SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 6.-The Japan
Herald, received here by the steamer City
of Pekin, to-day, has advices from Seoul,
under date of Dec. 6, to the effect that the
Chinese government has submitted three
demands to the Corean government, and
threatens that if the latter shows any dis
position to object to them, measures will be
taken to force the COreans to acQuiesce.
The demands were that the King be de-
posed and the Crown Prince be elected in
stead, with his father as regent; that Corea
shall declare herself to all treaty powers to
be a dependent of China, and that Chinese
officers be placed at Juensan, Jenchua and
Fusen to exercise diplomatic functions.
The Corean Premier memOralized the King.

same time offering his resignation. Judge
Denny, the Kings confidential adviser, also

her objects as regards COrea, both nations

The Decoration of Puttkamer.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-The action of Emperor
William in comforting upon Herr Won Putt
kamer the Order of the Black Eagle, is the
subject of much comment in court circles.
In view of the dismissal of Puttkamer by
the late Emperor Frederick, for reasons
based upon the fact that the then Minister
of the Interior was discovered to be employ
rather than those of statesman, in the
conduct of his official business, the
EmperOr's selection of that individual as
one altogether worthy of the high honor
conferred hsd is regarded asa as at Least an exhl6
quite consistent with the recent Bismarck
ian policy, and was no doubt inspired by
the Chancellor as a measure of resentment
of the slight upon him by the only German
ruler who dared to assume that he, and not
Bismarck, was the controller of the desti-
nies of the empire.

that price it should find readers in
majority of the homes of this Sta,e.

The s'white caps" have notified a
young bachelor physician Of Fairhaven
that he must marry in IA days or leave
town. The poor fellow does not know
what to do. He thinks it is pretty
short time in which to hunt up a wife
fall in love with her, propose TO her,
with the risk of refusal, go through all
the perils ofcourtship, prepare the we'd
ding garments, plan the bridal tour, etc.
There is an unseemly haste about these
modern regulators of society that does
not harmonize with the established or
der of things. There may be some
boys play about this business, but it is
just as well to let the play lead off in
some other direction.

THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION.

Not long ago reference was made in
this journal to the restriction of the
suffrage as a remedy for some of our
political evils. In the Feb. Century
Washington GLADDEN. discusses the
same question, and makes some sug-
gestions regarding methods of restric-
ton. ssWho shall vote?" is a question
that should precede all others in dis
cussing the safeguards of the ballot.
The Constitution Of the u. S. does not
settle IL; the constitutions Of the sever
al states differ in the qualifications pre-
scribed, and public opinion is not unan-
imous. The question is opea. The
right to vote is not natural right. Ii
is a poll ical right The state confers
it or withholds it as it seems best. To
exercise it properly under a system of
popular government education is need
ed. In our generosity we have eniran-
ehisel multitudes of ignorant voters
Here lies our danger. 1t is difficult to
take the ballot away from any class al
ter il has once been conferred. The
methods of restriction suggested begin
with education. Let each state and
the United States put into their consti-
tutions the suggestion of the II. Hamp-
shire constitutional convention, viz:
that no foreigner be allowed to vote
until he can read the constitution of the
country in the English language. Let
the same rule apply to all as they come
to manhood and claim the right to vote.
While such provision as this does not
interfere with those already invested
with the right of suffrage, it prepares
the way for a more intelligent class of
voters. The ignorant, both among the
whites and blacks, native and foreign
born, would be gradually eliminated.
Such method as this could be carried
out without serious commotion in the
state, as its chief concern is with those
who may hereafter become citizens of
the state. Another method of restrict
ing the suffrage is by Withdrawing it
from those who have been convicted OF
rhine, and Withholding it from such as
rave within a certain definite period
previous to application been found gull
v of misdemeanors by the courts. AS
matter of fact, whatever may be said !
bout the difficulty of taking the ballot t
way, it is Withdrawn in most of the
tates for certain specified causes. All
,ut three make disfranchisement the
,enaltv for certain offenses. The states J
reat the matter very differently, how i

