BIENNIAL SESSIONS AGA

D4EkN N1AA SESSlONS A3A1Ns
The legislature is about to pass upon the
biennial sessions amendment. No really
sound argument ever has been or can be
offered why the legislature should meet
annually. The question is, Do the real, live
interests of this State require session every
year? Many attempts have been made at
defense of annual sessions, but so far as We
are aware it has never been claimed that the
actual needs of the State demanded them.
It seems to be fact conceded that the laws
are changed much too often and that instead
of there being too little legislation there is q
good deal too much of IL. The argument
seems to be that the assembly should meet
for some other reason than that it's work is
wanted. That is to say legislature should
meet for some other purpose than Legislation.
It should assemble when no legislation is
wanted and when legislation will be posi-
tive evil ia itself. There seems to be q con-
fused idea that it should meet for the mere
sake of meeting, and that the spirit of
Democracy will suffer in some mysterious
way if two hundred men do not come
together once a year and represent US in
drawing their pay for work that is not want
ed. It has commonly been said that govern
ment is the best which governs the least
But the cry of those in favor of annual
sessions is that we must govern too much or
we are undone-thst is, toe much SO far as
the actual need of legislation itself is
concerned.
Government is just as much species of
business as factory ia. No one runs a fac
tory when there is no demand for its manu-
features, Why run legislature when no
laws are wanted? II Democracy is a we'll
ordered and proper system of government,
its safety cannot depend on doing work that
is not wanted. The real fact 10 that If the
legislature meets when no legislation is de-
mended, it does not represent the people.
In passing acts that render the laws confused
and uncertain it really misrepresents the
people, for the people certainly do not want
that. In over-legislatinR, as We pointed out
in former article, it represents the lobby
instead of the people. In too many in
stances the governors veto has been the only
representation that the people have had.
That is, the people have really been repre-
sented not by the legislature but by its de-
feat. The veto is really an anomaly in our
institutions. It is feature of despotic gov
ernment, a survival OF the one-man power.
1t certainly is not required when the -legisla-
ture does only that work which the people
demand. And yet We should be sadly of
without it, in these days of ever-leeislation.
There has been a steady growth all over
the country of opinion in faver of biennial
sessions. Thirty-two out Of thirty-eight
States have already adopted them. And the
matter is being agitated in the remaining
States. There has been a steady growth in
their favor in this State within the past two
years We believe that if the legislature
makes up its mind to present this amend
ment to the people it will be adopted by
large majority.

The new dynamite gun with which officers
of the government are experimenting is an
interesting weapon. 1t is a seamless brass
tube thirty feet or more in length. mounted
upon light gun-carliage, and manipulated
by tbs artillerist in the manner of an ordina-
ry cannon. Its noiseless discharge sends the
missile with great force, conveying the pow
erful explosive substance within it, which is
ignited at the instant of contact with the
deck of ship or other object upon which it
strikes. If the promises made in its behalf
prove true a single proiectile of this descrip-
ton with its hundred pounds of dynamite
would instantly sink the heaviest iron-clad
ahoat. The dart embodies some new and in
teresting adaptations of physics to the flight
of projsetiles by which great accuracy
ia obtained. The tendency of the
wind to cause a divergence of the
projectile from direct line is to a great de-
gree overcome; and the pressure of the wind,
whether light or heavy, is made to react in
proportion to its force upon the missile and
to direct its flight in the line of original
projection. This popularity consists in the
unusual length of the projectile, and the
location of its centre of gravity considerably
nearer the forward end-thus a wind blow
ing across its course will act upon the lighter
and enlarged rear end as on vane, causing
the projectile to pivot upon its centre of
gravity. and head into the wind in proportion
to the winds velocity, the missile maintain
ing approximately its original direction. It
is not dependent for its flight npon the
torsional force of rope or upon the action
of springs, such as were used in the catapult
of the Greeks and Romans, but upon the
force of air compressed by powerful engines
to the pressure of l, 200 pounds or more per
square inch. This is stored in large reser voirs,
from which a sufficient amount for a single
discharge is suddenly liberated into the gun
through a connecting pipe, by means of an
ar tomato valve, which may be regulated
to open and close in the tenth of second
admitting of discharges in quick sue
cession.

The United ireland, speaking of the de-
crease of the population OF Ireland, says: For
all practical purposes Ireland is suffering q
more awful drain of manhood than if engage
ed in deadly conflict with a first class Euro
pean power. She has lost since the Union
more men than France lost in all the sanguin-
sry wars of Napoleon. At least eight mil
lions of people have been inundated in
eighty years to the demon of English
Supremacy. Three millions of people
whose brawny frames supplied the
physical force of the repeal meetings were
missing in 1852 when the census enumera-
tors came to count them. Two million nine
hundred and thirteen thousand of the popu-
lation who were spared by famine have been
starved or transported since. The waste
goes on faster and more furiously. Within
the last year alone ireland lost 1eS, 600 emil
grants, II, 900 of whom were single adults.
She lost in mere thews and muscles more
valuable sons than were slain in any of the
greatest battles of the world.

