Mrs. Horny Ward Bcechcr has on.
dcarcd herself 10 nearly every family In
America. Not altogether because she
was tho wife Of brilliant divine, but
because Of her constant desire to aid
people and help them along In life.
Speaking about the relationship be.
tween mother and daughter her words
have becn outspokcn and sincere. Here
is portion Of what she said
"There Is no period in mothers life
that bring. moro anxious care than
when she seei her daughters, who are
blossoming into womanhood, beginning
to attract the attention Of young men,
and 1t becomes evident to the mother
at least, that simple friendly relations
are last developing into something
stronger ard closer. 4 wise mother may
not reveal her anxiety to her daughters,
or tell them 10 what shc sees this friend
ship tending, but influenced by the low
ing comprehensive aud counse!s which
have constantly blessed them from
earliest childhood, tho daughters can.
not fall to have gathered some ideas OF
the peculiar characteristics " ich should
DO plainly developed in lover. Even

girl cannot fail 10 understand that mar.
riage with man lacking certain quail.
ties must BIO u miserable failure"

Is IT TO BE "A CLEAN CAMPAIGN,

A number of the most nror,in.,+
among the Republican speakers are
INDUCING in the disgraceful practice
OF mud-slinging, prompted by the Re
publican paper in this CITY which.
while calling men Of its own party who
differed from it ali kinds of vile hood
Ing names. was at the same time
shooting for "a clean campaign
Encouraged by that sheet the Repub-
hcan stump speakers to whom we re-
fer some Of them candidates for cleo
ton, are assainng the Democratic cam
paign committee and its chief. some of
the Democratic candidates. and gener-
ally the Democratic party, by repeat
ing the ibels. insinuations and covert
charges that have appeared in the
Salt Lake Tribune. Knowing its pen
chant for abuse as well as its utter
unreliability, they should have ab-
stained from uttering accusations bas-
ed upon sucn unsafe authority.
some of them have gone to such
lengths as to expose themselves to
suits Cor libel. If they continue in this
course it will become necessary. either
to open the batteries and show up
their own lives and liabilities or to
prosecute them for criminal libel
Judge Powers has replied to the
falsehoods repeated in many places
from the platform by two of the Re
publican stumpers, as will be seen in
the Political Arena. The Chairman Of
the Republican party has also been
communicated with, and we are wait
ing to learn, definitely. whether this
IS TO be a campaign of personal at
tack and defamation of character, or
"a campaign of principle" as claimed
by the very men who are throwing
the most mud.

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY AND
WOMEN.

Mcmahon Hail. the central building
Of the Catholic university at Washing
ton, was dedicated Tuesday with i'm
posing ceremonies. That this univer-
sity viii become one Of the great
centers Of learning in the United
States there is little doubt. Nor is the
institution at all likely to take on the
form nor follow the aims of the uni
versities of the Middle Ages, but will
be modern and American.
As this new seat of learning seems
destined to play an important part in
the higher education of the country,
its attitude towards the higher educa-
ton of women is a matter of interest
to all: The recent announcement that
women would be admitted to all the
departments. without the right of
matriculation and receiving degrees,
seems to have been premature. for it
transpires that the doors of the uni
Versity will not be opened to them this
year. In a recent interview Bishop
Keane Rector of the university, said:
very much regret to say that the
announcement that the university will
be open to women is premature. While
the subject has been discussed among
the members Of the faculty no decision
had been reached upon it; nor could
there be for the reason that all ques-
tons governing the conduct of the uni
versity must be passed upon by the
board of directors, who meet only once
a year.
This hoard mot Tuesday ~ +ha
dedication of Mcmahon Hall, but
there are no indications that the sub
iect was considered. Before women
can enter the university it will be
necessary to obtain the consent of the
board of directors, which consists Of
the archbishops and bishops of the
church in the United States. When
this is obtained the matter will be sub
nlitted to Rome, where favorable ac-
ton win no doubt be taken.
Bishop Keane says this matter came
