itself Jeffersonian democracy,

ton whether any regulation by

that the right of women to con.

The New York Sun has the
following to say editorially in
regard to a new South Carolina
shceme:
An entirely new method for
adopting d new state constitu.
ton, comes from South Caro-
lima, so fertile in political gen.
Jus and new departures. In
brief it is this: "lf the constitu.
tion made by a constitutional
convention shall receive the
votes of $4,000 citizens, it shall
be thereby ratified and adopted,
no matter how many votes are
cast on the other side. The
Charleston News and Courier's
calm description of the South
Ca, DINA plan must be quoted !:
"The convention shall frame
a constitution which is 10 be-
come effective if $1,000 white
voters vote for it, regardless of
the action ofthe coIored voters
That is TO say, if $1,000 white
voters vote for it, and $4,000 Of
the 10000 coIored voters, or
$4,000 colored voters and Is, COO
white voters vote against il,
making an adverse majority Of
$4,000 or $4,000, it is to become
effective despite such adverse
vote"
In other words a minority is
TO count as an artificial but le-
gal majority. The gentlemen
who want a new constitution
get 1t, provided there are 65, 900
of them or provided that they
have mathematical ability to
count up 5000 votes. The gen
tlemen on the other side have
the privilege Of voting. There
will be no objec lion TO their 70
ting as many times as they
choose, as the size Of their vot,
will not be permitted 10 affect
the result.
The Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments TO The constitution
OF the United States may be-
vhouglt TO interfere viii tin
South Carolina plan, but the
political geniuses who have in.
vented IL seem TO hold that ihey
don't abridge q mans right t.
vote by preventing his vote from |
being counted. The Richmond
Dispatch, which appears unable
TO regard the plan without
amusement and irony, illus |
trates IL 10y an anecdote Of q re |
porter Of our neigbbor, the Tri- |
bune, who went down to Geor.
gia to find out II the negroes
there were allowed TO vote, and
who interviewed a republican
negro with this result:
"'Tell ne, said the TribuLeI
man, do these Georgia demo.

JAPAN must have more terrific
ry, With an area, only two and
half times as great as that Of
New England, only a small part
of which is cultivable, there is a
population of forty millions. But
for the vast quantities of fish in
the surrounding waters, and the
fact that some of the cultivable
s,il bears two or three crops each
year, the people would face actual
starvation. The advance in civ
ilization has put an end to many
forces which formerly kept the
population in check. We made
our need, and even our cupidity,
the excuse for driving out tn
Indian, and We cannot wonder
that Japan should take what she
so desperately needs. We do not
believe that either Russia or Eng
land will interfere to prevent the
acquisition of territory by Japan.
The British Lion'and the Russian
Bear stand face to face in Asia
Neither one would wish to make
IN enemy of the greatest naval
and military power in the East
So small is the draft which the
present contest has made upon
the men and the resources of Japan
that it would not be safe for any
nation TO be impertinent in its in
reference. The civilized world
will watch with deepest interest
the developments of the next few
weeks.

THE dignity of labor has re-
ceived another sad blow in the ac-
quittal of President Benjamin
Norton and Supt. Quinn of the
Atlantic Avenue railroad COM
pany, Brooklyn, last week. They
were charged with violating the
1O-hour law by making their en-
ployes remain on duty for IA
honrs for 10 hours pay. The
courts decided that men must put
in 10 hours actual running time,
irrespective of meals and waiting
time.

THE. rapid rise Of the cotton
manufacturing interests Of India
and Japan must have a most i'm.
portant beaing upon the cotton
goods shipments to the East by
both England and the United
States. and it is easy to see, in
view of the standard Of gold in
England and that Of silver in the
East, how significant a relation
those metals must bear to the
question of trade. The agitation
for bimetallism in England,
which has recently attracted so
much attention, is the outg-owth
of discomfort among manufacture
ers trading with silver countries.
