these years of effort and application by
these people, the matter should now be-
disposed of. Here was constitution like
the constitutions of other States in re-
spect to the security of property, the ad-
ministration of justice, the equal levying
of taxes, and everything that goes to
make up the best Of modern constitutions.
I would not. therefore, say to those peo-
pie that they must be again put off Tor
one, two or three years. A Territory,
Mr.. Edmunds continued, had no right to
remain q Territory forever. The United
States paid very large part of the Terri.
torial expenses and should be relieved OF
that burden as soon as it was consistent
with the general good 1t was the mis-
fortune Of fate for the Senators on the
Democratic side that the Dakotans did
not have political opinions with which
those Senators could agree, and that was
what the matter was.
Mr. Beck denied the right OF a Territory
to divide itself, that being power lodged
only in Congress. The population of the
new Territory, he said, consisted toa con-
siderable extent of foreigners -Scandina-
vians and others-who were not yet pre-
pared for citizenship.
The debate then closed and Mr.. Buffers
substitute was put to vote and lost
yeas %, nays 33.
The bill reported from the committee
was then passed-yeas 80, nays %. The
only Democrat voting in the affirmative
was Mr.. Voorhees,. The negative votes
were all Democratic.
[The bill divides the Territory of Dakota
on the liue of the forty-sixth parallel of
latitude; provides for the admission OF
the Southern portion as a State under the
title of Dakota and the organization Of
the Northern portion into seperate Ter
ritory under the name of Lincoln.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION

| In democracy whose extent is SO
great that all the citizens cannot partici-
pate In the government, government by
representatives, becomes the best possible
substitute for pure democracy. Re-
publlcs that are of any greater extent
than cities must resort to the representa-
tive system. In the United States this is
what has been done, both in the General
Government and in the State and Terri
torial Governments. A representative
government being the best, the more
thoroughly representative it is the better
it will necessarily be. That which is
desirable in a democracy is that eyerv
citizen shall have voice i'm the control
of governmental affairs. This cannot he
done SO long as very considerable por
ton of the citizens are excluded from all
participation in the management of pub
lie affairs. Such state of things can
only be remedied by minority repre-.
sentation. A minority representation
would in no way affect majority rule. In
a tree government the majority will al
ways rule and should rule, but the rule
OF a majority without representation of
the minority, is class rule; and what is
more, majority rule very frequently be-
comes minority rule as Mill points out.
1t happens in this wise. The majority
OF the voters elect their representatives.
VINO have control of the government. but
they elect them by a very small majority. |
ana when these representatives come to
pass upon certain measures which are
proposed as laws, they are passed bv
bare majority of the majority, and |
that to which a great majority of the
electors, who are the true source of
power and who grant the authority nm !
Ter which the representatives act are
opposed. A minority representation
would have rectifed such solecism in
egislation. The minority as we'll as the
majority are considered in arranging
he basis OF representation in any election
district, and this has to be. Representa-
ion is allowed to certain number of
Itizens. This being the case, is there
nything like fair representation of the
itizens constituting an election district
there those who are in small majority i
re given the entire number Of repre-
entatives? There surely is not. Let us
lustrate locally. The Legislative repre- /
entative district of which Salt Lake
ounty forms part is composed of this !

THE JURY BILL VETO.

Governor Murray has vetoed the Jury
Dill. The reasons which he gives for his
veto of the bill are not the reasons of a
statesman. and they may be character
Hed as excuses rather than reasons
Governor Murray says there are other
reasons which might be given in obiec-
ton to the bill. 1t is to be regretted
that ne did not give them, for in them
there might possibly have been found
better reason than those given.
The bill was vetoed that the open yenire
system, SO largely used now-a-days,
might be preserved. That system
makes 1t possible to pack jury, and
that which is possible very often
