STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Attention was
wholly centered on the Northern Pacific
question today and the more the opera
tors in stocks studied the problem the
more they did not understand it, The
continued activity of Northern Pacific.
preferred, in strong contrast to its stag
nant condition up to yesterday ever since
the corner in the common stock, was the
occasion of the interest in the subject.
Conjecture exhausted itself in forming
rumors that would gives plausible ex-
PLANTATION of this development. The con-
clusion seemed unavoidable that actual
steps were being taken in the Northern
Pacific settlement, although there were
some observers bold enough to claim that
the transactions in Northern Pacific, pre-
ferred did not represent genuine trans
fers of the stock at all. This interpreted
ton was strained, but it served to illus
trate the completely mystified condition
in the street. Another rather far
fetched explanation that the new Burling-
ton railway incorporated Wednesday
would exchange it's stock for the bonds
which we're issued jointly by Northern
Pacific and Great Northern in exchange
for the Burlington stock purchase. This
the whole Burlington deal, thus reversing
the cause of conflict for control of North
ern Pacific. But this would not explain
the absence of a single share of Northern
Pacific, common, in the dealings. That
it might be a satisfactory solution to
some of the capitalists concerned in the
venture, was not doubted. The broad
intimations from sources usually accred-
tied to Morgan influences of the un-
doubted right of the Northern Pacific
Company to retire Northern Pacific, pre-
ferred caused an uneasy feeling that the
whole dispute was in danger of breaking
out again, although the urging OF such
a claim without enforcing it might be
designed to exert moral influence upon
the opponents in the settlement. Ihe
source of the selling of Northern Pacihc
preferred, continued to be shrouded in
mystery, and the fact that Hartman
brokers We're employed in some of the
selling added to the confusion OF Sentl-
ment, whether designedly or not. AS it
is believed that the Morgan-Hi claims
to absolute control rest entirely on their
holding of a majority OF the common
stock with proposed retirement of the
preferred, it was ingeniously suggested
that their holdings of the preferred might
be coming upon the market. But this
would not explain the advancing prices OF
the preferred, which reached 10SB at one
| time today. This served also to refute
the suggested retirement at par. Another
suggestion was that a valuation above
I. par might be designed for the stock in
the terms of exchange with the stock of
the intended securities holding company

zens of the United States, in violation of
 the constitution, it, is not improbable
 that the same motives which entailed the
 Hayes and Tilden contest. may move for
 and compel Congressional interference
 with all the great evils it would entail.
 Slavery, 1t is true, has gone, and while
 we must admit that economic and moral
 questions growing out of slavery had
 much to do with precipitating our civil
 war, it was at last the clause m the
 constitution giving the south representa-
 tion for slaves who did not vote, making
 non-voters factors in the political control
 of the country, which finally convulsed
 the Union, and brought on the war of
 1861. All of the plans above discussed
 bring about conditions which present the
 like causes of sectional discord, and 1t
 is wisdom to avoid them.
 Such considerations have led many dele
 gates to oppose all of these plans leaving
 open only the property and educational
 qualifications.
 We cannot immediately enforce an ed-
 ucational qualification. since 1t would dis
 qualify many whom we are pledged not
 to touch if 1t can be avoided; and besides
 the entertainment of such qualifications,
 which must necessarily be determined by
 boards of registrars, leads to methods of
 corruption and bossism which, in the end.
 would result in conditions fully as de- plorable as those we seek to remedy. Neither have we much latitude concern ing the property qualification. Any con- siderable property qualification Is out of the question, If we keep our pledges. So, many delegates have thought that the
 payment of a small amount of taxes
 should be the qualification, making pro- vision that the voter who had no property to entitle him to qualify could do so by contributing a small sum to the school fund each year. This seemed, in view of all the complications surrounding the suffrage and our pledges with reference to 1t, as the only practical plan, which
 would not do great injustice nor lead to great abuses.
 What Is called my plan Is not mine any more than that of many other gentlemen, including some of the. gentlemen of the press, the consensus of whose ideas has been formulated tentatively in the evi- dence offered by me with a view to aid ing in the solution of the question. The plan provides. in order to prevent dis franchisements which we promised not to make. that where person has no prop erty he may qualify himself by small contribution yearly to a great public pur- pose. or else he may pay taxes on a cer- tain amount of property having, of course, the requisite qualifications as to residence, age. etc. The suggestion which has been most criticised relates to the admission of persons to the electorate on the recommendation of the grand jury, when concurred in by a vote of the peo- pie of the county, on the names so sug-

Boston. June 3.-The intended cup de- fender. the Independence was given an airing to stretch sails and rigging in Massachusetts bay today, and from what little actual sailing was done, the Crown inshield yacht showed herself to be very speedy, particularly with started sheets.

gested. The grand jury. from it's compo- sition, as well as the fact that it Is not permanent body, would have less parti- sanship and would be less likely to abuse the power and more likely to represen. the intelligence and wishes of the people than any other body. The fact that the people must approve their recommenda- tions gives them an opportunity to check any improper or partisan use of the power. This feature could be relieved of possibility of abuses by cutting down the number of voters who could be admitted to the electorate in any one year and limiting 1t to a small percentage of the male population of the county. Such ad- missions of persons to the electorate was practiced I believe, in the early history of some of the colonies and in at least one of the states. Such a plan, applying equitable considerations to the particu- lar cases, would not be violative of the constitution, and the small number or voters admitted each year, if the scheme was abused or partisan nominations maoe' could not amount to a practical disfran- chisement of persons of any race when there were other qualifications equally open to all It also offers the means or redeeming our pledges as to disfranchise- ment in the case of some persons who could be,reached in no other manner.
 The educational qualification was post poned, to take effect in the future, in the Judgment of the legislature. to comply with pledges made by majority of the delegates and to allow the legislature to determine, in view of the operation of the restricted suffrage proposed in other parts of the plan, whether an educational qualification was advisable or not The regulations of primaries, etc, do not nee essarily form part of the suffrage quali- fication, but were offered tentatively 70 suggest a remedy for the evils that are known of all men.
 It Is true that under the qualifications prepared. a good many negroes can vote. but there will not be enough, even if badly disposed. to exercise evil influence. The plan seems to be the only feasible and practical one if the restrictions of the constitution and our pledges are sincerely compiled with. Besides do not believe it is for the good of either race, that the negro races hould be shut out from all hope, and that no individual of that race no matter what his good character. intel- ligence and interest in the community, shall be forever debarred from qualifying himself to vote in a government which
