A NICE LITTLE FIAsCO.

A very pretty Republican scheme was
spoiled by the Democratic senators of the
Iowa legislature on Tuesday. That body
is divided into twenty-five Democrats,
twenty four Republicans. and one hide
pendent. The Independent, DR.. ENGLE.
was formerly Republican, but left the
party on account of its high tariff policy.
He was nominated by the Union-L aborites
and indorsed by the Democrats, about 800
former Republicans voting for him also.
When ENGLE got to the capitol he put q
ticket in the field for officers of the senate
and the Republicans supported it. This
would make tie with the Democrats, and
with the casting vote of Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor PIONEER, ENGLE's safe would 90
through before the inauguration of the
new Democratic Acknowledgements. But
The HERALD's dispatches of yesterday
show that their little game, by which
one man was practically to dictate the
entire organization of the senate, together
with ten of its leading committees, was
brought to naught by the simple device OF
the Democrats not voting. The Republic
can presiding officer was compelled to de-
clare that as there was no quorum no bust
ness was in order, and as no rules could be
adopted the REED process would not avail
Thus, after the manner Of 1.-THE best lai6
schemes of mice and men," the beaten Re
publicans were left to chew the end of bit
ter disappointment.

TIE cLAGETI CONTEST.

The contested election case of CLAGETT
against DUBOIS has been opened by the
Senate committee on elections, and will
probably be closed to-day, so far as the
hearing of testimony and arguments is
concerned. The report will speedily fol-
low, and of course DUBOIS will continue in
the seat. CLAGETT has about as much right
to the Idaho Senatorship as he has to the
speakership of the Utah house of represen-
tatives. His claim is based on undiluted
gall. The explanation of why he is making
the fight has been given in the Wash
ington dispatches of the past few
days. 1t is the custom of the Sen
ate to pay the contestant what the
salary would amount to up to the time of
the decision of the case, together with the
mileage. In this instance Mr. Clagett
will receive about $1,000, which will pay
him pretty well for his time and expenses.
The gentleman being Of an enterprising
and thrifty turn of mind, he might, as soon
as this case has been decided, file notice of
contest for somebody else's seat, and thus
get another years salary. In this way he
should be able to get pretty good living
from the federal treasury.
The HERALD is not overwhelmed with
admiration for Senator DUBOIS, who
is much more of politician
them statesman, but in this matter his
title to the Office is straight and the claim
of CLAGETT is so fiimsy that DUBOIS most
bitter enemies, if they have regard for the
justice and the forms of law, must concede
his right to the Senatorship as against that
of the contestant.
This contest should cause the Senate to
rescind the rule requiring the payment of
contestants. putting these matters upon
the basis of suits at law where the loser
| bears his expenses and the costs of the
trial. Men of the CLAGETT stripe would
not then be so keen to lay claim to seats to
which they had no title.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-01-14

bers of the upper house of Congress are
known to be friendly to Utah and willing
to do anything which will overcome
of things existing here. Some Republican
Senators, moro broad-minded than their
fellows, have said they were ready to sd-
NIT the territory to the Union as state
being confident that in SO doing they would
solve the utah problem" in the speediest
and best manner possible. However, that
is neither asked nor expected, the local COM
munity being content to prove its sincerity
and trustworthiness before demanding
its full rights as an American common
wealth.
But we hear it said by those unfriendly
to the project that President HARRISON
will make short work of the bill when it
reaches him. Perhaps he may; and then
again he may not. There is nothing in the
bill antagonistic to the views expressed by
the President concerning this territory.
HARRISON has accepted the SANDER
that the Mormons were insincere
in their recent utterances and
actions, but has said, in effect,
that as soon as the doubts were removed
emancipation should come. ii he were
honest in this, he can find nothing in the
bill to oppose. The new organic act would
simply confer home rule while the people
were proving by their conduct that they
were honest and earnest when they de-
clared their intention to conform to the
sentiment of the age. Were President
HARRISON to veto the bill he would be
compelled to assume a position inconsist-
ent with that which he has professed to
occupy with reference to this community
and the problem here presented. Mr..
HARRISON does some very peculiar things,
but we doubt that he will veto the Home
Rule bill, for the reason that he can find
no good ground upon which to base veto.
If the bill gets through Congress, we be-
lieve it will become law.

