Do the advocates Of female suffrage know
that they have at last got their way in one Of
the largest states in the union?
In adopting what is called revision, but
which is for the most part only repubi-
cation of their statutes, the last legislature of
Texas re-enacted so much of article 6, sec
tions and of the constitution, rs fol-
lows
ARTICLE 1,6S7.-The following persons
shall not be allowed to vote, to wit: -
l. Idiots aud upalica.
2. All psupers supported by any coun-
Iy.
3. All persons convicted of any felony.
4. All soldiers, marines aud seatasn EN-.

BY re.enacting the precise words Of The
constitution, the legislature authorized the
presumption that tho sections Incorporated
as articles were meant to 6c construed to
DO "cyil statutory enactJaents 2" Indeed

by the people by means OF delegates, and is
not amendable or repealabln as ordinary acts
OF the Legislature are, does not cause it TO be
more or less than comparatively permanent
and higher grade of statutory law.
The legislature, at the same time, provided
as follows:
