THE CASE OF UTAH.

The proceedings of the Utah constitu-
tional convention will be watched with
general interest on account of the pc
cuIlar history of that territory, and its
long struggle for admission into the
Union As early as 1S49 a similar con-
Ventlon was held, constitution adopted
ana a PROVISIONAL government estab-
lished with Brigham Young at the head
of 1t; but Congress rejected the applica-
ton for statehood, and so the scheme
failed. Five other conventions have since
been, held. with the same disappointing
result; and now the seventh one is in
session, and is likely at last to accom-
plish the object for which the people
have been longing and striving during a
known, of course. that all previous at
tempts have been defeated principally on
account of the presence of polygamy as
a religious belief and social practice, sus-
tanned by the power of hierarchy that
exercised practically supreme authority
over all the affairs of the territory and
understand how the Mormon leaders ac-
quired complete political and spiritual
dominion, and so long maintained it, in
spite of all antagonistic Influences; and
TINA common ability, whatever is to be
said against them in other respects.
But the old hierarchy is now a thing of
the past. we are assured, so far as the
matter of general authority is concerned
polygamy has been formally repudiated
as a part of the Mormon faith; and the
ing without any priestly diotation or sug
gestion. It is claimed by some residents
of the territory. to be sure, that the
abominable plural wife system still Sc
cretly exists, and that the Saints are
playing a confidence game for political
advantage; but there does not appear
to be any substantial reason for taking
this distrustful view of the matter. The
preponderance of testimony, which means
fully nine-tenths Of it. is to the effect. that
both the church dignataries and the large
n ranI1lQ
faith, and with a laudable desire to pro-
mote the. best. interests of civilization. It
is true. that the change is a remarkable
one. and does not carry with it the idea
Of necessary. or even probable, insincer-
ity. The past experience Of Utah has
certainly furnished sufficient cause for
this new departure. and it is manifestly
unjust and ungenerous to deny to the
Mormons the right to be believed when
they declare their intention to nursue a
wiser course than the one for which they
have been so much condemned. There
fore, it is to be hoped that the present
convention will frame an acceptable con-
stitution, and that the territory will be-
come a state IN the verv near future

BONDS Or NO noNps.

The daily papers of Salt Lake, Dem
ocTatic, Republican and Independent, "
agree, that it would be better for the
people of this county to fund the coun-
| ty debts and pay five per cent inter-
est per annum, than to continue the
present warrants bearing interest at
eight per cent. per annum. Neither of
| the papers have any other than the
common taxpayers interest in the
question. The astonishing fact that
they agree in their opinions concerning
it ought to have weight with people
who have not thoroughly investigated
it.
The Herald advises the voters to go
to the polls today and cast their bal
lots according to their honest convic-
tions. This is an important question,
and each voting citizen should use his
influence in what he believes to be the
right direction.
We do not close our eyes to the fact
that many very estimable people are
opposed to the bonds. They will proba-
bly, vote no. We believe they are mis-
taken in their views. Among their mis-
takes are these:
They argue as though 1t was pro-
posed, as on former occasions when the
question was put, to contract pub
lie debt. That is not now the case
The debt is contracted, bonds or no
bonds. 1t is a question of paying eight
per cent. on the warrants or five per
cent. on the bonds.
It is surmised that the money raised
by bonds may be put to other uses than
paying off the present debt. But that
is only surmise. because the county
authorities are pledged to pay the debt
with this money. that is the purpose
fore which the bonds are to be issued,
and any other use if that were not
done would be ali illegal expenditure
It is feared that if these bonds are
issued others may follow. That also is
groundless. as no more can be legally
issued until these are paid up. Nobody
would want to buy illegal bonds.
It is argued that the county court
had no right TO contract the debt now
owing, and that "a rebulze ought to be
administered to the county authori-
ties'' by refusing to vote for the bonds.
Unfortunately the charge is true. but
the present county authorities had
nothing to do with the wrong except
TO expose it. and the so-called re
buke'' would only be the voters slap
ping their own faces. This is their debt
and not the selectmen's, and the ques-
ton is. how will they pay it?
It is of no use to dodge this issue,
or blind our own eyes to the situation.
We are in debt at eight per cent. in
terest. shall we continue to pay eight
or cut it down to five per cent?
Sends at five per cent. will save from

IS, 900 to $4,000 a year to the taxpayers
unless the warrants could be paid off
much sooner than the bonds.
By issuing the bonds a large amount
of money viii be put into home circula-
ton.
The schools TO which money is owing
from the county will get their dues.
People who have worked for the
county. received their pay in warrants
and have not sold them, will get their
money. H sg III IL
The roads and bridges, which have
been neglected in most parts Of the
county. will be put in repair. This will
furnish employment for many now idle
hands.
Current revenues will be used for
current expenses, the balance, after
economical disbursement, will go to
pay interest on the bonds, and the
saving of the difference in the percent
age between the warrants and the
bonds can go towards a sinking fund
to pay the principal.
1t is probable that a premium will be
advanced on the purchase of the bonds,
which will be so much gain in the
transaction.
We believe that if the bonds are
voted down today, they will be voted
up before many months, and anean-
while the interest on the warrants will
have increased the debt. One years
interest on the warrants will be $4,000
added to the debt.
IL is because we believe the bonds
will be an economical way of meeting
the liabilities of the county, will pre-
vent the stoppage of necessary i'm
provements, and will prove a. saving to
the taxpayers, while It will set a large
sum of money in motion, that we adj
wise our friends who have not made up
their minds otherwise, to go to the
polls today and vote, Bonds Yesi

AN EXPORT COUNTRY.

