THE STREET CONSPIRACY.

A local article in Fridays CALL exposed
the conspiracy to cover certain streets in
the Western Addition with the poultice. 1t
appears that the conspiracy included sew
eral blocks upon which no buildings have
as yet been erected. The streets have re-
Gently been macadamized, but sewers and
gas and water pipes have not yet been laid
OF all kinds of pavement the poultice is that
mos. seriously injured by the displacement
necessary to construct sewers and lay pipes.
Basalt blocks or macadam may be replaced
so that the pavement will be as good as
new, but the poultice is of little use as a
pavement after trench has once been dug
through1t. However, as the pOulttce only
lasts about three years at best, there might
not be much loss to property holders within
that period of time. While the conspiracy
did not apparently originate in the Street
Department, it found ready aid there
Clerks in the department who are drawing
salaries from the city helped it along. The
Street Committee Of the Supervisors acted
upon the suggestion of the Street Depart
ment. The property holders thus were at
tackled in their own household. The Stock
Report was one of the principal bench
Charles if not one of tie cOnspirators. When
that piratical sheet is knocked out by THE
CALL, as often happens, it tells its few
readers how old The CALLS press is. We
may therefore expect an instaIlment Of in
formation OF this nature.

BECOMING STRAINED.

A dispatch from Berlin dated August 18th,
says that Count Won Munster, the German
ambassador to Paris, has been instructed to
ascertain the origin Of story published in
a French newspaper accusing the Kaiser Of
having killed a Lieutenant on the Hohen-
zollern. Chancellor Capriyi considers this
statement, coming from responsible paper,
too serious TO be ignored. Later dispatches,
while intimating that the accident from
which the kaiseris suffering was not wholly
an accident, have not intimated that the nu-
merOus reports concerning it were TO be
made the subject of diplomatic correspond
ence. Chancellor Caprvi may have con-
cluded that the present is not good time TO
require the French Government TO apologize
for newspaper. The result of demand
for an apology which was not complied
with would be the cessation of diplomatic
relations. the first step OF which would be
to hand the French ambassador at Berlin
his passports. Although this action would
not necessarily lead to war it would infiu-
eDce the public mind in both countries.

A CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW.
Arrangements Discussed by the State
Floral Society.


Arrangements Discussed by the State
Floral Society.
The State Floral Society held its monthly
meeting in the rooms of the State Board of
Horticulture, go Suffer street, yesterday
afternoon, Professor L. j. Wickson preSd-
ing.
The attendance was SO large that the
capacity of the rooms was tested to the ut
most, and all of those present seemed to
take deep interest in the somewhat techni-
cal papers and discussions and il the eX-
hbits spread out for the inspection of the
members.
The most striking of the exhibits were
several specimens of ferns which, beaut-
fully mounted on strip of canvas, were
stretched across side of the room. These
had been prepared by Mrs. L. C. Hodgkins
to illustrate some extracts which she read
from an essay on Easily Grown Ferns"
and narration of Mrs Hodgkins' own eX-
perienceS in the raising of ferns, which had
been i'll direct contrast to those OF the author
OF the essay.
Following Mrs. Hodgkin paper Professor
Wicksou opened an informal discussion on
the varieties aud best means Of raising
palms.
Previous TO the reading of the papers the
committee on the collection Of special pre-
NUNS for the fall chrysanthemum show re-
ported that they had raised Sl25. Ii was
resolved to appropriate the sum to premiums
of S15 Tor pUtted plants and $50 for the best
collection OF cut chrySanthemums. Special
premiums of $50 and $50 will also be offered
for the most artistic floral decorations.

THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

An occasional contributor to THE CALI.
argues that the provision in the Constitution
of California limiting the exercise OF the
franchise to male adults is in violation of
the fifteenth amendment to the Federal
Constitution, which this correspondent says
declares that the right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any
State" AS the fourteenth amendment had,
according TO the same authority, already
declared that all persons born and natural
lied in the United States and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the
United States and of the State wherever
they reside, the conclusion Is reached that
the State of California is doing something
the Federal Constitution declares shall not
be done. There is nothing to be gained by
misQuotiDg a document so familiar to the
reading public as the Constitution of the
United States. The fifteenth amendment,
as every one knows, declares that the right
Of citizens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged son &C
count of race, color or previous condition of
serYitude." If this amendment had added
the word "seX" to other conditions named
the argument of our correspondent would
have some force. AS it does not, the amend
ment leaves the wOman-suffTage question
where it was when the amendment was
adopted. Our correspondent will also per-
ceive by glance at the fourteenth amend
ment that that amendment does not make
any reference to persons who are born and
naturalized in the United States. but to
persons who are born "or" naturaliZed.
When the Constitution is quoted 1t should
be quoted correctly. Careless quoting may
lead careless readers into error.
The Federal Constitution leaves TO the
States the determination Of the suffrage
question. with the limitation that suffrage
shall not be denied or abridged ON account
of race. color or previous condition Of SerYi-
tude. Thus we see one State imposing a
property qualification, another an ednca-
tional qualification and third making the
payment OF a tax and the ability to read
and write conditions of exercising the fran
chiSe. The only inhibition is that there
shall be no distinction on account of race,
color or previous condition of servitude.
Any State may make women voters when q
sufficient number of its voters desire to do
so 10 make the necessary changes in the
Constitution of the State. Suffrage is a
privilege rather than an inherent right and
is not conferred it is withheld. 1t is par
TALLY withheld from male adults in several
States of the Union. Il is partially con-
ferred upon women in a much larger num-
Der of States. 1t will be conferred on
women generally when women as a sex de-
sire to possess it.
