DEaATE OF THE SUFFRAGE AMEND.
MENT

The scuate'rcmained in session through
tic whole Of Monday tight, and until
nearly noon on Tuesday, endeavorlne to
finish the debate on the suffrage amend
mcnt 10 the constitution. The ext.aor-
dinary Development Was made during
the discussion that Senators Sumner end
Edmunds were opposed to the measure,
on the ground that the Fourteenth
Amendment, which was ratified last
year, establishes universal suffrage.
This Will be q surprise to the people OF
l'hnois, who hare thus far denied to the
handful OF colored men In their midst the
right OF voting. Perhaps Mr. Sumner and
Mr. Eimunds mean to express the
opinion that the Fourteenth Amendment
authorizes and enables Congress to es.
tablish universal suffrage by law. We
think that it does not. There never has
been time when Mr.. Sumner could
BRING 3 msjotity Of the Senate tc
his way Of thinking on this question
Conctd1ng, however, that he is right and
that the others are wrong, how eau be
oppose a measure which, II adopted, will
accomplish the same result in more
satisfactory ways We should not like
10 stand in The shoes Of any Senator whe
allows his own pride of opinion to bloch
up the way to SO important reform.
Mr. Drake, Of Missouri, another i'm
p1ac lcable genius, wanted 10 amend tht
ameUcment SO as to enable negroes Il
hold tflice as well ss vote. There i
nothing in the constitution which pre-
vents Them from holding office now. o.
sEe cor1r.ly, It is perfectly certain tha
If q majority Of votes are cast FOR col
ored E-an, Tor any Office under the Cni,et
at9s, he must be allowed to exercis
and erjoy it. And If elected TO Stat
ot1ice, hc cannot be prevented from hold
ing it by vlrlue Of any provision in tt
National Constitution. We say that Hi
DEake's auendnent is imprscyicable BE-
unwisc, tecsuse it adopted 1t will fAi
to be ratified by the rcquisit,
urmtcr Of States, and thus The good
which might otherwise be accomplished
will be weighed down and lest. Son
war al q time" Mr. Senator. The Stat
ot Illinois, We believe, is prepared 10 rati
fy An amendment establishing universe
srfIrage. Il is not ready to ratitY on
establishing universal of0ce-holdint
The time will come when Illinois will q,
cept both, but 1t has not yet come. 7
adopt Mr.. brakes amendment would |
literally killing two birds with ono stone
that is, it would kill itself and destroy Il
suffrage clause by the same blow.
