THE NEGRO IN ALABAMA
Will tha Constitutional Convention,
which has been called in Alabama, pro
vide. in the cowstltuUon it will frame, for
the disfranchisement of th® negro? The
probabilities are that it will. There is a
strong sentiment throughout the state in
favor of getting rid of illiterate negro
voters.
Whether the Mississippi plan or the
Louisiana plan will be adopted cannot
now be stated with any degree of certain
ty. Both have’their drawbacks. Under
the Louisiana plan the illiterate white®
are permitted to vote while the illiterate
negroes are disfranchised, and Its consti
tutionality is questioned. In Mississippi
there is an educational and property test
and a poll tax requirement. It Is the sup
position that the Illiterate while® find It
easier to pass the educational test than
do the illiterate blacks. Asa matter of
fact, however, the illiterate whiles do not
seem to care much' for the privilege of
voting. The poll tax keeps many thous
ands of them away from the polls. It is
a safe prediction that if provision is made
for a poll tax in Alabama's new constitu
tion it will not be large enough to keep
anybody away from th polls.
If tho Constitutional Convention pro
vides lor the disfranchisement of illiterate
negroes It may be assured that In Ala
bama there is a strong fee.ing in favor of
a white Republican party. The Mont
gomery Advertiser says: “The Advertiser
has more than once expressed the opin
ion that tho total and final elimination of
the negro as a factor in our politics will
result 1n a very considerable growth of
Republicanism In Alabama."
All through the South there are men
voting the Democratic ticket at national
elections w'ho are Republicans In princi
ple. They standi with tbe Democratic
party because they believe the best Inter
ests of the South require that the white
man shall dominate. If the chance for
the negro to get Into office is removed
these men will vote lo accordance with
their convictions. It is practloally certain
therefore that tbe elimination of the
negro from politics means the establish
ment of a white Republican party in the
South.
The states which are disfranchising the
negro favor a white Republican party I —at
;*st tluat Is a fair conclusion. And such
a party would. 1n ail probability, be a
good thing for the South It would en
courage the coming of the best class of
immigrants and the Investment of North
ern capital.
The Democratic party, however, will
continue to be the dominant party in all
of the Southern States for many years.
That party has a firm hold on the plain
people. Its principles appeal to them more
strongly than do the principles of any
other party, and there is every reason for
thinking they will continue to do so. The
constitutional conventions of loth Virginia
and Alabama will be watched with deep
interest by the people of those Southern
states which have not yet taken steps
towards disfranchising illiterate negroes.
A CHANCE FOR MR. CARTER.
Former Capt. Carter Is to be given
a chance to show that there is no founda
tion for the charge that he assisted in
swindling the government out of more
than $2,000,000, one-third of which found
its way into his pocket. Attorney General
Knox has been instructed to
institute proceedings for the recovery of
the part of the “swag" which. It is al
leged, Mr. Carter got.
It is probable that the government
knows where the securities are which are
held for Mr. Carter, and will seize them,
but before it can deprive him of them It
must show that they were purchased with
the proceeds of the frauds with which he
Is charged. *
Mr. Carter has always claimed that he
is innocent of the crime for which he is
now serving a sentence in (he military
prison at Leavenworth, and that he
should be given a chance to show his in
nocence. In all of the proceedings which
have been instituted for his release from
prison he ha* declared that one of the
object® be had in view In seeking hi* lib
erty was to prepare to meet the Indict
ment pending against him In the United
in this judicial district.
In the proceedings for the recovery of
the money alleged to have been obtained
fraudulently from th* government, it can
be shown whether or not the money he is
known to have had to the amount of
more titan $700,000, came into Ms posses
sion legitimately. A* a matter of fact
Mr. Carter will not have to prove any
thing. The government will have to show
it* right to the money. If It cannot do
that Mr. Carter will be in a better posi
tion than at ary time since he was re
quired to appear before the court-martial
which convicted him.
Evidently the government thinks It has
proof sufficient to convince a Jury that
the securities which are held for Mr.
Carter were purchased with the proceeds
of the frauds for which he was convict
ed. In fact, It has been stated many
times that the stolen money had been
traced directly to him. The government's
agents, it Is stated, have don* auch ex
cellent work In the case of Mr. Carter,
and his alleged partner* In the conspiracy,
that the government knows exactly what
became of pretty nearly every dollar that
was realized from the river and harbor
frauds.
The Carter court-martial attracted wide
attention, but wot more than a suit to
recover the stolen money will. No doubt
the attorneys of Mr. Carter wiil make
as hard a fight to prevent the government
trom getting his securities as they have
thue far made to get him out of prison.

