Joseph Cook , the famous Boston lec
turer , was in Omaha yesterday , anfl for an
hour and a half in the evening entertained a
small audience , in the First Presbyterian
church. Ho spoke on the dangers of univer
sal suffrage and the safeguards which could
counteract them , under the title "No Sex ,
Is'o Shirks ami No Simpletons in tno Suf
frage. "
At the outset he stated that while ho was
iu favor of safeguards in the use of the
nuffrago ho was entirely opposed to any color
lino. The race problem was as yet far from
Bettlod In this country , and ho deprecated
nny action which would tend to increase the
caste feeling between the white and black
sections of the community. The three great
dangers which ho foresaw in the exercise of
unrestricted suffrage wore from Illiteracy ,
from the accumulation and misuse of wealth
In the largo cities and from the power of the
saloons.
This was n country of ( W.OOO.OOO people ,
who were governed by 1,000,000 ! ! voters , of
whom about n.000,000 were absentees. Out
of the lu.OOO.OOO who consequently controlled
the destinies of the whole nation , 2,000,000
were illlterato , ! i,000,003 worn what ho
termed mercenary voters and another 2.000-
000 were Under the big Satanic thumb of the
baloon. These throe forces , therefore ,
formed a trinity which held a tlrm grip/on
the national government.
Illiteracy was growing , and faster among
the whites of the north than among the
blacks of the south. The largo cities \\-uro
Rowing at such a rate that ho believed the
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 Now York ; ami ho fore
saw great danger from the corruptness 01
municipal government and the influencing 01
votes by the moneyed elements in the largo
towns.
Presenting the other side of the picture ,
Mr. Cook pointed out that of the 10,000,000
voters f > ,000XM ( ) were church members. The
four leading Protestant churches , the Meth
odist , Baptist , Presoytorlan and Congrega
tional , refused membership to rnmsollers. It
was the Protestant churches and the public
schools that were to work out America's sal
vation. It was .said slavery could never bo
abolished : It had -como to stay. " But It
was found that God had como , to stay
and slavery had como to go. Loss wonder
ful would It bo for the liquor tr.ifilc to bo
outlawed than win the abolition of slavery.
It was ( tiodutv of every conscientious man
to votolieeordtng to his conscience and have
nothing to do with any party which was on
its knees before the liquor trafllc.
In the concluding portion of his lecture ,
Mr. Cook advocated u reading test as a safe
guard ( unilnst illiteracy and compulsory voting
ing to dispose of the shirkers , adding that
with these safeguards ho would advocate the
extension of the suffrage to women. His
bopo for the future of democracy was that It
would bQcomo a theocracy. With a glorious
American church wo would Indeed have a
glorious American republic.

Whether this schedule will be adopted is
open to controversy , because it is well known
that at least four western lines have made

chance of the adoption of the rates now pro

meeting to tbo contract rates. With the
lonp haul of the transcontinental lines and
tlioir announced half-rates , it will bo inipos.
siblo to maintain a higher round-trip rate be

