It seems a very common thing with people o&aqu&inted with the facts to Bay, it Is the ig norance of "Mormon" women "that keeps them In bondage," that "makes them submit to plural marriage;" when in truth the very contrary is the case. It la because cf the intelligence they possets on subj ects connected with their existence here and hereafter, as well as that of their posterity and kindred, the hopes entertained) and the actual knowledge concerning the future that causes them to embrace a doctrine so unpopular and so objectionable in the eyes of the world. Such paragraphs as the following una similar ones abound in the newspapers and journals of the day: "It was hoped by giving Jhe women of Utah the ballot thejrwoultfuselt for the destruction of the monster, which keeps them under its iron heel, in hopeless misery," These people may be well meaning, but they talk nonsense and tolly in the extreme. Who are the "Mormon" women, who accepted plural marriage when the principle was first revealed to the Prophet Joseph, and taught to a few of of the people called Latter-da- y Saints? They were Just such sound, practical, intelligent women as the -- fore mothers of New England and the women pioneers of those Eastern States. Women prepared to encounter hardship! and privation, perils by land and tea for the sake of the religion in whfch they devoutly and implicitly believed. Aye, more ! Determined not only to make the sacrifices Incident to air these sufferings, but still further to prove their integrity to God by denying themselves that others might be benefitted and exaltod. Is not this an actual demonstration of that golden rule the Savior gave to hia followers: "Do unto others as ye would they should do unto you." These noble women are like other good, pure, virtuous women, Industrially, morally and Religiously they are far above them in the graces which elevate and adorn human Character. It is no wonder that contem- - -- d women many are plating these led to exclaim, "it ii not possible that you are like us, for if you were you could not live in auch relationships." To esteem others equally with yourtelf la necessary; to" consider the rights and privileges of those with whom you are as- - toclated as is requisite in one great family. The women who entered hihv these sacred covenants of marriage for time and all eternity accepted this holy order as a divine revelation and commandment, and in H jmcerety,-with-- d iDopuiest:mouves-ODeyethe game. To be sure there has another generation grown up aince the establishment cf the principle of marriage, but has America any reason to -- be ashamed of these youDg people? their traits ye shall know them, eaid the "By Savior." noble-minde- ce-lest- " ial . t t ul - . testimony cf reporters, tourists and sensational writers, nor yet of political demagogues, whose sole aim is to make capital by the votes of the Territory, and turn everything into the hands of tfiefr own party.

If anyone supposes these tame women citizens to be ignorant of the rights the ballot gives them, then they know yery little about the women of this Territory, and our advice to them is, let the matter rest until you have an opportunity of solving7 the problem by thorough investigation, and not from one side, and remember the words of the Savior, "Judge not, lest ye be Judged-- " - HOME AFFAIRS. 7 "A Venerable Woman" la again omitted for want of time to prepare thecopy, but we have some interesting items for the next issue.
