TO TEST VALIDITY OF SOCTHIBR
ELECTION LAWS.
Bono of our Meads at the North are
giving themselves a good deal of tronble
about Sonihern suffrage laws. In the
Ohio Repnblioan convention this week
one of the resolntlons forming the plat-
form adopted denounced the suffrage
restrictions adopted in the Sonth, and
oalled for congressional legislation bas-
mg representation in Congress upon the
actual voting population.
And now we see that dlsousslon of a
proposition to test the validity of South-
ern election laws occupied the attention
of the Afro-American Oonnoil in session
in Washington City on Tuesday.
A speaker, In 0|>ening the meeting is
reported as saying:
"The states of Louisiana and North
Carolina have adopted constitutions to
nullify the Fifteenth amendment to the
Federal Constitution, and conventions
are now in session In Alabama and
Virginia with apparently the same end
in view. It 1s the pnrpose of the Afro-
American Oonnoil to test before the Su
preme Oonrt of the United States the
validity of these oonstltntlons. The
ablest legal talent available has been se
cured, and notion lias been taken in
Louisiana to bring the matter beforo
the Courts. In this movement we ask
the hearty oo-operation of all law-abld
log citizens of both races, North aud
Sooth."

The visit of General Gomez to tlio
United States most likely has beearing

first president of the new republic,
Gomez will go to New York to see

men have been prominently mentlonod
In conneotton with the presidency. It
ls'nnderstood that Gomez favors Palma,
while Palma would like to see Gomez
the president. From New York the
General will go to Washington to con
fer with President McKinley. He prob
ably wishes to know whether or not

The faot that the yacht Columbia, cup
defeudor of 1899, outpoluted the new
defendor, Constitution, in the first of
the trial raoos off Newport yesterday
has small significance. Yachts are lia
ble to be obliged to race under all sorts
of conditions of wind and weather ; and
yrhtle the Colombia crossed the finish
line three minntes ahead of the new
challenger yesterday, she may never
again achieve that triumph. The most
expert designers and builders of racing
oraft in America are the producers of
the Constitution, and it may be regarded
as praetlcally certain that they have
made some improvements over the Co
lumbia. The triumph of the latter
yaoht will doubtless be short-lived. It
will be remembered that, a few weeks
ago, Shamrook I outpointed Shamrock
II in the first of the trial races, bnt in
the t>nd thej new boat proved to be tho
swifter.
Jacob S. Rogers, the famous builder

floor mid the indications pointed to tho
fact that ho had made an attempt to
crawl to the window for air when he
was overcome. Rogers had been dead
for several bouts. His home was iu
Paterson, N. J. He was oue of tho
richest men in New Jersoy. His wealth
is estimated tit $10,000,000.