NOW FOR WYOMING.

That was significant election held in
Cheyenne on Tuesday, when the Republi-
cans suffered defeat for the first time in
fifteen years. Cheyenne is in the bdnner
Republican county of the state. 1t mas al
ways been hotbed Of Republicarism.
Sometimes the county has cast two Re
publican TO one Democratic votes. Tues
days vote, we take it, was not the result
of a sudden revolt against the party
nor protest against the Republican
nominees. The Democratic victory came
as the consequence of the spread of Demo
cratic principles, and the gradual CONVEX
sion of men to the political doctrine of
right. The tendency towards this result
has been steady but certain. In 1884 the
Republicans had majority in the county
of 977, or very nearly as much
as the total Democratic vote. Six
years later, the Democrats hav-
ing made a gallant campaign reduced
the majority against them to $50
And the Democracy has carried the city
which Of course means that the party has
a majority in the county.
The significance of this is that the
Democrats of Wyoming stand an
excellent chance of carrying the state in
November Only twice in the history of
Wyoming have the Democrats been sue
cessful-the first time in 1880, when they
elected the Congressman by 147 majority,
and next in 1882, when their majority was
ILL. The Republicans nave practically
had things their own way. The total vote
OF the state has ranged from about $500 in
1878 to about 1900 in 1883, and the Repub-
lican maiorities have been as follows
1S7S-1, 079; 1854, $3.50; 1867, 1914 1855
| z, 1894; 1901, 764. In the latter year every
county in the state was carried by the Re-
publicans for governor, and the majority
of the Republican candidate for Congress
was 1850.
THE HERALD now believes that if the
Democrats will make good fight this year
they can carry the state and bring Wyom-
ing into the Democratic fold The SECOND
county in the state to-day is Uinta, on tn,
border of Utah, and the majority of tn,
voters there are Democratic in their belief
Another of the larger counties is Carbon
which the Democrats can get with an effort
whilst Sweetwater, at one time strongly
Republican, switched in 1899. aud cam,
within % votes of electing the Democratic
ticket. With Laramie county, in which
Cheyenne is located, in addition tn the tire,
counties named above, the Democrat
should hold the state The outlook is g
encouraging that our friends over Their
should make the greatest struggle of thei,
lives. Besides the control of the state
United States Senatorship is involved.

The LEGISLATURE.

1t is noted that the bills are piling into
the legislature at lively rate, although
the respective houses have only just COM
pleted their organizations. This is good
sign, suggesting that the members have
been thinking ever since their election last
summer of what was needed. 1t also sug-
gests that the gentlemen are workers and
are eager to get down to business. The
ambition is a laudable one and reflects
credit upon the lawmakers.
But let US remark, by way of caution,
that the community does not demand
very great addition to our statute laws.
Some Of the acts in the books need amend
ment and some new laws are required, but
we believe it will be better if the legisla-
ture will not undertake too much The
people are going to watch the assembly
very closely. The record made during the
next sixty days will have an effect upon the
community in general and upon the
Democracy in particular That record will
be judged by the quality rather than by the
amount Of work performed. If every bill
which is sent to the governor is such a
measure as will call forth the approval of
the Intelligent masses, the effect will be ex-
cellent; whilst if any bills give evidence of
haste in their preparation and lack of due
consideration, not only will the members
be censured but the Democracy will be
held accountable. We do not intend to be
understood by this as intimating that all or
any legislation should be partisan All
laws must be fair and just, and intended to
meet the demands of the public. Our eau
ton is against wasting time over matters
which are insignificant, when all care and
watchfulness should be given to the few
measures which will go into the books as
