| New York Journal,
Some Of our republican contemporaries
determinations which we hal thought were
buried forever when tine manhood OF every
part eff the Union splang to the defense
CT the nag in the war with Spain. One Of
them urges the rigid enforcement of the
fourteenth amendment against those
Southern States that disfranchse negroes.
! mis- ameudment provides that when IN any
State the right Of suffrage of any Of its
male Inhabitants who are II years old and
citizens OF the United States is denied or
lin amy way abridged, except for the par
ticipatlon IN rebellion or other crme,' the
basis of congressional representation for
chat State shall be reduced in the proper
ton which thu number OF such dlsfranchis-
ed citizens STALL bear TO the whole number
of citizens q years Of age.
How is this rule TO be applied? In the
South the States u Miss ssippl and South
Carolina exclude ignorant citizens from
suffrage by educational qualifications. bu.
If We punish them for that We shall have
TO punish tho Nort,-ern States of Massl.

ming. which do the same thing Almost

tons on the suffrage which 4 would ha dff.
