BIENNIAL LEGISLATURES.

There are many wise provisions in
Utahs constitution, but among the
wisest is that which says the Legisla-
ture shall meet every two years, and
the sessions be limited to sixty days
Annual sessions give too great an OPP
portunity for experiments in legisla-
ton without allowing time in which to
test their worth. No matter how good
and desirable law may be if it is not
given time in which to show what the
effects of it's workings will be. it will
generally prove irksome to the people
and its repeal be demanded 1t is given
a much better chance to show its efici-
ency when it cannot be repealed or
amended in less than two years. An
nual legislative sessions of long dura-
ton may become an annual menace to
business stability; this danger is les
sened one half when the legislature
meets but once in two years. The
sixty days allowed by the state consti-
tuition is ample in which to accomplish
all the law making the people need.

on the part of legislators as soon as
the legislature meets and organizes.
still giving them ample time in which
to perform their duties
If there were less legislation both by
Congress and state legislatures. it would
be better for the country. The tend
ency is to legislate on every conceivable
subject, while if doubts arise as to the
validity of such legislation, the prac-
tice is to pass it and allow the courts to
decide the question. This superabund
ance of legislation necessarily causes
much of it to be hasty and ill consid-
cred, with more or less disastrous con-
sequence to the people. If our Utah
legislators will occupy their time
While the legislature sits in framing
and passing good laws, they have suf-
ficient, while if they spend their time

ENe1AND,s SEA OF TROUBLES.

England appears to be in a sea of
troubles. 1t is but a short time since
Mr.. Cleveland launched his Venezuelan
message, q message that startled Eng
land as she has rarely been startled
AS the first excitement over that mes
sage was dying away there came an
other message to startle England still
more, if that could be. This latter is
from Emperor William to President
Kruger, Of the Transvaai republic,
and Is In these words:
II express my sincece congratula-
tons that with your people, and with
out appealing to the help OF friendly
powers, you have succeeded by your
own energetic action against the
armed bands which invaded your
country as disturbers of the peace,
and have thus been enabled to restore
peace and a safeguard in defense of
the country against attacks from the
outside"
The congratulation of President
Kruger was the condemnation OF DR..
Jameson and his English followers.
More than that, it was a direct slap at
Lord Salisbury. It was a great breach
of diplomatic usage, for which Will
liam is such a stickler, and it is almost
safe to say that had England been
guilty of the discourtesy towards
Germany the Emperor would have

President Cleveland announced that all
the conditions incident to admission had
been complied with, and he proclaimed the
state. Tomorrow. with the usual fornali-
ties, the people of Utah VIII celebrate the
honor that has come to them and get

tween the people of Utah and the citizens
of Montana are intimate-we look upon
the residents of Utah as our next-door
neighbors, and the congrat ulations that
Montana sends are especially hearty.
May good luck attend the new state.
Utah served long apprenticeship; the
territory was organized in 1850 1t &C.
cnnied a conspicuous place on the maps
of forty years ago; Wyoming was carved
out as a territory in 1865, Colorado in
part in 1861, and Nevada in the same
year. These children of the territory
achieved statehood ahead of Utah for
reasons with which everybody is familiar

jsENsELEss FEARS.

In this strange world of ours there
are good, honest people who believe
that journeys undertaken on Friday
can end in naught but disaster; that to
hear dog bay the moon portends the
death Of a relative or dear friend: and
there are some who fear that polyga-
my may be restored in Utah. Idle
eenseless fears are these. The trumpet
shall sound and the dead be raised long
ere polygamy is restored in Utah. The
people do not desire it, conditions
would not permit of it, Like every
growing, progressive commonwealth,
Utah will have to meet and solve many
and difficult problems, but polygamy is
not one Of these. Utah win be true
to herself, and being true to herself it
must follow that she cannot be false
to the Union. Her past is past never
more to return, and when the day to
test her loyalty and patriotism shall
come, it will be found that the faith
that was reposed in her has been justi-
fed.
On the question OF senseless fears by
good people regarding the new state.
the Washington Post has these very
seasonable and sensible remarks:
OF all the senseless, unreasoning,
trouble-borroWing that is affiicting
kind souls in the eastern and middle
parts Of our country today, none is
more gratuitous than the fear that
Utah will avail herself of the advantag-
IS of statehood to plunge into polyga-
my; that the new state, having reached
the goal to which the territory has 50
long aspired. having been admitted to
the Union through sea of troubles,
and possessing every requisite for a
great career, will turn her back to the
the future and set her face toward the
civilization of the Turks.
