POLYGAMY AND WOMAN SUFFllAOK. Senator Edmunds , after mature reflec tion , and in the light of the experience of tee Utah commiss Ion has prepared a sup plementary bill for the nbolition of poly gamy. Among the provisionsofthisbill is a clause repealing the act granting the right of suffrage to the women of that territory. This has roused the wrath of women suf fragists who nooin to see in it a reaction ary movement that would act 03 a fatal precedent toward repealing the woman Bullragu laws in Wyoming and Washing ton territories. The woman suffrage party state executive committee in Now York has issued n manifesto instructing the sonatorH from Now York to oppose Mr. Edmunds' anti-polygamy bill. This only affords a striking proof that women nro practically unfit for the discharge of political duties. It is a notorious fact that polygamy in Utah has received itfl chief support through woman suQrago. The bishops nnd olilcra of the Mormon church oxcrt absolute control over their wives nnd daughters. They go to the polls with wagon-loads of their wives , their Bisters , their cousins and their aunts , and every ballot cast by the women simply records the will and wish of the Merman priesthood. The mormon woman outvote the gentile - tile women inoro than ton to ono , thus multiplying power which polygamy wiolda through the ballot box. Only a year ago last summer two of the woman suffrage agitators , Mrs. Young and Mrs. Wells , came all the way to Omaha to take part in the grand woman-suffrage domenatration. They were candid to ad mit to the editor of this paper that po lygamy was a religious institution which they believed to bo right. These women are fair representatives of those nf their sex who profosB belief in the mormon creed. To continue woman suffrage in Utah under such conditions would render in- offbctivo all efforts to abolish polygamy through the machinery oi legislative en actments. The woman suffragists in Now York are doubtless opposed to polygamy in every shape and form , but they do not want polygamy abolished if it will do away with their pot hobby of sexual equality. The right of suffrage is sup posed to bo exorcised by sovereigns who are free and untrammeled in expressing their will through the ballot box. The Mormon women of Utah are mere slaves , who have no inoro voice in the govern ment of that territory than so many dummies. To leave them in possession of the ballot would not only perpetuate polygamy , but would make all the laws against it n more farce. If the senators of Now York are stupid enough to oppose Mr. Edmunds' bill at the behest of im practical visionaries they are unfit to oc cupy seats in the United States sonatn. A VEUV interesting and suggestive case has just boon decided by the courts of Now York. In 1881 General Daniel E. Sickles , on his return from Europe , found a gas bill for the iivo months during which ho had boon absent abroad , al though during that time his house wai shut up and the motor disconnected from the gas-pipes. Ho refused to pay , and the company undertook to remove the motor , but was prevented by a temparary injunction granted by Judge Lawrence pending the trial of the case upon its merits. An appeal was taken to the gen eral term and the Lawrence decision was confirmed. The trial of the case has just taken place before Judge Van Vorst , who continues the injunction. The next utop will bo for the company to sue for the amount of its bill in the ordinary way. The publio know.i only too well how common it is for gas companies to settle disputed bills by summarily taking out motors , and the Van Vorst decision will bo a good precedent to refer to in future casoi by hundreds of people who ; ot their bills inflated by n process which only those initiated into thy mysteries of gasometers can understand. GOVKKNOK OLKYKiiAXii has evolved some ideas which ho communicates to the public through his annual message. Ono of those is the fact that "tho tend ency of our prosperity is in the direction of the accumulation of immense fortunes , largely invested in personal property , " and the tendency of our times is'to lot the real property boar all the burdens of tax ation , while the personal property goes untaxed - taxed , AHtholawanowstand in Now York , and in nearly every state in this union , the possessor of several million dollars' worth of personal property is authorized to deduct all hitt actual , constructive or fictitious indebtedness from its taxable value ; and what between this privilege and the possession nf non-taxable United States bonds , some of our very wealthiest men contrive to pay little or nothing to ward the income of state or local govern ment. On the other hand , the owner of a heavily mortgaged house or farm is taxed up to the full value sot upon his real estate by the assessor , and cannot deduct the indebtedness represented by the lion. IK discussing the propriety of branding deserters , THE BKK lias opened its col umns to officers and man in the regular army for the purpose of giving them an opportunity of relating their experience and exposing the abuses which are in a largo moaiuro responsible for the whole- Bale dosortioni from the ranks. Tho'dU- cussion has been carried on for several weeks by soldiers from every section of the country , and all grievances have boon thoroughly ventilated. There is no doubt that commanding oflleors , who do- airo to ameliorate the condition of the soldier , have learned inoro 'than they over know before concerning the habitual impositions practiced upon the private by subordinate officers. We do not doom it advisaVloto'givo this subject any fur ther space , and all future communica tions will bo placed on a level with home made poetry. They will bo consigned to the waste basket. COMPUTING WITH CONVICT I.AHOR. There has boon a great deal said and written against the importation of cheap laborers from foreign countries , particularly the Chinese , who work for almost nothing , Hvo on what white people plo would not touch , save all they can , and finally return to their own country. The Chinese Itavo bcon the objects of es pecial warfare for many