In the first place it is very doubt
full If they would be able to.
1t could only be exercised through an amend
ment to their State constitutions, and an
amendment to the constitution must be rati-
fed by majority at least of the popular vote
before 1t can become operative. Now Hitter
acy at the South is by no means confined to
the negro. There is vast number of whites
In that section who cannot read or write, so
that the amendment in question would not
only disfranchise a large per cent of the
negroes, but also very considerable per
cent of the whites. When the amendment
came to be submitted to the people not only
would negroes oppose it but large number
of whites as well. Under these circumstances
in those States where it is most desired the
amendment would surely be defeated, unless
the negro vote could be suppressed which
would be difficult as there would be large
and determined body of whites to demand and
insist that 1t be counted. In States where the
negro population is small it might go
through, but In those States there is no de-
mand for it and it is not wanted
In the second place, the imposing Of an
educational qualification under the circum-
cumstances, would, in all probability, be
construed by the courts as an abridgment of
the suffrage that would under the four
tenth amendment reduce Southern repre-
sentation in Congress. And the reduction in
such States as South Carolina and Mississip-
pi would be very large. Under the present
method of Acknowledgement, Southern rep
resentation is maintained. and nothing but
greater quickening of the Bourbon con-
science than is likely to soon come about will
incite the Southern people to abandon their
present method, which costs them moth
ing but an occasional row, for one
that will cost them the loss of consid:

The Portland Press thinks the people Of Dako
Ia ought 70 be happy over Mr. Harrison's election
rit0ry TO the Union, though having sufficient ter
ritory, population and all that. Why cannot the
Press come somewhere near fairness? 1t knows
very well tnat The Democrats are willing to admit
Dakota, and have been for years. What thew
nave resisted, and will continue TO resist with
whatever power they have, is rotten Repub-
can scheme TO cut II in two and admit 1t as two
States.-[ Rockland Opinion
The PRESS objects to any such description
OF the wise Republican plan in regard to
Dakota. The Democrats undoubtedly would
be glad il the whole of the great northwest
ern region could come in in lump, with on
ly two senators to represent the great region
of free commonwealths in the upper branch
CT Congress. But it is wise that this should
not be so. Northern and Southern Dakota
are two distinct regions, tapped by different
lines OF communication. and having inter-
ests diverse in nearly every respect This
makes 1t eminently proper that there should
be division on the ground of State interest.
There is still another and better reason. and
that is that Dakota is too large for a single
State. 1t is large enough to make dozen or
two average Eastern States and then have
room to spare. Either half would make fif-
sy-o'6He huOuc lSiauuS. Inc untouched
school land Of the territory would cover Del
aware twice over 1t is about as large as
New England, with Indiana, South Carolina,
New Jersey and Delaware thrown in. With
In its ample borders it could take care of all
the present population of the United States
and still not be so crowded as is Belgium.
There Is no good reason for not dividing
territory Of such tremendous dimension.
Moreover, Dakota has population and wealth
enough for two States. 1t has eleven times
as many people as the State of Nevada, and
In the recent election cast nearly as MANY
Republican votes for one delegate to Con-
gress as the State of Georgia cast for nine
full-fedged Congressman. Dakota is the
home of intelligence, enterprise and thrift
having fewer criminals In proportion to pop
ulation than any State in the Union. No
State south of the Ohio river has so many
newspapers, banks and public schools To
future generations, the division of Dakota
will seem very different from rotten Re-
publican scheme" The only wonder then
VIII be that out of the magnificent domain
there were not secured more than two stars
for the flag of the Union

An Educational Test.

Two prominent Southern papers have re-
Gently suggested as legal method of getting
rid of the negro vote which is now effectual-
ly disposed of by force and fraud, an amend
ment to the constitutions Of those Southern
States in which the negroes constitute
large per cent Of the population, prescribing
ability to read and write as prerequisite
for voting. Such condition is now imposed
by some of the Northern States. Massachu-
sets, we believe, is one of them. There is
no doubt but such a test would disfranchise
large part of the negro population, or that
1t is within the power of the States, under
the Federal Constitution, to impose it. The
fifteenth amendment forbids disfranchise-
ment on account of race or color, but not
upon the ground Of illiteracy. There are
two reasons. however, why the Southern
States aresnot. likely to.exerclse. this right.

Those English laborers who take excep-
tions to the fair picture of their condition
which Sir Lyon Playfair presented to his
audience at Leeds, give some very good
reasons for believing that the condition of
the English iaborer is far below that of his
American brother, in spite Of what Sir Lyon
may be able to show by his selected tables of
wages. Most American laborers' families
eat meat once day or several times week
at least; while in England the head of the
family, the bread-winner, often tastes it but
once week. A recent cablegram also
throws light on another unhappy feature of
the life OF the poor of England. From
report made in the House of Commons week
before last it appears that there are now in
prison 223 children between the ages of II
and Is. One of the most ordinary crimes for
which country magistrates punish the I'M
lucky little creatures is that of pulling up
and eating turnips on somebody else's estate.
Very hungry these children must be to pull
up and eat turnips with the danger of impris-
onment hanging over them. Apples or
grapes might tempt an American-fed boy !;
raw turnips never.

Rumor has it that President Cleveland. is
soon to send a message to Congress on civil
service reform. Among the $4,000 words con-
tanned in his recent message was not single
one on the subject of this reform. Whether
Mr.. Cleveland forgot it, and his supplement
tary message is the result of the jogging of
his memory by the newspapers, or whether he
considered the subjectof such transcehdant
importance as to require separate and dis
tinct treatment is not known. The public
will be glad to know. however, that he has
something to say on the subject. and will hear
with interest what it is-especially. if as is
rumored, he proposes to undertake to prove
that his administration has been run on the
civil service reform idea.

The story that Gov. Hill has given GER
tificate TO Bacon, the Democratic candidate in
the fifteenth New York district, who was de-
feated, instead of Stivers, the Republican
candidate who was elected, lacks confirm
alton and under the circumstances is i'm
probable, inasmuch as Stivers's election
has been generally conceded. even his op-
ponent, Bacon, acknowledging it by sending
him note of congratulation. II it should
turn out to be true, it would be conclusive
proof that the Democrats haG made up their
minds to stealt House, if it could possibly
be done. Hills virtue would scarcely be
sufficient to deter him from issuing false
certificate, but as he is already pretty we'll
loaded down with acts generally disapproved
by the intelligence and decency of New
York, he would hardly deem it expedent
to take in any more freight of that sort at
present.

Connecticut in the care of her insane is
meeting the same problem which the author
tiles of Maine must meet at once or before
many years. The Connecticut hospital at
Middletown now contains 1892 patients,
cared for by 179 attendants, and making
colony of nearly 1900 persons, which is
larger than any one of hundred different
towns in the State. The trustees have there
fore come to the conclusion that this number
should not be allowed to become much
larger; and that new institution, perhaps
less curative place, but more one for hold
ing the feeble minded and incurable, should
be put ~ at some other place.

Diphtheria in the insane hospital has ap-
parently come to stay. There are now more
eases there than at any time since the disease
first made its appearance. The principal
obstacle to getting rid of it appears to
be the crowded condition of the hospital,
and that 1t is impossible to at once remove.
Fortunately the disease has, for the most
part, taken on mild form, so that the death
rate has been very small. Within day or
two measles also has made its appearance in
the hospital,and one person is down with that.
Though mild disease when occurring in
childhood, and attended with little danger,
1t is liable to prove a serious affection when
1t attacks an adult 1t is probable, however,
that very large per cent of the inmates of
the asylum have had this disease, SO it is not
likely to give great deal of trouble.
