THE GOVERNORS IMPUDENCE.

The Utah commission is now engaged in
the work of redistricting the territory for
legislative purposes, as authorized by the
recent act of Congress. That is to say, the
commission is nominally engaged in this
work, but it would almost seem that the
board had abdicated in favor of Governor
THOMAS, who appears TO be managing the
business in the interest of the Liberal
party. We don't know whether the com
mission solicited his counsel and aid. or
he impudently forced himself onto it,
but that he is the most oficious person in
the arrangement of the districts is apparent,
aud it is plain that his efforts are all in the
direction of aid to the Liberal organization.
However the gentleman got into the DELHI
erations, we know that it is no place
for him, that his appearance there
is ILL advised and impudent, and under
the circumstances almost illegal 1t
will be remembered that THOMAS made
sneaking trip to Westinghouse fact evrey-
thing the fellow does is sneaking-for the
purpose of securing the passage of this bill
and to have the work assigned to him. He
had himself designated in the bill, and as
usual, having an eye to the main chance,
induced the insertion of handsome appro-
priation for service which ought not to
have cost the government four bits. When
1T came to action on the bill, the cunning
hand OF the thrifty official was discovered:
1t was seen that no legitimate use for the
money could be found, and that the gov
ernor was not the proper person to arrange

MORALITY AND RELIGION.

Mr.. GOODWIN SMITH, in q recent number
of the Forum, discusses the question:
"Will morality survive religion7n That a
close relation has hitherto existed between
religious faith and morality will, he says,
hardly be doubted; and since there is such a
close alliance between them Mr.. SMITH in
clines to the opinion, though he puts his
statement in the form of az interrogation.
that the present spread of religions
agnosticism will carry with it moral
agnosticism as well. He points to the
reign of moral anarchy which followed the
downfall Of religion in Greece and Rome,
and later in Paris, as discouraging to the
belief that morality will survive religion;
and furthermore ahlrms that philosophers
have, through all ages, sought in vain for
sanction of morality independent of re-
hgion. 1.-THE generation after the next
says the author, may perhaps see agnos-
ticism, moral as well religious, tried on a
clear field. By that time, possibly, science,
whose kingdom seems now to have come,
will have solved in her own way the mys-
terry of existence. In the meantime society
will be held together by established opinion,
by municipal law, and by natural affection
There is nothing pessimistic in the views
of Mr.. SMITH, or want Of faith in the future
of humanity, or in the benevoience of the
power by which human destiny is con-
trolled. 1.-THE only fear suggested" he re-
marks, lis that society may have bad
quarter of an hour during the transition,
IS it has had more than once before"
No fault can be found with Mr.. SMITHS
views, especially with his hopeful conclu-
sion that in the struggle which he sees i'm
pending in the world the outcome will be
all right for humanity and for truth But
we think more positive ground could be
taken as to the dependence of morality upon
religion. Twill morality survive religion?"
AS well, in our opinion, ask: Will the stream
survive the fountain from which it runs,
upon which it is dependent for its existence?
There is no question here. Dry up the
fountain, and there is but one thing to be-
fall the stream-it will cease to flow. So
would it be with morality if it were posi-
Bile TO pluck out the religious sentiment
from the human heart. We would not say
that all religious agnostics are now moral
sgnostfcs, or, in other words, immoral; but
we do say that persons destitute of moral
sense are nearly always agnostics in re-
ligion, and in thousand ways may be seen
g logical connection between religious faith
and morality. Because we have some ag-
nostics in religion whose morals are well
nigh blameless, it is not fair to conclude
that morality can exist independent Of re-
ligious faith. 1t must be remembered that
these men have been and are influenced,
whether conscious of it or not, by the re-

a oABLEGRAM from London would indi-
cate that the British fear they have opened
their arms too widely in their tender of

IF A writer in the Asidtic QUARTERLY Re
Uiet0 is to he believed, the Mohammedan
women have more rights than English
women possess. He asserts that Islam
gives greater privileges than Christianity,
and that the position of women in England
and most European countries was, up to a
few years ago, much worse than in Moham-
medan countries for centuries. Her per-
son and property are both much better pro-
tected, and she has undeniable control of
her children. She is allowed a divorce
when her husband leaves her without
means of subsistence, when he is guilty of
habitual cruelty, when he forces her to do
labor which is considered degrading for a
woman in her position, and when he is in
the habit Of threatening her with bodily in
jury. In these cases he must return the
dowry ne received with her. Notwith-
standing the ease with which divorce is Sc.
cured, there is vastly less among the Co.
900, coo Mohammedans of India than among
the go 600 Christians in England.

THE APPORTIONMENT.

There is rumor in circulation to the eff
feet that the Utah commission intends to
make Salt Lake city one representative
district and apportion to it five members of
the lower house of the legislature. We hope
there is nothing in this rumor, because we
don't want to see the commission 90 or at
tempt an illegal thing. Good lawyers who
have examined the statutes bearing on this
matter, say that it will be unlawful to thus
bunch the representatives: that there are
twentyfour members of the house to be
chosen and there must be twenty-four dis
tricts from which to select them, one mem
Der from each district To make different
apportionment would be unrepresenta-
tive, and destroy the intention and
purpose of the law This read
ing Of the law is so plain that
we cannot understand how anybody of in
telhgence can sanction the proposition said
to have been advanced in the commission.
If Salt Lake city, because it contains
10, 900 people, according to the census and
the legislative apportionment is one mem
Der for every 5000 of population, can be
created into one district with five members,
then the balance of the territory, with
1872, 900 population, may be made one dis
trict, and nineteen members assigned to it:
Weber, Cache, Utah and Summit counties
may name and elect all the representatives
in fact il those counties were to combine
they could take nineteen representatives
from Ogden, Logan, Provo or Park City and
every other part of the territory save Salt
Lake city would be without representation
in the house. In fact, if any less number
than twenty-four districts can be created.
the entire territory may be combined in one
district and all the voters have the priyi
lege of voting for all the members of the
lower house.
We do not object to this proposition from
partisan standpoint. So far as the par
ties are concerned it will make little if any
difference whether Salt Lake is one dis
trict with five representatives or five dis
tricts with as many representatives. In
either event the Democrats propose to elect
the five members which will go to the
house from this city. But it would be I'M
republican, IN representative and clearly
illegal to permit the citizen to vote for
more than one member, the one to repre-
sent him in the house
tits easy enough to divide Salt Lake city
into five districts with a practically equal
population in each, and this should be done
in fairness to the people and in obedience
to the plain reading of the law. II this
shall not be done, we trust that the courts
will be appealed to to compel the commits
sion to keep within the letter and spirit of
the statute.
