To Disiranchise the NEGRO.

Gov Evans of South Carolina. is now
enjoying whatever distinction there may
be in presiding over a state convention,
the delegates TO which We're elected by
fraud and for the avowed purpose of de-
priving the colored man of right to
vote. Judge COTS injunction, issued
May 9, to prevent the state authorities
from holding the election for this purpose,
on the ground that there was fraud at the
election for calling the convention, was
afterwards withdrawn, not because the
decision wasn't in the interests of equity
but because it was decided that equity
wasn't the point at issue. And now the
constitutional convention of South Caro-
lima will proceed to set at naught the
constitution of the United States by dis
franchising the negro. This done there
will be point at issue raised which
CHIEF Justice Fuller and the supreme
court of the United States cannot set aside
by teohnicalities. Meanwhile the south
ern statesmen will proceed to flagcllate
the atmosphere in expounding their vari
Gus theories for DISTINGUISHING every man
with tinge of colored blood in his veins,
Notwithstanding that some of the past
statesmen of the Palmetto state may not
have been too good to share In his parent
age. One "Cunnel' Bob Aldrich of Barn
we'll county thinks he has discovered that
a law which will prevent colored man
from holding Office does not infringe
upon the rights of suffrage conferred by
the constitution of the United States
"Cunncl'' Bob's dist notion Is no more
entitled to be called ingenious than was
Senator Gray'S theory that should Cleve-
land seek denomination next year it would
not be for third term because Harrison's
term INTERVIEWED in the Cleveland success
sion. 1t is apparent that the South
Carolina convention will not permit ways
and means TO blind their eyes to their
purpose. They are determined to rob the
colored man of suffrage and compel him
to support his own schools They have
short memories down there

We trust the survivors of the gallant
old Third Maine Regiment have found it
as pleasant to hold their annual reunions
in Augusta, as it has been for Augusta
people TO have them do So. This regiment
possesses record, than which none are
more honorable. Organized Juno 4, 1861,
the regiment was soon at the front and
participated in both battles of Bull Run,
Yorktown, Williamsburg, Malvern Hill,
Seven Pines, fredericksburg Chancellors-
Vile, Gettysburg and in the famous Peach
Orchard sixty six of its members were
taken from the ranks by death, wounds
and Imprisonment. 1t shared in the
honors Of Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor
indeed the Third Maine saw active service
in abundance throughout the three years
and the tales recounted around the camp
fire at Its annual reunions are of more
than ordinary interest. Members of the
Third Maine win always dnd warm well
come in Augusta whenever it may choose
to pitch its tent and kindle its camp fire
in the capital city.

PRESS COM MENTS.
Free Trade Falsehoods.
IN. Y. Press !

We have not been able to get anything
In the way of explanation or apology from
the World or the Evening Post for the
frauds they tried to perpetrate upon the
public concerning the operation of the
wilson German tariff. These newspapers
printed the names of number of great
manufacturing institutions which they
said, for the purpose of proving that the
wilson bill was better tariff, from the
point of view of business development,
than the Mckinley bill, had in the years
1891 and 1892 reduced wages or shut
down their works in whole or in part,
and recently had started In producing
Enormously at increased rates Of wages
We communicated with these establish
ments and found that the statements Of
the World and the Evening Post were
falsehoods. We found that in not single
Instance had they told the truth. We
printed letters from these manufacturing
institutions going over the facts In the
case and showing that the statements of
the World and the Evening Post had been
made out of whole cloth. 1t seemed to US
that this exposure called for some word of
explanation or apology even from the
World and the Evening Post, but not
pep has issued from either of these great
Democratic organs. This is especially sad
in the case of the Evening Post. The
EDITOR of that newspaper Is the self-ac-
kuowledged guardian of public and pro-
ssional morality. If Governor McKin-
lev, for instance, had made a speech full
of false statistics, the Evening Post would
have exhausted the dictionary of scorn
and indignation at such shocking ex-
hibition Of political immortality.
OF course, as these newspapers have
said nothing In explanation of their
ofense, the conclusion is inevitable that
there is nothing they can say. Not for
the purpose of increasing their confusion
but simply to teach them and all who are
tempted to follow their example the
lesson that 1t does not pay TO undertake a
fraud upon public intelligence, we print
herewith letter which we have Just re-
ceived from James Lord, the secretary and
treasurer of the Pennsylvania Bolt and
Nut Company of Lebanon, Pa, which

DIR. Forbes Winslow of London is I'M
doubtedly famous expert in matters per
taining to insanity but when he told the
medico legal congress In unqualified
terms that 1t is dangerous to health and
ruinous to morals for any woman to
exercise upon bicycle, he placed himself
In position that lacks support There
are physicians who agree with him in the
main but people generally will continue
to use their common sense until the
medical profession, with nearer approach
to unanimity and with more show of fact
and reason demonstrate that their theories
are correct 1t Il not at all difficult to
believe that female cyclists are exposed to
greater danger to health than are the
male portion of humanity The physique
of woman is not SO well adapted to I'M
dergo the strain of protractod and over
excrtion to which cycling appears to
tempt its devotees. But DR.. Winslow's
attack was as much against wheeling in
moderation us in excess.

