WE do not recall any State campaign in
which there has been raised such a how
by Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart against
the Republican party. To believe one
half said of it, it is an abomination of
desolation. and Republicans are both
thieves and slaves. But these rabid raw
lngs betoken good. We have noted that
the Republican party is stronger when 1T
is best abused. 1t has always risen equal
to any emergency of our country, and we
do not believe that it is going to fail
this year. 1t does not live upon its ira
ditions, nor ask public confidence be-
cause of its promises. 1t points to its ac-
complishments, present as well IS past,
and trusts for victory to the patriotism,
intelligence and progressiveness for
which it is, as it always has been famous.

VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT.

The first proposed amendment to the
Constitution that the voter will find at
the head of the amendment list on his
ballot next Tuesday, is that establishing
an educational qualification for voters.
1t should be stamped Eyes" on every bal
lot cast. 1t proposes that hereafter who
ever would vote in California must be
able to read the Constitution in the Eng
lish tongue, and to write his name, ex-
cept in cases where physical disability
prevents.
Why should not that be the rule? In
teliigence must underie all stability in
government; inability to read the laws or
the edicts Of the constituted authorities,
ought to be considered inability to COM
ply with the obligations OF good citizen
ship in the full and true sense. In this
day and age it is not excusable in any
man to be unable to read and to write.
The proposed amendment charitably
excepts from its operation those over
sixty years of age at the time of the adop-
ton of the new rule, and excepts also all
who now have the right to vote. The
adoption of the amendment will there
fore work no hardship upon anyone. 1t
is really applicable only to those who are
to come on as voters after this year.
To reject the proposition will be equiv
slent to saying with the voice of the peo-
pie of California that this is not pro-
gressive State. and that California prefers
an illiterate, ignorant and incompetent
citizenship, to one of intelligence and
caDacity

LORD RosEBERY, the English Premier,
is out in unmistakable English for
reformation of the Parliamentary sys-
tenn by reconstruction of the House of
Lords so as to minimize the privileges of
the nobility in that body. 1t is probably
the Premier's idea that the House of
Lords shall remain, but be remodeled so
as to make it a more representative body,
partly if not wholly elective. His open
advocacy of the reform has precipitated a
political revolution in Great Britain that
could not have been much longer delayed,
if we are to believe the reports of the
correspondents concerning the growing
sentiment of the people upon the sub

FraukIin's sound sense.

The fac-simile Of q letter written I23

IL given in the PiEtsDurg Dispatch, con-
tains especial Interest beyOnd that relic
Of al early date il tine growth Of the
nation. IL shows that the stIrewd old
philosopher whose influence in the birth
and foundation O; this nation was so
strong, had keen and strong conception
Of the importance Of developing home
Industries ana the value OF nIanufac-
lures TO the agricultural interests
adjacent
The political philosophy embraced IN
the statement, that Every manufacture
encouraged in our country makes part
Of market for provisions and saves 50
much money to the country a. must
otherwise be exported 10 pay fOr the
manufactures he supplies. stands as the
basis n tine American policy more CLEARLY
now than it did when Franklin wrote it
Of few colonies. This can be reinforced
now as then, with the fact That wher-
ever manufacture Is established. which
employs q number OF baHds. it raises
the value Of lands IN the neigbbOring
country al around il. partly by the
greater demand near at band for the
produce Of the land and partly fr0fn the
plenty Of money drawn by the raanufae-
tures to that part OF the country" This
leads up to the legitimate conclusion:
ut seems therefore the Interest Of ali
our farmers and owners Of lands to en-
courage young manufactures in prefer
ence to foreign or.es imported among us
from distant countries"
The almost prophetic understanding
which the printer. philosopher and
statesman of the Revolution had of the
factors that were to buIId q great nation
in this country was remarkable in nearly
all respects. In none Of them was Isis
cleaF common sense more apparent than
in this teFse exposition Of the national
policy Of building home manufactures
in preference to dependence on foreign
industry.
