SURPRISING TIE LII

SURPRISING TIE ILLITERATE VOTE.
The Supreme Court OF the United
States has sustained the validity OF the
Mississippi election law. This law YVES
enacted for the purpose OF suppress.
ing by legal methods the illiterate ne.
gro vote Of the State, aud imposes
among other qualifications rigid edu.
cational restriction. The result mas
been TO disqualify the msiority Of the
negro voters OF the State and TO assure
white supremacy in State and local ad-
ministrations. The Supreme Court OF
the United States holds that as the
election law applies TO illitera,e whites
as we'll IS to the ignorant colored vot-
ers, the restrictions imposed by the
statute are within the field OF per
Missile seton under the limitations
imposed by the federal constitution. :"
Sioce Mississippi revised its constitution
and enacted new election law South
Carolina has taken equally effective
measures to restrict the negro vote, and
louisiana will soon be in line. The
Supreme Court has indicated the way
in which the southern States can solve
the problem OF their local governments
without resorting TO manipulation of
the ballot box, with the resultant de-
noralization.- BALTIC. Sun.
