There is nothing derogatory to
the dignity of the States in asking
them to ratify the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution. Con
gress does not put the question in
the shape of a demand. 1t consults
the wishes of the people. 1t re-
quests them to consider whether it
is not best to make the principle of
suffrage uniform in its operation,
and to gise constitutional power to
Congress to make it uniform. 1t
has been shown that, as at present
managed, the right of regulating
suffrage has been abused, and large
numbers Of citizens have been ex-
cluded from the polls simply be-
cause their skins are a few shades
darker than the white mans, and for
no other reason. 1t is desirable to
put an end to this injustice, and the
people simply asked to give to
Congress the power to do it. Is
there anything unconstitutional in
this, or anything outrageous Con
gress. in proposing the Amendment
and the method of its ratification.
has followed literally the directions
given in the Constitution itself II
our people will pause to consider
these things, they will perceive that
that the hue and cry of unconstitu-
tionality is sheer nonsense, and that
they are, as they always have been,
the masters of the situation Ctn.

The Man with the Horrors.


In the small hours of yesterday
morning, when there was a chill
brcez from the north sweeping down
Vine street toward the river, a poor,
dilapidated wretch was stumbling
along Fifth street market, grooming
over many sorrows, and shivering
as the cold air struck him through
the many rents of his garments.
Often he stopped in front of the all.

at the stars and then at the blue and
red sign-lights that told of poison
that could be had for cash. Sway
ing back and forth on the curb, tot
tering along the CUTTERS edge, or
stumbling into the saloon doors. he
was miserable specimen of broken
down humanity at best-not crush
ed out yet, completely, but badly
flattened. Twice his trembling
hand drew from pocket a dirty
paper containing a rusty razor and
pair of squeaking scissors, which he
offered for just one drink. But each
time he was refused.
There was maniac CLEAN in bis
eyes that the bar keepers didn't like.
The poor devil was terribly disap-
pointed. He wanted, just then,
something for which he would pro-
hably have signed away his soul.
Out in the street again he tottered,
into the path of party Of men to
whom he proposed to sell the cut
lery for a dime, ''for I must have
whisky or the horrors The ugly
cleaning of his blood-shot eyes in
creased, and his fingers were tear
ing at his neck tie, that seemed to be
choking him. The men saw his
condition, and thinking that sharp
edged instruments were not proper
pocket-pieces for such case, made
the purchase. Clutching the dime,
the poor fellow dived into a saloon,
gulped down a glassful of something
resembling 3itriol, surrendered the
money, and staggered off to his
attic closet to toss and groan
through his fourth night of terrible
debauch, to face the black cat and
the man with the poker, to see his
boots transformed into imps with
green eyes, to froth at the mouth
and yell murder until daylight

what is Fitness in Marriage {?

1he secret of fitness in marriage is,
NPPoSF'on Of temperament 1rM identity Of
"m'' Partners thus mated are in perfect
> ympathy OF interests and purpose while
the ulfference OF the methods which they
use IN seeking these common interests
supplles stimulus, a novelty, an un-
failing variety to the daily experience of
their lives. Each is thus the compile
ment OF the others nature. One may be
grave,the other gay one mainly intellec-
tual, the other all heart one impetuous,
the other cool and deliberate the most
timid and delicate bride may wed the
sturdlcst and loudest-voiced Ajax of a
husband but these very differences will
be mutually attractive, delightful, adju-
want to married lovers that have a single
heart and will. Unity of purpose, vari-
ETY. OF means toward that purpose-these
are the conditions which lead to the truly
happy marriages.
And when this unity Of purpose and
difference of temperament combine in a
pair whose natures, intrinsically superior,
have been developed by sufficient culture
and warmed by genuine love, do not all
the conditions seem to exist that make
lite as well as marriage happy? When
men and women aspire toward strength,
tineness, nobility of nature in themselves,
and require this intrinsic excellence in
their mates, when they choose their part
ners according to these laws of inherent
fitness, they gain possessions which are
not trivial like the culture with which
the coarsest human grain is often veneer
ed: which are not unstable, like fortune,
which are not mistakes or transient. like
50 much of love. ''Where the superior
man dwells," says Confucius, chow can
there be wretchedness - The superior
man, the superior woman, these are the
prizes in any relation of life and espee-
tally in that of marriage. Finding them,
one need not ask the question with which
| began. Their weIl-mated love is sweet,
their happiness, their highest fortunes, are
secure.-"Io Mary or Not to Marry =
