cFThe uniform rule of suffrage which

sEFThe uniform rule of suffrage which
it's given ont will be shortly brought up
10 Congress, is no more than the logical
sequence of the interference With the right
of suffrage in the Southern States. Fa-
miliariEe the country with the usurpation
of power over one section, and then prac-
Jtiae tha sama thing 10. the. other. sections.
It threatens to result in similar manner
with the use of military power. Govern
one-third Of the Union with the sword a.
lone. and almost any sort of pretext will
suffice for governing the other two-thirds
in the same way. So long as we keep to
the established government of laws. which
the Fathers originally set up. we shall be
safe; but the moment we transgress that
limit, on any excuse or pretence. we are
all at sea together. We shall soon hear
enough about the imputed intentions of
the founders of the Government in respect
to suffrage. and awake to the surprise Of
having lived so long in darkness which
no public men were able to dissipate till
now. When q party possesses the con-
skill to make ancient laws and
customs read upside down as we'll as
dowuside up, the suspicion ought to arise
that new power is asserting itself above
what has been established, aud that the
callowness Of experiment threatens to su-
persede the ripe wisdom of experience.
But it all ends inevitably in Capitalization
Of power at last.

State Debt.


We copy from the Maryland RepuMi-
can. at Annapolis, the following state
ment in reference to our State debt:
1t has been, with contempt, that we
have noticed the uncalled for attacks that
have so frequently been made upon the
party now in power in this State, by the
Republican journals, charging the Demo-
cratic Legislatures with making such e.
normous expenditures as to increase the
debt Of the State to such an amount as to
almost cause bankruptcy within her Dor
ders.
We have taken the pains to make in
quiries from authentic sources and shall
endeavor to show that these Infamous ar
ticles have not only been ISLANDERS upon
the standing and credit Of the State, but
that they are false in every respect.
We find the exact debt of the State to
be SLIP, 100 IS, and as an offset to
this debt, she hold stocks for the Sinking
Fund amounting to 1851 ,50971. and
productive stocks, on which she receives
interest or dividends amounting to S.
546, $4,000. making a total of stocks held
by the State $7,137, 1911, and on
which she receives interest and dividends
amounting to S429 634 o., or equal to
the interest on 81. 143 9O1 SO of her debt,
which deducted from her entire debt, will
leave s. 56S 2SS 95, on which, she has
to provide interest
f,1rthnr oHeok ko Ill, IT, e
568 288 95-on which she has to pro-
vide the interest-she holds unproductive
stocks and balances due by accounting
officers, amounting to $40, 601. 926. SO,
which. if put on the market, would realize
in round numbers, at the lowest figures,
$50. 900, 100000.
Therefore, we can safely say, our State
has no debt, but on the contrary. holds
stocks sufficient. if put in the market, to
not only pay her entire debt, but leave in
the Treasury a surplus of five and half
millions. Thus we will see that the debt
of the State has not been increased since
the ascendency Of the Democratic party to
power in the State, although, there has
been paid for the purpose of carrying out
the faith of the State, which was pied ged
by the Republican Legislatures of 1864
and 1865, for bounties in round mum bers,
S.. 600 90, in addition to which, the
State has extended to our suffering breth.
rem of the South, assistance amounting to
$120. 0O0. and each year expends for the
purpose Of educating her children in round
numbers $3.50, 900, and to the old and
infrm soldiers of the war of 1912 and
1914. an annual assistance of 100000
is rendered.
Now, we would like our Republican
contemporaries to show us a State in the
Union, that presents as fine a financial
appearance as does our own little State,
and We will show them one that has neither
rendered her soldiers of the war of 1912
or Of the late war any assistaace in the
way Of pensions or bounties, and whose
taxes are double what they are in our own
noble little common wealth. :
