THE ISSUE Has COME.

The equal suffrage question is before
the constitutional convention. AL
though both the political parties are
pledged to it's support, we understand
there are some delegates who are op-
| posed to it on principle or on policy.
1t seems to US that having been elected
on the platforms of their respective
cannot support woman suffrage, Is to
hold their peace concerning it. But
they have to make their own record.
and we have no disposition to press
upon them anything but what they
feel justified in doing.
A large number of representative
ladies met in convention on Monday
ing, adopted the memorial to the Con-
stitutionaI Convention, which is
printed in another part of The Herald.
It was presented in the afternoon by
Hon. =. S. Richards, and was signed
by the officers of the Territorial Woman
Suffrage Association, OF the National
Relief Society, of the Young Ladies'
the Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Sewer,
Weber, Sanpete and Juab counties
Suffrage Associations. and by a num-
Der of prominent ladies Of different re-
ngions. political and other varying
views. They are all one on the equal
suffrage question.
The interest exhibited by the women
of Utah, irrespective of creed or party
or station, shows that this question is
a matter OF general concern among
their sex. We believe if a vote were
taken nine-tenths of the women Of
Utah would declare for equal suffrage.
This opinion IS formed from acquain-
lance with tae people and their senti-
ments, and is an answer, so far as
Utah is concerned, to the objection
that the majority Of women do not
want woman suffrage.
The fashionable reply to the equal
suffrage promoters is, when the ma
jority of women want the ballot they
can have it," Well, the majority
want it in Utah. 1t is also just as true
that the majority of Utah men favor
it. The opposition comes from the mi
nority and that would be found to be
small If noses were counted through
out the territory.
We hope there will be no disposition
to shirk this question now it has come
to an issue. but that the convention
will take hold of it readily and in earn
est, and place Utah in the van in the
struggle for equal rights, side by side
with Wyoming and Colorado and other
enlightened states, which have moved
up out of the old and partial ruts to
the broad ground Of universal liberty.

LIBERTY AND THE SABBATH.

The argument in favor of abolishing
Sabbatarian Sunday laws is unanswer-
able. 1t is not the province of the state
to prescribe religious observances of any
kind. Under our system of absolute sec
ular government and absolute religious
liberty, the law has rightfully no more
llents. Its sole concern should be to pro-
tsct every citizen equally in his right to
co as he pleases with regard to religious
observances. Freedom to worship God
does not mean freedom TO compel other
people to worship God in the same way.
Laws prescribing the observance of any
day as Sabbath or as holy time to
ute, are utterly obnoxious to the genius
OF our system. They are unfair. unequal
and oppressive. They ought to be strick-
en- from the statute book as laws irrecon-
cilable with the fundamental ideas of
American liberty.-N. Y. World.

.BoNDs NO." NO BONDS.

The returns that have come in from
the several precincts i9 this county, in
Guiding this city, shoR that the pro-
position to issue bonds in the sum OF
$4,000 to pay off the floating debts
| of the county has been defeated by a
considerable majority. The Herald is
not surprised at this result, because
there has been all along a rnisunder-
standing in relation to the matter,
added to a very strong prejudice
against bonds in general.
There is something more than all
! that. The expression has been freely
made ever since the bonds were pro-
posed, that many people had no con-
fidence in the county court, and felt no
| assurance that the money raised by the
bonds would be put to the uses an
nounced. They point to the fact that
the selectmen endeavored to secure
pay for themselves while they shut off
payment from the treasury for obli-
cations previously incurred.
We are sorry that the majority of
the people have taken this position
We believe they are mistaken, and that
when the debt now owing has been
| increased by the addition Of the inter
est on the warrants issued at eight
per cent. per annum. they will see
where they have made an error and
will be ready and anxious to reverse
their action.
The disbursement in this county Of
the greater portion of the $S75,OO0 would
have afforded a stimulus to business
and industry which would have been
quickly perceptible. And the saving
of the difference between eight and
five per cent would have been for the
benefit Of all the taxpayers.
Both sides of the controversy have
been given in The Herald, but some
communications came together in such
volume that they had to be omitted.
However. as the bonds have been
voted down we presume the writers
will feel satisfied, anyway.
There need be no ill-feeling over the
result. The county authorities will
have to proceed as best they may IN
der the crippled condition of the county
finances. By economy, curtailing ex-
penses, making few improvements,
paying off as much of the indebtedness
as possible and a general course of
prudence and thrift, they viii be able
to carry on the county business and
may establish such confidence in the
hearts of the people that more willing
ness will be shown in the future than
in the past or the present to place in
the hands of the county court means
to redeem all the county obligations.

A HALF DOZEN SUGGESTIONS.

The following suggestions are of.
fered to the legislative committee OF
the Constitutional Convention:
IConfine the power Of the legisla-
ture within limits as marrow as pos
sfble consistent with proper regula-
ton of the affairs of state.
Legislation is necessary-our laws
will be multiplied very rapidly-after
placing all the limits possible there
will yet be a great deal and what is
left is always subject to great abuse
II-Prescribe forms of proceeding
which will insure elaboration and pub
LEFTY.
Provide that all bills for acts shall
be reported by or through a commit
tetee. read at least three times on diff
ferent days in each house, ETC., each
bill to have but one subject matter
and that to be fully expressed in its
title; no bill to become a law except
on a majority vote of all the members
elected to both houses, and the title
of the act to be publicly read by the
presiding officer before signing.
corruption.
Legislators if bribed are bought in
an indirect way-by presents; by en-
ployment as attorneys or agents.; by
donation of an interest in the subject
matter, as stock in corporation, etc.
house, by making all private solicita-
ton of legislators by interested par
ties or agents a public offence.
The corrupt lobby has become a
stencil in the nostrils of every assem-
bly,. 1t often controls both houses. Let
all advocates or opponents of meas
ures be heard openly by committees
having charge of the bills.
V-Make all fraudulent acts OF the
legislature void.
All legislative grants are generally
considered inviolable no matter if pro-
cured by fraud, deception or bribery.
This is said to be the law as laid
down by the United States Supreme
Court, but the principle apparently de-
cided by it is not found in the common
law and it is in conflict with plain
justice and common sense. Private
grants, judicial DEGREES and executive
concessions are utilities when brought
in contact with any kind of corrup-
ton; yet generally the grossest fraud
when committed by the legislature is
considered sacred. This doctrine should
be abolished, with such reservations
as will prevent loss to the innocent;
but no state can afford to pay a pre-
MUM for legislative rascality. If leg
islative acts were made void for cor
ruption, who would think 1t worth
while to pay brides?
VI-Require every member before
taking his seat to swear that he will
support and obey the constitution in
all things. and then at the close of the
session to make oath that he has done
so
Members should swear both to sup
port and obey and if their hands are
clean they can easily swear they have
done both. This will cut off inter-
course with lobbyists and all improper
influences.
Legislators should be ''held hard to
their duty" they give no bonds and
should take such oaths as are herein
suggested.
