DISTINGUISHING the Negro.

The Populists of South Carolina are no
improvement over their kind in other
States. After securing the full political
control of the State, their first step is to
clinch this hold for time to!come; and the
constitutional convention now in session,
is but an instrument to that end. Wheth-
er her condition, the ignorance and pref
udice of her poorer whites, the disgrace
full treatment of the negroes, stumbling
blocks to her development, will be wor
than under the lash of the Bourb
Democracy is difficult to say.
This constitutional convention nov i
session at Columbia, was formed h
the avowed purpose of so amending le
constitution of the State as to assuI he
supremacy of the white population and
the permanent disfranchisement of the
colored voters. All sorts of methods
have been tried for the accomplishment
of this purpose in the past, and they
have been so far successful that the total
vote of the State as registered has fallen
from about 10000 in 1876 to less than
10000 at the last gubernatorial election.
To perpetuate this Populist control,
the scheme provides that, in the first
place, no man can vote unless he has
paid a poll tax six months previous to

an election. Then every elector must be
registered. He cannot be registered un-
less he is able to read and write any
secticn of the constitution, or shows that
he owns or pays taxes on $500 worth of
prop Terty in the State, the registration
being entirely in partisan hands. The
educational prOviso is not to take full
effect until alter January lst, 1898, aud it
is here where the scheme to dISfr' 'nchise
the negro comes in IL is provided that
at the first regis ration separate lists
shall he made NJ of "illiterate persons"
who satisfy the registration officers that
thev can understand and explain" a
clause in the constitution when read to
them, Such persons shall remain dur
ing life qualified voters.
When an illiterate white man appears
before the registration officer, the latter
will be satisfied that the applicant 'un-
derstands" the clause read to him,
whether he does or not. IL most cases,
doubtless, a simple clause, ON which he
has been posted beforehand, will be read
to him. But when an iIliterate negro,
or for that matter one who can actually
read and write, applies for registration,
the officer will ask him to explain some
complicated clause, and on his failure t.
do 80 to the satisfaction of the officer.
registration will he denied the colored
man. By January 1st, 1898, therefore,
all the white voters in the State will be
on the registration lists for life, while
thousands of negroes will probably have
been disfranchised. Such is the blot
that is to be inflicted upon the State by
the Populist politicians, but it is no
worse than those inflicted by the d
Calhoun Democrats, the slave holding
secessionists, and their successors.

Vermont W. .c.T.U. Convention.

The twenty first annual convention of
the Vermont State w. G. T. U. convened
in the beautiful and cOmmodiUus Con-
gregational church, Rutland, Sept. 24th.
25th and Goth. To herald in the event
September gave one of her brightest and
best days, which brought many dele
gates and visitors wearing the white rib
bon, to the pleasant city where they
were greeted most cordially by all.
Tuesday afternoon was occupied with
business meetings of the executive com
mittee, and workers conference, led by
Miss Lucy H. Hitchcock, state lecturer,
on physical Culture" Tuesday even
ing a reception was held in the spacious
parlors of the church, and Hon. j. A.
Sheldon. mayor of the city, also Rev.
Phillips, D. D., pastor of the COngrega-
tional church. Rutland, was introduced
by Mrs. G. +. Davidson, State secretary.
At S o. m. the many white ribbons and
their friends passed from the parlOrs to
the auditorium. Mrs. Ida ii. Reed, pres
ident of the State w. c. r. U., invited
Rev. Phillips, D. D.. to lead in devotion
al exercises, and the Fourtieth Psalm
was read alternately. Prayer was made
by w. II. Fuller, secretary of Y. NJ. e..
A. Mr.. Fuller petitioned that this year
be one that many shall strike hands to
aid this great work of temperance, that
we may have pure and righteous law
makers, and that the convention be the
means of much good to Rutland. Sing
ing. Crock of Ages" Hon. j. A. Shell
don gave words of welcome, saying: ''If
the w. C. T. U. would not only pray, but
not be afraid to take the law in their
own hands. the saloons would soon be
closed, Greetings by Rev. Phillips, d..
D., saying: lit gives me great pleasure
to give YOU welcome; temperance is one
of the blossoms of the Church. The
work of this organization will always be
needed to frOwn upon the great evil Of
intemperance, and to stand at the head
of power, and that of moral power, lap
plause:1 your success will be in your
persistence. Woman should take the
attitude that their daughters should
have no favor toward one that makes or
uses intoxicants. Let this be the teach
ing in the family and we shall take a
hong step in the temperance reform"
Rev. j. Noe, D. D., said: 1T is an
honor, and real pleasure to greet you,
and think this w. c. T. u. stands for
the great reform of the age. Many
church members will pray Thy king
dom come, Thy will be done on earth as
in heaven then vote the same as the
liquor seller. Sisters, do not be dis
couraged, God holds the scepter Of pow
er; God hears and answers prayer. There
is better day dawning upon you, and
we shall see the greatest enemy of the
home overthrown." Singing, "Onward,
Christian Soldiers"
Mrs. S. A. Case, spoke of our increase
of delegates at the State convention since
1875; with the great power in Christian
citizenship the work is advancing, and
the w. C. T. U. reaches from the gulf to
the lakes, and from ocean to ocean. The

