life unbearable in the state of Michigan.
Another bill presented by Representative
KNUDsoN comes as an attachment to the
penal code, and provides as follows
Section 22l, Islander of females defined
A person who In the presence and hearing
of another, other than the female slandered,
whether such female be present or not, ma
liciously speaks of or oncerning any female OF
the age OF ten G0) years or upward, not pub
lie prostitute, any false or defamatory words or
language, which Injuries or impairs the char
acter of such female for virtue or chastity, and
which exposes such female to hatred, contempt
or ridicule, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Sec. 221, h-Any SANDER Tor speaking having
the tendency or effect mentioned in preceding
section is to be deemed malicious if no justif-
cation therefor is shown, and is justified when
the language charged as 81 anderous, false, or
defamatory IS true and was spoken for good
motives and for justifiable ends.
Sec. 22i, c-No conviction can be had under
any OF the provisions of this chapter upon tho
testimony of the female slandered unsupported
by other evidence, but must be proven by the
evidence of at least two (2) persons other than
such female who heard and understood the
language charged as slanderous, or by the ad-
missions Of the defendants.
Nobody is going to say anything in this
connection which could be construed into
casting any reflection on the tongue of any
woman in the world. and yet everybody
Will at once conclude that no self respect
ing woman would live IN state where she
would be bound and gagged, as 1t were,
and prevented from exercising one OF the
dearest rights of the sex. 1t is simply out
rageous to restrict women, in their every
day conversation, to praises of each other.
If these bills shall become law Minnesota
will be the best state in the union to avoid.

THE ARGUMENT for the justice of general
taxation for school purposes is thus stated
by Prof. HUXLEY:
cannot speak from my own knowledge, but
this world a small reddish person, entirely
without gold spoon in my mouth. II foot
was not at once set upon me as squalling nui
sance, it was either the natural affection of
those about me, which certainly had done
nothing to deserve, or the fear of the law which
ages before my birth was painfully built up by
society into which I intruded, that prevented
that catastrophe. Without the organization of
society, should probably have had nothing but
a flint axe and an indifferent hut TO call nv
own, and even these would be mine only so
long as no stronger savage came my way. So
that If society, having quite gratuitously done
all these things for me, aslzes me in turn to do
something for its preservation, even If that
something is to contribute to the teaching of
other peoples children, really feel ashamed
10 say no. And if were not ashamed I cannot
say that society would be dealing unjustly with
me in converting the moral obligation into a
legal one. There is manifest unfairness in
letting all the burdens be borne by the willing
horse.
Society does so much for the Individual
that he cannot fairly complain when he is
required to do something for society. We
seem to have it pretty much our own way
on the proposition that the school bonds
ought to be voted by rousing majority.

not deprive any one of labor, for our
own labor earns every dollars worth
of goods that are imported. Hitherto,
the farmers have been slow to comprehend
that imported goods are just as much the
product of American labor and have fur
nished just as much work to Americans as
If the goods had been made in America.
In the production of agricultural exports,
there are employed about two million men
to produce the surplus of about $500, 900, 600
worth OF farm goods annually exported.
The pay for these exports is $500, 600
worth of manufactured goods. But il
these manufactured goods were to be made
here instead of the farm products that are
raised and exchanged for them, only one
fifth as many men would be employed as
are now employed in producing the farm
surplus. The talk of cutting off the i'm
ports and manufacturing them here instead,
signifies the complete ruin of the already
depressed industry Of farming. The farm
crop is all wages, while the manufactured
product is but one-f fifth wages. Machinery
does four hfths of the work in manufac-
ture. To replace the farm surplus by cut
ting off the importation of manufactures
that pay for sit, and to produce the
manufactured goods here instead, would
simply be to deprive two million farmers Of
work and to supply work to one-tifth that
number of wage-earners in factories. This
is the real meaning Of cutting off imports,
and is what the farmers have been blindly
voting to accomplish for years. 1t is no
more and 10 less true now, though a partial
reaction of the farmers against their self
accepted impoverishment has come at last,
that the appeal of the tariff reform party
should be made to the farmers; for while
freedom of exchange would be an immeas-
urable benefit to all people in the nation, to
the farmers it is their only path to escape
from their impending ruin.
This great fact indicates too, that it may
be policy to choose western man for the
Democratic candidate in 1892. New York
could get the nomination if her factions
would unite on one man. If they will not
do this it is not unlikely that a western
man viii get the nomination.

