UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE The DISTRICT

liz Is evidently the purpose of Congress TO
extend the right of suffrage here 10 blacks. Ii
is also equally clear that the measure is vet
most rspuRnant 10 four-fiftns Of the current
voters and other whites OF the District. Never
theless, it is The will OF those who, by the Con-
stitution and laws, are the sole Judges in the
premises Nothing whatever is 70 be gained
by our fellow eitizens Immediately ,p.eres ted
IN induleing in further complaints because our
aw-nskers are determined 10 be guided nv
their own views OF the fitness Of thin ys rather
tnan by those OF the white population of The
District, for which they are legisIatiug
We sincerely believe that IN disposipr of
this yeXed question, Congress has gin it,
power to confer greater blessings upon the
whole country than has occurred at any other
time, IN any other way. or in connection with
any other project in winch the right of Cit
izenshiP anywhere has been involved in
Congressional legislation. Thus, il It b.
provided that no shall become en-
Titled 10 the right of suffrage here after. say
SIX months, who cannot read English or som.
living continental language. or who shall NOT
nave paid the current school tax Of 81, four or
ire months before tehderiRg has rote at anu
election, two great desidersta will be achieved
as starting points for legislation elsewhere
upon suffrage.
LEI. All who up TO this time have neglected
70 learn To read will forthwith enter upon ,h,,
task. No man. white or black Will hereafter
tail 10 see that his children be educated m
some measure. No other such stimulus to
universal education could possibly be devised
VIII not this be public blessing OF the first
magnitude
2d. By providing that the school tax be pad
some months in advance of the election. the
incentive to sinister demagogues to herd
liquor, and bride such voters require their
taxes TO be paid by those voting them will h.
wholly done away with. No political com.
mittee will risk their money in paying voters,
taxes four months in advance of an elact,o,
because knowing well that such voters are not
to be trusted TO comply with such promise,
four months old. Such a provision would he
death to the political influence of the groz
shop. and would also decrease the amount
OF bad liquor guzzled about election times

sIble way in which the political influence Of
The two worst classes in cities can be so neu.
traiized- That lie; of the class who corrupt the
baliot-box by buying votes to compass sinister
ends. and the class who sell their votes either
for the price of their taxes or for money CON-
alterations or for all the bad liquor they can
drink for a week or so before an election.
There can hardly be member Of the pres
ent Congress who Will fail to realize that il
they enact impartial suffrage here embracing
these stipulations, they will in q very brief
period have everywhere disarmed hostility To
