uIAh,s POLITICAL WOMEN.
Repatriation Teas Are Held, and Not IN
Angry Word 10 Ever Heard.

Utah's political campaign is fairly
under way aud offers al interesting
study of practical woman suffrage. 1t
had been supposed that women would
not be allowed to vote until after the
adoption of the state constitution which
grants the franchise. BY recent de-
cision in test case, however, the en-
abling act Is construed TO take effect in
advance of statehood, so far as suffrage
and one or two other phases of state
hood are concerned. Pending the deci-
sion on the appeal of this case to the
supreme court women have been regis
tered and are taking a most active part
in the primaries. They are represented
ON all the committees of both parties,
and the recently appointed secretary Of
the Republican territorial committee,
Mrs. Lille r. Pardee, is believed to be
the first woman that ever served in that
capacity.
The most active workers on both sides
so far in the campaign have been wom-
en-. They complain, however, that the
rank and file Of the sex are apathetic in
matters political Mrs. G. Z. Allen,
brilliant woman and remarkable for her
domestic accomplishments as we'll as
for oratorical ability, has commented on
this fact publicly in way to attract at
tention. In house TO house canvass in
Salt Lake City she said she had found a
great many women who did not know
whether they were Republicans or Dem
ocrats. One woman declared she was
Democrat, but had always believed in
the tariff for protection. Another said
her husband would do all the voting in
her family. Some few, Mrs. Allen said.
had treated her as an enemy of the pub
lie peace. In too many cases the subject
of politics was treated with absolute in
difference.
One immediate result Of this apathy
has been the invention of a new form
of social diversion. 1t is called reg
istration tea" The chief difficulty with
the women voters is to get them regis
tered. The law does not require dec
laration of the voters exact age, but
apparently few women understand this.
There seems to be an impression also
that the mode of registration is compli-
Gated. To dispel these illusions registra-
ton teas have been devised. The guests
are unregistered women. The hostesses
are members of the ward or precinct
committees. Usually the entertainment
includes music and refreshments. A
talk on the responsibility of the ballot
and the necessity of registration is a
fixture on the programme. The talk
also includes instructions for registra-
tion and an explanation of the Aus
tralian voting system, which is used in
the primaries and in the general cleo
tions. The registration tea so far has
proved about the only effectual method

New Ideas In House Lighting.

A new and delightful principle in
lighting houses has been largely adopted
in the most elegant and artistic homes.
This is diffusion Of concentration. The
imposing central chandelier has given
way to gas jets and electric bulbs, which
represent conventionalized flowers set in
the frieze and forming part of its deco
ration. Swinging lights hung inside of
opalescent glass lanterns in each corner
Of the room are substituted for the over
whelming central chandelier. Brass
sconces with gas jets made to initiate
candles are liked as side lights. The
lamp still holds it's own, but the milli-
merry shade, the slightly modified tulle
and lace petticoats of ballet dancer.
have happily dropped somewhat into the
background, and ground glass shades,
either plain or with dragon or two
delicately etched upon them, or pale
tinted fluted porcelain shades are now
en- regle. The diffused method of light
ing has two great advantages. 1t is more
agreeable to the eyes and infinitely more
becoming to the complexion, and these
are considerations not to be held lightly.

elated over the prospect of the return
to power of the party of Lincoln, Grant

debts instead of making them; that

possible for him To live outside of char
liable Institutions. 1t has been my lot
for the past year to be about the coun-
try in all directions from this place,
among the farmers and laborers, and it
is humiiating fact that the people are
poverty stricken as never before. We
have seen the housewife step behind
the door to hide her rags; children
scantily clad, unable TO attend school;
living upon coarse food and half ra-
tons. And why is its Net because
silver was demonetized in 1878; not be
cause there was an overproduction of
the fruits of toll; not because of peri
odical depression, as we are told by
some democrats; but because the mo"

The empress of Germany fully shares
the military enthusiasm of her husband,
as was demonstrated at the close of the
maneuvers at Stettin recently, when
she appeared as colonel of the cuiras-
siers Of Queen Louise, regiment of
which she has been the honorary COM
mander for some years. In very sol
dierly uniform, white cloth habit.
with scarlet facings and gold lace on
collar and cuffs, and mounted on splen-
did charger, she rode at the head Of the
regiment, leading it first at a trot,
then at gallop before the critical eyes
of the kaiser, the emperor of Austria
and the king of Saxony.

