SUFFRAGE IN SOUTH CAROLYN 4


The leaders of the Democratic party or
Popalis, party. or Tiliman party, or all
three together, can hardly hcpe to deceive
the people of the United States into the
belief that the voting contrivance which
the constitutional convention of South
Carolina has fixed up is in the interest OF
fair and equal suffrs ge. The educational
qualifications which the convention has
imposed upon the voters has string TO
il. TGe provision that the voter must
either he able TO read the Constitution
of tie United States or have an Intelligent
understanding of it, wien read 10 linn,
offers the opportunity for the exclusion
of large proportion OF the white. and
still larger portion of the colorcd voters.
If this exclusion were fInpartiaily en-
forced against all iTiteraies, even then
there might be sorae excuse for this pc
culiar statute, though such exclusion
ought under all circumstances In be de-
tcrmined by the actual intelligence of
the would-be voter, and not upon the
discretion or discrimination of an election
ance wiHoperate almost entirely against the
illi,erate negro, for tire white Democratic
election official viii manage in some
way to. get in the votes even of the
most pronounced iliterates of his own race.
South Carolina had an excellent op-
portunity to apply the educational quail
fication without discriminating against,
or doing injustice to anyone. The Aus
tralian ballot. fairly and honestly used,
presents in itself the best possible test
of the intelligence or illiteracy of the
citizen, and while this might have ex-
cIuded some white ballots, 1t would
have done the same for about siS-sevenths
of the colored race. The present statute
is an open confession that the negro
vote of the State is to be suppressed
without even the fornality of fair test.

ada. It was not issued hastily or chcor-
fully, for it IS the Conservative party

Z most OF the Oraugemen, while most OF
the Roman Catholics are in tho Liberal
party. Back OF the remedial order is
the whole force OF the Dominion. and
back OF that is the whole power OF Great
Britain.

will cost great many lives. Riers re-

ChnnEing Their Tune.

Those papers that made such an cutlery
against the President and Secretary Car
Isle for selling the last lot of bonds to the
Belmont Morgan syndicate for a little
more than 1O4, declaring that if the bonds
had been offered in the open market to
the highest bidder, they would have
brought 11S, are not saying much about
the matter nowadays. They have become
convinced, probably. that they did not
know a great deal about the matter, AMI
that the profits of the Belmont Morgan
syndicate will not be so great as it was at
first thought they would be.
The syndicate undertook TO do a great
deal more than furnish gold for the bonds
at the price agreed upon. One of the
things it agreed to do was to prevent
gold from being drawn from the treasury
for export for a certain length of time.
If it were not for that agreement gold
would now be going out of this country,
because the rate of exchange is such that
it could be shipped at profit. The syn
dictate, however, is controlling the gold
movement by furnishing bills Of exchange
at little below the gold-shipping point.
1t is costing it a good deal of money to
do this, and if it succeeds in preventing
gold from going abroad uHtil the condition
of the treasury is such that it will be
able to take care of ftself-and of its
success there does not now seem to be any
doubt-even those who were loudest in
condemning the administration for the
bargain it made will have to admit that
the bargain was not such bad one for
the government after all.
