Constitution.

In some respects South Carolina en-
joys the distinction Of having the most
unique laws of any State in the Union.
Her rigidity on the divorce question
is well known. She not only positive
ly refuses to annul the contract be-
tween husband and wife, but takes a
stand fully as determined in her re-
fusaI to recognize any such nullification
when enacted by another State. "Once

But decidedly the rara avis of the le-
sal aviary is the present law--or. rath-
er, laws-of registration. South Caro-
linians, especially those directly inter
ested in their enforcement, claim for
these laws that they are not Cnly eff
fective, but that they are potent fac
tors in the material advancement OF
the affairs OF the State and the con-
dition of the people. They hold, fur
ther, that while these laws may put
some restrictions upon the old and
broad latitude of ''civl liberty to all. =
they, on the other hand give such
wholesome confine to ignorance and
vice as to produce truly heaithful sys-
tenn of political invigoration,
The enforcement of these laws, they
declares, has given a greater impetus
to the cause of education than has ever
been known before. One OF the re-
suits has been the founding OF two in
stitutions of learning such as few
States have without money and with
out price" The one is a normal and
agricultural college for boys and the
other a normal and industrial institute
for girls Each provides literally for

schools are principally the sons and
daughters of small farmers and labor

In order to enjoy the liberty of the
ballot in South Carolina a man must
measure up to the following re-
uuirements: He must be able
to read and write He must
be prepared to explain any part
of the Constitution when read to him
by the registration officer. He must
have paid all taxes for the year. includ-
ing poll tax Moreover, should he fail
to register by the time liTnit-at pres
ent it stands fixed for January L, 1895
he must show, in addition to his ability
to read and write and understand the
Constitution his ownership of property
assessed at not less than $500 The
object of this property clause is to en-
force prompt registration.
All elections are by ballot. There is
no voting or counting of votes in secret.
Every thing must come under the eye
of the registration officers elected by
law. Every candidate, from Trial Jus
tice to Governor, is voted for at one
time. Even when the Governor has the
appointive power the people speak
through the ballot designating their

NEW YORK. Oct 30.-Speculation as
to Who OF the Mayoralty candidates viii
fall heir to the votes that would have
gone to Henry George, had he not died,
is supplying discussion of the issues Of
the New York municipal campaign.
Comparatively few regard it as likely
that the younger George can poll more
than fraction OF the votes that would
have gone to his father, the general
opinion being that the selection of lhe

father's dying hands. while touching
ana fitting in the abstract, is uniting
in the pracJicabilities of politics.
So far as the public are aware, young
George does not represent in any es-
sentiai degree the philosophy OF mis-
father. For the most part, it is point
ed out that the young man has been
but worker in the journalistic ranks,
and rOt distinguished by any mark
of ability beyond that which is pos
sessed by thousands of others, and thai
he las never appeared before the pub

political system or economic theory.
There is a disposition in both the Re-
publican and Democratic camps to dis
pute the claim put forward by Mr..
Low yesterday that Mr.. George, had
he fOreseen his demise, would have ad-
vised his followers to go into the bat
tie On Tuesday next under the colors
of the Citizens Union. There is also
much said about the alleged imprO-
pIiety in Mr.. Low putting forth what
his opponents term bid for the George
vote while the corpse Of the dead
leader was yet uninterred.

are as follows: Van Wyck VS.. field,

as more closely Indicative Of public
