,Juurliuu with Sufyrare.

In the matter of Juggling with the SUI
frage we are having some curious exhibit
items. In every case there is the pretence
of moving purely for the elimination OF the
il!iterates from the polling lists in the ln-
terest cf giving honesty and intelligence
greater influence in public affairs. but
in every case the facts that surround
II strip of this mark of hypocrisy. and par
tisan profit stands plainly revealed the
rea. incitcment to the outrage.
In Maryland we have the humbug pre-
sonted in it's bodest and most fragrant as
pect The sole object there Is to restore to
power political ring which six years ago
received its first drubbng at the hands OF
a combination of the highest character and
intelligence. Lifelong democrats, revolving
against conditions created in their partys
name but only for the benefit of close
corporation of professional politicians.
Joined hands with lifelong republicans and
drove a spotted gang from power. The
year following the question was one Of al
lying rapidly growing state, with great
business possibilities. with policies making
for public credit and the stability of in
vestments. and again this combination tri-
unphed. Last year the appeal still was to
tho character and intelligence of the state
ana again they won. Aud yet We arc told
that the suffrage of the state IS so infected
with the virus of ignorance and dishonesty
that heroic remedy il necessary to save
the commonwealth
In Virginia a constitutional convention
has been called. and one Of the questions
m the cards for treatment Is that of the
suffrage. 1t is proposed To eliminate I'll
litera tes'' in the Old Dominion as In Mary
land. And yet la what il known as the
~.
largely outnumber the whites-the demo-
Gratis pile up their Ins jorties, while in the
white belt the republicans Il rule come
out ahead in the contests. But the ma
jcrities reported from the counties In the
black belt are invariably large and re-
IN every state and national election since
1885. and are in control of 1t today by one
0f those easy going majOrites OF fifty thou
sand or 10. But this sort Of thing has it's
ii convenience. and at last 1t has been de-
rided. purely In the interests of obtaining
the suffrage laws OF the state 1t will be
done. and In way to give one party the
u.ufruCt OF the proceedings.
II Is impossible that such practices as
these shall much longer escape full review
b. the court Of last resort. An Intelligent
suffrage is much to he desired everywhere,

there is no guarantee that a similar offense
will not be soon afterward committed. BY
placing on the owner or lessee of the es-
tabishment the responsibility Of protecting
his license to do business the law Is given
a meaning which cannot be otherwise than
effective. with proper enforcement. The
test of such laws comes in their appiica-
ton. and 1t is to be assumed that with this
added authority If granted the Commits
sloners will exercise 1t with such discretion
as to draw a wise discrimination between
the artistic and the vulgar, the legitimate
and the indecent.

American Versus Spanish
Procedure.
Regarding the proposed simpIfcations of
the codes of civil and criminal procedure,
DR.. Rowe says:
sHere the simplicity of procedure which
chsracteIizes some of our Western States
codes can readily be introduced without
violating any settled traditions. In fact,
the adoption Of the Spanish to the Amer can
system ofpnvate law can be best begun
through the coles Of procedure. One I'M
Portant change made under the military
government sirikipgly illustrates this fact.
Previous to American occupation, civil cases
were heard upon written dispositions. The
introduction Of tbe public, oral trial has been
most iavorably received, and there is at
present no thought Of returning to the more
primitive procedure. Iu short, the Amer
ican system Of procedure, particularly that
Of the code States, is capable Of adoption to
the Spanish codes, and will even result in
giving to the latter greater force and effect

while, at Iirst glance, the possibility Of
reconciling the American and Spasish sJs
TENS seems remote, close study of b0ih
will show that such blending is by no
means impossible. In fact, is it a combin.
alton which must be made, if we are To
meet the obligations forced upon us by the
administration Of onr new possession. 1t isl
true that the questions presented are new to
us, and, in the form they have taken, find
no parallel in the history Of modern Europe.
American rule means orderly development
rather than oppression, and must, therefore,
effect gradual combination of the two sys
TENS of law rather than a violent subsiitu.
tion of one for the other. The latter policy
would arouse form Of opposition which
would thwart every effort to Americanise
the island. We must gradually accustom
ourselves to the thought that the American

the English common law or the extreme

we.haye hitherto been accustomed In fact
the lessons which our new possessions are
