Salt Lake City, August i, 1891.' AGITATION IS EDUCATIONAL. Now the situation assumes a different aspect to what it has ever done heretofore. The two great national, political parties hi ve organized in Utah, and there is still an element calling itself "liberal" that is opposed to this condition of things; and after all the requisitions proposed have been complied with, this opposing power still continues its determined resistance to the very people upon whose rights and privileges it has been trampling. What magnanimity of character and of purpose they do display in this persistency. What, becomes thus misapplied. The people who are looking to the best interests of the country are anxious to see the official positions filled by honorable men whether Democrats or Republicans, and not by those who would wrest all the vested rights from the majority of the" original settlers and pioneers and7 tax them to build up such institutions as foster vice and immorality, and lead away the unwary, and the young and rising generation from the virtue into the sloughs of paths of rectitude-an-d evil and iniquity; as jsome have boasted would be their delight. Whatever the result may be of the coming election we feel sure ' agitation on political subjects and conditions must necessarily be educational, and as God rules still in the earth all will be well with those who put their trust in Him, though the powers of darkness combine, and Satan:. and his emissaries boast of their strength and skill; yet the Saints know how easy the Lord can turn and overturn, when his people hearken unto Him. When the walls of Jericho fell, how simple was the means the Lord used to 'accomplish his purpose. The people of this Territory are likely to be pretty well posted in the principles of the two great national political parties, judging from the agitation kept up during the last few weeks on Democracy and Republicanism in the various precincts; the best speakers on both sides have been proclaiming their views on the platform in the most interesting manner possible, and elucidating the subjects, pertaining to their respective parties, explaining all the doubtful "points, and giving every one a proper understanding of the platform he would subscribe" to if he voted on r r either side. These matters are essential to all concerned in the welfare of the government and all should be EDITORIAL N0TE9t, whether voters or not and if one comprehends one party and not the other it is not enough, both John and Isabella Beecher Hooker cordially inshould be of each and the principles parties invite their friends to call on them (without vestigated, otherwise a man (or woman) voting presents) at N0. 234 Pearl St., Hartford Conn., would be like the Judge jye hear,Q,fwj3ftv5vJbenhe frottf "3 W orelock Wednesday, August i;th, had heard one side of the case, decided it because the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage 1841 he argued, if he should hear the other side he mizht zet muddled...jOjchan&:eJuft4mnd but as ir Mrs. Minerva W.

In view of this it seems essential that women taking part or interested in the advancement and enfranchisement of women should' subscribe for and' read the Woman's Exponent, also those engaged in Relief Society work or the childrens' Primary Associations.
