THE British Parliament will be pro-
rogued to-day. Lord Salsbury's gov.
ernment has been much more success
ful than was expected. He has done
exceedingly well in view of the
fact that there is real majority in the
House against the Conservative party.
The prediction that in the November
elections Mr.. Gladstone and the Liberal
party would return to power is not as
freely made as it was when the House
of Commons refused to support them
longer. The coming canvass for Par
lament will be one of the most exciting
that England has ever seen. The re-
cent scandals attaching to prominent
Liberal are being used extensively by
the Conservative election agents.
The Liberals at first tried to
use the Pal Mall Gazette revelations
against their opponents, but have prac-
tically given that over in view Of the
fact that under the Salisbury govern
ment the age of consent bill which had
been repeatedly before the House of
Commons has gone through the Lords
three times and become law. Among
other popular measures which the Sails
bury ministry has gotten through are
those for the better housing of the poor
in cities, and to enable Irish tenants to
purchase their holdings. In short. the
Conservative party is pretty well
equipped for the campaign. But Mr..
Gladstone is power in the land, and
it Is likely that he and the Liberals will
be placed on top again by the Novem-
Der elections.

lied navy department. The fact that within
seventeen years more than $75,0OO. 900 has

further fact that instead of an

to the disclosures now made, do not permit
us to doubt that every attempt to revive our

LEGAL MATTERS.
Courts Overwhelmed With Business
and Legislation Necessary.

~@A3~
The report OF the attorney general contains
history of the conduct OF the department of
Justice during the last year, and number Of
valuable suggestions as to needed legislation.
and / invite your careful attention to the
same. The condition of business in the
seems to be an imperative necessity for
remedial legislation on the subject. Some of
these courts are 80 overburdened with pend
Ing causes that the delays In determining
litigation amount often to denial Of justice.
AMONG HE PLANS
suggested for relief is one submitted bv the
attorney general. Its main features are the
transfer of all the original jurisdiction Of the
circuit courts to the district courts and an
increase Of judges for the latter where neces-
sary, an addition of judges to the circuit
courts and constituting them exclusively
courts OF appeal and reasonably limiting ap-
Peals thereto. Further restrictions are of
the right to remove causes from the state to
federal courts permitting appeals to the SUI
prone court from courts of the District of
Columbia and the territories, only in the
same cases as they are allowed from state
courts, and guardingcagainst an unnecessary
number of appeals from the circuit court. I
approve the plan thus outlined and recon-
mend the legislation necessary for its appli-
cation to our judicial system
The present mode of compromising United
States marshals and district attorneys should.
In my opinion, be changed. They are allowed
to charge against the government certain
fees for service, their income being measured
by the amount of such fees within a fixed
limit as to their annual aggregate. This is a
direct inducement for them to make their
fees in criminal cases as large as possible in
IN effort to reach the maximum sum permit
ted. AS an entirely natural consequence un-
scrupulous marshals are found encouraging
frivolous prosecutions, arresting people on
petty charges Of crime and Transporting
them to distant places for examination ami
trial for the purpose Of earning milage
and other, fees and district attorneys use
lessly attend criminal examinations far from
their places of residence for the express pur-
pose Of swelling their accounts against the
government. The actual expenses incurred

guilty OF polyeamy, and while none OF that
class are holding office, yet At the last cleo
ton IN ths territory ell the officers elected,
though not actually living in tho
practice Of polyRamy, subscribe to
the doctrine Of polygamous marrisee a 4
Divine revelation and law unto Ill. This II
the strange spectacle presented by q com
munlty protected by republican form Of
sustaining by their SURFACES principle and
oeiief which sets at nausht their obligation
OF absolute obedience to the law Of the land,
which lies at the foundation Of republican
institutions. The strength, the perpetuity
and the destiny Of the nation rest upon our
homes, established by the law Of God,
guarded by parental care, regulated by par
entail authority and sanctif1ed by parental
love.
0 These are not the homes Of polyeamy. The
mothers of our land, who rule the nation, as
they would the characters and guide the &C.
tions of their sons, live according to Gods
molly ordinance, and each, secure and happy
IN the exclusive love of the father Of her
children, sheds the warm light of true
womanhood unperverteda and unpolluted upon
an within her pure and wholesome family
circle. These are not the cherries, crushed
and unwomanly methods Of polygamy.
The fathers of our families are the best
cltzens OF the republic. wife and children
are the sources of patriotism, and conjugal
and parental affection beget devotion to
country. The man who, undefled with plural
marriage, is surrounded In his single home
with his wife and children, has stake in the
country which inspires him with respect for
Its laws and courage for its defense. These
are not the fathers Of polygamous fam
lilies. There is no feature of this prac-
tice, or the system which sanctions it,
which Is not opposed to all that is
OF value in our institutions. There should be
no relaxation1n the firm but just execution Of
the law now in operation, and should DO
clad to approve such further discreet legis-
iation as will rid the country of this blot upon
its fair fame. Since the people uphold;ng
polygamy in the territories are reinforced by
Immigration from other lands, recommend
that q law be passed to prevent the importa-
ton OF Mornons into the country.