The recent election shattered a
good many democrat presidential
boomlets. On the other hand, every
republican s'favorite son" received a
hearty endorsement from his own
constituency wherever an election
was held. AS the Detroit Tribune
puts it, Massachusetts GA 900 repub-
lican majority may be considered an
endorsement for Reed; New York
backs Morton with $4,000; Pennsyl-
vania stands by Cameron; Ohio en-
dorses Mckinley with 10000; Iowa
stands by Allison with $4,000, and
Indiana undoubtedly would have en-
dorsed Harrison if she had an oppor-
tunity, while Kentucky has favorite
for the vice presidency in the person
of Governor-elect Bradley. There
will be no lack of good men from
whom to select the standard bearers
of the party. The republicans are
not looking for any Moses to lead
them out of the wilderness.

1t is rather amusing to note the
assurance with which the NORTH
ERNER continues to insist that South
Haven is under. taxed and Paw Paw
mulcted. Ii seems not to have &C.
cured TO the editor, that when the
committee of the board of supervisors,
sworn to perform their duties faith
fully, all men of probity and sagacity,
brought in report on equalization,
and it was Endorsed by the full board
their decision was seventeen times,
Qeaving out South Ravens super
visor, more liable to be right than
his. With all the light the NORTH
ERNER has furnished and their own
Investigations to guide them, it
would seem to be rather cheeky for
the paper to assert its superior wis
dom.-South Haven Messenger.
Now we don't believe the Mes
senger man is in the least amused at
the showing up of the matter of
equalization of taxes in this county,
as such agitation is bound to result
another yearin more equitable read
iustment of taxation.
The NoRTHERNER has never init
mated that any member of the board
of supervisors perjured himself, as
the Messenger infers. We have no
use for billingsgate, and will keep
still when we have no better argu-
ment than to assail the integrity Of
the honorable board. But even hon
est men are liable to mistake.
We do believe that Supervisor
Johnson has better knowledge of
the value of property in South Haven
than any member of the board. He
was sworn to perform his duties as as
SCISSOR faithfully, and we do not be-
lieve in doing so he so far lost sight
Of the interests of his constituents as
to grossly over-assess them.
j. II. Johnson, the honorable gen
tleman who represents South Haven
on the board, who is sworn to assess
property at its real value, who has as
good knowledge of the real value
property in his township as any
living man, valued the township
at SS24,745. The board said he
had it two high and equalized
it at S720,000. The NoRTHERNER
thinks Mr.. Johnson seventeen times
more liable to be light" than all the
other members of the board combin-
ed. Now, Messenger, dear, wouldn't
you believe JamesJH. Johnson under
oath? We would; and we would
have found no fault had the board
taken his sworn judgment of 1884,
40 as the value of South Haven
township, although we do believe
that Mr.. Johnson or any other man
would experience great difficulty in
buying many pieces of South Haven
property at double their assessed val
uation.

Irish POliteness.

The gift of the Irish peasant for max
ing expressive and humorous phrases is
not by any means a fiction Of literature.
The use of 'pat' phrases is natural to
him.
A clerical traveller in Cavan not long
ago asked peasant how far it was to a
certain village and was answered, 1.-TWO
miles. -
"What! Only two miles?" said the
traveller, who had before traversed the
distance and found it long road.
"Well, your reverence" answered
the peasant, sit is two miles sthrong
and rich, so to spake."
A somewhat similar story is told by
one of Lord Zetlands party, who were
making inquiries into the condition Of
distressed district. They were cross
ing lake. A gale was blowing, and
waves were dashing over the boat.
The gentleman referred to had been
assured that an Irish peasant if treated
we'll will always agree with what is
said to him rather than appear disagree
able. 1t struck the gentleman that
here was good chance to put the asser-
tion to the proof.

said to one of the boatmen.
The answer came through the howl
ing of the elements:
