The case OF Minor vs.. Happerset, p

OF showing that the provisions of the

said that 81 persons born c- raturalized

jurisdiction Thereon are citizens of the
United States and OF the State wherein
they reside. are by the words used, an
atiirmance Of the constitution contended
for by appellant. The decision proceeds
upon an exactly opposite theory and de-
MES the doctrine contendei for and there
fore il does not follow that the Use oi the
word citizen in the enabling act con-
veys the idea or carries with it the prop
osition that the Legislature has the right
to confer the privilege of suffrage upon
female citizens, nor can it be true unless
it be further eontende1 that at the time
of the passage of the Organic Act Of the
Territory, the word citizen necessarily
implied female as well a. male citi-
zen, when used as empowering. the
Legislature 20 grant the privilege vi vot-
ing to all citizens.
While there is no contention that the
word "citizen" before and since the
adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment
included women, vet the authority re-
ferred to expressly declares that the
,, right of suffrage was not one of the priv.
ileges or immunities of citizenship guar
anteed by that Amendment.

Continuous illness since the argument
of this case. prevents me from going more
= at large into the subject than | have al
ready done, but in view of the considera

what was the intent of Congress by thu
1 Organic Act of the Territory in the re
r spect referred to and to give force to tina
! intent.
l In constituting agreements merely be
Q tween parties, and even more especially
y when giving construction to a statute
the thing which We are to arrive at witt
as much certainty as we are able, is tn,
r thought which it was intended to express
0 and the intent Of the power prescribing
0 the rule, and we are to enforce this in
q tent as it existed at the time it wa.
t made.
o In 1852, when this act was passed. the

c That the rule contended for might b'

The Suffrage Decision.

The decision of the Supreme Court,
rendered last Tuesday, in the case OF
Nevada NJ. Bloomer vs.. John Todd and
others, involving the right of women
to vote, is no surprise to the people. 1t
was anticipated that the decision would
be in support of the Court below, on
the grounds stated by Judge Nash in
his review Of the question as presented
in his Court. If the intent of Congress
10 to be literally construed when it con-
ferred vitality upon Territorial legisla-
ton, there seems to have been no other
conclusion to arrive at or course for
the Court to pursue.
While many advocates of impair
tial suffrage would have preferred that
the experiment of woman's equality
should continue till the matter was
brought before the people for final de-
cision in framing State Constitution,
there are but few who will admit that
the test, 80 far Is it was made, was not
altogether satisfactory. The greatest
objection urged against the passage Of
the law was that woman was too emo
tional to WELD political power with
prudence or moderation. This, we re-
greet to say, proved true; but the exer-
else of the privilege was too brief to
decide whether or not this characteris-
tic would disappear as women became
accustomed to the use of political
power. The very women who were
opposed to the engafting Of the law
upon our political system, were the

sectarian dogmas prescribing individ.
ual conduct, and this, if successful,
would doubtless have been followed by
an effort to control individual belief
and run it in the narrow ruts worn by

long advocate of the measure, it will
shed no tears over the inevitable result
of such narrow-minded policy.

suOwoS mOIc likely, u DC the line OF
oppression than that of liberty and
law; and constitutions, should they
change with equal facility, would be-
come alike oppressive and unendur-
able.
1t is the duty of court in constru-
ing a statute to give effect to the in
tent of the legislature even though in
doing 80 a seeming violence is done to
some OF the words employed. The in
tent is the law no matter what form
of words is used in expressing that in
tent. Primarily this intent is to be
found in the words OF the law itself
and the presumption attaches that the
language used will furnish conclusive
expression OF that intent, but exami-
nation by the Courts often demon
strates the fact that men use words in
such manner as would establish a rule
contrary or widely ut vari-
ance with the intent of the law-making
power. While the legislature should
be considered to mean what they have
said and leave no room for construc-
lion, yet, growing out of the subject
matter and facts existing at the time
when the law is made, such intention
is not always found in the mere words
used. In all cases the entire enact
ment upon the same subject or upon
others OF similar character should be
together in order to ascer-
ain the intent of the law-making
power.

