u. s. SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.

The House of Representatives has a;
last formally receded from its conten-
tion that the constitution should be
doubly amended if the proposition to
elect Senators by popular vote is grant
cd That is the House position has
been not only that the constitution
should be changed, if changed al all,
legislature of State to directly elect
the L. s. Senators, but that it must be
further amended by taking the cleo
tions out OF the jurisdiction of Con-
gress. As it is now, Congress has power
to supervise the election of Senators
and Representatives The House in
sisted on taking away that power so tar
as the election Of Senators is concerned.
If popular election Of Senators is con
ceded. The Senate stood firm in op.
position, holding that in order to al
low Of the election Of Senators by the
people, there was no need to change the
constitution IN respect OF taking the
elections out from under the jurisdic-
ton of Congress. To do this would
be 10 free the Senatorial elections from
supervision which Congress is now
empowered by the constitution to exer-
else over the election of both Senators
and Representatives, and retain the su-
pervision of the election Of Representa-.
tivcs alone. And so the two Houses
of Congress would have been placed
upon separate and different basis. so
far as Congressional authority is con
cerncd
We recently went over tho points in
this case in view Of the agreement of
the leading Democrats in the House to
| accept the Senate view; and now the
| House has officially taken the action
accordingly, and agrees 10 the Bristow
amendment which eliminates from the
popular election provision that part OF
IL which takes away the Jurisdiction
of Congress over the election. And 80
the proposition goes TO the States on
the simple question OF changing the
form Of election OF L. S. Senators from

THE BIG MOUNTAIN TRAIL.

Examination of the sheep. trail qucs.
tlon has resulted in the conclusion that
the attempt of the Salt Lake munici-
pal commission to open the Big Noun
tain trail for the passage of hocks OF
sheep is null and void. The ordinance
passed eight years ago has not been
touched. and is still in force and eff.
feet
That resolution was passed on Jam.
arv %, 1904, 1t fixed the sheep trails
through the canyons, described the
route for the tran, and expressed the
limitations that have been in effect
ever since, and of which the sheepmen
are well informed This ordinance is
in full force and effect, it has never
been modified, much less repealed. IT
absolutely forbids the action recently
taken by the commission, and leaves
the matter precisely as before.
Consequently, any shcepmen using
the supposed liberty given by the re.
cent resolution of the Salt Lake City
Commission does so at his peril The
State Board of Health is not disposed
to be ugly or drastic about this matter
beyond what is reasonable and fair
and what is necessary TO protect the
health of the city; but it is firm IN
the proposition that the health OF the
people must be preserved, and that
such preventatlves against bcfouling
the water as the law permits Will be
put into force.
The commission. in undertaking to
give permission contrary to law aud
ordinance, went beyond its powers
and that permission is illegal Such
sheeDmen rs may think themselves
protected by that order or permission
are liable to find themselves in the
tolls Of the law; for while, as stated
the State Board Of Health is not dis.
posed to be fractions about this mat
ter, it is certainly determined TO en-
force the law and preserve the purity
of the water which is to be used by the
people of this city, in every way in its
power,

NICARAGUA AND HONDURAS,

We are sorry TO see that the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations has de.
cided to refuse to report the Nlcara-
guam and uonduran treaties. Senator
Sutherland OF Utah is upon that com
mittce. There would seem to he no
reason why the treaties should not be
reported. On the contrary, they should
be reported favorably, and ratified :.
their purpose is beneficial, their effect
would undoubtedly be to cement friend
" relations between those nations and
the United States. Honduras and Mica
ragua need the help, both financially
and industrially, that the ratification
of these treaties would afford We have
discussed this question heretofore. and
see no reason whatever why there
should be any opposition To those trca-
tics. Their ratification would be the
best stroke Of international policy, 50
far as this country and the Latin.
American Republics arc concerned. that
has been made in many years.
No statement is made why these
treaties are not reported; but VIC gath
or from the New York Tribune that
the reason is supposed to be political

WILL THERE BE INSTRUCTION.

II appears TO bo fairly well settled
that the Federal bunch in this State Is
ready to go back upon its support OF
I President Taft. and that in the Provo

delegates to be instructed for I5it

the Federal bunch, That malodorous
gang is in complete control of the con
vention it has dictated every step liz
the procedure, arbitrarily and without
consulting anybody except its own IN
ucr circle. The big boss is IN complete
control. and the bunch hastens always
with zeal and ostontslion TO do his

favor of any one else who might pos
siblv develop strength enough I'm Ihl-
caao to get the nomination. Its desire

bc with the winner, AS long as it tg'
ures that Taft is the winner. it is with
Taft: if il could figure that Roosevelt
would win, IL would be equally Jealous
for Roosevelt; and ii would be the
same for Hughes. or for any one else
man.
Whatever is done today at Provo
will be done BY the express orders OF
the bunch, and the bunch Will have TO
stand for it. since the convention Is
altogether a bunch convention, beng
neither Taft, Roosevelt, nor Repub-
licap. but simply the voice of appetite

eut at that convention. and who could
convince the bunch that it was dan
eerous to its members as ofhceholders
to take any given action, could bluff
the bunch ont Of taking that action,
with but one spoken word. But wheth-
er that word will be spoken or not, and
whether there will be instructions or
not the final determinations of what
is to be done will be by word from the
big boss. and will be conveyed by the
A.
bunch to the delegates. Heretofore,
the organ of that bunch has been out
spoken for instructions for President
Taft; but there will be no lnstruc-
tions if the bunch thinks that the In
terest OF its members as ofiiceholders
will be jeopardized by instruction; and
in any event, the bunch, which repre-
sents the ofiiceholding appetite, viii
do what is done, and must stand re-
sponsible for it before the public.

Governor Foss has assured me that he will not be a candidate for the United States sen ate against me" says Mayor Fitzger- aid, all reports to the contrary not withstanding. l do not know whether the Governor intends to seek re-elec- ton. There is no reason in my mind why the next legislature should not be democratic. The people will cer- tainly see a campaign by our party worthy of the name"
