Editor Star:—Sir: As you have st opposed the current effort on the part of a Sat of the pie of this Clty, and District to Kore res red, and as the ‘andersigned tall Boers with you in this position, please to | ates the insertion in your columns of the fol- oe Sor tn see original ob: it th Jne of the primary original objects of the selection of this city and Dat strict as the site of the national government was to get rid of this very thing of the suffrage and pepe eat local elections. On the 21st of Oct., had been insulted at Philadelphia fe a Daud of ot rowdies, which the state authority was unable to restrain, and the national legislature was con- strained to adjourn to Princeton, where they held their sessions tn the College Hall This ied to the consideration of the subject of establishing a permanent seat of government, and the whole subsequent history of the proposals and debates up to the formation of the constitution, as weil as after that event, shows that one of the prin- cipal objects was ‘to avoid the suffrage in and Shout tha uational capital 2. Hence, when the co stitution was formed it was Hopton that Congress should “exergise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as May by cession of particular states ane the acceptance of Congress become the seat eA npr of the United States, and to ex- erdise | authority over all places’ purchased by the vonecutor tha legislature of the state In which the same shall be for the erection of forts, Magazines, arsenals, dockyards and other need- ful buildings.” This constitutional proviston vests in Congress the exclusive jurisdiction over this District, and charges the Congress with the duty of exchistve legislation for it. Therefore, any legislation of of Congress ‘which delegates this power, or any part thereof, to any secondary or subordinate organ of legislation 1s a palpable violation of the express provision of the consti- tution, They have no more right todo this in this District under the constitution than to do it in any fort, magazine, arsenal, dockyard, post office, land office or mint in the country, And who ever heard of men employed and re- siding in those places clamoring for a Dili be- st ig 6n them the right to legislate for them- h ‘Tien, if the constitution expressly restricts Congress: ‘from delegating its legislative powers to a subordinate body here, what is the use of the suffrage? Upon what do those who clamor for it propose to exercise it? Do they intend simply to play suffrage in order to prove them- selves capzble of self-government? For whom and what would they vote? Certainly not for ‘ause the constitution expressly preciudes ‘any such body of men. For whom then, would they or could they vote? Only such officers as are made requisite by the laws oi Congress. But if the offices are created by Con- gress, then they should certainly be filed by Congress, in the cheapest, shortest, and most effective mode—which mode is certainly not by popular elections. Thus we see by the very provision of the constitution the framers of that instrument intended to exclude the fran- chise from the seat of government. 4. Past experience of the forms of delegated | government, both municipal and territorial in this District furnishes the most conclusive com- mentary on the wisdom of tis constitutional prohibition. Never was there a more scandal- cus abuse of delegated power, or of the elective franchise itself tnan the late contrivaiwe by which Congress managed In disregard of an ex- press constitutional provision to throw off its own duty a pe upon the shoulders of a set Of men, who with rare exceptions, were notoriously unfit for the functions they as- sumed, and to which they were ch and resorts whtch were a po Us community. Those elect ducted that the bona site eltizens and tax- payers of this District were virtually deprived of all the legitimate effect of thelr vote by crowds of houseless, home'ess, irresponsible men, import nto the various wards of the city ‘for the express and only purpose of carr: ing the elections against the bona side eltizens ! What kind of a privilege or right 1s thls, to be so loudly clamored for? Wi Coe it as a no more of ttt ‘Indeed, the evils ql became so palpable in a few years that Co cing its mistake very promptly retraced its abolished the disgraceful expedient ! Now, let them be slow to repeat it. 5, The clamor of certain parties for the resto- ration of the suffrage at the seat of govern- iment Is as silly as it is impertinent. Suffrage from the beginning was not contemplated here. ‘The founders of the government and framers ot the constitution designed undoubtedly to ex- clude it. ‘This was a notice to the people that it they made thelr domicile here they would do it with the full knowledge of the condition of their residence, and if they wished to exerct the Sut frage they could remove into the state: say that this errangement is anti-republican ny sim- ply toretlect ou the men who created the re- public. : 6. How any man with this constitutional pro- vison before him and the wretched blunders of the past In memory can insiston Congress again ing Its mistake, under the specious bus fallacious plea of “Home Rule”’—which would practically mean street-rule and mob-ruie, is more than we can unde nd.

Editor Star:—A Pl teert be pe caste ern part of the aity Serres front the careless manner in which the children in our public schools obtain ’ certifi- cates of vaccination. In instances the children are vaccinated at home with no effect whatever, and hundreds are sent to physicians, and in aS many instances the vaccine fails to work, and, notwithstanding this, the children fel their parents obtain physicians’ certificates Ce ges and ooo vaccinations, and go to school carrying a fraudulent, certificate. Physiclans are eine re ese every day with ay parent indifference One physician says bot parents and children have been to him for certi- ficates who cannot even give proof of having been vaccinated, and abuse him accordingly for refusing certificates. He also suggests that the physicians of the national board of health order a thorough investigation of this matter, and a careful examination of children who have pre- sented certificates, thus tracing the evil to its source and exposing the physicians who ate thwarting the very end sought by the protect- ive regulations of the board of health.
