About Elections and Voters.

We are very highly gratihed to know that
the municipal authorities are doing all that
cen 10 done to prevent fraudulent practices
In the elections. District Attorney NICoLh

tendent BYRNEs has given him the aid OF an
expert body Of police; the Grand Jury has
brought In indictments against all persons
charged with false registration. or with
sbetting 1t; warrants for the arrest Of these
persons are in the hands Of the officers Of
the law: and 1t has been made evident by
the action Of the Court Of General Sessions
In cases before 1t. that there Ia to be no
trihing with offenders against the election
laws Of New York.
Good for the municipal authorities! Good
for local politics
ALI the men who are parties to fraud in
the elections. either at the registration
Offices or at the polls. deserve to be- and
We trust will DO. subjected to the severest
penalty that is provided by law for the
offence. They are worse than ordinary
felons. They are public enemies. They are
enemies OF the State. conspirators against
the Government. traitors to the country.
We trust that every one of them will be
arrested and punished in way that will
prevent him from ever repeating his crime,
and that will serve as warning to other
men OF the kind. They must not be toler-
ated In New York.
Some Of our Republican and Mugwump
contemporaries are trying to raise hula
baloo beeause the naturalization ma
chine" 10 very active here at this time. as
active as 1t always Is before elections. We
arc glad TO know Of the activity Of this
machine. 1t Is a lawful and glorious
machine. 1t IL one OF the greatest and
best pieces OF American political mechan-
ism that ever were constructed. 1t trans
forms aliens into Americans. The Mug
wumps do not like 1t. They complain that
multitude of Italians. Jews. and other
foreigners are hurrying to get out their
naturalization papers in order that they
may vote at the coming elections. and thus
may exercise the grandest Of all the rights
Of American citizenship. We arc glad to
hear II. We desire that every foreigner
who has come to this country with the
intention OF staying in it. aud who is duly
qualified for naturalization. whether he
be an Italian. German. Jew. a
6lav. or an Irishman. shall become an
American citizen just as soon as he can
DO such according to law. We urge all
unnaturalized foreigners living among US
to apply for their first papers the very day
they are entitled to them. and to be sure
that they do not neglect to take out their
final papers as soon as the court Is empow-
cred to issue them. II they do not want to
become American citizens. We do not want
them to stay in the United States. No

They urge men who are not voters to Sc

We want no illegal registration. no fraud

Let all citizens vote at every election.
Let all residents who are not yet fully

vote. and thus exercise their proper intiu-

Let us all defend the free institutions Of

Woman Suffrage Unconstitutional In Mich
From hs Chica2o Herald.

Prom The Chioa2o H-ruL
The Supreme Court Of the State OF Michigan
has decided unanimously that the act of the
Legislature comforting municipal suffrage on
women is unconstitutional The argument
upon which this decision s reached is that the
qualifications Of electors must be uniform
throughout the State. and that wherever the
Constitution has prescribed these they cannot
be added to or taken from by the Legislature
AS tho Constitution provides that only male
citizens are entitled to vote. the court holds
that the Legislature does not contain power to
confer the elective franchise upon other per.
soma This. it is maintained. can be done only
by an amendment to the Constitution itself.
This is the logic upon which Congressional
suffrage has been denied to women when
In either the argument or the conclusion
reached by the Supreme Court Of Michigan.
Courts have been uniformly disposed to main
tain that constitutions are exclusive. That in
to say. the Federal Government possesses no
powers except those which are distinctly and
agreed to in behalf Of the States. and hi bV ans

