THE PLAGUE IN INDIA.

Advices fran Bombay concerning
the prevalence OF the dread disease, the
bubonic plague, are not encouraging.
1t seems that panic exists In the city,
and people are leaving their homes
and places Of business. Mile and
factories are abandoned and business
streets are being deserted. Hundreds
OF deaths occur daily and many bodies
arc left unburied, often to be devoured
by wild animals, because relatives and
friends are afraid OF touching the
corpses.
The epidemic fret appeared in
China more than two years ago and
carried of thousands OF victims. II
has now worked It's way to India, and
Notwithstanding the efforts OF medical
men to check It, 1t seems to rage with
undated fury. Whit DO confined to
the Asistic countries, or will 1t start

cleanliness is the most powerful, par.

bodies and dwellings. Over.crowded
houses with deficient ventilation lie
another cause favorable to the oisease.

thsth have not been printed, would be
avoided.
Tho time 10 ecoaomizi in rotation to
public printing is when the contracts
are awarded, aud when the work is
measured up. Too high prices should not
be allowed, nor should more work be
paid for than actually has been done.
1 ts easy to guard both these points.
What public documents shall or
shall not bo printed at the expense OF
the State, ia not question difficult to
determiue. The nature and contents
OF the document, its value or lack OF
value to the taxpayer, and the In
creased facility it offers to the public
setvice, should determine the Gaze.
tut there lie fer more room elsewhere
Tor legislative economy than In the
matter OF printing, as Legislators gem
orally are much more free to confess a.
the close Of a session than during its
opening hours.

PUBLIC PRINTING AND ECONOMY.

AS regularly as a legislative session
opens, more or less Ia said, often
by inexperienced members, abou
economy in the public printing. Now
there are certain things that have to
be printed, In compliance with law and
to avoid expense; and there need be
no difficulty In determining what
these things are.
The legislative journals are required
by the Constitution to be printed, and
interests and welfare of the people
demand that they bs given the con.
tents Of certain public documents,
prepared with great labor and
embracing valuable information. Not
to print these documents would be to
throw away much labor and useiu
knowledge, and would be u disregard
OF real economy.
Before y bill OF any length ia read
In iull, in open session, for exRmina-
ton as to ito adoption, IT ought to be
printed. No thoughtful consideration
can be given to it by members who
merely hear its words pronounced
rapidly, ana have not copies OH their
decks; aHd the time consumed In such
reading, with opportunity OF com.
parlson, is almost entirely wasted. a
simple operation in arithmetic will
chow that this wasted time costs
the State more than the printing OF
the bill would, and in some instance
many times more. Then there ia the
ever present danger In acting upon a
measure which has not been scrugi-
nized carefully, anu such scrutiny is
impracticable until the bill ia in print.
A good rule is to have bill printed
as soon as it has been favorably re.
ported by a committee, and not till
then, except In special cases, OF unless
the adverse report OF the committee be
rejected, In other words, the
bill should be printed preparatory
to its actual consideration in
open session. Under such a rule the
State would be saved thecosl OF printing
bills in which a committee could no.
find merit; and expensive loss OF time
by members Of the Legislature, sure to
result from an attempt to consider bills

MIR. sMURThwAIrL's LETTER.

