THE CENTRE OF INTEREST.


The convention of the Democratic
Societies of Utah, which viii assemble
on Saturday, at 10 a. m, in the
Theatre, is the centre of attraction
for the Democrats of this city and
territory. Delegates from every part
of Utah are expected to be present,
as the railroads have made special
rates for transportation and the occa-
sion is one of the deepest interest to
all the members of the party, whether
they are attached to the societies or
not. officers will have to be elected
for the ensuing term and arrangements
made for the active work of the cam
paign of 1895. That is expected to be
a lively contest. Prominent ladies will
take part in the proceedings of the
convention which will give it an added
charm and increased interest. The del
egates, of both sexes, will occupy the
floor and platform and the public will
be admitted free to the other parts of
the building. A very large gathering
is expected, and we recommend our
Democratic friends to fill the Theatre
and thus manifest their interest in the
welfare of the party to which Utah
will owe her redemption from political
bondage.

THE "TORRENs, LAW.

The scheme for simplifying trans
fers of real estate. now known as the
Torrens law, which has been in opera
ton for some time in Australia, has
become law in the State of Illinois.
1t is, however, not made compulsory.
It is only operative when adopted by
a majority of the voters of a county,
and does not go into complete effect
for five years, that time being allowed
for the recording of adverse claims.
The purpose of the law is to do away
with complications in regard to titles to
real estate. 1t abolishes abstracts and
disputes over defective transfers and
conflicting claims. 1t will not be popu-
lar with a certain class of lawyers.
as it does away with the necessity of
examination of title by attorneys or
other experts in land affairs.
In brief, the principle of this mea-
sure is that when the registrar, who IS
the officer appointed to attend to this
business, finds after thorough ex-
animation and hearing adverse claims
that the title to a piece of property
vests in a certain individual, the regis
trar issues certificate of title which

ELECTRIC RAILROADS.

There have been number of expert
ments in the use of electricity as a
motive power on short lines of rail-
roads. 1t has not, however, been
adopted for long distances or heavy
trains. We all know that it works
very well on trolley lines for street
railroads, but its use in regular rail-
way traffic has not yet been demon
strated as successful.
An electric railroad has recently
been opened in Massa chusetts, run
mig form Old Colony House to Penn
berton, near the city of Boston. 1t is
reported a complete success. 1t is
stated that the machinery was geared
up and regulated so that a speed of
eighty miles an hour was attained.
What the length of the train was does
not yet appear. So far as we can
learn, electricity has not been applied
in the hauling of heavy trains.
A new venture in this direction has
been made in Missouri. In few days
trains will run between Kansas City
and Independence, a distance of nine
miles. This, it is supposed, will be the
longest electric railway service in the
country. We presume it will be only
for passenger traffic
Until further knowledge is acquired
in relation to the utilization of electric
energy, the old style locomotive with
its smoke, and cinders, and noise will
continue, but we believe that the time
will come when both the steam locomo-
tive and the trolley wire will be abol-
ished, and either by the storage sys-
tenn or some other method of applying
electric force, the land traffic of the
world, and then the ocean transporta-
tfon of the nations, will be effected by
means of that subtle fluid which goes
by the name of electricity.

THE KANSAS FEMALE CYCLONE.

Kansas City papers record with
triumph the defeat of Mrs. Mary E.
Lease who met her Waterloo" to use
one of their phrases, in the Supreme
court of Kansas on the 9Th inst. in the
fight she has waged for the position
of member of the State Board of Chart
ties The court decided that the de-
PENDANT, George A. Clark, was the legal
incumbent of the position.
Mrs. Lease was appointed a mem
Der of that board by Governor Level
ling, the PopuHst executive of Kansas
But the lady and the governor fell out,
had very high words and Mrs. Lease
was not at all mealy-mouthed in her
accusations of his meanness. He re-
sponded by issuing an order for her
removal But she refused to retire,
held on to her office, and on appeal to
the courts won her case.
After Mrs. Lease had served her term
of two years. Governor Morrill,, Level
ing's successor, appointed George A.
Clark to fill her place. She claimed
that her appointment was for term
of three years. This time, however, on
taking her case again into court the
decision was against her. The
Supreme court ruled that the plaintiff
was appointed for an unexpired in
stead of a full term, and that the de-
PENDANT, George a. Clark, was duly
and legally appointed as her successor.
1t was supposed a short time ago
that Mrs. Lease had left the State of
Kansas and taken up ller abode in
California. and comments were numer-
Gus and humorous concerning the re-
ception which would be accorded her
by the people among whom her lot was
to be cast anew. 1t appears, however,
that that was a mistake
Mrs. Lease seems to be rsaking
things warm in the state where she
has gained her notoriety but she is
likely to cool off considerably since
meeting with this reverse The lady
is no doubt a very bright and capable
woman, but in consequence of her ex-
IRENE vitality. if not extreme opinions,
she has rendered herself obnoxious to
many of the people of Kansas and
gained a fame not altogether enviable
in other parts of the country. Her
official career may be regarded as
closed.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-07-12

