Constitution Makers Think It Would
Avert Negro Supremacy.

A tinge Of sentiment colored the proceedings
OF the Mississippi constitutional convention
yesterday during the progress OF Delegate
John ". Fewells speech in support of the
proposition offered by himself to confer suf-
frage upon women. Mr.. Feveu's resolution
read as follows:
''Resotoed That it is the sense Of this eonven-
tion that it is a condition accessory to the
solution OF the franchise problem that the right
to vote shall be secured bv proper constitu-
tsonal enactment to every woman who shall
have resided in this state six months and shall
be twenty-one years Of age and upward, and
who shall own or whose husband. if she have a
husband. shall OWN real estate situated in this
state Of the clear value of $500, over and above
ali incumbrances. The vote Of every woman
voting In any election shall be cast by some
male elector. who shall be thereunto author
ized in writing by such woman entitled TO
vote. which constitutional enactment not to be
framed 80 as to grant TO women the right to
hold Office"
Under the rules the resolution should have
gone to the committee on elective franchise.
hit by unanimous consent he Was allowed to
take the floor in support Of his resolution.
MIR: Fewell made the most of his opportunity,
| and in a speech of twenty minutes duration
made deep impression on his hearers. He
urged that a special committee be appointed
~ TepOII OH the question, out the cOfnnlfttce
on elective franchises regarded such refer
ence with the instructions suggested as in
frlnging upon the prerogative OF the elective
franchise committee. and after two hours dis
cussion Mr.. Fewell struck out the Objectionable
clause of his resolution and had it referred the
usual way.
Delegate Hudson of Yazoo also offered an
amendment providing for female suffrage wlth
proper and educational qualification This
also embraces the Australian ballot system.
The woman suffrage idea is growing in favor
among the best minds of the convention. and
unless safety from negro supremacy can be
reached by other methods Mr. Fewell's plan or
one similar 10 it will be adopted.
Today the judiciary committee win make its
| report upon the question submitted by the
| convention a few days ago to whether the
fundamental conditions embraced in the act OF
Congress of 1870. readmitting Mississippi into
the Union, are constitutional and binding upon
this convention. II is understood that the
, committee will report against the constitution
ahty of the fundamental conditions. and ad-
wise the convention that they are not bound
by them. The convention will probably ad-
journ until Monday. there being no business
ready for consideration.

Matson did not have enough money to give
them the difference. and they prevailed upon

lsraeltfe, Hebrew, Jew.

From the Hebrew journal.
Our broad national distinction gave us the
name 1sraelite in the time Of our ancient great
ness, greatness to which all people may at
some time in the long future rise, and then we
may again, together with all God-fearing peo-
pie, adopt the name of Israelite. Before our
ancestors were, in national sense, Israelites,
they were Hebrews name which was and is
today a rucc distinction. The word Jew IL a
narrow name, III use for our separate religious
distinction. Nothing could be palmer to US.
Hebrew refers to the race, Israelite refers to
the nation, Jew to the religion.
