THE LEGISLATURE.

1t is only short time until the Terri
torial Legislature meets. In most States
and Territories the meeting OF the Legis-
lature is an event; in Utah it is not. In
other places people have some idea of the
work that will be performed in the Legis-
lature, and whether or not certain meas
ures will be enacted, but in Utah
such is not the case. The legislators of
Utah do not know what they will do
when the body'to which they belong con-
venes until after it has met and they be-
gin to cast around and ask OF each other
what is to be done. The legislators OF
Utah are elected without any effort on
their part, and such being the case.
they never discuss before their con.
stituents the questions which NAV
be uppermost in the minds of all.
But this is not the worst. When they
meet they never address themselves TO
those matters which keep our Territory
in continual turmoil They absolutely
boycott the most important questions in
otah, the questions over which the whole
nation is more or less agitated. They re-
fuse to condemn or to praise the practices
OF their constituents which are in viola
ton OF the laws of Congress. This in any
other place than Utah would be most
curious and anomalous thing, but here
any other course would be looked upon
as seven days wonder. At the present
time all Utah is discussing the new Ed
munds bill, and this bill is to come up in
the Senate Immediately after the holi-
days, the time when the Legislature will
meet, but it is absolutely safe to say that
the Legislature will never once consider
any one of the matters mentioned in that
bill. The Legislature have il in their

LENGTH OF PRESIDENTIAL MES.
SAGES.
Saws the Chicago Tribune.

Says the Chicago Tribune.
There is no reason why the message should
be an annual review of events. No require
ments of the Constitution or of common
sense need make IL long or exhaustive. The
President has more than one chance every
year to make himself heard. He may send
in TO Congress rs many messages as he de-
sires, and no one in law is more special
than the other.
Neither is there any requirement in the
Constitution that the Presidents Message
shall be terse. The American people
have become accustomed to lengthy mes
sages and they look to these messages as
sort Of blue book, and for this reason
they uncomplainingly tolerate their
great length. 1t is desirable to know
what the views Of the President are upon
any question, and these views are very
properly expressed in messages. The
Presidents message is the very antipodes
OF the Queens speech. In the United
States the President introduces no meas
ures, but has power OF veto over them
In England the Government introduces
all bills. while to the House and Lords
belongs the veto power. The field of pos
tive legislative action is always more con-
fined than the field Of negation. Those
who have charge OF introducing bills and
carrying them through are more reticent
as to their intentions than those who
merely approve Or disapprove them. The
complaint in England is that the Queens
speech is too short and indefinite, while
the complaint in this country is that the
Presidents messages are too long. Presi-
dental messages could be made much
shorter than they are and the recon-
mendations more specific and to the point
than they are, and this would give to the
messages greater strength no doubt, but
SO long as the people look upon Presiden-
tial messages in the light they do there is
no likelihood of their being shortened.

WILLIAM II. DICKSON.

United States Prosecuting Attorney
Dickson has resigned. Mr.. Dickson has
been an honest, energetic and efficient
officer, and very greatly the superior of
his predecessors in office. He has vindi-
Gated the law in Utah as it was never
vindicated before, and to him, perhaps,
more than to all others, is owing the
check that has been put upon polygamy.
Polygamy and unlawful cohabitation have
not been suppressed in Utah, and will not
be for long time to come, no matter
what measures may be adopted for
their extirpation. The first great
thing to do was to check its spread !,
and this was done to q very con-
siderable extent by Mr.. Dickson.
In the work which he thus accomplished
there must be associated with his name
that OF his worthy assistant, Mr.. Varian,
and that of Judge Zane. In some of the
cases which Mr.. Dickson prosecuted he
at times became somewhat more ardent
than could have been wished, but when
all things are considered, especially the
intense partisan feeling which exists in
Utah, feeling that at times approaches
malignant hatred, perhaps this ardor was
but natural, and that it was not greater
than it was is to the credit OF Mr.. Dick
son. He was cordially disliked by the
great majority of the people OF Utah, but
this dislike came from the fact that he
was earnestly and successfully assaultng
their illegal practices. The people of
Utah will never hold Mr.. Dickson in con-
tempt as they do, and rightly, the major
lty OF his predecessors. We hope his
successor will in all respects be his equal,
yet We cannot but think that it will be
long before We see his like again in Utah.

years he has paid great attention TO hy-
drophobia, but at the time his son-in-law
wrote his life, which has been translated
into English by Lady Claude Hamilton,
under the supervision Of Prof. Tyndall who
undertook the supervision at the request
Of Pasteur, he had not succeeded in cul-
tivating the microbe OF hydrophobia.
His announcement that he can
cure hydrophobia makes il GER
that he has succeeded in cultivat-
ing this microbe, and such being
the case, he naturally feels the same con-
fidence that he did in regard to curing
splenic fever. II he can cure hydropho-
bia, then he will have caused great ter
ror to mankind to vanish.
Pasteur is now in his sixty-fourth year,
but his health is not particularly good,
he having received stroke of paralysis

A CURIOUS PETITION.

