(violating tub constitution
NOUTII AND SOUTH,
The bill Introduced Into comreu to
investigate Louisiana's suffrage re*
ntrtctlons. and the threat of reducing
Southern representation In congrcaa
that la again heard, odd Interest to a
review of the reatrietlona of the fran-
thlae In both Northern and Southern
ntatet a« given by William It. Merrlam
Jn the December Forum. With the data
Id the cemua office aa his authority, he
conaldera the condltlona In Alabama,
California and Connecticut, and brlnga
forward aome very Intereatlng statist-
leal fact* In each caae. The moat Im
portant paragraph! of the article, aa
condensed for Public Opinion, are aa
lollowa:
"The membera of the conalltutlon.il
Convention found that they had a popu
lation In the atate of Alabama of 1,82*.
C97. a growth In the laat decade of about
318.880 people, or 21 per cent. It like
wise appeared to the membera of that
body that they had 827,MB colored peo
pie to deal with, an Increaae of almoat
350.000, or nearly 22 per cent., while the
white people number 1,001,182, an In
creaae alnce 1880 of 20 per cent. Of this
great maaa of colored people we And
that 181.800 are matea over 21 year* of
age, and consequently voter* under
the former conatltutlon of the atate of
Alabame. Of thl* laat number, 108,000
are Illiterate. The lotol number of
white men entitled to vote If they choae
to exercle* the privilege le 282,20*. It
I. noticeable that at tha laat preslden-
11ni election the entire black and white
vole wae only 182,100. The etntlatlcal
results are evidence that 31,800 of the
white voter* are Illiterate, while thoae
of the Macke who ran neither read nor
write make a total of about 110,000.
The** would be denied the right of bal
lot In ea»e of the enforcement of etrln-
gent rulee regarding euffrage. Accord
ingly, If Alabama ahould aee lit to adopt
a law almllar to that of California,
Massachusetts, or Connecticut, It le evi
dent thet for every white men who '.oat
hla vpte by reason of the lack of edu-
ratlonal qualification* three black men
would lore their vntea. Haney he eald,
In passing, Ihst education Is on the In
crease among tho colored people of Ala
bama. In 1880 there were only 41.007
Macks who wero literate; In 1800 there
were 71.833.
California has many Chinese, but 11
allow* none of them to vote. That atate
enforcee very strict regulations an far
ai the reel of ita cltlicna are concerned.
He constitution provide* that ns per
ron who ahell not be able to read the
ronetltullon In the English language
nnd write hie name shall ever exerelae
the privilege* of an elector In the atate.
Out of Ml.ooo mnlea of twenty-one years
of n*e nr over, only 303,000 availed
themselves of tho right to vote at the
last presidential election. Thera art of
white, colored, nnd Chlne.e Illiterates
about 31,000. It Is not obaerved that
California Insleta upon tha reduction of
representation In tha congreealonat body
on account of the Chinese and other
lllllerataa who do not vole In that atata.
In tha atata of Connecticut, whera
there la a male population of voting
age numbering 380,110, there are only
8.201 colored voter*. The great man of
the llllteratea of this atate conalsta of
w hite people. There are but 713, out of
tho whole number of colored cltlsene,
who do not read or writ*. On the other
hand, there are 13,388 Illiterate whites
of voting age. Thla latter figure la al
most unexplainable, aa Connecticut le
one of the oldeat atatea, and haa had,
presumably, an excellent common
school system Out of 310,000 men of
voting age, 33,000 wero apparently ruled
not on aeeount of reatrietlona concern,
ing the right of euffrage. Article 38 of
the atate constitution, adopted In Oc
tober, 1187, provides that every parson
ahall ha able to' read In the English
language any article of tha constitution
or any aectlon of tha atatutea of tha
atate* before being admitted te an
t.ir. Only 181,800 availed themselves of
their political rights at tha laat preri
dentlal election."
According to thle showing It atl th«
whit* llllteretr* were ruled out In At
a be me a* well aa the black tltlterat
the' eligible white voters would
Dumber 300.601 to only *5,000 eligible
retro voters. This, If Alihmi'i ltw
were Identical with that of Macsacho
setts and made no difference
* * hUe and black illiterates. It would still
be possible for the whites to carry the
rtite by a larva majority, although the
negroes might carry soma of tho coun
ties of tie black belt. It I* also shown*
however, that the actual vote Is very
light, the entire black and white rote
In the lent presidential election being
only 163,906. or about 40.000 less than
the number of white voters who would

nese ^Illiterate or not) are ruled out
aa Chinese. No more msrked race dis
crimination than thla la found In any
Southern atate. It la alao Interesting
to And that aa many a* 18,984 adult
males forfeit the franchise on account
of Illiteracy In the little atate of Con
necticut, and of theae 18,288 are white.
