Foul Smelling
Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
citic cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

THE DoG NUISANCE.

Now that the Council Committee or
Streets has acted favorsbly in the mattel
OF removing the Ninth-street sidewalk re-
proach. may we not hope for an aoate
nent of the dog nuisance?
This evil is not only a disgrace to oul
city but source OF great danger. Rich
mond, as we have repeatedly said I'm dis
cussing the subject, Is infested with dogs
OF every degree that roam the streets IT
gangs day and night. The night they
make hideous by their bowling and
snarling. to say nothing OF the fact that
they are liable TO attack pedestrians.
And this menace is accentuated during
the day by reason of the larger number
OF persons. that are on the streets, and
especially by reason OF the disposition Of
children to fondle strange dogs.
Considering the liberty given worthless
ours In Richmond and the number Of
are that we have not experienced a
hydrophobia horror. such as Baltimore
experienced about a year ago.
No other city would have been as for
bearing In respect TO this matter as Rich
mond has been, and IL has become pretty
evident to us that our people do not in
tend TO forbear much longer. There is
talk of making the evil an issue in the
nominations for members OF the Council
this spring, unless the present Council
takes hold of 1t and disposes of It, Those
who are agitating this question are in
earnest. They are sick and tired of the
reproach to the city, and the discomfort
and danger the dog nuisance involves,
and mean business.

WEDNESDAY,. MARCH 2, Il >S.
NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

Inspired thereto by the proce. ings Of
the Louisiana constitutional c lvention,
the Boston Herald devotes Considerable
space to discussion Of III question OF
curtailment of negro .frage. The
Herald maintains that basis OF negro
suffrage is right and in accordance with
the theory of our government. But in the
next breadth 1t presents what we may
term the practical as opposed to the
theoretical view. Craftsmanship" il
says, takes more into consideration than
this; II sees that governments must be
built on the intelligence and mental re-
sponsibility of the people. Furthermore,
the Herald expresses the opinion that the
significant fact in relation to the ques-
ton OF curtailment OF negro suffrage is
the general acquescence throughout the
land that the process is not only inevita-
BILE, but in more or less degree reasonable
This acquiescence our Boston contem-
porary regards as a concession that negro
suffrage "as established in the days i'm
mediately succeeding the emancipation
OF the colored people from slavery, has
been a failure
Up TO this point the Herald stands
pretty well in the light. but it begins to
grope In darkness when 1t declares that
the establishment of negro suffrage after
the war was designed for the protection
Of those who had been in slavery 1t was
designed for nothing of the kind. Negro
suffrage was the offspring of malignity
and greed. 1t was put upon the South
in order to perpetuate the power of the
Republican party and enable the cor
morants of that party to glut them
selves on what of substance the war
had left us. Its authors cared nothing
for the protection" of the negro
then and they have cared nothing for il
since. They know that the southern
whites were the negroes best friends,
yet in order TO the carrying out OF their
programme of keeping the Republican
grip on the throat OF the nation and suck
ing the life blood out of the South, they
labored in season and out of season to
stir up and keep alive race feeling.
The entire history of the Republican
partys dealing with the negro brands as
the veriest hypocrisy the contention of
that party that the negroes were given
he ballot for their protection in any
manner. shape or form. 1t was given TO
them in order 10 make them slaves OF the
Republican party, humliate the southern
whites. and make the work of carpet-bag
and scalawag plundering the easier.
Whatever mag be the future of negro
suffrage. its past is written down indell-
bly, as one of the greatest travesties upon
craftsmanship the world has ever known
and as one of the greatest political crimes
ever committed.

The Mobile Register wants to put on
record that the people of the South, as
represented in that typical southern city,
are not anxious for war 1--WE have"
continues the Register, "felt the pulse Of
the people, and are able to say, with con-
fidence that. whereas they would not
hesitate to come to the defence of the
government, they deprecate war, espe-
cially one that has no good cause behind
it, and would confer no glory upon the
republic, though successful"
Our contemporary then goes on to point
out that war with Spain would be very
bad for the port interests Of the coun-
try. would seriously interfere with
commerce, and would stop development
for a time. and concludes as follows:
'If we have to have war we will bear
our part in it with bravery, but we Go
not want war. We know too we'll what
war means"
Very well put. AS rule. only those
who do not know what war means are
"hankerng" after war.

NEW orleans 1lmeS-DemOcrat.)
Opinion among the members of the
Suffrage Committee of the constitutional
convention seems to have crystallized to
the extent that one of two propositions
will be favorably reported TO the conven-
ton:
/. An ordinance restricting the fran
chise to those who can read and write.
or, in case of illiterates, to those who
own in their own name, or who repre-
sent in behalf of their wives, children, or
wards, taxable property assessed at from
$500 to $500.
g Those who meet the above qualifica-
lions, or, failing in that, can by inter-
preting a clause of the Constitution to the
satisfaction of the registrar, get their
names on the voting-lists prior to Janu-
airy /. 1900, to remain permanently until
removed by death, conviction of crime, or
change of residence. This latter is the
South Carolina plan" and is embodied
In an ordinance introduced Wednesday by
Mr.. Boatner.
AS between these two plans II does
not seem to us that the committee
should hesitate. The first proposition is
straightforward, unambiguous, and en-
trely nOneSl' anu, we DeHeNe, 10 eluoiseu
by the best sentiment Of the State. 1t
eliminates the great mass of negro
voters and a large proportion of the un-
desirable foreign vote of the State, and
depr.ves a very small percentage of de-
sirable white voters of the franchise.
There are an inconsiderable number of
white people in some of the country
parishes who have neither the educational
nor the property qualification. II is true;
but no ordinance can be devised that
would not shut out some few voters that
the drawer of the measure himself would
not desire TO retain the franchise. No
one can doubt that such an ordinance
would eliminate ten times as many I'M
