THE Waco Register publishes an ertenso
the speeches of w. T. G. Weaver, the Other
Mr.. johnson, (born branded with the right
to vote) and the narrative of the Navarro
man. Mr.. Martini By the way, the latter
gentleman says in his speech that no State
except Tennessee imposes the poll-tax re-
stTiction-he s'inds it in none of their Con-
stitntions.'" Then he has never read the
laws made and enforced in Georgia under
the Constitution Of Georgia. There the
poll tax has accomplished its most benef.
cent purpose and cleansed the ballot box.

IeNoRANr suffrage is double calamity.
It defeats and lessons the sum of intelli-
genee devoted to purposes of government,
and then it adds to the sum of ignorance
and vice that renders government sooner OF
later intolerable. Il is both positive
and negative calamity. and wrongs as much
the ignorant as the intelligent voter.
1t is thus doubly ealamitOus. 1t comes Of
excessive Democracy and ends in anarchy,
as we have seen IN Mississippi, and neees
sarily evolves a iespotism as We must SCI

y. D. L. of Corsicana writes an excellent
letter, which will appear when we can find
space forit. 1t is the habit of the STATES
MAN to say what it thinks, without regard
to partisan dictation. Not the less true is
it that the STATESMAN is opposed to tariffs
and to national banks, to Radicalism as de-
veloped in Thad Stevens Ben Butler univer-
sal suffrage, and believes in. home rule or To-
cal independence. If this pleases Mr.. L.,
as it does many people we wot of about
Corsicana, there is no reason why he and
the STATESMAN may not be fast friends.
