expectations we will add in gold coin to the subscription list A convention of the young mens christian association I 1 was held a few feir days since at san francisco california A resolution was offered to admit young women to membership in the association this whis was discussed at some length one clergyman opposed the resolution he did not approve of mixing the sexes in such associations his experience was against the plan they had so many pleasant things to say to one another that real work was neglected and the meetings became social gatherings these remarks awakened a good many one thought tho the ladies the very life of christian associations another thought that to ta admit the ladies ladles would be the ruin of the association one ono gallant member from the country said mid that what singing is to the sunday school service so is the company of young ladies to young gentlemen in church fellowship but there was only one lady present to appreciate the sweet sentiment he was replied to with the remark that it might be very proper to admit women to membership in small villages but they were not desirable in san francisco Frati tisco this settled the admission of ladies they were not to be permitted to mix in the association with the young men A resolution to approve of lay preaching brought out the tho remark that there was more talent among the young laymen of the city than there was in all the pulpits ul its in the state A very truo true remark remark doubtless 0 aes ues s but not very flattering natt ening ering or enc ene encouraging our a ga I 1 ng to congregations in view the ne next X t s speakers ea ers ens remarks who said that ho he could coul not see that there was such a great agrest difference between the maii man who preaches as a minister consecrated by the laying on of hands of other preachers and the christian who preaches for the lovo love of gods cause we are precisely of the latter speakers view and as there is no perceptible difference between tho the priest and the layman lawman and talent is the great desideratum and not authority from god why not fako fake the talented laymen and put them in the pulpits in the stead of their theli present stupid occupants the advance in an article articie on president Q grant rant headed praise blame and cau K aon gon 11 after praising him for what he has done says but it cannot be denied that his administration does not open with entire satisfaction and that good intentions have to some extent been accompanied by weak deeds it finds fault with president grants be of the tile highest office in his hig gift as a mere compliment upon lir mr washburne with wilh the understanding that he should accept I 1 it only to resign it also thinks it a sad error to send to Mont anaas governor a man with such a published record as mr nir ashley throughout the article the statement is several times repeated that president grant should have the earnest prayers of all good men and that the writer and others like him should uphold him with their prayers the advance feels that he needs divine guidance and the article winds up with the pious exhortation men of prayer remember your president the san fr franeisco francisco times in a recent article articie upon the trade of utah y thinks that itis to be regretted that circumstances have placed the citizens of san francisco at great disadvantage in competing with chicago for our trade while they nii nil might lit have manifested more enterprise in tes this matter than they have done yet their hands have been in a measure tied owing to the want of definite arrangements for laying down freight at this city but now the central pacific railroad should make their calculations and announce them without further delay dclay abt it is almost as much to their interest as to the interest of the traders that freight should bo be so low as to encourage traffic it thinks more than ordinary concessions should be made in view 0 of the fact that ch chicago 1 g 0 has already secured a hold upon the utah trade the graphical geographical eo position of our territory renders 5 ers friendly relations it says with california Calif brna a matter of state tolley poy and d in this illis it imagine imagines i will be found their most powerful powerful lever for securing our business rafner Rafter it afterwards wards urges a point that we think much more of a lever than state policy it bids the merchants of san francisco remember that nothing can be done in the way of business with utah until they i arrange their price prica lists on a currency basis liere the times strikes a keynote it says K we are of opinion however that much apathy has been shown by our people in this tins connection finding that t hey they could not complete their arrangements until the railroad was opened fully they have taken tak en no trouble in the premises and have lain supine and idle when at least they might have been informing themselves as to the nature of the trade they covet and the best means to be taken for securing it the salt lake traders are keen business men and they have noticed and remarked upon the indolence on the part of san francisco when agents of our firms call upon them 1 and offer goods at gold prices which chicago is selling at the same rates in currency it does not speak very highly for the acuteness of the merchants who make such propositions positions ions lons and it certainly shows that thoy they rave eave have havo taken a very little trouble to inform themselves lem iem selves as to the tho state of the trade there is little doubt that we can command the utah trade for fox heavy imported goods woolens california wines fruits and several other classes of goods in most of the home manufactured articles however chicago will maintain the ascendancy and in a large number of articles the question of freight must settle the business the utah merchant is perfectly willing to pay lo io 10 for a california article which chicago offers him for 7 if california can deliver it to tu him at 12 while the freight from chicago raises its cost to 14 here hero is where the central pacific railroad must step stem inand help us there is no reason why the enhanced prices of san francisco goods should bar them out of the market so long iong longas as the company puts its freight charges at such rates as will enable our merchants to deliver cheaper than chicago nan can man do perseverance promptitude tact and however very feces necessary ary aids to the the tho enterprise upon which the business men of san francisco are about to enter above all let them acquaint themselves thoroughly with the price lists of chicago and then having arranged their own upon as moderate a basis as their necessities will permit of with the aid of the central pacific railroad company they will be likely to do well in their relations with Utah 11 0 A N clergyman by the tue name of davidson a reverend so called has
