HAsTY LEGISLATION.

Governor Wells has found it neces-
sary to veto bill passed by the legls-
Iature. but he writes a veto message
like one born for Just such things. The
bill vetoed was known as the fee bill
and was enacted to carry out certain
provisions of the state constitution.
The intention was good, but, like so
many good intentions in this world, 1t
was badly carried out.
In his veto message the governor
points out wherein the bill was de-
fective It provided that moneys col
lected as fees should be covered into
the proper treasury. The governor
says that, in his opinion, this provision
is too indefinite, and that the law
should prescribe with certainty the
proper treasury. He is right in the po-
sition he takes and the legislature will
do wisely to heed his objections.
What was the trouble with the bill
in the first place? The trouble was
that it was hastily prepared and as
hastily passed. 1t is the common fault
of the legislation in congress and all
the state legislatures. The result is
that ponderous laws cucumber the stat
ute book while courts are left to find
out what they mean as best they can.
Legislators seem to feel that they
should do something else their constit-
uents will charge them with incapac-
ity. Having this feeling, they seize
upon the first subject that presents it
self and frame a law for its regula-
ton. Then it is so easy to produce a
vast amount of indifferently and badly
drawn laws while it is so difficult to
find out what, if any, laws are needed
and put them in form that leaves
no doubt as to their meaning and that
will accomplish the object sought. The
state will be infinitely better off with
out new legislation than with a super
abundance of bad legislation. Over
legislation is an evil form which the
whole country suffers, and the tenden-
cy is to increase the evil.
Our transition from a territory to a
state absolutely requires some legisla-
ton, but let this legislation be wise and
we'll considered; and let every law en-
acted be clear from all obscurity and
ambiguity.

CARLISLE a CANDIDATE.

The Cincinnati Tribune says there
seems to be no doubt that Secretary
]. G. Carlisle is an avowed candidate
for the nomination for president, and
that in some quarters it is believed he
has been selected to perpetuate the
Cleveland dynasty. 1t is also stated
that Ex-Governor West, of Utah. made
no conceaIment of his position. and he
plainly said he was for Carlisle for
president
There was time, when he was in the
senate, that Secretary Carlisles candi-
dacy for the presidential nomination
would have met with very great favor
with the Democracy, but that time
has gone forever. He was a bigger
man as senator than he has been as
secretary Of the treasury. AT one tirne
he was regarded as an authority upon
finance but he is no longer SO re-
garded. 1t is the general opinion, held
by Democrats and Republicans alike.
that Mr.. Cleveland has dictated the
policy of the treasury and that Mr..
Carlisle has been merely his chief
clerk. He campaigned Kentucky in

who hold and deal in currency, and the
holders of currency and of property
are not so happily mingled as when
Mr.. Calhoun delivered his speech fe-
licitating the country on that circum-
stance. Furthermore, the reconmenda-
lions of the gold standard advocates,
if adopted, would tend to make more
distinct the class that hold and ma
nipulate the currency and the people
who hold property; but the final re-
suit would be that the class that starts
out with the currency and the manipu-
lation of it, would hold both currency
and property.
Another thing which is different now
than it was when Mr.. Calhoun deliv-
cred his speech. He sets the ratio be-
tween the currency and the property
as one to thirty 1t is much more than
that now; and therefore the advantage
to the class into whose hands it is
proposed to give the control of the
DEMONSTRATING the power to ex-
pand or contract it's all the greater,
as also is the mischief that would be
done to the people by farming out the
management of the currency to one
class of our citizens.
If there is one thing more than an
other that the people should insist
upon it is that the power to issue cur
rency be reserved as a function be-
longing solely to government; and side
by side with that they should demand
the recOgnitiOO Of silver q 6 VOL &c GOLD
as money metal, and thus place I'M
der our currency a basis broad enough
to sustain it.

RESTORATION OF CHURCH PROP
ERTY.

Representative Allen is to be con-
graduated upon the promptness with
which he has introduced a resolution
providing for the restoration of certain
property to the dominant church in
Utah, including all real estate now in
the hands of the receiver and all
profits arising therefrom. This prop
erty was seized by the government
some years ago when the said church
practiced plural marriage in violation
Of United States law; and the seizure
of the property in question was justi-
fled on the ground, first, that it was
held in violation of the law limiting
the amount of property a church could
require; and, second, that the proceeds
thereof were being applied to unlawful
purposes. AS a matter of fact, how
ever, very much of the property was
acquired by the church before the law
limiting the amount of property
church could hold was passed. But
now that the unlawful practice re-
specting plural marriages has been
discontinued and there is no further
likelihood of using the proceeds from
the property for unlawful purposes,
there can scarcely be a doubt but what
congress will do what is just by re-
storing all the Mormon church prop
erty to the trustee in trust for that or
SANITATION.

THE BASIS OF SETTLEMENT.

