The absence of members of either house of Congress from their seats is too often spoken of as if all absentees were en- gaged on business of their own, neglecting that of their con- ; and we constantly read what are intended to be sharp reproofs of our representatives based upon the assumption that when they are not in their seats they are neglecting their public duties. The usual remedy pro- posed is a deduction from every congressman's pay for all the that be neglects to to his country's service. We have not been remiss in urging upon Congress to hurry- up tariff legislation. Indeed, we believe that the Dispatch was one of the first papers in the laud to dwell upon the importance of an early settlement of that question. But it must not be forgotten that our representatives spend a great deal of time in waiting personally upon their constituents who visit Washing- ton city for one purpose and an- other- Indeed, suspect that they firmly hold to the opinion that they would earn all the pay get if they did nothing but second the efforts of people from districts to secure employ- in the government service. Day after day our telegraphic columns testify that Mr. Jones, of the First District, or Mr. Tyler, of the Second, or Mr. Wise, of the Third, or some other Virginia congressman, has been pressing upon the head of some depart- the claims certain of his constituents to places under the National Government. In like manner, these same congressmen have to attend to the requests of delegations of their constituents sent to Washington to see that peanuts, Irish sumac, tobacco, iron-ore, coal, and what not put upon the free list. Again, a congressman's duties are not confined to the work of legislation, or to that of seeing his constituents when these hap- pen to visit Washington. It is just as important a part of his duties to bad legislation as it is to promote good Much of the time which a congressman spends out of bis seat is devoted to committee ties, if ho happens to be on a committee empowered to sit the sitting of Congress. Much more of his time is in before committees of which he is not a member to vent legislation which would be injurious to business interests in his own district. In a word, a congressman's place is not a sinecure. He has SUFFRAGE IN LOUISIANA. The committee on revision of the Louisiana Constitution, now in session at Baton Rouge, have adopted an amendment to article concerning the qualification of electors. After stating ago. registration, the Ho shall have paid his poll tax for the year next proceeding the election ; he shall be to read the Con- of the State in his moth- tongue, or shall be the bona fide owner of property, real or personal, located in this State and assessed to him for tho year next the election at a cash valuation of not less than mother has a significance in Louisiana, as there are so many people there who can only read and speak in French. However, this provision would likewise make voters of Italians, Germans, and others of foreign birth who can read their language but not ours. We do not quite understand tho proposed poll-tax prerequisite. If it leaves any opening for the voter to pay in 1894 a tax which was due in 1893 it may not work well otherwise the provision is a good one. Virginia tried the poll-tax prerequisite, but our con- proviso on the subject was not as rigorous as it should have been, and soon became popular, and was repealed several years ago. It will be observed that the committee propose to give suffrage to any man who can read who is otherwise and to any man who cannot read, pro- that he is the owner of worth of real or property. If these provisions become a part of the organic law of the number of ignorant and venal voters in that State will be vastly reduced- In time every Southern State will have put some restriction upon suffrage.

Those people the Democratic also for its recent issue of bonds, and yet they should re- member that Mr. Foster, dent Harrison's Secretary of tho Treasury, advised, in his last re- port to Congress, that be make for on issue of bonds. Why Because the Treasury which had been left full by Cleve- land when he went out of the presidency in 1889, was nearly empty by tho close of Harrison's term and the gold reserve was declining so rapidly that Mr. Foster and everybody else saw that unless some means were taken to protect it it would soon fall below the hundred million limit. People forget these things when they shouldn't- To blame the Democratic party for tho hard times, which began tho winter of have been get- ting harder ever since, for the nation's empty treasury now is no more rational than to an administrator because his in- testate was a spendthrift and he found the estate insolvent. CAROLINA. What a Northern Editor Thinks of the Old North State. North Carolina is now single from the other reconstructed States haying solely by the efforts of her own people, a higher degree of general pros- than she ever before at- in her history. She has a more prosperous and thrifty people to-day than at any period of the past, and there is more capital employed and less debt, State individual, than at any time in the last century. Texas has the Old North State of her large influx of immigration and wealth but North has fewer foreigners and more complete- homogeneous population than any other State of the Union. Since tho rescue of the State from the tempest of profligacy that swept over it after the war, taxes steadily diminished, and the schools have increased until they proffer education to every child this commonwealth, re- of color. Her legitimate debt is steadily her treasury has a largo surplus, her humane institutions, conducted with equal care and outlay for both races, i meats of credit; her public have kept pace with the growing wants of her people her authority reflects the pride of tho State integrity, and thrift content are tho blessings of her people- When it is considered Highest of all in Leavening Power.
