system 40 operation prior to the re-
enactment ofthe old law the revenue
had fallen off, they tell us, for The
reason that a certain class Of voters
paid taxes alternate years only.
There isn't one word oftruth in the
statement that increase Of revenue
Was The sole object Of this Infamous
legislation.
tits quite probable that many tax
payers take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to pay their taxes alternate
years. This is all wrong, no citizen
should be permitted to exercise the
right Of franchise whose taxes are IN
arrears. When the payment ofa tax
is made a voting qualification, right
to vote shosld belong to those only
who have paid taxes regularly, year
after year. There is no sense, rea-
son or justice in granting special
privilege of qualification to any class
Of citizens, touching their right as
electors. He who fails to pay his
tax for 1898 should not be allowed
to vote at any election in 1894, sim
ply because he carefully calculated
the date upon which he should pay
tax in 1892, so as to come within the
provisions Of the law, which gives
him the opportunity to practice a
sharp trick, to maintain his right to
a vote in 1894, in lieu of paying tax
for 1893. A delinquent taxpayer
should be required to pay all taxes
N arrears before he is granted the
privileges Of citizenship.
When Democrat asserts that the
Legislature had in view only increase
# revenue when the members voted
lpon this scheme of disfranchise-
nent, he knows it is an absolute and
peryersion of truth. Is

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company an

whereby passengers intending to go to Chi

a train al New York may reserve the requis-
ite Pullman space one month in advance of

system two weeks in advance. This arrange
ment may be made upon application to
ticket agents of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad,
who, after securing the space, will deliver a
reservation slip to the passenger. Passen-
gers thus reserviug space in advance will be
required to purchase their tickets seven days
before date of departure, otherwise the reser-
walton will be considered as forfeited.
