Governor Griggs Of New Jersey to tht
legislature of that state:

Governor Griggs Of New Jersey to the
legislature of that state:
No law should be passed unless there
IS some public necessity demanding It.
The fact that proposed law is, as is
often said, unobjectionable in itself, is
no reason for its enactment. There
should be positive reasons for law max
ing, not negative ones Settled rules
should not be easily disturbed. 1t is
not enough to say of a bill that it does
no harm; it should be one comforting
positive benefits and demanded by pub
lie necessity or convenience, to entitle
it to the solemn sanction of the legis-
lature and the governor. Every bill
should be carefully considered in COM
mittee before submission to the proper
house for passage. Its verbSage should
be tested to see if it is accurate and
expresses only what it is intended to
effect. It should be compared with
the existing law on the same subject,
to ascertain if it harmonizes or is in
consistent Herewith. 1t would save
much trouble and confusion if, where
there are several amendments proposed
to the same law, they should be con-
solidated into one act And let it be
remembered that i'm the discharge OF
the duty of a legislator there can be
no consideration for such things as
courtesy to a fellow member or to the
introducer of a bill, when the rights of
the people of the state are to be af-
fected.
Filter words on the subject than
these cannot be spoken, and especially
to the legislature of state just start
ing in its career. Don't burden US with
too much legislation. Remember that
government is best which governs
least.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-01-29
EXCESSIVE LEGISLATION.

we call the attention of the state
legislature to the fact that in MANY Of
thu old states there is very general
ard very just complaint being made
against excessive legislation. Mainly
with view to cutting down the
amount of legislation the constitutions
Of number of the old states have
been so amended as to prohibit special
legislation; and all the recent consti-
buttons, including our own, have a long
list of inhibitions against special leg
islative enactment. The tendency of
our times is in the direction of excess
sive legislation. Too much rather than
too little is the evil from which we
suffer. Our statute books become so
crowded with legislation that their very
bulk and number become ap-
palling as well to the profess
sion as TO the laymen. Indeed.
the latter have very generally given I'D
the hope of ever knowing what the law
is. We know that much of this against
which we in common with everybody
else complain, is unavoidable. The
complexity of our modern life with it's
ever increasing new relations, necessar-
ily forces upon US a greater amount of
legislative eractmeuts than would
be necessary where the relations
of life are more simple. But
it is for the very reason that
there are so many excuses for
increasing the amount of legislation
that we would invoke caution on the
part of our legislators, that the evil
may be kept at a minimum.
We would also suggest that Utah is
a new state, we are just at the COM
mencement Of our career as a com
monwealth. and it will be a happy cir
cumstance for US if our legislators only
enact such laws as are absolutely
necessary. Not how many eaactments
can we pass in the session, but how
few and at the same time cover all
necessary subjects should be the ex-
cellence striven for. Quality, not GUAM
tity, is what the people want. Com
pactness, not diffusion, should be
sought for in legislation.
Apropos this we commend TO our
law makers the recent utteraness Of

NO COMPROMISE.

ITO go out of the party in order to
work for honest money such honest
money as the constitution contemplates
and the founders of the Democratic
party believed in, would be the heighth
Of folly says the Cleveland Plean-
Dealer. ut would not only weaken the
cause Of true Democracy, but the cause
Of bimetallism. That is true, and the
rational conclusion therefore is that no
Democrat ought to think of leaving
his party to join the Populists or sill
yer party. Stay with Democracy and
help bring that party to the point
where it will reaffirm the faith Of the
fathers ON the subject of finance.
By the way, it is to be observed that
our dispatches from Washington yes
terday spoke of Senator German advis-
ing compromise measure ON the
money question. He would favor-if
the dispatches represent him fairly-a
bill providing for the retirement of
greenbacks by issuing bonds, and then
give free coinage of silver 1t is said
that the suggestion of Mr.. German is a
surprise to his friends, as he is known
to be an anti-silver man. His recon-
mendation is supposed to indicate that
he wants to go before the Democratic
national convention as a compromise
candidate for president" There is 4an
old proverb that says-'twhen the
Greeks come bearing gifts, beware"
So when single gold standard senator
comes talking compromise on the ques-
ton Of finance, bewarei AS the devil
generally beats Christians at barter.
SO up to date have goldites beaten the
friends of silver at compromise. Let
us have no compromise candidates. and
least Of all such compromise candi-
date as German would be. The Demo
Gratis had taste of his compromise ON
the tariff measure of last congress, and
may the powers that preside over COM
promise deliver US from any more
of it.
No. let not Democrats go out of the
party to work for free silver, let US
work for it inside party lines, until
the Democratic party and the country
with 1T is converted to the rightfulness
of constitutional money.

people in Salt Lake county rose above
party considerations in the last cleo
ton and voted for the fittest men, and
in doing so voted for men named by
the party in the minority in this
county.
In connection with the remember
ance of this fact we ought to say that
we hear that some of the defeated
candidates in that election are being
urged by their friends for appointment
to the position which they failed to be
elected to by the people. We hope this
is not so; and we hope the runor is un-
true as much for the sake of the men
themselves as for the sake of the state.
Their friends ought to know that these
men cannot afford to so far forget
their self-respect as to accept an ap-
pointment to an Office to which they
could not be elected by the people
when they were duly nominated by
their party and that party elected by a
strong majority both the full state and
county ticket save only themselves. A
proud spirited man would not accept
an office by appointment of the gov
ernor when he had been rejected under
such circumstances by the people.
There would be no vindication in it.
There would be no honor in it. 1t
cannot be that the gentlemen in ques-
ton are seeking the appointment.
We hope the governor will be able,
as we think he will be, to find a man
learned in the law and of such stand
ing in the profession as to command
the respect of the bar, and with suf-
hcient patriotism to accept the ap-
pointment. We need above all things
else learned, broad-minded and up
right judges.

THE JUDGsHIP.

In consequence of the resignation of
Judge Howat Governor Wells will

ing of numerous applicants. some of

Sorghum Sugar Industry.

The sorghum sugar industry, which
seemed to promise so well at one time,
is declining, on account of the loss of the
government bounty. That is to say, the
cost of manufacturing exceeds the sell
ing price, and the experiments made al
an expense of over $4,000 hav failed to
develop any method of overcoming this
difficulty. Perhaps in the course of time
a cheaper process will be discovered, but
at present the outlook is not at all en-
courag ing.-St. Louis Globe-Denocrat.
