For' a number of quadrennial periods there has been discontent with the manner of representation in the Repub lican national conventions. It has been seen that the delegates from the South ern States, joined to but a few dele gates from Northern States, could force a nomination which would bo simply disastrous. Four years ago, Sonator Quay submitted a plan for a now basis, whereby each State would be accorded four delegates at large, and one dele gate additional for each ten thousand votes cast for the Republican candi dates at the previous Presidential elec tion. Something similar had been pro posed from time to time, but always tho reform was put over to the succeed ing National convention. But nt every succeeding convention the question again goes over. At tho present convention thero wore some minor points raised on special repre sentations, as from Porto Rico and Ha waii, but tho general basis of repre sentation was not touched: the old basis was allowed to stand, and whole platoons of States, from which no pos sible electoral vote can come to the Republican ticket, had just as much strength as Republican States of like Congressional representation. Of course, this tlmo it made no dif ference, as thcro was no opposition' on either candidate, but that is precisely the time to fix the representation on the right basis; there could be no charge that any candidate's interests were af fected, and. the question could be fixed on tho absolute basis of Republican principle. Under the present basis of represent ; atlon; the thirteen States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, cast 302 votes; un der the Quay proposition (which was in fact Chairman Payne's plan) those Slates would have had 173 votes, a shrinkage of 129 votes. The other (tho Republican) States would have added to their vote the strength those non Reptibllcan Stales would have lost. And they should have that representa tion, because they are the Stales rc pended upon to elect the ticket: there fore, they should have the say as to Its make-up. A paper by Mr. Peter J. Hoban in a recent number of the The Independent states as an objection to the Payne plan thaf under Its provisions no uni form system can be prescribed for the election of delegates from districts. It is true that there would be annoying ratios in the different districts, with some adjustments necessary by the State Republican committees, and these might cause discontent. In order to meet this difficulty, he proposes to have the Republican States send four dele gates at large, and two delegates for every Representative district, as at present, whilo the Democratic States send but two delegates at large, and one from each Representative district. That would result In cutting down the delegates from the States from 952 to 7S7, of which number the States voting for McKlnley In 1900 would have G22 nnd the States voting that year for Mr. Bryan would send ICS. Thai would be a pretty fair basis, and Us advantage In slmipliclty Is apparent. Under the present plan, Utah has six delegates! under tho Hoban plan it would have tho same; under tho Payno plan, It would havo had this year nine delegates. Under any plan of reform, Its relative power would be much In creased, and thero would be offered hero, as In other States, the induce ment Of double representation to stay in the Republican column over what the State would have if it went Demo cratic. We think that it was a very serious mistake not to seize the present most opportune time to fix this matter of representation on a basis that would give the Republican voters the control of their National convention. The Re publican States certainly should be given control, unhampered by a repre sentation from Democratic States which is not only tremendously above the Republican voting strength therein, is greater proportionately than Repub licans have in Republican States, but Is out of touch with the real Re j publican sentiment of the country. A Milwaukee Judge has varied the usual thing in labor Injunctions by en joining a Arm from employing any other than union labor. The Injunction the people have most been acquainted with Is that restraining members of the union from one or another course of action. In the Milwaukee case It ap pears that the firm in question had signed an agreement to employ none but union workmen, and the court sim ply holds them to their agreement, which Is perfectly fair. And so, Messrs, Perdlcarls and Var ley have been released, sure enough; tho bandit Ralsull surrenders them for a valuable consideration, and for con cessions still more valuable if they are energetically and Judiciously worked. The release was effected through the medlary of another tribal chief, as It would have bpen the height of unwis dom to pay over anything to Rnisull while he held the captives. And since this medlary Is -a chief who Is claimed by Ihe French as their adherent, the French now claim the credit of iuanag- , . . . . ing this release, though they paid none of the ransom and made rio engage ments to fulfill any of the conditions which the bandit demanded. It will be remembered that Mr. Perdlcarls wrote rather a gushing letter soon after his enpture, In praise of his captor. And now It would bo of Interest to know whether, after he Is at liberty, he will Indorse that letter, or whether a re vised edition In much different vein would not be vastly more to hla taste It Ii4 quite comprehensible that Perdl carls, a captive, and Perdlcarls, a free man, would havo altogether different views. UTAH'S MINERAL STATEM EFJT. The Tribune presents this morning the statement compiled by B. IT. Tatem, Bsq., acsayer In charge of the United States Asm y Office at Helena, of the mineral product of Utah for the year T903. 