INTERESTING ADMISSIONS.

A discussion Is going on at the North as
to what will be the ultimate status OF the
persons in the islands OF the sea whom
we. in the discharge OF our responsible
ties" growing out of the war with spain,
have taken, or may take. under the pro-
tecting wing Of the American eagle. BY
many annexatlonists II Is held that IL does
not follow that these persons shall be al
lowed TO vote The 8nti-ann exationists
contend that under our present form of
government. no territory the United States
may become possessed Of can be debarred
indefinitely from statehood. If this posi-
ton Is correct. and It is fortified by the
opinion of some OF the ablest constltu-
tional lawyers in the country, the conten-
ton of the Imperialists touching the issue
falls to the ground, unless. indeed. we are
to make a radical change in The organic
law of the land. In default of such
change. our new wards" would become
eventually full-fedged voters. That con-
dition would follow under the Constitu-
ton and the dictum of the Supreme Court
Article XIV. section /, of the Constitu-
ton, says that:
"All persons born or naturalized IN the
United States and subject to the jurisdic-
ton thereof are citizens Of The United
States"
Article ~, section 2. contains the fol-
lowing:
''The citizens Of each State shall he en-
titled to all the privileges and immlnities
OF citizens in the several States"
And the Supreme Court has closed up
any loophole the annexationists may see
in the words born or naturalzed.' by
declaring that:
Every nation acquiring territory, by
treaty or otherwise, must hold it subject
to the Constitution and laws Of It's own
government. and not according TO those
of the government ceding It."
However not the least interesting fca-
ture of the discussion is found in certain
admissions Of both sides. The contention
Of the Imperialists is negatively, or by
implication, an argument against TIE adj
visibility Of making voters of any more
members Of inferior races. Such deliver
ances as we give below from our anti
Imperialistic contemporary, the New
York Evening Post questions directly the
wisdom Of so doing. Having stated the
proposition of the Imperiaists that it
does not follow that ell persons who
have been or may be brought into the
Union by our conquests shall be allowed
to vote, the Post makes these points:
well. why should they not be allowed
to vote? Is 1t because they are ignorant?
They cannot be more so than the southern
plantation hands upon whom we forced
the right of suffrage directly after the
civil war"
Note the words 1--WE forced" Can It be
that both Imperialists and anti-Imperial-
lists within the Republican fold are learn
ing a lesson from the conditions in North
Carolina? We hope so. But he that as IT
may, the Posts points are we'll taken
and are a scathing commentary upon the
craftsmanship" that made he negro a
voter and the "humanitarlanism" that
would present TO us the alternatives CT
revolutionzng our system Of government.
or putting the ballot into the hands of
millions of semi-savage Mohammedans,
Pagan Malays, and Negrtoes.

TIE RALNES INV.

One Of the great issues in to-day's cleo
lions In the State of New York is the
Raines iiquor-license law. The Republic
can party passed this law, and now up
hold it, The Democrats have never ia
vored the measure, and would take great
pleasure in repeating it.
Under this enactment the funds derived
from licenses for the sale of liquors are
divided between the State and the city
or county. as the case may be. The State
receives one-third, if what we have seen
I'm some Of our New York contemporaries
be true. The result is that greater New
York contributes about Sl,70O0oo per an
mum to the States portion.
In fine, by reason Of this rich contri-
button from the cities and towns of the
State the Legislature is enabled 10 make
a smaller assessment than it would
otherwise have to make upon the real
estate Of the people.
And so, while we can well understand
that the law is very unpopular in the
cities, we cannot believe the country
people are very indignant about it. In
the rural districts 1.-The canal frauds"
which are clearly chargeable to the Re
publican administration Of the State Of
New York, are much better campaign
material than the Raines law. BY these
frauds, which were perpetrated in q
most unblushing manner, millions of dol
lars appropriated by the Legislature for
the purpose Of enlarging the Erie canal
were swallowed up by contractors, en-
gineers, and political "heelers."
And so we predict that if Van Wyck is
able to reduce the Republican majority
in the up-country it will be more on
account of the war made by the Demo-
Gratis on the canal ring than that made
by them against the continuance Of the
Raines law.

Soap bubbles out of pipe, nor knew

She was born to wealth and house OF

And must be proper and dignified.
Dear little girl am sad for you;
They have ilched your world of its ro-

And stolen your years and your dreams
away;
And YOU are a little girl no more,
Poor little martyr in pinafore.

