He spoke on the dangers of univer. sal suffrage and the safeguards which could counteract them, under the title “No Sex, No Shirks and No Simpletons in the Suf- frage.” At the outset he stated that while he was fu favor of safeguards in the use of the suffrage he was entirely opposed to any color line. The race problom was as yet far from settled in this country, and he deprecated any action which woula tend to increase the easte feeling between the white and black sections of the community. The three great dangers which he foresat in the exercise of unrestricted suffrage were from illiteracy, from the accumulation and misuse of wealth in the large cities and from the power of the saloons. This was a country of 65,000,000 people, who wero governed by 13,000,000 voters, of ‘whom about 8 000,000 were absentees. Out of the 10,000,000 who consequently controlled the destinies of the whole nation, 2,000,000 were illiterate, 2,000,000 wore what ne termed mercenary voters and another 2,000,- 000 were under the big Satanic thumb of the saloon. These three forces, therefore, formed a trinity which held a firm gripon the national government. Iliteracy was growing, and ster nmong the whites of the north than among the blucks of the south. The large cities w growing at such u rate that he believed th child was born who would live to see 10,000, 000 people within cannon shot of the Statue of Liberty, that Chicago would reach that figure sooner than New York: and he fore- saw great danger from the corruptness of municipal government and the fluencing of votes by the moneyed clements in the large towns. Presenting the other side of the picture, Mr. Cook pointed out thav of the 10,000,000 yoters 5,000,000 were church members. ‘The four leading Protestant churches, the Meth odist, Baptist, Presoyterian and Congreg tionul, membership to rumsellers. 1t was the Protestant churches and the public 8chools that were to work out America’s sal vation, It was said slavery conld never be abolished : it had me to stay.” But it was found that God had come to stay and slavery had come to go. Less wondor. ful would it be for the liquor trafic to be outlawed than was the abolition of slavery It wus the duty of every conscicutious man to vote iecording to his' conscience and have nothing to do with any party which was on its knees before the liquor trafie, In the concluding portion of his lecture. Mr. Cook ndvocated u reading tost us a safe \mrd against illiteracy and compulsory vot to dispose of the ‘shirkers, adding that Lh these safeguards he would advocate the Bxtension of tho suffthge & women. His hope for the future of e ey was that it would becoine a theocracy. With a glorious American church we would indeed have u glorious A mevican republic, - FOR A QUILT SUNDAY.

Resolved, By the citl aha in mass mecting held at the council chamber of the city of Omaha on the evening of April 8, 1893, thut we carnestly request that the delegation from Douglas county shull endoavor to secure the passage of the amenduents to the Omaha city charter as reported back to the senate by the senate committee on eitios and towns and agreed upon by said committee, without any further amendments whatever The above resolution reflects the senti | ments of the citizens who attended the mass ing in the council chamber last night It is virtually an appeal to the members of the Douglas county delegation m the le lature to come to the rescue of the city Omaha at a critical moment, It meant a | compromise, un acceptance of a half loaf when a whole one should have been proffered Some of the citizens who waged warf: against the charter as it was introduced into the senate were present, but they re ained quict and only acted as spectators The sentiment of the meeting was unani- mously to the effect that something must be done and that without further delay. Mayor Bemis presided at the meeting, and explained in calling to order its objects Representat Nason was present and wi s called upon to tell what he knew about the charter, its present condition and its chances of becoming a law. He said that on three oceasions he had attempted tosecure the passage of the bill but without success. The independent members had conspived to hold the charter back until the freicht rate bill had been advanced. He brought about | the agreement to advance the freight rate bill, and the independents then insisted that the maximum rate bill should still be ad vanced to the third reading. Mr. Nason thought that the charter could be gotten through in its present shape, but if there are more amendments the senate will now con- cur. He would move tomorrow (this morn- ing) to advance the bill D. H. Wheeler explained that the amend- ments were those providing for levies for the park commissioners, Board of Health and judgments, and striking out the sections providing for the city letting a_contract for disposing of the garbage without a vote of the people and the taxation amendment Only Omaha Aflected. Mr. Hascall thought so long as Omaha is the only metropolitan city in the stite it doesn’t’ interest the other people of the commonwealth what s included in the charter so long as it suits the people of Omaha. What is wanted is immediate ion, and the amendments should be ed onto the bill and passed in the house and sent to the senate. 