Show Sincje the blessed women are not to vote upon the adoption of the constitution consti-tution the Herald's nerve and judgment judg-ment both are at tault. This is Ehown conclusively by an ill-natured article in its Issue of Wednesday, Of couree we are profoundly overcome when we recall all the good things said of us by the Herald, but still this does not wipe out the memory of its desertion from tbe good old democratic position of anti female suffrage as well as all other forma of anti-sumptuary laws. Sick or well, we cannot tolerate that democracy which is not democracy and which smacks so strongly of the republican-populism of Kansas. If female fe-male suffrage is democracy in Utah. God pity democracy. When one finds this sort of staff on the tongues of democratic leaders here month after month, one naturally becomes s'ck. Can't help it. It is more a misfortune than a fault. Thr Herald, in its article of "Common "Com-mon Sense and Silver," on Wednesday, Wednes-day, ramblen through a column of diluted silver arguments which would be laughable, only one feels like weeping weep-ing when a leading self-called democratic demo-cratic paper in the mountains can say no more for the metal which has caused the wilderness to bloom and blossom as the rose. But for the fact that silver was discovered thirty or more years since in these mountains, we doubt if now tbe lines of western virilization had not been drawn within one hundred miles of the east line of Kansas. Yet there are democrats of the mountains, only a few of them, however, who can oniy see in the etruggie now being WBged, a bit of a row be. ween "brains and numbers.'' li we ever have silver again as money, we must do better than this. We really raust. SknatoE Morgan ib probably nearly t ight in his conclusion that England only wants to stay or interrupt the constructicn.of the Nicaraguan ship Canal. Ae the matter now stands Eogland ia debarred from any interest in, or control of that great work, tbe mightiest in undertaking as well as results re-sults to follow, ever yet conceived by man. Anyhow she must hands off for the term and this government dareB not permit her to retrain on Nic-araguan Nic-araguan soil a month, or If she does, she will forever abandon her great conservative doctrine first enunciated by Monroe. Lbt tbe New Star recall the fact that Senator Vorheas and Speaker Crisp are democrats, and that too may be said of nine out of every ten men of note who are new announcing for fiee coinage. If ever we again enjoy the boon it will be because of democratic votes of tbe recruits gathered alone from the grand old party of hard money, gold and silver, sil-ver, the only honest money on earth. This great truth will go far towards atoning for the almost inconceivable injury done by Grover Cleveland's bull-headed' devotion to the gold bugB. Thi New Star is of the opinion that since women cannot Vote upon the adoption of the constitution, it will be beaten and the Star eoes farther, and charges that this result is brought about by conspiracy among the enemies ene-mies of statehood. We can say that the constitution stands a better chance without the women than with them Not one halt of the ladies would have voted for its adoption. We fear the conspiracy is left handed in this matter, mat-ter, if there is one. Ous sprightly eotempirary, the New Star, wonders greatly at the harmony existing between the Herald and tbe Woman's Exponent. The Herald should be able to harmonize somewhere some-where and this is the first instance of it we have heard of. We really feel relieved to Know that it is in sentiment agreed with something, even if that something wears petticoats. Russia, really had better rot kick up a row over the Japan-Chinese treaty of peace. In such case Uncle Sam will take a hand and the Russian Bear will find the situation unbearable, Wa think the New Star is just a little too devilishly severe upon the convention. The delegates meant well if they did miss it in the working out. |