SCORING SICKLES.
Gen. Das Sickles Is being lambasted
os all aides and from every quarter for
his attack upon Pension Commissioner
Evans. Sickles, It will be remembered,
sea up the claim to the Republican bosses
not long ago that one of the pledges
made to the old soldiers daring the last
presidential campaign waa that Evans
should be removed. When he oalled
for the delivery of the gooda Commis
sioner Evans gave out some letters from
Siokles whloh oonvioted the latter of
treaohery, deceit and ingratitude. And
now newspapers in both polltloal par
ties are shooting arrows at Sickles.
One of the roost penetrating of them all
is the following ftom the New York
Times:
"Sickles really proclaims that the old
soldiers who are constantly reminding
the oountry that they Baved it forty
years ago, were last year willing to let it
go to the dogs morally and financially
until they received Gen. Siokles’ assnr
nnce that Commissioner Evans should bo
put out and a man should be appointed
in his place who would ladle out of tlte
treasury something more than the beg
garly pittance of $140,009,000 a year
whloh they are now getting. Get rid of
Evans or we will pat in Bryan—that was
their platform, their whole stock of
principles in a time when their coun
try was threatened with a calamity that
would have left it bankrupt in honor,
with prostrate industries, and its govern
ment in the hands of men untried, in-
oapable, and unsafe Tho oountry was
In peril, but, according to Gen. Sickles,
nothing but a loud bawl for more pen
sions was heard from tho old soldiers.
We submit that that 1b the worst thing
over said about them."
The Engineering aud Mining Journal
gives some luterusting figures respecting
the gold and silver production of tho
United States during tbe last calendar
year. The total of gold from mines in
this oountry is placed at $78, •
159,074, an increase of $8,008,058 over
the previous year. The value of silvet
produoed wns $80,570,900, then being
an inorease of 2,484,908 troy ounces dnr
ing the year as compared with the year
before. Colorado is now tho leading
gold produolng state, her output last
year amounting to $28,702,080. The
Southern states altogether produced
$200,000 of gold, The world’s gold
prodnot m 1900 wns $255,924,054, its
against $811,505,945 in 1899, showing a
decrease of $55,581,298 owing to the
diminished production of the Transvaal
mines. *
The Boston Journal, a protectionist
organ, in, referring to the republican
newspapers that are independent enough
to speak for tariff reform, says that
they do not know what they are do
ing." The organ tells them by way of
instruction that "they are virtually try
ing to ant off the business of every met-
chant whq advertises in their columns,
and to rob their readers of tbe earnings
of their daily toll.” And right here the
Philadelphia Record comes in and says:
MorohautB who send American goods
abroad and who buy foreign goods to
meet the wants of their customers kuoVv
that nothing is more disadvantageous to
trade tluiu tariff restriction of the
market supplies. The Bostou Journal's
notions belong to another latLnde as
well as to another epooh.”
FOR A CHEERFUL RELIGION.
The Rev. J. O. Solomon, pastor of tbe
Woodward Avenne Baptist ohnroh, At
lanta, has attracted attention by declar
ing for cheerfulness in religion. Taboo
ing
"Hiirk from the tomb the doleful pound,"
as the key-note of religion, this Atlanta
divine has gone to preaching the gospel
of happlnes- and pleasure for the chil
dren of God. He believes that aince
the devil furnishes amusement in the
name of Christ to attract men, the
churoh should provide amusement in
the name of Christ to attract the young
back to God.
Of course this preacher who has dared
to contend that there ia or can bo suoh
a thing ns holy joy and amusement
without sin will be criticised. The
Pharisaical preachers who wear long
faces and speak only in sepulchral tones
a.td seem to think that true religion
couslsts in groaning and whining will
hold up their hands In holy horror and
probably charge the Rev. Polommt with
opening the doors of tlte church to tho
devil. But If he perseveres Id his cheer
fulness and osoapes trial for heresy at
the hands of his more sanctimonious
brethren he will soon be preaching to
full bonches and Aud his chutch grow
ing.
A sermon which the Rev. Mr. Solo
mon preached on lust Sunday night 1b
published In yesterday’s Atlanta Consti
tution, aud it is refreshing in tills dav
of whining, scolding preaching to read
it. This preacher actually declared that
"a good tlmo in tho world Is not contra
dictory to the teachings of Jcsns
Christ I” Here is an extract whtch fur
nishes n pretty fair idea of the gist of
his sermon :
"I bollcvc i»H'hi’Brtlly*HH miy of you, my
friends, in Hiilviition by grave, iu h genuine re
pentance, in faith in God. Yin, I believe in
blood religion, but—
. '"Religion nevor waa designed to make our
pleasure less.'"
With more of this Bort of preaching
and more cheerfulness In religion the
world would bo brighter and better;
more people would nudertuke to live up
