ARr WE TO HAVE AN EMPRE2-There is 4
much lond ior thought in the following aru- I
cle from the New York JoRfnal # Com-
merce:
"Folawng the agitation for universal
suffrage in this country comes naturally
from various sources the suggestion oI an
pmpire Tie two things, though seeming
wide apart, are really correlated. il would
he no paradox TO say that an empire Is as
leritimaiely as republic the product ot
universal suffrage. Look ut France There
is a country where tile suffrage is universal,
and there il IN empire in which the power
of one man is grenter and more absolute
than in any other European nation, save
only Russia. In this connection 1t is not
necessary 10 contrast the merits aud lauils
OF the Napole0nie government. Oal busl
ness is only TO show thai there IS an empire
in which tile right to vote Is III tact as freely

Instead ol ensunng tile Herpthlty oil the

republican forms, il may, IL unchecked, some

revolution in our system possible. unlNer
sal suffrage is the only thing thai docs mak'

The Emperor Napoleon was voted upon lh
