Ignorance of Voters.

rhe Sioux City Journal takes the
ground that the perils to our republic
can institutions comes directly and
indirectly from the uncducated and
unrcasoning portion of the voting
population. There is q vast deal OF
truth in this statement. The ignO-
rance among voters, and the evils re-
sulting therefrom stand as disgrace
upon the record of our past history.
We boast Of our public school privil-
eyes In the face Of the apparent fact
that two thirds OF the voters do not
educate themselves sufficiently to ex.
rrcise the right Of suffrage intelli.

uent depends upon the intelligence
of the governed. Let every man
study the politics Of our country as
lis privilege and duty demands, and
candidates for Office would he chosen

American Politics.

draws this comparison between
American and English politics:

Political.

Political.
General Logan Is the coming
man for next Senator from Illinois.
The leading papers Of the coun-
try strongly endorse the Presidents
message. The New York Tribune
thinks that the prominent features
of Grants administration had already
commanded the popular approval,
but this message will still more en-
dear the President to the hearts of
his countrymen.
An enthusiastic young politician,
while working at the polls, an Ford
hatn, N. Y, on election day, sud-
denly remembered that he was to be
married on that day. He forthwith
procured his affianced, went to the
clergyman house and had the knot
tied, and then returned to- Che polls,
where he worked till they closed.
Gen. Schenck has at last author
lied the Republican Committee of
his district to use his name i'm issu-
ing notices of contest to Colonel
Campbell Of his election to Congress,
making the basis of contest the re-
lection of the votes of the inmates Of
the Soldiers Asylum at Dayton.
@n-------~--
THE Dubuque Herald seesr othing
to approve of i'm the Presidents
message. AS usual, its verdict was
made up before the message was
printed, and without reading it
We haven't the file of year ago,
but probably the same editorial was
reprinted without change. TO call
Grant demagogue is equivalent to
writing down the Herald editor an ass
70 be good Republican and an hon
est man, are two things, we know,
objectionable in the HerdId's eyes,
but its readers's would admire the
paper more, if it would use more
common sense and less wholesale
and disgraceful abuse in its editor
ials.
