UFFRAGE WITHOUT LEARN

As an abstract question of polit
ical economy no one will question
the soundness of the proposition
to (establish an educational qual
ification for voters. Congressional
action on this question has been
inwoked, and Senator Blair has in
troduced a bill in the senate for
the amendment of the naturaliza
tion laws which provides, among
other things, that no alien shall be
naturalized until he can, in the
presence of the judge, speak, read
and write the English language
with such intelligence and facility
as to prove that he has the capac
ity to transact ordinary business in
that language and by; its use to
become well informed in the prin
ciples of the constitution and the
duties of an American citizen.
, The wisdom of adopting a meas
ure of this kind will be a matter of
considerable difference of opinion.
JIany will think as does the
Chronicle that no one will question
the fundamental principles of this
till, that is, no one who believes
that diffused intelligence and gen
eral education are the safeguards
of the liberties and prosperity of a
free people. There can be no
doubt that it is a good thing for
every country that its people shall
be educated, and that jusc in pro
portion as education becomes gen.
eral the nation progresses. But as
to the policy of beginning the work
at the end which Senator Blair has
chosen, opinions will differ. It is
a question purely of expediency
whether we shall require from
aliens more, than we do from our
native-born citizens, and there
seems to be a sort of inequitable
e'ement in Senator Blair's propo
sition. They will probably also agree
with the same paper that the
proper way to reach this question
is for the several states, in their
capacity of sovereigns, to require
that their citizens shall submit to
an educational test before being
permitted to exercise the right cf
suffrage ; and when this is done, it
will be entirely consistent for con
gress to adopt a similar provision
with regard to aliens. To do other
wise looks like plucking out the
mite from another's eye and leav
ing the beam in our own.
Heretofore the exercise of the
privilege of suffrage has been a
potent agent towards acquiring ed
ucation, and a sufficient under
standing of the constitutional laws
to intelligently apply the use of the
ballot. Whether the period is past
when we can safely rely upon the
educational influence thus exerted
is a question that requires careful
study and matured action.
Popular Science says those more
perfected and exact conceptions of
nature which we call scientific
kk'as have prevailed only after
centuries of moral strife with the
inherited superstitions and imper
fec: generalizations of our semi
civilized forefathers. The pro
gressive and liberal governments
of our most advanced nations
to-day have been established in
spite of the bitter opposition of
their predecessors, and are them
sjlved fighting tooth and nail the
higher forms that will succeed
them. In literature and art old
schools strive to deny existence to
the new ; and even in the little
affairs of our daily lives, we areajl
permitting the things that are, and
"have sufficed to our fathers before
us." to keep out the better things
that might be.
The health boards have an orig
nal way of dealing with matters in
Horida. It is reported that ma
larial fever broke out in PlantCity,
in that state, and the board of
heaith immediately ordered the
to -v ns des royed by fire in o der to
stamp out the disease. Their
next movtf will probably be to
burn up all the swamps in the
state and then they can feel secure
in having circumvented king ma
laria ; possibly not beforl.

The fighta and contests over
land claims are numerous and vex
atious, and very often result in
putting into possession the parties
not entitled in justice and equity
to the lands. The dispatches re
late in Colorado, recently, 100
settlers rode to the ranch of George
Bloseer, near Raton, and rein
stated him in possession of the
r inch, which, during the absence
of Blosser and family from home,
had been turned over to a repre
sentative Of the Maxwell grant.
Tiie grant is taking vigorous
measures to dispossess the settlers.
The settlers vow they will not give

congress shall say whether or not
the ruling of the secretary of the
interior in 13W), declaring these
lands part of the public domain,
has the force of law or not, Great

violence is feared. And this is but
