UNIVERSITY OF UTAH.

Although the Republican legislature
was so anxious to give the peoples
money for the cultivation of beets and
canaigre roots that it neglected to pro-
vide sufficient means for the support
of the University, Agricultural college
and other institutions, yet they will
not be allowed to dwindle into inef-
! Efficiency. They are all. receiving de-
served encouragement.
The University of Utah is an estab-
lishment of which all lovers of educa-
ton may well be proud. 1t has wealth.
cred all the storms which have beat
upon it. and through the assistance
which has been rendered it, indepen-
IDENTIFY of legislative appropriations, it
is able to maintain its high standard
of excellence.
The University reopens for the cur
rent academic year Sept, 10, the first
few days being devoted to examination
and classification of applicants, in
struction then commencing. DR.. Tai
mage, the President, considers that the
work is resumed under very favorable
auspices; indeed, never before in the
history Of the institution has the Uni
versity enjoyed so thorough an equip
ment in buildings, furniture and appar-
atus as at present.
Through the liberality of the Salt
Lake Literary and Scientific associa-
ton. their large collection of scientific
apparatus and material has now be-
come the absolute property of the Uni
lUPrSifU nd
pointed building erected and used by
the Salt Lake Literary and Scientific
association for scientific purposes, is
now made the University laboratory for
Physical Science. The. chemical and
physical laboratories are fitted in very
convenient style for practical work.
In the main building the rooms vaca-
| ted by the Physical Science classes
have been reftted for work in Geolo-
gy and Mineralogy, and other branches
of natural science.
The University is made, by law, the
head of the public school system of
Utah, and its faculty and regents are
very DESTROYS of making a close work.
| ing relation between the University
and the public schools. Though the
salaries of the professors and instruct
ors have been reduced, there is no dim
mutton in their ardor or enthusiasm
for their work for the institution, the
only actual omission being seen in the
suspension of the Military depart
ment.
Tuition is free in all departments and
branches. the registration fee, $1,000
for residents. and S25 for non-residents
/ of the Territory, alone being charged.
But this is required of all except those
admitted under the old law providing
for the education of the so-called Ter
ritorial Normal students.
1t is to be hoped that the University
will be supported by the people of
Utah and that at its opening pupils
will attend sufficient in number to en-
ploy all the time and energy of every
preceptor. Under the efficient manage
ment of DR.. Talmage it cannot fail to
prove all that can be reasonably eX-
pected from such an institution. The
Herald has always been friend to
the University and will be found ever
alive to it's interests.

BIG YCLtE
pRICES
For '95.
Will They be Cut?

That question has come TO us in sew
eral forms during the past month and
we can answer it positively 9s We
have closed two of our contracts for
the coming year and we are IN touch
with every high grade maker in the
country. Prices for strictly high
grade wheels like the Stearns will re.
main the same for '95 as they have
been for '94. Wheels that have mas.
Queraded under the specious guise Of
bright nickle plate and glossy enamel
as high grade, this year will be rele-
gated to the class to which they all
along belonged.
How about weights! youask. Wheels
will be lighter and-though it may seem
a paradOx-stronger. We shall have
a strictly guaranteed Road Wheel at
10 pounds in the Stearns, and iul
Roadster at % pounds. The ''Gen-
dron" will be equipped with wood rims
and brought down to % and 20 pounds,
two models. steel and metal rims will
hardly be seen on any of the high
grade wheels. so completely have the
wood rims displaced them. Tires
weighing more than 3 pounds will not
be looked upon with favor by riders.

EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL.

There is no dubiety in the Demo-
cratic declaration in favor of woman
suffrage. It is straightforward and to
the point like all the principles of Dem
ocracy. 1t is in reality the declaration
of a fundamental Democratic principle
Whatever practice may have obtained
in the Democratic party, in common
with other political parties in this
country, the doctrine of equal suffrage
is essentially Democratic, and the de-
NAL of political rights and privileges
to about one half of the citizens of the
nation is discordant to the theory of a
government of the people
The notion has prevailed so long that
the affairs of government are the ex-
elusive concern of the men, and that
women are out Of place in politics, that
it is with much Impotence woman suf-
frage is noticed by very large num-
Der Of men and, it cannot be denied,
also Of considerable number of wo-
men. But these are times of innova-
ton and progress, and the simple truth
| that to deny to one half of the people
any voice in the choice of their rulers
is to establish government without
the consent of one half of the gov
Terned, is fast becoming a public con-
viction
The United States as a nation have
not yet reached that point, but it is
only question of time, and not a very
long time either when they will arrive
at the goal of equal suffrage. and wo-
men will be relieved of the shackles of
political bondage.
Utah is only called upon to decide
for herself in this matter Other COM
munities can act for themselves. She
has had experience enough in regard to
it to be able to determine whether all
her people or only part of them shall
enjoy fun political liberty. For seven
teen years women voted at the polls on
an equality with men in this territory
Not single valid objection was ever
offered aginst the principle or its prac-
tice here. By acts of Congress they
We're deprived of that power. We re-
gard the step as mistake The Demo-

