A RULE THAT WORKS BOTH WAYS.

Some of our Republican contem-
poraries are taking advantage of
the deplorable race riots in the
South to revive the sectional re
examinations which we had thought
were buried forever when the
manhood of every part Of the
Union sprang to the defence of the
flag in the war with Spain. One
Of them urges the rigid enforcement
of the Fourteenth Amendment
against those Southern States that
disfranchise negroes. This amend
ment provides that when in any
State the right Of suffrage Of any
Of its male inhabitants who are
twenty-one years old and citizens
of the United States is denied cor
in any way abridged, except for
participation in rebellion or other
crime" the basis of Congressional
representation for that State shall
be reduced in the proportion which
the number of such disfranchised
citizens shall bear to the whole
number of citizens twenty-one
years Of age.
How is this rule to be applied
In the South the States of Missis-
sippi and South Carolina exclude
ignorant citizens from the suffrage
by educational qualifications, but if
we punish them for that we shall
have to punish the Northern States
of Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Cali
fornia and Wyoming, which do the
same thing. Almost every State
in the Union enforces restrictions
on the suffrage which it would be
difficult to harmonize with the
letter of the Fourteenth Amend
ment. Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New
Jersey, Delaware, Missouri and
West Virginia exclude paupers
Indiana and Montana disfranchise
United States soldiers, sailors and
marines, aud Vermont refuses to
allow anybody to vote unless he
has obtained the appreciation Of the
board Of civil authority Of the town
in which he resides. What n beau
tiful instrument that last provision
would be for maintaining Caucasian
supremacy in North Carolina!
When it comes to enforcing con
stitutional amendments it will be
found that this is a nation, and that
there is not one Constitution for
the North and another for the
y. journal.
