SUFFRAGE IN MISSISSIPPI.

The question of establishing an educa-
tional qualification for the right of
suffrage in Mississippi, the effect of
which would be to very greatly reduce
the negro vote OF the state while MAX
ing only n com paratively small red uction
in the white vote, has received no
heartier support from any one than from
the only colored member OF the coustitu-
tional convention, Mr.. Montgomery,
who advocates itas in his opinion the
only solution of the race problem. In
an eloquent speech in support of the re-
port OF the suffrage committee in favor
OF AN educational qualification, Mr..
Montgomery said that his conviction OF
the necessity of such restric tion OF the
franchise was not new. He had held it
before his constituents sent him to the
convention, and had told them that tho
work of the convention, in order to be
successful, must restrict the franchise
10y prescribing such qualification for
voters as would reduce the negro vote
considerably below the white vote of the
state.

spoke OF the debt of the south TO the

that the affections OF the race would re-

4 UNIQUE poLTTtCA L EIGHT.

The marvellous fertility OF western re-
sources is equalled if not surpassed by
the versatility Of its politics. Hereto
fore three political parties were consid-
cred ample to meet all colors and condi
tions of men, but this year "a western
state without a quartette of parties is
painful lily lacking in the progressive
spirit of the times.
The Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas
arc abundantly provided for, yet they
are behind Minnesota in afIording
voters that rich and varied assortment
of political timber with which to con-
struct model government When the
fourth ticket was sprung the average
voter cried enough. Not so with the polit-
ical managers of the National Building
andLoan association. They hungered for
political glory and produced combina-
tion ticket. This aggregation of Shy
locks claim to hold fifteen thousand
votes in the hollow of their palms, be-
sides a capital of forty millions.
The nationals do not seek office. They
are above and beyond the sordid SC ch emes
of politicians but they enjoy u lucrative
business In bleeding their patrons. The
Minnesota law provides for rigid sys-
TEN of examination of these concerns.
The nationals, however, do not take
kindly to the law, and have time and
again intimated that they would prefer
to conduct their business without official
inspection. Last spring the governor
ond state auditor committed political
hari-kari by exposing the rascally opera
tions of one of the nationals and the
manner in which hundreds of people in
that and neighboring states were fleeced,
their monthly dues squandered in huge
salaries, and the surplus loaned to
friendly institutions on insufficient secu-
rity This was u stunning blow to q
thriving local industry, consequently
the officials guilty of protecting the
honor of the state are marked for polit-
ical slaughter.
Minnesota is the home of seven ma
tional associations-good, bad and indif-
ferent. Their interests are common,
and possessing unlimited means wrung
from vast majority OF their patrons
under false pretenses, they make no
secret of their purpose to fight the re-
publican ticket, and wage an uncompro-
missing war on Governor Merriam. 1t
would be a reflection on the character of
the people OF Minnesota to suppose that
these mercenaries WELD the balance of
power in the state. The fact that the
offending officials DISPLAYED their back
bone in investigating and exposing the
national crooks, as the law required, is
sufficient to secure them the active sup
port of every honest citizenof Minnesota.

EX-GOVERNOR RoUTT, who has been

democrats persistenty claimed the state
bulldozed the press agents and succeeded
in keeping the issue in doubt until its
effect on the presidential contest was
lost. The election Of Routt, despite the
tremendous odds pitted against him in
1876, proved his great qualities rs a
