IGNORANT VOTERS.
II I'm the New YORK Herald

From the New York Herald.
The American theory s that man
should be able to speak English and
have at lea-t the rudiments OF an educa-
tion before he can be trusted with share
of political responsibility.
1t is the practice OF politicians who
care more for party succe SIS and personal
peIquisltes than for the welfare Of the
country to evade this provision and al
low the sheerest ignorance to swell the
party vote.
The theory is all right, and il strictly
adhered to will do much toward per.
petuatng the best government on the
planet.
The practice is not only wrong, but
dangerous. 1t inperi!s everything which
true Americans hold dear. IL is like re
moving the capstone from the arch ano
leaving the structure to the caprice o
adverse circumstance.

COLONIAL POLICY.

From the Philadelphia Times
sIf our colonial policy shall now be
promptly chastened by the punishment
of criminals, and only men OF the high
est standing and attainments be sent to
fill colonial positions, the country Will
respect and sustain our colonial policy.
If colonial appointments shall be made
as political rewards. the system must be
speedily overthrown and the admins
tration brought into dishonor. The one
thing that the administration cannot
stand is smirched colonial policy"

Can't Spend Money.

FRANKroRT, KY, March 1.-Two
state governments, completely Off
cered, and each claiming to be the
regular officials, are in Frankfort
to-day. As anticipated the banks
refuse to recognize either of the con
tending factions and as result both
are without money, and the state
funds are as securely tied up as
they could be. Legislators, county
as well as state officials, and all
kinds of contractors with the state
will have be wait until somebody is
authorized by decision of the
court to pay them, and the state will
have TO wait on what is due it until
the courts say who is authorized to
receive it. The Democratic state
officers have opened offices in the
State Hotel. The charitable and
penal state institutions arc among
the sufferers.

At one time in the history of
this great republic it was not
| certain wether it would live or
die, when the North and the
South were engaged in great
struggle for supremacy and men
were falling by the thousands on
both sides; in those dark days the
rift of light broke through the
dark cloud at Vicksburg and
Gettysburg and liberty and the
union was triumphant. Come
out to the encampment to be held
in Milbank commencing on Tues
day, June 10Th, and lasting three
, days, and hear the story of that
great war. Never before have
such able speakers been engag
ed as has been for this eacamp-
ment. Come and enjoy three
days of solid fun and comfort in
hearing these men talk. We will
do all we can to entertain you
and make you at home. Plenty
OF good tents
The officers of the division also
request that as the hotels, res

in general furnish the money to
carry on the encampment that
no Looths Of any kind be put up
without permission from the city
authorities.
