BRAINS VS.. MERCHANDIsE.-In some
remarks rebuking the prurient popular Gu
riosity to know how much Mr.. Dickens
" will make >" by his readings in the I'm tied
States, the New York Tribune very justly
says;
1t is pretty hard to see why a man who
gives up his whole time to the instruction
and entertainment of the public should not
be paid quite as we'll as if he supplied the
community with butter. and beer, and beef,
and cheese, and great-coats, and boots, and
other like merchandise. There is no howl
of public dissatisfaction when a trader
makes 4 great sum BY the astute manipula-
ton of tea and tobacco he is thought to
be clever person, and his fellow-creatures
wish him joy of his luck. He may get
more. simply by writing his name, than all
the authors in England and America by the
production Of innumerable folios and too
often he is the first to express his surprise
at the success of those writing fellows, and
to wonder at the folly of the world which
rewards them, however grudgingly.

CoLoRED SUFFRAGE IN NEW YoRK.-Says

CoLoRED SUFFRAGE IN NEW YoRK.-Says
the New York Tribune of the 25th ult.:
A correspondent asks US 81 in what year
suffrage was conferred on negroes in the
State Of New York what was the complex
ion of the Legislature, and who was Gov
ernor
Under the first and second Constitutions,
or from l7SS to 1923, there was no distinc-
ton of color in the qualifications for voters
there was property qualification affecting
equally both whites and blacks all a negro
had to possess more than white man was
papers or other satisfactory evidence that he
was free person, and not a slave--slaves, of
course, did not vote. The men of the Revo-
luton never doubted the free negro's right to
the ballot. But in 1921 a Convention was
called to revise the Constitution, and then
came the clamor of rich versus poor, and a
grand movement in favor of abolishinp all
manner of property qualifications was in
augurated and successfully carried through
SO far as white men were concerned but a
colored man was required to possess a free
hold estate of $3.50, to be three years an in
habitant of the State. and for the last year Of
the election district in which he voted. This
Constitution was adopted by vote of 14,732
against Al ,402. The Constitution was again
revised in 1916, but the rather feeble effort
made to place colored voters on the same
basis with whites met with very little favor
the only modification being on the minor
point of residence. That Constitution (under
which we now are) was adopted by 22l ,52S
against 92,436.
1t cannot be fairly charged that any party.
as parties now are, is entirely responsible for
this invidious discrimination. Attempts
have been made to remedy the injustice
through the only legal path--amending the
Constitution-but thus far without success.
The vote iu 1916 was S., 406 for, and 224 1856
against; in 1860 there were 1877 ,503 in favor,
and 331 1854 opposed.

BEEF CATTLE SHOULD BE FAT.-Farmers
sell too many of their beef cattle when they in
merely ordinary beef condition. In doing this
there is two-fold loss that but few consider.
The animal yields less number of pounds aud
the meat brings lowerpr Between ordinary
beef and really choice, fat beef, there is always
difference of two or three cents per pound, and
this difference, when added to the whole number
of pounds when the animal is in the best condi-
tion, will be found to be no mean amount.
Nothing pays better than the few bushels OF
grain or the few days upon good June grass, that
puts the finishing touch upon what is generally
denominated good beef animal. Those OF our
readers who have followed this often repeated
advice in our live stock market reports are wit
nesses to its soundness. Do not he In a hurry
to market, under ordinary circumstances, until
cattle are really fat. The same applies to all
other market animals.

IA. Differences of opinion among Attorneys
have existed in this State, as to the limit which
the Act makes as to the time to make applica-
tion in Bankruptcy. Some have supposed that
no debtor win be permitted to apply for Bank
ruptcy after some early day in March, unless he
is able to pay fifty per cent of his debts. We
are assured that this is not the case. The Law
did not go into operation for the purposes for
which it was enacted until June 1st, 1867. 10

debtors, whatever may be the extent of their in
debtedness which they cannot pay, in which 10
