CONGRESS NO HIGHER THAN ITS SOURCES.

SUFFRAGE ONLY CAPABLE OF EXPRESSING TIE
GENERAL AVERAGE OF THOSE EXERCISING IT
THE SOUTHERN STATES AS AN ILLUSTRATION.
TO me Editor OF The tribune.
SIR: In view of what you said the other
day about Congress and the Colleges" permit me To
mako o suggestion. The representation in Congress
must all times preserve certain definite Likeness, 10
the constituencies behind This very broad express
sion OF the idea. What is meant is this II the suffrage
Is confined TO particular and favored class the repre-
sentatiyes will be found, the whole, 10 reflect tho
average ability, culture and integrity Of that class IL
suffrage the basis Of universally the represoE-
tatiyes will indicate the average OF the nation. Unyer
sal suffrage produce other result aud ougAt
not to produce any other If it could.
One hundred years ago suffrage was not universal In
the United The approach thereto has been COM
paratiyely gradual II the moral ana mental progress
OF the people had kept pace with the extension OF the
suffrage there would have been no dectienco IN ho
quality OF the representatives To-day there Is close
approach TO universal made suffrage throughout the
Republic. The result is apparent in The over KIND OF
men up Congress. To be sure this Is dscredlt-
abb condition OF affairs Tue better classes OF cLons
feel dsgraced; yet they grope about blndy IN trying
discover the cause The fault Is not IN the colleges
but the Ignorance and depravity Of the masses whlch
prevent them from distinguishing aud apprecldtug su-
peror mental and moral fitness for public stations.
These principles mud striking calculation In the la's
rebel States. SO long the political power therein Vas
confined special classes or relatively superior edued
ton and responsibility the representation IN congress
was respectable. With the enfranchisement OF tho
blacks the extension Of the suffrage TO thei ana
TO equally Ignorant classes OF whites the representation
has fallen off quality. There two ways out OF THIS
dilemma aud but two Either the suffrage must 90 re-
sricted, the character OF the masses must De es
waited. Ii Is simply folly 10 insist that sunrdSe sna 90
better than TO strike the average Oh tno5e " ~aO -
exercised. see no reason to expect larger mlhdu
and purer-soued delegation IN CONGRESS un tue ma

SEWING MACHINE AGENTS IN TROUBLE

SEWING MACHINE AGENTS IN TROUBLE
At the instance of the State Treasury
Agent. 81. B. Palmer, was brought to a
jury trial before Judge Olmstead on
charge of peddling sewing machines
without license in this county. The ex-
animation and trial continued during
portions of Thursday and Friday, at
the conclusion of which a verdict in
favor of the Plaintiff the State of Wis
colsin) was rendered and damages as
sessed at $35 and costs of suit In the
case of Henry Sibree, Jr. and H. c.
Willard, tried for the same offense, the
testimoney only was taken and the
penalty left discretionary with the court,
who fined the former $40 and costs and
the latter 1915 and costs. The defendants
took all appeal to the Circuit Court, and
as they will be test cases, the result is
looked for with considerable interest.
Following is the law under which the
verdict was rendered, and appears to be
so plain that the Circuit Court cannot
but sustain Judge Olmstead's decision:
SECTION 1. No person shall be al
lowed to travel from place to place with
in this State for the purpose Of carrying
to sell or exposing to sale any goods,
wares or merchandise, unless he shall
have obtained license as a hawker and
peddler in the manner hereinafter pro-
vide1 Gene1ut LaU 1870.

GAs-Mr. Sherrard, of the Western
Excelsior Gas Co., (the company that
has entered into contract with our city
for the establishing of gas works. has
been in town for several days. He is
endeavoring to interest our citizens in
the enterprise by getting them to sub
scribe to the capital stock of the COM
pa.ly. The amount proposed to be in
vested here is $40, 1000. Some $4,000
OF $15, 900 stock has either already been
taken Or promised. The location of the
gas works has not yet been decided upon.
Mr.. Sherard informs rs that the ma
chinery is in process of manufacture, and
he hopes the work can be commenced
here this fall. It is proposed that the
principal management of the works shall
be in the hands Of our own citizens.
The gas will be made of naptha, which
is very clearly. An idea of it's illumin-
ating power may be obtained by
knowledge of the fact that one Give
foot burner" 4. e. burner that will
consume five cubic feet Of gas in one
hour, gives light equal to that produc
ed by sixteen candles. The gas is more
expensive than coal oil, but when the
expense Of lamps, breakage, and
trouble is taken into consideration, to
say nothing of cleanliness. we can say
that no one will burn lamps after once
having tried gas.

BIDS for repairing the steamer City OF

BIDS for repairing the steamer City OF
Toledo, recently damaged by fire at
Manistee, were opened on Saturday in
Milwaukee. They were as follows ::
Milwaukee Shipyard Company, $40, 900;
Wolf & Davidson, 50, $50; Rand & Ber-
ger. Manitowoc, $4,000. As the bids
are all below the amount necessary to
abandon, it remains with the Engelmann
Company to decide where and by whom
the work shall be done, and it seems
but natural that Messrs Rand & Berger
will get the job.

NEW BRIDGE ACEEPTED.
The Question of Nuts. Pivots and Live
Rings Freely Disc ussed.

There has been considerable said re-
Gently about the acceptance OF the new
bridge on Eight Street, arising from
difference of opinion among the gentle
men comprising the City Council 1t
appears that considerable change was
made from the plans and specifications
as submitted to and accepted by the
Council, and at the meeting held last
Thursday evening discussion arose as
to whether the city was gamer or loser
| by the operation. A consultation was
held. which resulted in the presentation
of majority report in favor of its &C
ceptance, and minority report the
makers of which took the sensible
ground that some provision should be
made to secure the city against injury,
resulting from the change in the specifi-
cations, and after much argument pro
and con an adjournment was made until
| the Saturday evening following. 1t
that meeting Mr.. John Meyer, the con-
/ tractor, submitted bond according to
resolution passed at the special meeting
on Thursday previous, to secure the city
against the breaking of the ''hve-ring"
one of the essential pieces Of iron con-
neeted with the table Mr. Soul
ernie, engineer, was present and said the
bridge, as it was built, cost more than
| it would, had 1t been built according to
the old plan still it was liable to break
through carelessness of the bridge-tend-
er. Father Schuette thought an en-
gineer ought to make his calculations SO
as to be sure of the result, without any
ifs or ands, to which Mr.. Soulerin re-
piled that he was willing to give bonds,
but considered the principle of doing so
as wrong He suggested the taking
down of the bridge and rebuilding it &C
cording to plans first made, to which,
however, the fathers would not hear
Father Bean wanted to know what right
contractor had to change the plans
! without the consent Of the Board, to
which pertinent query he received no
satisfactory answer. Father Dumke
was Of the opinion that, when q con-
tractor took it upon himself to change
the plan accepted by the Council, lie
should be willing TO take the RESPONSE
bility of making the City good by giving
bonds for the proper working of the
bridge. He further stated that for the
proper working of the same the whole
pressure should be ON the pivot that
the live-ring was very light, rs we're also
the nuts-and argued that in conse-
quence there was danger OF the breaking
of the ring. Father Rand moved the
reconsideration OF the minority report.
After reconsideration, Father Bean
moved the bond to be given by the con-
tractor should be for $1,000, that the
ive-ring, in spite of the pressure of the
pivot, should hold good for three years.
Mr.. Meyer gave the bond, the bridge
was accepted, motion was made to pay
Mr.. Meyer the amount due him, and the
Council adjourned, happy in the con-
seriousness of having performed their
/, duty to the city.