1 Senator Magee Informed him that the
Investment had Increased to $484,000.
This is an Interesting story and will
likely make an impression on the court
if It ever reaches a legal tribunal. But It
Is doubtful If any court would allow
a doctor SIBO,OOB for such services as Dr.
Brqwttiag rendered Senator Magee, un
less there existed a contract permitting
such a charge. There is no doubt of
course that Dr. Browning Is an able physi
cian, and that he rendered Senator Ma
gee good service, but In the absence of
a contract Hw charge seems to be an un
reasonable one.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ATTACKED.
The remarkable growth of the Chris
tian Science cult wltliin the past few
years has brought the minister* of the
gospel boa realizing sense of the fact
that strong efforts must be made to coun
teract it; that Christian Science cannot
be poohpoohed and passed by as un
worthy of notice, but must be met with
appeals to reason that will be conclu
sive to the minds of investigators. When
Mrs. Eddy’s book first appeared it at
tracted very little ■ attention from the
ministers. They regarded it more as the
creation of a cracked brain than any
thing else. But within the thirty-odd
years that It has been before the public
Mrs. Eddy has acquired a following esti
mated at approximately 1,000,000 persons,
and the "church" a property valued at
upwards of $12,000,000. Evidently, there
fore, there Is some sort of force in the
book that Mrs. Eddy has written and
the doctrine that she teaches.
Among those who have come forward
to show that Mrs. Eddy is a falße pro
phet, and that her teachings are unchris
tian and dangerous in the highest degree.
Is the Rev. William P. McCorkle, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church, In this
city. Mr. McCockle’s book, under the
title of "Christian Science; or the False
Christ of 1866,” has been recently Issued
by the Presbyterian Committee of Publi
cation, and has therefore the seal of ap
proval of the great denomination in
which he is a representative.
It may be said that Mr. McCorkle
worked practically In collaboration with
the Rev. Dr. Buckley, editor of the
Christian Advocate and a leader in the
Methodist Churoh, In the preparation of
his book, since lie gives credit to Dr.
Buckley for much of tho material used
In the discussion of the mental healing
feature® of the new gospel propounded by
Mrs. Eddy. But Dr. Buckley, In hts
book, did not undertake to present a refu
tatlon of the woman's theological vaga
ries, possibly at the time deeming tha
task unnecessary. But time has shown
that such consideration of the matter is
necessary, and it Is to this feature that
Mr. McCorkle gives especial attention.
He believes, and undertakes to show', that
Christian Science 1 an exhibition of anti-
Christian spirit and unscrtptural doc
trines; in which he succeeds very well.
Mr. McCorkle makes frequent quota
tions from Mrs. Eddy’s book. have
been numerous editions of the work. He
tries to confine himself to the latest ones,
because he finds "it is one among the pe
culiarities of Mrs. Bdjjy’s distinctively
feminine inspiration that it always leaves
her the womanly prerogative to change
her mind." Thus, in several of thq edi
tions there are changes as compared with
editions of earlier or later date. At the
very beginning the author makes it plain
that he considers Christian Science a
“pseudo-soienoe and a false Christianity.”
If the matter were not altogether se
rious, some of the claims put forth by
the Chriestian Scientists would appear to
be positively ludicrous—funny'—in the
light of the way in which they are ex
plained or replied to. This applies espe
cially to the "healing” claimed to be per
formed by the Scientists. That "God is
ail, and bumps are nothing," is one of
the tenets of the new faith. But bumps
and bolls refuse to be explained away.
“If the science of life were understood,"
argues Mrs. Eddy, "it would be found
that the senses of Mind are never lost,
and that matter has no sensation. Then
th* human limb would be replaced as
readily as the lobster’* claw—not with an
artificial limb, but with the genuine
one.” Nevertheless the Scientists have
never been able to grow anew arm, like
the unthinking lobster.
The spiritual and religious side of tlie
matter i* treated exhaustively by Mr.
McCorkle, who concludes that Christian
Scienoe "originated in conscious charla
tanism and fallacious reasoning, if the
testimony rf Its founder Is to be be
lieved. - ' Christian Science is both a
foul Imposture and a heresy ominous of
danger to the churoh of Christ, and a
peril to Immortal eouls. It Is so-called
science which Ignores God-given facts; a
religion which thrusts aside a God-given
revelation; a theology which abolishes
God while pretending to deify mortal
man; a Christianity which, after dishon
oring Christ by every possible denial of
hi* word, presents him to us as a phan
tom Saviour—a Saviour who never did
and neve* can save a eoul. • * dn a
word. It Is a philosophy without wisdom,
a science without facts, a theology with
out a God, and a Christianity without a
Christ.”
A 810 LABOR UNION.
Labor docs not Intend to be behind cap
ital In th* matter of combination®. In
our dispatches yesterday It was stated
that at Pittsburg on May 5. a movement
will bo started for the organization of the
Central Labor Council of the United
States.
The purpose of thi* organization Is to
combine all the labor unions of the coun
try under one management with the view
of operating them against truata. It will
be a difficult matter of course to got the
various labor unions to delegat* authority
to one central, controlling body, to act
for them on all the Important labor ques
tion* that may arise, but very able men
will take part in a movement of that
kind—as able in their field of endeavor
as ar* the men who have been Instru
mental in forming trust*.
Rut will there bs a healthy condUPin

