Governor Atkinson's message to
the Legislature contains many i'm
portant suggestions. He recommends
some amendments to the present cleo.
ton law. We believe he should have
gone farther and recommended its
absolute and unconditional repeal.
We verify believe there hes been
more fraud and corruption practiced
under present election law, than I'M
der the old law. Had be gone farther
and insisted upon an educational
and taxticket qualification, we would
have favored him for United States
Senatorship for the remainder of his
life, and on this proposition we do not
want to be misunderstood. With our
present educational system, ali boys
reaching their majority should he re-
quired to read and write before being
allowed to vote. All persons applying
for naturalization papers should be re.
CURED to read and write the English
language before being allowed to vote
and all persons over the age of twenty
two years, should be required to pro.
duce tax bill for the year preceding
the election, at least, before being al
lowed to vote. The last statistics we
have before us are for the year 1894,
and we find i'll that year that 3S,903
voters in this State paid no personal or
per capita taxes, and, no doubt, the
year 1897 shows quite an increase in
the number. There is and will con-
tinue to be quite an ingathering of
men to operate the mines, the mills
and build the railroads, crowding out
and taking the places of the tax-pay.

thousands of them pay no taxes for
the reason they are here and vote at

ance of power, and they ought to be
required to contribute something TO
the support of the Government whose

WARNS M'KINLEY.
a staunch Supporter Says We Must
Have Better Results Abroad.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The Washing
ton Post supported President Mckinley
in 1896 again during the Spanish war.
and upon most occasions since then.
The Post publishes a most remarkable
editorial, which observers here con-
clude must have been inspired.
The article says, after mentioning
the admiration and esteem in which
the president has been held through
out the country. that 1T is to be hoped
now that the president will at once at
tack the problems which are vexing and
distressing all the United States-the
miserable tangles in Cuba, and the fu-
tflfty, waste and disasters in Luzon.
These abhOrrent difficulties must be
smoothed and cured. The country has
endured much as the result of the in
competency and the stubborn blunder-
ing of Brooke and Otis. In neither is
land can we discern the smallest pro-
gress in the direction of our solemn
promises or our proclaimed intent.
The president must usher in new
and healthier regime. If he cares for
political future, he must replace i'm
becllity with brains and vigor The peO-
pie are worn out with failure, bewilder-
ment and disaster. Humanity demands
cessation of the murderOus bungling
in Luzon- Good faith and national
honor require the pacification of Cuba
and a political rehabilitation for the
Cubans. This tragedy must end and
end soon. Existing conditions projected
into the coming year will put con-
elusive end to Mr.. McKinIey's public
life. Deeply as he is beloved by the
American people, overwhelming as may
be his present claim to reelection. the
fact remains that six months more of
such miserable failure as we now have
in Cuba and the Philippines will con-
denim his administration even in the
judgment of those who love him best
and make its repetition an impossible
ity''
Political observers here believe that
Senator Proctor had something to do
with this publication, and that the way
IS being paved to create demand for
a stronger man at the helm, to-wit:
George Dewey.

Part of school Children,

E5ward Wilder, president of the board
of education, and superintendent DaV-
idsOn were present at the meeting of
the reception committee last night to
explain the action of the board of ed
ucation with reference to allowing the
school children to take part in the re-
ception exercises.
Mr. Wilder said the board was anx-
ious to do everything possible to help
thought it had no right to ask the
children to do something which might
endanger their health, especially that
of the girls. After duly considering the
matter, the board had thought it best
to place the girls of the schools on the
south steps of the state house during
the ceremonies, as they could sit down
there.
superintendent Davidson said that
past experience had prejudiced both
parents and children against allowing
the children to appear on the streets as
organized bodies in public parades. He
ever kept standing in line was two
hours, and on one occasion they were
kept three hours and half.
THE children themselves" he con-
tinued, ARE averse to appearing in line,
especially the boys. They want to en-
joy this reception in their own man
ner. The boys think they want to be
down around the Santa Fe depot and
they promise that they will see the
parade-frOm telegraph poles and other
elevated positions. We have asked for
steps during the ceremonies, and about
1000 have volunteered"
The committee voted to approve this
