UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.

SHoohchy.
Judge c w. Smith, OF the 1lth Ju-
dicial district OF Kansas, gave his opin-
ion OF Universal Suffrage IN Fourth
of July GRAFTON at Cawker City as fol
lows;
THE intelligent woman is denied
participation ia our government be-
cause she is woman. while the igno-
rant adul. is permitted to decide con-
cerniog our governmental affairs be-
cause he has the form and stature Of a
man. This illogical basis OF the suff
rage is a gre 4 and ever pre- ent mer-
ace TO the life of the Nation. There
SHOULD be a few restrictions placed on
the right of suffrage in a repub ic,
and these should be laid on the ground
OF intelligence and moral fitress for
it's exercise To place It on other
grounds is both wrong and politically
unwise.
The intelligent and moral citizens
OF republic should have an equal
voice in the affairs Of the government
by which they are u be ruled, and
without limitations or conditions than
capacity or moral fines. The suffr-
age which is conferred must be kept
pure IL the Nation is to live. 1t mean 8
national decay and dea IL any per-
son or class OF persons having e
right OF suffrage shall be COMPEL, a
either by force or fraud, or induced by
gain TO exercise this right AGAINST the
dictates OF their own Judgment or in
violHtio" of their own conscience. II
means national death for men 10 bar
ter away this right, preferment or
power, aud from all those y ko are
| willing 70 do SO, IL should be withheld
look upon the right granting and
pure exercise OF the franchise as the
sheet-anch OF free government.
When we shall realize the ideal repuh-
lic-wh n we shall rea that eondi
tion OF national life that shall live as
long as government OF any kind is a
necessity among men, the right OF
suffrage will be universal, limited
OILY by intelligence and character,
and exercised freely ano in purity,

TERRITORIAL TOPICS.

The District Clerk Of this district
has his gall with him when he in
structs his deputy at pawree TO collect
cash deposit from the county when
fling papers wherein the county is
party to the suit. This is an unheard
OF precedent. and contrary to any
statute law We thought the clerk

holo their breath long time when it
came to charging fees, but they were

Dispatch.
The Shawnee Blade, a strong Popu-
list paper, thinks there is no good
reason why any Populist should OPP
pose Judge Keaton, and urges the re-
ealcitrants TO abandon their opposi-
tion and abide the majority action OF
their party.
The Popnlists Of the Third Repre-
sentative district in Noble county have
nominated Duke Mills, when the Dem
ocrats, under the fusion agre. ment,
will a so nominate as their candidate
Those who know Mr.. Mills speak OF
his ability in the highest Bnd most
fiattering terms.
The Newkirk Republican saws that
two years ago Judge Keaton was a
gold standard Democrat" The Re
publican, of course, don't mean TO lie,
bot all the same Il did, for Judge Kea-
ton has always been an outspoken and
courageous advocate of tree coinage,
and this too long before the Demo
cratic party In national convention
at Chicago met and announced its
platform.
The Alva Pioneer W support Judge
KeAton for congress.
Word comes from all parts OF the
Territory that the people are lining
up in support Of Judge Keaton. Even
tie Republicans in many parts of the
Territory are showing no special de
sire TO see Keaton defeated by kissing
the hand Of the Repu bliesn bosses who

DMGLEF LAWS PoOR SHOWING,

DINGLET LAWS POOR SHOWTNG.
The public statement just published
by Assistant Secretary Howell Of the
receipts and expenditures of the gov
ernment is anything but fattering to
the Ding ey tariff law This statement
is for the fiscal year ending June 3oth,
and, with all the explanations that
accompany IL, it is most discouraging
showing. Stripping it Of all war ex-
penditures, the report shows that the
present tariff law, while II has greatly
increas ed the cost OF living for every
thing that enters into the consumption
OF the household, has been practically
and emphAtically non-producing
source Of revenue to the government.
As compared with the Wilson tariff /
has indeed been q stupendous failure.

WHr OKLAHOMANS PEEL UNsAFE.

WHY OhLAHOMANS FEEL UNSAfE'
That's a queer sort Of decision Of
Judge Burwell that property cannot
be assessed at more than It's actual
cash values taken in connection with
that other decision Of the supreme
court-of which Judge Burwell is a
mem bei-thAt the board OF equaliza-

board of equalization has the power
to raise the assessment of the valua-
ton OF property over that placed upon
it by the several county assessors and
equalized by the commissioners of the
several counties sitting in their eoun-
ties in their respective characters ss
county boards OF equalization.
With these apparently conflicting
opinions --one holding that the terri
torial board of equalization can raise
the assessed valuation as IL pleasee
without regard TO cash valuation SO
ass ssed against it-and the other fol
lowing right in its wake that proper y

THERE is no doubt that with all
their Shortcomings the war department
should be credited with good inten-
tions. Whatever its N stakes should be
charged TO inexperience and lack Of
judgment in a great crisis rather than
willful and delibera' e maladministra-
tsoH. By the time the eountty passes
through dozen or two Of wars like
the present the experience gained will

night near Ell Caney without fires. At

opened on the Spanish troops to the
right.
The common powder used by our
troops smoked. and was fine target for
the Spanish field battery, which was
served by Admiral Ceryera's marines.
The accuracy OF the aim was remark
able. While our smoke gave the enc
my our range, Grimes could not locate
the enemy's guns. which used smoke
less powder, except approximately. But,
satisfied as to the Spanish position, our
men worked like mad. The Spanish
fire gradually slackened, and in less
than an hour it ceased altogether.
After that only one aggressive move
was made by the Spaniards. 1t re-
suited in defeat. and they abandoned
Ell Caney. At about 10 o'clock the
enemy dashed straight for the Ameri-
can lines. In one or two places our
men fell back from their position. hut
quickly rallied and drove the enemy
back pell-mell into their own bitches.
