APPOINTING SENATORS.

Governor Bradley, of Kentucky, has
appointed a successor to Senator Joe
Blackburn. and Governor Bloxam, OF
Florida, has appointed a successor to
Senator Call. These appointments are
made because the legislatures in these
two states failed to elect senators. and
not to fill vacancies caused by resig-
nation or death. Four years ago a
case exactly like these occurred in
Wyoming. The legislature failed TO
elect a senator, and Governor Osborne
appointed Hon. A. c. Beckwith, of
Evanston, senator. He went to Wash
ington and his credentials were pre-
scented to the senate. They were re-
ferred to the judiciary committee,
which made an adverse report, the re-
port being unanimous.
In this report the ground was taken
that if a state did not choose, through
its legislature, to elect a senator to
represent it in the federal senate, it
was its right to do so, but that the
executive of the state had no right 10
appoint a senator when the vacancy
occurred through the failure, for any
cause, of the legislature to elect rep
resentative of the state to the senate.
1t was held that if the people in THEN
capacity as a sovereign state did not
choose to be represented in the fedora
senate, they need not be; it was entire
ly different from the case where the
vacancy occurred through death OF
resignation and the legislature had
had no opportunity to act.
That was the proper view to take. II
a state does not choose to elect a SEN
ator it is at liberty to do so, but it is
not the right or province of the gov
ernor to remedy the neglect. 1t is
probable that the appointees
of Governors Bradley and Bloxam viii
not be permitted to take their seats.

STATUS OF LEGISLATIVE WORK.

Only a few days of the present SEES
sion of the legislature remain, but the
legislature has its work well in hand
and there is no reason why it should
not get through it by the time the
hour of final adjournment arrives and
without any clock-stopping.
Yesterday the house passed the code
1t has not been before that body many
days, and at first it might seem as
though the house had acted hastily
Such is really not the case. The va
rious committees to which different
sections of the code had been referred
had familiarized themselves with chose
sections and made what changes they
deemed wise. The house, like all legis-
lative bodies. accepts the report of its
committees and acts upon them; it is
the only way in which any great
amount of work can be accomplished
This, of course, does not relieve the
house from responsibility, nor does it
seek to relieve itself thereby 1t is not
at all improbable that, so far as the
code is concerned, really better work
will have been done by accepting the
reports of the committees without any
particular amendment whatever Each
committee, conscious of it's own thor
ough consideration of the section as
signed it, is perfectly willing to rely
upon the work of every other commit
tee; and this same feeling pervades
the house as a whole. Hence the dis
patch with which the code was dis
posed of by the house.
Few of Utah's legislatures have had
their work in better shape so neal
the close of. the session than the pres
ent one has. When the senatorial
contest was on it seemed as though
other necessary business might De
neglected. But it has not been, and
this is matter of much congratula-
ton to the people of the state as wei
as to the legislators themselves.

THE INCREASE OF CRIME.

At the opening of the criminal court
at St Joseph, Mo, on the 1st inst.
Judge Culver was very pronounced in
his arraignment of murderers. and de-
clared crime was on the increase. He
said:
For instance, prior to 1886 less than
1000 murders and justifable homi-
cides We're committed annually in the
United States. In 1886 the number
reached 1.449: 1887 1885; 1888, 1854:
1889. 3.176: $780, j go; 1891. $500; 1892
6. 791: 1898, 6,6l5: 1894. $500; 1895, 10,121
while it is estimated that in 1886 the
lives of almost $4,000 Of our fellow
citizens were taken by their fellow
men, These facts are not only tenable
but so astounding as 10 be almost be-
yond belief With all our boosted civ
ilization and progress the fact yet
stares us in the face that we are a
nation of red-handed murderers. Nc
European nation has in proportion TO
population as many murderers as we
have. Even Italy, known as the most
murderous of nations, has annually
less than one-eighth as many murders
with one-half as great a population.
All other forms of crime are increas-
ing in about the same proportion.
IN our own state we have no &C
curate compilation of statistics on this
subject, but good idea can be formed
OF the facts when ii is known that
within the past four years the num-
Der of persons convicted of crime has
increased 80 Der cent. A part of this
increase must be accounted for on ac-
count of the increase in population
but the increase in crime so far ex-
ceeds the growth in population that
we must look to other causes for an
explanation"
That crime is on the increase Isl
probably true, but this increase is in
all probability only relative TO the in
crease of population. 1t viii take sta
tistics that are reliable beyond a rea-
sonable doubt" to convince anyone
with common sense that there has
been an increase of 400 per cent in
crime in the United States in the past
ten years.
What does Judge Culver's state
ment, when analysed, mean? It /
means that for every 5000 people in !
the United States there was either
murder or a homicide in the United
States last year. Apply this to our
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-07

Speaking of prison labor, a subject
that has engrossed more or less of the
legislatures attention, the Detroit
Journal says: THE plain fact is that
prison labor should be made as profit
able as possible to the state. The more
the prisoners earn the easier the bur-
den of the people. If the convicts
could be made to pay the costs of the
courts and jails, in addition TO earning
their living, we should be that much
ahead. Whatever work they are sci
at, it is still in competition with out
side labor; but it does not follow that
it ought to undersell outside products
If there is any profit the state ought
to have it or share it with the prison
ers. The more the prisoners work and
earn, the less someone else will have to
work and earn to support them The
great problem should be how to put
the product of prison labor on the
market so as not to cut prices" The
last sentence states the problem as it
really exists. How shall products the
result of prison labor be put on the
market so as not to cut prices? That
is the question.