The fact that the English volunteers
are in camp with the English regulars. as
has been the custom for several years,
leads several American newspapers to ad-
vocate this policy in this country. Indeed
this plan ia not IA new one, nor has ii
lacked for advocates in the past Some
sort of compromise policy may prove
practical. However, the spirit which has
existed in the past between the regulars
and the militia could hardly be regarded
as the right sort of emulation or conducive
to the best results were they brought to-

The Test of Hardness.

A good many people appear to think
that resistance to a blow is n test Of hard
ness in minerals, whereas it is resistance
to erosion. Ignorance of this fact led a
man, not long ago, to experiment on what
appeared to be large and unusually clear
garnet of rather light red color. He took
q hammer to it and smashed it TO atoms.
diamond is the hardest substance in the
world, yet 1t may be broken by tap from
q hammer or even fall on the sidewalk,
as 1t is apt to split along any Of the clcav-
age lines, which are parallel to its faces.
Experts test an undetermined gem first
with file and after with fragment of stone
of differing hardness. If it yields to the file,
it is glass or something no more durable
than that.--Jewelers' Review

the matter of dredging the Kennebec
Where to deposit the refuse matter taken
from the river channel Is still an
unsettled question, but disposition

policy comes the unanimous protest
of the great numbering interests of the
Kennebeo valley, and in fact of all the
people Of this region irrespective of party.
Mr.. Miiliken has always been alert in
looking after the interests of his con-
stituents and In his efforts to prevent This
threatened evil he viii have their active

THE MARKSMAN'S ART.
To Hit the Bullseye Said to BE a Matter
OF Aim and Barrel.

"It's all in the barrel and holding
on, was a famous sharpshooter' sum
mary of the art of bullseye hitting at q
shooting festival at Glendale Park, L. l.
But art in aim and dilletanteism in the
minutiD of the implements used are
widely apart. Relies OF the DAYS of Crock
EFT and Boone show that sharpshooting
today is as it was when the arquebusiers
of the primeval forest sailed forth for deer
meat with terrible hunting engines, some
needing the crotch of sapling for aim
taking, but the barrel was there, and so
was the holding on and mep today 90
not make truer shots at black disk than
did the backwoodsmen when rifles weighed
from 20 to 30 pounds and only "a shot be-
hind the shoulder" was considered sports
manlike.
The barrel, too, is the thing at tho
shooting contests today Given q riGed
steel tube, bored true and the gift of
holding on and the stock, lock and
other accessories are secondary in impor-
lance, and the farmers son with his grand
fathers shooting iron" is, If he can draw
a bead, as likely to take prize home as
the rival equipped with the most modern
arm.
1t is only a question of aim and barrel,
after all. Those principles will obtain
century hence, when perhaps the ammu-
milton, stock fashions and lock mechan-
isms Of today will be regarded as antiques.
Even today the old fashioned muzzle loader
holds its own against the newest Device in
brccchloading rites, just as the ramrod
"scattor gun" in the Brush be it of pot
metal or stub twist, will "wipe the eye"
of the competing 81 900 choke bore if the
sportsman with the less costly weapon
"holds on. New York Times.

was one of the manufacturing establish
ments described in the Evening Post and
the World as being idle In 1892 and as
having raised wages prodigiously since
the Wilson bill became law:
To the Editor of the Press
Slr-During 1892 none of our rolling
mills was idle except for necessary re-
pairs The price paid for pudding during
1892 was 50, so per ton, and other rolling
mill wages were in proportion 10 the pud-
ding rate After the Wilson bill was
passed the pudding rate fell to 50 so per
ton--a decline of rs per cent. Under
the stimulus of the present demand we
have advanced TO So. 90 per ton, which is
II per cent. less than we paid in 1892
The relative difference in the price of all
labor employed by lis is practically the
same. Wages remain very much lower
even after recent advances, because If 1892
wages were demanded under present con
ditions, the goods would be made in
Europe. JAMES LORD.
Lebanon, Pa, Sept 5.
The closing sentence of Mr. Lord s let
ter is one which will apply to every fac
tory In the United States. If the same
rate of wages were paid to our working
people now as was paid then our manu-
featuring establishments would have to
close down, our working people would be
thrown into idleness and the American
nation would be dependent for substan-
italy all its manufactured goods upon
the products of Europe, The Wilson bill
has compelled the working people of the
United States to choose between low
wages and starvation. That and the &C
cumulaton of $500, 600, 900 of new public
debt are the only trophies Of tariff re

much attention. 1t consists of a copper
cylinder, bent into a circle and from the

chemical compound which, as soon as the
life preserver Is thrown into the water
gives forth a light-the result of chemical
combination. This light not only enables
one struggling in the water to locate the
buoy thrown to him, but enables his ship
mates to find him after he has reached the
buoy, should he go overheard in the night
time.
