But his prescription for curing one's self Of the
habit is a good stiff glass Of whisky and water

Interesting "reminiscences.

According to the Houesdale Republican.
FREEDOM was the only condition of the bal
lor in Pennsylvania for a century and half.
That paper etches the history of suffrage in
this State so clearly and succinctly, that We
extract its epitome in full, as follows:
In 1852 " illiam Penn promulgated THE
Frame of Government of Pennsylvania,
under authority of the charter granted him
by King Charles ii. In this document the
right of suffrage is given, without restriction,
to the frernen of said province.
In l70l Penn granted what is known as
the Charter of Privileges" By this in
Strument the right of suffrage was broadly
given TO THE ytretmea Of each respective
county,
The first constitution of Pennsylvania was
adopted in l7E6. The convention that fram
ed this instrument was presided over by
Benjamin Franklin. 1t gave the right of
suffrage to every freeman of the full age
of 2l years. The men of the Revolution,
while asserting their own rights and liber
ties against prescription. were careful to
stand fast bI the cardinal idea of the poiti
cal equality of all men.
In 1890 new constitution was framed
| Thomas Miffin presided over the convention
| that made it. This instrument gave the
right to vote 70 ''erery freeman over the age
of 81 yeas.
IN 1899 the constitution was revised. John
Sergeant presided over the convention. The
basis of suffrage was changed, so a. to in
clude only every lctite freeman Of the age
of 81 years
For one hundred and ffty-six years black
men, if black they were, voted in Pennsyl
vania on precisely the same conditions as
white men. None of the evils now predict
ed of black suffrage were experienced
Neither the mental nor social equality of
the two races was thereby established. Anal
gamation, either through matrimony or
without, was encouraged. Not black man
was made Governor or Legislator Social
order was not subverted. The Government
was not made bv white men for white men,
but by all men for the benefit of all.
