AMBITIOUS legislators-elect are reported
as already busy preparing "bills." Spare
the people, gentlemen! The fewer bills
the better. The direct and certain road to
legislative failure is through the intro
duction of a mass of proposed laws. Let
the few general measures needed be
agreed upon, and members selected in
each house to introduce them. As for the
remainder of the work, let il be directed
chiefly to restraint of the bill-introdueing
propensity. If there is one thing better
settled than another it is this, that the
disrepute of Legislatures is more due to
failure to do than for acts of commission.
This failure is chargeable in seven cases
out of ten to the fact that the calendars are
so overloaded that needed measures, with
out coin or a pull to force them to the front,
die in the mass of bills smothered by the
outrageous pack of the calendar. If our
legislators could be induced to study
Spencer on this subject, and act as he ad-
vises, they would give the State infinitely
better results than they viii if they yield
to the impulse to introduce bill on every
matter that they may imagine can be re-
formed by Act of Legislature. The one
thing that most disturbs and aff1icts the
people of this State relative to the laws is
the uncertainty regarding them and the
constant patching they undergo. Let the
men who come up to the Capitol in
January reflect upon these truths and
devise some means of bringing about an
agreement not to overload the calendars
by a host Of useless measures and a
greater host of duplicates"

have been the delivery by the State
Treasurer to the County Treasurer of the
difference between the amount Los
Angeles should have paid in and that she
was entitled to draw out.
While it is not suggested by the Treas
urer, 1t seems to us that the whole system
might be adjusted so that the exact
amount of drawback would be known.
This might be done by system of re-
ports to the State Superintendent of In
struction, to enable him to declare the
apportionment so that the balance might
be struck before payments are made to
the State, or drafts made upon the State
Treasury for school funds. But whether
TINS is feasible or not, the present system
Is certainly one that burdens the counties
unnecessarily.
The Treasurer complains of the States
financial system that keeps idle in her
vaults constantly from two and a half
millions to five millions of dollars with
drawn from circulation. He advises that
the larger portion of this sum might be
loaned at low rate of interest, subject to
call and secured by United States bonds,
or approved county or irrigation bonds
at 80 per cent. of their value, and thus put
into circulation a large sum of money
that is withdrawn from financial cur
rents with the same stringency as a re-
suit. The earnings of these loans, he
suggests, might go to the benefit of the
school fund. During the last eighteen
months the State has had thus locked up
in her vaults an average of 81, 500, 900,
which, if it had been put out on call
loans, would have produced S., 600 year,
and, in his opinion, without the slightest
detriment to the public service.
AS to this suggestion we reserve opin-
ion; it calls for more consideration than
we can just now give it. But assuredly
it will command debate, and will draw
the fire of bankers, lenders and fnan-
ciers and deserves to be considered gen
orally. 1t should be added that the
Treasurer fortifes his suggestion by
citing the example of Wisconsin. that
State requiring the surplus funds in her
Treasury to be put out on loan, instead
of remaining idle in her vaults.

WHY should not the immigration Com
mittee, now in session, adopt its Chair
mans proposition to require immigrants
TO be able to read and write? Is not the
adult illiterate likely to remain such, and
how can that class become properly in
telligeut concerning the institutions of
the country? True, he may learn by
hearsay; but set it down as a rule that the
man who can neither read nor write in
any language is the very last to adopt
other means to inform himself. All his
associations are likely to be of a charac-
ter that will tend to keep him in igno-

THE Governor of Utah reports to the
Federal Government that polygamy in
Utah is on the decline, and that it is his
conviction that the Mormon people sin
cerely intend to wholly abandon it, and
hereafter refuse to sanction or approve
snch marriages. Good; but what becomes
of the doctrine on which it was based {?
What becomes Of the revelation made to
the Prophet concerning plural mar
riages? In truth, the abandonment of
polygamy by the Mormons of Utah
means a breaking down of faith in their
prophets and seers; it means the crum-
bling of the religion itself, for it confesses
the error of those whom the Mormons
have been taught to regard as the mouth
piece of the Divine head.

