A PRACTICAL RATHER THAN A C0NSTITU-
TlONAL QUESTION,

The Tarhoro Southcrner makes good
point when it says the Republicans viii
fail to interest the people in discussion
as to the constitutionaliy. The people
will consider whether they desire to dis
franchise the illiterate negroes and will
leave to the courts the settlement Of
the constitutionality of the amcpdment
The Southerner sums up its argument
thus:
"Shall the negro cease to be political
power to do evil?
Those who, would have the negro
eliminated will vote for the amendment
and those who prefer to stand cheek by
those who prefer to stand cheek by jowl
with "Cdfree," will vote against them
and that is all there is to the matter,
so far as the people are concerned. The
people are not lawyers not skilled in
questions Of constitutional law. They will
Therefore not pretend to anticipate the
courts. But they do know what they
want. and in this respect caqn very int
diligently vote on the proposed changes in

A QUESTION FOR THE SUPREME COURT
or III UNITED STATES.

We are informed that Republican poll
ticians are trying to- scare the people
about the amendment by telling them
that "our Supreme Court" meaning the
present Republican Supreme Court will
decide the amendment unconstitutional.
In confirmation Of their prediction they
cite instances in which that court has
set aside legislative enactments.
Let no one be alarmed by these threats.
In the first place, the amendment, if
ratified by the, people, will not go into
practical effect until the election of 1902.
That election will doubtless be held in
November, and at the same time the
people will elect three new membars of
the Supreme court, so that this question,
if it gets before our State courts at all.
will i'm all probability have to be decided
by the new court.
We do not mean to say that the present
Supreme court would decide the question
against the amendment or contrary to
law, if it could come before it; we mere
ly state the facts as to the earliest time
the amendment can be applied, and that
it could not sooner become the subject
of investigation by the courts, and the
fact that the people will, at the same
election that it goes into practical effect,
elect new court.
In the second place, the point made
against the amendment, is not that it
violates our State Constitution nobody
claims that-but that it violates the 10Th
amendment to the Constitution of the
omitted States. Now il this question, be-
ing Federal question, should get before
the Supreme Court of this State, its de-
ciSion would not he any more binding
or final than the decision of a Judge
of the Superior court is on a question of
the construction of a State law, and
only a decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States can settle it, SO that
if a ease involving the constitutionality
of the amendment can be gotten before
our State Supreme Court before the new
judges shall have been elected in 1902
and qualified, and the coArt should de-
eide against the amendment, its decision
would amount to nothing unless, upon
appeal, the Supreme Court of the United
States should sustain its decision. which
it will not, indeed, CANNOT DO unless
1T should reverse its own decision in the
Mississippi case, and disregard the over
whelming arguments and reasons in ia
vor of its constitionality.

The Death Of Henry Quinn.

The many friends Of Henry Quinn
were inexpressibly shocked "Wednesday
afternoon by the announcement of hit
death, which took place about 2:30
at his home, corner of Seventh and
Franklin streets. He had been i'll but
a few days, and it was thought by his
friends that he had passed the crisis
and was in a fair way for recovery
His affection was what is ordinarily
called Ia grippe, involving lung
troubles and general prostration, and
it was probably from the latter that
the life.current stagnated, a lack oil
vitality to recuperate from the strain
placed upon his enervated system.
Henry Quinn was born in Huron
ILL.,, in 1869. He moved with his par.
ents to Dakota when twelve years oil
age and came to this State in 1881
After several years residence in Sc.
attic, he came to this city and en-.
gagged in business with Mr.. j. H. Scott
and they were ever afterwards in
separable companions, their business
interests being cemented by the warm
ert and most devoted friendship. Mr.
Quinn was married in 1894 to Mis-;
Alice Wanlass, who survives him, and
is heartbroken by her terrible afflic.
ton. A wide circle of friends mourn
the loss of man of the most generous
impulses. Everybody who knew
him intimately loved and respected
him.
The funeral rites took place this af.
ternoon at the family residence, Rev
Henry l.. Badger officiating, and q
long line OF crowded carriages followed
his remains to their resting place
in Masonic cemetery.
