THE REASONS WHY.

The action Of the Utah Commission
in appointing q. board of canvassers
for Salt Lake county alone, under the
ruling of Judge Bartch, has OCCASION
ed much discussion. Why did the Com
mission appoint that board for this
county and not for either of the coun>
ties of Weber. Box Elder and Sanpete,
and indeed for all the rest of the coun-
ties? These are very natural questions
and require some explanation.
When the Sanpete case was tried. it
was agreed between counsel on both
sides that the decision in that suit
should apply TO the Weber and Box
Elder county cases. They will there
fore have to wait until the Sanpete
case is fully decided on appeal. 1t is
understood that the petitioners appeal
from the prohibition ruling, and the
defendants from the mandamus ruling.
The returns which have been ac-
cepted and on which no different con-
clusions could be reached if a. can
wasting board were appointed for each
Of them, will not be disturbed. Certi-
ficates will be issued to the candidates
who. on the face of the returns, have

PITY THE POOR ATTORNEYS:


The following sentiments in regard
to the pitful appeal which is being
made for money, under pretense of OBJ
tanning the enforcement of an honest
count, but which. is to pay the efforts
to prevent it, will be endorsed by those
readers of the public journals who
think when they read. They are the
expressions, in substance, of the views
of prominent politician in this ter
ri'tory:
The Tribune is cumming its face
on the pubIic-in the daily appeal
which it makes for financial help. ito
hunt down the so called ballot box
suffers" How did the necessity %
for such an appeal arise?
When the Utah Commission, in the
exercise of its rightful authority, had
canvassed the returns from Sanpete
county, and finding there were dis
crepancies, which could not be recon-
ciled, had recounted the ballots, they
were requested to also call in wit
nesses-as the Statute permits-and
had agreed with Jacob johnson, of
Sanpete county, to visit that region
and examine the judges and other cit,
liens before finally certifying to the
results. Also, it had been agreed NOT
to finally dispose of any county in the
absence of Commissioner Tatlock,
who was then away on the Indian
troubles.
But 10! the Great Nogul of the Re.
publican party, Charles Crane, whose
motto in life and politics is: trust no
man." rushed into court and began
the mandamus and prohibition suits,
and it is to pay the cost of this '1ack
of trust" that the Tribune now APP
peals for aid.
Not a dollar will ever go beyond
that, and the hunting down of crirnl,
nails will be left TO men who have a
sincere regard for the good name of
the territory, and who have another
motto than that heralded by Crane.
Zane and Co.
Let no guilty man escape" is the
true desire of all who really wish to
promote the purity of elections. Yet
to contribute to the Tribune expense
fund is misplaced charity. and can dc
no public good. If the Tribune or
any one else knows of any perpetra-
tors of frauds, it should lay the facts
before the grand jury when the ras-
Gals will be hunted down without any
cost other than that provided il the
! law

received the highest number OF votes.
Such discrepancies as occur in the re-
turns not being sufficient TO affect the
result to any candidate.
That leaves Salt Lake county TO be
disposed of. In order to expedite the
settlement of disputes in that case, tine
Commission have appointed a canvas
sing board under the ruling of Judge
Bartch. If his decision stands the test
of the Supreme Court, the work for
this county will be done and the alb
stract be ready for the Commission.
If not, the Commission will have to
go over the returns again, that is ali.
1t is desirable to get the canvass
into a condition as nearly complete as
possible so that everything may be
done in time for the convention. If
canvassing boards were appointed for
all the counties there would be neither
money to pay them nor time to COM
plete the work. The Commission have
proceeded under competent legal adj
vice and we believe. the results will
Justify their action.

LET THE CITY TAKE HOLD.

The 1aboring men who met on
to take action in reference
to the condition in relation to work
on the sewer, have a. grievance. salt
Lake work for Salt Lake workmen"
has not been the rule in practice, no
matter What it may have been in the
Dry. Transients have received employ
ment while bona fide residents have
been allowed TO go idle. That is
wrong, it is bad policy and is breach
of good faith.
The request of the workingmen
that the city take hold of the sewer
work is a reasonable one. OF course
the contract would nave to be broken,
a settlement be made with the con-
tractors and the work would have to
go on under the direction Of the city
engineer. But the city council has the
power under the law TO do all that,
and there is enough money in reserve
TO settle with the contractors and do
a great deal towards finishing the
sewer, if not complete it altogether.
We hope tine city authorities will
favoraibly consider the request Of the
workmen Considerable dissatisfaction
is felt in regard to the manner in
which the contract has been carried
out, and we believe the mass of the
taxpayers would justify the city coun-
ell in winding UP affairs with the con-
tractors, proceeding with the work d1-
rect and giving employment, as far
as possible, to the permanent resi-
dents who need labor and
are ready and willing to perform il
honestly and reasonably.

UNITED STATES SENATORS.

So far the elections for United States
Senators in the West have been con-
Quoted with becoming alacrity and
measurarbly free from the intrigues
and suspicious tactics which have cast
a cloud upon other legislative contests.
The selections are mainly good, too,
considering that the successful candf-
dates are Republicans.
The result in Montana is satisfactory
in that it not only sends two pretty
able men to the United States Senate.
but is a defeat OF combined and de-
termined effort to prevent the election
of a candidate because he was a Ro-
man Catholic. The A p. a. concentra-
ted forces in that direction. They
made great exertions to prevent the
election of Carter. They fully expected
to succeed. But it seems that even
some of their own party who were in
the legislature, refused to be bound by
the un-American obligations to vote
against "a man on account of his ren-
gion.
That is something that cannot and
States. Any religious test in politics
is obnoxious to the sentiment of reli-
gious liberty that antmates the breast
! of every consistent freeman. Catholic
or Protestant, Christian or Pagan,
| theist or atheist, every citizen must be
free to enjoy mis- opinions, and his
right to vote and hold office must not
be fTlfringed on account of his religious
or drreIigious views and Affiliations.
The subject of the election of United
States Senators has been for some
time one that has engaged the atten-
| ton of thoughtful minds in this coun-
try. The popular vote principle is rap-
idly growing in public favor. There
are many prominent converts to the
change. There seem to be no strong
reasons against it. Amending the Con.
stitution is a difficult process. lit ia
true, but when the advantages to be
obtained are such as to warrant III.
there should be no hesitation abourt
the work.
The greatest obstacle in the way
will be the Senate itself But the Or
jections which many of the members
of that body entertain will be soon
Iswept away. if the feeling that is now
expressed by very large number OF
voters shall continue to incrsSse as
rapidly as it has grown the past few
years.
The election of Senators by direct
vote OF the people will not affect the
chief principle of difference in the con.
stitution of the two Houses of Con
gress. Each state will continue to be
equal with every other state in its rep.
resentation in the Upper House. Moth.
ing viii be lost to any state by The
change. 1t will simply be the iirect
expression of the will of the peoplt
that will elect Senators, as it now is
in the election of Representative in
Congress. And there appears no gooi
reason why the popular vote shourt
elect state Senators and not Senators
of the United States. If the subtec
: is thoroughly agitated, the change
: which we regard as an improvements
: will not take very long to effect.
