GOVERNOR TO APPOINT,

Announcement is made that Governor
Emmett O'Neal of Alabama has about
made up his mind that he is authorized
under the law to appoint a Senator in
the case of the existing vacancy, and
that be will presently appoint sue
ccssor to the late Joseph F. Johnston,
Senator from that State; which is in
teresting news. Such appointment will
raise question under the Seventeenth
amendment to the IT, 8. Constitution,
which provides for the election Of q. S.
Senators by popular vote. Undoubted.
ly, Governor O'Neal' IS position is taken
from the analogy of the present case
with that which would have arisen in
case this amendment had not been rati-
fed and the old order was still in force /;
but ii lacks positive law to back it.
Under that old order, the Governor
would undoubtedly be authorized to
fill the vacancy until the legislature
should meet and elect, Governor O'Neal
doubtless reasons that since no, status
has been changed except the body
which elects the Senator, that change
being from the body Of the legisla-
ture TO the body Of the people at large.
no interference has been made with the
Governor power to appoint tenn
porarily in case Of the happening of a
vacancy. Under that logic, the Gov
ernor would be authorized to appoint
until the people at the next general
election in that State had an oppor-
tunity to Gil the vacancy, precisely as
before when the Governor could and
did appoint until the legislature had an
opportunity to elect.
Under this construction OF the status.
the Governor appointee would hold
until the next general election in the
State. just as before when The Gov
ernor's appointment would hold until
the legislature had met and elected.
The reasoning looks logical and fair.
and it is altogether likely that a good
many Republican Senators would join
with the Democratic majority in giving
10 the Governor s appointee his seat in
the Senate. 1t is just ss we'll to raise
questions Of this kind and have them
settled now as to let them drag along
unsettled; and go the people of the
country will be glad to see the out
come Of this proposed appointment bv
Governor o Neal. II seems as though
the Governor had logic and custom in
his favor, though the Seventeenth

ture to authorize the Governor to make

recognized; though it does not appear
that such legislative action has been
had. 1t is to be hoped that the
Governor will persist in his announced
purpose and will make the appoint

EXCELLENT FRUIT PROSPECTS

The word which The Tribune printed
yesterday morning from Ogden with
regard to the peach crop there. is most
gratifying, The county horticultural
inspector declares that the outlook for
Utah fruit this year was never bet
ter; that the car load output of peaches
from Weber county will exceed that
Of last year by fifty per cent. The
beauty Of this report is that the quality
will also be 6rst-class, and that a good
market for all is in sight. The same
optimistic report is given by the hor-
ticultural inspector Of Weber county as
to all fruit in that county, which is
good to hear.
We believe from word received as
to the fruit prospects in other coun-
ties Of the State, that the fruit yield
will be as good relatively in other coun-
ties in Utah as in Weber. The peach
orchards at Brigham are said to be In
excellent condition and Of high prom
ise. In Utah county the fruit pros
poets are rated high; the same in Davis
county, and the same in Salt Lake
county. In Sanpete county also the
word is practically the same. The fruit
prospects are therefore very high this
year in this State; and the orchards
are cleaner of pests than ever before
in the history of Utah.
All this is very fine and encourag-
ing; and when we recall that the fruit
growers in Utah are in better cond-
ton this year to market their fruit
than ever before, a great accession to
out the State is practically in sight
The Utah Fruit Growers Association
has taken steps to secure more care in
picking and better packing of the fruit
than heretofore, the better shipping Of
it, and wider markets than ever be.
fore. An expert superintendent to
direct as TO the picking, packing, and
shipping has been engaged, and he has
been in active work throughout the
State for weeks past. The best posi-
of Utah fruit this year; first Of all, by
reason Of the abundance and the ex-
cellence of the yeild. and, not less i'm
portant, by reason of the better meth
DDS of picking, packing, and market
ing
These evidences OF progress are all
good for the State and for the people
therein. They are especially good for
the fruit raiSers, and it is TO be hoped
that the present years experience will
confirm producers of fruit in this State
in the idea that combination aud the
most expert methods, from the selec-
tion and planting of trees to the mar
keting of the fruit is what in the long
run pays the best.

ENGLISHMEN WILL EXHIBIT.