TOPEKA, KAN, December 3.-John Rich;
ardson. editor Of the Wichita Beacon, said
this morning that the result of the official
count gave the Democrats balance oil
power which was absolute. He claims that
the figures showing the return of O'Brien,
of Sedgewick county. and billiard, Of Bour-
bon, TO the Senate would stand. while
there will be two Democrats IN the lower
house. According to the official count
this makes the political complexion of the
Legislature on Joint ballot as follows: he
publIcans, 70; Populists. 81; Democrats, >.
fIghty-three votes are necessary TO elect.
and the four Democrats could go with the
Republicans and have the exact number
required.
0'Brien is q Fusion Democrat and has
ALWAYS affiliated with the Populists: IL Is
claimed by the Populists that he's pledged
to the support Of the PopulIst caucus
nominee, but the Democrats contend that
he will insist upon the election OF Demo
crat and give the Populists the state
Printer as q compromise. Dillon IS OF
about the same political faith as O'Brien.
Mr.. Richardson Is authority for the
statement that neither of these senators
would vote under any circumstances Tor
recalcitrant Democrat, and that without
them Observation-Disclosures combine Is
all impossiblllty.

CLAIMS that a heavy vote from South Caro-
lima was polled, and that dead men on the
rogistration-list voted five and SIX times
apiece. "The curious thing about it all, :"
saws MIR. Watson, =" is that the Democrats
boast of their frauds, and their usual
morning salutatiop is changed from Hows
yonr hyer?' TO How many times did YOU

and the only question is, Can l get far

MIR. Watson states that at rally held at
Thomson. Ga. yesterday $500 was con-
tribated by whites and blacks IN sums
ranging from five cents 10 IS TO contest
Blacks seat. One thousand dollars be-
sides was in sight. Watson told an Asso-
ciated-Press reporter be had thoroughly
neglected his private business affairs and
exhausted his own finances, aud had
worked himself down completely. Watson
was formerly lawyer. but when he went
TO Congress he sold his law books. stating
that 1t was impossible for lawyers to rep
resent farmers.
The Democrats deny Watson's charges
of fraud and make counter-charges of
fraud IN the rural counties.
Mr.. Watson denies the report that he is
going West, and says he will remain at
homo at Thomson forever, if not seated in
the next Congress. He also denies the re-
port that he has slept with negro people,
as alleged by Orator Doyle at Davisooro'
during the campaign. There is con-
siderable speculation as to Watson'sfuture.
He is owner Of The Peoples Party Paper, a
weekly paper here. aud, 1t is said, he Will

Row., December a. Diplomatic and
ecclesiastical circles variously comment on
the appointment of Cardinal Serafno
Yanutelli rs Archbishop of Bologna. The
appointment was O surprise to everybody.
1t is understood that the Pope took this
unexpected action because Cardinal Sera-
fino was considered chief of the opposition
Roman. French, Austrian, and German
against the republican policy of the Holy
Father. The Pope has wished by deci-
sive act 10 show that he will never be
turned aside from the path he has selected
TO pursue.
The event IL triumph for Cardinal RAM
pOlla and Cardinal Ledochowski. aud also
for France and Russia. The nomination
has peculiar importance in relation to the
coming conclave, as through 1t the candi-
date of Emperor Francis Joseph and OF
the European courts finds himself placed
at some distance from Rome, His bro
ther, the Cardinal Vincenzo Yanutelli,
formerly Nuncio at Lisbon, will be APP
pointed project of the congregation OF the
council, a technical post for the old diplo-
matist II gems that the Pope has thus
desired to complete the significance OF
Cardinal Serafinos promotion.
DECLINES TO ARBITRAIE.
It Is said on good authority that the
Pope has not responded TO the approaches
of certain powers who desired to submit
TO his arbitration international questions,
and who have asked him to try and bring
about an understanding between France
and Germany, with view to a European
alliance against Russia. Concession and
! compensation for the Pope in Rome and
I for France on the frontier were suggested.
IL is also said that England was no stranger
| to these pour pdrLers. But tho Pope has

terests. II would be impossible TO get

On the other hand the Holy Father has
| Just taken steps towards rendering closer

only been an exchange of views but pro-
tocol has been prepared on the subject. 1t
| is understood that the Grand Duke Ser

not been strangers to this accentuation OF
