ought to be > able to borrow money on the strength of the good times that will be here before we know it Congress Con-gress is going to reenact the McKinley bilL There is no doubt about i for the legislature has passed a memorial to congress that is going to fix it all right and all the poverty that was brought upon the country when Mr Wilsons tariff measure superceded Mr McKinleys will all disappear in a twinkling and everybody will have dollars dol-lars to throw at the birds and even if they are silver dollars and they wont be throwing much in consequence still theyll have them to throw Its surprising sur-prising how a mans wheel will revolve and present a new view to people just like a roller calendar with the machinery ma-chinery all hid in a little box but which turns round every day and hides the figure we saw yesterday while anew I a-new one confronts us A day or two ago Senator Allison thought the yawning yawn-ing abyss of hopeless despair that envelopes en-velopes the land like an impenetrable cloud of darkness was all caused by the demonetization of silver and introduced intro-duced a memorial to congress demanding demand-ing that those lazy fellows down in I Washington come off their perch andre and-re tore the white metal to the end that peace and happiness might return to the land He was all right then but the Democrats stole his thunder in both houses with the result that his silver memorial is still hanging fire in the house Meanwhile the senator from Weber has entirely changed his views His wheels have revolved with the calendar cal-endar and he has found out that the hard times are not so directly due to unfavorable silver legislation as he thought Its the tariff that ails us and so hes going to have the McKinley McKin-ley bill reenacted He didnt have my difficulty in getting his memorial through under Republican motion p c ither without the Democrats of either house stealing the march on him by being the lirst to move in its passage but its transition in the house was attended by circumstances that will not put the Republican majority of that body in the best light Imaginable when the journal comes to 1 be printed for the edification of the people that is if it is made to chron jrle the actual proceedings The speaker tried to and did enforce gag rule refused to allow the subject to be debated and declared a motion to in order to allow adjourn was not alow 4 the vote to be taken and was sustained sus-tained in Ms unfairness by the Republican Re-publican majority But the memorial is passed and good times are coming and thats the main thing Irregularity Irregular-ity of proceeding cuts very little figure In view of that consoling thought The Democrats had another warm tilt with their friends the Republicans yesterday in the house I was over 4 the contests for seats from Utah Theater The-ater came up as a special order at 230 for the consideration of the majority ma-jority and minority reports of the committee com-mittee on rules which had been instructed in-structed to report a substitutefor rule 49 providing for the hearing of the contests After a warm debate in which < the Democrats led by Monson of Cache made a determined stand for fairness the majority report was adopted adop-ted by a strict party vote on roll call The Republicans had caucused and decided to stand together against any claims for consideration which the Democrats might make and they did so The rule as adopteddirects the hearing of the contest by the committee commit-tee on elections Considerable of the time of the house consumed in argument upon the was nates refusal to concur in the amendments made by the house the previous day to senate hill 14 providing provid-ing for the holding of the supreme court I was finally decided that the house should not recede so the bill is tied up for future action and the court will convene tomorrow upon authority i which of Senator Jones joint resolution was rushed through though in the last moments of the session Among the bills introduced in the house are two of importance One is to regulate the operation of mines for the better protection of the lives of miners and the other is designed as a measure f safety for all the people as it places rigid restrictions upon the a1 i < v > alificatmits and examination of physicians Yesterdays session of the senate was devoted t the consideration of the measures providing for the holding of sessions of the supreme court of the state and in waiting the action of the house on the bill The document passed the senate a day or two ago 111 d was sent the house which emasculated emascu-lated it added to it and took there from until the senator who drafted i did not know it when i was handed to him The senate got even by notifying thk lower house of its nonconcurrence and when the latter body refused to raced ra-ced from the position taken its communication com-munication was very promptly tabled Jones then drafted a joint resolution which provides the court may go tow to-w rk on Monday which received the concurrence of both houses was engrossed 4 en-grossed and passed t the governor for his signature Two bills only were introduced In the upper house yesterday one by Senator Booth providing for a board of land commissioners the other by Chidester exempting women from service ser-vice < on juries Senators Warrum Warner Barnes Allison and Zundel were absent from the session yesterday but a there were no party measures up for consideration consid-eration their absence cut no figure I was expected that the fire and police bill would be called up at the afternoon after-noon session hut the committee received ceived word that the mayor and several sev-eral members of the council together with a number of the Salt Lake commission com-mission wanted to be heard so consideration consid-eration was postponed I is understood