SUFFRAGE IN SOUTH CAROLINA

The men who control the constitu-
now in session, frankly avow their in
tention to so change the constitution
of the state us to disfranchise fully
one-half the citizens. The convention is
controlled by the Tillmantes and these
are uncompromising in their demand
for white supremacy. Representative
Elliott said in n recent interview that
the convention will be dominated by
one idea, that of suffrage, chow to keep
the great mass of ignorant negroes
from voting and not conflict with
the federal judiciary and the con-
stitution of the United States.' Sen
ator Tillman, who is chairman of the
committee on rights of suffrage, Is in
favor of pan similar in its general
features to the one adopted in Missis-
sippi, but he goes somewhat farther.
He would not only have an educational
qualification, but also a property quail
tication, urging in behalf of the latter
that it would disfranchise nine-tenths
of the negroes. AS it would also, how
ever, disfranchise many whites, it is
not likely to be adopted by the conven-
tion. The Tillman plan, it is said,
leaves out all of the conservative fea-
lures of the Mississippi constitution
and would simply mean n determination
of the list of electors in the state by
the placemen of the governor. This
has been particularly emphasized by
the public declarations of Tilman on
the stump that they would, in the Mis-.
sissippi plan, get rid OF the negro vote,
but that no white man would be dis
franchised except for crine-a result i'm
possible of accomplishment by clean
and honest methods. The Mississippi
constitution and laws provide remedies
by appeal and otherwise both to vindi-
cate and establish the right of any citi-
zen to vote, as well as to attack ans
Illegally registered votes, but the Pill
nantes do not propose that there shall
be In the constitution of South Carolina
any such safeguards.
1t is said that as against these violent
extremists there are many conservative
men who would wish an educational
qualification fairly applied to both
races, feeling sure that the result would
wholly abolish the negro majority and
any immediate fear OF 1t, and at the
same time act as a stimulus to the white
voters thus disfranchised, the number

NEBRASKA TO THE FORE.

Nebraska can truly point with pride
and industrial resources now concen-
trated at the state fair grounds. Few of
The older states east of the Mississippi
can excel or even match the products of
the farm, orchard and dairy which Ne
braska farmers, dairymen and stock
2aisers have collected and placed OH
exhibition. In the production of sugar
bcets, only California and Utah can
make any comparison with Nebraska,
and that comparison would show to the
credit of Nebraska in point or quality
If not of quantity. The dairy products
Of this state viii rank with those of
Ohio and New York in every respect
and few of the great cattle-raising
states are in position to compete with
Nebraska's live stock in the markets of
the world or on any fair grounds.
Nebraska's prc-eminence as the corn
country has long been established. This
years exhibit of the great staple more
firmly intrenches it in the front rank
among the principal corn-raising re-
gions of America and the world. With
only two-thirds crop at % cents Il
bushel, the corn product OF Nebraska
for 1895 will yield twice as much
money rs the product of all the Colo
RADIO silver mines during the same year.
The manufacturing and mechanical
industries of Nebraska are still in their
infancy. And yet exhibits of the
products of Nebraska factories, mills
and workshops cannot fail to create
gratifying surprise among those most
familiar with the extent of their opera
tions and the variety of the materials
which they work up into finished ar
ticles.
While Nebraska has been under the
weather for two years past and handi-
capped by the most severe drouth that
has ever afflicted its people, the fertility
of its soil and the plenitude of the re-
sources at Its command have never
been so prominently and strikingly
brought into public view as they have
at the exposition on the state fair
grounds this year In this exhibit we
find the strongest incentive for faith
and confidence in Nebraska's future
growth, its boundlcss possibilities and
its assured prosperity. What it has
accomplished with 100000 population
in 1898 is only fOrerunner of what 1t
will accomplish in the years to come
with steadily increasing population and
accumuating wealth developing its
vast natural resources and utilizing the
advantages of location in the heart of
the American continent

SOBER TALK ABOUT THE CUP.

