NOT LEGITIMATE BUSINESS.

Our attention has been called by Mr..
]. A. Goodhue, who has, for q number
of years represented the Geneva Nur-
sery in this region, to small handful
which we are informed has, been widely
distributed throughout the Territory.
1t is a curiosity ia its way. and the OBJ
ject which pronapted its issuance Is too
palpable to be mistaken. 1t is headed
utah Nursety Company" an organl-
cation which, we understand, consti-
tutes the agency in this part of the
country for the aforesaid Geneva Nur-
sery. It also presents the names of
the stockholders of the association AS
follows: Phillip A. Dix, Justin A. Good
hue, Charles 8. Varian and Frank
Pierce. The third name on the list is,
for obvious reasons, rendered conspic-
uous by underscoring with heavy
black line.
The remainder of the handful is de-
voted to an explanation to the effect
that &c. s. Varian" with heavy line
under the name), associated with Mr..
J. A. Goodhue, who has been repre-
senting the Geneva Nursery Company, .
did on a certain dale make q Statement
derogstory to the Mormon Church.
Mr.. Variants expression, which il is un-
necessary to reproduce, is given YER
batim. -.. -
1t is hardly needful to state that the
handbill Is anonymous, because it will
be patent to any person who will give
it moments, consideration that it is
not such publication as an ordinary
individual would have any appreciable
eagerness to afaix ais name to. Being Of

viewed with contempt. --.rz
We cannot sustain any process that
is not direct and straightforward, and
tempt to build up q business on the
ruins of another. i
In expressing this view we believe we
give utterarsce 10 the sentiment OF the
Lat,er-day Saints at large. 1t cannot
be admitted to- the legitimate province
of private individuals to, anonymously
or otherwise, drag into business mat
ters the public utterances of other per-
sons for the Interior purpose of increas-
ing their pecuniary profits. Such a
process is imbedded in selhshness, with
no reference to the public good.
So emphatic is the Ne,0S on this point
that if appiico ton had been mad to
have any publication p inted here of
the character of the one in question it
would have been respectfully declined,
on the ground that this office could net
give to it, even in business way, the
color Of it's approval.
An appeal to the prejudice of the
community to further private ends, is
highly improper, and can have no ulti-
mate beneficial effect upon the interests
of those who resort 10 it. Mr.. Varian's
views are his own property and there is
legitimate method OF dealing with his
public Gtterances. That Is not the
method employed in this instance, and
we have given this prominence to it be-
cause the public manner in which it has
been treated, by the distribution of
handbills, has made 1t public property,
and we do not wish!an idea to gain cur
rency that such doings have sanction or
countenanceF of the community of
Lstter-dsy Saints.-NeaOs.

A WOMAN WHO GROWS ORCHIDS

Another Instance OF What Feminine
Pluck AMI Determination Can DO.
One of the most successful orchid
growers in the neighborhood of New
York is woman. She is a graduate
of the public schools, who began to
teach at twenty. She worked her way
through grade after grade of the city
classes. until at twenty-seven she was
splendid specimen of womanhood,
healthy, rosy, pleasant to look upon. in
receipt of one thousand dollars salary,
and engaged. She married at the end of
a school year, went upon summer brid-
al tour. and came home in September
a widow. Her husband had died of a
sudden fever, and her place was filled.
There was no vacancy that would give
her above half the wages she had re-
signed in June. Her father had left
hera little scrubby pine land in Jersey,
and she had not spent quite all her
savings on her trousseau. She thought
out the situation, and went into floricult-
ure. Her greenhouses were small at
the start, but she built up reputation
for rare flowers, and for bringing
them into the city done up in dainty
ways. There is nobody who orgini-
ates more quaint conceits in orchid
baskets or rose punches. or who seems
more thoroughly at home and content
in her work. She has taken two
younger sisters into partnership. and
on her frequent trips to the city is one
of the ple"o sntest figures to meet ON
the street. Eliza Putnam, HcatOn.

THE WIFE'S PROPERTY.
"A Wrong Once Established Is, as q Rule
OF Long Endurance.

