Early in the present century there was a
notable meeting Of kings and emperors
ut Erfurth. Princes and courtiers were
numerous. The town was illuminated.
A tragedy developing the noblest traits
of human nature was performed by tho
most accomplished actors Of France.
Emperor Alexander of Russia and Napo-
leon the Great sat side by side. As the
sentiment was expressed from the stage:

side of the State imposing that requirement.
tax necessary for voters who have not
paid other taxes. The actual effects of
the tax are far from creditable, but
it would astonish Pennsylvania, and
might perhaps be not entirely satisfactory to
Senator Dolph. to learn that Pennsylvania
representation in Congress must be reduced
for that reason. The fact that other North
ern States have had this feature in their
suffrage qualifications for years without any
challenge proves that it has always been
understood that the requirement of a
poll tax is not an abrldgmeDt of the
right of suffrage under the meaning of the
Constitution, as it does not of itself deprive
any citizen of that right
With regard to an educational qualifca-
tion under the strict letter of the Fourteenth
amendment, it might be deemed an abridge-
ment which requires reduction of repre-
sentation; but it is beyond dispute that it is
not within the intention of the amendment.
The discrimination, at which that provision
was aimed was such as is prohibited
by the Fifteenth amendment, namely,
Ton account of race, color, or previous con-
dition of servitude." While this, ofcourse,
may not be valid plea against construc-
ton founded on the strict language of the
amendment, it is to be said that it would be
extremely bad politics for any party to take
a stand on that question for any other pur-
pose than to make the provision consistent
with the establishment of such qualifca-
tions by any State. We are under the inn
preston that educational requirements have
been established by certain strongly Repub-
lican States without any question as to the
legitimacy of their representation; and it
would be very unwise act to raise the ques-
ton solely against Democratic State.
Certainly the Republican party cannot
afford to take its stand in favor of ignorance
in the suffrage of any State.

A CURIOUS BURIAL PLOT.

A Unique Place In Greenwood, Probably
Without a Counterpart.
There, sir, is where 80 old maids are buried,
all In one plot" The speaker was one of the
Greenwood:guides, and he pointed to large
plot OF ground, inclosed by an iron railing, in
which more than score of tombstones had
been reared, says the New York Mail and Ez-
press.
'Them," continues the guide. with q rare
disregard for grammatical rules, them was
al members of an old maids society. and the
whole society is buried there" AS to the
uuSh OF the statement concerning the society

further statement as TO how the women died

these three maiden ladies' for. according to the
records on their tombs. all of them lived to be
more thar 100 years old, the oldest of them all
dying at the ripe age of liz years.

more. The last OF the band of maiden ladies

HIGH BIDDING FOR LAND.

There is no doubt left that some of the
cattle companies are exceedingly anxious to
get hold OF the Cherokee strip. The United
States proposed to buy it for 100000 a
cattle company offered $40, ,0O0, 900, and then
raised its offer to $50, 600, 900; while another
cattle king comes in with a still higher
offer, expressed in the ;diom of the pralries
that he twill see the s20, 600. 600 for the strip
and 60 $4,000, 900 better" Carrying on
the figure of speech used in this offer, it is
quite possible that these offers of untold
millions are not only bluting but they are
betting wind. 1t would be interesting to
learn from the high bidders where their
thirty or thirty-fve million dollars are to
be obtained.
If this amounts to anything more than an
attempt to raise the price on the United
States and perhaps prevent the sale, it
will show that the recent talk about the de-
preston OF the ranch business has been over
done. Men do not wildly bid millions for
the sake of securing territory for business
that has been ruinous when carried on
on lands that cost the owners
luC uOW-
ever, is that these offers are nothing more
than imaginary millions. and calls upon the
bidders to put the money would take the in
flation out of the bids in very prompt
fashion.
However this may be, the United States
cannot permit any such tract to pass into
the hands of single corporation. The
price that may be offered has no Importance
beside the necessity of stopping the absorp-
tion of great tracts of lands by corporations
and capitalists, with the inevitable result in
the end of reproducing the worst evils of
landlordism. Too many great landed
estates have already been carved out of the
public lands in the West simply by the
neglect of the policy of land for the actual
cultivators, and the process cannot be per-
mitted to continue. If the Cherokees wish
to cultivate their land in severalty it would
be satisfactory policy to let them have it /;
but it should not be permitted to pass into
the control of single corporation or capi-
talist at any price.
