Nab Violence Suppressed.
Duting the first few months of this
year there was rarely a Sunday that did
not witness some scene of mob violence
in some PrusSian city in connection with
the protests of the people against the
gross injustice and iniquity of the Prus
sian suffrage system. The Prussians
are faithful TO the traditions of their
country, they respect authority and laud
the virtue Of obedience. but they are not
all dumb driven cattle The same
movement for democratic control of po
political institutions now sweeping all
over the world is not frightened into
submission even before the throne of
HohenZoIlern.
The imperial constitution grants the
right of universal manhood suffrage to
all germans, just as does the constitu-
ton of the United States. All of the
other important states except Prussia
have adopted suffrage laws in conso-
nance with this liberal and advanced
democratic policy. Wurttemberg. Ba-
Taria and Baden are democratic, and
the whole South German people are OPP
posed to the aristocratic Prussian sys-
tenn.
Three Classes of Voters.
In Prussia the voters are divided into
three classes. Every male adult who
pay in the aggregate the second third of
but his vote is not direct. The aggre-
gate of the income taxes collected is d.
vided into three equal parts, beginning
with the man who pays the most and
down TO him who pays but copper. The
list of the heaviest taxpayers who are
first on the rolls and who pay one
third of the total income taxes com
poses the first class OF electors The
names of those next on the roll, who
pay in the aggregate tn esecond thihr of
the taxes, compose the second class Of
electors. All the others are comprised
in the third class. Taking the income
tax list and the election returns of the
past several elections it is found on
striking an average that the first class
Of primary voters embraces only 3 per-
cent of the whole number; the second
class II percent. and the third class
So percent, although in the larger towns
the disparity is much greater.
Each class of electors in each parlia =

HERE is no more pathetic object
in the world than a wife who
finds her husbands interest in
her failing. and who makes the effort
TO keep his attention by awakening his
sympathies.
The hardest-hearted. or most pro-
sale, or Indifferent of men. is touched
to tender concern by a sick woman.
The eyes, which have been dull or alb
sent in their expression when looking
upon the wife who has lost her power
of focusing their admiring gaze upon
her face, will light with sudden sym
pathy when they see her face pale or
drawn with some sudden pain, and the
voice which has been cold or devoid of
affection will thrill with tenderness
when the sympathies are aroused.
The writer recalls married couple
who seemed to have lost all the ro-
nance out of life. The woman was
irritable and devoid of tact; the man
logged along in the commonplace ruts
of life; and he never looked at his wife
when he found 1t necessary TO speak
10 her. Besides this. he had grown
into the habit of many people. who are
jewellers in rustic towns. of speaking
of his wife as she"

When she" became i'll, as some
times occurred at rare intervals. he

of her by the name he had called her

to do some little thing to relieve her
pain.