Ht'iolved , lly the citizens of Omaha In mass
meeting hold at the council cliiiinhur of the
city or UiimlianiithoovunliiKof April 3 , 1 'J3 ,
that wo earnestly request that the detonation
from Douglas county shall endeavor to secure
the paisiKotif : the ame.iidiiit iits to the Omaha
city charter as reported back to the senate by
the senate committee on cities and towns and
agreed upon by said committee , without any
further amendments what over.
The above resolution reflects the senti
ments of the citizens who attended the mass
meeting in the council chamber last night.
It is virtually an appeal to the members of
the Douglas county delegation in the legis
lature to como to the rescue of the city o f
Omaha at a critical moment. It meant a
compromise , tin acceptance of a half loaf
when a whole one should 1mvo boon proffered.
Some of the citizens who waged warfare
against the charter as It was introduced
into the senate were present , but they re
mained iiiiot | and only acted as spectators.
The sentiment of the meeting was unani
mously to the effect that something must bo
done and that without further delay.
Mayor Bonus presided at the meeting , and
xiilained in calling to order its objects.
Representative Ntison was present and
> vi s called upon to tell what bo know about
ho charter , Its present condition and
ts chances of becoming u law. He said that
in three occasions he had attempted to secure
ho passage of the bill but without success.
The Independent members had conspired to
: iold the charter back until the freight rate
> ill had been advanced. Ho brought about
he agreement to advance the freight rate
illl , and the independents then Insisted that
he maximum rate bill should still bo ad-
nncod to the third readinsr. Mr. Nason
bought that the charter could bo gotten
hrouuh In Its present shape , but if there are
nero amendments the senate will nol con-
ur. Ho would move tomorrow ( this morn-
UK ) to advance the bill.
D. II. Wheeler explained that the amond-
uonts wore those providing for levies for
ho park commissioners. Board of Health and
udgnients , and striking out the sections
iroviding for the city lottinc a contract for
lisposlng of the garbage without a vote of
.he people and the taxation amendment.
Only Onmliil Allrctocl.
Mr. Hascall thought so long as Omaha Is
.ho only metropolitan city in the stito It
iloesn't interest the other people of the
commonwealth what is included in the
charter so long as it suits the people of
Omaha. What is wanted is immediate
notion , and the amendments should bo
tacked onto the bill and passed In the house
: ind sent to the senate. If the charter should
lot pass it will bo necessary to call upon the
governor to convene the legislature in extra
session.
Mr. Wheeler again spoke and said that
there was no need in passing the charter
without the amendments. Ho did not think
that the members of the house had per
formed their duty.
Councilman Steel said that ho had been to
Lincoln and know that the Douglas county
jiombers of the house had not done their
duty. He had only found two of them who
cared a continental about the charter , Nnson
mid Goss. What is desired most of all is to
lave the provision for issuing Improvement
.rands passed , and unless passed paving can-
lot bo done for two years , nor sewers put in ,
or grading done.
Representative ICyncr explained that there
was a time when the bill could have been
passe'd. had it been possible to have secured
: in immediate report from the committee on
cities and towns us soon as itcamo from the
senate. The scheme all along was to hang
the charter up alongside of the maximum
rate bill. Nearly every member of the
Douglas county delegation has nn nmcnd-
ment that 'ho would like to have in the
charter.
I want to toll you. gentlemen , " said
ICyncr , "that the charter will not pass. A
movement is on foot to adjourn Wednesday.
The powers that bo will concentrate all their
forces on house roll ft ! and everything wijl
have to stand by. I bad Porter toll mo
that the independents had caucused and de
cided to hold up the charter until the
Douglas county members of the house wont
over to the senate and compelled the sen
ators from this county to vote for house roll
3. ! . I do not see how it is possible to miss
the charter at this time. "
Mr. Kyner thought it would be impolitic
to send n delegation to Lincoln , but it would
be u 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.
Dntiglii * Delogutlou Derelict.
City Engineer Andrew Uosewater 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 wore
being considered by the citizens and council.
Ho thought that if the members of the
Douglas county delegation had dotip their
duty and considered the charter during the
three months that the people had the present
dlfllculty would not have arisen. 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
now bills.
If tbo members of the Douglas county
delegation were as zealous in pushing the
Omaha charter , " said Mr. Hosowater , "as
they have been In advancing and passing
measures to punish enemies.tho bill would
now bo a law , and the ! iOOJ men now idle
would bo working upon the paving , sewers
and other public improvements. "
Mr. Uosewater moved that the members
of tbo Douglas county delegation bo re
quested to labor to secure the passage of the
charter with the amendments agreed upon.
The motion prevailed.
Representative ICyncr arose to a question
of privilege , and explained how magnani
mous ho had been in throwing overboard
some amendments ho desired to tack to the
charter , and how anxious ho was to have
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 Bemts.
"Well , I'll toll you , " replied the legislator ,
"that If ono member had taken the lead the
others would have felt ho would have re-
eel veil the credit , and thu others would have
blocked his efforts. "
Mr. Roscwator arose and said that It was
not a question of credit , but of duty. The
county bad elected Mr. ICynor and the ether
members and paid them to represent the
people , ami they should have laid uaido their
personal desires and considered that of the
public.
Mr. Hascall remarked that the mstshould
bo dropped. If the members would work to
secure the passage of the charter now all
will bo forgiven , and they will bo mot on
their return with a brass hand , u fatted calf
and a bottle of ilmmp.igiiu.
Representative Kyner then undertook to
explain how and why ho bad given mich
earnest support to personal spite measures
anil hail overlooked the Omaha charter bill ,
but the effort foil Hat.
John C. Wharton arose and said that If
Rcprii.-iuntallvo Kyner had devoted one-
fourth of the time to the Omaha charter
which the people wanted It might have been
a law by this time.
Mr. Sleul said that the nine members were
in the city and ho moved a vote of thanks to
the two present. It carried.

"Kcypt Allyn" nt tlm lloyd.
The flrst two acts of "Egypt Allyn , " pro-
smitcd at the Hoyd last night , are the bud-
dlnK of a pastoral love story on the banks of
the Hudson. They arc purvmti'd by a sweet
.suntlnnnt and sprinkled with pretty
speeches , but their promise is not redeemed.
" "hu remainder of the play is hackneyed in
ction and commonplace in dialogue.
Miss l.nio ICllsler has the central charae-
cr , an unsophisticated but lovable country
ass. Tno conventional conception would
naito a mirthful romp , a smirking , sancy ,
loydcnisb girl of Egypt Allyn , but In Miss
illsler's hands the character is like n fr.i-
: rant blossom of the fields among hot house
lowers. Egypt is a quaint mixture of childish
nnocenco and womanly dignity. Never
joisterous. Impudent or presuming , she is
i merry sprite one moment and the next
ms a piquant maturity Unit may have been
ugpested by her lines , which are quite
) eyond the vocabulary of the average coun-
ry lass. Miss Ellslcr's Egypt is sweet ,
inlet and soothing , a ' grateful contrast to
onvcntional interpretations.
The play , apparently , was built around
Miss Ellsler , with the result that none of
he other characters are very well detlned.
. 'ho support last night lacked spirit and
onfldencc , but Unit will probably DO reme-
licd when the players grow Into their parts.