4t Is In detail, and will be of v-ory great Interest to all of Utah's mining men. The statement Is In somewhat dif ferent form from the usual compilations, particularly In (he reckoning of sliver at the old coinage ratio of $1.2929, which in later years has been much disused. But this will be easily commuted into market value by any who wish to arrive at tho usual result, by computing sliver cents per ounce, tho average price of last year. Thc statement covers the product of the different counties, separately; of the dlfferortt metal?, alio, and of the manner of treatment of the ore6. It Is com mended to oil Interested, ao well worthy of their attention and confidence. The showing which It makes for Utah is an excellent one, and It Is made In first-rate fcrm. It shows Utah to bo one of rhc great mining States, and the bfauty of It Is that the State gains year after year In value of output; In reserves of ore In sight in the developed mlrteo; and in the new discoveries of mines which in their turn will be the State's great producers. THE TAXATION OF FRANCHISES. In a conversation In this city the other day with a gentleman of wide experience snnd marked legal ability, the question of taxation under our State Constitution came up. It .was conceded that under this Instrument It Is probably Impossible to tax franchises, as such; even though they may be the best-paying bu?lnescs of the State. It was thought possible, however, for the Legislature to reach them In theNew York manner, by "the ingenious device," as a late writer puis It, of calling these franchloes taxable real estate. Some years ago, the local assewore In New York City Included In the assess ment of a corporation the value of Its franchise. But the courts held that though the capital slock lo taxable, the market value of Its shares Is not, and that the franchise of a, corporation, though undeniably property, constitutes no portion of its capital, and therefore is not taxable. In another case, the court held that this untaxable franchise ex tended to the use of the streets, which wc9 a valuable asset, but not taxable. The kinds or divisions of franchises aro . three; the franchise to exist, the franchise to act or to do busi ness, and the franchise to make use of certain privileges as to use of public streets, to dig below them, or to go above them. Since, there fore. It was Impossible to reach the real values of franchises as such, the "In genious device" referred to was adopted, and the franchise lax "Illustrates the utility of legal fictions," as Edwin R. A. Sellgman puts It in an article In the Review of Revlewe, I But after this had all been planned, the question arose whether the tax so provided should be asrsesyed and levied by local or by State authority. The law first provided that the local authorities should do 1U But It was quickly amend ed, on the suggestion of corporations themselves, that If such tax were proper it should be laid by general and not local authority; and the State was entrusted with this power and duty. But the cor porations reversed themselves at once on this point, and fought the tax for the very reason that it had been levied by State officials, claiming that the local tax officials must do the work If It Is done at all. But the courts upheld the law, and the power of the State The Court of Appeals held that "the grant of a general franchise to a corpor ation to live and do business gives no right to occupy the public highways without special authority; that a fran chise, whether general or special. Is tax able as a, species of property; and that the law Imposing such a tax Is a viola lion neither of the Stnte nor of the Fed eral Constitution. With reference to the home-rule contention, the court draws a line of distinction between local officers whose functions are purely local, and State officials authorized to carry out the provisions of a new system of taxa tion, requiring the exercise of new func tions which never belonged to local as sessors. In short, the law was upheld In every point " An appeal was taken to the United States Supreme Court, and the case Is to be argued next October, tho State officials being confident of gaining tho case. The stake at Issue Is very great; In the additional revenue to be derived from street railways and gas companies the Increase Is something like a million and a half in New York City, and on all corporations throughout the State it must be at least double that. In Utah the corporation franchise tax would not be by any means fo Important proportionately as it Is in New York; but still it would be a substantial sum. It might be worth while for the Legisla ture to test its powers In this direction