Race PREJUDICE.

In Mississippi constitutional amend
ment has been adopted which imposes
the payment Of a poll tax as a quaMhca.
tion for voting. The Supreme court Of
that State sustains this amendment but
frankly says that 1t is a mere expedient
to Obstruct the exercise of the franchise
by the negro race The list of crimes
which disquallfy for voting In that State
show the same covert purpose, as they
include the minor ofRenses such as theft
and obtaining money under false pre-
lenses which are considered as more
readily proven against the negroes, but
do not include robbery, murder and
other felonies.
Whenever a State seeks by covert or
any other unfair means to disfranchtse
any class of its citizens 1t ought to be
stripped Of its statehood and placed In
the category Of territories under the
immediate control Of the general govern
ment. It is high time that this race
war ceased In every part OF this country.
The negroes were freed from slavery
thirty-hve years ago. 1t took the first
ten years OF their freedom to define their
status as to the laws Of the land and
to make them comprehend that they
were self dependent. In the last twenty
FIVE years they haYe made most won
derful progress in education, develop
ment and accumulation OF wealth. The
laws enacted and enforced by their white
fellow citizens in their native States
have greatly Disseminated against them
but they have rapidly adjusted them
selves to every new condition and have
prospered by their own industry and
skill. And when in this day and age
a State Supreme court upholds a law,
which it flippantly AYERS was enacted
with the covert intent Of disfranchising
the negro race, it ought to be stripped
of its judicial robes and It's members
relegated to far less exalted walks OF
life. But there Is some comfort in the
thought that all such barbarous laws
will eventually react upon their promot-
ers. They will stimulate the negroes
to surmount the difficulties which they
impose, and will place the white con-
splratOrs who invented them in direct
competition with tue negroes in the ac-
Quirement Of education and wealth. The
whites who seek to keep the negroes
down by such legal trickery will event.
ually discover that they have been sim
ply offering a prize and reward for the
higher education and development Of
negro citizenship and placing them
selves in direct competition with an in
dustry and thirst for knowledge and
wealth which may distance them In the
strife for supremacy sooner than they
anticipated

Dark Outlook for Senator Hanna

The Ohio Legislature organized Mon
day and anti-Hanna officers are in con.
troll Of both branches Of the Legislature.
The vote in the Senate was 18 to II and
in the House 56 to SO. A greater defec-
tion will, 1t Is predicted, be shown when
the Senatorial election occurs, January
IL, and Senator Hanna's opponents claim
that his defeat is assured. The Demo-
Gratis and anti-Hanna Republicans COM
bined under the leadership of Governor
Bushnell and Charles L. Kurtz.

The Supreme court Of Minnesota has
sustained city ordinance requiring the
tuberculin test Of the cows from which
milk is obtained that is offered for sale
in the city. The court holds that such
test is a reasonable condition in grant
ing license to sell milk, and this is
one Of the cases where reason and good
sense and good law go hand in hand.
1t might be we'll for some of our Kansas
cities to investigate this subject of tu-
berculosis or consumption in the cows
from which milk is obtained. It seems
70 be settled and indisputable fact
that this terribly fatal disease is easily
communicated from COWS to human be-
ings.

cruiser. The Panama left New York
April Goth, $500 tons, and carried a
very valuable cargo including stores
for the Spanish army. When the
Mangrove sighted the S%paniard, she
ran up to her and fired IA gun across
her bows. The Panama did not
take the hint, and another shot was
fired, after which she slowed down.
The third gun was fired across her
bows, and the officer on the deck of
the Spanish vessel was notified that
if he did not heave-to, a shot would
be sent through the vessel. This
notification caused the Panama to
be brought to-. Commander Everett
of the Mangrove boarded a prize
crew from the battleship Indiana,
and after obtaining permission from
Admiral Sampson, took the prize to
Key West.