The representatives of the British
press are beginning to talk of meeting
the Venezuelan difficultay half way.
The London Times Washington CORES
pendent in a communication to his
paper in reference to the spirit prevail
ing at our national capital says:
"The hour of compromise and con-
Citation and frank concession on IN
! important points of detail or diplo-
matte etiquette has struck here.
There is every disposition to meet
everything half way. VIII she Great
Britain) refuse to come the other
half?" Commenting on the remarks of
its Washington correspondent the
Times says: 1T is no secret that
Lord Salisbury is quite prepared to
consider favorably any fair and frank
suggestion" 1t should be remembered
by our British friends that from the
first the request of the United States
that the Venezuelan boundary DISPUTE
be submitted to arbitration was "a
fair and frank suggestion;;" but the
laundering assertion of British i'm
peyious stubbornness which thinks it
can dominate all creation set that
fair and frank suggestion aside.
Now that Lord Salisbury has been
rudely awakened from his dreams,
and discovers that the United States is
not to be trifed with or snubbed by his
lordship, like some fifth rate power,
his organ talks about it being mo
secret that Lord Salisbury is quite pre-
pared to consider favorably any fair
and frank suggestion Very good,
then there is the proposition made by
the United States in the first instance,
submit to arbitration the Venezuelan
boundary dispute. The British govern
ment could have done that with good
grace in the first place, and would have
done honor to herself by asking the
president of the United States to have
been the umpire in the case. That
Britain. The trifing matter that
Venezuela has upon her statute book
an act which forbids the reopening of
negotiations with Great Britain
amounts to nothing; if Great Britain
signifies her willingness to submit the
question in dispute to arbitration, that
obstacle would soon disappear The
law would be repealed. There can be
no question but what in the United
States as in England there is an earn
est desire t6 see this menace to the
cordial relations between the two
countries removed, but the only way
to remove it is for Lord Salisbury to
accept the reasonable suggestion made
by the United States and submit the
question of the Venezuela boundary
line to arbitration.

SENATOR Arthur Brown.

Senator-elect Arthur Brown, of Utah,
is neither so young nor so unimport-
ant as he may have appeared in the
published reflection Of his countenance
On the contrary, he is one of the most
widely experienced and keenest lawyers
at the bar in Utah. He owes his nom
ination over his more distinguished
competitor, Judge c, c. Goodwin. to
the cunningness of a campaign which
few were foresighted enough to take
seriously, and yet which had the pro-
phecy of victory in it from the start.
Mr.. Brown belongs to the class Of
lawyers known as bulldogs" He fights
with their tenacity and snaps with
their readiness and power. A long rec
ord of successful battles in the courts
Of Salt Lake city has made him a
man who is feared in his own commu-
nifty.
In mannerisms he has had his choice.
and is said to have chosen some of
the worst. among which are indiffer-
ence of personal appearance and a
careless disrespect of persons. But he
is vigorous friend of silver a hardy
Republican and tireless and invinci-
Bile fighter. He goes to congress with
a purpose and is of the class of men
who are apt to return with his pur-
pose accomplished Times.

favor of Sound money and so sue
the governor, and it now looks as
though they might elect a United
States senator. Such record will not
appeal to a Democratic convention, it
will rather have the effect to injure
what might otherwise be a fair chance
of securing the nomination. Mr.. Car
Isle is a man of very superior intel
lectual endowments, but he lacks in
that strength of character so essential
in a great party leader. 1t is for this
reason that he has been so thoroughly
dominated by the president.
In Utah, and we believe throughout
the entire west he would not be a
strong candidate. 1t is very doubtful
if he could get a single delegation from
any state or territory west of the Mis-
souri, That Governor West should be
for him is most natural, for it was to
him that the governor owed his politl-
cal advancement in Utah. But Gov
ernor Vests influence with the Demo-
cratic party of Utah is not strong to-
day, and if he were to return to the
state tomorrow and begin to work for
a Carlisle delegation we do not be-
lieve he would succeed in getting
single delegate
If Secretary CarIisIe's name is pre-
scented at Chicago it will very likely
receive a respectable support, but
that he will ever be the nominee of the
Democratic party for president we do
not believe. But his candidacy can do
no harm.

High Prices For Wool

The sale of thirty thousand pounds
of Washington county wool at Clays-
vile to Wheeling house on eastern
account for twenty cents a pound, is a
notable event in the wool markets the
past week. Independent of the fact
that it is direct advance of seven
cents a pound over rates that prevail
ed in the last year of the Mckinley
law, the figures show the progress and
activity in wool manufacturing and the
benefits accruing to the fiock-masters
under the Wilson tariff schedule-PhiI-
adelphia Times.

BY THE EDITORS.
A NATIONAL silver Party.

The movement in favor of a national
silver party has received a new I'M
petus and the various factions which
have favored such an organization are
talking seriously of getting together
for the purpose of solidifying and uni
flying the forces. 1t is to be hoped that
no definite action will be taken until
after the national conventions of the
two great parties have been held. To
check the movement in favor of free
coinage which is now making such en-
couraging progress within the ranks of
the Democratic party would be a great
injustice to the cause.-Butte Miner.

Alaskan Gold Fields.

1t is a genuine pleasure to announce
that the Alaskan gold fields are within
the limits of the United States. 1t is
better for the United States and better
for the gold fields. In no other country
can gold fields be worked with greater
neatness or more dispatch. In putting
gold fields in the United States, the
Creator undoubtedly placed them where
they would do the most good. When
Russia was the owner she did little or
nothing with the Alaskan gold fields;
British ownership would have been a
calamity. We now have the right owner
in the right place.-Kansas City Star.
