IN WALL STREET,

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Speculation at the stock exchange during the early session was heavy and broke from 724s to 70l2 on large transactions. The break was due to the in- junction oosained py Attorney,G Generaa % "a. Ma Trust receipts. With the decline, however, there were more purchases for the long ac- count, and rally to 72A ensued. While Chi cago Gas was declining the general railway list developed strength, and under the leader ship of the grangers and Louisville and Nash vile moved up ss to l ls per cent, Louisville and Nashville leading. In the afternoon a weaker feeling prevailed, on account of the had been postponed for week, the with drawal of $750.O00 of gold for export and the rumored Gemoralization of eastbound gram and provision rates. This led to a decline of 1G1h per cent, and nearly every stock on the list participated in the downward movement.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-07-09

a majority of that body had decided
as alleged, to permit the women of
Utah to register What proof would
that afford that there was plot, "a
deep-seated plot" to prevent Utah
from acquiring statehood? Our Re
publican friends must be indeed very
hard up for an issue
There are absurdities in this Republi-
can roorback which ii would seem even
the dullest of those billiards would be
able 10 perceive. The idea that the
party which has accomplished all that
has been done in the way of securing
statehood for Utah, should now enter
into a deep-seated plot to prevent
what they have so long been endeavor-
I ing to accomplish, is sufficiently ridicu-
lous for even a Republican paper to
appreciate.
In the next place the very purpose
in view of those legal gentlemen who
are of the opinion that women ought
to be permitted to vote next November
is to prevent the possibility of failure
TO achieve statehood. What they have
in view is compliance with all the
terms of the enabling act, so that
there may be no excuse for objection
on the part of the few individuals who
would delight in obstructing the en-
trance of Utah into the Union of
States.
We do not believe a dozen Democrats
can be found who would do anything
If it was in their power, to destroy the
work which the party has accom-
plished toward relieving Utah of the
disabilities of territorial vassalage. On
the other hand we do not believe that
there are a large number of Republi-
cans who would hail with delight any
thing that would give promise of such
a catastrophe as the wreck of the
statehood project
Our friends the enemy will have to
concoct something with more sense in
1t than this stupid rumor, if they want
to get up scare against the Demo-
cratic party or the Democratic mem
bers of the Utah Commission.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-07-09
a RIDICULOUS RooRBAck.

One of the latest Republican roor-
backs is that the Democrats of Utah
have entered into a deep-seated plot
to prevent Utah from acquiring state
hood. The alleged excuse for starting
such a rumor is that the Utah Com
mission propose to permit women to
register. How this is to defeat state
hood is not made very clear. 1t is
conjectured that women in Democratic
counties will be allowed to register
but in Republican counties they will be
denied that privilege.
It is well known that the Utah Com
mission has given no indication that
it will instruct the registration officers
in reference to this matter. Under the
ruling Of the Supreme Court of the
United States. the registration officers
are not TO receive interpretations of
the law in reference to their duties
from the Utah Commission. The prob
ability is that those officers will be left
free so far as the Utah Commission is
concerned, and any dispute that NAV
arise concerning the right of women
to vote at the next election will doubt
less be settled by an appeal to the
courts.
But suppose the Utah Commission or

THAT SCHOOL TAX DECISION.

