Jorod citizens pcrmitted to cast their votes
evcept under some such corrupt arrangement
as our Mississippi correspondent mas desc'loeo'
an arrangement only less scandalous thah the
wrongs and outrages il seeks to avert. mere
is no question of fact as 70 the character Oh
Southern elections The figures show 1t, ana
Southern Democrats frankly admit 1t ana at
tempt 10 defend it. In the elections OF 1883
thesc very States cast total vote OF 576,i4l /.
That was the exact number OF people, accord
mo to their own records. who participated III
the voting. and the thirty-four members OIL
Congress coming from those states are 'ho
representatives of that many people. New
York, on the other hand cast grahd to'ai oi
321.147 With a vote nearly three times As
great as the combined vote OF these i've oouth-
ern States. New-York has only as many Con-
grcssmen as they, and the reason Is that thc
white marty of these States does not allow the
black party to come to the polls.
Such condition of affairs as these facts
proye cannot endure much longer. and 1t Is
greatly to be hoped that the constitutional
Convention. which has been brought INTO eA-
istcncc in Mississippi more for the purpose OF
dealing with il than for any other, VIII nave
the good sense to realize that the country Will
not tolerate the weapons OF the methods tha'
are being employed to sustain white supremacy
in the South. The bill which has just passed
the House is an expression of this sentiment
Il means that the man who has the right TO
vote shall have the opportunity to exercise
his right. II means that the 100000 white
men Of Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia
Alabama and Florida shall not 50 to Congress
with as much power as the 1,4oO,O voters
If New York. The methods that are beng
used 70 defeat this bill are Strlkingly char
ac;e,is,ic of the party and the cause they de-
fend. The Senators representing these oO0,ooo
white men. eight more in number than those
who represent the 1,i00,000 of New-l ork'

They are shamclc>>ly abusing the rules of the

HJVTS IRON MISSISSIPPI

An instructive letter was printed in THE
TRIBUNE yesterday aprOpOS OF the Mississippi
Constitutional Convention which Is now III
session at Jackson. Those Republican Sen
ators who are inclined to question the wisdom
or the expedcncy, or both, of the new Flee
tions bill should carefully read this letter. 1t
goes directly at the heart Of the question
whether such a measure as the House of Repre-
sentatiyes has passed is demanded in order
IN give the legal voters of the land and par
ticularly of the South, the rights i'll practice
that they have in theory Mississippi Is a
State in which the colOred voters outnumbcr
the white voters, but except i'll half dozen
counties the colored voters cast no votes. They
are part of the free population, and as such
| they are contained within the census enumcra-
ton upon which the right OF representation IN
the House is predicatcd. The white voters,
! who are represented there, have all the ad-
! vantage in the number of their Congressman
] that comes from the existence of the cOlOrcd
population. Their crime pays them double
nroft. They not only obtain representation
without being a majority, but their repre-
| scutation equals in number that % which the
entire population is entitled. This outrage is
rs far-rcachng as the boundaries of the Ma
ton. 1t not only robs the cOlorcd people of
the South. but it cheats the voters of every
State. 1t puts into Congress a set of men who
have no lawful right there, and who arc nearly
three times as numerous as the voting pop
uation which commissions them is legally en-
titled to.
! Is this scrt OF thing q be submitted TOP

The Adirondack Park Association seems to
be fully alive to the necessity of stringent meas
ures to prevent the further destruction Of the
forests in that beautiful and salubriOus region
by ruthless railway builders and lumbermen.
The work in which the association is engaged
is deserving of furtherance and encouragement
by all right-thnking men. The preservation
of the Adirondack forests is matter Of Su-
preme importance to the State. Their loss
will be irreparable. The time for organization
and agitation is now. The Adirondack Park
Association is working in the right direction,
and the leading spirits in it seem determined
to keep up the fight until they carry their point.
The arrangements are now practically com
peted for the ceremonies that Will take place
week from tomorrow in connection with the
transfer OF the remains OF Captain Ericsson
