STILL ACTIVE IN POLITICS.

Henry L.. Stoddard, writing in
the New York Mail and Express, says
that the writing of Mr.. Cleveland
name leads him to recall that a gen
tleman VINO recently spent an after
noon with the ex-president- was i'm
pressed by the amount of political cor
respondence which Princeton's leading
citizen is carrying on. He is in fire.

! followers in many of the stares, and
/ HIS visitor came away from his home
with the thought deeply impressed
upon him that Mr.. Cleveland is not
yet cut Of public life, or rather nat
he does not so consider himself He
is writing as many political letters to-
day as he ever did, said this visitor.
and you would cbe amazed TO see the
number of letters he receives every
day. He replies to all of them in his
laborious way, particularly If the
writer asks his counsel and advice as
to the future Of the party. I had as
sumed that Cleveland was out of con-
sideration for 1900, but 1 am fairly
convinced now that he looks forward
confidently to a great popular demand
for him in that year-so great as TO
form the basis for the organization of
new national party. if necessary, TO
put him IN The field as a presidential
candidate
That Mr.. Cleveland keeps up large
political correspondence with his cid
time followers shows that he is at
least greatly interested in current
events, but it does not of necessity
show that he looks upon himself as a
probable presidential candidate in
1900 The tenor of the letters he re-
ceives and writes would disclose the
fact whether or not he so considers
himself, but nothing less would
If Mr.. Cleveland in reality looks for

popular demand for him in 1900 as
presidential candidate, he is but de-

any possibility. But he is much too
shrewd a politician to permit himself

THE IDAHO FEE LAW.

The decision of the supreme court of
Idaho in the fee law case is a very i'm
portant one and will doubtless affect
many of the states laws, should their
consfitutionality be questioned. The
gist of the decision is in the concIu-
sions reached by The court, which are
in these terms:
Firss. To determine the validity of
statute the court can, and should in
the proper case. go back of the en-
rolled bill to the journals of both
houses to ascertain whether the re-
quiremenJs of the constitution were
complied with by the legislature in
enacting such statute
Second. The act in question is void
in toto, by reason of the failure of the
journals of the legislature to show a
compliance with the requirements Of
the constitution in passing said act
The second conclusion is the more
important and the one that will cause
whatever trouble may result from the
decision. It says very plainly that the
journals must snow affirmatively that
all constitutional requirements have
been complied with, leaving nothing
Whatever " pISSuIilp llOH- Inc decision
construes a provision of the Idaho
constitution and not a mere statute,
and it holds the provision to be manda-
tory and not simply directory.
There can scarcely be any doubt
that there is too much looseness in the
enactment of laws. Legislators go
along paying but small heed 10 what
the constitution directs in the matter
of following a certain method in
passing laws. If these directions were
followed there would seldom or never
be any question as TO the validity of a
statute so far as its proper enactment
is concerned. Matters are too often
permitted to go along in a loose and
slipshod way through. very often.
desire to get nd of certain measure
and to hurry things along, and the
result is that haste makes waste: in
other words. the will is taken for the
deed. More care on the part of law
makers would obviate the trouble that

to explain away the facts that give
rise to the impression. And when
there are four murders in four months
there is something radically wrong.
What is it and where is It? All I'M
derstand that murderers do not do
their deeds in the open and that they
try to conceal the evidences of them
as well as they can, but when they
are so frequent as they have been in
them must feel that there is more or
less immunity for them either through
the existence of a not very strong pub
lie sentiment of condemnation of such
crimes or else through a not very
stringent enforcement of the laws or
an ineficiency on the part of the Of
ficers.
One thing needful TO put a stop 10
these crimes is the rousing of public
sentiment against all lawlessness, for
when a small and comparatively
small offense against city ordinances
is permitted it opens the way to
greater crimes a 5ommunity can no
more wink at and condone offenses
against city ordinances, and that is
done in this city. and then expect that
laWlessness in other and graver forms
Will not come in than a man can COM
nit small trespasses against the moral
law and the law of the land and be in
no danger of going further. To per-
nit one law To be broken is to invite
the breaking of all laws.

The New York Times says that
Baltimores jail board has just adopted
a resolution expressing the opinion
that the police justices of the city
ought in future TO sentence wife
beaters who appear before them to
the whipping post. as we believe that
the punishment at the post would
have a better effect than imprison-
menE in jail" This resolution, it is
worth noting. was introduced by Mrs
Z. A. Robinson. the only woman mem
Der of the board, and she advocated
its passage in a long speech calling at
tention TO the ever-increasing number
of commitments for wifebeating. She
said that imprisonment for 80. so or
80 days had apparently no deterrent
effect upon the average wifebeater,
for the records of the Jail show that
many of the offenders repeat their
offense almost Immediately after their
release. In the opinion of Mrs
Robinson. number of lashes at the
post would have a wholesome effect
upon such lawbreakers, and would
also deter others from following their

DIR. HALL AT PROVO.

Next Friday, the 10th, the Utah
county summer school will convene al

therefore every teacher in the state,
and more particularly those whose
work is in the common schools where

high commentator for having brought
TO the county some of the foremost
educators Of the country. They are
doing a truly noble work and deserve

THE EPIDEMIC OF MURDERS.

Yesterday there was another murder
in this city. and so far as known it
seems to have been a most foul and
brutal one This is the fourth murder
that has occurred in this city this
year. The Beutler murder was a
most mysterious affair and is still
shrouded in mystery.
What is the matter that there is
such an epidemic of murder? This is
a peaceful, law-abiding community and
people feel safe as they walk the
streets, even during the late hours Of
the night, yet these murders can hard
