by the republicans of chicago 0 were welcomed and ac knowledg edby uie the democrats atan cinnoti cin nati the difre ditre difference rence made wade a great impression on the ladies and the friends of their cause and as its we stated at the tile time is likely to gain a great deal of feminine support for hancock and english in id the presidential campaign we learn from the new yew york merald herald that mrs lillie devereaux make blake mrs sirs helen sio slocum um miss susan king g miss helen potter mrs charlotte smith and miss harriet dolson all prominent advocates of bf I 1 woman S suffrage visited general hancock on the dinst th they ey were at once admitted to the generals office and courteously welcomed during the informal co conversation which ensued they gathered from his remarks that lie he was in sympathy with their cause and that were ha he elected chief executive he would not veto any act of legislation which would benefit them one of the party was a little girl of thirteen and turning to her the general said 1 I hope you may live to be a voter this expression and the assurance su rance that he coni considers ders women people were the si significant points of the interview t this little incident will have no insignificant bearing on the canvass the influence of th the tho e woman suffrage supporters will wili count for something and when it is known that gen hancock looks f avor avon ably upon that movement it will gain hi him m quite a number of popular votes the woman question will force itself upon public attention and upon the tile notice of the thoi lawmaking law making power until justice is done to that portion of the citizens of the united states which has been so long debarred barred de from the rights and privileges that equitably belong to them SABBATH BREAKING EASTERN papers are discussing the sunday question some with witha a view to the enforcement of the stringent laws that are still on the statute books in many of tho the states and others for the purpose of efm eff effecting acting their abolishment the new york herald says the law of that is broken every sunda sunday by thousands upon thousands who swarm unon upon upon excursion boats and go upon pleasure trips by other means of conveyance no person can lawfully travel in that state on sunday unless s in cases of necessity or charity people are allowed however to go to church within a distance of twenty miles the penalty upon all transgressors gres sors over fourteen years of a age 11 r e is a fine of one dollar for each of fence the law is practically a dead letter but it is still in force if any one c chooses to make complaint proof of this is found in the recent ruling of the court of appeals in the case of a suit sult against the proprietors of the steamboat West ridd fidd A passenger who was injured bythe by the explosion on that vessel sued for damages the defendants pleaded that lie he was traveling fa ody recreation and not of necessity the court while holding the defendants were not exempt from liability for negligence because of sabbath breaking by the plaintiff still decided that he was clearly violating the sunday law of the state in massachusetts a somewhat different view of the matter is taken by the courts there they hold that persons who violate the law by traveling for pleasure on the tiie sabbath day cannot recover damages for injuries received through the negligence of others we have sunday laws in theater this territory and in this city which ure violated as regularly as the day comes round not to anything like the same extent AS in most cities in the united states but still enough to bring many persons within the power of the law which forbids forbid sany sans any unnecessary labor the sale of intoxicating drinks etc on sunday the ordinance of this city makes it a punishable of flence to go fishing hunting or on any kind of sporting or to keep open or carry on any kind of business or public amusement oil oll on sunday we ive do not mention this for the purpose of advocating any stringent puritanical measures to prevent the proper poper freedom of the public neither have we ife iee vee any for that pharisaical spirit which would establish unnatural restraints stra ints and attempt to strangle cheerfulness sg and choke to death 4 smile on the sabbath day boutwe nut but we view with regret legret the tendency which is growing among some of the tho latte rd saints to disregard the law jaw of god and of man in relation th the day of rest and worship fp when the persecuted ted and driven saints first found foun m don dan th the e spot where now stands this city with its tabernacles and holy places the counsel of president Brigha brigham ii young was that they should not ld laa bar boron on the Sabbath bp t rest and go to meeting this was in Accor accordance with tl the revelations of god jn n indent and modern times the sabbath formerly kept on thes thos ev anth day but since the resurrection of the savior on tile the first day of the week is designed not only fori for rest from toil toll lit but for fbi the public worship and service of its author it is not designed for a day of romping earo caro carmusin carousing 9 and geneval general jollification it is not that kind of a holiday there are sometime sometimes a instances when labor or travel is absolutely necessary on sunday bunday in ili this dry country where the water I 1 is parcelled par pan celled out with rigid economy it may maybe be necessary to irrigate a farm or a garden on sunday because in the distribution of the stream it falls to the lot of some person on that day we do not think the law sacred or becu secular jan jar forbids such a work of necessity ces sity nor requires a man to let his cro ero crops p s toj tol burn bunn um epand perish i rather tiia tila than u to give them theia the means of ilfe life me on ort the sabbath whether irrigation can be so regulated as to g give ive lve i every one his portion of water on some week day or not ilot we will leave to tim them water masters who are responsible e for foi the infraction of the law if it is necessary unnecessary to irrigate on bund sund sundays lly liy ity S we ask the latter day saints wl who 10 make it a point to go on excursion parties and organize trips for hunting and ashing fishing on the sabbath if they are satisfied with themselves thein thern selves and consider themselves justified in disregarding this word of the lord and the inhabitants of zion shall also remember the sabbath day to keep it holy
