!nteiIioence the Basis of Suffrage.

The New FORK .Sas is out in favor OF /
uniform suffrage upon an educationsl
basis. without regard 10 color, condition
or race We quote from this well writ
article:
AT times in the history of our conn
try parties have been inclined to dis
qualify poor men from voting. and TO
make suffrage dependent upon property
qualification. as it is IN monarchicai coun-
tries. Other phases of the Suffrage
question have, from time to time. risen o
the political surface. and even now al
most before the smoke of the rebellion
las cleared away. we see it rising up in
still another form-that of negro enfran-
chisemcnt Now it req uires hut little per
spictlity to see that the tendency Of suf-
rage agitation is dangerous, and prudence
demands that tue dar ger should he re-
moved before it becomes too formidable.
So long as there is no fixed constitutional
qualification for suffrage. and while the
franchise laws of the various States are
so widely different, SO long will the ques
ton he a subject of political agitation,
and no one can tell to what extent it may
be carried Therefore, justice and pub
lie policy demand constitutional amend
ment that shall be a finality upon this
question, and that shall take it out of the
hands of parties. We want no more
outbursts Of Know Nothing higotry and
/ prescription against onr citizens OF
foreign birth we want no ostracism of
men because they happen to be poor.
and it IS not sound political wisdom to
persecute a class whose SKIN does not
happen TO be of the orth odox color.
Neither bigotry, prejudice nor aristocracy
should he permitted TO grow up under a
democratic form of government We
want an enlightened electoral qualitca-
tion-one that shall be consistent with
the principles Of free government, and
which shall not dehar from its exercise
any man who is competent TO make an
intelligent use OF its privileges. 1t is
plain that the true and only qualification
consistent with p free and enlightened
government, is that which makes educa
tion. and nothing else, the requisite stand
ard. Ii is net democratic to exclude {
man from the polls because he happened
to be born in ireland or Germany mol
because he happen ed to be poor nor be
cause he is not of the orthodox color
but it is democrtic to require man to un
derstand -rad appreciate what he is doing
in the act OF suffrage, in order that Ia
NAV not be made the victim of politica
sharpers. As matter of justice, there
fore. an amendment to the Constitution
should be inadc, providing for an educa
tionai qualification as preliminary Il
exercising the right of suffrage; and as
matseref puoEic security, the rapidly in
creasing agitation of the question in it
present form, is an aamonition to TAX
the proposed step as speedily as posi-
