the leader, or his colleague, in the Wom
ans' Suffrage delate, last Monday evening,
to toll the patrons of your paper, through
its columns, how he can reconcile Senator
Kdinunds' assertion, "Whenever the wom
en of the United States, or any state, desire
the franchise, they will have his aid in at
taining that object. "in thu light of his bill
depriving the few gontllo women of Utah
that right, who havo been convicted of no
crime, and who nitut certainly desire to
vote, or there would be no necessity to leg
islate that thoy should not? In other
words, how a, majority, asking to do a cur
tain aot, can ad'oot the riahtcousuoM of
that act? and how a Kepublic can be por-
I potuatcd upon any other policy than jus
tice to all its subjects?

found themselves again. T)iey star

there had been several snow elides,
and were loath to venturo back.
