velops surprises In the way Of newly dis
covered evidence or overlooked decisions.
but the one recently developed in the ap-
portfonment suit now pending in the Su-
preme Court of this State is probably
without a parallel. The reference is to
the point made by one of the counsel for
the appellee as to the effect of the ff-
tenth amendment to the Constitution Of
the United States. The amendment says:
1.-THE right of the citizens Of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by any State on account Of
race, color or previous condition of servi-
tude." This amendment too effect
March 30. 1870. It's effect was to elimi-
nate from ali State constitutions and
laws the words white" or white race"
when used as a qualification of voters.
Prior to the adoption of the amendment
the Constitution of this State restricted
I the right of suffrage to white male citi-
zens over the age of twenty-one." and
the clause relative to the enumeration Of
inhabitants as a basis for a-pportionmeht
contained the same restriction. The in
slant effect of the adoption Of the fif-
teenth amendment was to strike the
Word white out of both of these
618uses. 1t could not be otherwise, since
the word was used for the express pur-
pose of denying or a~bridging the right Of
colored citizens to vote or to be counted
in the enumeration Of inhabitants pre-
liminary to an apportionment Of the
State for legislative purposes. 1t was not
necessary, except as a matter Of form,
for the people to amend the Constitu-
they afterwards did, or for the Legisla-
ture to legalize the Constitution of the
United States by supplementary legisla-
ton. The fifteenth amendment enforced
| itself. Its adoption invalidated all APP
| portionment acts passed prior to 1885
based on an enumeration Of white in
| habitants only. Under the fifteenth
! amendment it would be illegal to hold All
election under any apportionment act
| passed prior to 1885. Being an abridg-
| ment Of the right Of colored citizens to
| vote or be represented in the Legislature,
| those acts are dead beyond any posi-
bility of revival, and an election held I'M
| der any one of them would be void.
The most surprising feature Of the case
is that the point should lave remained
| so long undiscovered. The apportion-
ment litigation has been going on sew
eral years. able lawyers have fought
over every inch Of the ground. h Su-
preme Court has ~traversed 1t several
| times, and the brightest legal minds in
the State have been focused on the SUBJ
| ject, yet all the time they have been
treating as valid apportionment laws
based on the enumeration Of white in
h~abitants only. They simply overlooked
the celebrated fifteenth amendment.

DOCTRINE OF NON-INTERF Err
ENCE.

The above is the subject Of an article
from the facile pen of that distinguish
ed writer, Prof. Jerome DoWd, Of
Trinity College.
The happy writer adyerts to the re-
bellion in Cuba, and the constant and
perplexing American troubles. lie
argues well, gives some good and sub
stantial reasons, but might ne not
have come nearer home and made II
more pointed, by giving some home
thrusts that would have carried CON
yiction with every sentence and every
word.
The argument. however, was intend
ed and does apply to nations, yet the
writer very aptly asks if the law does
not apply to nations as well as indi-
viduals. In speaking Of wrong deeds,
he quotes from Hugo, who says: The
one who allows. it to be done is the
worst, because he is a coward"
Every citizen has duty TO perform,
and the merely living life for himself
alone without any regard for ms
neighbor, is not worth the living.
The article is well worth the reading,
and persons who want something solid
should send for the Advocate Of Peace
and read Prof. Jerome Dowd's article.
