A great many people are trying to guess
what excuse the ice companies will make
for raising the price during the coming
summer. Some think they will say that
the ice crop this winter was badly nipped
by the frost, while others incline to the
opinion that they will plead the necessity
of putting up the price because the plenti-
full supply of new ice will make their old
supply valueless.

A PREACHERS PRETEysE.
Our friend the Provo Dispatch rem
ders up part of its editorial space to
some remarks of DR.. Parkhurst, which
1T seems to think are applicable to the
women Of Utah just now. The SUBJ
stance of it all is, that women can't be
men II they pass ever so many reso-
lutions. And the preacher, who, like
some other folks, has become inflated
by the success of some of his oratori-
cal efforts in another direction. so that
he appears to think what he saws Is
the end OF controversy, is sorry for
the women who wish to be men and
wishes they were, as it would be a
relief to the rest of US.
Now that is sample argument
from the class whom DR.. Parkhurst
represents in the conJroyersy over the
respective rights of the sexes 1t
could be dismissed with a single sem
tence: Because women believe they
are deprived of a right or a privilege
which they claim to be justly theirs,
and ask that it may be given them,
they do not thereby give any excuse
Tor saying they want to be meu; they
desire it entirely as women. With all
due respect to the preacher and the
paper that endorses him. his speech is
a piece of evasive clap-trap.
Does woman show that she wants
to be a man when she desires to con-
troll property which she has earned
or which has been willed to her, in her
own right? There was time when a
married woman could own nothing.
The common law made the man and
wife one, and the man was the one.
All the property she might acquire
during coverture was his, not hers.
Really she and all she might have
were the husbands property
The tendency in modern times and
IN this country, particularly is away
from that relic of barbarisdn, and
women. both married and single, have
individual property rights secured to

HA MAN OF STRAW"
In reference to the threat of cer-
tain coterie that the Liberal party will
be re-organized if the equal suffrage
plank is left in the body of the Con-
etitution, our morning contemporary
calls the Liberal party The Herald's
man of straw We are pleased at
that admission. That is how The Her
aid regards the bugaboo which certain
ex Liberals. still ADVANTAGEOUS anti
Mormons. are trying to hold up for the
purpose OF frightening people whom
they cannot convince.
"a man of straw" That is right. 1t
IS only straw. and that of the widowed
and mangled kind. stuffed into tat
tered and fusty old cast off Liberal
suit. hung out in terrorem for timid
suffragists to gaze upon and tr-r-rem-

It Is of no use for our neighbor to
pretend that the threat has not been
made. that il has not been declared on
the streets of this city. as coming from
the inner circles of select clubdom, that
steps have already been taken to re-
organize the Liberal party. and money
pledged to support the movement. That
story has been told too freely to make
any pretence OF secresy about it. The
air of mystery which has been thrown
around the pretended movement is
sneant to make it impressive.
But it is true it is only a "man of
straw" It win brighten none but fools.

REPUBLICANIssI RAMPANT.
That public money should not be
devoted to private uses, seems so
plain principle of political economy
that it can scarcely be disputed. Pub
lie money is obtained by taxation. It
is levied for the expenses of govern
ment 1t ought to be limited to the
necessities Of the government econom-
ically administered. When taxes are
levied for that purpose they ought not
to be devoted to any other purpose.
That is Democratic doctrine. 1t is
simple truth, straight justice. unadul-
terated equity. It is not Republican,
ism. Why? Because Republicanism
is expediency substituted for principle
And that eNpediency is for the benefit
of the wealthy, the protection and
enrichment of corporate power. It
throws an apple into an orchard. It
gives where there is plenty. 1t law
ishes bounties on organized wealth,
and in doing so takes money con-
tributed by the tax payers for the ex-
penses of government and gives it to
private perons and corporations for
individual enterprises.
But see what good is accomplished
by bounties. See how the money thus
appropriated starts new enterprises
and furnishes employment for labor"
Just so. VINO would not engage in a
venture in which there is a chance to
make money and an assurance of
government support? But what ex-
cuse would it be for an embezzler to
plead that he did much good with the
money he unlawfully appropriated? Is
a thief exempt from punishment on
the plea that what he stole he put to
good uses? And every dollar of
bounty paid out of the public treas
ury, is the robbery of the many for
the benefit of the few. The purpose to
which it is put by the receiver will
not Justify the theft nor the thieves.
When taxes are assessed and collected
for a public purpose and devoted to a
private purpose, the act is enbezzle-
ment, which IS not changed

THE editor of the Globe "Silver Belt" has kick coming over the es- tablishment of the reform school at Flagstaff, and he gives expression to the somewhat remarkable doctrine that the way 10 reform bad boy is to put him in the penitentiary or jail along with hardened criminals. The peni- tentiary is an excellent school for the development of the embryo criminal. There is little chance for the reforms tion of a youth who has been contami- mated by association with the charac- ters that usually adorn the interior of a jail. and it is the province of re- form school to endeayor to correct rather than to punish. The "Silver Belt' advocates the removal of the in. sane asylum to this town, which it says is sp excellent location for such an in- stitution. We are constrained to be- lieve, however, that there is much better field for madhouse around about Globe.

QUEEN LII has abdicated. It was either that or suffer an elongation of tEe neck by means of q hempen cord. Eastern papers are stopping over with praise for "hcr noble act" But was it prompted by any noble feeling? To man up tree, it doesn't look that way. The fat she ruler of the Kama kas and other residents of Hawaii fought the republic to the last ditch and was beaten at every point. After being arrested for treason, and when in danger of having her checkered career brought to an abrupt finale at the end of rope, just like any other conspira, tor against au established government, she suddenly concluded that she did not want to occupy the throne. It just dawned upon her fat intellect that holding down throne was poor job, when she realized that it entailed q speedy and disagreeable demise. Now let King Grover, who is Queen Lil's best friend, emulate her latest move, and prosperity will again locate in both republics.