to such a religion nnd there would be
fewer empty benches iu the sanctuaries
on Sundays.
ENGLAND’S SHAME.
It is now admitted in the English par-
Uament and by the press that 40,000
persons are herded in the prison pens of
Sonth Africa, and that they are mainly
women aud children. The report that
foroeil the government to admit the
facts was made by Miss Emily Hob-
house, who went" to the concentration
oamps to relieve the distress of women
and children, and the London Daily
News defies any man to read her report
wlthont burning with shame and indig
nation a’ the deeds done nnd the suffer
ing inflicted on women and children un
der the protection of fhe British flag
with the countenance and approval of
British statesmen and officials. Tho
News concludes:
"Hitherto the people at home have
been ignorant of what has been done
in their name. Information wns with
held and fallacious answers returned to
questions In the house of commons, and
ou every hand there has been a conspi
racy of deceit and evasion carefully cal
culated to prevent the faots from be-
nomiiig known. Miss Hobhouse's report
is a damning iudictraent against the
hide; ns policy which has been pursued
in the dark.”
The hot wavo wltioh bas been sweep
ing over the ooautry daring the past
few days is the severest the oonntry lias
experienced iu mauy years, and him-
dreds of deaths have rcsultod front sun
stroke iu the groat cities. According to
the weather borean, there is no prospeot
of immediate relief from the high tem
perature and oppressive humidity, and
the fearful record ot the last few days
may continue through the week. Mean
while, thoee who are aweltering aud col
lapsing in lees favored localities would
find sweet reliof iu tho South, where,
though the sou shines hot aud the ther
mometers climb high at midday, the
only inconvenlenoe men undergo is a
profuse flowing of perspiration.
A BIG STRIKE ON.
As a result of the refusal of the repre
sentatives of the American Steel Oo. and
the American Steel Hoop Oo., subsid
iary companies of the great United
States Steel Corporation, to sign the
workers’ new scale at Satnrdav's con
ference, circulars were sent out from
the national headquarters of the Amal
gamated Astooiation of Iron, Steel and
Till Workers ou Sunday and Monday
declaring u strike at all the plants of
the two combines. The great strike Is
on, but it ■ ill be several days before its
actual extent is known. At tlte outset,
however, over 85,000 men will be in
volved.
Says tho Phiadelphia Record: “Be
sides mustering out the ontire body of
volunteers whose terms of service will
expire tomorrow, the war office proposes
to seud homo from Manila about 9,000
regular troops, thus reducing the Fed
eral ,garrisons in the atchipeligo t,o an
aggregate of about 10,000 officers and
men. The uew government year, ac
cordingly, will begin with war depart
ment current expenses reduced largely
below the estimate for this branch of
administration. There will bo a large
surplus fund ut the disposal of the de
partment—probably from $15,000,000 to
$20,000,000 for the year. It will attract
reckless speculative financiers and
orooked politicians as carrion attracts
buzzards."
Tito Pension Fraud.
From th« Now York Timed,
Thirty-six years after the close of the
war we have 1,000.000 names on tlte
pension list and are paying out in
peusionB $140,000,000 annually. The
Times did explain how this oomes ubout
a few years ago, when it investigated a
certain nnmbor of speoituen pension
cases in northern Now York. The
method employed was to exumiue the
pension applications for that district, as
certain in each case wliat were the
grounds of the application, and then
hunt up the receiver of tlte pension.
One sturdy, athletic matt in receipt of
tho full pousion for total disability was
found to bo the champion wheelman of
his village; another pbysioul wreck, to
tally disabled and in receipt of n pen
sion whioh was to keep his body and
soul together, was found to be tbe owuer
or a very comfortable estate, and when
visited was engaged ia shingling his
barn; others were healthy, capablo men,
earning good wages or salarios, yet
drawing pensious for total disa ility.
Iu almost every villago and ueighbor-
hood throughout the north the tinder
serving pensioner is to he found. Every
body knows from one to a score of
cases where the peusion has been ob
tained by perjury and Is received in
fraud. *It is this general knowledge
that has evoked the indignant protest
against the pension roll of a million
names, of which it is evident that some
thing like one-half must have been
placed there by perjury and fraud. The
pension system is rotten, rotten to the
very core, and General Sickles lias
ranged himself oo the side of the sharks
and suborners of perjury who have
labored successfully and profitably to
make it a roll of dishonor. It is aston
ishing that a man of his reputation
should take up the oudgols with so much
earnestness iu support of the rascally
pension agents whose fraudulent de
signs Pension Commissioner Evans has
striven to thwart.