Not one of them la charged with "re
bellion or crime," the only sufficient
cause, according to the med. amend
ment to ths conatltutlon, for depriving
a cltisen of hi* vote.
It le a very fortunate thing n* Mr,
Merrlam pointedly remarks, "that we
are able to give the actual Agures con
cerning the very Intereatlng conditions
Involved In the whole plan of sufTrase
at this particular time. It Is well that
the discussion should go on, and that
the whole country should realize that
while attempts are being made In cer
tain Southern state* to limit the priv
ilege of exercising the ballot, the same
end has already been obtained In aome
northern commonwealth*."
The Washington Post argue* that no
presidential message should be deliv
ered to congress that will cover mere
than two columns In a newspaper, and
submits that special messages treating
one subject, sent to congress at op
portune times, would be more satis
factory and effective. Who will regu
late the length of columni and the size
of type?
IfAltDWICK'S TBMPBBANCB BILL,
Mr. Hardwick's bill to make drunk-
enneag a crime, which seemed 74 votes
In the houae yesterday. Is on the line of
genuine tempetance reform.
The crusade agalnat the sale of In
toxicant*—like many another crusade—
gets hold on the wrong end of the tan
gled thread.
Prohibition extreme, or universal,
punishes the Innocent aa well aa the
guilty. Punishment of the drunkard for
his Immoral act reaches the guilty only,
The former lays Its heavy hand on all
men. The latter goes directly at the
cause of Intemperance In drink—Indi
vidual misconduct.
The author of the Rlttenhouse Tetters
published In theae columns three years
ago took thle position. Nineteen year,
ago while a member of the house he
sought without auccera to Ingraft thl*
Idea upon the temperance legislation of
that day. Then^t received little or no
consideration. Now there are gratifying
evidence, of a growing aentlment
the direction of true reform. It was
hardly expected that tho bill would
pasa on the Arat attempt.
Thl* measure recognises the differ
ence between use and abuse. Universal
prohibition prohibits the use. The
Hardwick bill proposes to punish the
abuse.
An effort was made to laugh the bill
out of the house. Witty statesmen at
tempted to load It down with ridiculous
amendment*. A visitor In the gallery a
Arat blush would have supposed that
bill to protect sheep ^rom prowling cur#
waa up for consideration, for nothing
can so stimulate the humor of Georgia
statesmen as an attack on worthless
and deelructlv* dogs. But It remained
for Mr. a rice to turn the tables on the
tunny men by offering an amrndment
providing that the penalty for drunk
ennras "shall not be enforoed agalnat
any legislator In the discharge of hla
official dutlee." Thla had the effect of
settling the hoime down to a aerloua
mood, for anything that squinted nt
the scenes enacted on the day of the
passage of tho Atlanta depot bill waa
not calculated to provoke mirth.
Mr. Hardwick’s measure will live, be
cause It strikes the key not* to tern
permnee reform. The church and the
state make a mistake In permitting
sinners to saddle the blame for their
etna on others. Thla I* the effect
moat of our legislation and praaehlng
on tha subject of temperance.
CARRYING Til* nonT ON.
In spit* of the hue and cry raised
when It waa discovered that George
Knester, Democrat, had ones,
youngster, taken part In a "lynching
bee* and had written an acount of the
same for hla paper, rrealdrnt Roosevelt
Insisted on appointing him a* collect
or of Internal revenue for the district
of South Caroline. Now, It t* stated
the "Republican organisation In South
Carolina, under the leadership of for
mer Deputy Collector Do**, the negro
chairmen of tha Republican state com,
mltte*. has arrived In Washington
armed with format chargea agalnat Col
lector Koeattr. and also numerous cop
ies of the newajutper-containing Koe*
tor's account of the affair. These pa-
per* have been freely distributed
among Republican senators."
In other wards, the disgruntled due
ky place-hunters of South Carolina
mean to appeal from the president
the senate, and the result will
swatted with uncommon Interest,
the senate shall refuse to confirm K»
ester, the A ret of the breaches between
the president and hie party, which have
been so freely predicted, will have been
made.

Home of the “other authors," though
willing to Imitate all Hall Caine's pre
vious advertising schemes, may have
conscientious scruples against thl* one.
An admirer of Tom Platt aaya: "If
Senator Platt live* until January 1
1803. and has two legs to Hand on, he
will be elected hla own successor." The
senator la aald to be a poor-man, hav
ing given nearly all hla Income to aid
