THE LEGISLATURES.

So far the legislature has done but
little outside OF elpcrmg United
States Senator. Several bills have
been introduced into both branches,
the most important nf which are bills
to provide for the compilation and
publ hing of the statutes of Nevada
bill to repeal the purity OF electlous
law: Il bill to repeal the Act providing
for the destruction of noxious ami
mels; and bill To provide for the
management Of the Hospital for
Mental Diseases.
Criticisms of the first ind last men,
toned bills have already appeared in
these columns. The first one should
be sent to the legislative bone
var and the last shoull receive the
serious attention %: our legislators t.
the end that the unfortunate inmates
OF that institution will not suffer
through the change proposed.
The hill for the repeal "f the purit,
law ought To pass. The law serves
no useful purpose with the honest
cnndiIatc and SO far has failed to-
cnrb the expenditure Of money by
the dishonest Candidate in the fur
tltrance of his election. 1t is per.
jury b'eeder, pure and simple, and
should he wipel off The statute
books.
The bill to repea! The act providing
tor the deStrucrnn nf noXiOus AM
mall, commonly called the scalp law,
will doubtlest meet with good deal
Of oppo-Iti0n. A great deal can be
said for and against this law. 1t lla-
been the means OF protecting the
tocbis and herds Of the State from the
rava2s Of the coyote and mountain,
lion. but it is questionable whether
the benefits derived from it, epcroach
ment has equaled the cost it has been
to the taxpay ers Of the State. In Elk.
county alone there has been over
$4,000 paid ont the treas
ury the last year for scaIps
Of noxi"ns animals, mostly coyotes
At 90 cents apiece that would mean
that over ten thousand coyotes were
killed IN this county alone Last year.
But withStandIng thus the coyote
family serms to be on the increase
and IA heavier draft on the trensur,
will he ma ie this year. Az n protec.
ton 10 the floclSs and herds Of tne
State. The law may be blessing. but
as drag upon the pockets of the
taxp crs it is a pronounced cucceSs.
IT the la is not repealed orr lcgis
la'ors should devise some way to pre-
vent the iaIpor' alton If scalpS from
Utah. Idaho, California and Ore yon.
III tins were done, the drains upon the
county treasures would be greatly

Nervous Dyspepsia. The explanation

GENERAL SKATERS COMPLAINT.
Petty Slight Attributed to Sampson
In Hobson Case.

New York, Feb. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: While
admitting that no formal tender of
thanks was given to General Shafter
for accomplishing the exchange of Ma
val Constructor Robson and the crew
of the Merrimac, officials of the navy
department profess that proper credit
has always been given to him for his
action.
Their declarations are in answer to
General Skaters statement in his arti-
Gle in the current number of a nlsnthly
magazine that The fact that they
were released by the army has never
been acknowledged by officers of the
navy, who simply speak of Mr.. Hob
sons return 10 duty"
1t is true, SO far as the published re-
ports OF Rear Admiral Sampson show,
that ne did not refer TO General Shafter
or the army in announcing Hobson's
release to the navy department. Eric
ton between the army and navy COM
manders at Santiago was too evident to
permit any commendatory reports of
General Skaters efforts to be made,
but naval officers say the army never
theless has always been given full cred
il for his act of humanity.

PACIFIC CABLE PROSPECTS.
Must Be Built and Controlled BY the
Government

Must Be Built and Controlled BY the
Government
San Francisco, Feb. 2-The steamer
Coptic arrived from Hongkong and Yo-
kohama, via Honolulu, today, bringing
a large number of army and navy Of
ficers from the Philippines. Among
the passengers to arrive was John a.
Scrymser. president OF the Pacific Ca
bic company. In an interview he ex-
pressed himself as being encouraged to
hope that the cable would be MAIN
tanned and operated b the United
States government. de was of the
opinion that private capital would not
take the risk of such governmental
control.
Mr.. Scrymser was of the opinion
that no American cable company could
land in the Philippines or on the Asiat-
ic coast without the consent Of Eng
lish companies, which have controlling
contracts with the different govern
ments, some of which run until 1919.
These are vested rights, and Mr.
Scrymser thought that the United
States government cannot abrogate the
contracts without paying heavy COM
pensation therefor. and that the only
way for the American cable to gain
access to Asiatic territory would be
through the liberal backing of the
United States government. Such a ca
BILE was military necessity, and the
United States should have exclusive
control and be entirely Independent of
foreign companies.

ALLEGED Wife Beaten.

John Marcroft of 93S West Eighth
South, when called in police court yes
terday to answer to the charge of beat
ing his wife, Rilla Marcroft, spoke half
sobbing and in a trembling voice in his
own behalf. Il didn't hit her, judge.
I'll just tell you how it was. She took
the baby out of the house, and it COM
menced to squat, and 1 told her to
come in 1 just took hold of her and
pushed her into the house. 1 never
struck her blow Intentionally in my
life
WELL said Judge Timmony. your
wife was here yesterday and said you
had been beating her for thirteen years.
But she has failed to appear today, and
suppose some one has persuaded her
not to come. 1 would like to get a crack
at you. and but for the reason that your
wife did not appear, 1 would give you
sixty days"
Mr. Marcroft, who is 80 years of age.
walked out quite humbly. when APP
prised that the case would be dismissed
owing to the non-appearance Of his
wife

members of this joint assembly that,
as gentlemen, the minority members
should keep out of this fight, as 1t be-
longed to the other side to settle the
question. We have felt to comply with
the request to keep out, and now it has
Seen waged so long we are dared to
settle it. The majority say if you gen.
tlenlen settle this now you assume the
responsibility, but 1 wish to say, Mr.
President, that the majority cannot es-
cape the responsibility of the contest
that is now before US.
when this contest began, myself
and colleagues decided to compliment
our friends and have continued to do
so until today. We have felt that We
owed duty TO our party. but, sir, we
also owe duty to the state. 1t Is not
my intention at the present time to
interfere in this fight. but we will not
be responsible should this continue to
drag as il has done. As l have already
stated, Mr.. President, prominent citi-
zenS of this state are asking that We
settle the contest that is now on
Il have been told from time to time
to wait for a day or so, and l would be
surprised, until 1 have almost believed
that some internal machine was going
to explode in our midst. 1t has now
daWned upon my mind what has been
meant. This storm will OCCUR in the
shape OF a cyclone in the future. 1t
viii sweep the valleys of Utah from the
north to the south and will bury some
Of the members on the other side of the
house so deep that they will never get
out. And should you ask why, / wo . |
say because they refuse to now do their
duty. And when this little band on my
left returns here two years from now,
increased and multiplied four fold,
there viii not be a Canaanite left in
the land. And, Mr.. President, on my
return here two years hence, should
see none of the majority members
present, shall indeed think the millen-
MUM has dawned upon the Legislature
of the state of Utah. For the present
cast my vote for the Hon. George
Sutherland"