trill ha erf swan vagi ptegs* ittaw test hasl-
ness and industries of all kinds will be
paralyzed. And If a strike should be of
a character to bring distress upon work
men and their families, and there should
be manifestations of violence, it is evident
that there would be troublous times, such
as have never been seen during labor
strikes and lockouts in this country.
There would be a condition of affairs
such as only the government could deal
with, and unless a strong man were presi
dent—a man ready and willing to uphold
tbe government' at any cost, as was the
ease in 1894—there would be revolution.
Il may be, as claimed, shat trusts are
•the natural evolution of business, but
they are going to present problems as dif
ficult of solution as any the nation has
yet had to deal with. The way the in
dustrial situation is shaping Itself is Well
calculated to cause even the most opti
mistic to be conscious of a feeling of un
easiness.
In Pennsylvania the other day a Hun
garian made application for citizenship.
Among other questions, the Judge askea,
"Who is President of the United States?”
"Mark Hanna,” replied -the applicant.
“Why do you think so?" usked the Judge.
By way of reply the applicant pulled
from his gocket a newspaper and pointed
to an editorial sentence which read:
"Notwithstanding the claim of the Re
publicans, Mark Hanna is President.”
The Hungarian was passed, and became
an American.

et brunt COMMENT.
The Nashville American (Dem.) say*:
“The abuse and debasement of the suf
frage privilege has been almost a curse
to the South—an Injury to whites and
hluck* alike; in no honest way ha* it
been a benefit to either. Good govern

merely from a race and party point of
view.”
The Charleston Post (Dem.) say*: "The
labor agitators have gotten Into the
Southern cotton mill* and are trying to
dUturb the harmony that has long pre
vailed between employer* and help In this