reports that the number Of trials by general
court-martial during the year was 2,327, and
that 1851 took place before garrison and
regimeutal courts-lnartial. The suggestion
that probably more than half the army have
been tried for otfenses, great and small. In
one year. may well arrest attention. The
cause Of many Of these trials before garri-
son and regimental cOurts-martial were for
OTFENsEs ALMOST FRIVOLOUS,
and there should, think, be u way devised to
dispose of these in u more summary and less
inconvenent manner than courts-martial. If
some Of the proceedings of the courts-murtial
which l have had occasion to examine pre-
sent the ideas of justice that generally pre-
vail In these tribunals, am satisfied that

and the honesty of the army and navy are by
their instrumentality to be vindicated and
protected. The board on Notifications and
other defenses, appointed in pursuance of the
provisions Of the act Of congress approved

greatly aid the legislation so necessary to

Washington Railroad Facilities.

MY attention is called to q controversy
wnaoh has arisen from the condition of the
law relating to railroad facilities In the city
OF washington, which has involved the com.
mlssloners of the district In much annoyance
and trouble. 1 hope the difficulty viii be
promptly settled by appropriate legislation.
The commissioners represent that enough
OF the revenues Of the district arc now on
deposit IN the treasury of the United States
10 repay the sum advanced by the govern
ment for sewer improvements under the act
OF June 80, 1884. They desire now an I'D
vance OF the share, which ultimately should
% BORNE by the district, of the cost of extern
eive improvements to tho streets Of the city.
The total expense of these
CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS
Is estimated at 81, OO0. 0OU, and they are Of tho
opinion that . considerable sum could be
saved It they had all the money in hand, so
that contracts for the whole work could bo
made at the same time. They express con-
ndence that if the advance asked for should
90 made, the government would be reim-
Dursed within q reasonable time.
nave no doubt that the improvement could
be made much cheaper II undertaken to-
gether, and prosecuted according to q general
plan. The license law now in
force within the district is de-
hcient aud uncertain in some of its
provisions and ought to be amended. Tho
commissioners urge, with good reason, the
ueceSslty VI prOV1uln1 building Tor the use
OF the district government which shall better
secure the safety and preservation of the
valuable books and records.
The present condition Of the law in relation
to the
SUCCESSION TO TH1 PRESIDENCY
IN the event of the death, disability or re-
moval OF both the president and vice presi-
dent, Is such as to require immediate amend
1nent. This subject has repeatedly been con-
sldered by congress- but no result has been
reached. Tho recent lamentable death Of the
vice president. and vacancies at the same
time In all other Offices, the incumbents Of
which might Immediately exercise the func-
lions of the presidential Office, has caused
public anxiety, and a just demand that q
recurrence of such q condition of affairs
should not be permitted.
In conclusion I commend to the wise and
thoughtful attention of congress the needs,
the welfare and cooperation Of an intelligent
and generous nation. To subordinate these
to the
NARROW ADVANTAGES OF PARTISANsHIP
or the accomplishment Of selfish aims. is to
violate the peoples trust and betray the peo-
Pies interests. But I'm individual sense of
responsibility on the part Of each Of US, and
a stern determination to perform our duty
well, must give MS place among those who
have added in their day and generation to the
glory and prosperity Of our beloved land.

In the territory Of Utah the law of the United

executed during the past year with measure

and in some cases pleas Of guilty have been