THE PANA FIGHT RENEWED.
Several Men Are shot, But No one
IL Killed.

PANA. ILL, November THE fight be-
tween the Alabama negroes and the lock-
ed-out miners was renewed yesterday de-
veloping the fact that the imported men
and white miners are again armed with
Winchesters and revolvers, and that they
are using them.
Hostiities were renewed Mt the noon
hour. just as the congregations OF the
various churches were being dismissed
Some Of the negroes and miners met near
the Baltimore and Ohio southwestern
station and began a quarrel, which soon
assumed the proportions of INST hght,
and was followed by several volleys from
guns in the hands Of men of both rae
tions. who put in an appearance from the
mines and elsewhere.
1t is known that two of the negroes and
several of the white miners were wound
ed but none was killed
Many OF the soldiers were at church, or
Just leaving when the firing was heard,
but they were soon in line with the Cat
ling gun and under way TO the scene OF
the shooting, under command of Major
Butler.
An eyewitness says that the white
miners finding a negro at the railroad
station. bounced upon him and beat him
in a terrible manner. He managed TO get
away from his tormenters. it is said, and
ran toward the company's row Of houses,
yelling at the top Of his voice.
In less than half a minute twelve or
fifteen rolored men, armed with Winches-
ters and revolyers. were i'm the street, eX-
changing shots with fifty miners who
seemed to come from every direction,
also armed.
PaRdemonium regned for a few min
utes I'm the vicinity of State street. Wo-
men and children ran hither and thither,
scarcely knowing which way TO turn or
where TO go.
Major Butler put on strong guard
and It is thought he will be able to keep
the situation well in hand.

A DIFFERENCE.

The political parties in New York.
Baltimore, Chicago, and other great cities
spend thousands OF dollars advertising
their speakers appointments. their adj
dresses to voters. &c. One Of the highest
charging papers in New York on Sunday
had several columns of paid matter, com
pairing the two political parties in New
Jersey.
Moreover, the average speaker at the
average political meeting there does not
get a line Of notice in the newspa
pers! Croker, Choate, Roosevelt, Van
Wyck. and men of that class may be
sure OF column or two, but the hum
bier sort are happy and thankful to be
mentioned in print at all.

Leave of absence for twenty days has
been granted Colonel James II. Young.
Third North Carolina Volunteer Infan-
try" So army orders read, and as the
colonel in question is the colored indi-
vidual from North Carolina-the only
negro colonel in the United States army
it is more than probable that the leave
OF absence was granted with view 20
his taking part in the North Carolina
election to-day. Doubtless he would like
to take his regiment with him; and
doubtless the Republican administration
would like for him and would authorize
him to do so, If they dared to take such
q step.

Praise for n Virginia Regiment.
Savannah News.

icdN AMMAN ANtNosl
One Of the crack regiments OF the
Seventh Army Corps is the Fourth Nir-
ginia. 1t is in the Second Brigade of the
Second Division, and is commanded by
Colonel G.. w. Taylor. The bluest blood
of Virginia is represented in many of the
officers and men, and they maintain the
standard of gentilty and fine breeding
that has been established by sons of
their native soil.
Many of the members Of the regiment
are known TO the people Of Savannah, of
whom not few are themselves from
Virginia or descended from Virginia
stock, and the regiments stay near the
city is being made more pleasant than it
might be were IL camped among stran-
gers. Nirginans are always welcome
wherever they go in the South, and Of
Georgia this is particularly true.

The BARRIERS Of Indiana, after some lit
tie fussing and much consideration, have
at last agreed upon a bill to be passed
by their Legislature. which requires that
persons wishing to practice the tonsorial
art shall be examined and licensed, the
same as physicians. The requirements are
said to be extremely rigorous. and many
BARRIERS will not be able TO pass. We are
not informed why the profession" wish
to be so exclusive, nor do we know what
will be the nature of the examinations,
but we trust that only men with the best
conversational talents will be allowed to
pass Since the BARRIERS have taken upon
themselves the duty of enlightening their
customers upon all the topics Of the day.
a liberal education should be required of
them, and none but orators should apply
for license.
The bill. which is designed TO purify
the hair-cutting and beard-trimming es-
adjustments of Indiana, provides for
board of registration of five members.

which he is to pay clerk hire, and the
