The people of Louisiana are again at their
once favorite occupation of keeping the
negroes away from the polls by force Of
arms, Does it never occur to the dominant
race in Louisiana and Mississippi that in
stead Of devoting their eneryies to shotgun
crusades they should be straining every
nerve to educate their negro neighbors and
fit them for the duties of citizenshipY In
Mississippi there were in 1870 an excess OF
60,5l1 negroes over whites, and III, ,S2G In
1880; and If the two races have increased at
the same rate, Mississippi will have by next
years census, negro majority of $50, ,921, In
total population of ,563,15 Louisiana
has not, probably, so large an excess Of
negroes; but yet the latter are In majority.
At this rate of increase the tims will come
when ever so mild a race as the negro may
not submit to be overriden by minority
Then there will be trouble. But If. by
liberal expenditures Of their own money,
and by reasonable encouragement Of the
philanthr0pic societies Of the North that are
ready to help the negro, the white people of
the South will qualify the negro for citizen
ship, instead of ruthlessly dIsqualifying,
very troublesome crisis may be averted. The
solution of the great question must be per-
formed principally by the people of the
South. and upon themwil fall the great bur
den of trouble If arbitrary and unjust
methods produce crisis.

The decision lately rendered by the Eng
lish court that Lady Sandhurst cannot take
the seat In the County Council to which she
was elected in the Brlxton division of Lon
don, does not end all the perplexities of the
event which the London Times describes as
'the lawless irruption of the other sex into
the London County Council" The English
Parliament having lately adopted new
local government law, the woman suffragists
assumed that 1t allowed the election Of
women to the County Councils; especially
as 1t allowed women to vote for those Off
GERS, Lady Sandhurst became candidate
In the Brixton Division; Miss Golden for
Bow and Bromley; aud Miss Cons became a
candidate for alderman. All the ladies were
elected. but they all are denied the seats by
decision OF the court that they had no legal
right to become candidates. The Times
says Of their situation: "Wedo not suppose
that anybody will be malicious enough to
proceed against these ladies for the penalties
which they have incurred. But the trouble
does not end with their withdrawal from the
County Council. 1t will probably become a
question whether and how far the election
OF aldermen, In which Lady Sandhurst and
Miss Golden took part, is not rendered in
valid" The "lawless irruption" of the
women has not only required the authority
OF the courts for its suppression. but has
thrown the honorable Council of London
and English conservatism into no little of a
stew. The fact that the women candidates
were able to beat their opponents in the
election does not tend to quiet the furry oc-
casioned by their "lawless Eruption"

There Is distinct trace of juvenility in the
course of the monarchical governments of
Europe In refusing to take part officially In
the celebration Of the French revolution.
They cannot forget the thrill which Europe
Ieit az the establishment OF great republic
within her territory. Never since that time
has any wearer of crown felt entirely Sc
care. The attempt TO ignore the occasion

DIR. Armitage's History of the Baptists
sheds some additional light upon the clause
which crept into the laws of Rhode Island
excepting the Roman Catholics from relig
ious freedom. Hildreth. in the quotation
from his history, published yesterday, said
the date Of this exclusion was not known.
but he was convinced it was subsequent to
the Revolution of 1888. 1t appears that in
1745 there was printed a revision or compila-
tion Of all the laws of the colony since its
first charter, which was called the Revision
Of l745." This revision made reference to a
law said to have been passed in 1868 "a, to
the effect that "All men protesting Chris
tianity. and of competent estates and civil
conversation (Roman Catholics only except
ed).shall be admitted freemen, or may choose
or be chosen colonial officers" This alleged
act is referred to by Chalmers, an English
author, in his Political Annals, London,
Q7S0. Judge Samuel Eddy. who was Secre
tary of State of Rhode Island from 1897 to
1sl9 carefully investigated all the laws of
the colony from the first charter (1643-'44) to
Ills, and could find no trace whatever OF the
act referred to by Chalmers. and contained
in the Revision of 1745." prior to that year.
After giving the proof in detail. Judge Eddy
says: a424E ltl.
Thus You have positive and indisputabe evi.
denee that the law excluding Rom an Catholics
from the privileges of freemen was not passed in
1663-64, but at that time and long after they
were entitled Ito all the privileges Of other citf
zenS.
DR.. Armitage thinks 1t fair presumption
from all the circumstances that the paren-
thetic anti-Cathollc clase was an interpoia-
tion. "The general superstition" be adds,
"of the best historians of Rhode Island is,
that 1t was introduced into a mixed and
irregular digest Of the laws OF that colony,
which appeared in England, by some timid
person, who feared that the English Protes-
tants. would tcomplain that Rhode Island
gave too much liberty to Catholics, and SO
that her charter would be revoked, hence he
yentured to make the Interpolation to save
difficulty" As soon as the interpolated
clause was discovered the Rhode Island leg
islature repealed it.
