The Political Depravity Of the Fathers.



1t is commonly assumed in certain quar-
ters that the abuses complained of in our
state and municipal governments are pri-
marily due to the introduction of univcr-
sal suffrage, coupled with the sweeping
admission of European immigrants to
the franchise. The ideal electoral condi-
tiOns would exist. we are told provided
only those persons should lie allowed To
vote who were possessed of n free hold
estate, or had, in other words, stake in
the country, and provided moreover, in
their choice tf Office holders, they should
be restricted to voting for men of more
substance than themselves. That is to
say, q graded oligarcby would be a nearly
perfect system, under which the chance
of the upgrowth of the present forms of
alleged political corruption would be re-
duced to a minimum.
In the current number of the Atlantic
Monthly Mr.. John Bach McMaster shows
that in all the frauds and tricks that go
to make up the most obnoxious kind of
practical politics, the men who founded
our state and national governments were
our teachers and masters. This, too. al
though the graded oligarchy, constituting
the ideal electoral system above described,
existed in most of the American com
monwealths, and notably in the state of
New York up to the adoption of the
state constitution of 1921. Almost every
where the franchise was guarded not only
by property, but by strict religious quail
fications. For instance, in New England
ninety years ago a voter must have an an
nual income of three pounds or freehold
estate worth sixty pounds. In New York
seventy five years ago he must be pos
sessed of an estate valued at twenty
pounds York money, or rent house for
which he paid forty shillings annually.
In New Jersey the qualification was fifty
pound. But many man who could vote
was hopelessly debarred from ever holding
office. In New York he must have more
property that mere voter to. be eligible for
the assembly, and still more to be eligible

Mrs. Lyman Abbott Writes on the
Subject of NagGing.
A well-known physician, a student of
health as well as disease, has called out
indignant denialS by printing his opin-
ions that they do. He has done it in the
most considerate way, reminding one of
the persons who, in calling another
liar, said he did not mean it opprobri-
ously but merely stated it as fact. And
the denials are made in a fashion quite
too feminine. 1T isn't SO, and besides
there is no excuse for it, our defenders
say. Nervous irritsblity, narrowing
and bellttling sphere, the constant pres
ence of obnoxious and vexatious persons
what wonder human nature EXHIBITS
unlovely traits under these provocations?
1t will do US no harm to look this accusa-
ton fairly in the face and see whether it
be a familiar of ours, with a new and
ugly name. There is no dictionary at
hand, and | cannot verify my definition,
but suppose that what Is meant by the
word 'nagging'' is constant repetition
of petty reproof or command. 1t is a
habit which every conscientious house
keeper and every thoughtful mother is
very much in danger of weaving for her
self, and Tor fear of which many woman
''lets things 60" to the in ury of her
home and children. How often the tired
mother has picked up'' after husband
and children, or done the forgotten err
rand, rather than seem to be "nagging."
1t does fall to the lot of women to do
most of the ao-caled training of children.

city, and called "El Patriotisms," and at
the same period the mill called LA Mag
dalera' WAS built in the little town Of
Tlaipam. in the valley of Mexico. In
the beginning the development was slow,
but in the last few years the number OF
mills has increased rapidly, and at present
there are in the country ninety-eight es-
Establishments of sufficient Importance to
be properly termed cotton mills. AS
early as 1912 an experiment IN making
prints was undertak en- in Puebla. Other
attempts were made in 1860. but they led
to no permanently valuable results; in
fact. little of importance In this line was
done till 1870, and it was eight years be-
fore there began to be observed dlmln-
ution in the importation of European
prints At first the mills were esta bllshed
only in the Capital and nsighboring
towns, for the spirit Of enterprise was
found concentrated here; but in the
course OF time this spirit has extended
itself to the outlying parts of the Repub-
lie. and at present there is no part Of the
country that has not its cotton mills of
greater or less importance.
An apparently sober-minded Mexican
concludes discussion on this subject by
saying that 1--WE have immense territories
suited to the production of cotton,
which are still uncultivated, so that
1t Is possible to raise the produc-
ton OF cotton to very respectable
figure. Continual political dissensions,
the want Of means of communication.
and. above all, the practice which is fol-
lowed in the cultivation of cotton are the
things which have contributed especially
to the low state in which the cotton in
dustry has been found. We have, how
ever, to-day fortunately entered upon
new era of beneficent peace; the ways of
communication are becoming easier. cir
cumstanoes which tend to the advance
ment of the industry in question. But
there is still something wanting; the Gull
tlvators must abandon their methods, and
undertake their agricultural work in the
light of the most advanced knowledge;
they must learn new methods. and In
form themselves how to overcome the
difficulties OF this form Of cultivation.
When this happens there will unques-
tionably come an increase in the produc-
ton of lands already cultivated. and the
area of cultivation will be extended.
Then Mexico will occupy very high
place, if not the first place. among the
cotton-growing countries" This last
expression may, perhaps, involve
slight evaporation, and more or less
ignorance of the resources of Eastern
Texas. but it indicates the strong oonvic-
ton of one who has wandered over
large portion of his country for the pur-
pose Of Investigating it's resources in this
regard. BERNARD MOSES.

Bicycle Manufacture.

1t is estimated that last year 1884 over
200, 600 wheels were manufactured by the
different companies engaged in their pro-
duction. This year. with greatly in
creased facilities and improved machin-
cry, together with large increase in the
mum Der of producers, the product will
reach in the neighborhood of 100000
wheels.
What it will be next year can only be
guessed at, as this years business has been
dwarfed and held in check by positive
inability to supply the unparalleled de-
mand for wheels of every description.
New factories contemplate entering this
seductive business; additions are being
built to old factories, almost equal to the
original plant, stocked with the most
intricate and "up-to-date" machinery,
which before March, 1896, will begin to
make an impression on the trade, that
will carry the production to possible