The babyish policy of inactivity of the
Cleveland Administration in the hand
ling of serious foreign affairs is again
rendered darker and more babyish in
comparison with the proceedings of
foreign power, under similar circum-
stances. Great Britain in compelling
the Chinese government to degrade
Viceroy Liu of See -Chuen, who is held
responsible for the outrages upon the
Christian missionaries, in Cheng- Tu, the
capital of Sze-Chuen, has taken the only
effective means towards stopping these
outrages. The Viceroy has been stripped
of his rank for failing to protect the
missionaries and will never again be
allowed to hold Office The American
government is still feebly conducting
what it calls an ''investigation" &c these
riots, but it will probably stop proceed
ing, soon. Out of humanity our govern
ment ought to announce that it's inten-
ton is to refuse protection to our citizens
abroad; that they must take their lives
in their own hands in going abroad.
Such an announcement would forearm
them for emergencies.

a niue, which / ran three weeks, but the
ASSAY showed silver and lead, for | didn't
go deep enough to strike gold vein. In
Bridgewater there are six or seven mines
opened up already and three companies
are working there with eight or ten men
apiece procuring gold out OF rock in pay
ing quantities. The veins are in tale and
slat", running northeast and souttwe.
in a general way, and are about 40 feet
below the surface. The veins are small
near the surface, increasing in width as
they go down on a moderate decline.
The slate walls next to the quartz also
carry gold. The OttaqueChee Miuing
Company's mine at Bridgewater has been
put down about 40 feet and they have
300 tons of ore on the dump now. 1t as
says as high as $4,000 while the lowest
is S26 ton. The steam crushing mill

Der and has made a run on low grade ore

What is needed to develop the gold
district of Vermont is California capital.
Eastern capital is too conservative, and
will not go into anything unless it is
sure of good interest Western c.pital
will take risk when it sees a chance for
great development. California miners,
backed by mining capital, would pro.
duce a great development of the gold
district in Vermont, for the gold interest
is worth more than all other interests in
the State when it is developed"

Gold lin Vermont,

Interes in the development of gold
mining in this State has just been re-
awakened by the discoveries of West
ern prospector who has been traversing
the gold belt of the State from north to
south. This belt which extends from st.
Johnsbury to Rutland, is prolific in gold,
both placenand quartz There is good
ground for the investment of capital anu
also for prospectors, as there is consid-
cradle quartz rock showing free gold in
sufficient quantities for that kind of min
ing.
Mr.. James w. Sherman of Boise City,
Idaho, who has had many varied expe.
riences during his life as miner, in
speaking to Burlington Free Press re-
porter of his discoveries in this State,
said: e
~ was born in Huntington in 1S47,
served with the 10th infantry during the
war and went to California in 10, and

south as Plymouth. In Stowe found by

loose gold in the gravel. In Middlesex
there is no Quartz, but the conditions for
placer mining are about the same as in
Stowe. In MoretOwn and Warren there
is more gold, gaining as you 60 south l

Culberson, to meet the emergency in
which he has been plac.d in his efforts
to prevent the Corbett- -FitzsimmOn

the last of this month, and thousands of
dollars have alreaC.y been spent i'll the
preparations. The Governor applied to
the courts for power TO prevent this
meeting, but it was decided that Texas
had no law to prevent. Instead of wait

A large convention of Irish Americans
met in Chicago last week, t5 re-awaken
interest in, and to devise means for in
dependence for Ireland. The speakers,
or many of them. urged the Irish to en-
ter upon campaign of armed aggres-
sion against England; and the forma-
ton of armed hattaIions in the United
States to bs ready for instant service,
was seriously discussed. 1t has always
been Ireland's misfortune, in her strug-
giles with England, that the principal
amount of fighting has occurred in the
ranks of her own leaders instead of
against her enemy. and such a condition
is as evident to day as ever. Until these
conditions are changed, all planning for
Irish independence will end, as hereto
tore, in talk.

The Grand Jury has just recommended
the establishment of the whipping post
for the punishment Of wife beaters and
petty thieves, in the National Capitol.
The presiding Judge is of the opinion
that good results would be obtained in
some instances. The courts, however,
must be applied to in the matter, and he
advised the members of the Grand Jury
tn move in that direction. 1t is improb.
able that this whipping post movement
will ever reach a much more advanced
stage, as Congress- would hesitate in res
urrecting such a barbarous relic of the
middle ages.

a joke, must laugh when he reads that
portion of the platform of the Massachu-

the manufacturing interests of MaSsa
chusetts upon the successful operation

tentiOn to the marked Increase in the ex
ports of the manufactured goods as An
index of the enlargement of our foreign

writing of taunting sarcasm upon the
sutferings of the working people and
the losses of the manufacturers from the
effects of the tariff, nothing better than
the above congratulations could have
been composed.

The Shakers have made q great hit. Their
Digestive Cordial is said to be the most sue.
cessful remedy for stomach troubles ever intro
duced. It Immediately relieves all pain and
distress after eating, builds up the feeble sys-
tom and makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested are bot
ter than so-called tonics. The Cordial not only
contains food already digested, but is q digest
or of other foods. Food that is not digested
does moro harm than good. People who use
the Cordial insure the digestion of what food
they eat and in this way get the benefit of it
and grow strong.
