An Ideal Antlseptic.

Hermitine, Or electrolyzed salt
water, besides its use as a disinfect-
ant for sewerage, is now employed as
an antiseptic in Paris hospitals. DR..
Proger, chief surgeon of the Deaf and
Dumb Childrel's asylum at Asmeres,
recently told the Academic de Medi-
cine, as the result Of long experiments
that "the electrolyzed saline water lie
neither caustic nor irritating; it may be
applied to the mucous membrane as to
the skin; 1t instantly removes all bad
odors, stops all putrescent fermenta-
ton, kills microbes more effectually
and rapidly than any other antiseptic,
cleanses and heals fetid wounds and
sores, and hastens healing; it is an
ideal antiseptic. Consequently, it ap-
pears to me of the utmost Importance
to make it known, and to draw atten-
ton to all the applications that 1t may
be put to, both from domestic point
of view for deodorizing and cleaning,
and from medicinal point of view as
an antiseptic and healer par excel

THE NEW BOND ISSUE.

Evidently the national administra.
ton as broken with the bond syndi-
cate as reported in the dispatches, for
a public bond sale of 500, 900, 900 is an
nounced by the secretary Of the treas
ury, and bids asked. It came some
what in the nature OF a surprise to
both the Senate and House and to all
the subordinate officers Of the treasury
department. Since a bond issue, under
the present policy of administering our
financial affairs was inevitable, we are
pleased that the sale is to be a public
one. For though it may be that the
great bulk of the issue will fall into
the hands of the bond syndicate, the
people will have had an opportunity
to come to the relief of the govern
ment if their patriotism, prompted by
their interests, incline them that way.
One other thing is likely to be demon
strated by offering the bonds at pub
lie sale. It Is generally supposed that
there is great amount of gold in
the country. in the banks and in the
hands of the people, about $500, 900 OOO
among the latter. If there be any
very large amount Of gold boarded by
the people the absolete safety of in
vestment in United States bonds, the
length of time the bonds are to run.
and the rate of interest will most pro-
baby bring that gold out of its hid
ing place and there will be a large
amount Of the new bond issue taken
by the people. Nor will the fact that
the bonds will be coin" bonds and
not gold bonds deter the people from
purchasing them, for no one who has
faith in the government of the United
States can doubt that the financial
policy Of the government by the time
these thirty year bonds fall due will
be settled, ad that the bonds when
redeemed will be paid in the best
money Of the world. For If, as is our
hope, the government shall adopt BIZ
metallism. that is the free and I'M
limited coinage Of both silver and gold.
long before those bonds fall due sill
yer will be on parity with gold at the
legal ratio, and whether the bonds be
redeemed in silver or gold will be
matter of indifference to the holders
Our view Of the matter is that so
much gold as is generally claimed to
be in the hands Of the people is not
there. and the public sale Of the pro-
posed bond issue will help to demon
strate that it is not there. Nor is
there in the world the gold that is
needed to do the worlds business.
Our financial troubles arise from
the fact that the gold base on
which the world is trying to
transact its business is too small
to sustain the mighty volume Of
currency which the necessities of
trade and commerce enforce us to en-
ploy to do the worlds business. What
we want is a broader base of money
that shall be our own not borrowed
gold that only represents so many
millions Of issued bonds; and since
there is not gold enough for that base
even If we had our share of the
worlds gold, the sensible thing to do
would be to restore to it's place in our
monetary system that money metal
that was degraded from its high func-
ton by Republican party legislation
more than twenty-five years ago.

