The South Carolina Constitutional
Convention has completed its delibera-
tiOns. The suffrage article of the
new Constitution provides for an
alternative educational or property
qualification for voters. Any man
who can read or write or who pays
taxes on $500 worth of property has
the right to vote. Had the conven-
tion stopped there the illiterate
whites would have been disfranchised.
They are provided for in clause,
which says that anyone who cannot
vote under either property or educa-
tiOnal qualification shall be given the
right &c vote for life if he can under
stand a section of the constitution
when read to him by the registration
officer.
This understanding clause is only
to be operated for two years. All
males attaining their majority after
1898 must comply with the education
al or property publications in order
to be allowed to vote. This clause
was fought vigorously, though I'M
successfully, and is regarded with
dissatisfaction by large proportion
of the citizens of the State. Doubt
is expressed as to whether it will
stand the test of review by the FEEDER
al courts.

Rig Trusts and Little Trusts.

The casual observer rarely if ever
reflects upon the fact that men are
prone to themselves commit offenses
which they condemn in others. For
example we will take the matter OF
Trusts. There is che whiskey trust,
the beer trust, the sugar trust, the
fruit trust, the -four trust, the oil
trust, the meat trust and numerous
other trusts organized by capitalists
for the purpose of controlling the
production and price of staple and
other commodities for the more rapid
and still further enrichment of those
who enter into the combinations
suggested. People in the ordinary
walks of life denounce with righteous
indignation these unholy alliances of
capital and then without the slight
est computations of conscience pro-
coed to organize like trusts upon a
smaller scale. An apt illustration of
this was recently emphasized in the
courts of a neighboring city. A
number of large packing companies
who are in the big meat combine
furnish the local butchers with their
meats. The packers have ''cinch''
upon the retailers who are dependent
upon them for their meat supply.
The retailers thus being at the mercy
of the packers, they organized local
butchers union or trust for the
avowed purpose of keeping up prices
charged the consumer and thus doing
just what the big meat trust was
guilty of. Big trusts seek to crush
out all competition, the little trust
called the butchers union sought to
do the same thing. Self interest is a
pretty faithful barometer for the
Indication Of ones sentiments.

Even Hold Taylor has gone back on
Upham. The following is from the
State Journal of Madison:
The Republican party of Wisconsin
cannot be defeated next year nor any
otheryear on purely personal grounds.
1t is not tied up to any man or set
of men. 1t can elect any worthy can
didates fairly nominated. 1t can set
aside individuals and ignore proceed
ents. if majority so determine, and
yet move on to victory. Its strength
is not personal, it is political. 1t will
not invite defeat by selecting this
man or that for official position. Its
danger lies in the direction of broken
pledges and the employment of loose
and extravagant methods. If il is
true to its promises, if it gives to the
people intelligent and economical
government, it will retain their con-
fidence and support. If it fails to do
this, if it promises one thing and
performs another, if it neglects to
carefully guard expenditures, or
attempts TO reward dnfaithfulness OF
unfitness in official place, then will it
meet as it will merit speedy over
throw

During the summer vacation, Prof
g. c. Comstock, director of the
Washburn Observatory and professor
Of astronomy in the University of
Wisconsin, co-operated with the
authorities of the University of
Minnesota in determining the longi-
tude of their new observatory by an
exchange of Geographic time signals
between Madison and Minneapolis.
The difference in time or longitude
between the two cities proves to be 10
minutes and 1913 seconds, and by
means Of the delicate apparatus of
the obseryatories, it has been possible
to determine this difference within
one, or at most two, one-hundreths of
a second. To secure so high a degree
of accuracy it was necessary for Prof.
Comstock to go to Minneapolis and
determine the personal equation"
between himself and the astronomer
at that place 1t is well known that
in different persons the nerves and
muscles as well as the brain operate
in some more rapidly, in Others less
rapidly, and this personal difference
between the two astronomers must
be accurately determined and allowed
for or the longitude will be in error.
Prof. Comstock observes seven one
hundredths of second earlier or
quicker than the Minneapolis
astronomer and, after allowing for
this minute difference, Minneapolis
time is found to be II minutes and
1914 seconds slower than standard
railroad time. An interesting side
result of the longitude work is that it
requires one-fiftieth of second for
a Geographic signal to Dc transmitted
over the wires from Madison to
Minneapolis, a distance of about four
hundred miles.

The Evening Wisconsin thinks the
difficulty in the republican camp in
the state is attributable to the fact
that there is a vacancy in the Chair
manship of the State Central
Committee. We take issue with the
distinguished afternoon paper. The
republican party Will not tolerate a
boss. 1t believes in placing the re-
sponsibility where it legally belongs
upon the duly chosen officials who are
responsible to all the people of the
state. The chairman of the State
Central Committee has the campaign
in charge, but after election he is
ful,ctus oticio, and the more strongly
that fact is impressed upon men who
aspire to the position in order that
they may afterwards command big
pay as corporation lobbyists, the
better for good government and pure
legislation. No more Boss Walls.

1t Aids in the Detection of UnwhOle-

Daniel Webster in the famous
White trial in Salem, Mass, years ago
declared that murder will out" "
This maxim has been found Applicable
to many other things besides
murder. Housewives know it to be
true when there is alum in baking
powder. A bitterness in bread at
once betrays the alum's presence. 1t
can't conceal its true nature. The
alum bitterness Twill out" and
because it will, physicians, who
understand the harmful effect of alum
on the system, are at loss to know
why people continue to buy baking
powders containing it. All baking
powders sold for twenty-five cents a
pound and less contain alum. There
is surely no economy in using these
cheap powders. For pure cream of
tartar powder, as DR.. Prices was
shown to be at the Worlds Fair, goes
so much farther and gives so much
better results, there is no doubt of its
being more economical in the long