ing possible. We are cited as opposed
to the views here expressed to the case
OF Murphy vs.. Ramsey, ia U. S. Re-
ports, Is.
There were five cases OF similar char
acter carried from the Supreme Court OF
Utah to the Supreme Court of the United
States, and embraced in the opinion here
referred to.
set out by Mr.. Justice Matthews, and
the contention grew out of the act OF Con-
gress known as the "Edmunds Act 4"
whereby Board Of Commissioners was
appointed for the Territory OF Utah
growing out Of the condition of affairs
there relating to the subject of polygamy
in that Territory. This Board had ex-
tended that act so as to interfere with
and control the action Of registration Of
ficers and affect the qualification of vot-
ers for that Territory. While it is true
that it appears in that case that under
the law of Utah women possessed the
privilege of voting, yet that question was
not argued before the Supreme Court
and was not in any manner passed upon
by that Court. Mr.. Justice Matthews,
who delivered the opinion OF the Court,
is careful to say that on the examination
OF the 9th Section of the act of March 22.
1882, providing for the appointment and
prescribing the duties and powers of that
board, it shows that they have no func-
tons whatever to perform in respect to
the qualification OF voters much less to
prescribe any qualification of voters as
condition of registration. 1t is true that
the court in that case consider the ques-
tons involved without reference to the
question of the right Of females to vote
under the laws of Utah and place it upon
the ground that the board were poweress
in that regard and therefore we consid-
er that decision as without force in this
regard. And it appears therefrom con-
clusively that the Supreme Court by that
decision furnished no ground whatever
for the contention here made that the |
laws of Utah authorizing woman suffrage |
has received the sanction Of that Court. /

The Pilot last week was little more
severe on Mr.. Hoard than the facts justi-
fed, and it certainly went beyond pro-
priety in personal illusions to Mr.. Hoard,
who is a whole-souled generous man.
true to his friends and above any petty
meanness. The cordial relations exist
ing between Mr.. Hoard and the writer
for some years and the many acts of kind
ness experienced at his hands make the
criticism referred to appear in light
which is much more annoying to the per-
son who penned it then it can possibly
be to the person who was the subject of
it. There can be this said in extenua-
ton: The editor of the Pilot is a tariff
reformer, free trader even, and his
views on this subject antedate any recent
declaration ofparties. Mr. Hoard's state
ments regarding the Mills bill was I'M
der the circumstances, in effect per-
sonal allusion and as such provoked per-
sonal retort, which was unkind, ungen-
erous and even undeserved, and in view
of personal acquaintance indefensibie. 1t
was written directly after Mr. Hoards
speech and in spirit provoked by Mr.
Hoard's comments, SO that in measure
he is responsible.

THE Sentinel seeks to make point on
the present advalorem rates of duty on the
fact that as the price of salt has declined
the specific duty reduced to advalorem
rates appear large in comparison. This is
poor reasoning. The consumer has the
right to demand that the ratio OF reduction
IN price should enure to bis benefit. If by
improved processes the cost of produc-
ton of salt is one-third what it was in
1850 the cost to the consumer should be
reduced in the same proportion. But the
duty prevents this. If in 1860 he paid
one-eighth more to the home manufac-
turer than what he could purchase for.
eign salt for, his wrong is none the less
now if the same amount of tax increases
the price of salt one-third. He has a
right to enjoy the reduction and this a
specific duty prevents. 1t is poor reason
ing to assume that a man should not
grumble to pay 81 per barrel for salt
now if the price was $3.50 twenty. five
years ago: if improved methods of manu-
facture have reduced the cost of produc-
ton III greater ratio.

SCHILLING is one of the most adroit
men IN the country to popularize fall
lacy. His greenback harangue on Mon
day night was, on the premises laid
down, almost irrefutable. And still it is
the veriest nonsense. The only safe
guard holders of currency have, is the
actual deposit of coin for the redemption
Of bills. Confidence is what makes it
possible to keep bills ahoat, and as soon
as this confidence is destroyed there is
an instant demand for redemption. The
history of every country proves the utter
impracticability of Schilling's financial
theory. 1t would be simply ruinous and
result in constantly recurring panics. 1t
Las been tried and the bitter experience
It has taught in every case will prevent
its ever being made the policy of any safe
administration.
There never was better speech based
on false principles Of political economy
than that of Monday night. Analyze il
and it falls to pieces, as it rests on pure
fallacy.

One of the queer features of existing
conditions is that manufacturers have for
years been paying wages right up to the
limit of their profits. This is the pro-
tectiorist view. And still wages keep
advancing and the price of manufacture
ed articles keeps growing less. There
must be something wrong with the facts
for the reason that we are informed that
there is no values not made by labor
The arguments Of the protectionists are
the greatest mass of inconsistencies
known to time
