ENOUGH SAID.

1t seems impossible to bring our
morning contemporary to a fair state
ment of a question when in dispute
with The Herald. and equally impos-
sible for it to cease its self-contradic-
tons. 1t now says:
I'VE reiterate that nearly the whole
constitutional convention opposed Civ
ing permission to the women of this
territory to vote at the coming cleo
ton
AS we have previously shown, that
is not what the Tribune stated in re-
lation to this matter in the opening OF
the controversy. This is what it said
in an editorial on August7:
1T is a mean political trick. the eff
fort to have women vote this fall, and
it was SO plain that hardly corpo-
rats guard voted for it,
Neither of these contradictory state
ments is true. AS we have stated, all
that is needed to prove them untrue
is to go to the record. The minutes
of the constitutional convention show
that after the question had been
fully debated, the vote stood "a in ia
vor of the proposition and SO against
it; absent, is. The "a who voted for it
were Democrats. The SO who voted
against it were all Republicans but
four. These are the facts as shown
by the figures. What is the reason
our neighbor will continue to reiterate
it's. untruthful assertions when the
proofs are so clear and positive
against it? Is it not about time to let
this matter drop?

QUAY AND CAMERON.

The election or defeat of Quay will not
in any way affect Senator Cameron's po-
sition in the state, nor can any result of
the fractional fight help or hinder Came
ron's reelection TO the Senate or his can
didacy for the presidency. Quay has dis
tinctly declared that he faVors either
Reed or Mckinley for president. as may
be most acceptable to the Republicans of
the state, and he also has distinctly de-
clared against the Cameron silver plat
doubtful on either of these important
points and these public pledges given by
Senator Quay will not be violated.-Phila-

JUSTICE JAcKsoN's SUCCESSOR.

1t should always be remembered to the
credit of President Harrison that he rose
above party in the appointment of Mr..
Justice Jackson to the bench of the Su-
preme Court of the United States. We
believe he was the only president of whom
this could be said in the present genera
ton. In fact, all President Harrison s
appointments to that bench were admir-
able Judge Jackson had the esteem of
the bar and the bench as a conscientious
and upright justice. His health had for
some time unfortunately incapacitated
him for attending 20 his duties. Presi-
dent Cleveland will have a wide field from
which to select in naming his successor,
as this is a peculiar case in which local
ity can present no especial claim.-Bos-
ton Herald

eve should like to ask our morning
contemporary simple question:
That is the way the Tribune en-
deavors to evade answering questions
propounded by The Herald in regard
to the authority of the people of Utah
to call another election on the ratifi-
cation of the constitution if the first
election shall fail.
The question of our contemporary
has nothing to do with that matter.
Nobody disputes the power of the peo-
pie in any territory to call a conven-
ton, frame a constitution and submit
it to Congress. That has been done in
Utah several times, but always in
vain. The question might as well be
asked what is to prevent the rain from
falling when a shower comes.
The only question originally made
was as to the power of the vote Of
the people of Utah to call and conduct
a new election other than that pro-
vided for in the enabling act. The
Tribune has not answered the ques-
tons, who is to call the election?
Who is to conduct it, and to whom are
the returns to be made?'
Is it not clear that Congress hav-
ing provided for an election on the rat
ification of the state constitution
would have to take further action if
it became necessary to hold another
election on the same question? OF
what use is it for our contemporary
to continue to bubble on this matter?
1t is evident that it has made a blum
der; it might as we'll either be fair
enough to acknowledge it was mis-
taken or wise enough to stop chat
tering about it.

THE COMING OF KNEE BREEcHEs.

If society is so taken with the bicycle
and golf ideas of leg upholstery that it
will require every man to wear knee
breeches shortly, as the fashion editor an
nounces, then society may be congratu-
lated heartily upon being caught knowing
what it is about. No art is SO wise and
skillful that it may add by dress the
least to the power of the beauty of the
naturally developed human body; but all
art is wisest and most skillful when it re-
solves only to help the naturally devel-
oped human body to express its beauty
with the most freedom.-BoSton Globe.
