The Supreme Court on the Ala*
bam a Case.
From tlie Pliiladelphia Record.
The decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the
suit of a colored person named
Jackson A. Gilea against the
board of Registration in Mont¬
gomery, Ala, affirms once more
the constitutional doctrine that
general regulation of the exer¬
cise of the suffrage belongs ex¬
clusively to the political domain
of the several states. Although
the Fifteenth "“Amendment de¬
clares that the right of citizens
to vote shall not be denied or
abridged “on account of race,
color or previous condition of
servitude,” the Supreme Court
has not undertaken to interpret
the motive of the Alabama law in
restricting the exercise of the
suffrage. While partisans assert
that the restrictions of this law
are on account of race and color,
the obvious purpose of the state
that ordained it is to protect fhe
ballot from the rank ignorance of
a portion of its population. How
then, could the Supreme Court
undertake to deny the rectitude
of this act of Alabama any more
than that of the Massachusetts
law prescribing an educational
qualification for the suffrage? In
fact, there is far greater reason
for applying the qualifications to
the densely ignorant populations
in Alabama and other Southern
states than to the voters of Mas¬
sachusetts. The sincerity of
these Southern states is attested
by the effect of their legislation
lor as soon as the colored voters
qualify themselves for the suff¬
rage the educational test tails to
the ground. With what reason,
then, could the Supreme Court
refuse to give full faith and cred¬
it to the acts of those states in
limiting the suffrage, and hold
that the right to vote is denied
on account of race or color?
A few days ago Representative
Williams, of Mississippi, said on
the floor of the House that no
man of good sense familiar with
conditions in the South would un¬
dertake to challenge the wisdom of
the legislation to limit the exer¬
cise of the elective franchise. I*
is a mere mockery of the princi¬
ples of popular government to
put the ballot into the inapt fists
of multitudes of ignorant people
who do not -know for whom
or for what they are voting, In
the present case the suit related
to the administra'ion of the elec¬
tion laws of Alabama by a board
of registration, the plaintiff
claiming that injustice was done
him in refusing to put his name
on the list of qualified voters.
The alleged injustice consisted
in the decision of the board that
his explanations as to residence
and occupation were not satisfac¬
tory. Obviously the Supreme

Lee to Confederate Veterans.
Gen. Stephen D. Lee, under
date of F’evuary 28th, in a circu¬
lar note, formally announces to
Con.ederate veterans that
he has taken up the duties
of executive head of the United
Confederate Veterans. His note
is a beautiful tribute to General
John B. Gordon. Quotations
from it are:
“The death of our almost idol¬
ized commander, so eminently
fitted for the place by bis splen¬
did war record, his oratory and
his winning magmtism, has im¬
posed a difficult task upon me,
his successor, in keeping up our
organization; doubly difficult
without your continuing to me
the same tender feeling, love and
esteem which you bestowed up¬
on him in such heaped-up meas¬
ure. No living Confederate can
till his place as he tilled it
“In obedience to nature’s laws
in the thirty-nine years since we
laid down our arms, our great
generals and many of the rank
and file who followed them, have
crossed over the river, and the
survivors are but a remnant of
the most valiant army that ever
contended against mighty odds j
and untold resources. We are
so near the river ourselves that
we can almost hear the roaring
of the waters.
“Our commander has fallen,
but the cause for which we toiled
and the principles for which we
fought still live—can never die.
Let us—as we did, in the heroic
days 1861 and 1865, when our
leaders fell in battle and our
commands were thinned by shot
and shell—close up our ranks
and step forward: perpetuate
our great fraternal organization;
and have our sons and daughters
step into our places as we vacate
them, and continue to vindicate
the integrity of our lives and the
ends for which we contended
“The proudest part of my life
is the remembrance that I was
a Confederate soldier. I love the
name and all who bore it. Our
constitution and by-laws have
temporarily made me your com¬
mander until one is elected at
our next reunion. I yearn for a
portion of that tender reg nal
and confidence you gave General
Gordon.
“Let ns be true, even to the
end.”
Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured
William Shaffer, a brakeman of Den¬
nison, Ohio, was confined to his bed for
several weeks with inflammatory rheu¬
matism. “I used many remedies,” he
says. “Finally I sent to McCaw’s drug
store for a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm, at which time I was unable to
use hand or foot, and in one week’s
time was able to go to work as happy as
a clam." For sale by Lewis Drug Co.
