AUGUST /, 1899

TUESDAY, AUGUST l, 1889
Adverse aspects strongly rule to-
day, according to astrology. 1t is a
day threatening to many plans and
especially i'll omened for dealings
with workers.
Under this planetary government
there may be mental depression and
general indifference. Weather con-
ditionS may be unfavorable. t
Although there is promise OF good
news for the nation, pessimism is
likely TO affect some industries. The
seers counsel wise use of money
and opportunity through the re-
mainder of the year.
For those who sign contracts to-
day there is a promising sign. 1t is
suspicious for autumn activities in
many branches of business. Concen-
tration and conservation of capital
is advised for persons of average
means.
There is a forbidding sign for
initiative, but promise for those who
pursue routine work that has been
well established are carefully tested.
The first half of this month may
be unfavorable to shipping. Foreign
trade problems will assume new
phases, but exports are likely to in
crease next month.
Palestine continues under evil
portents. Arab uprisings and acts
of violence may be widespread this
month. British policies may be
changed, but not greatly improved
from the point of view of settlers
or longtime residents.
Women are subject to rule of
the stars that benefits those who
pursue domestic activities. This
month is fortunate for adherents to
old time standards of limitation in
feminine pursuits.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury Of a year of benefits and
good fortune, though the young may
encounter opposition to their ambi-
tious plans.
Children born on this day may be
exceedingly clever, but averse to
self-discipline. These subjects of
Leo may be restless and unreliable.

Should "Reliefers" Vote?
New York TineS)


In suggesting in his address at Charlottesville that
persons receiving public relief ought not to vote Major
Gen. Hartford specifically dsclaimed any intent to
sur worthy individuals whom misfortune beyond
their control has brought to actual need He believes
that those relief should surrender the right to vote
as long they relief because otherwise their
appearance at the polls sis too much like judge sit
ting in action in which he has financial interest.
But suppose carry the principle further. Should
the beneciaries of high tariffs be allowed to vote?
Should those who seek to hold Government contracts
be allowed to vote? Should those who stand to gain
personally by any kind of legislation be allowed to
vote? Should the ballot be kept open for farmers who
receive benefits from the AAA for tenants of Fed
orally aided housing projects for workmgmen whose
wages conditions of labor subject to Federal
regulation?
To ask these questions is, of course, to answer
them. If try to eliminate pressure groups by dis
franchisng those who belong might belong to them
shall speedily get down to rule by very small
minority. We shall get rid of special interests
in elections until the voters educated to under
stand that government by special interests is bad for
everybody concerned-including in the long rum the
benefciaries of specal-interest legislation. This may
take time Democratic processes always take
time We have to be patient to do own individual
voting disnterestedly and to build up in
every possible way the conception of a inter-
est which can engage all mems loyalty
