Sherman on Negro Suffrage.

That was a significant remark of Sen.
ator Sherman in the Senate the other
day, that he thought perhaps it would
have been better had the amendment
giving the negroes the suffrage not been
adopted. This was his conclusion after
an experience of twenty years. There
is no doubt that it was at the time dis
tasteful expedient to the Senator and
many of those who acted with him. 1t
was not measure calculated to pro-
mote the immediate interests of the
emancipated slaves, as they were utterly
ignorant and unfit for the duties in
volved IT domination at the ballot box.
1t was not such a policy as Abraham
Lincoln would have favored. He would
have made the approach to that prerog.
alive gradual and the result of prepara-
ton. But the partisanship of the hour
was intole-ant, and it's work is final
ity. Mr. Sherman can not recall it if
he wouid. No wonder there has been
friction and disorder at times, and in
localities, as the sequence of the Sud-
den advent OF million of uatauglt
mon at toe polls, inspired BIZ aslas!ye

OUR CHINESE TARIFF.
The Effect 1t Has Had on Sheep-Raisina
in the United States.

Except during the civil war sheep
raising has been for fifty years de-
clining business in this country for
reasons beyond the control of legisla-
ton. The number of sheep per capita
of population was nearly so per cent.
greater in 1910 than in 1880, and at the
latter date there had been thirteen
years of the highest protection" for

Looking After Local Musical Talent

MI +. W Banner, who is always alive
to the necessity of taking care of Wheel
ing's conceded musical talent, has invited
number of gentlemen who sing, to meet
at his music store Tuesday night for the
purpose of organizing male chorus. After
Il few rehearsals it is the intention to have
this male chorus combine with the Ladies'
Vocal Club and form a grand mix
ed chorus, whose object will be TO
study some of the principal works Of the
old masters, and it is also hoped that it
will be the means of developing talent at
present unknown and bring out new voices
Mr.. Banner will be glad to have anyone
come who can sing and read music, even if
they did not receive an invitation. After
the organization gets fairly under way he
will try and form musical society, such
as was here several years ago and which
weare sadly in need of at present.
The Ladies Vocal Club will meet as
usual on Monday nights until further
notice
