Plantations at the present day are con-
Quoted very differently from tho way they
were managed under TIE old regime. The

about $50 acres for his own planting ana
rents out the remainder To small farmers,
who give him so many pounds or bales OF
cotton for the rent, i'll proportion to the

suffrage. Thoughtful men have viewed
with alarm the political Indifference among
certain classes of men, seeing as they have,
the great addition of power which is thus
placed 10 the hands of the lower elements
of society. The advocates of compulsory
voting have yearly become more numerous,
and there is reason to believe that in the
not far distant future, some law similar to
the one now in force in Belgium, making it
obligatory upon all citizens, with sufficient
health, to express themselves at the polls,
will be adopted.

Considerable Interest conferred this year
in the Belgium elections from the fact that
it was the first time for universal suffrage
to go into effect in that country, and also
the initial test of the law for compulsory
voting. There are great many people in
the United States and many prominent
journals advocating today the adoption Of
this same system in our own country.
There are many reasons to be urged in its
favor. We believe that the intelligent cit
izen, who has had the benefits of edu-
cation and who enjoys the advantages of
our Republican form of government, and
yet refuses to perform the duties of CITIZEN
ship, is more of an enemy to the peace and
prosperity of the republic than the ignorant

such charge could ever be brought against
such a simon pure Ieformer, one, 10 fact,
who has made reform the business of her
life. Strange as it seems, however, this
very thing has come to pass. Mr.. I. l..
Dixon and wife, the superintendent and
matron of the state asylum for the deaf and
dumb at Olathe, have male aft lavit that
Mrs. Lease advised them to steal from the
state and divide their populations with her.
She told them that in these halcyon days of
Popuhstic reformers reform" ideas were
in the saddle and all officials, from Cover
nor Llewellyn down, were engaged in this
sort of jobbery at the expense of the peo-
pie. she thought it would be wise for Mr..
and Mrs. Dixon, so. they claim, to take
money enough to buy themselves a good
farm; but, under no circumstances, were
they to omit to purchase one also for the
benefit of Sister Lease. 1t looks as if
this silver tongued orator had at length
fallen a complete victim to Populistic
cupidity and dishonesty.

The Belgium system of voting in one re-
spect, at least, is entirely unique. Every
male citizen over % years Of age, who is
not pauper, has one vote. IL he is over
80 years of age, is married or a widcwer,
has children, and pays the dollar year in
habited house tax, he has two votes. If he
has university degree, or certain other
qualifications, he has three votes. This
tabulated scale of suffrage appears to have
been devised to keep the balance of power
in the hands of the discreet and intelligent
portions of the community.

For the Boston Evening Transcript
Ia Lies fair day, when Fortune smiles,
And Pleasures cup the hour beguiles,
And worldly praise with iattery blends,
Think not thy hand hath grasped afriend's.
But when thou seest with aching hearts
Joy after Joy in life depart,
The world grow dark and friend: grow cold,
If friendship then in clasp doth hold.
Thy hand to help thee bear thy pain
And win thy fortunes bacs again,
If vaity walk by thy side,
And back to hope thy footsteps guide,
'Twere well that agony to bear,
nv fate with such comrade share,
For rare, indeed, love whose power
More closely shields in sorrows hour.
SO much is centered in that name
So oft the worlds imposters claim;
A fri nd's true hand friends will grasp
Til hands grow cold in friendship clasp.
