UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
Eiisabsth l,urrlll Curtis.

1t is often said, b. the opponents OF
woman suffrage, that we have already
too large number Of voters, and that
government by limited suffrage would
show much better results. wonder
whether such penpic realize what they
arc saying--whether they know that
they are announcing that, in their
opinion, government OF, for, and by
the people, ia impossible, and that our
ideal has been placed too high for our
attainment
Universal suffrage, to mo, means the
right OF every man and woman who is
mentally able TO do so, and who has
not forfeited the right BY an III use Of
it, to say who shall rule them, and
what action shall be taken by those
rulers upon questions OF moment.
Who has not forfeited the right, |
say, for tho right can be forfeited as
can that to liberty or TO almost any
other so-called "natural right - In old
English common law high treason is
partly defined as giving aid and com
fort to the Kings epemios. With us,
whore tho people have taken the place
Of the King, there can be no such aid
and comfort given to their enemies as
through any, attempt % dehauch the
| suffrage.
The democratic principle demands the
| life diBfranchisement Of any ono con-
yicted of giving or receiving a hribe to
influence the result of an election.
Tho right Of n man or a woman to self
government is 80 vital, so sacred, that
tRmperns with it cannot bo visited
With too heavy penalties,
The saying that eternal vigilance is
the price II liberty is AS true to-day as
| 1t rvRr was, but we are not willing 10
pay that price, and therefore the dis.
staasiul condition Of affairs in our
cities ls what ii is 10 lay. But tho
fault is nat primarily with the ignorant
masses, it lies with the intelligent
yaters, the men who would bo lsaders,
but who have wilfully diserowned
themselves, rnd then cry out for a
limited suffrage, or in other words, for
| tnc haaetits of democratic govern
ment without its necessary duties.
IL has never, TO my knowledge, been
| suggested that people' government
could be carried or without work ot
without great deal az sacrifice. The
| principle OF universal suffrage, like
every other high ideal, will not run
alone. Ii carries duties with it. duties
which are imperative, and TO shirk
which is tilching benefits without rem,
doring an equivalent. When ono hears
men deliberately avowing that theii
private interests will suffer il they per,
form their public duties, or womer

came before the Judge OF the probate
court Register Il, 4, Cooper. Eminent
counsel were engaged IN the case and
IL attracted great interest.
The trial lasted 35 days and the
testimony covered l,I50 pages Of type
written matter. Judge Cooper, 10 an
elaborate opinion, eustalned the dis
puted codicis. deciding that Harris
was competent TO transact bis ordinary
business affairs and ordered tho pro-
bate OF tho will and codicils. An ap-
peal was taken from the decision OF
the probate court and II was expected to
come up for review before the present
court.
The case, however, was amirahly
settled at noon to-day. Butler, Clark,

Middletown, April 27.--Leonard L.
Tuttle, a Single Taxer, was arrested
here Saturday night, while delivering
an address in the public square. lie

leased almost Immediately.
Tho statement made by the Single
Tax advocates that Mr.. Tuttle was ar
rested merely for speaking on the
Streets" is not altogether true. The
Single Takers, instead of hiring hall,
or even securing permission for tho
use of lot, invariably make use of
tho square in the heart of tho town or
ono Of the corners adjoining to. make
their campaign speeches, and Satur
day nights, whom the town is always
crowded, they experience no trouble in
securing an audience.
These gatherings very often seriously
Interfere with travel, not only in the

and tho Town Council objects to such
proceedings most emphatically. Tho
| authorities do not oject to the Single
Takers having meetings as often as they
please, but they emphaticallv object to
| tho crowds which they gather around
them in the public square and on the
corners
Tho stories circulated by the followers
of Henry George regarding their treat
ment in Middletown are meant to con
| yey the impression that the town
authorities deny them the right Of free
| speech, but such is not tho fact. When
| they como to Middletown and hold
