Der Of representatives of their own and
cccting the members only strike the
frlahcen aS an occasion for causing
them expense and trouble. So far from
being anxious TO vote, this blinded pop
ukliOn refuses to do so; and it becomes
an open question whether they will not
have to bo driven to the polls chained
together two and two, rs Arab is said
to have driven somo of them to the
carthworks OF Alexandria. People who
are supposed to have influence are i'm
plorcd bv the cultivatOrs to use it in
order to get them exempted from
using the unwelcome right. They say
that they can not afford to bo away
from their crops at this particular sea-
son for the purpose of recording their
votes; and if they cared to speak the
truth about the matter they would
probably say that they mistrust the
whole business. 1t must be meant TO
harass and cheat them; it will get them
into trouble with some one or other.
And meantime, while tho voters are
paying bribcs to get of voting, the
representative elected by n great
majority in one of tho largest con-
stiluenciCs declines to sit because he is
altogether opposed to the whole system

oughly solid character of American
society. Tho pccularities are on Che

has become sacred to the whole Amori-

1t is refreshing to read a speech de-
livercd by an EngiShman to an Ameri.

in praise Of tho mere bignoss of the

PC. Mozoomdar, the Brahmin who
is lecturing in various city churches
this week on "Lifo in India" spoke in
the Broadway tabernacle, at Broadway
and Thirty fourth street, last night.
The church was well filled, and the au-
dience listened with close attention 10
the foreigner, who was introduced by

In speaking of the education in India,
supported by the government, Mr..
MOzoombar said that it was wholly
secular, no proiessed follower of any
religious sect being allowed to teach in
the schools, while agnostics, skeptics,
and invalids were freely employed.
Referring to the Hindoo women, the
speaker said in substance:
"a little Hindoo girl is rs sweet and
pretty as any American girl, but at the
age of 6 years her parents become
anxious about her; at Z her parents be-
come more anxious, tho anxiety in

is to make as profitable amatch as pos