Utah is not slow at getting up petit
tons, but Utah alone cannot claim to be
the originator of curious petitions. On
last Wednesday Senator Ingalls, presented
to the Senate the petition OF s. d. j.
Moore, Of Jefferson county, Alabama,
praying for such legislation rs will remove
the causes of taxation in this country
and prevent poverty. To petition for
such legislation proves that Mr.. Moore
has noble heart but that the turn of his
mind is not eminently practical. 1t is a
trite saying that no man can escape death
and taxes, but it may be added that taxes
often induce death. There was once q
means OF avoiding the causes of taxation
and of preventing poverty, but this means
no longer exists. The time when
this means existed and was avail
able was before Adam sinned. Just
why Adam sinned has never been fully
and satisfactorily explained. But the
great fact remains that he did sin, and
among the most direful consequences of
Adams SHINING are taxation and poverty.
1t is said that repentance, baptism and
justification by faith will rid man of his
sins, but certain it is that these will never
relieve him from taxes, while as to pov-
ertv that is dependent upon other condi-
tions. 1t is believed by keen observers
and students OF humanity, that if men
were given choice between a kingdom
in heaven, accompanied by guaranty
against sin, and an exemption from taxa
tion and poverty in this world, the ma
jority would choose the exemption from
taxation and poverty. 1t is scarcely
probable that Congress will see its way
to the enactment OF the legislation prayed
for by the Alabama petitioner, although we
feel confident that the Utah Witenagemote
could, by recommending that it be done,
reserving the right of confirmation and
approval to the Utah Commission.

is 1T A QUESTION OF SALT!
An Apprehension in Butte That
Miners Wages nre Involved
i'm the Matter.

There is no denying the fact, says the
Butte Inter-Mountain, that there is in
this community feeling OF fear and un.
certainty as to what action the mill
owners will take upon the LIST of January
next. The mill men themselves are
| reticent.
The position OF affairs between the rail
road and the mill-owners now seems to be
this: The latter ask a rate of 1880 per
ton on salt delivered at the Butte depot,
inclusive of first cost of the salt The rail
road offered rate of $l5. Thus there is
but $3.50 difference between them,
and the mill men again reduced
this by offering to compromise at $l4.25.
The chief trouble now however is that
the railroad company in offering Sl5 90
also tacks on other conditions, one being
that the mill men shall carry 80 days' sup
ply ahead, and another that they shall
agree to ship all their bullion through the
Union Pacific express. The former con-
dition the mill men are willing to accede
to, but the latter they will not accept, as
It would shut them off from all competi-
ton in the matter of express charges.
Thus the matter stands, and in the mean
time the uncertainty is working n serious
injury to the business interests OF the
camp.
II the railroad company intends TO
make fair concession to the demands of
the mill men, it ought to say so at once,
and not attempt TO extort unreasonable
conditions. Ii the mill men intend to
accept the offers OF the railroad company,
the quicker they let their intentions be.
come known the better it will be for the
interests of this community.
The closing of the mills at this season
OF the year, would work great hardship
to thousands OF people who are depend
ant upon them for support.
We hear it limited that il is not the salt
question upon which the mill owners are
debating, but the question OF wages.
That If the mills are closed, it will be TO
secure lower standard OF wages as a
condition to starting them up again.
This, however, we do not credit. This
would be an unreasonable time OF the
year Tor such a movement We believe
It Is simply the question of salt, and we
sincerely trust for the sake OF all con-
cerned that the matter will be settled AT
once and thus relieve the strained feeling
which now exists.

PASTEUR.

The name OF Louis Pasteur will 20
down to posterity along with the names
oi the henefactors OF mankind. To this
fame he will be justly entitled, for we'll
has he earned it. For the last few days
his name has been prominently before the
country on account OF the sending OF
number oil children to Paris to
be treated by him for hydrophobia.
Pasteur says lac can cure these unfortu-
nate ones, and Pasteur, although a san
guine and enthusiastic man, is not a
visionary nor one given to raising false
hopes. When he differed from Liebeg as
to the causes OF fermentation he demon
strated his position by actual experiment
and did not confine himself to mere
argument and refutation. When
he announced to the Academic des
Sciences that he had discovered
cure for splenic fever he was prepared
TO prove his assertion. Invited to Melun
to demonstrate what he had asserted at
Paris, he announced, on his arrival at
Melnn, that he would take fifty head of
sheep and would kill twenty-five of them
by innoculating them with the blood OF
sheep that had died OF splenic fever
and that the other twenty-five would
not die from this innoculation,
where the innoeulation was made after he
had treated the sheep that would not
die, He merely vaccinated these sheep
with some virus which he had greatly at
tenuated by cultivation, and the result
was as he predicted. For the past few

sThe Rnft.End of the LAW

The Mormons appear to be getting
what is popularly termed "the butt-end
OF the law" All symptoms indicate that
this disagrees with the Mormons, but
there is no help for them. They must, il
they are really honest in their convictions
and want peace, seek some fruitful isle of
the Pacific not belonging to Bismarck or
somebody else in authority, and there
carry on their great experiment in little
country OF their own. They cannot pos
sibly retain Utah and polygamy.-Clere-

power to do Utah lasting kindness and
to save her from many evils, but the
Legislature will probably sit supinely
by and let the opportunity to do great
work go by unheeded. The people OF
Utah know that the issue of polygamy is
upon them, and upon them for final set
tlement, then why do not their repre-
sentatives do something to make that
settlement as advantageous to the people
OF Utah as possible2 We take it that
any man who is not absolutely blind must
see that polygamy in the United States is
doomed. In its suppression and final
overthrow there will necessarily be much
pain and sorrow, but the people of Utah
persistently refuse to surcease their sor-
row or soften their pain. II the Legis-
lature will but take the initiative in this
matter OF settling the Utah problem, they
can in all probability preserve inviolate
the polygamous homes which now ex-
ist, but this can only be by an
absolute surrender OF the practice
Of polygamy in future. The practice
Of polygamy must cease some time, and
il the people Of Utah will not cease it OF
their own accord they will be made to
cease it. They may be conscientious in
their belief and practice of polygamy, but
no government can permit conscience to
usurp and control the most important
factor in the State-the family. The peo-
pie of Utah should fully realize that non
action by the Legislature this winter OF
the Utah question is an invitation to the
Government to disfranchise the people o
Utah and to put in the place of the Legis
latrre Legislative Commission.
