is plaintiff in the present case. He is
married now, and Adeline wants salts

a neat brown dress, over which she
wore handsome sealskin jacket
While toying wi b what she said was the
engagement ring given 10 her by Mr..
Jason, she was called to the witness
chair by her counsel Senator NJ. 4
Barret, in his familiar fashion:
Come now, baby, tell these gentle
men your story
Miss Brown said that Mr. Jason had
gone so far as to fix the date of their

studied at the Cleary Business College

THE Nyssen bill, passed under duress
Of mob, by tho Belgian Chamber Of
Deputies, has allayed the agitation and
dispersed the mob but it may not have
brought the permanent peace that its
advocates hope. Il is a novel scheme
Of plural or cumulative voting which
confers a vote on every male citizen aged
% years, who has resided at least one
year in the same commune and has never
been convicted of breach Of the law.
The bill also confers an additional vote
on every male citizen aged 30 years, and
either married or widower. paying a
government tax Of at least Eve francs in
amount, unless exempted from the tax
on account of his profession: upon every
male citizen aged 25 years, who is an
owner Of real estate Of the value Of at
least two thousand francs. or who has
been inscribed for al least two years on
the ledger Of the public debt or in the
stock book of bank for savings as the
possessor Of at least one hundred francs
Ia Belgian rentes, and upon every male
citizen aged 25 years who rs the
bearer Of diploma Of superior ed
ucation or has flled a public Office
It seems from the experience aud the
tendency Of thought in this country that
these changes in the scheme Of popular
suffrage are not so wise or so popular as
that of comforting thu privilege on
women. In this country the common
Judgment of the wisest statesman is
that the men have too many votes al
ready, and that there are too many who
enjoy the privilege that they do not
value and cannot use intelligently. ANY
changes which are made in this country,
according to the present experience, are
made on the line Of excluding the ignor
antand vensl Suffrage Of the men-chiely
the negroes-on one hand; aud extend
IL by including the women on the other.

THE runner that Cleveland and Car
Isle are enjoying strained relations has
been revived. The same rumor has
served several purposes several times be.
fore and win probably serve some subtle
purpose again. 10 is stated now on the
basis Of the interview in which Cleve.
land publicly denounced nepotism.
When the sons and relatives began to
flock to Washington Mr.. Cleveland
promptly stopped the movement by
stating his views and thus admonishing
them and their friends in and
out Of office that he would not
tolerate any scandal Of the
kind in his administration. Secretary
Carlisle has a son in the Treasury. II is
suggested that this fact caused Cleve
land annoyance and induced him to
give the warning Il is not probable
that Mr.. Cleveland would condemn Mr.
Carlisles action In public, without
having first given Mr.. Carlisle an oppor
tunity to correct or explain It, even if
the President thought either correction OF
explanation necessary. There are private
and personal reasons why Mr. Carlisle's
son should be near him Doubtless
President Cleveland knows them, ap
proves them and knew beforehand that
young Carlisle was to have place
1t is not at all probable that
President Cleveland objects to
young Carlisle or that If he
did object, Secretary Carlisle would
not either dismiss his son or resign him
self II is much more probable that
there Is thorough knowledge and
thorough agreement between these two
candid and courteous men aud that
President Cleveland delivered his public
talk for the sole and exclusive benefit II
the public; and that, If he had any
criticism TO make upon Secretary Car.
Isle, he would make IL TO Secretary
Carlisle, and not to the public The
rumor Of any estrangement, then. is, In
the nature Of the case, almost absurd.
IL is certainly improbable.

REAL seLF-eovsRNMENT.

nEhL -GON GIMME
All theories, especially theories of gov
ernment, are modified by experience, in
practice In this country we have the
theory Of manhood suffrage. That
worked honestly, and Of course admir-
ably, till the party in power, fearful Of
A loss of power, included the negroes, as
freemen, who had ben excluded before
AS slaves from its privileges.
The negroes were not competent to ex-
ercise tie privilege Of suffrage Nobody
claimed that they we're competent Ex
perieDce has taught those who were
doubtful or ignorant, that the negroes,
as a class, are woefully aud dangerously
incompetent.
After trying to support the disgrace
ful governments of the Southern states,
administered by them, with United
States troops under Grant and Sheridan,
the project ended in a failure 80 com
plete. costly and disastrous that the
troops were Withdrawn. The $40, 600.
0O0 Of bonded debt they have created
was repudiated, and the expedient inaug-
urated Of preventing the negro vote from
having any effect at the polls.
In Mississippi the constitution has
been changed making an educational
test which in one district cuts the regis
tration Of negroes from about 10000 to
5000 votes.
This is brief statement to recall the
facts, familiar to every intelligent citi
zen, that the theory of manhood suffrage
has been modified in the United States,
for cause. This government was founded
on the theory of manhood suffrage; but
that theory put in practice among the
plantation negroes, whereby the bonded
debt Of Louisiana was increased from
$4,000 to $42,OOOOOO in eight years,
came near preventing any suffrage at all
We have had foretaste Of those
calamites here
During our short experiments with
this element, the Republican party has
emptied the treasury Of Sussex county
and put the werrants of that county,
which were as good as gold before, 10
and 20 per cent. below par. It has
emptied the treasures Of this city and
county and provided us with deficit in
each.
These are practical, incontrovertible
results. They show what the sell
government which Mayor Willey's
party and his hackers are advocating
in heory, means in practice.
Does anyone say that we shall
cling to the false theory of al.
legged self-government, including the
baneful Republican industry Of Negro
suffrage, with the certainty of empty
treasures and disgraceful scandal.

THE bin granting universal suffrage
IN Belgium is notable victory for the
popular and modern form OF govern
ment IL NAV not be many years till all
the constitutional governments Of the
continent will grant similar privilege;
It may not be many years thereafter till
all governments Of all kinds will be
liberalized or turned into republics. The
government directly by the people is the
most successful, as well as the most
approved development of modern
political economy. Under the
present system of distributing news
and knowledge monarchles and
despotisms must fail and fall. The
only reason Why they should not fall
now is that the people have not inteli
gence and character sufficient TO main
tain, even If they could establish, better
government. The only two nations, Of
the first class, which could maintain a
republican form Of government are
England and France. The one has be
gun hasty and turbulent attempt to
sustain popular government; the other
has limited monarchy under well de-
fined constitutional guarantees Of liberty
to the people The other powers are either
not prepared for popular government, as
in the cases Of Russia, Austria,
Turkey and Germany or incapable Of
comprehending such a form Of govern
ment. But with all that the tendency
is toward popular government. This
country exhibits such stability and
prosperity that it is standing invita-
tion to the world TO make governments
Of the people, for the people, by the
people. Belgium has followed the lead
Of Switzerland and France and taken
these United States for an example.