revival of business is coincident with
the enactment of a lower tariff whether
it is case of post hoe propter hoe or
not. s
| The bank clearings continue to In
crease and this is always a good indi-
Gator of how business stands. The fall
lures. for the week just past have been
l107 less than in the same week in 1898.
These are most encouraging signs; but
this is not all; the press and trade jour-
mails are beginning to admit the fact,
and also men who make a study of such
matters. We quote a few. Says the
Omaha Cultivator:
1t is a significant fact that as soon as
the new tariff bill passed the carpet
manufacturers of Lowell Mass, gave
notice to their employees that the 10
per cent. reduction of wages made last
February would be restored. Those
manufacturers have been sending their
agents to Great Britain lately to sell
lAmerican-made carpets to Johnny
Bull" and they have had very salts
factory success in introducing their
products With assurance that they
lwili have, in future, free raw material
for their looms they are encouraged to
lpay the highest scale of wages, and, of
lcourse, they will continue to beard the
free trade lion in his den, or, to change
the figure, they will spread his lair with
lAmerican-m carpets.
The Boston Journal, a Republican pa
per that is a stalwart of the stalwarts,
says:
The Industrial disturbances at Fall
River and New Bedford represent a
heavy weekly loss of wages and conse-
iquent dimfnution of purchasing capac-
lity. These drawbacks, natural and in
dustrial, check business improvement.
: Nevertheless, there is a pretty general
concurrence in the reports from the
lchief trade centres of the country as to
a quickened demand and more active
movement of goods.
The tone of the two is very much the
same, and both tell of better times in
business.
Few men in the country are keener
observers of the trend of things in the
business and financial world than
Chauncey M. Depew. He has recently
Expressed himself concerning the tariff
and its effects, and he does not hesitate
to declare that:
The settlement of the tariff
question is the beginning of a
Nio1 VI prosperity. In less
than two years the panic of 1S93-94 will
be forgotten. Mines, furnaces, mills and
factories will be in full operation; rail-
roads will be conveying profitable traf-
nc and the movement of internal COM
merce and the free circulation of cur
rency or the equivalent in business and
wages will certainly increase the de-
mand for everything produced upon the
farm or elsewhere. There will be some
lsetbacks. but only temporary, and they
Will be followed by greater activity.
In less than two years the panic of
lSS3-94 will be forgotten" And this
will be under the new tariff. 1t was a
great admission for Mr.. Depew to make,
but it is true.
There has been a return of conf
Idence, and confidence is at the base OF
Iall prosperity. Good times are largely
made by talking good times, and that
is what the people are doing now. Let
them keep UP the talk.

cratic party should see to It that the
error is rectified The history of wo-
man suffrage in Utah furnishes a suf-
ficient answer to all objections against
it so far as this community is con-
cerned.
On general principles we are for wo-
man suffrage: Because women are cit
liens as well as men are, and there is
] no logical reason why they should not
, enjoy the privileges of citizens. Be
cause all governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
rned, and in the absence of woman
suffrage one half of the citizens are
governed without their consent. Be
cause taxation without representation
is tyranny, and very large number Of
taxpayers have no representation in
the government unless woman suffrage
prevails. Because it is as much to the
| interest of women as of men to have
good government and they should not
be debarred from doing their part to
secure it
People trust the care and tuition of
the youth to women, a host of when
are teachers in the public schools, and
yet debar them from the practical ex-
ercise of important principles which
they have to teach. While the femin-
inc element of humanity is left out of
the process of the government of hui
mainly we shall have but an imperfect
civilization
Whether the majority of the women
want the suffrage or not has nothing
whatever to do with the justice, the
right or the expediency of bestowing it
upon them. It is absurd to deny it to
| those who plead for it on the ground
that others do not desire it. No wo-
man would be compelled to vote if
equal suffrage prevailed any more
than a man is under partial suffrage.
There are no arguments against
equal suffrage; there are many objec-
tons, but we will not stop now to con-
slider them. This article is not intend
ed to be exhaustive of the subject.
The Herald simply states it's position
in relation to it, and presents some
reasons why this paper cordially en-
dorses the equal suffrage plank in the
Democratic platform adopted at the
convention on Saturday.
We are for equal rights to all, special
privileges to none. We are for gov
eminent of the whole people. We are
for fair representation in government.
We are for the companionship and in
f1uences of both sexes in government as
well as in society and in the family.
Therefore we are for an impartial bal
lot and against the denial of political
liberty on account of sex, and we re-
sent the political degradation Of ma
ture women citizens to the level of
minors, idiots, insane persons and
criminals who have forfeited their civil
rights.
Count The Herald henceforth on the
side of suffrage reform as we'll as tariff
eform, and let every Democat in Utah
help to place the wives, sisters and
daughters of freemen on the plane of
political liberty, that we may have
state which shall combine all the ele-
ments of growth, development, purity
and progress, in which no person COM
petent to cast ballot shall be de-
prived of the blessings of sweet lib

much to do with it, but the settlement
of the question by a revision of the

the present revival of business. This

The Democratic platform demands
what The Herald has been demanding
ali the time--that the constitution of
the state of Utah shall be framed in a
non-partisan spirit. That is the only
spirit in which to frame constitution,
and the people of Utah should accept
none framed in any other. A constitu-
ton is a thing on which to build a
commonwealth and not an instrument
for the furtherance of party ends.
