THE New York Times says: "Mr. SWANS
motion in the Massachusetts Senate to strike
out the education qualification of voters may
be a very smart tribute to RadicalSm, but
it does not reflect much credit upon the
educational condition of the State. The
pretext is that she will lose portion of her
representation in Congress, under the pro-
posed new amendment, if those who are I'M
able to read and write continue to be ex-
cluded from the ballot. 1t is very ques-
tionabe, however whether this loss would
occur, but if there were a very slight loss
would it be worth while to lower the standard
of constituencies and to do away with one Of
the indictments offered to people to become
educated. At least Massachusetts is not the
State to whom VIC should have looked for
such a measure

Spectators as well as regular dealers

supplemental reconstruction bill, will be
found upon the first page Of to-day's RE-

more cogent and convincing to candid minds
than II is, It would have made no impression
upon the present Congress, and 1t surprised
nobody to see the measure passed in hot
haste by two-thirds vote.

ARAT STORY.
a Ei.gis Giri Charmed and Kitten by
an Enormous Rat.


From the Rochester Union
A little girl, three years Of age, on Sun
day week, was sleeping in her crib bed in
the bedroom of her mother, the husband
and father being absent attending 10 bis
business, which is Of public nature and
which keeps him mp nights. A door open
ing into the sitting or dining-room Of the
house was ajar and in the sittiDg-room the
upper sash Of the window had been lowered
as was the custom. In,the middle of the
night the little girl cried ont "Na, MAJ
kitty is biting me- The mother went to
the crib, and on examining her found that
the large toe on one Of her feet had been
bitten, and thai Just above the ankle there
we're two more wounds from which the
blood flowed freely. She was quite alarmed,
knowing that there was no ~ about the
house. and she was quite posplexed 10 find
out what had bitten her eif6 Stopping
the bleeding, she was about placing her in
her own bed, when she asked to be allowed
% remain in her crib, where she could play
with kitty" The father on coming home
in the morning, was informed of what had
transpired in the night by his wife, and he
examined the wounds on the legs of his
daughter and at once said he thought them
10 have been produced by a rat
During the day neighboring woman
said she hsd observed on more than one
occasion a large rat climbing to the outside
Of the window sill The following night the
door between the bedroom and sitting
room wss closed. When all had become
quiet, a rat was heard gnawing at the
threshold Of the door. The husband was
informed of the matter in the morning, and
determined, if possible, to catch the rat.
This he did in two or three mornings after
wards-seeing the rat enter the room by
means Of the window, which was lowered
from the top. Hosting the sash, he let HIM
self into the house by the door, and with a
club, dispatched 80. lie threw 10 into the
yard where his wife could see a. when she
arose Shortly after the usual time for
arising. the little girl came into the house
with the dead rat rolled mp in her apron,
and complained bitterly to her mother be-
cause Papa had killed her kitty" All day
she mourned over the loss Of her pet, and
from what can be gathered from her, there
is no doubt that she had been in the habit
Of playing with it in the day time and it
sharing hes bed with her nights until its
biting her brought about its death
