in this dispute it has been very funny
to watch the devious course Of our
morning contemporary as to the law
and the duties of the Commission. At
first it took the ground that there was
no power in that body Under any cir
cumstances to touch the ballots, al
though the provision is plain and i'm
perative that when There is any dis
agreement or discrepancy or ''irreg-
ularity'' in the returns, sufficient to af-
feet the result TO any candidate, the
ballots must be opened and the votes
must be canvassed.
The Herald. taking the provisions of
the Edmunds Act and those of the
Utah election statutes together, as the
laws of Congress require, maintained
that the Utah Commission were au-
| thorized and required to make the en-
tire canvass of the returns as they
came from the precinct Judges of cleo
ton. But recognizing the fact that the
Edmunds Act might be construed diff
ferently. showed that if the Commits
sion ought not to perform the duties
Of the county canvassing board, then
the Commission would have to appoint
proper persons to do that work and
the result would be the same so far as
a recount of. the ballots where the dis
crepancies occurred was concerned.
| But our ranftankerOus neighbor did
not want either course to be taken.
The returns must be received by the
Commission and counted up. discrepan-
cies and all, and no further investiga-
! ton must be made. because on their
face they appeared to give a major
ity of fifteen to the Republicans in the
convention. There must be no inves-
| legation, no recount. nothing but little
adding up by the Commission, a declar-
alton of the result and the issuing of
the certificates. But when the matter
came to be argued in the light of the
law the Tribune said first:
THE law of the Territory makes it
a clear case that the Commissioners
have no possible right to open the bal
! lot-bOXeS unless there is some author
( ity in the Enabling Act.-Dec. IA, 1891.
I That was an absurdity to begin with.
/ because the Enabling Act is not an
election code. 1t simply provides on
/ this matter that the Commission shall
! proceed the same as at the election for
members of the Legislative Assembly
A little later. however, the Tribune
jumped to another position Here is
its language less than a week after
wards:
The only body that by law had any
authority to open the ballot boxes this
year was the canvassing board which
/ completed its labors and cea, sed to ex-
! ist last week.
THE only board that ever had any
authority to open these ballot boxes
was the board of canyassers and their
work being finished, and they as a
board having ceased to exist, there
| having been no contest on their count
the votes in the boxes are the same as
though they were bprned.-Dec. 90
1894

Our wise contemporary down the

The United States will sustain the val
idity Of the sugar bounty on the
ground that Congress in its sphere is
supreme. This sort of Constitutional
law resembles that enunciated by
anooher Republican member-eiect of
the Constitutional Convention, who is
alleged to have asked our legislature
TO put tariff on all beer imported
into Utah.

THE POWERS OF THE COMBUSTION.

The question Of the powers of the
Utah Commission in canvassing the re-
turns of election for delegates TO the
Constitutional Convention will, by spec
ial arrangement be considered by the
Supreme Court in advance Of its regu-
lar order, because Of the Importance Of
the case and the necessity for a speedy
decision in view of the short time that
will elapse before the convention should
meet.
That the Utah Commission are re-
quired to canvass those returns is IN
disputed. But it has been the prac-
tice Of that body from the beginning
of its organization. to combine the du-
ties of the county and territorial can
vassing boards in relation to elections
for members of the Legislative Assem-
bly,, and the Enabling Act requires the
same proceedings in canvassing returns
for delegates to the convention as for
members of the legislature.
The present Commission, followed
exactly the rule established by the
former boards in this respect. But this
I
the returns in certain precincts and re-
count the ballots. If the Commission
are authorized by the Edmunds Act to
perform the duties of both the boards we
have mentioned. then their right and
power to canvass the votes if neces-
sary is indisputable If the Commits
sion are only empowered by the Ed
mundS Act to take the place of the
territorial board. they should appoint
proper persons to act in the place of
the county boards, and those persons
would have the right to recount the
ballots.
Judge Bartch took the ground, in his
decision, that the Commission could not
perform the duties of the county can
wasting boards themselves, but must
appoint persons to make that
canvass The Commission had all
ways appointed persons to take
the place Of tine county boards
in reference to county and pre-
cinct officers, but had understood the
Edmunds Act to devolve the whole
duty of the canvass for members of
the legislature upon the Utah Commits
sion. The Supreme Court will have to
decide what the law means in this re-
spect, and will doubtless consider the
twelve years practice Of the Commits
sion as a precedent.

A tiny speck upon the scene where lights
and shadows meet,
A merest atom on a field where joys and
sorroWS fleet;
A simple nothing in the whirl of strug-
ling, seething life,
With it's greatest, best endcavor a mere
zero in the strife.
A brief and tried existence, feeble at it's
greatest height;
A fielee-ing star whose meager beam is
quickly lost in night;
thing whose life and being hangs on a
hair-like thread,
Suspended from a vast unknown where
sleep unnumhered dead;
With mystery for beginning and oblivion
at the end.
AS myriad worlds of atoms ever on and
upward trend.

A WONDERFUL WORK,
Something Of the Utmost In
teraSt.
A Matter Which Deeply Concerns
Everybody.
1t Means Less Expense
and More Money.
Il Is Just What All Persons Are
Looking For.
Probably the G reateSt Dis
dOYery of the Age.

The greatest and most wonderful enter
prises in the world are those which have
the strongest and most powerful intellects
back OF them, which result from years oil
study by thinking men, and which are built
upon a foundation so sure and firm that nc
possible emergency can weaken them. This
is exactly the case with the subject in cues
ton. II has astonished the most learned
men everywhere, ana the greatest intel
lects Of the age acknowledge its genuine
worth and marvellous superiority. And
what makes it still more valuable is the
fact that it is something large portion OF
the people need.
No other discovery in the world has
proved so useful, has oeeu the means Of so
much saving, and has so completely Won
the hearts Of the people as DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It's ir-
resisti0le power 10 cure has astonished the
greatest physicians in the world. One
great reason why this wonderful remedy
has taken the highest place among all the
medicines Of the world, why people prefer
il 20 all others, and have more confidence
in il than any other, is the fact that DR..
Greene, himself, personally assumes the
entire responsibility of his medicine.
There are many remedies OF uncertain
value with no one 70 vOuch for them, no
physician standing behind them with
whom persons can consult in case the med
icines fail 10 produce the desired effect. But
here is one which is the discovery aud pre-
scripuOn of the best-knOwn and most sue
cesStUl specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, DR.. Greene, OF 30 West
18th St, New YORK City, who is in active
practice, and stands ready at all times TO
answer any and all questions regarding
his remedy and It's effects. And right here
is another great advantage. DR.. Greene
actually requests all persons taking his
wonderful remedy to consider themselves
under his direct personal care aud treat
ment, and to consult him. free Of charge,
personally or by letter. He will carefully
answer al letters, giving his advice and
all necessary information.
The great and worldwide reputation OF
Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medl'
cine will cure, aud the fact that he eau be
consulted by anyone, at anv time, free OF
charge, gives absolute assurance OF the
sure ana benehcial action OF his valuable
remedy. No other medicine in the world
offers so many or such stroug inducements,
and no other can give such certain aud
powerful assurance Of curing disease.
These facts give everybody the utmost con.
fidence in Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. Use il. IL will make You
strong and well
