Pana, ILL.,, May 31.-Ofiicial announce

decision in the Pana union miners and
operators differences on being made
known here Tuesday was received with
hearty approval by operators, but
treated with disgust by union min
ers. In fact, they hooted at the pre-
sumption of the boards dictation they
would resume work with imported ne
gro and white nonunion miners. How
ever, they agreed to accept the price of
30H cents, as named by the board,
claiming that was the only point they
were called on TO determine. At mass
meeting of the union miners ut the
New Grand theater in the afternoon,
addressed by State President Horace
Calf, of the state board of arbitra-
ton, and State Secretary and Treasurer
w. ID. Ryan, of the United Mine Work
ers of America. President Calf read
the boards decision and advised the
miners 10 accept ii. Secretary Ryan
told the miners they could use their
own pleasure, adding that they could
remain out II years IL they wished, and
should be cared for until the operators
came TO terms. Resolutions were
unanimously adopted accepting the ar
the price, providing mine owners
recognized the union and employed
only union miners. The miners say the
strike is as far off from settlement as
IL was IA months ago.

On last Thursday about two hun

had three-fourths Of the voters in the

only argument on both sides was, it
would help or hurt the Democratic
party. They didn't discuss the NOR
al effect on the community. They
didn't say how many souls the bar
rooms had damned, or how many
souls the dispensary would save. One
speaker said the dispenssry was q
moral question and not a political
one, yet the burden of his speech
was to show that if they got q dis

GOOD DEMOCRATIC AUTHORITY.

An Extreme Mea.ure-WjllPrOve Fatal-A
Violation of Law and Sweeping
Measure.
We have said that if every Popu-
list, Republican and negro should
refuse to vote at all on that amend
ment to the constitution, tina, the
Democrats themselves would not rat
ify it. In the first place, it is not to
their party's interest to dc so, and
secondly, with all their political and
fool hardy rot, by the time the cleo
ton comes, they will have learned
that they are criminally insane, and
that they had better hold up until
they get their new asylum quilt be-
fore they become ravlng mad. The
Atlanta Journal, the leading South
err Democratic paper, says editori-
ally in its issue of February the
"a h:
South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana have imposed restrictions
upon suffrage the effect of which will
be TO disfranchise a very large part
of the negro vote, but the most ex
treme and sweeping measure of this
character is that which the Legisla-
ture of North Carolina has submitted
to the people of that State. and which
will be voted on at the next gen eral
election.
at prescribes an educational and
poll tax qualification for voters; but
to prevent TINS from DISTINGUISHING
poor and ignorant white voters, it
is provided that any person possess
ing other qualifications can vote,
whether failing to meet the Jew con-
ditions or not, if he or his ancestors
could have voted prior to January l,
1867, or before the negro had been
elevated to citizenship.
ut is doubtful whether this amend
ment if adopted VIII stand the test
Of constitutionality.
"It makes an exception in favor Of
white voters, which may be decided
by the Federal courts to be violativ'
of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments. The former confer'
citizenship upon negroes and tn
latter provides that 1.-THE right of thu
citizen to vote shall not be denied OF
abridged by any state on account o
race, color Oh previous condition o
servitude."
I'm South Carolina the right t
vote is based upon an educational
and, alternatively, upon a propert,
qualification, but these qualification
are required of whites and black
alike. Though the South Carolin'
law DISTINGUISHES many more negroe
than whites it makes no discrimina
ton ION account of race, color o
previous condition of servitude," an
is therefore clearly constitutional.
The exception of the North Caro-
lima amendment in favor of thos
who could have voted or whose an
cestors had the right to vote befor
!, January l, 1867, certainly raises
constitutional question and ma
prove fatal to this attempted limita

there expected that the former Pres

believed, will consist of an attack on

the same time point out a way to
