THE WOMEN OF UTAH.

Among the auguries of good omen for
Utah, whose statehood is drawing near
under Frightening prospects, is the organ
ization of the "Women's Republican
League" which was effected at Salt Lake
last week. Many of the ablest and
worthiest women in the Territory took
part as leaders in the movement, and have
already accomplished so much that the
success of the organization and its useful
ness to the new State may be considered
foregone conclusion.
The organization is not designed merely
to hold women's congresses and make
speeches. 1t means business and good
politics, and will be conducted on the
most approved methods of canvassing.
The central body will organize branch Of
the league in each precinct in each county
for the purpose of registering all Republi-
can women in the precincts and instruct
ing them in the Importance of attending
to their political duties during the cam
paign and on election day.
III an earnest address to the women of
the Territory the promoters of the league
call attention to the fact that the success
of the Republican party in 1896 may de-
ptuQ largely upOu llS dCIlNlty VI tuc Ut
publican women in preparing at once for
the possible exercise of the franchise in
that year. every woman" as the ad-
dress says, "may be proud to call herself a
Republicans member of the party which
stands alone in being able to boast, can
look backward without shame and I can
look forward with exultation."
Women as well as men are interested
and concerned in the maintenance in this
country of the great policies OF protection,
reciprocity, public Improvements and the
support of a true Americanism both at
home and abroad; and since it seems clear
that Utah will adopt the proposed consti-
tuition with clause giving women tn.
right to vote it is manifestly a judicious
movement on the part of the women who
hold social and natural leadership in the
Territory to organize at once in order that
every woman may be secured in the privi-
lege of casting ballot for the protection
of the industry that makes the welfare of
American homes.

of them moreover have some local favorite
who is candidate for the Presidency, and
are therefore to some extent untitled for a
convention that is intended to act impair
TALLY between all candidates. San Francisco
being the metropolis of the greatest gold
State in the Union, but having strong
affiliations with the silver States and hav-
ing moreover no favorite candidate for the
Presidency, is decidedly the most proper
place for holding the convention. These
facts can hardly be overlooked by the Ma
tional Committee when selecting the place
in which the convention shall be held
The remoteness of San Francisco from the
center of population is only seeming dis
advantage. Whatever adverse argument
may be drawn from that fact can be readily
answered. The chances of our success
therefore are increasing every day, and,
with a good strong effort at home, we are
reasonably sure of winning.

THOSE MINERAL LANDS.

In spite OF the announcement made by
the General Government that it had decided
to patent to the Southern Pacific the lands
within its granted belt which are claimed
by Californians to be mineral, and there
the California Miners Association is
determined to continue the fight, and for
that purpose meeting of the executive
committee will be held at the Palace Hotel
on the evening of the Goth inst. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Ricketts,, the asso-
cations attorney, went to Washington
recently to lay the matter before the Presi-
dent, that Cleveland seemed to be greatly
interested in his presentations, and that
he promised to look carefully into the
subject before permitting action to be
taken. His neglect or refusal to Keep that
promise is equally we'll remembered.
The Importance of the matter has been
greatly increased by the recent renewed
activity in the mining industry. A re-
markable change, hardly appreciated by
the general public, has been taking place
during the past year. Mines which years
ago were abandoned as worked out have
proved under the more scientific investiga-
ton which they recently received to be
very valuable properties. More than this,
the introduction of new methods of re-
duction and treatment has given a high
value to mines bearing low grade ore which
formerly were deemed worthless. When
we are informed that, by strict economy
and the use of the best machinery, one
mine in Shasta County is yielding a COM
Portable profit at 81 ton, we may under
stand thee and extent of the present
movement.
Besides this discoveries of rich ledges
are constantly being made. The hasty.
inexpert methods of prospecting in the
early days have been superseded by more
thorough and enlightened system and the
results are surprising. Although capital
is now pouring into the mining regions as
investments in mining properties, most of
it appears to be going into old mines.
This undoubtedly is a measure of caution
and suggests the need of more thorough
uncovering Of ledges before offering them
for sale. Most of the capital going into
the mines comes from the old-time mining
capitalists of San Francisco. but London is
sending generous quantity and is under
StooQ TO nave numDer OF expert agents IN
the field looking for other properties. The
almost universal report is that the mines
are yielding handsome returns.
In view of all these facts and the disap-
pearance of the old swindling methods
that formerly obtained in. marketing min
ing properties, to the great detriment of
the industry, there is every reason why the
efforts of the railroad to secure a large
body of land which may prove to be rich
in precious minerals should be opposed
with the weight of the whole State. The
Miners Association has done conspicu-
ously able work in the past, and as one of
the most valuable OF the forces working
for the protection and advancement of the
State it deserves the sympathy and CO.
operation of every good citizen.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-17
THE COURSE OF THE FIGHT.

