REGULATION OF THE SUFFRAGE

who have eudeavo. ed to arrest the
execution of South Cardinals statutes

tutional Convention, e"ds, we suppose,

elaction and proceedings of that body,
so that we shall now have another
Southern State dealing with the ques-
ton, how are the white people of the
State to retain control Of their State
Government withaut violating the
fifteenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, which for
bids any State to deprive any person
of the right to vote on account of race,
color or previous conditions of servi-
tude. A distinguished South Caro-
lima, with whom we have conve:s- d
within the past few days, told US that
he expected the Convention in his
State to odept device similar to the
Mississil D.. plan. We most sincerely
hope it will not do 50. The vital part
ofthat plan is its provision that re-
quires person applyidg 70 be regis
tered as voter to be abe either to
read the Constitution Of the State, or
to understand it when read to him.
Those who can red are, of course,
registered without more ado. Bat the
law gives the registering officer the
discretion to decide whether person
who cannot read understands the
Constitution when read to him. This
is a power, of course, which should
never be committed to partisan
Practically it operates 10 make the
register determine that every illiterate
white man understands the Constitu
ton when read to him, and that no
illiterate negro understands il. Miss
issippi thus starts her electoral system
upon a foundation Of fraud. The
influence of that fraudulent example
held up by the State to her people
must be widespread and lasting upon
their character. The State should be

that is high, pure, just and of good

drawing its people upwards and on

and fraud, it is ALWAYS operating upon
its people as corroding Influence that
ccrrupts their minds, debauches their
Thoughts, and drags them down, sep
by step, to all that is base.
Her people had better endure any
thing than to have their State hold this

his liberty, and it will strike even lay

with crime. The Indictment had not
been given 10 the grand jury, and OF

it. Pending this case, judge Benet
granted an order restraining Sheppard

A NEW AFRICAN ROMANCE

A NEW AFRICAN ROMANCE
The strangest case OF all was that OF
the chiefs own brother. lie had been
captain of the line, and his ankle was
smashed by bullet. Sususa came up
to him, and having examined the
wound, rated him soundly for falling in
the first onslaught.
The poor fellow made the excuse that
it was not his fault, as the Beers had
hit him in the first rush. His brother
admitted the truth of this, and talked
to him amicably.
"Well," he said, at length, offering
him pinch of snuff, YOU can not walk
again."
NO, chief,' said the wounded man,
looking at his ankle.
And tomorrow we must walk far"
went on Sususa.
"Yes, chief"
'sSay, then, will you sit there on the
veldt, Or" and he nodded toward the
river.
The man dropped his head on his
breast for minute as though in thought
Presently he lifted it and looked Sususa
straight in the face.
'My ankle pains me, my brother" hc
said; 81 think I will 60 back to Zulu
land, for thero is the only kraal wish
to see, even if I creep about it like q
snake"
"It is we'll, my BROTHER" said the
chief. "Rest SOFTLY" and having shaken
hands with him, he gave an order to
one of the induna, and turned away.
Then, men came, and, supporting the
wounded man, helped him down to the
banks of the stream. Here, at his re-
quest, they tied a heavy stone around
his neck, and then threw him into the
deep pool. I saw the whole sad scene,
and the victim never WINGED. 1t was
impossible not to admire the extracrdl-
nary courage OF the man, or to avoid be-
ing struck with the cold-blooded cruelty
his brother, the chief. And yet the act
was necessary from his point Of view.
The man must either die swiftly or be
left to perish of starvation, for no Zulu
force will cucumber itself with wounded
men. Years of merciless warfare had so
hardened these people that they looked
on death as nothing, and were, to do
them Justice, as willing to meet it them
selves as to infict it on others. When
this very Impi had been sent by tho
Zulu King Dingaan, it consisted of some
nine thousand men. Now it numbered
about three, all the rest were dead.
They, too, would probably soon be dead.
What did it matter? They lived by war
to die in blood. 1t was their natural
end. kill till you are killed" That
is the motto OF the Zulu soldier. 1t has
the merit of simplicity.
Meanwhile the warriors were looting
the wagons, including my own, having
first thrown all the dead Beers into a
heap. looked at the heap; all Of them
were there, including the two stout
fraus, poor things. But I missed one
body, that Of Hans Botha's daugh-
ter, little Tota. A wild hope came into
my heart that she might have escaped,

Twenty.one persons were overcome by
heat in and about Chicago Monday. -Four

occurred when the mercury was hanging
around the % degree mark In the after.
noon. This was the highest point touched
during the day. Chicago was hot enough,
but there were dozens of places worse off.
New York had the same temperature and
much greater humidity. Most all of In
diana, Ohio and Kentucky were much
hotter. Several weather bureau stations,
including indianapolis and Louisville, re-
port an even 100 degrees at 3 p. m. The
following places reported 90 degrees at
night: Detroit. st. Louis. Springfield, ILL.,.
Cairo, Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis and
Cincinnati. 1t Is safe TO say that at least
twenty-five persons died during five days

that over 100 were FRUSTRATED. A good
