THE LEsIsL AZURE.


In the minds of the people of the
state no doubt the leading question is,
Who Will bel elected United States
senator? Il is an important question,
which cannot be answered at the pres
ent time Whoever he may be he will
be good Democrat, a good silver man,
man who will have the best interests
of Utah and her people at heart The
prize of the sena torship IS so great
that all eyes are turned towards it, and
are ant to overlook lesser matters of
much importance.
When a senator shall have been
elected the legislature should immedi-
ately get down to work; it will be i'm
possible before that time. There are
some laws that need amending, some
that need repeating. Among the latter
class are those granting bounties on
silkworm cocoons and canaigre root
The bounties granted on these by the
last legislature have not resulted in
any stimulation of the industries, so
far as we can learn, so that even that
poor excuse cannot be urged in their
favor
The work of the code commission
should be passed upon, and we believe
adopted, as it seems to have been very
thoroughly and conscientiously done.
so far as we are informed.
Appropriations should be ample for
all the needs of the state, and its in.
situations, but not lavish; economy
should be the watchword. When they
are made taxes sufficient TO meet them
all should be laid.
The legislature is overwhelmingly
Democratic, and it will be within its
power to enact or repeal such laws as,
in is wisdom, it may deem for the
best interests of the state. While the
executive will not be in harmony with
it politically, there is no antagonism be-
tween the two. There SHOULD be no
attempt TO play politics. The best
politics in the world will be to serve
the people honestly, sincerely. wisely.
1t is scarcely to be expected that Gov
ernor Wells will attempt to play poll
tics, he being without support in the
legislature. If he does, the Legislature
will know perfectly well what to do.
Let the legislatures work be we'll
done, and it will be best done and most
satisfactory to the people, if only that
is attempted which is necessary to be
done; let the session be as short as
possible, and with such a record the
legislators can return to their constit-
uents, by whom they will be welcomed.
and they will elect a Democratic legis-
lature two years hence.

CURFEW LAW.

In New York. it is said, the city au-
thoritfes are about 10 adopt and en-
force a curfew ordinance. The revival
of this old idea has been quite marked
in recent years. Wherever the plan
has been tried it has given the highest
satisfaction and it seems TO be one of
those practices of the past that should
be generally restored.
There is no reason why young per-
sons should be on the streets at night;
there is every reason why they should
be under the parental roof after dark
ness falls. The nighi5 serves as a cloak
for evil. which sinks away in the day
light. but boldly invades the most pub
lie places when the sun has dlsap-
peared. To what extent the young are
corrupted by The wickedness that lays
snares for them on city streets at night
could never be correctly estimated; but
it is certain that thousands go to de-
gtructfon simply through familiarity
wish evil ways thai IS gained in youth
by contact with the powers of dark
ness under the shielding curtain of the
night
AS no good reason exists for permit
ting youth to roam abroad at night,
and as muititudes would be protected
and saved if they were kept at nome,
common sense would seem to teach us
that the curfew law is a measure to
be desired.
Parents who have proper regard for
che welfare of their children do not
permit them to run loose after night
fall. But there are multitudes who
seemingly do not care what paths their
offspring follow, or who are unable to
control tlem. As the community has
an interest in the child second only to
that of the parent, 1T becomes the duty
of the public to assist in protecting
that child when, for any reason, the
Daren. fails

HANNA AND DAVENPORT.

The pictorial idea. Of Mark Hanna is
Davenport's car4catures Of him, and
that idea will always exist in the minds
of those who shall retain a vivid re-
membrance of the campaign just over.
Well, Mr.. Hanna and his pictorial BOs-
we'll have just met and the New York
Journal describes the meeting as fol-
lows:
Mark Hanna and Homer Davenport
have met, shaken hands and declared
aid bets off until next time.
The meeting between the victorious
Republican chairman and the great
caItoon5st was arranged with all the
nicely of an affair Of honor.
Since Davenport first clothed Mr..
Hanna in his suit of S plaid, both have
been anxious to know more CO each
other. Day after day the artist racked
his brain TO invent new attitudes fer
Mr.. Hanna, and the Republican Chair
man simply gTinned and wondered
what was going to happen 10 him next.
In the heat of the campaign, when
the chairman saw his features diStort-
ed, his eyes grow smaller, his ears
larger and his wrinkles deeper, until,
while resembling an unclassified ami
NAL, a likeness was still maintained,
he wondered what manner of man was
Davenport.
Did you ever meet the fellow that
does these things?" was the question
to which Mr.. Hanna answered No
frequently.
Ever meet HANNAH" Davenport s
friends inquired of the cartoonist.
i've seen him a few times. but never
been introduced 10 him." was the re-
ply. Don't think I'd better be, yet."
When the last vote was cast and the
campaign was over, friends decided
that, each having been so closely asso-
cfated with the other, the picture of
one seldom appearing without the sig
nature of the other, they should be
brought together. Both were delighted
with the proposition, and the other day
Assistant Secretary Perkins of the ma
eional committee introduced Mr.. Dav-
export TO Mr.. Hanna
The meeting took place in Mr.
Hanna's office at national feadquar-
tiers. Secretary Perkins led the way
into the chairman's room and said:
Mr.. Hanna, allow me TO introduce
You 10 Mr.. Homer Davenport
Mr.. Hanna's face took on a semi
hand and shook hands, saying:
80 you are the scamp, are you,
that's been doing it? Well. amt you
ashamed of yourself?"
The caTdcaturist laughed, while the
political manager added: Mr.. Daven-
port, I'm happy to meet YOU I admire
your genius and execution, but -
your conception
Pm glad TO see you take 1T that
way. 1 was undecided whether to come
armed or not. replied the artist. Then

OCCUPATIONS OF WOMEN.