1f the charter should not pass it will be necessary to call upon the governor to convene the legislature in extra session Mr. Wheeler again spoke and sa there was no need in passing the charf without the amendments. He did not think that the members of the house had per- formed their duty Councilman Steel said that he had been to Lincoln and knew that the Douglas county members of the house had not done the duty. He had only found two of them who 1 a continental about the charter, Nason and Goss. What is desired most of all is to have the provision for issuing improvement bonds passed, and unless passed paving can- not be done for two years, nor sewers put in, or grading done, Representative Kyner explained that there s 4 time when the bill could have been 1, had it been possible to have secured an immediate report from the committee on cities and towns as soon as it came from the senate. The scheme all along was to hang the charter up alongside of the maximum rate bill. Nearly cvery member of the Douglas county delegation has an amend- ment that “he would like to bave in the charter. “I want to tell you, gentlemen," suid Kyner, “that the charter will not pass. A movenent is on foot to adjourn Wednesd. The powers that be will concentrate aH the forces on house roll 33 and everything will have to stand by. I had Porter tell me that the independents had caucused and de- cided to hold up the charter until th Douglas county members of the house went over to the senate and compelled the sen- tors from this county to vote for house roll 3. 1do not see how 1t is possible to pass the charter at this time.” Mr. Kyner thougnt it would be impolitio to send a delegation to Lincoln, but it would be a good idea to have citizens call upon in- dividual members of the legislature and so- licit their assistance in passing the charter. Mr. Nason thought that a resolution adopted requesting the Douglas county members to work for the passage ot the charter would be beneficial. Douglas Delegution Derelict, City Engineer Andrew Rosewater said that it was a very late day to discuss the merits and demerits of the charter. The op- portunity was given to do that for several weeks when the charter amendments wi being considered by the citizens and council. He thought that if the members of the Douglas county delegation had done their duty and considered the charter during the three months that the people had the present dificulty would not have arvisen. The facts are that there was a combine to prevent the passage of the charter, and by connivance it was not permitted to leave the senate until the date had passed for the introduction of new bills ~If the members of the Douglas county Ation were as zealous in pushing the charte: said Mr. Rosewate 1S have beenin advancing and passing medsures to punish enemies, the bill would now aw, and the 8,000 men now idie would be working upon the paving, sewers and r public improvements. Mr. Rosewater moved that the membe Douglas county delegation be re- 1 to labor to secure the passage of the with the amendments agreed upon. The motion prevailed. Representative Kyner arose to a question of privilege, and explained how mous he had been in throwin some amendments he desired to tack to the charter, and how anxious he wus to huve the bill passed. What was lacking was some member to take the lead in the matter. “Why didn't you take the lead, Mr, Kyner?" inquired Mayor Bemis. “Well, I'll tell y plied the legislator, “that if one member taken the lead the others would have felt he would have re ceived the credit. and the others would have blocked his effort: Mr. Rosewater arose aud said that it was not a question of credit, but of duty. The county had elected Mr. Kyner and the other members and paid them to represent the people, and they should have laid aside their personal desires and considered that of tho public. Mr. Hascall remarked that the pastshould be dropped. 1f the members would work to secure the passage of the charter now all will be forgiven, and they will be met on their return with a brass band, a fatted calf and a bottle of champagne Representative Kyner then undortook to explain how and why he had given such carnest support to personal spite measures and had overlooked the Omaba charter bill but tho ¢ fell flut John (. \Wharton arose and said that if Representative Kyner had devoted one fourth of the time to the Omaha charter which the people wanted it might have been u law by this time Mr. Steel said that the nine members were in the city and he moved a vote of thanks to the two presont, 1L carried Governor Crounse Appented T Mayor Bemis was instructed to communi cate with Governor Crounse, divecting his attention o the importance of the passage of the charter and urging the governor, in casc the house falls 1o take action, to divect the members' attention in i special message to the crisis that threatens the eity aud the necessity of a specinl session of the leglsla ture in case the churtor does not piss he suggestion came from Hon, A B Slater, who remarkea thata prayer should also be sent to the Dougias county members imploring them to do s hing.

The first two acts of “Egypt Allyn," pre sented at the Boyd last night, are the bud- ding of a pastoral tove story on the banks of the Hudson, They ave pervaded by a sweet sentiment and sprinkied with pretty specches, but their promise is not redecmed The remainder of the play is hackneyed in action and commonplace in dialogue Miss ifiie Ellsler has the central charac ter, an unsophisticated but lovable country lass. Tae conventional conception would make a mirthful romp, rking, saucy, hoydenish girl of Kgypt' Allyn, but in Miss Isler's hands the character is like a fra ant blossom of the fields among hot h flowers. Kyt is a quaint mixture of childish innocence and womanly dignity. Never boisterous, impudent or presuming, she is a merry sprite one moment and the next has a piquant maturity that may have been suggested by her lines, which are quite beyond the vocabulary of the average coun try lass. Miss Ellsler's Kgypt is sweet, quiet and soothing. a grateful contrast to | conventional interpretations. The play, apparently, was built around Miss Ellsler, with the result t none of the other characters are very well defined, The support last night lacked spirit and confidence, but that will probably be reme- died when the piayers grow into their parts, Organ Reeital ny Mr. Taft, The organ recital given by Mr. Frank Taft at the Hanscom Park Methodist ehurch last evening received a very light patronage, less than it deserved.
