the tendency of the laws to favor
the aristocratic classes is reported
from Chicago in a dispatch which
announces that Judge Prendergast
has, at the request of the million
aires, prepared a novel bill, which
will be submitted at the next regu-
lar session of the legislature. The
proposed measure provides for seri-
GUS penalties to be visited upon all
and every or any person who for
any reason shall assume the name of
an aristocratic family, The excuse
given for this proposed species of
class legislation and the reason
which suggested it is said to be On
account of the humiliation and NOR
LITIGATION experienced by the leading
families of the Windy City when
they occasionally awake some large
fine morning from their slumbers to
read in the newspapers that the
heads of their households have been
arrested for bathing in the lake, for
drunk and down, drunk
and. disorderly or for some
other pl e b elan off fen e.
Upon Investigation it is discovered
that the parties arrested, to conceal
their identity, and with a fine sense
of humor, have assumed the names
distinguished in society and com
merce. To use assumed names in
case of arrest for such misdemeanors
is common practice, and a casual
glance over the recorders docket in
every police court in the country
will show that the Joneses, the
Browns aud the Smiths figure more
than any others. Although they are
very common names they don't al
ways stand on the register to repre-
sent the peccad1llos of the genuine
Smith, Jones and Brown families.
These are the names assumed by
the heightened gentry to conceal
their identity and to keep from be-
ing disgraced before the public
when they happen 10 1all lhto the
clutches of the officers. If the
''bloods" assume the names of the
plebian stock to conceal their identi-
ty when arrested, why not the plebi-
ans assume the names of the high
toned gentry 1t is no wonder
that the bill creates great
deal of indignation among the
Smiths, the Joneses, the Browns ct
id omne.

SUFFRAGE IN MISSISSIPPI.

A constitutional convention has
been called in the state of MISSISSIPPI
pi, and the most vexing question
that will come before it will be to
devise some plan of suffrage not OBJ
noxious to the federal constitution
that will so restrain the negro vote
as to preserve white rule in the
state. Judge Campbell, of the su-
preme court, has suggested plan
that each person q years of age
and having other usual qual1fca-
tons of voter should have one
vote and also other votes in proper
ton to the amount of land owned
by him. Senator George advocates
return to municipal representation
in the legislature, by which the
cities and towns should have rep
resentation, which might be SO adj
iusted as to preserve a white demo
cratic majority in the state legisla-
ture. 1t would seem to be diff
cult matter to devise a practical
plan to deprive large majority of
voters of majority of representa-
ton; but this is being constantly
done by. the republicans of the
North. The Legislative districts in
New York and other northern states
have been so gerrymandered that it
would require a very large demo
cratic majority to gain control of
the legislature. The art of gerry
Wandering has come to be looked
on by practical politicians as a fair
exercise of party power justly de-
manded by the exigencies of party
supremacy. A gerrymander is never
looked on as revolutionary or sub
versive Of our general plan of gov
eminent. If Mississippi or any
other Southern state can preserve
white rule by gerrymandering the
Legislative districts. or by restric-
tons on the right Of suffrage that,
although they should bear hardly
on the black voter, would still be
within the constitutional limits,
there is no ground for objection by
the republicans. WHO have by every
method that ingenuity could devise
suppressed the democratic vote of
the North. No longer able to hold
their supremacy by the usual politi-
cal methods of the gerrymander and

