WOMEN IN NEW YORK POLITICS.

1t IS praiseworthy labor which prominent
New York ladies have undertaken They
have caught the reform spirit in politics.
and overcoming their diffidence in such
matters, have gone in to defeat the Tam
many municipal ticket. The ladies cannot
vote, but they can induce others to vote as
they desire, and they are making it their
business to personally solicit tneir friends
and acquaintances to oppose the eTammany
crowd. We do not believe the efforts of
the ladies will avail. Tammany is almost
as disreputable, if not quite as corrupt, as
it was twenty years ago, when decent peo-
pie came to the front and put some of the
thieves and scoundrels in prison and drove
others out of the country but the Tam
many political org anization is the strongest
In the country and we do not think that
any combination with sufficient force to
break it can be formed at this time. The
advantages are with it. 1t has the offices !;
it controls the patronage; it has the money
and knows how to spend it; it has
an army of voters who cannot be
alienated. for their ''bread and dinner
depend largely upon their loyalty. Tam
many is Irish, and the Irish do not propose
to lose New York, To be boss of Tam
many is to hold bigger and more power
full and more lucrative position than to be
the director of either of the great national
parties. While Tammany may be local
organization, it can elect or defeat Presi-
aspiring politicians beyond the borders of
New York state. 1t is hardly probable
that such party can be defeated in it's own
home, aud within the shadow of it's own
hall, by the efforts Of a few women, ear
nest and intelligent and logical as those
women may be. If this were possible,
Tammauy would not be the mighty organ
ization that it is, and its leaders would not
be the snreWd and mastery political man.
ayers that they are.
| 1t is good sign, however, when the
bright and influential women OF great city
become interested in politics to such a
degree that they will come out openly
and work for the overthrow of dishonesty
and corruption in municipal government.
1t is suggestive Of bringing into politics an
influence which will be controlled less by
|
to inaugurate and sustain purity and hon
esty in the local administration. If the
New York ladies had begun this work ten
years ago, the city might now be under an
honest government, and the state and ma
ton freed from an organization which is
never reliable, true or trustworthy, aid
which always figures in political contests
as an uncertain factor or element, caring
less for men and party than it docs for the
spoils, for the gathering Of which Tammany
is maintained. Ii the ladies shall not be
discouraged by their failure on this coca
sion, and will continue their commendable
work, in time taey may be the means OF
doing the city and the nation at large grea,
service; in time they may be able to in
fiueEce votes enough to overcome Tam
many and compel that organization tt
loosen the grip which it has upon the
greatest city and the greatest state in tho
republic.

this right is crimeithat strikes down fair

hands of whoever seeks to injure them.
The man who maintains, as the Liberal
candidate does, that these conditions are
not punishments, either mas no conception
of American freedom or he conceals his
convictions.
Yet it is only short time since Mr..
GOODWIN professed to be ready to meet the
Mormons half way if they would only
place themselves frankly and fairly
within the just laws of the Republic" He
even simulated compassion for their suffer
ings. His exact words now return to
shame him.
Is it not time for the chiefs of the organiza-
ton to determine upon one Of two courses,
either to leave the United States or to place
themselves frankly AID fairly within the just
laws Of the republic? & Their property
is IN jeopardy, their people by hundreds are in
prison or in hiding. {" And what Is the re-

Tribune, Feo. s, 1889.
But what says the Liberal candidate to-
day. Not that there are Mormon law
breakers that need attention, and that the
people here have not placed themselves
within the law, but that BRIGHAM YOUNG
once preached about the kingdom of GoD,
and that this fact in some way proves that
the Mormons are disloyal. Men who never
saw BRIGHAM You've are charged by the
Liberal candidate with the responsibility OF
the formers words, uttered a quarter of g
century since, and that, too, with the inter.

STILL FALLING.

Down it goes. Of course we refer to the
price of silver The quotation on Satnr-
day was Sl.03 per ounce, or 26 cents per
ounce less than the coin value. Thus does
the Republican law which was to do so
much for the mining industry and for the
people who wanted more money, perform
its work. Thus are the Democrats who
opposed the bill as fraud and cheat being
INDICATED. II it were possible for legisla-
tion to close the silver mines it is believed
the Republican party, at the command of
Wall street, would provide tho necessary
laws. The value that silver has to day is
the value which attaches to it as a product,
mercantile commodity, q metal used in
the manufactures; the fact that some of it
may be coined into money does not add to
the value in the least If the coin feature
were entirely eliminated silver would
be worth in the market no more
and no less than it is. The price
would be regulated by the com
mercial law of supply and demand and
by the ability of spectators and sharpers
to manipulate the market This will be
the condition of things until silver mas been
made money metal and given a respect
able and uneauivocal place in the coinage
system. So long as it shall remain with
one man or with any number of men to
say that the silver in a dollar shall be
worth 20 cents or even l cent less than a
dollar, we can have no silver coinage law
that will be satisfactory, that will be just
or that will help the silver mining industry
and we can have no silver dollars that will
be reputable
The new silver law is hunbug and
those who devised it, those who advocated
it and those who passed it are either ignor-
ant or humbugs.

MR.. GOoDWIN's REASONING.