Sir Thomas Upton sets an excellent
example to the British people in an
nouncing that he will be among the
exhibitors at the Panama Exposition,
"with or without a government ex-
hibit." He evidently believes that
there should be government exhibit,
and undoubtedly he is of the opinion
that the British government, in de-
Gliding against making an exhibit gave
way to a petty resentment not in the
least justified, either by the cause of
that resentment or In the international
comfy of governments, which should
be above such small resentments.
Doubtless many other Britons will
follow his excellent example.
1t is curious to see that the italian
government, which voted 100000 for
the official participation by Italy in
that exposition, is, according to a
Rome dispatch TO the London Times,
not likely now to participate in the
exposition. Italy, by reason Of her
war in Tripoli, and the great demand
upon her financial resources, could
make a much better plea Of financial
stringeucy as the reason for not par.
ticipating in the canal exposition than
Great Britain could possibly do At
Italy could not be able to raise $780,
900 for this purpose if she really cared
to participate.
The fact is that the attitude of the
European governments at this time
with respect to that exposition appears
to be in the nature Of gauge or in.
dex Of a sort OF concerted boycott,
and this boycott is warning to the
United States that We really have no
friend at courtn in any of the ma
tions OF Europe; that when it comes
to any serious question, the united
voice of Europe is against the United
States, and will undoubtedly continue
to be so. The proposal TO form a
European commercial alliance against
the United States never took Official
form. but it appears to have struck
deep into the minds Of European public
men. who see that their people cannot
keep pace with those Of the United
States, and who resent the fact, and
are ready to do everything possible to
hamper, injure, and annoy. and to show
their animosity toward the people of
this country. The United States is so
big, so prosperous, so active, so enter
prising, that the European nations are
thrown absolutely in the shade. They
resent this predominance of the Great
Republic, and Just now are showing it
in about as nasty form as could be
devised

COMMERCIAL MEN REPORT.

IL will be remembered that some
Chamber Of Commerce passed through
this city, and, after short visit here,
proceeded to the coast, and proceeding
eastward extended their tour Of OBJ
servation to the great grain States of
the old West. a committee of the
membership Of that party comprising
dozen of the directorate of the Ma
tional Chamber of Commerce has made
a report of the trip. That report says
that the party visited eleven States
and seventeen principal cities in the
trip referred to- Fifty additional
cities were viewed more briefly be-
tween trains. The cities visited were
Omaha, Chicago, Denver, Pueblo, Salt
Lake City, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Portland, Tacoma, Seattle. Spokane,
Missoula, Helena, Billings, Fargo, Min
neapolis, and st. Paul Briefly sum-
married, the report of these directors,
which was made at Chicago, shows the
following conditions:
upon miles OF ripening grains throughout
the States OF Iowa, Nebra ska, Colorado
and the Dakotas together with an
abundance Of everything the heart could
wish upon the Pacilc slope. filed the
hearts OF the travellers with gladness and
a firm belief In the soundness OF the
prosperity II is now enjoying. Through
out the middle West the delegates found
the small bankers, farmers, business men
and all Of the population showing more
life than has been manifested for FIVE
years. Good crops are chiefly responsible
for the conditions In this part of the
country, and there is much building going
on, while land. especially agricultural
land. is steadily rising In value. and set
tiers are moving into the less thiclsly get
tied areas. In the Rocky Mountain
region conditions are splendid. In the
valleys of Montana cities are springing
into existence; high wages sure sign
OF prosperity, are being. paid. and every
body apparently is making money. on
the coast the failure of the orange crop
last winter created no more trouble than
single pebble in the bucket OF plenty.
raising OF apples and other temperate
zone fruits and the great tourist indus
try make California a veritable beehive
The cities OF the Northwest are also go
ing forward with great strides, and the
acreage of land put into crops in these
fertile States is increasing by leaps and
bounds.
All Of which is excellent reading for
those who may be inclined to take a
gloomy view of business and crop con-
ditions in the United States. Nothing
can be finer than that sort Of sentiment,
nothing more heartening and cheerful
than that sort Of optimism, A report
like that is worth all the travel and
trouble to gather the material from
which it is to be made.

