Boston MONDAY Lectures.
"Of the ten million actual votes of
the United States. two millions can
not write their names. This is one
in FIVE; 80 that il use my hand as
an object lesson to represent the suf-
frage of the proudest Christian re-
public of all time, l must shut one
finger to cover the field Of illiteracy.
But semi-illiteracy is great mischief.
There are At least two million voters
who are not classed as illiterate, and
yet do not read enough to be able to
cast an intelligent ballot. l think
you will justify me in shutting the
little finger and its neighbor to rep
resent the general effect of the lack
of education upon our suffrage.
What is left? Here are the two fn-
fiers representing two parties, let US
say of respectable people; but they
political rivals. They bid against
each other for the vote of the litter.
ate classes. And here is the Satanic
thumb of the criminal classes. The
whisky rings own more property than
the shareholders ever did. They
have larger financial interests at
stake every year now in their trade,
than the rebellion leaders had in their
property in human beings In any one
year previous to the rebellion. If
that thumb should be closed over
those two illiterate fngers-that is, if
the dram shop oligarchy should make
illiteracy its political ally, as it has
done notoriously in all our past histo-
ry; if the ignorant vote should be SO
tutored by the criminal classes as to
be cast for the support of lawlessness
what would happen under universal
suffrage?
"This is fair question. l am not
an alarmist. Some politicians are
not saints; some people care for ma
jorities. In the last census nearly a
million of white voters are classed as
illiterates. The percentage of litter
acy in all but FIVE States of the Union
in 1880 was large enough to have re-
versed the results of the last pre-
ceding presidential election in each
of those states. If one of those long
er fingers were to shut itself down
upon that thumb, as the latter lies
clasped over those two illiterate
fingers, aud were to do this for the
purpose of retaining a majority, you
would have what l call the grip of
ruin on the throat of this nation.
Unloose it! Deliver America from
bondage to the uneducated!
''But to unloose it you must de-
stroy the numbness, the paralysis, the
illiteracy in these two smaller fingers;
and you must bring this thumb to a
better mind, and each long finger,
also. The death grip on the throa.
of any nation under universal suffrage
is combination of illiteracy with the
greedy criminal classes, the ancient
and not honorable family of the wax
noses, the weather-vane populations
who will go with majorities wherever
they can be had"

THE Republican Territorial Con-
vention, held in Boise City last Tues
day, elected Weldon B. Hepburn, of
Shoshone county, and George A
Black, of Alturas county, as delegates
to the National Convention, to be
held in Chicago. Willis Sweet, of
Nez Perce county, was chosen as al
ternate of Mr.. Hepburn, and Joseph
Pinkham, of Alturas county, as the
alternate of Mr.. Black. George L.
Shoup was recommended to represent
Idaho as member of the National
Republican committee.
Art. Smith, one of the delegates,
made few remarks, in which he said
that he hoped if the name of James
q. Blame came before the national
convention, the delegates elect would
voice the sentiments of nineteen
twentieths of the people of Idaho and
vote for his nomination. These re-
marks were loudly cheered.

She Swallowed the Car Fare

From the Lewiston (Me.J Journal.
If there is any one thing that makes
the horse car conductors mad it is the
custom of some folks using their
mouths as purses for the car fares. 1t
is a great nuisance in summer during
travel on the open cars where the con-
of passengers. A Lewiston con-
ductor says that children
are the worst Some of them dis
gorge a handful of change, and he
has to accept it. One day last sum-
mer very pretty young LADY who
was a guest in Auburn from Massa-
chusetts town was coming down from
the lake. She was one of gay
party of half dozen, and
they made merry on the down
trip. When he was one seat from her
in his tour of the car he looked over
at her. She was 50 pretty ne couldn't
help it. Just as he looked he was
paihed to notice a fearful change in
her cOuntenance. Her cheek bleached
and she seemed to choke. Her laugh
died on her lips, too, and she jOked no
more. When he got along to the party
the young lady's eyes were believed
with tears. II had some money!"
The conductor, with infinite tact,
says that he just passed it along say
ing, II know all about it. You've
swallowed it. / see you do it," The
young lady blushed and the car
ratified along. A child with five cop
pers in its mouth is fearful picture
for the conductor, but what do you
think of one with twenty-four cents in
its cheek? Better buy fine youngsters
Zoe purses.

AGENTS For THE LIGHT.
THE POLITICAL CoLoR-LINE.


