REVOLUTION WOULD FOLLOW.

Threa;ened Abolition OF Universal suf-
fragc In Germany.
NEW YORK, Oct. IA special to
The Herald from Berlin says;
The German press, which Is not quite
as quick to reflect the thoughts and
movements of the hour asaits English
and American rivals, has at hast
awakened to the fact that an attempt to
tamper with the universal suffrage sys-
tenn of the empire has been manifest Of
late in high places.
You may remember that ten days
ago or more / drew attention to this
matter in The Herald. The Berlin
Boersen Courier, Liberal organ, now
takes up the tale. It has Just discovered
that the principle Ct universal suffrage
has foes in tho empire. The Koelnische
Volks Zeitung. the mouthpiece Of the
Rhenish Catholics, gives much space to
the question In lengthy and sugges-
tive leader on the threatened abolition
of the present mode of voting The Volks
Zeitung remarks:
ut would mean nothing less than the
enslaving Of the working classes, neatly
disguised in the fashion of the nine
tenth and twentieth centuries. The
consequence would be revolution-real,
living revolution. Institutions like uni
versal suffrage may be introduced. but
once they have struck their roots in the
land they can not be abolished. Work
ingmen can never be deprived Of their
right to vote. Only the most arrant
fanatics imagine that such plans can be
executed without disturbance of the
peace."
