UTAH WOMEN IN WASHINGTON.

The Utah delegates to the Nationa!
Woman's Council in Washington, D.
c., have received more than common
attention. Ample opportunity was af-
forded those ladies to present their
views to the assembly, and the press
have given them very favorable no.
tees with comments that show very
plainly the effects upon the papers, of
the changed conditions" in this terri
tory Instead Of those slurs and in.
uendos that once were a matter of
course. only complimentary and re-
6pectful reference is made.
There was very noticeable demon
5tration Of ability in the addresses de-
livered by the Utah ladies. All Of them
had something original to present and
they presented it well. Their reception
was all that could be desired. They
are all representative women and fully
competent to interest a cultured audi
ence. We have others Of equal talent
ana capability at home. Utah is not
whit behind the other parts Of the
Union in her galaxy Of feminine lumi-
naries. Indeed we are Of the opinion
that according to population she far
outshines most of the states and terri
tories in this respect.
This knocks out one more of the
misconceptions of the public in
reference to Utah and her peo-
pie. It is now beginning to be seen
that even her women, supposed TO be
ignorant, common place, and down
trodden, number among them such
bright and thoughtful and progressive
minds, az are able to form an attrac-
ton in national gathering Of the
foremost of their sex in affairs that re-
late to the public welfare.
Among the press comments concern
ing them we ind the following, which
shows that the kind of '.progresg' be-
lfeVed in by the women of Utah is
somewhat different to that advocated
| by some Of the lady 'reformers'' OF the

SALT LAKES CENSUS.

The census returns for Salt Lake city
will be found in another place in to-
days Herald They would have ap-
peared one day sooner, if Mr.. Squires,
the chief statistfcian. had not violated
his promise TO give them to the morn
ing papers simultaneously. The Her
aid understands the reason for his dis
elimination. and appreciates it as it
deserves.
The. population of Salt Lake city
fails very much below that which was
supposed. It has been variousIy esti-
mated at from $4,000 TO $4,000. We do
not think the most conservative OF our
citizens placed 1t at less than 10000
The returns give the total at 1880
This Is an increase OF seven per cent
on The census OF 1890.
During the last two or three years
many persons have left the city Some
have moved to suburban residences,
on the additions that have been made
by real estate men, others have gone
to other parts Of the territory to OBJ
tain employment or take up land, and
still others have left the territory al.
together That we have an increase
OF seven per cent in five years in spite
OF these ohangeg. is evidence of fair
and steady progress
That many wide awake people have
moved beyond the city limits, to escape

JUDGE BAHToHs RULINGS.

The ruling of Judge Rartoh in the
mandamus part OF the Third precinct
case was a surprise to many people.
Nevertheless it is clearly right. OF
course The Herald regards it in that
light because it confirms our views Of
the matter in question, freely expires
sed when the intermediate board Of
eanyassers, appointed under Judge
Barteh's mistaken ruling, narrowed
their recount 20 the votes for two of
the candidates instead Of extending it
to all who we're on the game ticket.
The Judge decides that under the rul-
ing of the Supreme Court, the Utah
Commission have the right to count
the ballots OF the Third precinct. and
in reference to all the candidates in
that precinct for the Office Of delegate
to the constitutional convention. His
reasoning on the matter is clear, and
his decision the logical conclusion.
But, in his peculiar fashion, the judge
turns round and hears testimony on
the application for a writ of prohibition
to stop the very thing which by his
Own ruling the Commission have the
right and are in duty bound TO per-
form, Suppose he grants the writ. He
then prohibits the Commission from
diseharging their duty, and the con-
sequence must be a failure Go grant
certificates TO the persons whom the
ballots might have shown to have been
elected
He will not require the Commission
to issue certificates on the face Of the
returns, he will prohibit them from
counting the ballots, so as to find out
who is lawfully elected and issue GER
tif1categ accordingly. So the result will
be no canvass. no certificates.
That is, of course. if he decides to
grant the writ If he refuses to issue
the writ of prohibition then the Com
mission will go ahead and make the
canvass as the law requires. But it is
clear that the judge has made a mis-
take. Having refused the mandamus
the prohibition naturally fell down
with it. If the Commission on can
VdSSing the votes should issue certifi-
Gates to persons On what may be
claimed fraudulent ballots, the injured
candidates would have their remedy in
a contest The judge IS proceeding just
as though il was a case Of contest he
had to try instead of an application
for writ Which it would be inconsfS-
tent to grant in view OF his decision
on the mandamus. In whatever way
he may decide, and however right ii
NAV he 11Dder DrODer DrOree6jnsS. In
bring out all there is Of apparent
croohedness in reference to the
election. the hearing Of the matter
under the present application IS a ia
dicial inconsistency that must be cyl
dent to every legal mind.

