Suffrage Qualifications m Alabama.

The Mississippi intelligence clause is tricksy in its application. thus inculcating the very dishonesty and demoralization that the people of Alabama desire to avoid; and the Louisiana "1S67" clause Is open to constitutional objections. The latter may be held to contravene the Fifteenth amend ment. It has not been passed upon by tho United States supreme court, and the hold ing of that court is a matter of extreme doubt. Senators Caffery and McEnery, both of whom are good lawyers, have said it is unconstitutional, and that the court of last resort would so pronounce it.
 Mississippi or Louisiana plan. There are other plans. One of the brightest men in this state suggests this as a substitute:
 l. Adopt alternative educational and prop erty qualifications. That is to say, all who can read and write can vote; also those who can not read and write, but who pay taxes upon property assessed at $500.
 ?. All soldiers of all wars can vote.
 3. All can vote upon whom the next sue ceeding legislature specifically and indivldu- ally confers the right of suffrage.
 There is nothing in these provisions that in the slightest manner infringes upon the Fifteenth amendment, which says that the right to vote shall not be abridged on ac- count of race, color or previous condition of servitude. There is nothing in these provisions that invites dishonesty of any kind. There are no discrimina tions of any kind And yet no worthy man need be dis franchised, be he black or white. Each member of the legislature would introduce a bill conferring the right to vote upon John Smith of Smith beat and William Brown of the city of Brownvllle, and so on to the end of the list, which may be as long as ones arm. The bills might be rather volumnous, but mere volume Is a slight objection in such difficult and important matter.
 Perhaps the best feature of the suggested plan consists in the fact that suffrage Is really limited after the meeting of the leg
  islature to the intelligent and the taxpay- CTS. Sons and grandsons who neglect the rudiments of education could not particI- pate in the government of the state. The proposed plan would more quickly place the ballot in this state on a proper and sound basis than any other plan that has been made public. Intelligence and taxpaying are sound foundations of American sover- eighty. child in this state that does not hereafter learn to read and write will be without excuse at the ballot box, for every section of the state will hereafter have good public schools open six months in the year. No one can hereafter shake an illit- crate finger at the state of Alabama. Her schools are to be all she can afford to main- tain, and the illiterate men of the future should be eliminated from the suffrage. The state should not be governed by such men. Education would be promoted by the suggested plan, and the state speedily lifted to a condition of peace and good govern ment based upon intelligence.

servatiens and final report. They are without executive powers. Neither has the president any except in the direction of peace and order. The entire problem goes over to December when congress will be in session. In the meantime General Otis movements on either side of the Pasig river will be watched with deep interest He is plainly moving in the hope that he can conquer peace before the rainy season sets in, and the volunteer regiments are re- called.

 Tickers; cattle infested with ticks" Cam ners; cattle. including tickers, too poor and emacated to sell as fresh meat, and hence canned. Downers; cattle that fall in the cars and are trampled upon by the others Skates; cattle that have fever so that the flavor of the meat must be disguised; they become sausage. The popular knowledge of the economy of beef packing is gaining great deal every day through the testl- mony presented to the board. It would all most have been cheaper for some of the contractors if there had been no war.

Chief Justice Chambers is the Issue.

Samoa has two kings and three consuls, and the consuls cannot agree any better than the two kings do. The British and American consuls support one king, and the German consul the other king. The Amerl- can and British consuls also stand by Chief Justice Chambers, while the German consul demands his recall. The United States consul at Apia is MT. Luther Os- borne, and Admiral Kautz has arrived there to help him out. The British consul is MT. Maxse, and back of him is the cruiser Por- poise. The German consul is Dr. Rose. The chief justice is MT. Chambers, and under the treaty of Berlin, the chief justice Is the umpire of the king-making game He upholds the claims of Mabetoa Tanus, pro- nouncing Mataafa ineligible.
 Germany now. demands the withdrawal of Chief Justice Chambers, but as long as-the British goyernment does not second the motion MT. Chambers will be apt to stay in Samoa in office. No one expects that Great Britain will take the German side in the Samoan muddle.
 The tripartite control of the group of islands is breaking down, and the Blaine plan of division of the islands among the three powers seems to be the more proba- ble outcome. As things stand, MT. Cham bers will doubtless stay at Apiar while the treaty of Berlin remains in force; but all parties in Apia arc In a stranded state Of mind, and 1t would not be surprising if the partnership were dissolved, and the islands apportioned among the three con trolling nations.
 There is not much danger of anything serious growing out of the distant specks in the big sea- and after German anger cools off doubtless some way out of the troubles of kinoly succession will bo found. The German plan Is the worst of all, because it means numerous deadlocks. The Ger mans sey the three consuls should agree before any action is taken. This is mani festly impossible in the succession case, and it would rarely be found to be d feasi= ble method. for there would be d stubborn consul in almost every contested matter.

pEMooKATs SHOULD BE HARMoNIou

From the New York Journal.
 The contention between the organizers of rival democratic dinners is as undignified as it is unwise. It creates a division in the ranks of the party at time when fac tional differences were being forgotten. It incites personal rancor between democrats and can only result in widening the chasm that federation was rapidly bridging. This controversy can do no good. It may do much harm.
 not afford to subject themselves to public ridicule. It is the height of folly to quarrel over the price of dinner given to celebrate the birthday of Thomas Jefferson, or to say that some democrats will be welcome and others will find the doors shut in their faces. There cannot be too many dinners given in honor of the patron saint of dem ocracy but let wisdom preside at every banquet table and let the spirit of liberal ity and harmony animate every speaker.
 Within year we will be engaged in a great struggle for supremacy in national affairs. It is necessary that democrats of every shade of opinion should unite in a patriotic effort to save the country from , the aggressions of the criminal trusts from the grasp of corrupt corporations
 The republicans will be united. They al- ways fall into line like soldiers when their party calls. Why should the democrats waste their ~time and energies in futile bickerings that only serve to SOW the seeds of discord and disintegration?-

We belive that candidates for
consideration by the people at the
spring election should be named
carly as possible in. order that
tho people may carefully consider
whether they are men that will
enforce the law under a no-li-
cense administration, or not, a.
there are good many temper
ance people that sincerely be-
lieve in no-license management
of the village but vote the license
ticket for the reason that it is
questionable whether the laws will
be enforced and if they are not
they will be held up to ridicule
by the high license element.
Again, If the temperance people
will name their candidates early
they can go to those who are
doubtful as to tho law being en-
forced and by the character and
reputation Of their candidates as
sure them that If elected they
will fully carry out the law.