and havo the question settled. If It is found that under our moth-eaten, an cient, ambiguous, and contradictory Constitution, franchises cannot be taxed as in New York, this would be another powerful argument for tho assembling of a ne Constitutional convention which would authorize a competent board of (say) five of the best lawyers In the State to draft a Constitution, and then let tho convention adopt It and ad journ. Certainly, In many ways our present Constitution Is a delusion, an oppression, and a snar THE LATEST NAVAL VICTORY. The Japanese 'appear to have won another Important naval victory over the Russian fleet, off Port Arthur. A vessel of the Peresvlet type was sunk, tho Sevastopol disabled, and a cruiser on ,fire wno towed into the Inner harbor. The loss of the battleship of-the Peres vlet type Is a severe one. The Peres vlet Is of 12.G7-I tons displacement and 11.500 Indicated horse power; armor ton Inches thick, and her armory Is four 10 Inch rifles, eleven C-lnch quick-firing guns; twenty 3-lnch quick-firers; and thirty smaller quick-firing guns. It Is a type of the very best In the Russian navy, and the loss of such a battleship Is a serious one. The Sevastopol, which Is reported dis abled, Is of 10.9G0 tons displacement, 13,C0O tons horse power, slxteen-lnoh armor, carries four 12-lnch cannon; twelve G-lnch quick-firing guna, and thirty-four smaller qulck-firjrs, besides auxiliary batteries. Tho disablement of this vessel is a severe one In tho de pleted state of the Russian fleet in tho East. It has been announced from Rupnia that in case the1 fall of Port Arthur were Imminent, tho Russian fieet there would not be caught like rats in a trap, but would mako a dash for liberty. It may be, therefore, that this soitle by that fieet means far more than a disas trous naval engagement; It may pre sago the fall of the great fortress. But whether It has this significance or not, certain It Is that It marks another se vere blow to Russia. GERMANY SEEKS AMERICAN METHODS. In Germany they are moving for a system of commercial agents as at taches to their consulates. It seems to be against the German Idea of dignity to have the consuls themselves as the business agents of their countrymen In general, but thai is what they want to have in their commercial attaches. The United States consular system Is w-hat has started this move In Ger many. Our consuls keep an eye on the trade of the country where they are stationed, and report on opportunities for American Imports, and for the ex pansion of American trade. "In this special function," as a recent report has It, "the precedence for zeal and efficiency Is quite generally conceded to the consular service of the United States." It is therefore quite natural to read that the German trade pupbllcatlons urge the following of American meth ods; that . the new commercial agents "refrain Trom overindulgence In aca demic reports," (a well-recognlzed weakness of the German clerkly offi cial,) "and devote their energies to the spocial task of -finding new markets for German goods, reporting exactly the way such merchandise should be made, marked, packed, shipped, and the price for which It should be of fered." In short, those German com mercial agents should become Ameri can In so far as It Is possible. The pre-eminence of the Americana In this field of consular aid to the ex port trade of their country, and the business sense displayed by the con suls Is not generally ascribed In Ger many "to any superior system of gov ernmental control," nor even to any regular training or instruction in the course they so well pursiie, but "to lndfvldual Initiative and industry, the quick, accurate grasp of a new-situation, and the ability to recognize oppor tunities and turn them to practical account, which in Germany is regarded as distinctive attributes of American character." All of which Is eminently satisfactory to Americans to hear. It Is a bit of praise and Imitation (the sincere form of flattery) which should be balm to the wounded spirits of tho Europeanlzed Americans who have so much fault to find with our consular system, and who are so constantly moving to have It changed and made over Into a sys tem so like to that of which the Ger mans are tired and which they propose to make over on American lines, that what the Germans are discarding and what tho Europeanlzed Americans would have their country adopt, could not be told apart. Panama Is being drawn ever more closely Into the "sphere of Influence" of the United States. The new postal ar rangements with the canal zone will gradually draw the whole of Panama into assimilation; the dominance of Uncle Sam will more and more be felt, and almost before she knows It, Pana ma will be a Territory of the United States. And that Is Just what she should be, and remain, with the General Government in undisputed and com plete sovereignty. In strong proof of the great abund ance of unemployed money In tho country. Is the Item in tho New York bank statement of yesterday, which shows that the deposits in tho banks are now greater than evcr before known, reaching, In the banks of that city, the enormous and unprecedented total of $1,143,314,100. It Is truly an enormous