lation has now gone into effect. and If
is announced from Sacramento that
the japanese in California will proceed
at once to test in the Federal courts
the validity of that statute, under the
claim that it infringes upon the provj-
sions Of the treaty between the United
States and japan.
1t is, of course, the right Of the
japanese to bring this suit. although

agricultural lands in this country by
the japanese; and since tine very word
ing OF the treaty was included in the
statute as passed. the legal standing

of the complainants in such suit
would seem 10 be about as sbaky as
possible, On the equities involved. also,
California can plead that any treaty
right ought to be reciprocal, and since
the japanese government denies to
Californians, or any other foreigners,
the right to acquire land in Japan,
there appears to be quite as little
equity in this litigation as it has stand
ing in the law.
Aside from all that, there is really
no hardship involved in that legisla-
ton. save only n little Inconvenience,
for by means Of corporations and agcn.
cies the Japanese can acquire such land
as they may desire to obtain In Cali
fornia The land can be held in the
name of any white man, or group OF
white men, precisely as the Japanese
held land in Washington and Oregon
when the laws of those States forbade
such holding; and so these States re-
pealed the statutes as of no practical
effect.
The same will be the case in Cali
fornia, and it is impossible to under
stand, save only through the recogni-
tion Of fretful disposition, why the
Japanese should have made so much
fuss as they did about this litigation.
For, first of all, it is not in the least
violative Of treaty rights. II puts the
Japanese in this country, nominally at
least, on precisely the samo plane that
Japan puts foreigners in that coun-
try; and finally, by means Of corpora
tions and agencies the law can be 80
easily evaded that its passage does
not amount even to a fraction Of the
evils imagined, and which caused the
wild stir which it made. II is likely
before the suits como to final deter
mination in the Federal courts, that
all interest in them will have passed
away.

PEACE IN THE BALKANS.

The announcement from the capital
| of Rumania that the peace treaty be
| tween the Balkan states was signed on
to the world. The war between the
| Balkan allies has been one OF fright
full slaughter. An estimate of the NUM-
ber killed in battle in this second
Balkan war is as high as 100000 men
figure which is rcckoncd TO exceed
by 10000 the loss in killed of the Bull
garians, Servians. and Greeks combined
in their campaign against the Turks,
1t is reckoned also that the money
cost of this second war was much
greater than that of the first. The cost
OF the two to the Balkan people il
reckoned at sl,250 100000. Besides these
losses arc the incalculable damages to
the public health, the public morals, to
private property, and to the harvest
prospects for the present year. Large
districts have been ravaged and their
crops completely destroyed. In the
home countries, especially Of Bulgaria
and Of Servia, the fields have been
largely neglected and the crops un-
planted, in others there was some
planting, but little tillage, there being
few to care for the crops except the
women and children, An American
correspondent in the region devastated
by the wars, who has also visited the
agricultural districts Of Bulgaria, eI-
presses very serious apprehension of a
famine in that whole region the ensu.
ing winter, because of the failure to
raise crops.
The signing OF the peace treaty is
the main thing, and this happily has
been done, but there remain many in
tricate questions to be settled; the
questions of boundary, Of compensa-
tion, and of adjustments. All these will
take time to settle, and will undoubtcd-
ly be the subject of more or less fric-
ton. Rumania comes out triumphant,
getting all she claimed, at no cost.
The appalling blunder Of Bulgaria in
provoking a war with her Servian and
Greek allies is one of the CHASTITY mis-
takes Of which history is full. Bull,
garia will be accorded a small lttoral
on the Aegean Sea, but her high claims
Of retaining Saloniki are absolutely set
aside, and she has even had to give up
her claims TO kavala. If she had been
able to retain Kavala she might have
been in position to contest the CONNER
cial supremacy Of the Greeks in
Saloniki, but being obliged to give up
Kavala, the Greeks will remain su-
preme upon that sea.
In fact, the Greeks will come out Of
the war with a greater and more un-
disputed gain than any Of the Balkan
allies, Montenegro was robbed of the
fruits of her victory in her capture Of
Skutari. Bulgaria by her own folly
forfeited her claims of extension on the
Aegean. Servia has been baked by
Austria and by the European powers in
her efforts to establish herself on the
Adriatic, but the Greeks have been
thwarted in no direction, and they may
get considerable number of the
islands in the Aegean Sea- The fruits
Of Grecian valor appear to be firmly
secured to the Grecian people.