years on the Pa- fie coast , and notwithstanding the oft- repeated cry , "tho Chinese must go , " they are still thoro. In the cast objec tions are being made and constantly urged of late against the importation of paupers and cheap laboron from the thickly populated countries of Europe. It is not likely that the immigration of poor people to this country from Europe will over bo restrained , as such restraint will bo inconsistent with the principals of freedom on which this republic is founded. This country will over remain the refuge of the down-trodden from the monarchies and empires of the old world. Chinese immigration , however , will probably bo hold in chock. While slavery has been abolished in this country , there is still another class of involuntary servitude which is equal to slave labor. Wo refer to convict labor. The Chinese question and the cheap labor problem are not any inoro worthy of consideration than this sub ject. People generally have but very little idea of the extent to which convict labor outers Into our manufacturing industries , thus materially affecting commercial af fairs and the labor market. Most of the convicts in our ponitcn- tiers are being worked at skilled labor under the contract system. They manu facture hats , boots and shoes , cigars , wagons , agricultural implements and ma chinery , toys , clothing , and many other articles , which find n ready market at prices far below that of the free factories. This naturally destroys the value of hon est labor , as no honest mechanic can compote with convicts under the present contract system. Nobody can successfully carry on manu facturing in competition with convict labor. The free laborers have to bo paid at living rates , while convict laborers are lot to contractors for a inoro song. The convict is fed , clothed and housed at the expense of the state , while the free la borer has to pay the living expenses of himself and family out of his earnings , and in most cases , after ho docs this , ho has little or nothing left. Admitting that the state should got the benefit of the proceeds of convict labor , no articles from the penitentiary factories should bo allowed to go into the market f ir a less price than that of articles manufactured by free labor. The labor of convicts gauges to a great extent the price paid for ether labor ; So long as convicts are allowed to engage in manufactures so long will competing manufacturers find i it difficult to profitably carry on their business. Several of the largest eastern hat factories have boon ruined by attempting to compote with the products of the convict factories. If this result has been accomplished in ono line of manufacturing by the contractors of con vict labor , it is fair to presume that it can bo done in almost any ether lino. The number of inmates of our peniten tiaries is constantly increasing , and the question naturally arises what shall wo do with thorn ? It is a serious question , and ono to bo most carefully considered. In Now York this matter is being taken up and discussed , nnd the agitation in that state , as well as elsewhere , may eventually result in a reform of the sys tem of contract-lotting of convict labor. In the Nebraska penitentiary there are probably about three hundred convicts , and in loss than five years there will very likely bo over five hundred. The state pays the contractor , William II. B. Stout , fifty cents n day for each convict , and gives him the labor of the convicts for nothing. In ether words , the state has three hundred convicts to lot , for whom it furnishes free lodgings , while the contractor draws fifty cents per man each day for food , and disposes of his labor us best suita his in terests. Three hundred slaves , whoso board and lodging are paid for , are put into active competition with as many free men , who have to pay for their own liv ing. Is it right for the state to force the working man into such competition ? This is ono of the social problems that must sooner or later bo solved. It is safe to estimate that there are more than 1)0,000 ) convicts in the penitentiaries of this country. In California at San Quentin - tin there are 1,500 convicts , who are really doing as much harm to degrade honest labor as the Chinese. But it is not the fault of the convicts. It is proper enough that they should bo made to work , either in penal or reformatory in stitutions , but it is essential and just that laws should bo enacted to prevent the soiling of convict labor in the labor market below the ruling prico. If contractors will not hire such labor at the ruling price for free labor , the stAte must devise means to employ the convicts , and sea to it that their products from penitentiaries shall not undersell the products from the American factories. As a matter of justice , the state should sot apart the surplus of the earnings of each convict , above the coat of his main tenance , for the benefit of himself and his family. That would encourage con victs to worV , and give thorn the moans , when they have served their term , to begin - gin life again with some show of earning an honest livelihood. TIIKHE is nothing like taring good backing. The bold stand taken by the Burlington in refusing to enter the now pool is explained by the fact that the Lincoln board of trade has passed reso lutions endorsing the independent action of that road. Cox and the bounding Bill Springer have como up smiling , nnd ac cepted the inferior places assigned to them by Speaker Carlisle. Mr. Cox will sot himself in motion to navigate the American navy yards under the pilotage of that old son of n sea-dog , John Roach , nnd Bill Springer has taken the contract to straighten out all the kinks nnd crooks in the department of justice. PRESIDENT AHTIIUH'S special message to congress urging an appropriation for the protection of the lower Mississippi valley against disastrous inundation will doubtless receive prompt attention , This is the proper season for pushing river improvements end rebuilding levees below low Memphis nnd the southern people will appreciate the president's ' efforts in their behalf.

