient
method for the railroad companies where
lines run east and west, simplifying the
time schedules, and by uniformity lessenng
danger and conveniencing the public. But
10 Ii question whether 1t Is wise for COM
munities to adopt 1t. In great many places
It has been done; In some, after short trial,
IL has been abandoned, aud mean solar time
restored. We believe the latter the better
course; In fact, we do not see how, unless
by act Of Congress establishing the standard
time, legal complications can be avoided by
the new departure. For instance, In the
service Of papers that cannot be served on
Sunday, II IN officer should serve them In
Deer Lodge ct 1905 Monday morning, stand.
ard time, It would still lack 20 minutes SO
seconds Of IL by the true time. Again, all
astronomical calculations will doubtless con-
tinue to be made by true time, and 1t would
require complex calculations In many iu-
stances to adjust the differences. Beside,
the standard time Is not true time, except on
the meridlans from which II Is established,
and there does not appear any sufficient rea-
SOU for discarding the fact and accepting the
fiction. We believe the better course Is to
adhere 10 mean solar time; and the fact, at
Deer Lodge, for instance, that the Northern
Pacific time ID approximately one.haf hour
faster, can be readily learned and easily re-
membered. We are not advised which time
will be adopted In the new schedule for the
Utah q Northern, but II the standard, the
same rule win apply to II. Our time.pieces
here can be kept adjusted 81 minutes SO sec.
onds slower than the standard railroad time,
and thus We will have correct time. The
sun rises and sets for our convenience Just
- much - Il does for Glendivs, BEAVER OF
Durango, and We might ~ well take advan-
tage OF the fact. What do other mountain
towns think OF IL?

20, rHE POOR CoNvIcT,

irregularities have been dis
covered in the treatment of the
convicts at work in Laurens Coun-
ty, The inhuman treatment Of the
eonviets laboring in the phosphate
works, called forth the apology
that their health was ruined by
sthe peculiar kind of work in which
they had been engaged Later
developments show, however, that
the -eonvicts suffer most from the
peculiar kind Of treatment towhich
they are subjected. If the State is
disposed to ignore the article Of the
Constitution which provides that
cruel and unusual punishment shall
not be inflicted. it might at least
extend to the convicts the benefits
of the law prohibiting cruelty to
animals. The subject has become
very troublesome one; but it
seems to us that the remedy is very
simple. The directors of the Peni-
tentiary may pretend that they are
smitten with deep sorrow, and that
their feelings of humanity are out
ragged; but who will believe it,
when they take no steps to punish
the offenders Let the convicts be
kept at the Penitentiary under the
immediate care of the officers of
that institution; or let the contrac-
tors to whom they are leased under
stand that the convicts must be
humanely treated.

talent to the establishment Of good
government in this State in '76, is
fresh in the recollection of MS all.
Gen. Conner was more than lawyer
and patriot. He was a manly man
loyal and. true; he had frmness
of courage and a soundness of judg-
ment, a fidelity in friendship, that
commanded the respect and the
confidence of every one. His in
fuence was always exercised in the
interest Of high and patriotic ends.
But, gentlemen, what is upper
most in the breasts Of all Of us now
is q sense Of personal loss. He
was your daily associate and friend.
He was my friend also for more
than thirty years. I, like you, feel
sense of personal bereavement.
I mourn with you for his death.
The motion is granted. Let this
Court stand adjourned as mark of
respect to the memory of James
Conner until 10 o'clock on Friday
morning.

AT LAST.

4
The Railroad Commission has
completed and published the stand
ard schedule of freight and pas
senger rates, together with the rules
and regulations, required by law.
The important interests involved,
the aim to do thorough work, and
the desire to be fair to the public as
well as just to the railroads, led the
Commission to act slowly and deli
berately, in spite of the impatience
that was manifested on all sides.
This schedule is the outcome of the
diligent labor and painstaking of
six months. 1t is not intended to
be fnality; complaints will be
heard, and reasonable changes
made.
The passenger tariff has been re-
duced to three cents a mile for per-
sons twelve years old and over, and
one and one half for those between
the ages of five and twelve. This
reduction will prove of advantage
to the travelling public, and cannot
seriously affect the roads. These
are the summer excursion rates OF
our railroads, and the practice of
the roads themselves leads US to
think that the increase in travel
will almost, if not altogether, sup
ply the decrease in the passenger
tariff.
The average freight rates adopted
by the Commission are much lower
than those now in force on the roads
in this State, and we may fairly
presume that the railroad corpora
tons will not cheerfully submit to
the reductions. We feel safe in
saying that, if they can stand 1t,
the public can. These corporations
threw the weight of their influence
against the creation of the Com
mission; and it is we'll known that
they regard the law as unconstitu-
tional. This is another reason why
the tariff adopted by the Commits
sion cannot yet be regarded as
final. for there is little doubt that
the constitutionality Of the law will
be submitted to the test OF the
Supreme Court.
