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.

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."