Congressman Weaver has placed him self on record as follows , in the "Irish 'World , " on the execution of O'Donnoll. Circulars were sent by Patrick Ford , the editor of that iiroy sheet , to all members of congress , requesting their opinion : Houhi : or RFI-UKSKNTATIVIM. \ WASHINGTON , D. 0. ) Mr. PATRICK FOUD : * * * I have carefully read the proceedings in the case of the queen against Patrick O'Donnoll , nnd from the inquiry addressed to the court by the jury , nm of the opinion that had the court properly answered the jury by giving a clear statement of the law under the hypothesis assumed by the question and not have trenched upon the domain of the jury by the suggestion that no such state of facts existed , the verdict in no event would boon guilty. This is a clear case of judicial murder nnd a disgrace to Eng lish jurisprudence. The irregular manner of impaneling the jury , the concealment of their identity , the regularity and knowledge of which facts are the most potent factors relied upon in this country to obtain justice , certainly tend but to the ono proposition namely , that but ono side of the case was to bo fully heard , and that the side of the government. If this bo what the jury trial means in England it were bettor abolished , as affording no aid in the administration of justice. Assuming that Patrick O'Donnell was an American citizen , a gross insult has boon offered to this government , which will probably bo taken into consideration when our government shall bo awakened to a sense of the duty towards American citizens. A. J. WEAVER. Conservative Socialism. Chicago Tribune. It is singular but it is true that the "rights of property" and the "vested" immunities of corporations are much more strictly limited and the right of the public to share in their control and oven their profits are more clearly defined and realized in the monarchical and aristocra tic countries of Europe than in free end democratic America. This is true not only of the great railroad companies which in this country enjoy something like the license of Irigandago , but of a great variety of enterprises , like street- railways , gas companies , electric-light companies , nnd telephone companies , and others which purvey io the needs of the community. The Gorman emperor claims that ho holds n position of nearly absolute power , and that the legislature is merely nn advisory nnd ratifying body. What most Americans would expect to see as the re sult of the exercise of such powers by a King would bo the strongest kind of alliance between the supreme authority and countless rings of speculators for the accomplishment of schemes of consolida tion , stock-watering , pooling , increase of charges , nnd obtaining of special privi leges and immunities that would throw fur into the shade the united efforts of our Huutingtons and Jay Goulds and their legislatures. But it is the opposite of nil this that has occurred. To uay nothing of the complete sub jection of the German railroads to the stnto , which is too well understood to need inoro than n reference , other cor porations whoso functions are of publio importance are kept under a discipline which in this homo of the free and tlio bravo would bo stigmatized ns socialism of the most virulent typo , nnd would bo directly attributed by tlio capitalists in terested in them to the "domagogery" ( as Huntington said of Thurnmn when the latter passed a law for compelling Uuntington's corporations to pay n part of their debts to the government ) of ad venturers who were willing to bid anything for popularity with tlio mosses. When an elocric-light company , or n steam-heating concern , or a gas company , or a ( Chicago & Evanston ) railroad wants to onti r a city it toa's such a charter ns it wants from the common council and the major , nnd then proceeds to tear up the streets at its will , with not the slightest regard to the scant provisions winch it graciously assumed to consent to for the protection of the community. It is not so in most European countries. The gat companies of London , for in stance , are under parliamentary regula tions 01 to every privilege they have , and as to their charges , and even their dividends. When the Edison Electric Light company was recently admitted into Berlin , it was under restrictions for the protection of the rights of the people that , with all our boasted apparatus for the protection of the Hfo , liberty and the pursuit oi happineia of our citizens , it would love been impoEsiblo for us in the present slate of affairs to exact. Besides guarding all the private rights of person nnd property that are so ruth lessly o\orriddon by our corporations , the Gorman Government limited the charges nnd the profits of the Edison company , provided for n libeinl contribu tion out of its receipts to the publio treas ury , and stipulated that at the end of thirty yews iU plant uhould become the property of the municipality. The recent request from the London metropolitan board of works to the English .board of trade to withhold its approval from the proposed consolidation of two gas com panies is nn instance of the same kind of conservative socialism on British soil. Tlio London Gaslight nnd Coke com pany wnntcd to swallow up the South Metropolitan Gas company. But before if could do so it had to nsk the permission of the municipality. The consolidation will increase the profit of the condensed concern , and the board claim , quite so- rialistically , that part of this must go into the pockets of the public. The prices charged by the company to bo ab sorbed were by its charter regulated by parliament , and the London board de clares that its tariffs "embody the latest expression of the views of parliament" on this subject. _ This is n very shocking phrase. The idea that parliament should have any "viows" ns to the price to bo charged by n gas company is very heterodox from tlio standpoint of the orthodox political economists and mo nopolists who hold that "tho laws of trado" must have their own way in the field of price , no matter what laws the consuming people might like to put in force to protect themselves. It docs not seem n strained conclusion from facts like these that wo have still something to learn with regard to the regulation of corporations , and vthat the supervision which can bo exorcised in behalf - half of a people by aristocratic nnd mon archical rulers ought to bo within the power of the government of the people by the people.
