1t will be observed that in no case do
the republicans fail of having a much
larger percentage of representation in the
Legislature than they have among tho
voters. This is as true of Massachusetts
and New Hampshire, which States i'm
pose no restrictions on the operation OF
the principle of representation in proper
ton to population, as of the other States
which do. The cause of this in Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire, and to a
large extent in the other States as the
district system of electing representatives,
to the Legislature, whereby the popular
strength of parties becomes unevenly dis
tributed The democratic party suffers
more because its strength is less evenly
distributed among the districts than that
of the republican party, its main forces
being massed in certain sections of the
cities.
The conclusion of this writer therefore
seems to be justifed-"that, although
equal representation is the ideal set up by
the constitutions, there is utter disagree
ment as to what constitutes equality OF
representation, while in their attempts to
realize it most of the States, by clinging to
its letter have sacrificed its spirit
The writer of the article has been at
some pains TO collect statistics of the &C.
cupations of members of the last New
ENGLAND Legislatures. Massachusetts
with a membership in both houses of $50
had only II farmcrs--it seems hardly pos
slble the figure could be so small-whilt
LAWYERS occupied 49 seats, merchants 50
and manufacturers 40. In Vermont. OF
the other hand, of 271 legislative members
152 were farmers and only 10 lawyers. Con
necticut is more of a manufacturing thar
an AGRICULTURAL State; but of Z6 members
% were farmers, only II lawyers, and 81
manufacturers. This preponderance of the
farming class in Connecticut is due TO th'
distribution of membership by towns in
stead of population. Rhode Island ha!
more manufacturers in its representation
| than any other occupation, more mer
chants than farmers, and more farmers
than lawyers. over 100 Of the 3S7 mem
bers of New Hampshire's Legislature
were farmers, with the other occupations
well distributed in the membership.

PREVIOUS INTERNATIONAL YACHT
RACES.
From the Hartford Courant,)

The art of boat building has made great
progress in recent years. The race of
1898, between the Ngilant and Valkyrie,
was won by the American boat, but with
little room to spare, and 1T taught people
a good deal on each side of the water,
Careful observers say that each of the
1895 boats reflect details of the opposl-
ton boat OF two years ago.
There have been eight races so far and
the British boats have been beaten as fol-
lows:
1S5l-Around the Isle Of Wright, the
Royal Yacht Squadron by the schooner
America.
1N0-In New York bay, the schooner
Cambria, by the schooner Magic in race
with New York club.

A JUST RERUKE.

The action of the Supreme Court on
Saturday in sitting down on the impu-
dent attorney who had virtually ex-
pressed contempt for the court when
speaking before Judge Bartch in the
election case, was eminently proper in
view of the circumstances and the dig
nifty Of the court
The Herald has expressed its views
more than once on the license per-
mitted to attorneys in practicing at the
bar. The class to (which John NJ Zane
belongs often presume on their posi-
ton and the protection it gives them,
TO insult witnesses, abuse defendants,
use language they dare not employ in
the face of their victims in private, and
show generally the characteristics of
the bully and the coward. Occasionally
they go so far as to reflect upon the
courts before which they plead, and as
in this case lay themselves open to ju-
dicial censure.
We do not care to discuss the legal
aspect of the dispute between Attorney
Zane and the Supreme Court. That will
no doubt be ventilated and proper de-
cision arrived at. But we think it was
due to the dignity of the court that
some such notice should be taken of
the language of young Zane as it re-
ceiYed on Saturday. If courts do not
preserve their own dignity they will
not maintain that public respect which
is essential to their fun authority.
We would be glad to see such mem
bers Of the bar as resort to the tactics
exhibited by John M Zane, taught a
lesson which will have the effect to
make them decent. And in our opin-
ion, courts in the United States are
far too lax in their discipline. They
should protect witnesses and defend
ants against the often Wrulent and
shameful attacks of viperish attorneys,
who seek to confuse instead of en-
tighten, and to sting and enrage and
vilify in the place of bringing forth
facts and reasons.
We are glad the Chief Justice took
the position he occupied on Saturday
morning, and we believe he will be
supported in his course by respectable
people Of all parties and classes. An
attorney who viii openly insult the
Supreme Court is not fit to practice in
that court. There is a proper way fof
the sprig of the law that has become
swelled at the head to place himself
right in this matter. and if he does
not take it he should be left to take the
natural consequences.