The DEsERET NEWS hss received
from Elder e. A. Smnrlhwalte, Of
Ogden, a letter, accompanied by Que
addressed to Elder b. II. Roberts. In
which the Ogden writer attempts TO
Teiute the arguments presented by
Elder Roborts's letter on Church dis
cipline, published in the NEWS o week
ago, and written by him In rosp1nse to
n communication from Ogtep. Elder
Smurth waite, in his letter to the
NEWS, says that since the first com
munication and Elder Roberts's ex'
tended reply thereto had been pub
iishei in the NEWS, this second
letter also should, in justlcs to him,
receive publicity through this paper.
Elder Smurthwa communication
to the NEWS is dated at Ogden on
January ~. This issue OF the N Ews
Ia the 15th--throe days later. Since
the receipt here OF that com munica.
ton only one issue OF this paper
that OF the 14ih-has been made In
which 1t would have been possible for
1t to appear. Yet Elder Smurth.
waite rushes to tho Tribune. which
gives the letter this morning--loss
than three days from the Tins the one
to the NEWS was written. And
on his behalf the Tribune charges that
the NEWS had held his letter for three
days-a statement which is not true,
nor intended to be. This much to
characterize the nature of his eager
ness. AZ to the Justice Elder Smurth-
waite assumes TO claim, in having his
second letter TO Elder Roberts pub.
llshed before the latter had chance
to see 1t, much lees TO make response,
the claim is maniieetiy unfair
and unjust. Assuming that the
letter has been sent to Elder
Roberts. who is now out OF tho
State, Justice 10 regard to its Dublice-
ton would have said that Elder Rob.
erts should have hal the opportunity
to make rejoinder, 80 that the second
communication and response thereto
could have appeared together, exactly
as was done in the first instance. To
have proceeded otherwise would have
been grossly unfair to Elder Roberts.
Our Ogden friends definition of jus.
tice seems to be to allow him all
the say.so. with no opportunity
for the other party In interest to
have a hearing before the public tri.
bunal at the same time, or until such a
late date as would do him serious ir-
iuhtlce.

THE OFFICE SEEKING MANIA.

There is in the present Assembly
an experienced legislator. who has
studied In all the leading educational
Institutions OF the State, is well
informed man, and well knowa
as stock raiser and agriculturist.
He lie specially familiar with the
fruit aud field crop interests OF
the State. Since the announce.
ment OF the stsndlUg cjmmittess,
several OF his friends have
asked him why he was not given a
single chairmanship. The only ex'
PLANTATION no could make was that he
did not seek any such appointment.
The fact is, an ofiics.seeking spirit,
which might be called mania with
little il any exaggeralion, is sweeping
over the State. The old rule, so
long practlced in Utah, which
compelled the Uflice to seek
the man, has been abolished,
ami men 90 about In droves, seeking
place. For every vacancy OF any
consequences there ia clamorlng
crowd Of applicants, while intrigue
and bargaining characterize caucuses,
conventions and election.
A restoration OF the old rule would
be vastly to the advantage OF the
State, and while such n restoration
may now appear like some far of
Elysian dream, at least n little
can be done by men In positions OF
influence and authority. Take county
commissions for example. II they
would make 1t q rule to give place.
hunters the ge-by, and make their
own selections Tor such positions as
they fill by appointment, the moral
effect woulI be wholesome, and the
people would be better served than by
an opposite rule.
The fact Is that the man who seeks
the office 10 not always as suitable for
it as Is the man whom the office seeke;
anu II this maxim shall be observed
by the appointing powers, In city,
county and State, the result will be
highly beneficial, and tho pernicious
disposition TO seek provencer at the
public crib viii be checked.

The Last of the Endeavorer Trains
Passed Yesterday.

The last of the special trains carry
ing Christian Endeavorers to the Inter
national Convention at San Francisco
passed through the city yesterday, and
at 4 o'clock p. m. nothing remained for
the Southern Pacific Company to do but
clean up the regular traffic which had
been necessarily delayed at Stockton.
The local Endeavorers were at the de-
pot to welcome each detachment of Visl-
tors yesterday, and the fruits and flow
ers distributed to the Fasteners were
thoroughly enjoyed by them. Fresh figs,
however, stumped them, and when a
citizen from New York or Missouri was
presented with a dozen luscious blue
beauties, he would eye them SuSpiciously
as though he expected a California trick
was being played on him, cautiously
sink his teeath into the strange fruit,
ana then throw it from him, as much as
TO say, in the words of General Sigel:
'Schentelmans, dot vas Won poor
choke"
Handsome souvenirs of Sacramento
city and county were distributed among
the visitors and they were made to feel
as nearly as possible at home. The
trains which arrived yesterday were as
follows:
New York-9:45 a. m.
Mixed-10:20 a. m
Regular, No. 2, due Wednesday after
noon-11 40 a. m
Mixed-12:45 p. m, 1:30 m. and =
p. m.
Pennsylvania p. m, which was the
last of the special trains carrying Chris
tian Endeavorers.
The fire which destroyed 300 feet of
snOWshedS and damaged 100 feet of
track in the mountains on Thursday
afternoon, virtually caused no delay in
the trains, as they would have been held
in Oakland the four hours they spent in
the mountains had they gone on
through.
