The Condition of w. A. Mcfarland.

No little concern was manifested at the
District Building yesterday regarding the
condition of W. A. Mcfarland. the Super
intendent Of the District Water Depart
ment. who is very i'll. and who has net
been able to attend to his duties for some
days. 1t was learned early in the day that
Mr.. Mcfarland had been removed to Prov
idence Hospital, and was to undergo an
operation for appendicitis. Fear was en-
teTtained that the operation might prove
fatal. 1t is believed that it was success,
as the patient rested much easier after
ward and was reported to be much bettsr
late last night. The outcome OF the op-
Grafton cannot be ascertained absolutely
for several days. but it is believed that Mr..
Netherlands condition is no longer serious

AS we expected the proposition I

AS we expected the proposition to
disfranchise the negro has finally
spread to Virginia says the Times
Democrat. 1t is almost the last Southern
state with large colored population to
take hold of the problem, although 1t
has suffered more than some of its
neighbors, for the success of Malone
ism and readiusterism was due to the
negro vote. Gov. Taylerstrongly urges
that action be taken, and the PROPOSE
tic has the support Of Senator Mar
tin. 1t is proposed that costitution-
al convention meet in May. 1901. to
frame a new organic law for the state,
the chief feature in which will be some
Limitation of the suffrage that will
smut out the negro voters. The ques-
ton has been before the people of Vir-
glnia for some years, but to disfran-
chise the nergoes 1t was necessary TO
call constitutional oovention; and
the railroads and corporations wers
afraid that convention might prove
hostile to them. This opposition Is
now Withdrawn. 1t Is seen that the
sentiment of the people on this subject
too strong to be overcome, and the cor
porations feel that they are safe against
any hostile legislation in the constitu-
ton. Senator Martin, who led the OPP
position to the change, Is now strongly
in favor o. Limitation Of the suffrage

A higher standard of education
among women can mean nothing less
than higher standard of manners and
morals, of life and character. Indi-
rectly and eventually this will mean a
hi her standard in business, in politics
and other fields OF energy controlled
exclusively by men. For the new
woman is going to exert even a
stronger influence than her sex has
ever e1erted, and it is hard to see
what man is.going to do about it, thinks
the New York World. If the principle
of the survival of the fttest applies to
the struggle for supremacy between
the sexes, the careless aad easy going
male is going to have a hard time of

The burning of the Merge murderer
Dick Coleman, at Marysvills, KY, was
one OF the most savage displays of mob
fury ever recorded in this country. 1t
is almost uncomfortable how sane ami
civilized men can be guilty of such
bsrbarism. Outbursts of this kind
cannot be too strongly condemned.
They are disgrace TO our civilization.
And yet the only remedy that will
effectually stop such brutality hes
within the power of the negro race
itself. Let the negro cease to murder
and assault white women, and lynch
law will be heard of but seldom. This
is what the race leaders should preach,
and it Is what a few of the wisest Of
them are now advocating. Two
wrongs do not make a right but one
wrong in such cases as that in Ken
tuoy certainly does invite another.

gressmen are those who can get a

must also have to do with the