WEST RANDOLPH VT, FEBRUARY 1889

The maple sugar exchange. organic
ed last year is to take hold of the work
this year with greater energy. The
managers of it are fully confident that
they can make good thing for the
farmers of the state. 1t takes time 10
gain experience, and the exchange en-
ters upon the work of a second year
with renewed confidence. A trade
mark has been adopted, and the idea
seems to prevail that for the successful
marketing of sugar or syrup it should
be put up in smaller packages. Alpha
Messer of Rochester is leading spirit
in this enterprise. His position in the
state grange and his work in the inter-
est of the farmers of the state is guar
sntee that the Exchange means busi-
ness, and will help the farmers if the
farmers will cooperate with it.

The Department of Agriculture has
been established and the present COM
missioner, Norman j. Colman, has
been elevated to the rank of secretary.
This appointment, of course, is only
temporary. Charles Loring of Mass.
has been frequently mentioned for the
position in the new cabinet. Warner
Miller of New York, has received fa-
vorable mention. Some think prac-
teal farmer should have the place. We
do think it makes much difference as to
whether the appointee knows the diff
ference between hen and pnllet or
when the transition takes place, but his
subordinates should know all about
these things and be prepared to enlight-
en- the people. The new department

ever. What is needed is uniformity OF
action, and this is the principle upon
which they should act: "Let any mis-
demeanor that brings a man under the
censure of the criminal laws deprive
him, for season at least, of the suf-
frage." The idea here made promin-
ent is, that no man who wilfully breaks
the laws should have any part in max
ing them. AS it now is only some of
the grosser crimes work disfranchise-
ment. The arrangement ought to be
such that every offence of which a man
is convicted shall operate to debar him
of this right. The great majority OF
convictions are for what may be called
misdemeanors as distinguished from
felonies. One writer says that the
state suffers more economical injury
from the constant attacks of misdemean-
ants-drunkards, brawlers and thieves
than from the occasional assaults of
felons. The former are the worst enc
mics Of society. These are the ones a
gainst whom disfranchisement should
operate, and it should operate in pro-
portion to the magnitude OF the offence.
1t has not been long since in one OF our
cities a number of men were taken by
the officers from the city prison and
conducted to the place Of registration
that their names might appear upon
the voting lists. This was an outrage
upon every free, intelligent, honest vo-
ter. For the higher crimes complete
disfranchisement should work, for the
lesser crimes, shorter terms would be
better, such as the court might deter
mine from the nature of the offence
This is practicable matter. The clerks
of the courts can furnish lists of con-
victed persons to the boards of registra-
ton, and their names can be stricken
off. Still another method of restricting
the suffrage is by taking it away from
those who receive state aid. This is
now done in some of the states. 1t
would have cleansing effect in the cit
les. 1t might work an injustice to
few worthy voters, but it would sift out
the great majority Of those who are the
tools and victims of heelers and bribers.
1t is upon the vicious and indolent poor
that the demagogue phys his arts and
his money. The removal of the right
Of suffrage would take ell this material
out of hand and not work so great
wrong against those upon whom falls
the burden of government. This prin
ciple of taking the ballot from the COM
ing ignorant, vicious, and paupers, es

a multitude of those who make up the
rank and file OF the dangerous classes.
The quicker our Legislators seek to put
in operation some or all of these meth
DDS or more efficient ones, the better
will it be for the country. An import
ant way of reforming the ballot is to
reform the voting lists. These things
demand earnest consideration.

The republicans in Delaware are now
coming to the surface and showing a
hand in the administration Of public at
fairs. Having broken up the old polit-
ical regime they are going to try aud
civilize things a little. They have laid
their hands upon the saloons and intend
to hold them in check. These are a
sort of democratic manufactures and
it is Just as well to turn off some of the
machinery. The republican party in
Delaware as well as in other parts of
the country is the party of progress and
social reform. As an instrument of
social reform we hope they will let the
whipping post stand. This may be a
relic of barbarism but we have some
barbarians in these days, perpetuated
from the ancient races, that need the
discipline of just such relic. After
the republicans have handled Delaware
a few years the state will hardly know
itself.