A Wrong Once Established Is, as q Rule.
OF Long Endurance.
The old law which gave every hus-
band the right to the actual ownership
of all his wife's personal property and
the use of all her real estate, made the
possession of wife's property seem so
mu:h matter of course that it is not
easy even for otherwise decent and ex-
cellent men to accept the new order of
things. Some men do so cheerfully,
and gladly accede to it; others, who
zap. car respectable to the world. make
the home wretchcd when a wife de-
ciines to surrender her property.
Among the more brutal classes it often
comes to downrig ht violence. The
Chicago daily papers record the follow
ing:
Mrs. Matthias Busch was murdered
tonight by her husband. saloon
keeper. The deed was done at their
home. in the presence of their child
and the aunt of the victim. Busch
was arrested. knife in hand. He had
been folled in his desire TO control ten
thousand dollars in real estate. that
had been willcd his wife by her
fatEer."
Brutal eases like these are frequent
ly reported. But there are more cases
where a husband endeavors to secure
by intimidation or slow torment
what the law has taken out of his
hands. 1t takes long to uproot the
strength of an old law or custom, and
to outgrow prejudice. But. in this
case. it would promote respect for a
wife's legal property rights, if honor.
able men. who have come into posses
sion of their wife's property. under
the law. or in any other way, would
make 4 legal return of it to the wife.
Such action would help to set need
ed example. The fact that the wife is
now entitled to her own property
would be noted-and, by and by. i,
will be seen to De rs dishOnorable and
wrong for man to keep property OF
his wife's as to keep that of any one
else. A gain greater than the money
itself will be the increased respec,
which wife can feel for her husband

WILD SPECULATION.

How Real Estate Il Bough. and Sold In
Southern Californ q.
A little white insect known as tho
scale bug is boring away into the
great California boom and before very
long the wind will be let out of that
balloon. The scale bug confines its
ravages to orange groves. and its dew
astations are incalculablc. 1t re-
quires time and patience to build Il
grove up to 4 bearing stage. and it is
disheartening to see bug appear with
your first crop. They feed on the
leaves and burrow in the tendri!s. and
when their work is complete the leaf
curls up. shrivels, and the tree dies
within short time. A prominent St.
Louis manufacturer recently invested
$25. 900 in an orange grove, near Los
Angeles. which suffered from tho
blight and had to be sold at heavy
loss. Spectators then took the prop
erty, cleared of the useless trees. and
after converting it into town lots
offered it for sale at the rate of
5000 a front foot. The splendid
advantages of the site were ex-
tolled in the papers. and after
an Eastern excursion had arrived a
special train was run to the place.
Cappers had roped every moneycd
stranger into going to the sale; wine
flowed as freely as ice-water in ST
Louis. and when the auction opened.
the Eastern people began bidding
recklessly until you would think they
were after lots situated on Broadway,

secured earnest money, and the next

HEALTH OF AMERICAN WOMEN.

The Probable Effects Of Suffrage Upon
womaL's Physical Condition Discussed.
The exercise of the suffrage would
presumably tend to improve. rather
than to impair, the health OF the aver
age woman.
There is nothing dangerous to
health in reading political articles in
the daily papers. in discussing political
questions with relations or friends, OF
in walking the distance of a few hun
dred yards and depositing piece of
paper in a box. Many women now do
all these things without any suffering
in consequence. On the contrary, the
reasonable exercise of any faculty. and
of all the faculties, of mind and body,
is positively beneficial to man or
woman. NERVOUS energy run to
waste" is the secret of much of the las
situde and sickness prevalent among
American women.
"For my own part" says Sir Spen-
Ger Wells, one of the greatest liv.
ING physicians, q think women

they have been accustomed to In
times past If cverwork sometimes
leads to disease, it is morally more
wholesome to work into it than to
lounge into it. and if some medical
practitioners have observed cases
where mental overstrain has led to dis
ease, l can not deny that l also have
at long intervals seen such eases. But

much amusement" This is true of
the unmarried and the young: but it
is no less true of the married and the
middle-aged. Nervous diseases of
every kind are most often caused by
confinement to a narrow circle OF
thoughts and duties.
A brisk conversation about politics
is stimulating and healthy in itself, but
is especially valuable in distracting the
attention from the petty. harassing de-
tails of daily life. There is no more
certain cure for nervousness and its
baleful attendants. hypochondria and
dyspepsia, than the excitement of in
