A STARTLING FACT.

That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowl-
edge and skill to know what the eyes need and
20 fit them properly with glasses. Those who
trust this work to uninstructed dealers are
crimina ly careless of the most valuable of all
the senses, their sight In addition to gradu-
Reing in Germany and my thirty years practical
ated in a school of optics in New York and
learned the latest and best methods of ascer-
tanning the different defects of the eyes and
their proper correction. so that l can fit you
properly with glasses that will strengthen and
improve your eyesight instead of rapidly ruin
ing it, as poorly fitted glasses will always do.

That Sunday Caucus.

The following is taken from the Wash
ington dispatches Of the Atlanta COnsti-
tuition:
The statement of Secretary Carlisle
that "every effort of the administration
will be exerted in the direction of the
repeal Of the Sherman silver law" is re-
Rarded here as an anti.silver edict, and
the announcement has aroused and
placed on the alert the free silver sdvo-
Gates. The latter assert that they are
ready for the battle, and everything
promises lively silver fight in the next
congress.
This is precisely what that secret
caucus at Carlisle's mansion in Wash
ington meant. The scheme agreed on at
that time is now boldly admitted. Lot
the producers of Georgia remember that
this plot was deliberately Concocted
months ago; that the purchase Of the
National Economist by the democratic
national committee was part of it; that
the invitations to the mansion HOUSE
Caucus" were issued by Kenney, the
man who now runs the Economist for the
Wall street democrats; and that thosC

Ignorance and RepubliCanism,

Ignorance anu h6puDllCanlSm'
First Assistant Secretary OF the In
terror Sims, Of Mississippi, says that the
"new constitution" in his state 'is work
ing without friction. II gives complete
satisfaction to our people. Under it the
white people representing the intelli'
Qence of the state will govern. A large
proportion Of the cOlored people being
illiterate are barred from casting bal
lot. OF course there are ignorant white
men who are cut of from voting in the
same way, for the law was not meant 10
spply to the blacks alone. If any one
thinks this denial of the suffrage is un-
lust, let him consider that the state OF
Mississippi is doing all it can to abolish
illiteracY in both races. Its public
schools are to-day educating more col
ored children than white, yet the cost OF
sustaining them is borne almost en-
tirely by the white people. We believe
that education is prerequisite to citizen
ship and the schools are doing the work
of preparation. When that is affected
then there may be no further need OF a
restricted ballot"
There is question here worthy OF
profound thought. The only reason
given why an illiterste person should not
be allowed to vote is that he is unable to
vote intelligently. There is no real in
formation in knowing how to read. 1t
is only a means of obtaining informa-
tion. 1t depends a good deal what q
person reads whether he obtains any
valuable information. A great many
people read books or papers that are
worse than nothing, and others are about
the same as nothing.
Now, for instance, there is the Topeka
Capital. There is nothing particularly
vicious in it, but at the same time q man
might read it for any length Of time and
fail TO learn a single political truth. AS
proof of that it may be cited that the
Kansas republicans who read the Capital
and the negro who reads nothing, in
variably vote the same ticket. That
being true it is perfectly inconsistent to
disfrsnchise man who cannot read any"
thing and allow a man to vote who reads
the Topeka Capital II people vote right
they ought to be allowed to vote whether
illiterate or not. And il Kansas repub-
licans vote right, the illiterste negro also
votes right and he ought not to be pre-
vented from voting, But if the illiterate
negro ia to be disfrsnchised from voting
wrong what is to be done with the Kan
sas republican who votes the same wsyi
