Universal Suffrage.

Judge G. w. Smith, of the 34th Ju-
dicial district of Kansas, gave his
opinion of Universal Suffrage in a
Fourth of July oration at Cawker
City as followe:
THE Intelligent woman is denied
participation in our government be-
cause she is a woman, while the igno-
rant adult is permitted to decide con-
cerning our governmental affairs be-
cause he has the form and stature of
man. This illogical basis of the
suffrage is a great and ever-present
menace to the life of the Nation.
There should be few RESTRICT ons
placed on the right of suffrage in a
republic, and these should be laid on
the ground of Intelligence and moral
fitness for its exercise. To place it on
other grounds is both wrong and po-
litically unwise.
The intelligent and moral citizens
of a republic should have an equal
voice in the affairs of the government
by which they are to be ruled, and
without limitations or conditions than
capacity or moral fitness. The suf-
frage which is conferred must be kept
pure if tine Nation is to live. 1t means
national decay and death if any per-
son or class of persons having the
right OF suffrage shall be compelled
either by force or fraud, or induced
by gain to exercise this right against
she dictates of their own judgments or
IN violation of their own consciences.
1t means national death for men to
barter away this right, preferment or
power, and from all those who are viii
ing to do SO, it should be withheld
[ look upon the right granting and
pure exercise of the franchise as the
of free government
When we shall realize the ideal re-
public when we shall reach that con-
.ition OF national life that shall live
Us long as government of any kind is
necessity among men, the right of
suffrage is universal, limited only by
Intelligence and character, and exer.
cised freely and in purity

Numerous inquiries which have been,
received from all sections at the war
department indicate that there is still
lack of understanding as to what
will be the status of the volunteers
when suspension of hostilities is de-
clared, although the intentions of the.
administration in this regard have
been repeatedly stated.
The volunteer army will not be dis
banded, nor any part of it. That
peace is actually to be the result of
the pending negotiations cannot be alb
sOlutely known until the peace COM
mission has met and signed the terms.
Ohe president has no intention of dis
banding the volunteer army while
there is any uncertainty about the
quito ONE. Besides, there will be plen-
ty OF work for the army to do while
the peace commission is performing
its labors. Spaiu's acceptance of the
American terms make it obligatory
upon her to evacuate Cuba and Porto
Rico at the earliest possible date.
Immediate evacuation was what the
administrati on called for. With the
Spanish army withdrawn from Cuba
aud Porto Rico, large forces of Amer,
leans will be needed in those islands
to preserve order. Especially Will
this De true in the case of Cuba, where
it is estimated an army of $1,000 SOL
diers will be needed.
Gen. Skaters army, which compri-
ses nearly all of the regulars, is in no
shape for this duty and will not be
fit for service for many months. The
veterans of Santiago will be allowed
to recuperate at Montauk Point. a
liberal policy will be pursued in re-
gard to furloughs. Every meritorious
claim for a leave of absence will be
recognized. This will not only apply
to those who have been wounded at
the front. or run down in health in
consequence of the ard ors of the cam
paign, but to all those who may in the
future have any good excuse for de-
string a leave.
AS to Gen. Merrit's army, it goes
without saying that it will be needed
in the Philippines, and it will be kept
there. If the insurgents should give
any trouble while the peace negotia-
tions are pending, Gen. Merritt's
force will be increased.
The only volunteers who stand any
show of being released for some time
to come are the members of the naval
militia. The naval militia will be dis
banded as soon after Spain's note of
acceptance is received as their muster
can be accomplished.

LESSON IN PUBLIC OWNER SHIP.

Three years ago, a vote was taken
in this city On the question whether
we should issue $35, 900 in bonds anG
buy our waterworks plant. A major
ity of the votes castswere in favor OF
The proposition; but it came a few
short of the necessary two-thirds.
Since then we have been having all
sorts of trouble with our water com
pany; necessary extensions have no,
been made; the hydrant rental has not
been paid and the company is suing
the city for it; the city has seized the
works claiming non-fulfllment of con-
tract, and large sums have been spent
in analyzing the water. In short, we
have been in muddle all the time,
lire protecti on is lacking in many parts
of the city, and people who would like
the benefit of the water service are un-
able to secure it. At the same time
we voted on the purchase of the plant
| ahe city of Newton had an election on
the same issue, and the prop ositi on
| to buy and own her waterwOrks car
| ried. How city ownership worked
thereis told in the following press
| dispatch:
Newton, Kas., July 1.-THE i'm
| merse success of the waterworks plant
of Newton has done good deal here
toward furthering the idea of public
ownership The plant was huil6 lit
tie more Than year ago, mainly be-
cause the people had tired Of paying
! immense sums to the company OF east
| arn men which owned the plant Il
Vas practically worthless, but the city
| bought it up and then set to work Oh
,he finest plant in this part of the
State.
Figures OF the animal report of the
superintendent of water make some
startling showings. Under the ola
regime it was necessary to pay over
IS 900 per year for fire protection.
The past year, under the new plant
owned by the city, this has cost only
81 900, and there are a greater num-
Der of fire plugs than under the old
system.
Having been so successful with wat
er. Newton Is figuring on electric light
now, AND probably will put n plant
of its own shortly, since the present
one, like the ole waterwOrks plant. is
a very expensive luxury.
Perhaps Independence will wake up
| and join the procession of progress
ives after awhile. Two years hence
we will have another opportunity, un-
der the terms OF our contract with the
wSter company, to purchase the works
at their actual value; and by that time
the people will probably have had
enough of monkey business and be
reauy to do something soasible.-In-
dependence Popa.ist.

FRIEND OF THE HELPLESS.

The postal clerks who were injured
in the Lang wreck on the Santa Fe
nearly a year ago, are having trouble
| with the insurance company in which
| they held accident policies and the
matter has been brought to the atten-
tion of Webb McNall, Insurance Com
| missioner.
There were six postal clerks in the
wreck and two of them were killed.
All the others are more or less in
jured. G. r. Holiday, who has a
fractured hip, is still in the hospital
The policies were in the Fidelity and
Casualty Co., and according to the
complaint received by Commissioner
McNall, the company has refused all
their claims, on the grounds that they
have never allowed claims for such a
long time as is claimed in these cases.
One man who was disabled for thirty
eight weeks was told he would be al
lowed indemnity for twelve weeks.
Commissioner McNall said that he
will investigate the case thoroughly,
and if there is no good reasons for
the company not paying the claims,
the company will be ordered to take
its agents and get out of Kansas.
We wonder if, in view of the above,
every holder of an accident policy
won't vote to GUST McNall this fall:
Webb is looking entirely too much
after the interests of the policy hold
ers, and it's really too hard on the
poor old insurance companies to make
them keep their contracts TROY
Times.

case of fraud that it suspects has

purporting to be written by n mother,
asking for the discharge from the
army of her son, who was her only
support and who was very sick in Fort
Washington, Md. 1t turned out that
the letter was forgery. The writer
had planned the scheme to secure his
release.
THE dead body of James Prall, n
| farmer, living near Middlebury, O.,
was found at his home with a bullet
hole through his temple. His wife
was alive, although four bullets were
in her body. The inference was that
Prall shot his wife and then killed
himself.
