cago is located-two ladies appeared
and made speeches, in the course of
which they said: eve are not re-
formers And subsequently,, Put a
woman on your ticket, and the whole
influence of womankind in the state
will be exerted for its success"
The first remark Is disappointing, as
it has been hoped that women will al
ways be "reformers," and especially
has it been supposed that they would
work for the publication of politics.
The request that a woman be put up
on the ticket, and the pledge follow
ing that "the whole influence of wo-
mankind in the state would be exerted
for its success is equally disappoint-
ing. AS pointed out by the Chicago
Chronicle, we may say that no frank
er declaration of unreasoning partisan
ship, no blunter proposition for a po-
litical trade was ever made by an I'M
regenerate ward politician" In the i'll
considered remark of these women it
would seem to make no difference
what kind of men might have been
named on the ticket. they were willing
to work for the success of the whole
ticket if only women found a place
upon it.
We expect better things of women in
Utah than that. We expect that they
will be always and in all parties ere
formers" That the yellow dog theory
of party politics will not obtain favor
with them; that because a ticket has
women upon it and another may not
have; or because one ticket has more
women upon it than another, we do
not therefore believe that that ticket
before all others. and without regard
to the class of men that may be placed
upon it. or the principles for which it
stands, will receive their support Wo-
men in politics will be disappoint-
ment if such is to be the course pur-
sued. We hope for better things, we
believe in better things from Utah wo-
men,

~CoINn AND THE CHAIN.

An eastern exchange commenting on
the endless chain furnished by the
greenbacks and treasury notes with
which the United States treasury may
be ralded Of its gold reserve at the
pleasure of the gold spectators, says:
Under its operations the gold reserve
can be depleted at any time by COM
bination of persons who are willing to
make profit out of the necessities of
the government. We Shall never have
a thoroughly satisfactory national sys-
TEN of finance until the endless chain''
is no longer in existence and provision
has been made for the retirement and
cancellation Of the greenbaeks and
treasury notes, the "cut-worms" Of
the treasury. 1t would be impossible to
say how many of the new bonds will
be paid for in gold taken from the
sub-treasuries, but every dollar with
drawn to be returned to the treasury
in payment of bonds is an addition to
the national debt without the advant-
age of an equal consideration in re-
turn, If congress would follow the re-
concentrations of the president and
secretary of the treasury, the "endless
chain" would soon be broken and our
finances would be established upon a
rational basis.
There certainly is one other method
by which the reserve gold may be de-
Tended against the treasury raiders,
and that would be to enforce the law
and pay demand currency in COIN
in silver as well as gold; in silver

ury officials it is to the interest

HE ApPRovEp THE Book.

Chauncey NJ. Depew was telling a story
Saturday about a police superintendent
in one of our inland cities. The man was
a sharp, shrewd fellow, who worked his
way up from the ranks, with little or no
education. A boy was arrested at the sta
ton by one of the officers, and in due
time brought before the superintendent.
The officer said that the boy had run
away from his home in the east and was
going west to fight Indians. The super
intendent asked if any weapons had been
found on the youthful desperate. The Off
Ger replied that the only thing found on
him was a book. The Superintendent con-
tfnued: ''These dime novels are doing
more to injure boys characters and to
drive them from home than anything else.
Let me see it," The officer handed him the
book. He took it and opened it. Then he
said: This is the Bible-eh? 1 have heard
a lot about this book, but I have never
read it. Wait until I see what it says"
He began to read slowly and labOriouSly.
After twenty minutes silence he took his
feet down from the desk, placed his
glasses back in the case, and said kindly
to the boy: well my little man, L am
surprised that with a book of this kind
in your possession you should have de-
cided to run away from home" Turning
to the officer, he said in q matter of fact
way: There are some really good things
in it."-New York Times.

TO ExTERMINATE THE SEALS.