Professor Mohn of Christisna, Norway,
having been employed by the government to
investigate the efficacy of the protection af-
forded to buildings by lightning rods, seems
to have substantially settled the much debat-
ed question, at least for that region of coun-
try. His report shows that lighthouses, tel
egraph stations, and other exposed buildings.
which were provided with conductors, did
not by far suffer as much as churches, which
in most cases were unprotected. It appears,
in fact, that of about 100 churches reported
to have been struck by lightning, only three
were provided with con Iuctors; that OF these
three the first had a conductor in good order,
and the building was uninjursd; the second
had q conductor of zinc wire, which melted,
AID, of course, left the structure without
protection; the third had wire which was
rusty where it joined the earth, and the
church was burned. More than one-half the
number of churches struck were totally
destroyed. Mr.. Presce, the English gov
ernment electrician, states that no damage
has occurred since telegraph poles were earth
wired.

said further that he did not know anything
of future state, but he believed that If
there was such state its rewards or punish
ments for acts in this life would be eternal.
Having expressed his belief in q supreme

the oath on the New Testament.
Rev. Robert Laird Collier calls attention
in the Chicago Tribune to the fact that poor
people are always seen in the churches of
Great Britain and on. the continent of Eu-
rope, but are not seen in American churches.
He gives two reasons why the poorer Glasses
do not attend church in this country as they
do in Europe. The first is that poor man
cannot pay for a pew in one of the city
churches, and the second that it is the custom
in America for the women who can afford it
to dress SO expensively for church that a,
pocr woman must, if she goes, put her pow
efty and social inferiority on exhibition.
There is good deal of truth in this. There
are many churches in all our cities, including
New Haven, which are not for the poor.

been little annoying for a while; but
when the people got accustomed to it,
as they did, that which was formerly a
bothersome racket became even musical
and something with which they would
not part if they could. This, we think,
puts the quietus upon another obiec-
ton, for no argument is stronger than
existing facts.
Then, the great point to be considered
is whether or not the protesting voices
and asserted inconvenience of few
people are to be permitted to form an
impediment to the march of progress
keeping time with the resistless strains
of enterprise. As well seek to roll back
the tides, reverse the course of the
rivers, or chill the glow of the sun.
Those who would have temporary
personal comfort by opposing legitimate
schemes of great moment and large
value, are standing in their own light
and sunconsciously seeking what will
actually result in discontinue and de-
feat. They may not be willing to be
convinced at present: but itwould be
much better for them to think twice be-
fore acting in the premises.
The construction of the Salt Lake
and Fort Douglas railway, with
its subsequent operation, would be the
means of providing permanent and pro-
fitable employment for scores of men at
present idle or engaged in less remuncr-
alive occupations. This alone is a
strong argument in favor of the project,
and is worthy of consideration not only
on Eighth South street but throughout
the city.

OUT, DAMNED SPOT.

The attempt of the Republican papers
and leaders to explain away the Multi
gan letters has had but one effect-to
show that while Blaine did not actually
put his hand into any ones pocket or
any public treasury and take money
therefrom, he is still culprit before the
country. 1t cannot be denied that,
while Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, he engaged in enterprises
such as his letters show were with re-
spect to him at least nefarious !;
nor can it be successfully COM
batted that his position with the cor
responding influence attaching thereto
was the foundation and first great cause
of the opportunities presented by those
who desired to make use OF him, and
that he yielded. Living in elegant style
such style as must have at least ex-
hausted his salary OF $4,000 year-he
became quite wealthy in short space
of time; he was not known to be en-
SNSSt III any SASdS VI DNSl-
ness pursuits, and the only conclusion
TO be adduced from the circum-
stances considered all together, is that
he made Of his Office the means of il
legitimately trading and trafficking in
such floating" or other commodities as
his personal magnetism" or his rare
opportunities attracted to him.
The statements of Mulligan and
Blaine do not agree. One or the other
is a liar and wretch; the public Will
decide where the odium should be
placed, and their verdict will be attested
by their ballots in November next. This
is not case in which mere contention
figures it is a matter involving deep and
lasting concern to everyone who casts or
is affected by the ballots which decide
the question OF who shall control the
governmental machinery for four years
commencing with the 4th of next
March.
If Blaine can wipe out the damned
spot on his reputation, he had better
proceed to do so at once; he would ac-
complish more than his henchmen and
apologists seem capable of.

ferred to that it Utah were State, min
ing interests would wither and die,
the laws would be so discriminating and
unfair that Gentiles could not live here,
and social affairs generally be dis
jointed. This is but one of the many
positions it has taken which neither

stances of the present nor the probable

tuition adopted by the late State conven-
ton was one of the most liberal,
wise and just ever placed be-
fore a people for their action; no
interests were assailed, but all were
treated with a due regard for the pc
culiar and special circumstances in
which each was, is or might be placed
an exemption from taxation of mines

aimed at, perhaps it is not farastray.
