COUNT TURBINES PLAN.

An article published IN tho lndepend-
ence Beige by Count de Turenne, a
member OF the French diplomatic SER
vice Is said TO have attracted a great
deal Of attention. The count deals with
the south African situation, and as
serta that he Is confident Mr.. Kruger
would now accept autonomy for the
countries south " .Bechuanaland,"
without any restriction, except British
su2eralnty over their relations with for
elgn governments.
The dispatch in which this news IL
conveyed explains that Count de Ture-
nnc Is related to prominent English
families, and that he has been intimate
" associated with Mr., Kruger and the
Boer representatives in Europe. The
Inference ia, we presume, that he may
be considered as speaking with author
ity, and that what he says is likely to
have great weight.
The dispatch rs not entirely clear as
to the proposition OF the count but
probably Il means this, that the Boer
leaders now are willing 10 give up the
fight abandon the .rransyaal and the
Orange River colony, and make anoth-
err trek, II the British VIII permit them
10 establish new independent repub-
lie IN South Bechuannand. This Is

THE new COUNCIL,

The City Council Is now organized
md tho struggle over ita presidency
has ceased. Charles Cottrell IT,, has
received q majority Of The votes Of his
associate counclmcn and should be
cordially sustained as the President Of
that body. He enters upon the duties
OF that position. as We understand,
without pledges 20 any party or fac
tion. That Is emlnently proper
From what we have learned Of the
contention that has been IN process for
several weeks an attempt was made to
pledge candidates for the Office Of Pres
ident of the Council to certain appoint
ments OF chairmanships etc. which
have failed, and the candidates have
also failed Of election because they
would not bind themselves TO those
requirements, We think that every
man 80 approached was justified IN re-
fusing to be 40 tied up, and It should be
n qualification 70 the people Of this city
that such schemes have not been per
mltted TO prevail.
The great masses Of our citizens care
very little what may be the politics or
Views Oh national AFFAIRS entertained by
the members or committeeman or the
President Of the Council. They want a
business administration. They desire to
zee the proceedings Of the Council con-
Quoted deoently, orderly and with a
view to the best interests Of the
municipality The private ambitious
and personal quarrels Of the mombeIs
they do not wish TO see aired In that
body. Exhibitions Of anger, petty jeal-
ousy and verbal rivalry are simply dia-
gustlng to intelligent looSers-on,
We hope the new city Council viii
not be distinguished by the bitterness
and squabbes OF some past municipal
bodies. This organization shoulG rise
70 a higher plane, II the members viii

benefit Of the city, and conduct their

cnts, and the good effects Of their ia
iors win be seen in the advancement
OF the clty's interests and IN the votes

Seth Low Is a man Of whom all Amer
leans may be proud. He has the very
finest sense of the code OF ethics that
should guide a public official. Within
the last fortnight he has sold more than
100000 worth Of stocks and bonds of
corporations and financial institutions,
These securities include those Of banks
and trust companies, which ordinarily
do business with the city Of New York
as repositories and the like and those
Of the companies that hold, or are like.
" TO ask, franchises from the city Mr..
Low has held many OF these securities
for years. Some of them he inherited
from his father. Many Of them pro.
duced an income that cannot be dupll.

sale, in securities OF companies that are
never likely TO come IN contact with the

THE SALARIES QUESTION.

The decision OF the Supreme Court OF
Utah on the question OF the increased
halarles OF state officers, has already
caused difference Of opinion among
lawyers and newspapers and the gem
eral public. This was TO have been ex-
peoted The subject had been pretty
thoroughly discussed throughout the
State Opinions had been formed pro
md con. whichever way the decision
had been rendered. there would have
been still difference OF views In rela-
tion TO II. The unanlmity OF the judges
is very satisfactory feature In the
settlement OF the dispute. II ought to
have weight with the public, II there
had been a minority opinion, room
might have been made for greater con-
ientlon The three justices, having well
considered the matter IN oil It's bear
ligs, are a trinity in unity as to the
right OF the State officers to the salaries
fixed by law at the last session Of the
Legislature,
That there Is room for dispute as to
The exact meaning Of the provision Of
The State Constitution on the compon-
patlon Of state officers, must be adj
United But the meager salaries TEN,
porarily provided by that instrument
were clearly Intended TO be only until
"fxed by law and as the court has
Demonstrated, that phrase signifies
legislative enactment, The Constitution
further provides, as we understand H.
that no change should be made by law
which would affect the salaries OF the
officers lrst elected, That IL, during
'tho term next ensuing after the adop-
lion " this Constitution" The Loglsla-
fuIc made no provision for change Of
salaries until the session Of 1901 White
there was some dispute as to the apou-
cation Of the law TO the officers that
had been recently elected the intention
OF the majority Of the Legislature was
evidently TO do Justice to the incdm-
bentS as wen as to their SUCCESSORS.
The count has taken these two Views
OF the subject, and they are those
which were expressed NY the Deseret
News when the dispute first arose on
this point But the court has made very
prominent the principle that; "When
the Legislature by ensetments. either
impliedly or expressly CONSTITUTES a pro-
vision Of a statute or a constitution, in
doubtful cases, the courts win accent
the legislative construction and enforce
The provision In accordance herewith
