A VALUABLE OLD BUNDLE.

Thousands or Dollars That lay Me-

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
"Talking about business, a" said an old
and well-known lawyer on South Fith
street yesterday, " II il not what 1t used to

The People Rale, Not the Paupers.


delphia has determined to challenge at
the coming election the votes Of those
whose tax receipts have been taken out
BY the Republican committee. Twenty
1thouAand Of such receipts have been
! iasuad to that committee, notwithstand-
{ ing, the fact that the Philadelphia court
has declared that the suffrage require
ment that the voter shall have paid a
tax Is not satisfied unless such tax has
been paid by himself. This coDstruc-
tion h well grounded. A mans tax
may he discharged by another, but II by
no means follows that when the tax is
paid, the right to vote Is obtained. This
qualification was not made in order to
secure tax revenue, but II was obviously
based upon the opinion tlat citizen
who is not willing TO pay tax of the
smallest amount is not worthy OF the
voting franchise. The distinct require.
ment is made that he shall have paid a
tax, and certainly he does not pay II
when someone else pays 1t for him.
There Is not substantial compliance
with the requirement when the voter
does not himself pay the tax and so
signify that he Is willing to make some
sacrifice to obtain the right TO vote.
And there Is strong reason In morals
and good government for demanding
that the voter himself shall have
paid tax, as Ia clear from the admitted
abuse and wrong that is perpetrated in
the wholesale taking out Of tax receipts
by party committees. The practice is
indefensible. 1t cannot Ike defended on
the ground Of humanity, and rs a relief
to the deserving voter from an oppres-
sive imposition, since the tax which he
is asked for rs a condition of suffrage Is
but twenty-five cents, which sum any
one not a pauper can easily pay. And
the people Of the state have just passed
their opinion upon the question Of the
propriety ofthis suffrage requirement in
amore emphatic way, by defeating with
an overwhelming majority constitu-
tional amendment which proposed to
efface it from the fundamental law.
They declared that II should stay there /;
and the only reason for their decision
was their feeling that 1t was a just re-
quirement that the man who wished TO
SOte SuOWtu tIldt 1c Delu tne privilege
In some esteem by voting the small tax
levied upon 1t.
The act Of the Republican committee
Of Philadelphia in taking out twenty
thousand tax receipts after this decided
expression of popular opinion, and after
the Just construction of the constitution
by the Philadelphia courts, is brazen
defiance Of the law and the popular
judgment. The Democratic committee
did right in refusing to pay for tax re-
ceipts, and will do their simple duty in
challenging all voters who claim the
franchise upon the strength Of these
committee-bought receipts which are
good against the demand of the tax col
lector, but invalid against that of the
election officer. Ina democracy the peo-
pie rule, but not the paupers. The man
who has the will to work can always
spare from his income twenty cents
year for the public treasury (; and the
imbecility that cannot compass such Il
tax is not worthy Of the manly suffrage.

JUDGE CHAuNcY JosLYN, of Ann Arbor.
Michigan, who died on Thursday, was
noted for stern sentences given in a pecu-
liarly cheerful way that made him cordially
hated by criminals. A few months ago a
young man was convicted of serious
crime and when called up for sentence the
court said:
You have heretofore borne a good charac.
ter, and feel that the best interests of So
ciety will be snbserved by giving you "a
light sentence. The law says may give
you hfteen years at Jackson, but in view
of your record and the mitigating circum-
stances surrounding your case, will max o
the sentence fourteen years.

GEN. NELSON A. MILES, commanding

latest effort quite eclipscs all before

attention 10 thu fact that there Is not
a single gun In position to protect the
cities of Puget sound and the commercial
interest of the Northwest. "with all
our boasted intelligence and pride of in
stitutions, inventive genius, superiority
in many of the arts, industries and COM
mercial enterprises. we are as far behind
In the modern appliances of war as the
people of China or Japan. A board of
officers was appointed by Gen. Miles to
examine the entire coast. II is estimated
TO put this coast in n proper condition of
Defense" says Gen. Miles. "would require
573 modern guns and mortars, with their
proper carriage and ammunition.
Their estimated cost would be $780,
OCT, $50. Plants for the manufacture of
these should be established on tho Pacific
coast" To this end the general recon-
mends one appropriation of s250,0 to se-
cure the titles TO strategic points necessary,
another of sl,0oo,000 to establish n plant,
and third of S25,000,O00, or as much as

Pns6arg Dispatch.
Both the Press and Dispatch are organs
of the Republican party, the party which
believes trusts private and Legitimate
affairs. The Dispatch Is just as organic as
the Philadelphia windbag on the tariff
question. On the trust situation It's opinions
are not agreeable to its party contempo-
raries. The Dispatch's proposition to feel
the public pulse concerning its attitude
toward trusts is not noticed by tho Press.
In 1892 the cry of Democrats will be:
"Crusb the Trustsi" And there will be
spontaneous rally to that slogan. Tho
Press and its kind can not gain advantage
for tho Republican party by defending
trusts. The operations of trusts are being
understood by the masses. Discussion
will enlighten them. Let the Press begin
by aniagonizing the arguments presented