is conclusive. The certificate is proof
of title subject only to legal incum-
brances which appear against it. 1t
is the end of controversy.
All that is necessary when a trans.
fer is to be made is to file the deed
with the registrar, who, thereupon.
issues a new certificate of title to the
grantee. There are a number of de-
tails in the bill covering provisions
necessary under different circum-
stances, but title to real estate is,
after receiving a certificate, indisputa-
bly, in the owner of that certificate
subject only to such legal claims
which may be of record in the regis
trars office and which are noted on
that certificate.
The system has worked so advant-
agously in places where it has been
in operation for several years, that it
is strange it has not been adopted
more extensively in the United States.
When the legislators for the new
State of Utah are elected. it would be
worth their while to investigate this
system so that if found to be bene-
fetal in Illinois it may be made part
of the statutory law of the new COM
monwealth. We believe it could be
adopted in Utah with very great bene-
fit to all parties concerned.

the same final vote. the Tribune said

the same final vote. the Tribune said
editorially:
"Of some 500 delegates there were
but two negative votes against en-
dorsing the financial plank in the
Democratic platform of 1892"
Then it was "but two negative
votes" now it is .'twenty-two;" and
both are wilful falsehoods. the proof
of which is in the Tribune as well as
the other daily papers of this city.
Here is the report of the vote pub
lished in them all:
Although previous votes showed
that the majority report was over
whelmingly adopted, still the silver
men demanded the call of counties,
which proceeded until after p. m.
The vote was announced CAT 1910 ayes;
2S3 1910 nays, and was received with
great applause"
After publishing that there were 29S
1910 votes in the negative on that ques-
ton, and being shown its error in say
ing there were but two votes, it now
says there were only %, when it knows
it is stating positive and glazing un-
truth. And for exposing its mendacity
it turns round, like the unprincipled
and foul-mouthed thing it has always
been, and calls The Herald "a chronic
and original liar
There is no need for our specifying
what the paper is that tells such false
hoods and uses such language; the
facts and the figures are enough of
themselves.

OUR BIG BALANCE.

The thirty-seventh annual report of
the chamber of commerce of New York
city for 1S94-5 is just out and gives us the
aggregate of exports for this country for
the year ending with the 31st of Deem
Der, 1894.
The total imports for the year were, in
round numbers and exclusive of coin
and bullion, s676, 100000. OF this amount
$685.. 000, 900 were free goods. The imports
fell off to the extent of s1OO, 900, 900 under
1893. The domestic productions exported
reached the sum of $780,. 000 and the
total for the year of all kinds was $685.
100000 for 1S94-a decrease of. $50, 900 I'M
der 1898.
The net imports were not only $780,
100000 less, therefore, in 1894 than in 1898,
but the balance of trade in our favor
amounted. to S149, 900, 000 Think of that
nearly $780, 600, 900 balance of trade in our
favor This means that $50, 000, 900 more
money per annum is coming this way
than going out--a tremendous item even
when it comes to settling our interest
account on American securities held
abroad.-Houston Post.

WHY CLEVELAND DOES NOT ACT.


Some of our extreme Republicans
find a good deal of fault with Grover
Cleveland for not appointing delegates
and calling a silver conference of Eu-
ropean nations with the United States
to settle the question of bimetallic cur
rency. They do not seem to under
stand that the President was not au-
thorized by Congress to issue a call
for a silver conference nor act in refer
ence to 1t until such conference is
called by the European nations.
Seeing that Congress has prescribed
what the President shall do, he is
bound by the terms of that act. 1t au-
thorizes him whenever a convention is
called with a view to secure interna-
tionalIy a fixity of relative value be-
tween gold and silver as money by
means of a common ratio between
those metals, with free mintage at such
ratio, 20 appoint delegates"
In appointing some of those dele
gates from the House and from the
Senate, Congress took steps to meet
the situation in case a conference OF
the European governments on this
question should be called before an
other Congress should convene. In
that case the President was to appoint
other delegates to act with them.
We do not claim that Grover Cleve-
land is anxious for the calling of such
conference, yet he has proclaimed
himself a bimetallist of the interna-
tional sort. He is directly opposed to
the free coinage of silver by the Uni
ted States independent of the action
of the commercial nations, but pro-
fesses to stand by the doctrine of in
ternational bimetallism as proclaimed
by both the great political parties in
1892 The Herald does not agree with
the views entertained by the President
on the financial question, but it does
not wish to misrepresent him on that
account.
We have no doubt that if a confer
ence of that kind is mentioned in the
act of Congress providing for the ap-
pointment of delegates should be
called, the President would proceed at
once to comply with the provisions of
the law. Until such an event occurs
he would not be justified in appointing
the delegates, and though he may, by
virtue of his office, have authority to
make call for such a conference,
Congress having legislated on the mat
ter he would be transcending that au-
thority by now taking the matter into
his own hands. Criticize Cleveland
when he deserves it. but do not charge
him with something of which he is
not guilty.

WHAT FOSTER THINKS oFLIHUNG

Having been close to Lii Hung Chang

the fact that he had never been outside
