WOMEN FOR BRYAN.

The last issue of Frank Leslie's con-
tains an interesting article on the work
being done by the women in this can
paign. it being particularly interesting
because of the showing made of strong,
conscientious woman support of
Bryan and bimetallism. On this point
it says:
In the past few months some of the
most prominent women of the country
have come out in rapid succession for
Bryan and silver" announcing their
decision to use money, talent and in
fiuence unsparingly to bring about the
success of the free coinage of silver.
Among those who have enlisted in
the cause, the following are named:
Mrs. Imogen c. Fales, Mrs. Elizabeth
Sheldon Tillinghast, Mrs. Helen Gou-
gar, Mrs. Charles Southeran. Mrs.
Mary P. Irving and Mrs. 1. Adele
WEIGH.
The subjoined paragraph shows the
character and earnestness of the work
being done by our women allies:
Even some of the women of conserv-
alive New England are adopting as
their motto that There is but one
money standard and Bryan is its
prophet" Perhaps the most enthu-
siastic of these standard bearers is
Mrs. Elizabeth Sheldon Tillinghast,
woman of fine mental training and
social standing. the wife of e. Mont
clair TillinghaSt. and daughter of
Judge Sheldon, of New Haven. Mrs
Tillinghast is an eloquent speaker, and
her convictions are of that cast-iron
variety that spring from the Puritan
conscience. She win stump" for Bryan
until the day of his election or defeat
The issue in this campaign, as has so
often been said. is essentially of a
moral character. There is no moral
question that the women will not be
on the right side of when they come
to understand it, and it is not surpris-
ing. therefore, to find such a strong
array of women enlisted in the interest
of the free coinage ticket. If there
were time for the mothers and
daughters and sisters of this country
to come to a full understanding of the
point involved in the contest they
would be found Overwhelmingly on the
silver side and their influence would
win a multitude of votes.
Here in Utah the women. more for
tunate than their sisters in most other
states, are not obliged to rely upon any
form of proxy for recording their con-
victions of right; as a rule they under
stand the moral issue that has been
raised, and their views will find their
way to the electors urn without any
intermediate agency. The Herald an
ticipates that the woman Bryan vote
will be proportionately larger than that
cast by the men.

TIE BIG MOON.

The big moon came TO the euge OIL IHe Say
And pierced me with its dart;
I strove to put its brightness by
Before it burned my heart.
I wrapped the windows thick and well,
l closely barred the door;
The light of my penny candles fell
On low-built wall and floor.
The little room and the little light
Began to comfort me;
But [ heard-I heard the golden night
Call like a sounding sea.
I knew the moon swan in the sky,
And the earth swan in the moon;
/ went outside on the grass to lie,
To yield to the deadly swoon.
NY soul was filled with white moon-rain
Till it ran Ger and o'er
My soul was thrilled with bright moon
pain
Till it could bear no more
[ stole back through the curtained gloom
Upstairs unlit and steep,
And in a low-ceiled darkened room
My heart was healed with sleep.
-Ethelwyn Wetherald.

There is a boom in the wheat mar
ket. We shall all hope that it is bona
fide and that it will be maintained, but
there are reasons for viewing it with
suspicion. Some time ago the pointer
was confidentially given out from Nc
Kinley sources that there was a chance
to make money in the cereal, as there
was to be bulge" for effect upon the
country, the idea being to demon
strate ca to the farmers that there
is no relation between the wheat and
silver markets.

Winter and election are approaching
together, and it is interesting to note
that many of our eastern friends are
afflicted with nightmare with respect
to each. The coal trust worries them

the other.

Iord DuTertn For peace.

BELFAST, Oct 20. - The Marquis of
Dufferin, newly retired from the post Of
British ambassador at Paris, was accorded
"a banquet here, at which he made a speech.
Although England was not loved, the
marquis said, she had no dispute with
any nation of Europe except Turkey. The
salvation Of Armenians, no asserted, can
net bo found in any scheme applied to the
Armenians alone, but in reforms giving
protection to all Turkish subjects. The
marquis also expressed the hope that the
United States and England would be the
first to practically apply the principle Of
arbitration td the settlmest OF interna-
tlonal disputes. Every Englishman's soul
would revolt In horror, he said, at tho
thought OF any fratricidal collision with
the United States, which could only result
in involving the United States and them
in a common ruin.
