Something entirely new in qualtica,
tions for suffrage is about to he given
trial in Louisiana. The provision
finally adopted. not without opposition.
requires an educational test for suf-
frage. but makes an exception where
the illitcl'ate voter possesses property
or his wife has property. Exception
is also made in case of Il foreigner nat-
uralized prior TO the first of this year,
and in the case of an illiterate voter
whose father or grandfather was Il
voter i'm Louisiana or some other State
previous to Jan. /. 1867. With voting
where suffrage is granted because OF
the electors garden patch or his
Wifc'S mules we are familiar, FOR SeN-
eral States have similar property quail
tcations. But the plan of permitting
"A man who cannot read and has no
mules to vote simply because ms
grandfather was Il voter more thah
thirty years ago is Il decided innoNa-
ton. The proposal would be amusing
were it not 50 serious. In business HE
young men frequently bank on the
life there is tendency To rely on
glandfathcrS or more distant anceS-
tors. This. however. is the first Sug-
gcStion of hereditary qualification
for suffrage in any American State.
1t certainly is not n suggestion OF the
surviving grandfathcrs for few of
them would care To continue voting in
definitely through illitcrate descend
ants. This strange suffrage Qualltlca-
ton is of doubtful validity majority
of the delegates opposed it, but accept
ed it as compromise. Both of the
United States Senators from Louisiana
have declared it unconstitutional from
a Federal standpoint, and number of
other Senators consulted dcnounce II.
If il is finally tried and sustained what
new and strange suffrage quallhcatioh
may we not expect from the next con
stitution-making body?

In Japan : new CABINET are N'N''"I
vounr men who have imbibed much OF
the commercial spirit Of the age. IheI
are aggressive young fellows who are
committed to the developing of the ma
terial resources of the Empire. Prime
Minister Ito. who for the third tim" Is
mt the head of the Cabinet, is disposed
10 give his young colleagues wide la'.-
tude in which To carry out their police
of building up the industries OF the
country. Last year over five hundred
miles of new railway were constructed
in japan, and this year ii is proposed 10
build even greater mileage. All tohh
there are two thousand miles OF IH.l-
way in Japan, and in order to make
them pay they must be fed with the
traffic that springs out of commercial
activity. These railways belong hota
10 the government and private corpora
tons, and connect the principal cities
of the Empire. In order To stimulate
manufactures, the new Cabinet tie
sides to negotiate Il commercial treaty.
Germany has been selected rs one OF
the countries which Will be invited Ia
enter such treaty. The Japanese AZ
cue that Germany manufactures ma
chnery which they need, and con
SumeS the products which they manu-
facture. Therefore Il commercial treaty
with Germany is looked upon rs a
desirable acquisition. This eagernesS,
on the part OF the laps. to secure a
commercial treaty, under which the
products of the TWO countries thereto
may be advanta%eouSly exchanged,
ought To attract the attention of our
government Germany produces no
machinery that We do NOT produce and
she consumes no Japanese products
that we do not consume. We can Sc
cure the trade of Japan If we 20 after
it on terms that Will be acceptable
10 the new Cabinet, but we cannot get
ii if we remain inactive and silent while
Germany is pursuing the prize. We
ought to furnish the Japanese the
greater part of their railway iron, and
their rolling stock, but we furnish them
only small fraction of what they use.
We ought to furnish them the maChin-
cry they use in their cotton and silk
mills. but we do not furnish any To
speak Of. We ought to have market
there for our machinery, agricultural
implements, etc. but the foreigners on
the other side of the Atlantic enjoy Il
monopoly of what we ought to share.
The Japanese like us. They are trying
10 make their system Of government
analogous to ours. so far as it is posi-
bic 10 make a monarchy resemble re-
public. In view of this we ought TO
compete with Germany for the trade of
the Japanese, and if necessary make
such concessions As would secure for
Us continuing market for our staples,
and the products of our mills and fac
tories, which now glut the channels of
home consumption. Japan wants TO
trade with the outside world; why not
have her trade with this country?

HELEN GOULD Will GO.
Will Attend Peace Jubilee and Floral
Parade at Atlanta

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 9.-With the peace
jubilee still five days off the executive
committee is assured Of the presence in
Atlanta on the 14th and 18th of all the
invited guests. Attorney General Griggs
is the last to send his acceptance and
has notified the committee that he will
come with a party of New Jersey peo-
pie including Adjutant General William
Stryker, William PancOck, state comp
troler and Col Olphant, aid to Gen.
Stryker.
In the matter of distinguished men
who have accepted the invitation of
Atlanta to be present on the occasion,
it is believed the jubilee will surpass
the celebrations held recently in the
north and west and the fact that the
treaty of peace will probably be signed
tomorrow, gives to the event an add
tfOnal interesting feature in the fact
that it will be the first real peace jubi-
lee. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has notified the
committee that he will be in attend
ance and from this it is inferred that
the commander of the Seventh corps
does not expect to leave Savannah for
Cuba for at least one week.
Gen. 10 Wheeler has expressed his
Willingness to ride at the head of his
old cavalry. The staff of grand marshal
includes James Swan and Edward A.
Sumner of New York, Col. Henry l.
Turner who commanded the First Hill
nOis regiment at the battle of San Juan,
Alexander H. Lowell, C u. Gordon,
postmaster, John J. Badenoch, former
chief Of police, all of Chicago and Blu
EFT Lee, son of Gen. Stephen d. Lee.
The ladies of Atlanta, are taking an
active part in the affair and many re-
ceptions have been arranged for the Ia
dies of the presidential party and other
prominent women who will be present
The army and navy league has sent out
a large number of invitations Among
the acceptances received is one from
Miss Helen Gould. The floral parade set
down for the afternoon of the 14th, has
assumed large proportions. Apartments
for the president and members of his
party have been reserved at the Kim
ball.

at Washington the following day, and
on December 10 to wind up with a game
with the strong team at Concordia.
There are some twenty-five men who
would like to get places on his team,
and it ought to prove a strong combina-
ton.
There will be four members of the
varsity upon the team. Lon SiIveris cap
tain, and will play full back; Tucker,
the big freshman half back, will play
one of the halves, and Wilcox and Wood
ward will play the guards back inter
ference. The other men who will COM
pose the team have all of them had ex-
perience on the university scrubs"
and both ends-Gavin and Algy-have
been used throughout the year as sub
stitutes on the regular team. Seven
teen men will be carried on the trip.
and the boys are practicing hard every
afternoon. A similar team made q sue
cessful trip at this time last year.

LETTERS TO MISS GOULD.
She is Receiving 800 a Day, Mostly
From Grateful Soldiers.

Tarrytown, N. Y, Dec. 9.-Since Miss
Helen M. Gould left Lyndhurst, her
country home here, for her winter home
in New York, nearly 800 letters to her
have reached the Tarrytown postof1ce
daily. They have all been registered,
readdressed and forwarded to her at
Albany, where she is in attendance up
on the trial of Mrs. Cody.
Most of the letters, either by post
mark or in some other way. indicate
that they are from soldiers. Her name
is a, synonym among army men for all
that is kind and generous and doubt
less the letters are from soldiers thank
ing her for her hospitality here and at
Montauk Point.
The Tarrytown postoffice is a small
affair and much extra work has been
caused by the Gould letters. If the
mail for Miss Gould continues to arrive
at the present rate the postmaster will
apply to the postmaster general for
more help.