A woman again. We learn that the
prompter OF the recent revolution in the
republic Of Guatemala. through which a
dictatorship has been set up was an am
bilious woman. the American wife Of Gen.
BARRIos. . lady whose name is not I'M
known In New York. The enemies OF BAR
RIOS In Guatemala declare that 1t was she
who induced him to proclaim himself die
tator and who is the author OF the arbitrary
policy under which the country Is ruled at
this time. and under which the Deputies are
kent In prison. snd the army 10 held ready for
action. and suspected persons are banished.
and the people are compelled to keep as quiet
as they can. The enemies OF BARRros say that
he has neither tho pluck nor the brains needed
for dictator and that he is merely tho tool OF
the determined American woman whom he
took to wife.
She may yet rue the day in which she con-
ceiyed the dictatorship. The anti-BARRIos
Guatemalians are aroused against her. They
denounce her in whispers. They condemn
her in placards which are stuck up in the
night time on the dead walls and fences of
the city Of Guatemala la Nueva. They get out
circulars which are surreptitiously printed
and secretly distributed. in which she is char
acterized as an American interloper" There
is no doubt that she Is In danger. II tho Con-
sdtutionalists who are lurking around the

cannot say that she will not suffer as hard a

upon others. We IRE surprised at her course.

cratic freedom and republican institutions

"a simple calculation will show that with the small

sharp quarrel between the French workmen

10 still an open question. but they were
all driven out OF Aigues- Mortes. and
the intelligent Mayor Of that small but
historic place distinguished himself by
issuing proclamation. equally patriotic and
bombastic. in which he commended his fellow

foreign competition and injustice. The Ital-

Chinese Foot Binding.

The evils of foot bnding-as indeed the
evils of anything that interferes with the
natural development of what God pro-
nounced good-coulG not perhaps be eX
aggerated, hut the pain connected with it
might be, and perhaps has been. There is
pain, great pain when the feet are first
bound. But if we judge from what we see
about us every day-namely, little girls at
play, and little begl;ar girls running after
Us on the street begging for a cash-for the
beggarS bind their feet-we are compelled
to say that it looks as if the pain connected
with it is not severe. 1t is perhaps some
what similar to that connected with the
strengthening of II club foot, and as the
bandages are not taken off at night there
is perhaps not much more pain suffered
from it during whole lifetime than that
suffered by our ladies who wear tight shoes
While we would not exaggerate the pains
of foot binding, it is only just to say that
nothing can be said in its favor 1t No
doubt adds to the woman's beauty in the
eyes of the Chinese, for it is an all but uni
vcrsal custom, but it takes away all her
grace of movement and much of her useful
ness. She is compelled to walk on her
heels, her knees being entirely stiff. 1t i'm
pairs her usefulness especially among the
country people, for she helps to plant and
harvest the grain; but as u mother which
is her principal business, it matters little
whether She can walk or not. Indeel

each side of them to support them, though
this is the result Of fashion as much as of

Dress of Trench Babies.

For the first six months babies in France
are not so lovable as those of America Not
that they are less pink and white: that
their eyes have less of the heavenly blue,
and that their tiny fingers are less tapering
and rosy, but all these beauty spots are not
set of by dress Most of the French still
wrap their babes in swaddling bands and
cover their heads with homely skull caps.
Have you seen Dagnan- Bouveret's Ma
donna" standing in II sunlit, blooming
grove holding her babe in her arm,g
Only that great artist could make the
babe interesting, for this one, Ike French
babies, is wrapped up in coarse linens and
iiannels, tucked up like mummy 1t seems
cruel to stretch their little limbs, render
them immOvable with frightened bands and
pack their little bodies and feet as if the
whole bundle was to be sent back forthwith
to heaven with fragile" written on the
back. Nothing is left Of the precious baby
to smile to and to kiss but the small tip of
an excuse for Il nose and the rosy taperng
bits of fingers.
Over the torturing bands and clothes the
well to do put lace skirts and dresses, but
naturally the flowing effect is lost and the
little face looks more packed up than ever,
when the thick, plain skull cap is topped
with fancy lace one. Babies dresses, too,
are not made as long as in America. and as
soon rs the swaddling bands are taken Off
the tots are put in short clothes. French
mammas seem to be afraid of fresh air for
their babies, for they never have them wear
low necked dresses with short sleeves.
If by chance there is II low cut dress in
the layette, they put on guimpe, so as to
have baby's delicate skin under cover.
