THE GREATER EVIL.

The question Of immigration is not
SO dangerous one to free institutions
as that of unrestricted suffrage. 1t
makes little difference, except the dan
ger FROM contagious diseases, how
many foreigners seek our shores. if
they are industrious and honest. Their
. power of doing mischief begins when
they are granted the elective franchise.
and are herded to the polls like SO
many dumb-driven cattle. Even the
Australian ballot, while it insures
secresy. is no protection against the
Ignorant voter, and he who can neither
read nor write and has not the least
knowledge Of the constitution or of the
institutions of a republic, have the
same rights under this system as the
most intelligent and one who has, spent
years IN the study of the formation of
the government. The foreigner may
have the right of domicile-of being
protected in his life and property-but
he should not have the privilege of the
elective franchise until he not only un-
derstands the politics of the country
but is in sympathy with free institu-
tions. This augurs no unfair discrim-
ination between classes, but is simply
the safeguard of self-defense which the
sovereignty of every nation has the
undoubted right to exercise. Suffrage
is not an incident of citizenship, but is
an especial favor granted by the state
to the individual. In the United
States it is restricted to persons of
certain age and sex, and the conviction
of felony, in certain states, debars the
citizen from its exercise, without the
hardship is removed by executive
clemency. In some instances there
have been property qualifications, and
IN the election of school directors in
Oregon only Taxpayers have the right
to express their choice. If the person
who has lately arrived from England
or France is not competent to act as an
elector, it would be no abridgement of
his right or contrary to international
comfy not to graft him the privilege.
He should understand that suffrage
carries with it its responsibilities and
capabilities, and until he is willing and
able to assume these he should
not desire naturalization. The same
would be true of an American citizen
if he were to sojourn in any European
country, and it would not be an in
l3stice of which any complaint could
be made. The freedom of the ballot
may be in the line of advancement in
progressive nations; bat in a govern
ment by the people and for the people
IT is the means of causing the greatest
mischief. There have emergencies
arisen in our history when the patriot
ism of the people has been the only
salvation of free institutions, and its
exercise Is impossible with an ignor-
ant class, who have no knowledge of
the government or interest in It's
perpetuity. Laws should be passed
guarding the ballot from the possession
of the alien and the ignorant, and these |
would be greater protection to the re-
public than to deny the right of domi- |
cile to foreigners.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The best joke is on the Brooklyn
Eagle, which says, speaking of the
New York banquet; "Speaker Crisp.
of the house of representatives, fol-
lowed the set speeches of the evening.
He was not down on the list to start
with. This didn't prevent prolonged
aPplausewhen he got up to have his
say. Mr.. Crisp spoke as follows"
Among the most needed legislation
to the people of Oregon Is some act
regulating the uniform appraisement of
values. and the Legislature which con-
venes iu Salem next month should not
neglect this matter. It would not
work any hardship upon taxpayers if
all property was assessed at its full
value, and the rate of taxation would
be materially lowered.
Philip D. Armour, the millionaire
of Chicago, has made himself immor-
tai, and his fame will live Oh and on
when the name of Jay Gould will be
forgotten. He has built an educational.
institution in Chicago, and endowed it
with 81 100000. This will furnish
the means OF mental training for poor
hoys and gir!s, end is one of the best
uses that cnnid be made of the money.
A Democratic exchange advises men
to put their money in banks as pro-
lection against being robbed. This is
sound sense with the excellent system
OF banking inaugurated by the Re
publican party; but if the country
were to return to the old plan of
"wild cat" state banks, as demanded
by the Chicago platform, it would sim
ply be choice of being robbed by one
or more individuals or by a chartered
corporation.
The French manipulators of Panama
canal stock were not clever in their
work, or they would not now be behind
prison bars If they had been less
eager to secure money and more care
full in concealing their operations they
would to day be enjoying the respect
of their fellow citizens, and not suffer- |
ing the disgrace of imprisonment To
the thief the Spartan virtue Of conceal
ment is Of greater Importance than the
simple mechanical act of taking what
does not belong to him.
The secretary of the treasury says
hat there is no danger of there being
my deficiency in the gold reserve, and
40 panic in this regard need be feared.
Last month, he says, the exports from
his country amounted 20 81. .000. 900.
'ut the treasury lost only $500, 900. !

libel found against him for articles
published in the paper just previous to
the recent Portland city election. The
case was tried in the Multnomah cir
cult court, and the jury were not out
ten minutes before they returned a
verdict of not guilty. There should be
a limit to journalistic criticism; but
editors should not be .amenable, where
the welfare of the community require

The Home.,ead POISONING Cases.