To show the utter depravity of the peo-
pie who he says, are unfit to lay their
'scurvy hands on the American ballot, MIR.
GOODWIN quotes from long forgotten SER
mon of BRIGHAM YOUNG:
There is no man on this earth that can re-
ceive this kingdom of GOD in his heart and he
governed according 10 the laws of that kingdom
without being governed and controlled in all
temporal matters.
Well, what does that means THERE'S not
Christian who has uttered the PRAYER
"Tby kingdom come" but holds the same
doctrine. Not one that believes in CHRIST
but maintains that mans religion should
control his actions in all things. spiritual oil.
temporal. Religion were no good otherwise; !;
but to argue that these words refer to poll
tics only; that the Mormons believe
them inspired; that so believing they are
bound to obey them; and that If the leader
of the church should advise them to vote this
way or that way, they would obey. aud are
therefore unfit to vote at all, or to live in
this country,-this is specimen of reason
ing that teggars all descriptions of soph-
istry.
linen follows another exhibition:
When THE HERALD says we would punish
men who have committed no crime and have
done no wrong, it talks like an idiot, We would
not punish them at all. We would simply
prohibit them from exercising the right which
they have deliberately absolved themselves
from.
1t is both easy and pleasant for fanatic
to ease his conscience, as the witch burners
did. by explaining that the prosecutions he
intiicts on others are not punishments at
all, being merited by his victims. One of
the highest privileges of American citizen
ship is the right to vote. Denial of that
privilege without the amplest justification
is humiliation to any citizen and is a
crime akin to treason. The right to &C
quire land is the basis of hopeful industry
in any country, denial Of which is crime

GAME to explain the grounds upon which
he gave his solemn word and honor to Con-
gress that polygamy was dead in Utah. The
fact was apparent to everybody in Utah
and was admitted DO all who were honest.
Only the linial descendent of ANANIAs who
presidss over the editorial columns of our
unestesmed morning contemporary ever
thought of denying that Mr.. GAME
spoke truly, and his denial doesn't
count in this community. For Mr..
GAME to explain the grounds for his as
sertion would have been like stating the
grounds for saying that the Great Salt
Lake is in Utah. that the sun rises and
sets, that the editor of the Tribune is a
rabid fanatic or that any other thing
whose truth is patent is true.

THE POWER OF RELIGION.

In nothing, perhaps, is it given to man ever to
arrive AT the goal he has proposed to himself;
his glory is in advancing towards it.
With what disgust the artist throws
aside his brush and palette as his prac-
ticed eye detects the wide disparagemert
between the landscape spread out before
him and its counterfeit presentment on his
canvas! How angrily the sculptor casts
away the chisel and mallet as he finds that
he has failed to catch the graceful poise of
his beautiful model, or carve from the
yielding stone the more than classic fea-
ture or well turned limbs! Both painters
initiated nature closely enough to satisfy,
we might think, all human ambition; yet,
converse with those who have succeeded
best, and it will be found that they are as
far from the attainment of their ideal-the
goal they have proposed for themselves-as
the bungling amateur is from his; and all
are made to feel how imperfect is their i'm
itation of nature. And as it is with the
painter or the sculptor, so it is with the
moralists and the religionists. AS the for
mer fail to reproduce landscape or
a statute altogether true to nature,
so the latter fail to live morally in such a
way as to reproduce the ideal life they hold
up before them. No man has vet become
so perfect as to be altogether satisfied with
his course of life, no more than the best
artist is perfectly satisfied with the pro-
dnction of his brush; snd it often happens
that the best men deplore most their i'm
| boiy fai1 to
goal they have proposed to themselves.
ts But Because of this failure to attain to
the ideal, discouraging as it may seem,
shall that ideal be lowered! Shall it be de-
based! No, thousand times no. AS he
who aims at star will most assuredly
shoot higher than he who aims at a mole.
hill, SO will he who has an exalted ideal and
seeks earnestly to attain to it arrive at a
higher state of excellence, even if he fall
short of il. than one who has but de-
| based ideal
Perfection may scarcely be hoped for in
this world in any sphere of human ex-
perience, there is so much that makes
againstit. There are the appetites, passions
and weaknesses inherited from long line'of
imperfect ancestors; for no truer thing was
ever expressed by figure of speech than
that the imperfections of the fathers are
reproduced in the children-''that the
fathers eat sour grapes aud the children's
teeth are put on edge" Then, again, there
is SO much error in the world, so
much that is false in history, SO
much that is incorrect in prac-
tice, so much false education, that
the wonder is-not that there are so many
who fail to arrive at the goal which thew
themselves or society set for them, but

But such is the weakness of humanity
that even strong men are conscious of the

its present power and sustain it at need"
Hence we have Moses, DAVID, SOLOMON
and all the prophets pleading for aid di-

with all his strength, with the conscious
ness of his own virtues and native power
even he cried aloud for help in the hour OF
his trial No wonder then that we of viler
clay should feel the need of some external
support and exclaim with BURNS:
Oh Thou Great Governor of all below,
If may dare lifted eye TO Thee,

Or still the tumult of the raging sea-

self that gives birth to the religious senti-
ment Man constantly feels the need of
more than human aid, something more than
the encouragement of friends, the counsel
OF the wise, the example and appreciation
OF his fellows or the fear of censure. In
seeking for that aid the soul goes beyond
the visible world; it turns to GoD. ''And
such is the nature of man." says a noted
writer, that when he sincerely asks this
support he obtains it, That is, seeking it
is almost sufficient to secure it." These
facts-the fact that man needs more than
human aid to enable him to perform what
he conceives his duty to be; and the fact
that seeking that aid through prayer to
GoD he obtains it, confirm the reality oil

del and the soothing of the atheist; and
he who would wantonly destroy this sure
prop of humanity may be properly re-
garded as the enemy of his race.