QUEEN LIS ARREST.

The arrest of the ex-Queen of thej
Hawaiian Islands was an unexpected
and startling event There was nothing
in the news that reached this country
of the a,bortive rebellion which assoc
ciated the ex-Queen With the uprising
There may be circumstances which JUS
tify the action Of the government Of
Hawaii in this matter, but they do not
at present appear.
There are 50 many Indications Of a
forced outbreak, precipitated by tihe ac-
ton of men who support the present
government, that we are suspicious Of
the whole proceedings. No doubt the
annexationiSts would like to ge rid of
LiliouIzaIani altogether. She Us a source
of anxiety and annoyance to- them. She
was deposed by tTickary, and the gov
eminent which has succeeded hers was
set up on such a false pretence of popu-
lar assent, that a feeling of insecurity
must naturally prevail while she lives
or is ON the Islands.
The fact THAT the ex-Queen is off color,
either in race or in morals, or in both,
should have nothing to do with the
question of her rights Yet it is
brought in by some bigoted people
whenever that question arises. '%The
dusky wench," the "dissoIute Queen, .
and lower phrases ar'e used as though
they ought to settle the matter.
The plain truth is that She was most
shamefully treated, and the revolt
against her was not to amy extent

THE DONOVAN CASE,

There has been much discussion in
municipal circles in regard to paying
the salary of Captain of Police Dono-
van during the time he was absent
from his post in this city, in pursuit
Of Mulvaney and Valentine, and his re-
cent visit to San Francisco after an
other alleged criminal.
One side of the case is presented in
this way:
In the first place, as captain of police,
or as mere peace officer of this city,
Mr.. Donovan has no right to make any
arrest at Murray or Woods Cross, let
alone in Texas and California.
In the second place, there are plenty
of deputy United States marshals who
are not only willing, but anxious, to do
their duty-that of bringing back Of
tenders against the laws who have
flown to other parts.
on the other side it is claimed. and
very justly. too. that Captain Donovan
did not make these arrests as captain
of police Of this city. but by virtue of
his commission as a deputy United
States marshal.
But, we take it. such commissions
were given to him and others merely to
aid them in the pursuit Of criminals
who may have broken city ordinances
and flown beyond the limits of the
city.
But it cannot be claimed that Cap
tain TJoyIoyan can Justly draw two sal
aries at the same time. and it is argued
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-02-03

that it is the duty of the marshal's
office to bear such expense as has
accrued in the two instances men
toned
Yet after all the salary is the least
important ftemt Salt Lake needs the
services of a Captain of police; his
brain and Drawn are necessary to the
proper conduct of the police department
and the good order of the city. This
being granted, why should Mr.. Dono-
van be allowed to absent himself from
his post days and weeks at a time.
doing service as an officer OF the
United States?
If Mr.. Donovan, in pursuit Of a
criminal whom he had been trailing,
finds 1T necessary, in order to effect
the mans capture, to go outside THE
limits of the city, county, or even ter
rit0ry, we'll and good; but it is not
considered fair that he do work which
lis properly within the sphere Of a
deputy United States marshal, ana
neglect his own.
If he does such United States
duty, then he certainly can expect no
pay from the city during his absence
from the corporation limits.
The Herald regards Captain Dono-
van as an able, fearless and efficient
officer. He should be paid for his ser
vices. But if he draws his salary as
captain of police, he should not re-
ceiYe anything more than his expenses
further than that. If he is paid as a
deputy marshal, then he should not
draw his salary as captain of police.
! In presenting this matter as it has
been discussed, The Herald has moth
ing against the police department OF
the city nor the executive department
I Of the United States. But where it can
be done. each department should ACT
Within its own sphere. If the United
States Marshal needs the services OF
Captain Donovan. no doubt they can
be obtained on a proper understanding
with the Chief of Police But the opi1l-
ion is general THAT with an efficient
corps of deputies. only in very rare
and exceptional instances will it be
| 1ound necessary TO send the ponce
captain to different parts of the coun-
try to perform the work Of United
States deputy marshal.
| We have no doubt the pay part OF
the controversy will be an right. and
we hope it will he done in all fairness
to an officer who has acted according
to orders and has shown himself TO be
equal to the occasion in both capac.
.ties.