tha a delegation from Ogden will also come down and make a statement in relation t the passage of the bill The senate committee on appropriations appropria-tions and claims will hold a meeting tomorrow morning at 10 oclock at which a full attendance is desired A meeting ofa similar committee from the house is announced at the same hour An important measure is to be considered and all members are requested quested to report SENATE The morning session of the senate was a nonproductive one the house having done nothing which could be acted upon Prayer w offered by Rev Dana W Bartlett after which Booth caked i any message from the house had been received in relation to the bill providing for the fixing of the term of the supreme court Upon receiving re-ceiving a negative reply the senator I made a motion for a recess and the senate took a rest until 2 oclock unti AFTERNOON SESSION Upon reconvening Senator Booth called for the regular order and the secretary read a communication from the house returning senate bill 1 substitute for an act for the of the organization supreme court fixing the terms thereof and providing pro-viding for the appointment of a clerk deputy clerk and bailiffs and defining I their duties and fixing their salaries I This bill was amended and passed i the house The major portion of the j I changes were of a minor character but I I some very important alterations were noted I note instance in section 2 the following follow-ing was added Where a decision in a cause is rendered during a recess of the court and the opinion signed by I j the judges or a majority of them I shall have been fled with the clerk i shall operate as the judgment of the court The clerk shall give notice to the respective parties and the time for petition for shall filing a petton rehearing shal date from the time of such notice provided that the same may be extended ex-tended by any justice for cause shown Section 7 2 was amended by striking out the amount of salary to be paid the clerk and inserting such salary as may hereafter be provided by law Section 17 which provided for a fee I of 10 for admission to the bar of the supreme court was amended to read 25In In the same section the clause providing pro-viding for the payment of 25 per cent of all fees for the benefit of the law library was stricken out The section requiring the attendance of the sheriff of Salt Lake county was I also expunged I Senator Booth moved the senate concur I con-cur in all amendments save those 1 referring to the attendance of sheriffs I and the changing of fees and disposition I disposi-tion of the same ton Mr Booth in support of this motion I said he did not deem it wise to compel com-pel the attendance of sheriffs from allover over the state as the change made by the house provided I would be a good thing to have the law read that I their services were at the command of the court but there was no need of the attendance In relation to the other matter that of raising the fee for the admission of attorneys he thought the figure made by the house I an outrageous one I would result the instead in cuttine down revenue I of increasing it Senator Jones offered an amendment I by moving to refer the bill to the committee com-mittee on judiciary for a revision but afterwards withdrew it on the statement state-ment that the committee mentioned had done all the work on the matter it deemed necessary and did not care to go any further Booths motion prevailed The senator then offered a motion for the aiDDointment of a conference committee of three trom each house and included in the same a provision that the house be notified of this action at once together with the statement that the senate refused to concur in the amendments of the house Upon a suggestion by Sutherland the first portion of the motion was withdrawn and the senate merely notified the house of the failure of its amendments to pass TO ELECT SENATORS House joint resolution No1 a substitute sub-stitute for senate joint resolution No 1

the state reimburse him for the expenditure diture The petition a referred to the committee on appropriations and claims The house returned the supreme court bill at this point and with it the message mes-sage that it would not concur with the senate whereat the message was tabled ta-bled without ceremony This action on the part of the inferior infer-ior body called for Immediate attention atten-tion and heroic action Jones was equal to the emergency He drew and introduced senate joint resolution No 5 which provides that the first term of the supreme court shall begin on the 20th and that the court may transact such business as may come before i The resolution was passed and sent to the house which after jimmying for two hours finally returned it concurred and in The measure was engrossed signed by the president of the senate and sent to the executive eecutve House bill No5 having passed both bodies was engrossed and signed by the president and sent to the executive execu-tive The senate then adjourned THE HOUSE Representative Wilson made his maiden effort on the floor of the house yesterday immediately after that body convened He arose and moved that when the house adjourn it be at 4 oclock His first motion was rewarded re-warded with success for the motion carried but was later reconsidered A message from the senate announced an-nounced the adoption by the upper house of S J R No5 by Booth providing pro-viding for a joint committee to draft a bill fixing the salaries of all state and county officers SPECIAL ORDER Taylor called up the special order set for 230 being the consideration of the majority and minority reports of the I rules committee on substitute for rule 49 He moved the adoption of the majority ma-jority report directing that contests for seats be heard before the committee commit-tee on elections I Monson