Chicago News Contests Of this nature
should cease until both sides can promise
to exercise common sense and not show a
childish loneliness and foolish quickness to
pick up trifes. The cup stays In America,
where it has been for many years, but the
yachting clubs pleasure in it is spoiled.
Minneapolis Tribune: Defender comes out
of the contest technically winner, but not
under conditions entirely satisfactory to the
American people, whose champion she was.
There is hardly doubt Of her ability to win
under perfectly fair conditions; therefore
her triumph without thorough test of the
respective qualities Of the two vessels is a
disappointment.
New York Press: But the great point Of
the race is ths-that the Yankee boat, Grip
pied, whether by chance or fault,
almost thrown out of the race by
seemed a hopeless predicament and
sailed such a race as never before was
seen. There can be no more glorious and
inspiring proof of Defenders superiority than
that long, that all but victorious, stern
chase after the casualty of the start, in the
most remarkable race that was ever sailed
by any yacht.
Kansas City Star: London papers attrib-
ute the unfortunate collapse of the America s
cup match to the "unmannerly mobbing OF
the sovereign people over the water VINO,
having planked down dollars for spectacle,
insist upon having a good look at anybody s
cost or inconvenience" The evidence is
overwhelming that the boats nearest to Val
kyrie at the start were fully half a mile
away and surely a mile of clear water is
enough for small boat to maneuver in.
Dunrayen's fellow countrymen are only max
ing a bad matter worse by unwarranted at
tacks on the American people, the farest
sportsmen in the world
Denver Republican: The most rational
explanation Of Lord Dunraven's conduct in
withdrawing Valbyrie III from the race
Thursday is that he knew his boat was un-
able to cope with Defender. The excuse of
threatened interference given for his con-
duct is puerile, and II presented by the own
ers of the American craft would be laughed
to scorn by the English press. There is a
great deal Of humbug about the pretense so
constantly made that the English have a
higher standard Of "sportsmanship p'-what-
ever that may be-than any other people,
and Lord Dunraven's action will go far to
dispel that silly delusion, we trust
st. Paul Pioneer Press: The Englishman,
IL Is evident, goes off mad, although what he
is mad about is not disclosed. In an inter-
view Thursday night he is re-
ported to have said that he had
been subjected to an insult from the
resources of the Associated press are equal
to almost anything, but they have not yet
been able to find out in what this insult con-
sists. The plain conclusion is that the Eng
lishman has lost his temper, and with his
temper the courtesy and fairness which BELTS
both his rank and his character as sports
man,
st. Paul Globe: 1t appears to be unques-
toned that, when the line was crossed there
was no other craft within half a mile of
Valkyrie. Her owner declined to let her go

BRAZIL Asserts rs Rights.

Brazil will hold 1her nisland Of Trinidad and
England has surrendered her bogus claim to
it. Brazil has sent military and naval
force to assert her supremacy over Trinidad,
and this seems to ChayG been enough for Eng
land. 1t is well for a country to act with
promptitude when, an enemy invades its terri
tory or its rights even II the mugwumps say
that this is jingoismri Had Brazil been negli-
gent in the case Of Trinidad when England
turned up there with a cable, the island would
have been under Engllsh rule and control by
this time, and England would have been in
possession OF a nayal station that would
surely be Of great advantage to ner in the
event of hostilities with Brazil. The nation
that is not constantly watchful, or that does
not ever stand ready to assert its rightful
authority, is sure to be trampled under foot.
We congratulate cur friend, Brazil, upon her
retention of Trinidad.

The biggest thing the Nebraska rail
roads ever did for Omaha is the an
nouncement OF d blanket rate from
every point in Nebraska to the state
fair of So for the round trip. From
points where the regular fare is less
than So one fare for the round trip will
be charged. Any man at Crawford or
at Benkelman, in the remote corners of
the state, can ride to Omaha and return
for So. This means that the railroads
want to see the state fair made a
bowling success. We venture to say
that none of them has rolling stock
enough to handle the people their liberal
rates will attract to Omaha.

The Grand Army, in choosing Colonel Ivan

did honor to a soldier who seems to have

army you must do your best to get killed"

soldier, including captivity. He went through

Lying About the Contract.

The State Journal with its usual disregard
of truth insists that the Beemer contract
provides that all over the 40 cents per day,
not necessary for the maintenance of the
convicts is to be returned to the state. The
contract Is printed in another part of this
paper 1t was drawn with the purpose OF
conveying that impression to the non-critcal
reader, but it does not provide for the return
of any part of that 40 cents per day. The
contract says: "The state is to pay me 40
cents per capita per day for each prisoner
confined in the penitentiary. / to account
for the same as hereinbefore provided. To
account" for money is not to pay 1t back
and nowh:re in this contract is 1t provided
that any part of that 40 cents per diem shall
be turned into the state treasury. The abll-

NEW WOMEN AND OLD MEN.

Chicago Post.
New women have the floor today;
Old men are seldom heard. ..
We hark to what new women say,
We hang on ev'ry word.
New women throng the city streets
And climb the country hills.
With them old men cannot compete
Except in paying bills.
New women have the public eye;
Old men are crowded out.
New women's aims are always, high,
Whatever they're about.
New women tell us how to vote,
Through life they show the way,
But all the cost you'll kindly note
Old men still have to pay.
New women talk and write at length
on all the well known themes;
They show unwontetd force and strength
In phlanthropic dreams.
Old men are quickly pushed aside,
BY woman's vim and dash, .t..,
But in the end it's not denied .......
They must supply the cash.
New women do a lot OF good,
We all, of course, admit,
And doubtless If they could they woul4
Do plenty more of 1t.

In almost eVry cline,
But If old men were not in call,
Pray, would they have the timer