Some pretty hard things have been
said about gold-bugs by the friends of
free coinage of silver, but we have
never seen nor heard anything about
them that is not fully justified by the
statement that one of them in Wash
ington makes regarding the new pop
ular loan. Here are his words:
The syndicate will get the bonds. be-
cause speculation is a cold blooded
game. There is no sentiment in Wall
street. It is well enough to speak Of
patriotism and brotherly love among
the citizens of a, nation, but those SEN
timents do not spring from the hearts
of men who corner gold. Just as sure
as these bonds are sold, just that sure
will Wall street get them. A bank in
Stubenville, Ohio, the National Elk
change bank, teIegraphed today offer
ing to take $40, 900 of the bonds at $1.12
Other banks, am told. have sent SINH
lar messages to Mr.. Carlisle. A dozen
or more of them were received before
noon. But there were no messages
from New York. or from Philadelphia.
or from Boston. These cities harbor
the men who control the gold of this
country. They may not have it them
selves but they have a way of getting
it. When you have learned the intri-
cacies of finance you will learn that
the bankers and brokers of New York
with their affiliations and connections
reaching across the sea, can band
themselves together under the present
laws and manipulate the gold reserve
of this government as nicely as an en-
gineer manipulates the throttle.
Men with such sentiments would
not hesitate a single moment to sell
the government sand for powder and
put clay into bareback were we at
war with any nation.
1t is time that the clutch of such men
as these was loosed from the throat
of the government. Not only can they
but they do band themselves together
to manipulate the gold reserve of this
government. Yes, and they do it as
easily as the engineer manipulates the
throttle Of his locomotive. Is it to
continue forever? We are told that
the maintenance of the gold reserve is
the safety of the nations credit. The
maintenance of the gold reserve is the
danger of the nations credit for it
means that INSCRIPTIONS Spectators
can band themselves together for it's
manipulation.
Whenever the Secretary of the
Treasury realizes his power and fears
not to exert it, he can put a stop to
raids on the treasury gold and scatter
the bands of plotting spectators, who
will then hide their heads for very
shame. Let him do it.

THE EeuAL RIGHTS Clause.

Governor Wells, in his inaugural
speech on Monday, made special men
ton Of the clause of the constitution
which makes fellow citizens" term
that includes both men and women;
and congratulated the women Of Utah
upon the attainment of equal political
privileges with men. He expressed the
hope that the pure and ennobIing in
huences which woman imparts to the
hearths and homes of the people may
be felt in the exercise of their new
duties; and that their future use Of
the ballot may vindicate the wisdom
and enlightenment of the law makes.
that is. the constitution makers. So
say we all. For whatever views in
dividuals may entertain respecting the
political enfranchisement of women.
however unwise, unnecessary, and
menacing to the peace and therefore
to the best interests of domestic life
they may regard it, the political en-
franchisement Of women is now an
accomplished fact in Utah. Equal
political privileges are secured to the
women by constitutional provisions, and
there remains nothing to do now but
to put the experiment to the test; CIV
ing it every opportunity to attain sue
cess, and let it permanently stand or
quickly fall according as it shall prove
satisfactory to the people or other
wise.
General Grant once expressed him
al ~ ho 81
way to get rid Of bad law was to in
force 1t vigorously; for by its vigorous
enforcement its evils became apparent
and its repeal was made easy. We
would not intimate that the equal po-
litical rights clause of the constitu-
ton is a bad provision. but simply that
it is on trial. and we shall do what
we can to make that trial a fair one:
and give every encouragement to our
sister fellow citizens" to enter &C
lively into political life: and we are
willing to see them change what is
sometimes called the filthy pool of
politics into a beautiful lake, like crys-
tai in its clearness, and Astounding in
all that is healthy and pure. But we
caution our sister fellow citizens"
that politics in the state of Utah will
not be what politics was in the terrfl
tory OF Utah in the old days when
women possessed the franchise in the
territory. Conditions and methods
have changed. To exercise the fran
chise intelligently involves the con-
sideration of the principles and
policies Of government. including
all the economic questions so closely
allied to it. We do not doubt the in
tellectual ability of the women of
Utah to understand those subjects.
and we hope they will develop the in
clination to become familiar with
them; for upon their mastery of those
subjects and the maintenance of a
dtgnif1ed independence Of thought and
action in political affairs depends the
success of the experiment Of woman's
political acknowledgements in Utah.