amount, which ought to be In active industry nnd employ. The vital reports of the city for the week Just closed show more than dou ble as many births as deaths, which will please those who fear "race sui cide" to hear. The births were twenly- i six, of which fourteen wore male and twelve female. The deaths numbered exactly half tho births; nine male and four female. There are no contagious diseases prevalent, and but few cases of any disease. The city Is remarkably free from ailments, and Is looking its beat. TRADE, BUSINESS, AND FINANCE. The special event of Interest during the week hao been the developments re garding the Moffat road, building hither from Denver. The filing of a mortgage on that road's possessions wa noted on Thursday, amounting to 522,500.000; on the same day Mr. Moffat published a card to the "laiockers" in Denver, In viting thc-m to present their bills If they had any, and announcing anew his de termination to build the road through from Denver-to Salt Lake. Orders for steel to lay the track thirty miles fur ther, on this side of the divide, were placed, and the purpose of pushing along as rapidly as possible to the coal fields, was announced. This road, besides being of much ad vantage to the city In. extending its wholesale trade Into a new field nnd building up a tributary, region that Is rich In natural resources, will open speedy transportation service to a wide belt of country that nov lacks It. The eastern portion of Utah will be espe cially benefited by the construction of this road; that is a fine and rich part of the Slate, and even before the road can bo built there, the Indian reservation will be opened to settlement, and' a con siderable population will bo added to what Is already there, which 13 both a good nucleus, and of the sturdy, des-ir-ablc stock so essential In developing a new region strong, capable folk, who know the practical requirements of the country. Apparently In close- but not avowed relation to this Moffat road from Den ver, comes the Western Pacific, In which renewed interest was awakened during the week, In conenctlon with tho fiuggestlon of the admirable through line the two projects would make when those rails meet In this city, and which The Tribune was the first to speak of, some time ago. The Western Pacific has Its surveys made through to this city from San Francisco, Its articles of Incorpora tion were filed last year In both Nthis State and Nevada, at a cost of $12,500 In each State and thero aro unmistakable signs that the Western Pacific Is a live project. In tho meantime, the San Pedro. Los, Angeles & Salt Lako railroad (the Salt Lake route) is our sure enough road. Work on It Is progressing at a rate that Is wholly satisfactory; the prospect now Is that we can take the through' trip to Los Angeles by Christmas day, and get our first shipments) of the new orange crop over the new line. The railroad news adds to tho excel lent general features of the business and financial condltons of this State. The week closes In a spell of cool weather which will, conserve the snow in the hills, and which will further ensure the abundance of the crops, for which the prospects have all along been so good. The range will be helped by the cool spell, and the live stock prospects were never better. The mines of the State continue strongly their very great record. Half a million dollars, a week, and more, Is their steady contribution to the general wealth and the lubrication of the wheels of trade. The smelters are keeping well up with their enterprising response to the needs of the mines, by constant en largements, up-to-date improvements, and the adoption of the most approved Inventions and appliances. The settlements on these accounts are all made In this city,' and they make a most substantial addition to the busi ness activity. Money Is plenty, and the bank clearances show substantially the same volume as the record made by the great activity of last year. Merchandiz ing has been characterized by clearance sales, and large business has been done, to little gain. The wholesale trade Is good, and the feeling on tho clearing up of the wool marketings is jubilant. The building operations of the season continue to attract universal attention by their great activity, and their general prevalence throughout the city. Every where one sees dwelling houses of good grade going up, and in many cases those of much pretension In size and style; while In the business district there are many fine structures finishing and In process of erection. A fine new block Just west of the Dcoly block Is In con templation, and will probably be put in during the year. In the country at large, the seasonable lethargy of summer has trade In Its grip; but the feeling Is decidedly more confi dent than It has been for a few months pasL Anticipations of a lively fall trade, growing out of the Improved crop out look, are more generally expressed, and the feeling Is taking on more cheerful ness. The labor situation is getting bet ter, and railway earnings are making a more favorable showing this month than they have done In any former month of the current year. Tho bank clearances In New York show very much better the past week than they