That the political and industrial re-
lations of women to men are rapidly
and radically changing there is no
doubt In three states of the Union
women have the same political rights
that men have. In our own state, less
than year old, they have been elected
to the legislature. The recognition of
their rights throughout all the states
will be slow process but it will yet
come.
Women are very fast invading the
various occupations that in the past
have been supposed to belong to men.
Women Clerks in stores are now as
common as men. while they have al
most usurped the occupation of type
writing There are comparatively few
offices in which the typewriter is not a
young woman. In journalism women
are making their way. and it opens to
them an occupation to which they are
well adapted.
Consul Sawter, at Glanchau. Ger
many, has recently made a very in
teresting report to the state department
on the growth of the textile industry
in the German empire. There has been
a great growth of the industry, but the
remarkable fact about it all is that
the number of males engaged in the
Industry has decreased while the num-
Der of females engaged has increased.
According to the report the exact
number Of employees last year was
1,017,112, against 1882 in 1880. Since
1883 the males have decreased from

misguided; and in other respects he
will be powerless to do what his judg-
ment and conscience may dictate He
will enter upon the presidency pledged
to conduct the government upon the
theories of what is termed the money
power. That power not only has his
pledge, but it holds the weapons in its
hands by which to enforce compliance
with it. He may feel perfectly easy in
his, mind about the part the combines
took in his election. but he may feel
an inclination to revolt against some
of the things that he will find himself
expected to do. Will he revolt? No,
ne viii not dare to. A man who ac
copied the leadership of the interests
of the money power cannot be ex-
pected TO inaugurate a revolution to
overthrow it. Nothing short of COM
plete revolution would release him;
50 long as he is not released, ne will
do as hidden: and the influences con-
trolling his action will weigh against
the public interests
Mr.. Mckinley was urged all through
with respect to trusts, but refused to
say word on the subject. Now papers
like the Times-Herald, whose proprie-
tors stand very close TO him, are busy
attempting to make it appear that he
is on the side of the people. Another
of them within a few days has taken

ize the awkwardness of the trust al
lance that he has tacitly accepted; but
there is no possibility that their pro-
testations can weaken the binding force
of that alliance.

A THRILLING SPEECH.

Ex-President Harrison made q
speech to the farmers congress in In
dianapolis on Thursday, in the course
of which he made some statements
that will not bear very close investi-
cation. Among other things, he said
1T is a custom of the times for men
of particular occupation to associate
themselves together to develop and
cultivate mutual interests. Such or
CARNATIONS are to be encouraged, but
we must not forget that lawyers, far
mers and laborers all have interests,
and that no one class should try to
get the better of the other classes We
are all rejoicing that you are getting
little more for your wheat and corn,
though it is at the expense of us who
have to pay a little more for the things
We consume"
The public would like to know what
his advice to any class would be as to
what it should do in the event of it's
finding that another had seized an i'm
proper advantage over it. Mr.. Harri-
son took an active part in the recent
campaign. One of the claims made by
the Republican party, in whose inter
were attempting to secure an advan-
tage over others; and it may fairly be
inferred that he limited at that in the
remarks quoted.
Now, if the farmers should not strive
to secure an advantage over any other
class. it follows that no other class
should strive to secure an advantage
over them. But when advantage is
taken of the farmers, what would Har-
rison have them do? 1t looks as
though his application of the rule were
one-sided-as though he would have
the farmers accept injustice lest an
attempt to right it might be construed
as an effort to take advantage of those
who had perpetrated the wrong.
Again, the ex-president said: TT is
mischievous to denounce classes, and
this thing and that. If there are trusts,
let us know it and bring legislation
to bear upon them, and court DEGREES
to bear upon them; and then we have
accomplished something. If any man
Will make IL pain TO the American
people that he is oppressed, that he is
not getting his rights, then l under
take to say that the American people
will be on his side against whatever
may Cypress him.
How would the general have legisla-
ton brought to bear upon trusts
when he and his party insist on legis-
lating in favor of trusts? Has it not
been made plain that the people are
oppressed? Yet General Harrison him
self joined in the campaign on the side
Of the agencies of oppression What
sort of consistency is it for a man to
advise the farmers to appeal to the
people, when he put himself at the
head of a campaign to induce the peo-
pie to believe that the evil against
which the appeal is made should be
sustained?
Mr.. Harrison knows there are trusts:
he knows trusts should not exist; he
knows he has this year contributed
toward their continued existence: and
his speech was therefore trif1ing in the
extreme.

TIE proportions OF the Republican
victory have grown beautifully less as
the official figures have come in. In
Ohio the majority is $50, but trifie
more than lalf what ii was last year.
Indiana gave only 10000 for the Repub-
lfcan ticket In Iowa, where it was
claimed that all records had been dis
tanced. the figure is 1888, very little
different from that of the last eiec-
ton. The Republican papers have
talked about a great sweep" but the
figures show than there is the most
urgent reason for Hanna's plan to con-
tinue the campaign at once.