moved to substitute the minority I mi-nority report providing for such hearing hear-ing before committee of the whole I From the outset it was apparent the Republican side did not intend to allow the views of the Democratic minority any consideration Monson spoke in favor of the substi tute urging that unless all the mem hers heard the evidence they could not vote intelligently upon the question of who was entitled to the Utah seats involved and for the hearing of which the rule was esnecialli designed He thought the house In hearing the present pres-ent contests would establish a precedent prece-dent which would in all probability < be followed In the future in like cases He did not doubt the integrity of the present members but was not certain of the membership of future legislatures He thought i safest ito establish a precedent which if followed in future would leave no loophole for defeating the ends of justice Besides if the matter were left to the elections committee he thought there was very little likelihood I but the recommendation of a majority of that committee would be adopted by the house no matter what difference I of opinion the minority of the committee commit-tee might hold He considered it of the highest importance that all the members mem-bers hear the evidence Taylor chairman of the rules committee com-mittee explained that the elections committee would simply inquire into the facts and submit them to the house Caziar favored the minority report re-port This brought Taylor to his feet again He was afraid there was going to be a division of the Republican side He again explained the majority report re-port was in the interest of time The evidence was so voluminous that the committee of the whole would consume hours considering i The smaller committee com-mittee he held could go through it much more rapidly He asserted once more that the committee was to simply sim-ply examine the evidence and report its finding to the house Howard wanted to know what that passage of the rule in the majority report re-port meant which directed that i make a recommendation to the house Taylor was confused but replied that i was simply a matter of form and sat down much agitated lest the minority mi-nority report prevail Sorensen interjected the query as to what the effect would be if the committee com-mittee hearing the contests were to return re-turn different findings The house he thought would have to adopt one or the other and it could t nyt do so intelligently intel-ligently without hearing l the evidence evi-dence the thing the minority report wanted done at once He thought this would be the case and that i time was to be considered the minority report re-port had better be adopted now MONSON REPLIES Monson made another strong argument argu-ment in favor of the minority report He thought Taylors argument that the house could not afford to spend the I time necessary to hear the evidence tme was not valid the house had wasted II a great deal of time over much less important matters He knew of no matter so important as that the 1 sacredness of the election franchise should be preserved I was a matter mat-ter of so much greater important than anything else the house would have to consider that no matter how much time was consumed it would be well spent i justice prevailed pre-vailed in the end Taylor had once united in a unanimous report of a rule providing for just what he was contending I I con-tending That rule had not been accepted ac-cepted by the house because it was not I I in keeping with the dignity of the house that attorneys should argue on the floor That contingency had been obviated by proposing to hear the contests con-tests in committee of the whole yet Taylor was now drawing out after having agreed to the former rule He thought the gentlemans action significant sig-nificant Again he did not doubt the integrity of any member yet leaving the matter to a small committee left open a possibility of a miscarriage of justice since it was possible for the smaller committee to become warped by outside influence He did not think such a thing would be done but there was a possibility of it and to avoid any such possibility it was imperitive the members should all hear the evidence Maughn favored the minority report He could not vote intelligently or feel surehe was voting for justice unless he heard the evidence Harris contributed con-tributed his usual quota of irrelevant and incompetent remarks and upon the question being put Monson called for the ayes and nays The minority report was lost by a strictly party vote all the Republicans voting against and all the Democrats for The majority report was then adopted and the elections committee com-mittee will hear the contests DECLINED TO RECEDE A message from the senate notified the house that the senate had concurred concur-red in the house amendments to S B 1 with a few exceptions The house after losing much time in senseless wrangle refused to recede and the bill was sent back to the senate a conference I confer-ence committee being subsequently appointed I ap-pointed The bill is the one designed for the government of the supreme court which consumed so much time the previous day I was desired to get the bill through to enable the court to begin proceedings under its provisions provi-sions tomorrow but at adjournment it was still in nossession of the conference confer-ence committee and a joint resolution had to be adopted to enable the court to convene Howards motion to reconsider the vote by which Wilsons motion to adjourn ad-journ at 4 had carried was agreed to H B 30 appropriating 5000 for the expenses of the session came up on committee report which was adopted and the bill passed the third reading The same course was followed on committee com-mittee reports in S J M No1 and H J 11 NO1 H B No5 providing