have done on any former week pf this year, and for some months be fore. In that city they were but 6.7 per cent below those of the corresponding week laet year, and in the cities outside of New York they were but 2.3 per cent below. The New York bank statement, Issued yesterday, shows a gain of seventeen millions In loans, of twenty-one millions In deposits, of four millions in specie, and of nearly five millions In tho re serves, which is a showing well calcu lated to brace up a faltering market, and It did so far a time. But the stocks are not well sustained, and the prices weak en after small raises. Money is still flowing Into New York from the Interior, In almost unprecedented' quantities; the Wall Street Journal says "there is more money in the country than there Mas two years ago, and there is Jess em ployment for it; hence, the money comes to New York to draw 2 per cent Inter est." The same authority quotes the head of one of the largest and most conservative business houses In New York no snylng: "I see no occasion for worry In the situ ation now. Liquidation has entirely ceased In the market, and If we have reasonably good crops this year, railroad stocks are cheap. The credit situation Is entirely sound. Some people are appa rently alarmed over the large loans of the banks, but they forget that this yoar we are bofrovlng nothing abroad, and that tho trust companies are not lending money anywhere like as much as usual. Consequently the visible borrowings form much the larger part of the total which Is not usual. The bond market Is good except that we cannot get iusuf flclent supply of first-class bonds with which' to meet the demand. I do not fx pect much movement in stocks in the near future. After election we shall he better able to see ahead. Prices of good .securities, however, are low." ENGLI3H AND AMERICEN GIRLS. From tho AVashlngton Post. About a score of English maids and matrons, well bred, Intelligent, and of the upper ten, were lately in evidence In the lobby of one of Washington's best hostelrles for about a week. During tho stay of the fair ones from abroad they were the objects of much curious atten tion. People seemed to know at a glance that they were foreigners. "Yes, tho women of England do look queer alongside ours," said the wife of a Congressman, when appealed to for an explanation. "There are several impor tant points of difference. In the first place, they do not as a rule possess good figures, neither do they carry' themselves with the grace and ease that are so common with all classes of wo men In this country. But the particular distinction, after all, Is In the matter of dress. An Englishwoman's clothes scarcely ever sit on her becomingly, even if they were made to fit, which Is rare. They are not up to the American standard In the knowledge of arranging themselves In garments that show off tho good points In the female form. Of the French chic In dress they are dense ly Ignorant. See that young British fe male over there with the long neck, which, Instead of being partly concealed, is wholly revealed by the absence of a collar. No Yankee girl would ever sin against good taste that way." NOTES ABOUT MEN. At the Democratic Stato convention held In Albany David B. Hill was busy every' moment of the day. Toward evening he thought ho would secure a few minutes' respite and a little rest while being shaved. As he climbed into the barber's chair he handed the tonaorlal artist a quarter of a dollar. "Is this a tip, sir?" Inquired tho knight of tho shears. "No," replied Mr. II 11 1. "that's hush money. Now, not a word!" Tho son of Millionaire Anson Phelps Stokes, who devotes most of his time to the east side settlements in New York City, Is said to have lost his heart to a beautiful lsraelltlsh maiden of the ghetto. Some declare that ho Is engaged to her; others merely surmise It. Of course, both sides deny It Just now. Stokes Is ovor six feet tall and quite attenuated. He Is one of the thinnest men In New York. His family are noted for their eccentricities. Sir Thomas LIpton will visit thl3 coun try again this year, according to J. Keith ley Crother, his manager, who has arrived In Now York. While It Is still tho Irish baronet's ambition to lift the cup, his visit will have nothing to do with this mattor. Sir Thomas wants to see the St. Louis fair, and Is looking forward, Mr Crother says, with .much pleasure to the renewal of the many friendships he made while here before. Sir Thomas has lately returned from a Mediterranean cruise. Ho had not been In good health before ho started, but the trip has benefited him greatly. Anti-Folk newspapers In Missouri are making desperate efforts to check tho St. Louis man's boom for nomination as Gov ernor. One story, now being Industriously circulated, relates how when Mr. Folk was In Moberly ho ordered a highball from the hotel bar. Before ho could drink it some ministers called to pay their re spects, and Mr. Folk covered the glaas with his hat. After tho preachers had departed the highball was sent to Its des tination. Tho candidate's friends deny tho story, but declare that If Mr. Folk feels llko taking a drink ho would not be de terred from doing so by all tho parsons In Missouri.