RENTS.

Are not the landlords of this city-we
mean the owners Of dwelling houses to
disseminating mistake in maintaining
the nigh rates of rent? They will probably
answer in the negative, and sustain them
selves by saying they are not asking too
much as long as they can get what they
ask. But this explanation will not be sat
isfactory. The fable of the goose that laid
the golden egg may apply in this matter.
1t is asserted by those who claim to know
that rents for residences are higher in Salt
Lake than in any other city west of Chi
cago, the conveniences and distance from
the business centre being taken into &C
count. The statement being true, we sug-
gest that the house owners are making a
mistake financially, and are doing some
thing which will lniure the city. Rents in
the city being exorbitant, one result will
certainly follow-people will go out Of town
to live. The landlord may be able to get his
extravagant price to-day, because the ten
ant cannot help himself, but the latter will
soon be able to help himself, and the
greedy landlord will find his house unoccu
pied. A drive through the suburbs and
beyond the corporation limits, should warn
the owners of city houses that they are
driving customers beyond their reach.
Scores of dwelling houses are going up
south, west and north of the city, and
while most of them are small and occupied
| by day laborers, many are pretentious
buildings, such as would rent in the city
for from $50 to 800 per month. We learn
that the rent of these houses is just about
half what is asked for similar houses within
a mile of the postoffice. Unless rents shall
be reduced here there will be erected on The
outskirts many more of these dwellings
and a considerable proportion of the city:
population will go with them rather thar
pay city landlords from Is to "a per cent
per annum on their investments.
It may be here remarked that the sigr
ITO Rent" which could not be found her
year ago, is frequently seen nowadays
and the seasons building has hardly begun
This is not because the population ha
diminished, but because lessees have sough
and found cheaper houses further from tn
business centre. Reasonable rents vii
fetch people here, and the opposite vii
drive them away. VIII it not be better il
the long run, for the landlords to reduc
rents and retain tenants, than to ask S
much that people cannot afford to live i
the city!

HELENA ALSO.

1t seems that Helena, Montana, is also
cursed by reckless and incompetent mu-
nicipal government, and the good people
propose to do what The decent men of Salt
Lake are going to do next winter. The
Helena papers publish card signed by
thirty of the foremost citizens, members Of
both political parties, calling a convention
of ''the honest voters of the city to form
ally nominate citizens ticket for officers
of the city to be elected at the coming
spring election" The call goes on to state:
1--WE believe the preponderance of opinion
in our city to-day to be that the time has
come to remove politics from the admins
tration of city affairs, and to put only rep
resentative citizens in charge and hold
them to strict business responsibility for
their official integrity and usefulness. The
deplorable condition of city finances and
the reckless and wasteful expenditure of
the city's money under past mismanage-
ment doably accentuates the necessity for
making the very best Of existing law by
putting only intelligent and reliable men
on guard"
About next January you will read SINH
lar call in Sal Lake, and there will be such
response to it as will astonish the politi-
cal manipulators and bosses, and fairly as
found the members of the present incompe-
tent and extravagant government. And
when it comes to the polls you will see all
good men, Gentiles and Mormons, Repubr-
cans and Democrats, proudly supporting
the citizens ticket, made up of capable,
honest, trustworthy, responsible men,
without regard to party, and in whom all
taxpayers will have confidence. The citi-
zens are eager for an opportunity to repu-
date the present gang and the party which
placed it in power.

FARMERS WILL BE DEMOCRATS.

AT the PALMER ratification meeting one
prominent speaker remarked that 1.-The agri-
cultural west is the natural breeding ground
for Democratic principles, and until De-
mocracyis rooted deep in the western soil
it Will not attain the bloom and fruitage of
permanent control of the union.''
There are two strong and pertinent
truths in that statement. 1t is, in the first
place, the great agricultural interest of this
country that should be appealed to against
the monopoly of high tariffs, for that inter-
est is the chief sufferer. The farmers have
been deluded with the notion that it is
hurtful to their prosperity when manufac-
tured goods are imported in large quaint
ties. But as fast as the farmers learn that
these imported goods are the pay for ex-
ported goods, chiefly farm products, they
cease to believe that it is an injury TO the
country TO export beef and wheat and to
receive clothing and groceries in return.
When this exchange of the products of
labor is understood, no man believes that
importing foreign goods is harmful, but on
the contrary believes it beneficial to any
couasry One fourth of the products of
American farms cannot be consumed in
America, and must be exported. When
thus sent abroad, the pay for these pro-
ducts does not consist in gold or silver, for
these metals will purchase less in America
than in other countries. The pay for ex-
ported farm products consists Of various
commodities that the people of this country
need. The imports are the pay for the eX-
ports. If farmer raises a bushel of
wheat that he cannot consume aud sends il
abroad for yard of cloth that he can con-
sumo, he is really cloth manufacturer as
to the final result of his labor. All i'm
ports are really tie products of Amer
ican labor. and importing goods does