the heavy taxation caused by the eX.
traVagance of the city authorities who
we're elected on boom principles. can
not be denied. Unless there is cyl
denee Of wise reform in these particu-
lars, others Will certainly follow their
example. But It IS far easier to plunge
into debt than it is to inaugurate and
carry cut a policy of retrenchment.
And when there is manifested a dis
position to adopt the eXpedient of
| special assessments and make unequal
burdens for the backs of the taxpayers.
the effect will be not only to drive be-
You'd the municipal limits enterpris-
ing and thrifty citizens, but to prevent

There are some interesting particu-
lars in the returns They are worth
studying. We believe the census has
been carefully made. We have no
reason at present to doubt their &C
curacy. The work has been done

given for that
Henceforth, for some little time at
least. it viii not be safe to boast of
salt Lake az a city of more than 3d.
600 inhabitants. Natural increase will
soon bring the population up to that
figure, and when the good times arrive
for which we have been looking, and
come they will, the figures that have
been quoted by sanguine people will
be within the limit of a fair count, and
Salt Lake will be more Of q metropoli-

The change Of policy in this city in
reference to the street lighting is not
regarded by the people as an indication
Of wisdom, on the part of the city
authorities who are attempting to in
augurate it. There is no sufficient rea-
son in sight for introducing an en-
| tirely different plan to that which has
prevailed here from the very begin
ming. Whether it will be actually
established or not will be decided be-
fore very long. It ought to be tested
by suit for injunction,
in stating that the promoters Of the
the interest Of the corporations and the
capitalists, The Herald expressed the
views OF a very large number of the
Taxpayers. The plan proposed cannot
be said to be in favor OF the poorer
class of landholders. They are to be
assessed according to the alleged bene-
fits to their land claims ana improve
mentg The burden Of the tax viii
fall upon them. thus reversing the
principle that the weight Of taxation
shall rest upon those best able to bear
it. Which occurs when property is as
sessed according to its cash valuation.
| But in making those remarks The
| Herald wishes it to be distinctly under
stood that it designed to cast no re-
( hection upon the honesty and IN
tesrity Of those gentlemen who
espoused the taxing heresy which is
being imposed upon the city. On the
I 4{.4a, lay7
/ them against the insinuation of a con-
! temporary that they we're Influenced
in another matter by mercenary con-
! siderations We do not believe and
have not intimated that their legisla-
/ ton. which is in favor Of the rich. was
brought about by any such means. We
regard them as altogether above such
a reproach.
! But, nevertheless, what we have said
Of their measure stands. That the
! Lighting Of the streets Is not for the
benefit Of adjacent property but for
the convenience Of travellers, the pubic
good and not private advantage, seems
! so plain that it is scarcely open to dis
pute. Street lamps are not erected for
/ the special benefit Of the houses and
lots near by They are to light the
streets. not the abutting property.
I The benefits received accrue to the
users of the streets. ana should. there
fore. be paid for, like any other gen
erai public Improvement out of the
general funds.
1 There has not yet been an argument
offered for the new-fangled piece of
municipal absurdity that will stand the
! test of fair reason and close scrutiny.
But ia saying that, while our re-
marks may reflect on the wisdom of
its promoters. we repeat that we, do
not wish to reflect in the slightest de-
gree upon their honor which we believe
/ is above reproach.