A Little Glrl’a Revenge.
Elsie's papa was a well-known clergy
man, says the Milwaukee Sentinel. Elsie
was given a handsomely bound Bible as
a Christmas present from her father,
when she had hoped for a certain talk
ing doR that she didn’t get. Elsie bot
tled up her anger and waited quietly for
her chanoe for revenge.
Elsie’s papa had a birthday last week.
That was Elsie's chance. The papa was
shockingly bald. There was not a hair on
the top of his head—he had, in truth, a
"shining intellect.”
The birthday presents were being hand
ed around, but Elsie’s eyes gleamed in
anticipation of her revenge, as ghe waited
till all the other gifts had been given to
the papa who had given her the present
she had no use for. Then her turn came
She handed out a small package, which
wa® found to contain only a comb and
hair brush. Elsie was demure, but her
father understood.

until one day a ruffian, taking offense at
his outspoken manner, struck him a vio

the liquor spoiled my friend's eleven dol

glass penetrated the ruffiian’s hand and
gave him blood poisoning, and he sued my
friend for damages. Yes, sah. And
anothah friend,*a Young man, carried his

Yes, sah. And now what's a gentleman

While on the China station in the Del
aware while a “younker,” Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans had some interesting
experiences. He described one of them in
"A Sailor’s Log,” published by the Ap

"A party of us—youngsters, of course—
figured out a scheme by which we could
beat the Chinese gambling game known
as ’fan-tan.’ Our system was carefully
gone over, and the more we examined it
the more certain it appeared that we
had only to play long enough In order to
amass great wealth. Finally, we made
out plans to go to the Portuguese city
of Macao, some fifty miles away and
clean out the gambling shops there first,
as they were reputed to be more wealthy
than the 'Chinese dens in Hong Kong, and
wealth was what we were after. Some
of our shipmates heard of our scheme,
and, being convinced of the soundness of
our system, intrusted us with various
sums to be invested for their Interest—
the foundation of their fortunes, as it
were. Four of us finally set out on this
Important excursion, reached Macao safe
ly, and, having secured comfortable rooms
at one of the best hotels, began our
breaking process on one of the large gam
bling houses. For a time’ we did well,
and it really looked as if we were going
to get .the best of the game; but the
banker eventually struck the weak
point in the system, and we went
home at 3 a. m. with Just money enough
to pay our hotel bill and our fare back
to Hong Kong. We did not hear the
last of that expedition for many a long
day."
The Old Pamillnr Phraae*.
From the London Chronicle.
The old'familiar phrases are to go,
(So rumor says)—it is the worst of
- cases—
For Journalese will lose the charms we
know
And minor poetry its saving graces.
Alack! they’ll “come to an untimely endr’
(So will that phrase), and leave naught
life to sweeten,
There soon shall be no “traffic" to "sus
pend”
And no "certificate" that Is "unbeaten.”
Soon shall “retiring Into private life"
Forbidden be as “with the truth to
palter,”
And Chloe shall be mad* her Strephon’s
wife.
Not "led unto the hymeneal altar."
’Twill cease ’'transpiring" in a little while.
And no "performance" we shall find
“commences,”
No malefactors "lie In durance vile"
And nowhere rise "commodious resi
dences."
“Considerable altitude" shall'be
A term whose use the purists put a
tax on,
And “the immediate vicinity”
Be superseded by the curteet Saxon.
"Money” shall ne’er "be easy”—woe Is
me!—
Nor markets have a "healthier tone pre
vailing,"
And "powers of limited extent" shall be
Among the powers that we class as fall
ing.
Last, we shall lose, and losing. I’ll give
praise,
(This I, as drapers say, should have
commenced with)
"Declined with thank*.” for thi* famllar
phrase,
And all It* synonyms may be “dispensed
. with.”

