MOORE AS REPRESENTATIVE.

The STATESMAN hopes that Mr. Taylor
Moore may get there. That he will, no
one can doubt who knows the people of
Travis county. They are thoroughly ac-
quainted with Mr.. Moore, his record, his
principles, his capabilities ard his aims.
Mr.. Moore, too, one of the people of
Travis county himself, knows, and knows
thoroughly, their wants, desires and needs.
No man in this county is more capable of
effectually presenting the claims and
wishes of his constituents upon the floor
of the house of representatives. His hon
esty of purpose. no less than his ability as
a speaker and his forensic talents. are a
sufficient guarantee to the people of
Travis county that their interests will be
safe in his hands In the future as they
have been in the past.

EXPENSIVE COLLECTORS.

There are in the United States fifty-five
custom houses, which do not pay the ex-
pense of running them. Instead of
bringing in a revenue they have to be
supported. The prices of collecting one
dollar in these custom houses ranges
from S1.O4 to $23.16; the latter is in st.
Mary's, Ga, where the receipts for last
year were $40, against 1881 expenses.
In Nantucket, Mass, it costs SOTO to
collect one dollar; receipts, 500; expenses,
$685.. The question of abolishing a
great many of these expensive Injuries
and consolidating them with contiguous
districts has been raised. There is only
one of these white elephants in Texas,
and it seems to be very much opposed to
the economical basis upon which the gov
eminent is run to cOntine these custom
houses at such great expense to the
country.

GIANT MONOPOLIES.

The Western Union Telegraph com
pany has exhausted every legal bubble
and technical delay to stave off that two
million dollar suit, and now they are com
PEELED to toe the mark. There seems to
be a determination on the part of the ju
dietary which has control of this case to
do justice to the company which has been
tram pied upon by its giant rival. Equal
rights and privileges should be secured to
all companies alike, and because the
Western Union chances to possess nearly
all the Geographic franchise in the coun-
to choke Off and crush out of existence,
those competing lines which are honestly
endeavoring to make Roadway against
this terrible rival. There is similar con-
tlict between the Bennett-Mackey Cable
company and the Anglo-American com
pany. The former started on an econom-
ical basis, and charged rate which would
pay a dividend on its genuine stock, but
the latter has swelled out its stock with
water to such unnatural proportions that
it is impossible to pay dividend at the
rate set by its modest rival, and the re-
suit is, that the Anglo-American company
have cut rates down to a ruinous figure,
both for itself and the other company, in
I'm IL
work worth cent. Assurances are com
ing in on all sides that the young com
pany will be patronized despite the cut
rates of the other company, as long as
they give the satisfaction that they have
given in the past.

THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.

One of the writers in the North Ameri
can Review suggests the adoption of 6
qualification for voters which will gradu
ally adapt itself to the necessities of this
country. The suggestion is that laws be
passed requiring every man who arrives
at the age of twenty-one years to know
how to read and write before he can vote
and every foreigner to have this qualifica-
ton added to his Others before he can be
naturalized. In this way natural de-
crease of illiteracy would follow without
any startling or radical changes. As the
right of suffrage has been exercised here
tofore in this country it is impossible to
graft any qualification on to the present
system which would have the effect of cut
ting off thousands of voters at one fell
swoop. The change must be gradual, and
so conservative that it's effect would not
be felt until in few years, when it would
suddenly be discovered that something
had been accomplished by an irspercepti-
BILE change which years of study and legis-
lating had failed to accomplish.
1t is absolutely necessary that some
such qualification should be attached to
the right of suffrage. This right is one of
the attributes of the members of repub-
lican form of government, and if not in
diligently exercised, instead of being a
safeguard to protect the people, it is a
subtle inroad into rights and privileges
more necessary than this.
An ignorant voter has intrusted in his,
keeping powerful force, which can be
used for the most beneficial purposes or
else prostituted to the most dangerous.
Can anyone fail, then, to understand,
that in educating the one who exercises
this ''crowning franch Sc" the standard of
our people is elevated, and a dangerous
element is transformed into most useful
and necessary support of the vested and
inherent rights and privileges of repub-
lican people.
The many attempts to adopt the proper
kind of qualifications for voters, by lead
ing statesmen, has shown its necessity,
and the discovery of method to attain
this end without radical and anarchical
changes, is one of the most valuable dis
coveries of this age.
The one suggested above would seem
to contain all the elements necessary to
change, and at the same time
be most beneficial in its results.
The speedy adoption of this qualifca-
ton would be step in the right dIrec-
ton, and instead of having retroactive
effect or impairing any present vested
rights, would retain to all who now exer-
else the right of suffrage that right I'M
changed, and only effect those who wish
TO exercise this right in the future.

MOURNING IN COREA.
A Native Gentleman Explains Why Ho Has
Remained a Bachelor.

Remained a Bachelor.
In walking through the streets of
Seoul one often meets with figures
clothed from head to foot in grayish-
yellow sackcloth, with bright yellow
hats-or rather broad-brimmed straw
baskets on their heads; men, moreover,
who further disguise their identity by
holding strip of sackcloth stretched
on pieces of stick in front of their faces.
These are motirners. In the year 1889
Japanese traveller who landed on the
northeast coast found the officials and
all the inhabitants in this lugubrious
masquerade. They were in mourning
for the Queen, who was supposed to
have been murdered, but who, after the
people had worn sackcloth half year
for her sake, emerged safe and sound
from the hiding-place where she had
taken refuge from the pursuit of her
wicked father-in-law, Tai-on-Kun. For
Queen it is customary to mourn
twelve months, for parents and near
kinsfolk three years. What deep in
tluence this prescriptive usage has upon
the life OF the people is illustrated by
the following story of an aged bachelor
who was asked why he had never taken
a wife. "My parents, as well as my
self, he said, "were DESTROYS that /
should marry, and suitable young lady
being found, our betrothal took place.
Then my future father-in-law died, and
we had, of course, to wait three wears.
! had hardly put off my mourning when
l had to bewail the loss of my own poor
father; necessarily here was another
term of three years waiting. When
these were up the mother of my future
wife took sick and expired, and thus we
were obliged to delay our marriage an
other three years. Lastly, | had the
misfortune to lose my own dear mother,
which naturally caused further adj
journment. So that, as four times three
makes twelve, that number of years had
passed over our heads and made us
both the older. At this time my be-
trothed fell i'll, and as she was at deaths
door l went to pay her last visit. MY
future brother-in-law met me at the
door and said Although you are not
formally married, yet perhaps l may
for this once look upon you as man and
wife; come in and see her. Ihad hardly
entered and been face to face with my
poor wife than she breathed her last.
When saw this all thoughts of marriage
fled from me. and | have remained a
bachelor ever since. Cor. CHICAGO