The invasion by American CARPET
manufacturers of the trade centers in
Great Britain, and their success in
underselling those dealers who have
held almost a monopoly of the carpet
trade in certain special lines, is not
the only movement which proves that
the representations of the protection
lists as to the effects Of free trade"
were the hollowest of false prophe-
cies
The following figures and facts will
show that the increased success of the
wooden business under tariff reform. is
similar in the leather and shoe trade.
In 1893 the value of American sole
leather exported was $5,944,57S, and in
1894 it had increased to S6,S53,649. There
was corresponding increase in the
other forms of leather exported, the
grand total of leather and leather
goods exported last year being s14,SSS,-
O6S or an increase of 81, 300, 900 over the
preceding year. In 1894 there were
72S,517 pairs of American made shoes
exported to foreign consumers, against
5SS,093 pairs the year before.
This shows that the United States
are and can be in an increased degree
an export country. Also that the no
ton insisted upon by the disciples of
'McKinleyism, that without a high tar
if manufactures cannot be success
fully carried on against the COMPETE
ton of the old world, is a monstrous
fallacy.
Instead of the ruin and collapse of
American factories, they are increas-
ing their operations and facilities, and
furnishing employment for the hands
that were idle under the high tariff
policy. Under reduced tariff they are
not only competing with the English
goods that were to flood" this coun-
try like a deluge, but they are turn
ing back the tide of trade land with

POLITICAL UNCERTAINTIES.

A member of the present cabinet il
! quoted as expressing his opinion tina
there never was time when party tie!
were loosen than just now. There il
a growing disposition to cut loos,
from strict adherence to party candi
dates, so as to vote for the men ant
the measures that are nearest in har
mony with the views of the voters
This will in some degree account fol
the great and sudden changes in tht
political situation at the lastAas com
pared with the preceding elections
throughout the country.
1t is a warning to both the great
parties that they neither of them car
count on that fidelity which has beer
almost a blind allegiance in years
that are past. The upheaval of 1885,
was reckoned on by the Democratic
party in 1894 and proved to be an I'M
certain quantity. The return Of the
tidal wave in the Republican direction
in 1894 must not be viewed as a per-
manent flow in the same channel. and
toward the same point. Politics is
mighty onsartin," and there is no rule
that can be depended upon to deter
mine the popular action.
In Utah there will be found as much
likelihood of a firm adherence to party
as in other places. The Democratic
vote which gained the victory lin '92,
was about 1000 greater when it lost
the election in '94. The members of
the party stood by their principle
and there were additions to their num-
bers. We believe they will continue
to do so if the leaders of the party
cling to the time-honored principles
that are fundamental to Democracy,
and promote measures, or contend for
them. which are in the public interest
and not for the special benefit of
classes or corporations.
If the Democratic party does not OBJ
tain a majority in the first state leg
islature. it ought to be so close to the
mark that it will be able to prevent
measures inimical to the popular mind
and welfare. The incompetency dis
played in convention affairs by repre-
sentative Republicans, viewed in con-
nection with the exhibitions of the Re-
publican legislature of '94, cannot but
have their effect on the people at large,
and upon persons not SO welded to
party affiliations as to be blind to the
general good.
If the National Democratic party ex-
poets to gain once more the support of
the people OF the United States in
great majority, it will have to estab-
lish itself in their hearts by a firm
position on platform embodying the
needs of the nation, including an en-
phatic enunciation of the bimetallic
doctrine of unstinted free silver and
gold coinage, at the ratio of 16 to 1.
Also an unambiguous declaration
against the trusts and combines which
have been fattened and fostered at
the public expense.
The uncertainty referred to by the
cabinet officer is a pointer for both
parties, and it should not be under
valued by the Democracy. Let Wig
orous popular policy be set forth and
victory may come again in 1886.

The Pope and Divorce.
Chicago Times-Herald.


The. pope has expressed an opinion on
American divorce laws. with the doors
10 divorce open." his holiness said
troubles in families are apt to lead the
husband and wife to turn to those doors
for a solution of their difficulties, where
as, II no door existed, they would seek
reconciliation. and peace would reign. -
His holiness is justified in lamenting ex-
cessive laxity in divorce laws, but socio-
logical facts do not sustain the theory
that where there are no divorce laws
higher. morality and purer domestic life
prevail France was without divorce
laws until recently, and, except in one
portion of Europe, domestic immortality
was higher in France prior to the divorce
era than in any other part of the world
II is true, on the other hand, that in
ireland. where social statistics show a
high morality, there is scarcely any di-
yorce, but there is no divorce in certain
states OF this union. and the morality in
them is none the better for that. Many
causes operate in a nation or a time or
a state to bring, about relative position in
morality statistics. 1t is undoubtedly
true that divorce laws promote looseness
IN society, but their worst evil would not
be corrected by abolition of divorce, while
the harm done by divorce would be miti-
gated If re-marriage of divorce persons

siderable term OF years.