—Wolves are becoming so numerous In
the woods of the upper peninsular ot
Michigan that about as many deer are
killed by them in the closed season as
there are by hunters in the open season.
It is suggester that the bounty be made
$25 per head, as men would then make it
a business to kill them for the money
there would be' In it, and before long tbe
species would be practically extinct, as
far as Michigan was concerned.
—ln the district court of Logan county,
Oklahoma, the Guthrie and Western Rail

—President Loubet is one of the best
guarded rulers in Europe. A flying brig
ade of police agents, in civilian costume,
has heen created to follow the president

ford a view of the greatest grandeur,
says the Railway and Engineering Re
view-. “A test recently made by- officials
of the passenger department with an
electric searchlight convinced them that
marvelous effects could be secured. Ac
cordingly arrangements have been made
tor several similar searchlight* to be
erected on the high banks overlooking the
falls from the Canadian side. The elec
tric power Is derived from the rapids,
and the illumination will take place dur
ing the passage of all trains after night
fall. The most superb view will be from

—A Wilmington, Del., dispatch says:
Officers of the British steamship Saxollne,
which came Into port this morning from
Cette, France, to load oil, brought two
sea heron*, one with a broken wing, and
the other, Its mate, that refused to desert
the wounded bird. It is uncommon for
these birds to get into midocean, yet when
the Saxollne’s voyage was but half over
the birds flew Into the rigging, one break
ing its wing by staking against a yard
arm. It fell to the deck, was picked up
by an officer of th© steamship and plac
ed In an improvised cage. Its mate stead
fastly hovered over the ship until finally
the door of the cage was opened Instant
ly the second heron flew from the rigging
and entered the cage, where it remained
with the disabled bird.
—The use of formalin for the preserva
tion of zoological specimens is now very
general, says the Pharmaceutical Jour
nal. Its application to the preservation
of plant® and flowers, however, Is quite
new. The most satisfactory results are
obtained with a 5 per cent, solution of
formaldehyde, 1. e. an eighth of the
strength of the commercial formalin,
which contains 40 per cent, of formalde
hyde. The flowers and portions of plants
immersed in this and kept in the dark
remain intact, while the tissues become
more or lee® translucent, showing the
structure. After 17 rtiouth® yellow cal
ceolaria flowers lose but little of their
color, while a tulip end hyacinth lose
about 30 per cent. A white tulip becomes
translucent, but retains its external form
perfectly. The odor of mignonette is stilt
perceptible after four months, notwith
standing the penetrating odor of the form
alin itself. Unfortunately the solution
soon bleaches blue colors. The preserva
tive action of the formalin is due to its
destroying all external micro-organisms
and preventing the inter-action of the’
plant cells by contracting their protop
lasm.
—"lt is well known,” Popular
Science News, April, “that colors can be
produced without the use of dyes or
paints by mean* of that peculiar phenom
enon of light called ‘interference.’ An In
stance is afforded by the rainbow hues of
a soap bubble due to the Interference of
the light reflected from the front and back
surfaces of the thin Aim. Th* colors of
butterflies are also caused by Interference.
In tbe soap-bubble and In all cases of
the ‘color* of thin plate,’ as these phe
nomena are called, the color depends upon
the thickness of the film. A brilliant play
of color has been produced by coating
sheet* of paper with collodion, hut the
color was largely a matter of chanoe and
the method had no practical application.
Recently, however. Prof. Charles Henry,
of the Sorbonne has succeeded In obtain
ing brilliant Interference colors of any
desired .hue. He uses mixtures of turpen
tine, gum damar. and asphalt with benzln.
The coatings, which are many times
thicker than the film of a soap-bubble,
are not easily destroyed, and the colors,
which of course are permanent, can be
altered and strengthened at pleasure. An
imitation of the skirt of a snake with its
brilliant metallic color* attests tbe per
fection of the method.”
—Selenium and it* compounds arc
known to be highly poisonous in their
nature, and as regards their action on
the body their effect* resemble those pro
duced by arsenic, says the Scotsman.
One authority say* concerning (he action
of selenium on the body, that It might
readily be mistaken for (bat of arsenic
it*lf. It i* not intended to be wuggeet
