According to Secretary Gage, the
greenback money issued by the gov
eminent and bearing no interest
whatever is very dangerous, unsafe
money. But let the Government
print a bond Of $1,000, bearing inter.
est, sell ii to a banker, and the bank.
er deposit it with the Government,
and 100 ten dollar pieces of money
be issued TO the banker for the $1,000
Government bond, and that money
according to Gage is as safe as gold.
Gage and the Republicans must play
the people of this country for a lot
Of fools. The Government stamp is
good if it bears interest but il it
draws no interest it is dangerous.
And yet this man Gage has the
cheek to draw up a currency bill and
ask Congress to pass it. he is
either a fool or o knave, and we do
not are which horn Of the dilemma
bis friends take.--Town Talk.

The Suffrage Clause.

One of the most important ques-
lions which will engage the atten-
ton of the approaching Constitutional
Convention is that of the suffrage.
There is a well nigh unanimous SEN
timent that il must be so shaped as
eliminate the ignorant and corrupt
negro vote, but in order to accom-.
plish this it will be necessary to cut
off the white nan who stands in the
same category. Right here is where
the shoe pinches. We are in favor
of saving every white man possible,
but we want no juggling, 20 shib-
boleth scheme or gauzy fraud as some
propose. 1t must be a clear cut, en-
phatic declaration, and place the
voters qualifications beyond the
reach Of any Interpretation or per-
mission Of political %henchman and
tricksters. In this connection we
desire to lend our hearty endorses
ment to the following remarks of
Hon. E. B. Kruttschnitt, in his
speech at Washington Artilley Hall !:
"If the convention solves the suf-
frage question, it may close its doors
and 60 home satisfied that it has
done its duty. | don't want to see
anything else taken up before this
question is solved. / believe we
should take a lesson from the enemy,
and follow the example Thomas B.
Reed in Congress. A motion to e
consider and to table on this suffrage
question ought to prevail before any
other business is taken up. I be.
lieve that we have as representative
a selection of delegates as we could
have hoped. | am in favor of that
plan which will eliminate the small
est number OF white men and the
largest number OF negroes. We. can
do better than the State of Missis-
sippi. That plan means the crystal
lization of fraud in the organic Law.
| think that South Carolina was bet.
ter, for it contemplated fraud only
up to a certain date. 1t was an i'm
provement, in that it was a tempo
rary fraud. while Mississippi's fraud
is eternal.
Il believe we can do better. We
a execute the plan by the sacrifice
of the fewest number Of whites, and
| am sure that they would have the
patriotism to give up their citizen
ship to accomplish the results sought.
l think that the time is ripe Tor the
experiment we are about TO make"
