struggle ensued. The lady screamed for

Fsiddlebercer on Malone.

Especial Dispatch to the Alexandria Gazettc]
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Ex-senator
Rddleberger and ex Senator Malone were
seen for moment together last night. When
they parted company the Senator was asked
what he thought of General Malone as 3
possible cabinet officer. He said he thought
cabinet officer ought to have read the
Constitution Of the United States, and es-
pecialiy should this be a requirement in view
of the civil service laws, which make men,
women and children TO know something be-
yond the mere body Ct politics. He added,
that Malone Is in 10 sense a representative
OF republican sentiment in the South. Ma
hone, he said, defeated the entire electoral
ticket in Virginia to carry out a personal
policy. Thirteen hundred and fifty ight
votes, he said, were all we really bad to over
come of the electoral ticket. Our vote
throughout the State was increased, but ia.
stead OF six representatives, as now, We
elected but two II has been noticeable, be
said that the gubernatorial year is the period
when Malone seems not to like South
western man. To make one too prominent
might by possibility book him for governor.
Four years ago it was just as it is now.
Then, toe, be said, without New York, it
was possible to keep America republican.
Malone did all in his power to defeat that
result. 1t may not be forgotten, ne said,
that Mahone called on Blaine ct Phiedel
phia and it may not be expected that
Blaine and Malone should be members OF
the same cabinet family.

The NEW YORK Sum- whose editor Is one
of the wisest men 10 the country. no matter
what else may be said of him, speaks as fol
lows on the subject Of on educational quail
fcation for suffrage:
"But the essential weakness of argument
shown By the advocates OF an educallona
qualification is the assumption that pohtl
cal morality, or morality of any other sind
depends upon education. Every man
knowledge of the world will tell him the
contrary. Education is necessary to The
lorna ion OF an accom- plshed scoundrel. II
does not of itself improve mans mora
character. To suppose that the simplest
educational qualification, the ability to read
and write, will make its possessor less In
clined to pecunsrg dishonesty, less unWili'
ing to sell his vote, is to suppose sell
evident absurdiiy. Men are not purified by
leaning to make pothooks or do sums IN
the rule of three; and politics is not to be
purified By primary schools"
Tointelligsnt people, every word OF this is as
true as gospei and the fact that it il, tends
in no small degree toincrease the ad mirers
of LORD Berkeley, one of the colonial gov
ernors Of Virginia, whose famous expression
regarding free schools in his colony ia 80 we'll
remembered.
