1t Is stated that the suffrage committee"
held meeting at the Office of Mr. Durant on
Saturday night and adopted memorial to all
the states of the Union in behalf OF restoring to
the people of the District of Columbia the right
OF suffrage. The citizens of the District have
shown their aversion to the project of restoring
undiluted suffrage here so Enthusiastically that it
is not strange the suf1ragists should abandon
all hope of getting up any boom in favor of their
scheme here; but in changing their base of oper-
ations it Is a slight piece of impertinence
on the part of this squad of persons in Mr.. Du-
rants office,-these ''three tailors Of Tooley
eet,"-to assume to speak to the country for
the people of this District. The Murder Bay ell
ement is already large enough and troublesome
enough; and instead of encouraging its growth
and power by giving 1t the ballot, the duty of
good citizenship should be to discourage
its presence in the District by every pos
sible means. From this time forth a steady
pressure should be brought to bear upon the
dangerous class who are daily and nightly COM
Knitting these robber1es, outrageS and MURDERS
to induce them to seek other quarters. They
are congregated in Washington In numbers be-
yond any opening for employment. even If they
were disposed to work, which, as q rule, they
are not. The hope held out to them that by
the restoration of suffrage they will enter upon
fuSA times is deluSive one. The sooner they
learn that there will be no restoration of suf-
frage in the District, and that they must seek a
livelihood elsewhere, the better. There is
plenty of employment for their strong arms in
the country or in the commercial Cities and
they should be invited and encouraged to seek
1t at once.

1t is to be hoped that the influence at the
White House which is understood to be opposed
to the infection of capital punishment in the
District OF Columbia will take occasion to
aequaint itself, by reading or otherwise. with
the nature and particulars of the awful outrage
committed almost under the shadow of the
Capitol last Friday night. 1t is evident to the
dullest comprehension that Washington is in
tested with crime or a character and to an
extent that could hardly exist In any other
community, and it is equally clear that the
leniency OF our criminal laws and the laxity
with which they have generally been enforced
are largely TO blame for this dsgraceful and
terrible state OF affairs AS things go here, 1t is
difficult enough in all conscience to secure a
conviction for the most palpable and heinous
offences, and when once the courts have been
able TO accomplish the duty for which they
were created the law ought to be allowed to
take its course, without delay or modification of
any Kind. In no other way can public order be
maintained or the protection OF society be
secured

N. de LeSSeps has issued a circular full of rose
colored Information In regard to the inter-
oceanic canal and giving the terms upon which
half the capital stock Of the enterprise will be
offered In America. He explains the rights con-
coded by the Colombian government for canal
purposes, and states that the maximum cost of
the canal will be $4,000, 600 francs, as already
announced, but he estimates that the actual
figures will not greatly exceed 600 600 900 francs
He fixes the capital stock at the latter figure
and states that business of 5000, 900 tons an
nually may be counted upon from the opening
of the canal; that at the rate fixed, OF fifteen
francs per ton, this will yield a revenue of
90,O0O,OOO francs, return OF ten per cent on
sum much larger than the outside estimate of
the cost OF the canal Thus does de LeSsepS
spread the whole scheme on paper in the most
encouraging, not to say enticing, light. American
capitalists are to be allowed the privilege of
taking stock to the amount of 800, 900 900 francs
and they are to be offered an tnducement to
thus invest their money. The circular an
nounceS that IAN interest of five per cent. Will
De paid to the shareholders on the sums paid
by them during the progress of the work. and
also during one year after the opening OF the
canal to large vessels" De Lesseps will proba-
bly, ascertain before he gets through placing his
stock that he made mistake in Offering any
special inducement. Wary capitalists will be
apt TO conclude that an investment which
can promise return Of ten per cent. profit and
can pay hve per cent interest on the money
until that promise can be redeemed Is too good
thing to be entirely safe. This sort of Sin
ducement' may take in France but it will
hardly facilitate the stock subscriptions in this
country.

The recent unimportant city election in Phila-
delphia promises to be the means Of achieving
some important results in the way Of purifying
the ballot. For some years past the cry of fraud
has been raised with regard to every election
held In that city, and If one-half told by local
papers and politicians be true, ballot-box stuff
ting and repeating have become the main reli.
ance OF candidates for office there. In the
recent contest for local offices the machine poll
ticians were divided into factions, and they
fought each other bitterly. Quarrels have
arisen over the result and exposures have fol-
lowed to such an extent that number OF Der
sons are now in the hands OF the law charged
with election frauds Through this falling out
OF the machine men Of both political parties 1t
believed that some OF the persons who have
Systematically corrupted the ballot in that city
can be brought to punishment and the practices
they have followed broken up

The Cincinnati Enquirer thinks Senator Bay
ards secession speech" added to the fact that
he is southern man. removes him from the list
OF probable democratic candidates for Presi-
dent. Mr.. Bayard was born in Delaware, and
though 1t is OFTEN spoken of as southern state,
there is no good reason why it should be desig-
mated as such. Delaware is one Of the middle
states In geographical classification, and its
extreme southern territory is not as far south
as portions OF Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Dur
ing and since the war custom of including In
the term ''the south" all those states which
Joined In the rebellion has prevailed and in this
way Arkansas and Tennessee became classed
among southern states. Later Oh it became
common to include Missouri and Kentucky
among the states designated as the south,
though there Is no warrant whatever
for it. In the ordinary acceptation of that term,
even with the engagements of late years,
Mr.. Bayard can hardly be fairly called south
ern man, whatever may be his merits or de-
merits as democratic presidential candidate
And in this connection it might be remarked
that If democratic leaders go into the business
OF raking up each others records and searching
for expressions unfriendly to a vigorous pros
ecution of the war against the insurrectionary
states there will be great deal Of stone-throw-
ing by persons living in glass houses. When
ever this sort of thing has been done by repub
ncan organs or speakers. the democrats have
cried out against 1t aS revival of the animosI-
ties of the wal. Now If democrats enter upon
such warfare against each other they will find
In the end that they have injured themselves
and benefited the republican party.
