graft. They saw the country plunged
into disastrous war with the United
States, for no reason whatever except
the greed of the crown and tho foolish-
ness of. the queen that happened to hold
that toy at the time. They have lost
everything under that form of govern
gmcnt while other countries have pro-
crossed. Why should they not be pre-
pared for self-rule under popular gov
eminent after centuries of sad expert
ences with tho other form?
Besides. the majority OF tho Spnniards
are said to hate the Jesuits who com
pete with the factories that pay heavy
taxes, and therefore are in position
to undersell the common manufacturer
and merchant. Tho religious orders
are not in favor in Spain any more than
in France and Portugal. And this Is
truly remarkable. That the religious
orders are not popular In countries con-
trolied by Professionals is easily UNDER
stood. But the animosity toward them
in Catholic countries is different. Why
are they not popular there?
The suppostion Is that IL the King
should be called by DEATH or. IL the
government should give in to the de-
mands of the Vatican; or, II the milf
tary policy in Morocco should be con-
tinued. there would probably be a pop
ular revolt ending in the establishment

A PRIVILEGE. NOT a RIGHT.
Rochester Herald.

A good many people entertain the
notion that voting Is an inherent right
instead of a privilege conferred by
law made by men, just as the owning
of property is, and the power to dis
pose of It by will. Property rights are
conferred In the same way as Is the
privilege OF voting, and under the CON- :
mon law the state has the right of
escheatmcnt. In regard to the voting
right II Colorado judge has made the
law on that privilege plain in de-
cision where a citizen sued railroad
corporation for failure to carry him
home in time to permit him to deposit
his ballot. If weight had been gwen
lis complaint the railroad would have
been heavily unnnlized, for the saliva
ton of the Nation appears to have de-
pended upon this citizens vote. But
the court took q more sensible view OF
the matter.

MISSOURI CENSUS FIGURES.


The census returns for the state OF
Missouri form the subject OF edi-
torial comment all over the country,
The total population is 3.2?S,335, but the
gain in ten years Is only lS5.bio. Ana

that. but they are near enough correct
TO show that Missouri has practically
been Mt u standstill during the last
ten years, in the matter of population,
Many explanations are offered of this
phenomenal condition. 1t has been
pointed out that Oklahoma has alb
sorbed large part of the population
of Missouri. The lack of factories Is
another cause, The increase of popu-
lation always follows the establish
ment Of factories. And, according TO
the Cleveland, Ohio. Leader, another
cause is the peculiar kind of politics
OF the state. That paper wisely OBJ