property qualification for voters, the
republicans as dernier resort nave
concocted the federal election bill,
Force Bill that cannot be equaled in
devilish ingenuity and utter disre-
gard for the principles of our gov
eminent. With its supervisors and
returning boards who hold office by
life tenure and are appointed by a
republican administration, it is
equivalent to placing the appoint
ment of the members of the federal
house of representatives in the
hands of the republican party. This
bill is infamous: it ought never to
become law; but that it will be-
come a law who doubts, that has
witnessed the fraudulent seizure of
the presidency, or the stealing of
the Montana senatorships? If the
people of Mississippi could be in
duced to become SO far forgetful of
correct principles of government
and countermine against federal en-
croachments, they might well adopt
the general features of the election
bill now pending before the senate
of the United States, and provide by
law for a Central Board of Elections
to sit at the capital, whose duty it
should be to canvass the returns of
every election in the state where fifty
voters should demand it, and deter
mine who were elected. The action
of this board should be final in all
cases except in the election of men,
bers of the legislature, but their
certificates should be prima faci@
evidence of election, and the legisla-
ture might determine the election
and qualification of its own mem
bers. A state election law might be
passed that would make it so unnec-
essary for the negro to vote that he
would soon cease to care to exercise
the right, or if he did it would be in
the interest of some white demo
cratic friend. All state elections
should be held separate from cleo
tons for congressman and presiden-
tiai electors. The necessity of such
action is to be deplored, but the
other alternative seems to be Afri-
can domination, brought about by
republican partisanship and hate.

WAR IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

While up in this portion of the
western hemisphere we are swelter-
ing in the heat, suffering from ennui
and signing for return of the pleas
ant autumn days, the little republics
of Central America to the south of
US are enjoying little bit of excite
meut in the way of war. The ez-
element cannot be said, however, to
afford more than passing diversion
to them, as the people of that coun-
try, like Mexico, are in a chronic
state of revolution and are always
engaged in a kind of guerrilla war
fare with one another. The cause
of the war seems to be due to the
ambition of Barrillos, president of
Guatemala, and the rapid fate which
overlook President Barrios, former
president of Guatemala, whose name
is very similar in sound, promises to
be meted out to this dictator. Some
time ago an alliance was formed be-
tween Guatemala and Honduras for
the purpose of forming confederacy
between themselves and the other
three Central American states-San
Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa RIGA.
A meeting of the representatives of
the first two states and San Salvador
was to be held on the Goth of next
month at the capital Of San Salvador
according to previous arrangements
to prepare for the Central American
Union, which was to have gone in
effect September Is next. The meet
ing to have been held August 20 is
said to have been in furtherance of
cheme to give the supremacy of
the contemplated five states fedora
ton to Guatemala and Honduras
Salvador (by the treachery of its
dead president, Menendez, who was
poisoned at recent banquet) and
Nicaragua and Costa RIGA to be mere
makeweights in the new union.
The overbearing conduct of General
Ezeta, who assumed control of the
Guatemalan government as military
dictator on the death of MeBendez, is
said to have been very distasteful to
Barillos, and, coupled with the dec
laration of Nicaragua and Costa RIGA
that nothing on earth will ever
whip them into the union, has
precipitated matters somewhat. Dis
patches come from the City of Mex
leo to the effect that war between
Guatemala and Salvador has actually
begun. The first battle was fought
on Salvadorean soil and resulted in
the vanquishment of the Guatemalan
forces, which were thought to have
been invincible. No detailed ac-
counts have been received, and dis
patches from Europe discredit and
deny in toto the reports of hostilities
which were sent out from the City
of Mexico.

THE PENSION LoOTERs.

