a COURT ron Each COUNTY.

In framing the article on the judi
ciary of the State of Utah, it would
be well for the peoples delegates to
look over the system established in
early days in this territory.
The organic act provides that "the
judicial power Of said territory shall
be vested in a Supreme Court. District
Courts, Probate Courts and in Justices
Of the Peace" Under that authority
the Probate Courts we're endowed
with civil and criminal Jurisdiction ap-
peals being allowed to the District
Courts. The Justices Of the Peace were
clothed with similar power to lin.
tied extent. appeals being permitted to
the Probate Courts.
While in those early times some Of
the Probate Judges may not have been
very learned in the law. as a rule they
were advanced enough to be able. with
the aid Of good common sense. to deal
out justice in a usually satisfactory
manner. They were perhaps allowed a
too extensive Jurisdiction. We would
not advocate the exercise Of unlimited
jurisdiction by the Probate Courts. or
permit persons other than those who
are duly qualified to sit on the bench.
But we believe that limited civil and
criminal jurisdiction to the Probate
Judges would give a court to each
county, which would render unneces-
sary large number of District Courts
and would relieve them of the load Of
business which presses upon them I'M
der the present system.
1t would be well for this matter to
be duly considered. With competent
men for the office, the Probate or
County Court with the powers men
toned, would form a feature in our
judicial system that we believe would
aid greatly in its usefulness and eff
cheney and would tend also to its econ

A SINGULAR CONTRAST.


There Is movement in progress In

experiment and for only certain kinds
of offences. It is perhaps true that
the penalties for wife-beating and
other crimes of violence are not suffl-
GENTLY severe. Does it follow that

There IS something revolving in the
idea of resorting TO such brutality by
the state. To try co overcome violence

methods ought to be tried before step

march OF progress. In the land OF
liberty and enlightenment. flogging is
proposed as a penal measure; in the
land of serfdom and despotism it is

Sentiment perhaps should not have
much influence upon penal statutes.
But there ought to be very careful in

And surely the abolition OF it in semi

against it that ought to have weight.

The Anaconda, Montana, Standard
gives a condensed account of a recent
libel suit against the New York Trib-
une, based upon the publication of
some of the side issues in a legal pro-
ceeding, resulted in verdict for the
plaintiff for six cents. The amount
sued for was several thousand dollars.
At the trial it was brought out that
the paper acted in perfect good faith
in the first place in publishing the OBJ
jectionable item. It seems the plaintiff
thought there was a, chance to worry
the Tribune, however, and the posi-
bility of a compromise doomed up as
the practical feature of the case. The
Tribune, conscious of the reclltude of
its motives in the premises, refused to
compromise, and after worrying the
plaintiff for a goodly time in return, en-
joyed virtual victory If it had not
been a woman on the other side even
nominal damages would not have been
allowed
Commenting on this the Standard
makes these sensible remarks:
Newspapers have been standing in
their own light too long by compro-
missing all the far-fetched and ridicu-
louS suits brought against them.
Nine-tenths of such actions are
grounded on neither reason. law nor
Justice and are purely speculative.
The press is DESTROYS only of a libel
law that will protect against such
speculative schemes and hold it guilt
less of punitive damages in the alb
