Council Notes.
Attorney King, of Provo, formerly
president of the Council was an in
terested spectator.
The House of Lords" as the boys
in the lower or House of Commons
call the members of the Council, I'M
limbered greatly toward the closing
hours. But for the absence of high
hats so frequently seen in the great
house on the other side of the water,
found. Some call Mr.. Williams the
Balfour and but for the difference in
years perhaps, Mr.. Seaman might re-
semble the retiring premier.
The lobby has been late in organizing
but perhaps it has been just that much
more effectual. 1t has been made ur
of men, from the capitalist to the ex-
perienced handler of men, a most in
teresting study in human nature. The
changes that took place and the atti-
tudes presented by the various mem

sunshine and showers, with an occa-
sional rainbow Of hope. And witha
there is substratum of motives per
sonal and political, mingled with {
sense of duty and patriotism-and oc
casional broadmindedness that makes
the peopre feel that total depravity has
not invaded all such assemblies. The
system of praying, by which certain
interested departments Of the territory
secure favors in exchange for others
can be well condemned when done FOL
personal advantage. However, vel
known the rule of give and take as ap
piled to legislation, yet it must Away!
be tempered with the element of gen
eral good to escape the imputation @
improper influence. Generally a Leg
Iislative body is a fair average mill run
of the people they represent and whel
an assay is made the per cent of bas'
and pure metal will be about an aver
age of the constituency.
We trust the day is far off when thu
third house will be a recognized neces
sity When a people elect a legislato
it should not be necessary to sent
along a chaperon to keep watch ant
see that he goes straight. Better cleo
the third house at once-and hold
responsible.
The talks" in the Council developet
some wits and few reasoners upol
the appropriation bill. Seaman favore,
the removal of the capitol to Provo Of
account of the "modesty'' of Salt LAX
ers, and he longed for a spot wher
Legislation can be enacted uncontami
mated with so much ''modesty'' {?
Wait till the clouds roll by and h
would favor an appropriation for an
reasonable object.
Many think the proposition Of MI
Hart to appropriate $4,000 to be ex
pended in investigating the irrigation
question and other matters pertainin
to the development Of the agriculture
resources of the territory should hav
been adopted. particularly as it woul
now be possible to save a greater sur

experimental station. 1t was not SCI

No great orators have been develop
ed by the session just closed. Their
are a few strong speakers, men

arisen to the full standard of the a
persuading orator-with skill and pow

, day with a brilliant dash.