The ruling of Judge Smith in refer
ence to the validity of the City school
tax provision has stirred up consid-
cradle feeling in educational circles.
There appears to be a very general
| desire that an appeal shall be taken
from his decision. Legal opinion is
| divided on the question whether that
ruling is warranted by the spirit and
intent of the law. Some very learned
lawyers think that his honor went a
little out of his way in order to reach
/ the conclusion at which he arrived.
They believe the law to be capable of
a broader Interpretation. They say the
purpose Of the legislature was to con-
fer upon the officer appointed to coI-
lect taxes for the city, the powers and
authority specified in the school law
in relation to the levying and collec-
! ton of city school taxes.
The Herald has already explained
how the difficulty arising from the non
collection of those taxes may be met.
That is, by the use of such portions
of the taxes as can be legally collected
and by the passage of a remedial
statute as soon as the state legislature
shall meet. That, we believe, will be
the surest and most complete method
Of settling the difficulty.
But, of course, there is another way,
which may accomplish all that is de-
sired, and that is b. an appeal to the
Supreme court of the territory from
the decision Of Judge Smith. In view
Of the fact that SO many intelligent
persons, including experienced attor-
neys, believe that the law is capable
of the Interpretation which was gwen
to it previous to the ruling by Judge
Smith, it is quite possible that the
higher court would reverse that decis-
ion on a full showing of the evident
intent Of the legislature But, of course.
that is a matter of doubt. The Su-
preme Court would have to. be govern
ed by the law and the rules of inter
probation which apply in such cases.
1t was because of the possibility
that the ruling of the lower court
might be affirmed on appeal, that The
Herald recommended the course
marked out in reference to the next |
legislature. But if the parties to the |
suit in the Fourth District court, or
either of them, will take an appeal, |
The Herald, and we believe the public |
generally, will be pleased to have the |
question reviewed and passed upon
by the Supreme Judges. If the decision |
of Judge Smith should be reversed, all |
will be smooth-sailing. If not, then the
remedy we have proposed will be in
order. We do not think it is probable
that an extra session of the territorial
legislature will be called by the Cover
nor for this one purpose.

THE "woMAN's BIBLE.v

The newspapers of the country have
been for some time teeming with
notices more or less IN ridicule of the
so-called ''Woman's Bible Mrs
Elizabeth CGdy Stanton has been
credited with the work Of getting VI
a new Bible, comprising an entire re-
vision of the sacred scriptures and new
interpretations of those parts which
will place woman ON a superior plane
to man. Nothing in it is to give to the
sterner sex any leadership over or
superiority to the daughters of Eve.
Some people have been very much
shocked over what they have con-
sidered the blasphemy Of such an at
tempt to change the writings of inspir-
alton. Others have treated it as a
huge joke and the comments upon it
have been ssprinkled with attempts at
wit and flashes of fun.
1t now appears that the whole report

20 THE UTAH DEMOCRACY.

The Democrats of Utah have every
reason TO be hopeful and to be en-
'couraged by the outlook for 1885. When
we said this two or three months ago
our Republican contemporaries set up
a howl of derision. They regarded Re
publican success in this territory as
a foregone conclusion. They thought
the Republican majority in the consti-
J tutional convention had so fixed af-
fairs that they could capture most of
the counties. They felt they were sure
of the first state legislature and would
IN all probability capture the state
Offices.
But change has come over the
spirit of their dreams. The people
have emerged from the dust and smoke
raised by the Republicans during the
last political campaign in Utah and
are seeing with a clearer vision. The
truth of the fundamental principles of
Democracy shines brightly before
them. The fallacies of Republican sec
tionalisnl, selfshness and monopoly
loom up in the hideous array. The
failures of Republican legislators and
constitutional makers are so palpable.
and the fact that the brains and the
leadership are chiefly in the Demo
cratic party is SO apparent that the
voters are alive to the necessity of
looking, for men on whom they can de-
pend within the ranks of the party of
the Constitution and of the people
By reference to some figures and de-
tails in another part of this paper, our
readers will see that we have substan-
tial reasons for repeating the words of
hope and encouragement which The
Herald has already offered to the citi-
zens of Utah. By diligence, persever-
ence, complete organization, and the
influence of the women citizens united
with tho. Z the men, the Democratic
par; will have good reasons to expect
a triumph at the polls next November.
The party is united, it has been
aroused to action by the reverse of last
fall, and it usually fights better after
a defeat than after victory
The enemy is divided. The ambitions
of so many within its ranks are con-
ficting and the spirit which animates |
them is so antagonistic, that weakness
IS bred among them. They have not =
single live issue on which to go before |
the public. Misrepresentation of the
aims and doings of the Democratic
party is their chief stock in trade. The |
signs of the times are against them.
The trend of popular feeling has turn
ed from the channels of 1894.
Democrats, go in and win. You can
do it if you will Read the facts and
figures presented by The Herald,
buckle on your armor, close up ranks,
anu make up your minds that Utah
shall go into the Union as a Demo-
cratic state. We say this with all con-
idence that it can be done Do not
,alter and do not fail!
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-07-09

