that it is, has a provision in its Constitu-
ton that no person shall have the right to
vote or be eligible TO Office who shall not
be able to read the CONSTITUTIONAL the En-
gish language and write his name. This
clause was adopted thirty years ago, and
experience has done nothing but approve
it. While Boston, like other large cities,
is often the prey OF self-seeking rascals,
there is as n rule no better local govern
ment anywhere in the country than in
Massachusetts because it is based on intel
ligence. The adoption OF an educational
test for voters has been more than once adj
vocated by political economists as most
proper TO be inserted in the Federal Con-
stitution. But political bosses and dema-
gogues, high and low, are 10th TO surrender
the influences which they can exert on
great masses OF ignorant voters. Intelli-
gence does not always discount villainy,
and intelligence is very often not proof
against the allurements OF bribery, but ii is
perfectly fair TO assume that much the
larger proportion OF the 'aoaters' in New
York and Indiana would have had no votes
to sell ii living in Massachusetts. The
States Of the South, above all others, have
every incentive, for their own well being,
TO institute an educational test.

MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL.
FRIDAY. DECEMBER 7, 1899


The Legislative Council yesterday fixed
the tax rate ut go on an assessment Of
about $4,000 Last year the ratio was
2.35 on an assessment Of 100000. The
Commissioners explain that this Is prac-
tical reduction OF 10 cents in the rate be-
cause the increase is only Is cents,
whereas tho purposes for which new
revenue must bo provided make a
total rate OF 50 cents" The Com.
missioncn charge of 100000 Of
the S2LO0O,OOO 10 delinqucnts and err
ros, leaving S23,0Oo,0OO Of the assessment
available. The Citizens Protective Union,
however, in submitting q plea Tor lower
taxation. makes out a different ease alto.
gcihor The Union shows that 2.Sj ON
SlIO00,OOO yielded S30O,jOO, but It admits
the necessity OF now revenue. and adds
$1,000 on that account, fixing the to.
Cal at SjiG,O00, Il the departmental
expenses OF last year shall be the
same this year. The Union, therefore,
says Treating the assessment Tor the
present year at S2LOoOOOO, ~ per cent
tax will yield $4,000. or $500 more
than was paid last year, with the addi-
tional charges added" Therefore We llud
the Union and the Commissioners 90 cents
apart This Is very much OF q difference.
Tho Union mnkcs no allowance ior errors
and dclinqucncics except In It's $4,000
surplus, while the Commissioners allow -
per cent or SlO00oOO. Now II We take
the Commissioner estimate Of $4,000, 900
rs fair, and the UNDERESTIMATE Of cxpcndi-
lures S5lG, 300 a. fair. We lind that a mte
Of 2.27 or 8 cents less than the present
rate would bc sufficient We discover
consequently, In ,hc difference bciWocn
2.2I aud 2.GO-33 cents the increase Of
the dcpartmcnlalcxpenscs. The Commits.
soncrs point TO the estimates OF depart
mental expenses aud challenge criticism,
aud the public Is at q disadvantage
for the want Of accurate understanding Of
the additional imperative needs Of tn,
departments. But the fact remains thai
the people will iccl somewhat sore over
the showing. II has been confidently
expected that the increase OF the asscss
inenL amounting to over 80 per cent,
would. Notwithstanding the necessity ioi
new revenue. growing out Of increased
interest charges aud the water cohlmct
result 10 a diminuion Of tho tax rate. i
Is very Disappointing that the Commits
sioncr could not have seen their VA
clear 10 a reduction In the rate, and ID,
public will make rs ruE Arrr,L ha
done, critical comparison between tn
bulge, aud the statements OF the FRO
toctiyc Union.

COLUMBUS, Miss, Dec. 6.-The follow

Chief Of Police, Columbus, Miss;
Arrest II. r. Hawcs. engineer on the Georgia

day. Wanted here for child murder. Answer II
left A. q. PIcKARD, Chief Police.
The officers answered at once that Mr..
Halves had married and had left for Au-
gusta with his bride.
The news OF bis arrest in Birmingham
last night has caused no little excitement
and surprised here. Mr.. Halves has been
running into Columbus ever since the road
was completed, and has always borne a
good character, both with the officials
aud with his associates, who will not
believe that "Dick" ever thought OF COM
hitting such crime, and are firm in the
belief that he will prove his innocence
when his trial comes Off The friends
OF the bride are overwhelmed at the
great misfortune that has followed SO
close upon the heels OF anticipated hap
piness. Mrs. HAYES will reach here to-
morrow and remain with her parents until
after her husbands trial.

appearance of the case. 4 dispatch from

Secretary Allison reiulcs all tho state

Times reporter The Governors charge
Of trcachcry indicates that somebody ex-
posed something that was intended to be

worse.

BIRMNGHAM, Ala, Dec. 6.-The little
girl who was found dead in East Lake on
Tuesday has been identified rs May
HAYES, the daughter OF r. Il. Halves, an
engineer on the Georgia Pacific, and the
father is in Jail charged with her murder.
Her mother and younger sister are also
missing since Sunday. Many fear
that they have met an equally
horrible death at the hands
OF the father and husband. Halves claims
that he was divorced from his wife in At
lanta in October, but a telegram from the
officials at that place denies his statement.
Yesterday afternoon he was married sec
ond time. This time to Miss Harry, OF
Columbus, Miss. Just about an hour after
his marriage IL was learned here that the
little unfortunate was his daughter and
the absence OF the mother, father and
sister caused suspicion. The chain OF
evidenceris n very long and intertangled
one, but il is sufficiently strong TO. have
warranted the arrest Of Halves as he was
passing through the city with his new wife
about midnight last night en- route to the
East on bridal tour. lie was taken from
the car and his wife put IN the care OF an
acquaintance. He was shown the child
| this morning. He recognized il rs
his, but denies any knowledge
| OF its death. lie saws the mother and the
! two girls disappeared on Sunday morning,
| but six witnesses swear that they saw May
with him Monday night. Halves is in
| Jail, and the Jail is guarded against a
mob. The militia OF tho city was
called out tonight, but after short while
was ordered to break ranks. The man.
new wife is n most attractive young lady,
and is Frustrated by the blow. She says
Ilawes told her he was widower. Tie
case is a dreadmlly mixed one, and i'm
plicates several others besides Halves. The
evidence before the coroner will not be
completed for several days yet.
