"Down in our town the women have

Law comforting such right upon them
grows older, the number Of female

the women Of this country don't care
about voting. In 1888, the year the
equal suffrage Law vent into effect,
1876 Atchison women registered, and
lees than 800 of them voted. In 1889
there were registered 4S1, and only
375 voted. The third year 297 wo-
men registered, and less than 200
voted. Last year 224 women regis

is safe to predict that less than 100

Negro Education.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
NORFOLK. Va, June 19.-Twenty
years have rolled by since the State of
Virginia undertook to make reliable
citizens, good laborers and honorable
men and women of the negro popula-
ton by afiording them scholastic adj
yantages. Many public speakers and
newspaper correspondents have made
themselves busy in assuring the world
of the great progress of the negro race
within the last two decades. On one
occasion minister Of the Gospel saw a
negro slave ploWing with Il yoke of OK

cursing and swearing at furious rate.

inducement for the adoption of a more
conservative course pointed to the ex-
ample of job. Sans reply was ''Ah,

respondent would say about those who
have such exalted opinions of the ele-
walton and moral progress of the color
ed race. at least in Norfolk-"They
have never dealt with them as cooks,

in which they were no useful and relia-
bic before they had so-called educa-
tional advantages" can say, without
fear of successful contradiction that
nine in ten Of them are utterly unrc-
liable and worthless, and Il lew more
years of schooling will render the whole
race british, stolid and a seething mass

money which have been spent in pro-
vidins for them free schools have been
worse than wasted. for they are dis
qualifying them for everything reliable
and useful.
