Sandwiches.

W D. Nesht. in the Chicago Post.
The sandwich was invented by the Earl
of Sandwich He was gambling one
evening, and not caring to break the
run OF his luck had piece of meat laid
between two slices Of bread. Therefore
the affair has ever since been called a
sandwich. Let us be glad that II was
not invented by Lord Daubigney, whose
name is pronounced Gorsuch
There are many kinds OF sandwiches.
The ordinary scent kind may be con-
verted into a 25-cent variety by adding
a shriveled leaf of lettuce.
e All restaurant and hotel men become
fabulously rich by selling sandwiches.

corners for use in stufing turkeys. slice

District Citizenship.

A correspondent in to-days issue OF
this paper discusses the subject OF citi-
zenship IN the District OF Columbia. He
presents a number of propositions which,
If not new. argue strongly for the right
OF suffrage. and in conclusion asks:
do the people Of Washington and the
nation really think that the District OF
Columbia affords any just conception Of
a republican or a democratic form OF gov
ernment?"
The District does not, OF course, afford
"a just conception OF a republican or
democratic form OF government" II is
an anomaly. as everybody has recog-
nized since the seat of government was
established here, but II has not operated,
as advocates of suffrage would have it
appear. to deprive a resident OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia OF every vestige of
citizenship. II deprives him of the right
10 vote, but his citizenship is otherwise
as fully protected, his property rights as
secure. as if he were the resident of any
State. Whether it be morally right thus
10 disfranchise a great community at the
seat OF the republic is debatable. The
argument is almost wholly on the side OF
our correspondent. But the constitutional
right OF Congress 10 exercise complete
and absolute Jurisdiction and authority
over the District OF Columbia can hardly
be assailed successfully at this late day.
Despotic power is vested in Congress
Ito exercise exclusive legislation in all
cases whatsoever" over the territory en-
braced In the District of Columbia. II is
a despotic because an absolute power.
The idea of despo;ism is usually asso-
ciated with that OF the unlimited and
arbitrary rule OF a tyrant." but the most
severe critics Of our form of government
here Will admit that II is a generous. II
not benevolent. despotism which Con-
gress exercises and always has exercised
over the District of Columbia.
The right 10 vote, all will agree. is es-
sential TO fun citizenship Certainly the
exercise Of that right makes for better
citizenship. A moral wrong is involved
in withholding that right. Some time.

in this light and grant suffrage In a
form that will still leave the national
