The legislation which I have suggested,
it is sincerely believed, will promote the
peace and honor of the country and the
prosperity and security of the people. 1

BURLINGTON ROUTE!
CheaDL

Along the lines Of the BURLINGTON ROUTE
in Nebraska, Colorado Wyoming and northwest
ern Kansas, particularly on its new extension in
that territory there IS still some Government
land awaiting settlement as well as other cheap
lane held by individuals. These lands are among
the hest to be had anywhere in the country for
agricultural and grazing purposes. In the com.
paratiyely new districts are many improved
farms which can purchased at avery low reteof
that class restless piOneerseulerswh who are ready
at all times TO move farther west" In the terri
tory embraced by the BURLINGION'S lines
west OF the Missouri River, there are in the vi
Cinity of two hundred new towns which offer 10
manufacturers and business men an excellent op.
portunity TO locate with profit send TO the un-

are, by various devices, deprived of many
of their civil rights. The wrong does not
expend itself upon those whose votes are
suppressed. Every constituency in the
land is Wronged It bas been the hope
of every patriot that q sense of justice and
respect for the law would work a gradual
cure OF these fragrant evils. Surely no one
supposes that the present can be accepted
as permanent condition. Il 1t II ls said
that these communities must work ont this
problem for themselves we have right 10
ask whether they are at work upon it Do
they suggest any solution when and under
what conditions is the black man to have
free ballot? When is he, in fact, to have
those fall civil rights which have so long
been his in law? When is that equality
of influence which our form of government
was intended to secure TO the electors OF
the restored Union? This generation
should courageOusly face these grave ques-
tons, and not leave them as heritage Of
woe to the next. The consultation should
proceed with candOr, calmness and great
patience; upon the lines of justice and
humanity, not of prejudice and cruelty.
No question in our country can be at rest
except upon the firm base Of justice and OF
the law. l earnestly invoke the attention
of Congress to the consideration of such
measures within it's we'll defined constltu-
tiOnal powers as will secure to all our peo-
pie free exercise of the right of suffrage
and every other civil right under the con-
stitutiOn and laws of the United States.
RENJANfIN IS IRONTCAL
No evil however deplornble, can justify
the assumption, either on the part of the
executive or of Congress, of powers not
granted; but both will be highly blam-
able if all the powers granted are not
wisely but firmly used TO correct these
evils. The power to take the whole direc-
tiOn and control of the election of the
members of the House of Representatives
is clearly given to the general government
A partial and qualified supervision of
these elections is now provided for by law,
and in my opinion this law
may be 60 strengthened and ex-
tended as to secure, on the whole,
better results than can be attained by a
law taking all the processes of such elec.
ton into Federal control. The colored
man should be protected in all of his rela
tions to the Federal Government, whether
as litigant, Juror or witness in our courts,
SIS an electOr for members Of Congress, or
as peaceful traveller upon our Interstate
railways.

THE WAR TAX IS RESPONSIBLE.

Inere Is nothing more Justly humlliat-
ing to the national pride, and nothing
more hurtful to the national prosperity,
than the inferiority Of cur merchant ma
riue compared with that of other nations
whose general resources, wealth and sea-
coast lines do not suggest any reason for
their supremacy on the sea. 1t was not
always 80, and our people are agreed, l
think, that it shall not continue to be
so. Il is not possible in this cOmmunica-
tion to discuss the causes Of the decadence
Of shipping interests or the differing meth
DDS by which it is proposed to restore
them. The statement Of a few Well-au-
thenticated facts and some suggestions as
to legislation is all that is practicable.
That the great steamship lines sailing IN
der the flags Of England, France Germany,
Spain and Italy, and engaged in foreign
commerce, were promoted and have since
been and are now literally aided by grants
Of public money in one form or another,
is generally known. That the American
lines or steamship have been abandoned
by US TO an unequal contest with aided
lines of other nations until they have been
withdrawn, or in the few cases where they
are still maintained ara subject TO serious
disadvantages, is q matter Of common
knowledge. The present situation
is such that travellers and merchants
find Liverpool often an necessary In
termediate port between New York
and some of the South American capitals.
The fact that some of the delegates from
South American States to the conference of
American Nations now in session at Wash
ington reached our shores by reversing that
line of travel, is very conclusive of the need
of such a conference, and very suggestive
ss to the first and most necessary step In
the direction of fuller and more beneficial
intercourse with nations that are now our
neighboIs upon the lines Of latitude, but
not upon the lines of established CONNER

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD,
PARIS, August 14.-The Senate Court
found Count Dillon and Henri Rochefor,
accomplices of Boulanger in felonious
attempt against the safety of the State
1t was decided by vote Of 100 to 81 that
the acts charged in the indictment
against the accused in connection with
the Presidential crisis in 1887 constituted
reasonable attempt.
Senator Campenon argued that the
charge of embezzlement against Bou-
LANCER had been proved. Leroyer, Presi-
dent of the Senate, and Senator Margarine
argued that the Court was incompetent
to try Boulanger on the charge of missp-
preparation of funds; that the charge
must be referred to court-martial.
The Court found Boulanger guilty on
the charge of embezzling public funds,
and refused to allow that there were ex-
tenuating circumstances. The Court
then sentenced Boulanger, Dillon and
Rochefort to be deported to fortified
place.
After the announcement of the SEN
tence tha Court adjourned in order to
frame the text of the decree of sentence,
which will be voted upon in secret ses-
sion and read at a public sitting. The
Republican groups of the Senate adopted
resolutions requesting the Government
to enforce the decree after the Court has
dissolved; calling attention to the grav.
ity of the absence of some of the minis
ters, and demanding steps to be taken
against all of the officials implicated in
the case.

BERLIN, August 14.-Emperor William
and the Emperor of Austria left Berlin
this morning for Spandau, where sham
fight took place. One side used the new
smokeless powder; the other the old.
style powder. The contrast was strik-

called the officers together and criticized
the operations. The Emperors lunched
in tent on the field and returned to
Berlin.
Ali the accounts of the experiments

smoke was visible at a distance of 300