A circular letter reaches this of
flee from Houston accompanied by a
printed plan of reorganization for the
republican party Of this state. This
plan proposes a dual organization Of
the party, practically two republican
parties, one white and the other col
ored, each having its separate organi-
cation yet forming the republican
party of the state and constituting an
integral part of the national republic
can party. The object is to do away
with the prejudice attaching to the
republican party as the party to
which the cOlored voters of the cOun-
try are largely attached, and so pave
the way for its more rapid increase in
the southern states. The scheme is a
plausible one, in that it assumes to
correct an inability, or at least to re-
move barrier to the spread of the re-
publican party in the southern states
o. that it may legitimately include all
those elements which are in unison
with it's declared policy on questions
Of tariff, public works, national educa-
ton, protection to home labor, and all
else for which the republican party is
the accepted exponent. The LIGHT
does not consider the scheme a practi-
cal one, and if practicable not wise or
advisable, and this for reasons.
The separation of the republican
forces of this state, or of any other for
that matter, into white republicans
and coIOred republicans could have
but one result, viz: either to complete
ly dominate the cOlored wing and rem
der it merely figure head of the
white wing, or to increase the repre-
sentation of the cO!Ored wing in the
councils of the party until its repre-
sentation should be accurately proper
toned to the vote it casts. Neither
ne of these conditions would be any
Improvement upon present conditions.
he first would surrender every prin-
pie of equitable consideration of the
Ilored voter, for which the republican
arty has stood so manfulIy during
ne past quarter of a century. The Sec
ond, would increase the very evils it
is now sought to avoid, and in four or
five of the southern states it would
hand the party over to the hopeless
domination and control of it's cOlored
element, thing neither desired by
them nor consistent with the interests
of the party. The LIGHT is not in any
sense unmindful Of the disabilities
under which the republican party is
laid by existing race conditions; it
knows as well as anyone the increase
tb 1T would come to the republican par
~ from southern white votes were the
soIored vote more evenly divided be-
Ween the two great parties OF the
country; il recognizes that there is a
growing demand in certain quarters
for what is called a white mans re-
pu blican party, but it does not believe

:. New Electric Motor.

Geo. F. Card, of Cincinnati, has
been a worker in the electrical field
for several years, and has recently
brought out an improved electric mo-
tor. The motor IS reported to have
been subjected to severe tests, and in
every instance satisfied its builders.
This motor possesses a method of
speed regulation that is simple, yet
new and desirable. 1t consists of a
difterential coil of low resistance in
shunt relation to series magnetiZing
coil, and a centrifugal governor driven
from the armature shaft by means of
a rubber belt made expressly for
the purpose. One end of the
differentiaI loop terminates at
the carbon point held secure
ly in a suitable bracket movable
on line with the governor shaft. By
means of screw the other end also
terminates at a carbon point which,
with its holder. forms part of the gov
ernOr mechanism. In starting the
motor this part of the governor is
open and the current flows through
the direct series coil, quickly increas-
ing the speed until the two carbons
are brought in contact; then the cur
rent divides, part flowing through the
ditferential coil and part through the
direct coil; the ampere turns in the
former, being sufficient to neutralize
the field. The tendency is for the
armature to stop, but the slight
est reduction of speed acts
to separate the carbons and bring
nto full effect the current in
the direct coil which quickly pulls
them together. AS a matter of fact
the shunt coil is never completely
open, the governing carbon keeping
up a constant vibration. The carbons
are of the finest quality and are one
inch in diameter. By means of a
thumb-sOrew the fixed carbon can be
moved backward or forward to in
crease or diminish the speed. In case
the governOObelt should break or fly
off the arms will collapse and close,
the reverse coil stopping the motor at
once.

STEVEN GROVER CLEVELAND.


Judge Noonan seems to have been
acquainted with the free trade presi-
dent when boy in New Jersey, the
native state of both gentlemen, and
the embryo sheriff, governor and one
term president was known then as
Steven Grover. The name, we are
informed by the Judge, was given his
old boyhood acquaintance by or for
his uncle. Why the Grover was re-
tanned and the Steven dropped is
probably known to the uncle and the
nephew of his uncle, if not to the
world. One uncle, being at the time OF
Cleveland's nomination to the presl-
dency, in Buffalo, did not see fit for
reasons sufficient to himself to sup
port his nephew's pretentions to the
presidential chair; cOntrarywise, he
was chairman of republican club
and supported Blaine. Was this the
uncle whose name the president
originally bore, and was the name of
Steven dropped because the uncle did
not see his way clear to support his
nephew's candidacy for so high an
office? The LIGHT does not know.
Some early or later acquaintance of
Grover, no longer Steven, may be
able to supply the information.