+ The New York Herald has for
many years enjoyed the. distinction
of being a political weathercock. Its
position on any important question
is not easily determined beforehand
and after it has assumed a position
there has been no certainty that it
would maintain it. On this account
the Herald's opinions usually carry
very little weight and very little i'm
portance is attached to what it says.
The only thing which it has been
steadily consistent about is its in
consistency. There are, however,
exceptions to all rules, and there is
one strong point in the Herald's
favor IN the steadfast, convincing
and telling manner in which it has
waged war on the Praetorian bands
and their friends and the hungry
hordes of leeches and pension attor-
neys who are after the commission
in their assault upon the United
States treasury. In denouncipg the
gigantic schemes to rob the national
golfers in order to bride the bum
mers and deserters of the army and
to keep them in line to vote the re-
publican ticket, the Herald has
shown over and over again that pen
sions are costing the United States a
great deal more than the late war,
and that the standing army of Ger
many is far less a burden to that
country than the republican grand
army. of pension bummers and de-
serters is to this. The Wheeling,
West Virginia, Intelligencer gets out
of patience with this astounding
statement of figures and tries to dis
miss the subject with the retort ;
"Well, Mr.. Herald: what of it? Did
the German army ever save the
union of these states?" To which the
Herald replies:
No! But the German army has
fought three wars since 1864, has
defeated powerful military empires
and made Germany united nation.
This was as great an achievement.
from German point of view, as the
preservation of the Union from ours.
The Germans, when their work was
done, went home-good soldiers,
becoming good citizens. The Ameri
cans did the same thing. Those
who deserved pensions received
them. Grant estimated the sum
necessary at S27,O0O,O00 annually
A little later Garfield, nth apologies
and regrets, raised the amount to
S38,OO0,OO0 The pension agents
and protectionists put their heads
together, and as soon as Grant Vas
out of the way rushed the annual
sum up to S100,000,000, the CRY
being still for more! If the Germans
can unity and in measure create q
nation without heroes becoming
mendicants may we not expect as
much from Americans
Reckless pension extravaganza
and the infamous partisan force bill
ought eternally to damn any politi
cal party.

WILL IT PASS =?

That the political news telegraph
ed from Washington by the news
paper correspondents seldom repre-
sents more than the political bias,
or, at most, the individual and pri-
vate opinion of theg correspondent,
is abundantly illustrated in the con
Aicting dispatches sent out from the
national capital with reference to
the pending federal election bill.
The Galveston News announced in
flaming headlines on Sunday that
the last vestage of hope of the DEM
ocratic opponents of the Infamous
measure had about sunken deep
down in their hearts and that its
passage might as well be considered
as a foregone conclusion. On the
other hand, the Fort Worth Gazette
of the same date published dis
patch from its special correspondent
! to the effect that the democrats were
taking fresh courage and that the
prospects for the failure of passage
of the Ubiquitous bill we're growing
brighter. The indications are that
the Gazete's correspondent came
nearer sizing up the situation cor
rectly than the News. The New
Orleans Times-Democrat in a lucid
editorial presents some strong and
hopeful reasons for believing that
the bill will not become law. 1t
quotes from the Philadelphia Record
to show that tue proposed measure
is much more obnoxious than the
celebrated Force Bill which was at
tempted to be foisted on the South
ern people fifteen years ago and
which was defeated by the votes of
republicans, of whom there are three
-Messrs. Hoar and Dawes, of
Massachusetts,, and General Hawley,
of Connecticut-who are members
of the senate. Even supposing that
Hoar does not possess the virtue of
consistency, it is thought he will OPP
pose the bill because he is jealous
of Lodge, its author, who halls from
the same state and who anticipated
Hoar, the latter having prepared an
election bill himself. 1t is thought
he will vote against the bill in order
to introduce his own. Senator Haw-
ley in his paper, the Hartford Cour-
ant, pronounces the bill in strong
language ga contemplated violation
of the rights of states to hold their
elections as they please" and he
may be safely counted on to vote
against the measure. The Times
Democrat says that there are eight
other republican senator's who have
in express terms declared that they
will not under any circumstance
support the measure. 1t is further
claimed that Secretary Blaine and
Secretary Window are using what
ever influence they possess with in
dividual senators to induce them to
join the opposition in seeking to de-
feat the bill. The I'D concludes !:
But the healthiest sign of all is
that the caucus which has been
caucusing two or three times every
week for a month has been COM
pletely unable to either agree as to
the proper method of handling the
bill in the senate, or to obtain ma
jority who will pledge themselves to
stand by it as bodyguard on its
passage through that branch of con-
gress. That inability of the caucus
indicates pretty clearly, we think,
that the bill is doomed-for this
session at least.