We BELIEVE that if the city council were
to order the sidewalk of just one block on
East Temple street paved with sandstone
slabs, the problem of sidewalk pavement
for the entire business portion of that
street would be solved, both as to the ma
terial and the paving itself. One block
being paved as suggested, the others could
not afford to lay anything but stone, nor
could they afford to delay the laying of that.

Indiana Man.

Ex-senator Reagan of Texas is reported
as having said in Washington the other
day that in the next democratic national
convention the Texas delegation will de-
mand the selection of q western man for
president, and incidentally, Mr.. Reagan
dropped the remark that the choice of
the delegation might fall upon ex-Gov-
ernor Gray of Indiana.
The interview suggests two reflections
a. the manifest disposition of southern
and western democrats to look elsewhere
than TO the East for presidential candi-
date, and (2) the comparative availability
of various westerners whose names have
been suggested in connection with the
nomination.
That there is a deep-seated prejudice
against what is called in the South and
West the "Wall-st. influence" in politics
must be admitted even by New Workers,
and faced. That prejudice is less effective
than it would be were the electoral vote
of New York not necessary to democratic
success. But it exists, nevertheless. and
will some day be affective in nominating
conventions. If New York is to retain
the influence which her commanding po-
stion and importance entitled her 10 in
national politics, she must demonstrate
Enthusiastically to the rest of the country
that the narrow financial expression of
Wall-st is not by any means fairly reflect
i've of the sentiment of her best thinkers,
or that the individual views of some OF
her public men all justify the conclusion
that all her statesmen are under what
Senator Reagan calls the domination" of
the money power.
But if this false impression, which has
unfortunately and unjustly been given to
the country, should be strong enough to in
huence the party's choice of a presidential
candidate at next years convention, and
il is deemed best that the high honor
should go to western man, the logic OF
the situation will point to Ex-Governor
Gray OF Indiana as the strongest available
candidate. Mr.. Gray has demonstrated
his ability to carry his own doubtful state.
He is the recognized leader of his party in
the state. He has creditablv filed the
highest Office in the state. He is in touch
with the people, thorough democrat. an
able statesman and first-class politician.
His nomination will insure the electoral
vote of Indiana to the democracy, enlist
the solid support of the party in the West
and South, and bring more votes 10 the
ticket in New York than would the NOM
ination of any other western democrat.
IL we can't have an eastern democrat at
the head of the ticket, then let US have
Isaac p. Gray of Indiana.

Capt. Powers of Terre Haute, treasurer
of the national committee OF the peoples
party, was in the city Friday making
rangements to locate the state hesdqusrt-
ers of the new party here. At the Cincin-
natl convention Capt. Powers was one Of
the leaders in the movement for a new
party. He is avigorous, middle aged man
with an aggressive temperament and he
will no doubt manage the campaign OF the
peoples party in this state in 1892.

his time to the interests OF the new party.

cHoYNSKI WINS EASILY.
The Australian Knocked Out in the Shortest
Record

The Australian Knocked Out In the Shortest
Time Record.
MELBOURNE. May 26.-The prize fight
which came off here yesterday between
Choynski and Tooley was one of the
shortest combats ever recorded in the
history of the ring. The result showed
that Tooley was no match for Chonyski,
the latter knocking him out in a minute
and eleven seconds. From the moment the
men entered the ring Choynski adopted
bustling tactics, and in a short time he
drove Tooley to the ropes. When the
men faced each other in the second round
it was further demonstrated that Choyn-
ski was the superior of Tooley. The lat
ter was completely overpowered, and
when eleven seconds of the time allotted
for the second round had expired, Choyn-
ski made a drive at Tooley and knocked
him completely out Choynski was the
favorite in the betting at odds of 3 to
and received no punishment at all.
