A NEAT DEVICE IN CONSTITUTIONS
MAKING.

The Mississippi Constitutional Conven-
ton was called for the expressed purpose
of drawing the color line so as to practi-
cally disfranchise the negro, and yet not
cut off from the polls illiterate whites
For the promoters of the Convention
clearly foresaw that the only scheme likely
to stand the test of the Courts would be
one based upon qualification of intelli-
gence.
The Convention has, therefore, after
much t-::5ulation, hit upon scheme that
it is believed will accomplish the desired
result. A provision has been reported
that will probably pass-indeed, that it is
likely has been already adopted-which
requires that the voter shall be able to
read the Constitution, or shall be able TO
understand any section of it when it is read
to him, and that whenever at the polls
section is read to the voter he shall be able
to give reasonable Interpretation of the
same.
The joker in this provision is disclosed
in the word cor" 1t will be seen that
there are provided two distinct qualifca-
tions, either of which may be applied, in
the discretion of the election officers One
is ability of the voter to read any section
of the Constitution, the other is ability to
interpret any section that may be read to
him. If the first only was provided, a
great many white people would labor under
disqualification. But under the new Con-
stitution, when one of this class presents
himself, ballot in hand, simple section,
probably the simplest in the document,
some mere declaratory section, can be read
to him, concerning which the most igno-
rant cannot go amiss in Interpretation.
But when the negro comes to the ballot
box he will be given an intricate section,
one that involves good deal of knowledge
of constitutional law, and concerning
which possibly the Courts are not all
agreed as to its full meaning, or the scope
of its operation. Of the correctness of the
voters Interpretation the inspectors and
judges of election are the sole judges, and
therefore it is given over to them to de-
termine whether the negro shall vote or
not.
So cunning is the scheme that the chief
surprise is that the trainers of the device
consent to proviso that the section shall
not go into effect until the first day of
January, 1896. The probabilities are that
the Courts will crush the life out of the
provision when test case comes before
them. For it is obvious that the scheme
is an unequal one, and intended to evade
the Constitution of the United States. 1t
will probably be held also that the plan con-
fers upon election officers powers that are
not warranted, since it makes them the sole
judges of what is proper constitutional
construction of clauses OF the Constitution,
taken alone and considered abstractly.

THE CASE OF THE COUNT.

The Count of Paris is now nearing our
shores. He will be received cordially at
the East by large number of old soldiers,
because he, too, was a gallant soldier in
the army of the Union in the war of the
Rebellion. That he should be recognized
for that is right and proper.
But another class of people will kiss the
hen of his garments; they will do obeis-
ance before him, because he is royal pre-
tender; because there may be possibility
of the holy oil being poured upon his
locks, while serving courtiers shout "long
live PHILIPPE the Seventh For these
tuft hunters only contempt is to be enter
tanned
The American people are deeply, de-
votedly, inseparably linked to the princi-
pie of free government. They cannot and
do not regard any man as possessing "the
divine right" to rule They will respect
the French pretender for his gallantry in
the service of the greatest of Republics,
but they will by no means lose sight of the
fact that he is now attempting to destroy
one of the youngest of Republics.
1t will be impossible for Americans to
forget that only few days ago the Comte
de Paris had the audacity to write letter
in which he boldly admits that he traded
II - T
for the express purpose of disrupting the
Republic of France. In that letter he
said, 81 take up such weapons as it (his
cause) furnishes me with, and do not re-
greet having made use of these to create
divisions among the republicans" This
may be an expression indicating courage
out in the opinion of many French
lawyers it is treason also.

NEWSPAPER MEN.
The Facility With Which They Furnish
"Copy."

Many an admirer of Rev. DR.. Edward
Everett Hale has noticed his remarkable
literary industry and wondered at the
fecundity of his pen. In an article on
Formative Influences" in the September
Forum he tells how he learned to do his
work so rapidly: 81 have done everything
which an editor or publisher ever has to
do, from directing wrappers up to writing
the biography Of a President within an
hour after his death. This means, If the
training be continued through many years
of life, and if one be under good chief, as
l was, that one gains of necessity the ready
use, at least, of his own language. We
newspaper men may write English very
i'll, but we write it easily and quickly: So
that to us who have been in this business
it is something amazing to hear clergy
man say that he occupied week In COM
posing sermon which was at the outside
$500 words in length. One can under
stand absolute inability to do it at all, but
no newspaper man understands how a man
who can do it can spend thirty-six hours
in doing it.-Sprinqfeld Union.

THE JAMAICA TICK

An U0m VBI&8I0u nuisance Go 40l10n He
ings and to Cattle.
These tiny pests hang in swans on
the blades OF grass. on the leaves and
branches Of trees, on the most graceful
ferns, and on every green thing. The
lady who brushes her skirt against the
verdure on the roadside, the planter
who is experimenting the work on his
estate, equally with the negro laborer
in the cane pieces or on the stock farm,
are liable to be practically covered with
ticks at any minute. OF course, people
who arc able to do so take every precau-
tion to keep clear of their attacks. and
this may always be managed with more
or less success; but they are an ever
present source of worry and annoyance,
and even if whole battalions can be
avoided, no care can prevent the occa-
sional inroad of single spies. And q
tick, though only the size of pins
head, is no despicable assailant. He
crawls, he bites, he burrows under the
skin il he has time and opportunity.
and if he and his companions have q
fair chance of working their wicked
will, the result of the wounds which
they inflict may be very disagreeable,
and, in some cases. almost dangerous in
6ammation.
independently of the nuisance which
they are to human beings, they cause
serious mischief on the stock farms.
Besides pervading and irritating the
outer cuticle Of each individual of the
herds, the cattle, and especially the
calves take them into their mouths
while grazing. Then they burrow under
the skin of the tongue, palate and air
passages, forming Jumps and sores,
which, of course, destroy condition, and.
If not carefully attended to. eventually
choke the animal In some pastures
their presence is so marked that cattle
are known to refuse to go in willingly
to Craze, but have to be exceptionally
forced to enter feeding grounds where
so much pain and discomfort await
them.
1t is supposed that ticks first mado
their way to the island on cattle inn
ported from the. Spanish main, but
though they have been long more or
less known, it is only in comparatively
recent times that they have thrust
themselves into bad notoriety. The
direct cause of their increase is the
gradual disappearance of their natural
enemies, which, If they did not exter-
miate the tiny parasites, at least kept
them within reasonable limit The
first of these enemies were the bird
tribes. To-day one of the first things
that strikes visitor is the remarkable
absence of the bird life which forms
such a distinctive feature in most trop-
ical countries.-Blac Magazine.
