The Franchise in Mississippi

The new Constitution Of Mississippl
depriyes of the franchise ali who fail
TO pay poll tax and all who cannot
read and write. The educational
test however, will not be fully ap-
pl ed until 1896. During the next
four years an unlettered citizen may
retain his franchise If he gives salts
factory evidence that he understands
such portions Of the State Constitu.
tion as are read to him.
The United States census OF 1890
gives Mississippi l47, 205 colored men,
and ll0, 100 white men of voting age,
and yet this years registration lists
contain the names of only s.6I5
colored men aud 6s,I27 white
men. About 2s, 900 colored men
and $4,000 white men were
disqualified because they did not
pay the poll tax. That there Is a
disposition on the part of the au-
thoritieS To administer the educational
test fairly Is evidenced by the fact
that the illiterates admitted TO vote
after constituting the Constitution
were about equally divided between
he races.
Without passing upon the ultimat,
