Educational QuaIifc tions for Suffrage.
Whatever may be thought of attaching
an educational qualification to the privi-
lege of suffrage general principle its
sudden application in any of the Southern
States at this time would be subject to the
imputation OF political trickery. The oc-
casion for it as a fortifcation of property
owners against ignorant and rash invasiors
OF their rights is no greater now than it
has been for several years past. We might
safely go further and say that it is less now
than it has been in recent years, tor the
average intelligence of both poor whites
and poor blacks all over the South has been
rising steadily ever since the civil war. We
entertain no question of the right of
the State to compel the education Of
all it's inhabitants up to a level high
enough to fit them for the intelligent
exercise of the duties of citizenship. That
right lies at the foundation of the system
of free public schools. Nor are we pre-
pared to deny that the exhibition of such
intelligence upon O reasonable test is
legitimate qualification for suffrage. But
the adoption of such qualification in any
State, North or South, at any time, needs
to be moved by broader considerations
than its temporary effect on a particular
election. AS it is suggested now in respect
to some of the Southern States-for in
stance, South Carolina-it is acknowledged
idential election of 1880 and to be designed
rather to increase the chances of one politi-
Cal party and depress those of the other than
to promote the common public advantage.
Besides, in ordinary fairness, period Of
suspense ought to accompany the adoption
of such constitutional amendment any
where, within which all existing voters
might qualify themselves to avoid exclu-
sion. The operation Of the fourteenth
amendment of the national constitution
upon Massachusetts,, where an educational
limitation of suffrage has long existed, is q
made during the eleven years since the
adoption Of that amendment, and although
no step ever has been taken to reduce the
representation of that State in Congress or
the Electoral College. still the point is well
worthy of the attention of other States
which may design to follow her exam
pie. The fourteenth amendment provides
that when the right to vote at any election
for the choice of Presidential electors, Rep
resentatives in Congress or State officers in
any State sis denied to any of the male in
habitants Of such State, being twenty-one
years Of age and citizens of the United
States, or in any way abridged except for
the basis of representation therein shall be
reduced in the proportion which the num-
ber of such male citizens shall bear to the
whole number of male. citizens twenty-one
years Of age in such State"

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF DADDY TAFT's
DEFEAT.-The Albany IN. " Times
aays the real secret of the recent de-
feat of Daddy Taft 10 the Ohio State
Convention is found in this: that as
Attorney General he issued the orders
to the Federal supervisors which led
up to the preparation of the injustice
which characterized the elections in
many of the States in 1876. The peo-
pie in Ohio, remarks the Times, whe-
Their Republicans or Democrats, are
able to detect the hypocrisy which
wells itself under Republican tvetoes, u
and they would have rebnked Mr..
Taft as they doubtless will his more
fortunate competitor in the conven-
ton. The people overthrow corrupt
pack pay grabbing Republican in Con
gress in 1874, and they will not hest
tate to Dust a Republican Executive
when this issue is fairly presented to
them. The question is simple one,
and no fair mau need falter. Can it
be possible that the appeal of "Stand
by your party" will prevail in such an
important struggle as this If it shall

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the. right side, under the
1 edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss Of men,
DRY, accompanied with painful sen.
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have. been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton Of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer.
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