is a great mistake. What Mrs. Stan
ton has been endeavoring to accom-
plish is simply to compile comments
on those parts of the Bible which have
reference TO women. She has had no
thought of changing the text. Her
! idea has been to obtain the opinions
of intelligent women of our own time
in regard to what is said in the Bible
concerning their sex.
These views are not to be in any
particular direction of thought. De-
vout women who believe in thu verbal
inspiration of scripture and more
liberal minded women who do not look
upon the Bible as the word of God are
to contribute to this commentary. BY
this means Mrs Stanton thinks she
can reach both the sceptical and the
believing women of the times, and lead
them to understand the fact that the
lnferiority Of woman is not a divine
ordination, but that the sexes are at
least equal if woman be not superior
to man.
AS matter of fact Mrs. Stanton
believes that the Bible is book writ
ten by men as men and for men. She
has no faith that any man ever saw or
talked with Deity. So that those old
Hebrews who claim to have conversad
with God were either imposters or de-
luded by imagination.
There can be do doubt that the pur-
pose in view of Mrs. Stanton and those
who are with her in this Bible com
mentary is to break down in the fe-
male mind that veneration for the
Bible as the very word of God" which
a great many of her sex entertain, and
that the ultimate object in view is to
induce them to cast off any feeling of
subservience to man, created or en-
couraged by the common understand
ing OF the meaning of the scriptures.
After all, then, there is TO be m
'Woman's Bible" The press of the
country has wasted a great deal of
space and considerable FRAMEWORK in
attacking myth. But lit has served /
to advertise Mrs Stanton's venture
and has no doubt secured for her new
commentary on the scriptures a very
wide circulation.

LIGHT IN THE HOME CIRCLE.
Decision Changed By the Influence
of the Supreme Judges wives.

1t was matter Of some surprise that
Justice ShiraS, of the United States SUI
preme Court. should have changed his
mind within a few weeks upon a matter
or law but 1T is not many months since
the whole court changed their mind on
such matter, and that in the course of
few days.
The case before the court was one aris-
ing out of the customs decision at this
port, and the counsel arguing against the
decision of the custom-house was a. New
York lawyer. then fer the first time be-
fore the Supreme Court. The case turn
ed mainly upon the question whether an
article of importation should be classed
as a sauce and taxed it accordingly The
government maintained this contention,
and, of course. the New York lawyer
sought to show that the article should
not be clasSed as Il sauce.
When the Supreme Court came to con-
suit upon the case their unanimous opin-
ion was favorable to the contention of
the government. and one Of the justices
was instructed to prepare q decision in
favor of the custom house. The Justice
on returning home, told his wife of the
case; and indicated the ground of the
decision; whereupon the lady told him in
plain words that the justices of the ST.
preme Court did not know what thew
were talking about. and had agreed upon
clear that the article in dispute could not
properly be called a sauce, and openly
r1d.culed the court.
The perpleXed justice instead of prepar-
ing the decision in accordance with the
Instructions of his brethren, did nothing
in the matter. bur at the next opportun-
ity unfolded to the other justices his
wife's views on the matter, and asked
them to seek domestic counsel on the
case and report at the next consultation
of the court When the consultation
came round the Justices, having taken
feminine counsel, all reported against the
original view that the article involved i'm
the case should be classed as sauce, and
accordingly the justice originally charged
with the task of preparing a decision in
favor of the government was now in
structed to prepare one in favor of the
New York lawyers client. Tt thus hap
pened that the lawyer won his first case
before the Supreme Court because the
wives of tho justices knew more than the
court itself.-New York Sun.
