Senator Pasco has been at some
pains to collect statistics of all the
States to ascertain whether the facts
point to q suppression of votes any
where. He finds that in 1883 there
were in the whole United States A.
III, 48T persons of voting age who
did not vote. Of these 1854, 142 were
IN Democratic Statesan 2, $685. in
Republican States. The number of
persons not voting for Representa-
tises were in New England 1857 to
each Representative, in the South 15,-
$50. Can it be that voters are MUIR
dered, driven from the polls and
intimidated in Massachusetts to q
greater extent than in the South ?
The facts seem to say SO, providing
not voting is proof of election crimes
that require force bill. Senator
Hoar says, however, in effect, that
not voting is proof OF crime in the
South, but not in New England. He
is guided by knowledge in judging
New England and by malice and
partisan bigotry in judging the
South. That accounts for his une-
quail conclusions.

the prosperity it has brought. Let

that the New Year that begins to-day
will bring no more than its average
Of human vicissitudes.
Standing at the portals, the en-
trance of which is illuminated by the
dawn Of a New Year, we pause for a
moment, that we may learn wisdom
from the past, and resolve to be more
Arm in the future, promising our.
aelves.to ignore the wooing smiles of
evil We realize that no fellowship
can be consistently had with the un
huitfua work of darkness, and how
anwise it is to coquette in any form
with the seductive pleasures OF the
world in its enmity to all that is good,
pure and true. If the experience OF
the past is not lost upon US, we will
BOOK well to. where we stand, and

the woman suffrage question will be re-

this session.

Osborn, cold So" which was Senator Mob
ler's bill allowing the court TO set aside
sheriffs sales for inadequacy of considera-

special order for April |. 1t Is said that
Judge Doster was really the author Of this
bill, which, if passed, might lead TO end
less litigation. At any rate, investors
feared the effect of the bill; borrowers
feared its effects. and, after passing the
bill and sending the same TO the house, tie
senate recalled the bill, and il is now
very dead bill, as the legislature will not
be in session on April l. Each day the SEN

the passing Of any financial legislation,

Indeed, this matter of financial legislation
has been made the subject of senate

Yet for a moment neither spoke, save in low

They laid them down again, and in their dreams