The house committee on ways and
means has voted to report bill for
killing all the seals in Boring sea, I'M
less an effective agreement for their
protection can be reached. 1t is doubt
full if there was ever anything so bar
barous proposed in the legislative
body Of any nation, ancient or modern,
civilized or uncivilized. No small boys
quarreling over a squirrel they had
captured ever made greater display
of i'll temper and pure cussedness in
stoning the little thing to death than
this vote to report bill for killing all
the seals in Boring sea does. Such a
proposition is humiliating beyond ex-
preston. What kind Of committee on
ways and means has the speaker ap-
pointed? BY its vote yesterday it is
evidently a committee far better fitted
to bring disgrace upon the nation than
to devise ways and means for raising
revenue.
For years past the seal question has
been an important one. The efforts of
this government to protect them and
save tnSul from eAtern1lndI1Oln nave
been praiseworthy and have almost
led to serious international complica-
tons. It was found that prohibiting
the killing of them within the three
mile limit did not materially lessen
their capture and slaughter Then an
effort was made to come to an agree
ment with the nations most interested
to prevent peIagic seal hunting and
killing. The result was the Paris agree
ment, which has not proved satisfac-
tory to any one. That 1t has not and
that there is no near prospect, if any,
of a satisfactory agreement being ar
rived at, is no justification for such
action as the ways and means COM
mittee of the house recommends. The
seals are being exterminated as fast
as any one could wish. Why turn the
United States navy into fleet for the
pursuit and killing of the seals in
Boring sea? If such course is de-
cided upon. common courtesy requires
that we ask England and Russia to
join in the great hunt. 1t will be done

to the preservation of its gold
reserve to do So Whenever law con-
fers upon officials the power to do
either of two things their power to use
their discretion cannot be questioned.
and the law comforting the option upon
them does not mean that it belongs to
! some one else-that is, to refer the
case in hand, when the law gives power
to the secretary of the treasury to re-
| deem United States notes and theas-
ury notes in 'coin"-which means be-
yond question either gold or siIver-and
leaves the choice of payment in either
gold or silver with the treasury officials
that does not mean at the option of the
man who presents the demand notes.
when ever law gives an option into the
hands of an officer, it is clearly for
some purpose or other and in this
instance it was unquestionably given
that the officers might guard the
interests of the government, and
by that means guard also the in
terests of the people to whom the gov
eminent belongs. To suppose that it
was the intent of the law to have the
officials use that option in such man
ner as to play into the hands of pro-
fessional treasury raiders, and gold
Spectators is the very highest pitch of
obsurdity. Pay these raiders silver
tell them to bring wagon and be pre-
pared to cart away their silver for
their demand notes payable in coin"
at the option of the government. and
their raids for treasury gold will stop,
the endless chain will be broken,
and much of our governments financial
perplexity will vanish into thin air.
A little Stiffening of the backbone of
Secretary Carlisle when he first had
intact the $780, 900, 900 gold reserve would
have been of very great deal more
value to the United States than it's
successful bond sales. Nor would
there have been any financial panic:
and if there had been one the govern
ment would not have been responsible
for it. But as a matter of fact there
would have been none, as the men who
have raided the treasury and traded
upon the timidity of the treasury adj
ministration would have been power
less to have created one and the COM
bined interest of business and in
dustry would have united to prevent
it.
Payment in coin" in silver as we'll
as in gold, in silver when the interest
of the government demanded it, would
at once have broken the endless
chain," preserved the gold reserve and
with it the credit of the nation.

FREE snYHR's DEATH BLOW.

The cause of dishonest money in the
United States is dead. Speaker Reed and
the Republican representatives who 10y
ally follow his leadership have inflicted
upon it crushing defeat, from which it
can never rally. Yesterdays vote in the
house shows where the Republican party
stands and what the American people
think of the abominable scheme to pay
the wages of labor and the obligations of
their government in coin whose dollar
stamp is Haunting lie. Unlike the dis
credited senate, which stands in shame
less opposition to the popular will the
house of representatives is responsive to
the mandate of the people. 1t is over
whelmingly Republican because a vast
majority of the intelligent voters of the
United States are Republicans. 1t en-
phatically condemns the imbecile project
to degrade American currency, because
the Republican party, which contains the
brains and conscience of this nation, is
the resolute champion of sound money, of
dollar which is always and everywhere
worth one hundred cents, and of the credit
of the government which it saved from
ruin at the hands of Democratic wreckers

No sane man, certainly not the Junior
senator from Pennsylvania, will for a sim
gle instant consider the announced presi-
Dental candidacy of Matthew Stanley
Quay seriously. The country has not al
ways chosen it's best man for the great
office of Chief Magistrate, but it has never
chosen one from the practically political
class of which the Pennsylvania senator
is SO conspicuous a representative. Fit
ness still counts for something, except
in Philadelphia in the cases of candidates
for city councils. Besides, Mr.. Quay does
not wish to be president, it suits him bet
ter to make presidents.-Philadelph
