FOR UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.

The demand for universal suffrage in
Austria which the government seems
inclined to grant as a means of recon.
cling the opposing elements, means n
great deal more than appears at first
sight. BY universal suffrage the legis-
lative power will actually be shifted
from a small class of favored citizens
to the people generally,
The Austrian parliament consists of
a particularly arIstocratic upper house,
or senate, and lower house which
should represent the people, but which
does not. on account of the intricate
election laws As now constituted It
has So representatives OF the large
landed proprietors, twenty-one Of var-
Gus chambers OF commerce, 1lS OF the
cities, as cities. 129 OF the rural dis
trcts, in which the peasants and small
proprietors are the voters. and only u
OF the whole body OF male citizens
That is to say, the general electorate
OF 5000 300 voters chooses only 12 mem
hers Of parliament, while 49S SOi quail
fled voters in the cities choose llS
It viii be seen that universal suffrage
as understood In modern countries, win
transform the empire into a democracy
1t will, 1t is thought, diminish the Ger
man influence in Austria and the Mag
var power in Hungary, and serve to
| strengthen the union. Whether this
| result viii follow remains to be seen,
| though,
Austria belongs both logically and
| historically 10 the German federation.
! Originally It was but buffer state be-
tween Bavaria and the Aslatc hordes
that threatened to oyerrun Germany
The decline Of the German Bund be.
came Austria's opportunity for lndepen-
dent development, but its mission Is
really done. and Germany has again
risen to more than former power and
| Importance Every consideration seems
TO point to a re-approachment Of Ger
| man Austria to the "Vaterland," and
the dissolution OF the rather weak union

The idea Of a universal brotherhood
has not taken very deep root among
the sentiments OF nations, And until Il
does, strife win continue. Universal
suffrage viii not terminate the struggle
IN the so-called dual empire.
The population is great miXture Of

less than nine groups. The German or

NEW PROCESS OF p1sINFEcTIoN
New York Tribun

A Galveston. Tex. chemist and bac-
teriologist. |. r. Horton has discovered
new way OF killing mosquitoes and
bacteria. II II Endorsed by the Texas
board Of health. II consists OF new
process OF generating formaldehyde
gas. Mr, Horton thus explains II In a
LEGAL newspaper. "rhe process Is very
simple. A washbowl or any similar
vessel Of glass or metal is placed In the
center of the ROOM car or ship 20 be
fumlgated, the powder formaxol IL put
into the vessel and the formaldehyde
solution poured on II. 1t only requires
% seconds to generate tie gases. which
Is done by chemical reaction without
aid Of any appliance whatever or the
use OF fire. The gases thus generate
a large volume In the short space OF 30
seconds. and effectually kill micro-or-
ganlsm as well as insect life In the
short space OF one hour. 1t Is re-
duction OF six to seven hours from
the old process and Is OF vital import
ance and great saving to commerce as
well as to the general public at large