While nothing was done by the Board OF
Supervisors on Monday evening to recall
the attempt made to give valuable fran
chise to the Market-street Railway Com
pany in violation of the plain requirements
of the statute, there were nevertheless to
be noted in the proceedings some evidences
of weakening on the part OF the majority
that made the attempt. 1t seems clear,
therefore, that the protests already made
by the people have had some effect. and
the outlook for the future is decidedly bet
ter than it has been.
Among the evidences of the weakening
on the part of the ring was the passage by
general consent of resolution declaring
that from and after the date of its passage
no contracts for street work shall be entered
into for the City unless first subjected to
bids. This is a measure that has long
been needed. 1t promises to do away
with the private-contract system, which,
with its iobbery and suspicious transac-
tions, has so long been stumbling block
in the way of improved streets and
cheaper as well as better work. To have
obtained the passage of this resolution is
distinct gain to the people, and shows
tion for good government.
Whatever public qualification may be
felt at the good work accomplished on
Monday evening, it should not in any way
diminish the popular zeal in the contest
against the proposed street-railroad grab.
The designing Supervisors and the Market
street Railway Company must be made
to understand that the opposition to this
iniquity will not end with a protest; it
will be a determined fight to finish. The
growing civic patriotism of the people of
San Francisco has created resolute pub.
lie sentiment in support of law. There is
in the present instance no antagonism to
the Supervisors personally, no spirit of op-
position to the Market-street Railway
Company in itself, no objection to the con-
struction of the proposed road. The obiec-
tion is directed solely to the methods pur-
sued the opposition is reused only be-
cause of the violation of law. The antag
onism is the necessary attitude of law
abiding, honest men toward corporations
and officials who endeavor to evade the
law or to override in contemptuous disre-
gard of public opinion popular rights,
civic welfare and the honor, dignity and
power of the State.
The issue of the contest will afford pre-
cedent for the whole State, and for all
time to come. so long as this law remains
on the statute book. The particular road
involved in this instance amounts to little,
therefore, in comparison with the far
reaching consequences that will result
from the final decision. If the monopoly
wins, the law will be nullity all over the
State, and official corruption will have a
new lease of life. If, on the other hand,
the people win, the law will be vindicated,
Justice will be done and municipal admin
istration will have taken long stride in
the direction of honesty and right gov
eminent.

IMPROVING CHANCES.

Despite the conditions, seemingly ad-
verse, under which San Francisco acts in
seeking to obtain the next Republican Ma
tional Convention, there are many signs
that she will not have her labor in vain.
1t appears that the contest between the
gold men and the silver men in the East
has taken the form of struggle for the
selection of the place of holding the con-
vention. The extreme gold men wish to
hold it in some city on the Atlantic coast,
and the extreme silver men are very natur-
ally opposed to the project. The question,
therefore, is rapidly taking the form of a
sectional contest, with the extreme East
against the great West, and in such an
issue the West ought to prove victorious.
All cities of adequate size and accommo-
dations in the Mississippi Valley have had
one or more National conventions, and
have no just claim, for the next one. Most

THREE GREAT PROPOSITIONS.

The next exhibition given under the auspices
of the Mechanics Institute of San Francisco
will consist almost entirely of goods and
machinery manufactured in California. 1t
will prove an in teresting exhibition, and many
Californians will open their eyes in wonder at
the progress the State has made in the way of
production of both goods and machinery

vention of those in favor of bimetallism re-

August 19, 1895. The money question is one
of vital Importance to all the people of this
country, and in view of the wide difference of
opinion regarding it, there is great need to be-
come as well informed as possible upon the
subject.-ventura Free Press.
Many months ago the Enterprise prophesied

But within the last decade manufacture
ing industries have had q wonderful de-
velopment in the South. Baltimore has
already begun to make preparations for
q worlds fair in 1897. The Washington Star
notes that the estimated cost of the exposition
buildings to be erected in Baltimore is $5,-
600, 900. There were $4,000 900 paid admis-
sions at the Columbian Fair. That city counts
on IL ,0OO, 900 visitors between May and No
vember of 1897. These will average more than
two admissions. The overflow of visitors will
go to Washington, SO that that city will reap
large incidental benefts.-Oakland Tribune.
