NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

COLONEL w. L. ROYAL, who is Dem
ocratic politician of prominence in Vir-
ginia, announces himself a candidate for
Congress and says that if elected his aim
will be the disfranchisement of the negroes
by the repeal of the fifteenth amendment
to the Constitution. There are a good
many loyal people in this country who
agree with Colonel RoYALL that the blacks
ought not to have been given the privilege
of the ballot. The negroes were not pre-
pared for suffrage. They were not
much more than half. civilized; they
We're ignorant, uneducated and low in the
scale OF morals. 1t was wrong to entrust
them with the mighty power which the bal
lot gave and which power they would
necessarily abuse. 1t would have been far
better to delay their acknowledgements until
such time at they had learned to appreciate
the privilege of voting, and until they had
developed akeener sense Of the responsible
ity Of full citizenship.
However, having had citizenship confer
red on them, and been given the right to
vote, it is more than idle to talk about their
Acknowledgement. Itcannot be done. Men
will not consent to it. The only way in
which it could be brought about would be
by bloody revolution, and that is improb-
able. The agitation Of the question, the
discussion of the justice or injustice of the
matter will all amount to nothing Hav-
ing been given the right of suffrage, the
negroes will work out their destiny as citi-
zens in the fullest sense of the term, in
spite of the desires of the people of the
South who are the greatest sufferers from
negro suffrage.

should be, so far as its management by the
attorneys was concerned. The effort was
first to obtain an intelligent fair and impair
not be claimed that the defendant
was favored more than the law guarantees,
or that his friends and sympathizers found
places on the panel. The prosecution was
as vigorous, earnest and capable as the
most pronounced enemy of the accused
could have desired, and there was GER
tainly no Withholding of testimony, every
body, apparently, who knew anything bear
ing on the case, or could put bad phase
on the killing, giving his evidence,
many of the witnesses testifying with
manifest enmity towards the defendant.
The attorneys for the accused were GER
tainly not allowed wider latitude than they
were entitled to. The remarks of the
judge after the jury had brought in the
verdict told too plainly how his honor
wanted his charge to be taken and applied.
And Notwithstanding all this, the advan-
tage, if any, being on the side of the prose
cution, the twelve men, not one of whom
was his personal friend, and the majority
of whom belong to the class which is con-
fessedly the opponents of the social, politi
cal and religious societies of which the ac-
cused is a member, promptly found Mr..
SPENCER not guilty. The verdict is a
righteous one. No iuryman will find
in it anything with which to smlte his con-
science, and all the jurors well know that
the public, almost without exception, are
with them in acquitting the defendant

THE VERDICT.

We doubt that there is more than one
fair-minded and honest man in this terri
tory who does not agree perfectly with the
jury in its verdict in the HOWARD SPENCER
case The solitary exception seems TO be
Judge JUDD, and we must think that the
reason why he occupies the lonely position
is because he does not understand the case
He appears to be blind to everything save
the single fact that Sergeant PIKE was
killed by SPENCER, whereas the Jury
and the public generally have taken
into account the circumstances and
conditions surrounding the killing and
the case. Killings are not always willfl
murders. They are sometimes excusable.
sometimes justifable and sometimes praise
worthy. This assertion is based on law
Justice and good common sense. 1t seems
to US that if there were ever an instance of
iustifable or excusable taking of human
life, that was case when HOWARD
SPENCER shot Sergeant PIKE. The jury,
which patiently and intelligently listened
to all the testimony, was of this opinion,
and none but words in commentator of the
verdict have been heard. save those uttered
by his honor.
THE HERALD is not going over the case
this morning. The readingpublic has been
made familiar with all the facts during the
weeks trial The older inhabitants have
hem familiar with the circumstances for
thirty years. The popular judgment al
ways has been, as the legal verdict now is.
that SPENCER did as the ordinary human
being would have done and viii ever do
under the circumstances. 1t seems
to US that to expect a man to do
less would be to regard him as less
than human, and lacking in the motives,
the sentiments and the passions which di-
rect the actions of the individual members
of the race. You may call this lawlessness
if you please, but in doing so you must
assert that the law is equally opposed to
human nature, which is as old as the race,
and will exist while the race continues.
The trial was conducted as any trial

II there is any one thing which the people of
Dakota want from the law -makers, more than
all others, It is information as to the laws
which they enact. In many states laws be-
come operative after their passage and publl-
cation. Here they 60 into effect Immediately
without any possibility Of any one finding out
about them for several months, except by
chance or runor, and then the sending at .
good deal Of expense for written copy Of any
particular law. Crimes are not infrequently
created, defined and made punishable for
months before 1t is possible for the public to
ascertain what these newly invented crimes
are. Important laws, regulating public and
private business the rights and liabilities Of
buyers and sellers, the obligations of contracts
and the duties Of public officers, are frequently
put into effect months before any one, even q
lawyer, can CLEAN suspicion Of their exis.
tence. No law should 60 into effact until It 10
at least made reasonably possible for the peo.
pie to know what it is.
There is no way In which this can be mofe
easily reached than by providing for the pub.

adjournment of the legislature. Then instead
Of being obliged to pay from five to twenty
dollars for certified copy Of some new law,
or three or five dollars for copy Of all Of them
after several months, every newspaper reader
would be provided with full copy Of all new
laws Immediately, and the few cents that this
would cost, would never be noticed by tho
general public.
Therefore we say to our legislators, let US
have the results Of your labors at once, IL you
are not ashamed Of them; provide for the i'm
mediate publication Of the laws, and pay q
good price for the work just as you do for any
thing else. Why should newspaper men be

and forced to work for the merest beggarly
compensation, or else not at all?-TSnles-
