The report OF the Minority Of the Pa
ciiic railroad committee. although as
saulting the subsidy system, has somes
thing of good in it. The proposition
that each road should stand upon its in.
dividual merits. is right. The frienes
of the Northern road have nothing 10
fear in such an event The declaration
that tie scheme involves the paying out
of $210, 900, 900 in the next thirty years
and that the security tor repayment is
insufficient, is simply absurd. The
transportation of supplies for troops
west of the Missouri, if at the rate paid
in 1865 and 1866. will amount in thirty
years to $40, ,OOO. 900 which the govern
ment reserves. The troops will be locat-
ed on the lines OF these roads, or. il the
troops are not required it will result
from the building of these roads Be-
sides, the government has 10 per cent.
of the gross earnings and first mortga-
yes on the entire roads for the full
amount of what it only guarantees in~
terest upon. These facts will be pressed
upon the attention of Congress. and We
cannot believe but that the signs are
hopeful for subsidizing of at least the

sENTATiON is TT3aANY."

The Cheyenne Argus forwards us q
marked article under the above caption.
The argument is, that the Territories,
paying 9 revenue to the Government,
are entitled in principle to representa-
tion in Congress by vote n we'll m we'll
as by voice. The Arg"s is Democratic,
and Wyoming belongs At present to the
unterrified, yet this does not effect the
question. tor although, were the Dele>
gates allowed q vote II would give Wyo-
ming, Idaho. Montana and New Mexico
Democratic votes. they would be bal
ancsd by the Republican votes from
Arizona, Colorado, Dakota and Wash
ington. while Mr.. Hooper, Of Ctah, would
represent the unclassiticd political es-
sence that exudes from Mormonism.
The Argus is in error in assuming that
it has originated an issue. The appeal
for practical representation by the Ter
ritories has been frequently made. and
the arguments offered in it's favor have
never been successfully met The ex-
clusion is a wrong, and exists, as many
other wrongs do. simply from the fact
that the injurer is powerful and the
injured helpless. Were representation
based ON the amount of revenue paid to
the General Govefnment there might be
a showing. but il is not. The Senatorial
representation is arbitrary, Delaware,
with its 1887 votes having as many
Senators A. New York, with it's s49, ,766

pOrtioned according to the number Of
voters. II. then, the qualified electors
are the only apportioning basis recog-

The senate has made a radical altera-
ton in the proposed Constitutional
amendment. In addition to the House
provisions, the Senate amends that there
shall be no discrimination among citi-
zens as 20 the right to vote or hold Office
on account of property, nativity, educa>
ton or creed The insertion of the word
education" will raise mighty ana
earnest host against the amendment,
who might otherwise have approved il.
While this nation believes in impartial
suffrage. vast and rapidly increasing
element believes in intelligepce-educa-
tion-as a basis. An intelligent use OF
the ballot ia essential to the welfare and
perpetuity ofa Republican Government.
To attain this. two means are proposed,
looking to the same ultimate result. but
reaching it by different approaches. The
one bv establishing an educational qua
iication, placing it at first az nominal
requirement, and by regular and easy
gradations raising the standard until
we shall have nation of intelligens
voters, inspired TO attainment by the
incentive Of a great privilege held out
as a prize. The other is by universal
suffrage and compulsory education.
This latter, although in operation in
some European countries, is pronounced
by eminent liberal statesmen inade-
quste, and is of an arbitrary, despotic
character, not in accordance with the
spirit of our institutions. Believing the
former the true and proper theory, and
that which experience and circumstan>
ces will Yet impel Americans to adopt,
We should regret to see the amendment;
60 before the country as it stands, in
volving in its defeat the defeat of the
great principle of impartial suffrage,
and in its adoption an eventual retro>
gression to the point we now hold. that
the United States may have an Impair
tial suffrage, in which alone will be re-
quired the qualifications-citizenship
