STEEL WOOL.

Steel Wool, introduced five or six
years ago. is a machine produced ma
terial that is used as substitute for
sandpapcr. 1t is composed of sharp
edged threads of steel, which curl ZIP
together like wool. or somewhat as the
wood nbres of the familiar material
known as excelsior curl up together,
though the steel wool is very much
finer: the finest of it being not much
coarser than the coarsest of natural
woods. The steel wool is put up in
packages containing one pound each.
These are something like rolls of cot
ton batting, but smaller; pound OF
steel wool. loosely packed. making,
rolled in paper and open at the ends,
Il package perhaps fifteen inches long
and two or three inches in diane
ter.
Made in various degrees Of coarse
ness, steel wool Is put to a variety of
uses the finer woods for polishing
wood and metal. ana the coarser for
rubbing down paint and varnish. 1t
is often used on special parts of work,
while. for example. on the fiat surfaces
of a door man would use sandpaper
with Il block back of it: FOR the mould
ings he would use steel wool, which fits

into the crevices andp~conforms itself
to irregular shapes. Such work can be
done with steel wool far more readily
and quickly than with sandpaper, and
it is used with like advantage on ir-
regular and small surfaces and on
carved work.
Besides the steel wool, there is n
coarse material of the same kind call
ed steel shavings. which is put to va
rious uses; as in taking off old paint
or varnish. and in polishing wood be-
fore painting, and it is used on bow
ling alleys and on floors for smoothing
and cleaning them.
Sandpaper clogs in use, steel wool
breaks down. The wool is commonly
used with gloves to keep the ends from
sticking into the fingers.

working the public roads, and serving the.r country as soldiers. An educational quail fcation is required for one to practice medicine; only those learned in the law are allowed to hold political positions; men are excluded from the exercise of the elective franchise on account of moral qualifca- tions; and in most of the states, no matter what may be their intellectual qualifca- tions, are denied the right to vote on ac- count of their sex; and throughout all the union men are denied tae right of the bal lot until they are 21 years of age, in order to secure, to a certain extent, constitu- ency of matured intelligence.
 When the question is raised as to who should be entitled to exercise the right or suffrage, the public safety should be the governing test. It should not be sufficient to say that a man may in time, or his de- scendants may ultimately, acquire suffi- cient intelligence and moral character to authorize them to take part in the govern meht of the state; but the question Is, Do they now possess those qualifications that justly entitle them to exercise the power of government and can they safely be en- trusted with the high privilege of govern ing themselves and their nesi1bors?
 I contend that no greater crime can be committed against the people-yes, against the government itself-than to prematurely thrust the powers of government upon a people Who are morally and Intellectually disqualified to exercise this high privilege. It is incompatib with the public good and has a tendency to weaken and destroy the constitution.
 l do not believe that any gentleman on this floor will controvert the proposition that the public good must determine what quaiffcatiors must be placed on the right

the tool of base, ignorant or interruptions men, by which the liberties of the people will be finally overthrown
 It has been said ''that the right of suf- frage is at the foundation of our govern ment; that it is the moving power and first principle that puts it in motion, and sus tains, operates, and gives 1t direction in all its parts"
 It is evident that when the power of the ballot is given to unfit or interruptions men 1t will in the end corrupt both the voters and the officeholders. and produce bad laws, dishonest legislation, a corrupt judiciary, and tyrannical executive officers. It will corrupt the people because it gives greater opportunity for bad men to succeed by dishonest methods, and a greater temp tation and opportunity to resort to them; and 1t will produce corruption because hon. est men will abhor the means necessary to attain success and leave those men who do not scruple as to the methods to be em- ployed in sole possession of the political field.
 On the other hand, if the privilege of the ballot Is only granted to those who act from patriotic motives, with honesty and intelligence, it e1evates the right of the fran chise, it makes 1t a privilege that every good citizen will guard with care, political power will emanate from pure and incor- ruptible source dishonest men will not dare to enter into the contest for office,
 
 ernment will become Derpetuated in our political institution.
 Whenever an effort is made to elevate the right of franchise or to disqualify unfit persons from the right of the ballot, the demagogue and time server Is sure to at once assail you with the often misapplied and miquoted maxim. that all men are born free and equal" So they are in some respects All men are entitled to equal freedom of action and thought; all men are entitled to stand on equality before the law, and all men are entitled to equal pro- lection, from the government. But it can not be contended that one who Is being con- sumed by hereditary disease is the phys ical equal of the robust young man who has never known sickness, nor can one who has been ushered into this life an i1ot be said to stand the intellectual equal of the great, liberal, and just statesman who wrote the Declaration of Independence. If Jefferson had believed that all men were his mental moral and intellectual equals, he would have returned home and freed his slaves, and insisted that the privilege and duties of government be put in their hands; but he did not do so.
 As matter of fact, nowhere are men endowed with equal political rights today. Some men are exempt from jury duty,
The age-herald., 1900-02-25

of suffrage and that any limitation that is -iaced on this right for the benefit of -, government is not an abridgement of the liberties of the citizen.
 With these principles to guide us, let us take lp the question of suffrage as it is af- fccted by the fifteenth amendment ito the constitution of the United States. It reads as follows:
 The right of citizens of the Unf'ted States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by , the United States or any state on account of race, color or previous condition of ser vftude.
 In Ex parte Marlborough Q10 U. s., page 6e5) the supreme court says:
 This new constitutional right was mainly designed for citizens of African descent.
 As construed by this and other decisions of the supreme court, the negro race Is given privilege under the constitution that is not accorded to citizens of other natonal- ities You can exclude the Mongolian. the Indian, or the white man on account of his race but you cannot exclude the black man. The Indian and khe Chinese are to- day excluded from the right of suffrage in some of the states, regardless of the per sonal qualifications of the individual cit- zen. This being the case, is it just to the great body of American voters to insist that the fundamental law of the land shall grant this protection ito one class of our citizens when it is not granted to other races better qualified to exercise the right of the ballot.
 On the 18th day of March, 1870, when the fifteenth amendment was adopted, the coun- | try had just emerged from bloody civil war: the south was crushed by defeat and devastated by war; the north was triumph | ant and flushed with the success of victory;
The age-herald., 1900-02-25

negro population of the south is no further advanced than it was when the fifteenth amendment was passed, and yet it is not because they have no& had the opportunity. In the state of Alabama they do not pay per cent of the taxes, and yet they have their own schools. their own teachers and receive an equal share of ene school money nh proportion to population. There is not a state in the union where the negro has a. better of faircr opportunity to work at any trade or employment he may desire under the protection of the law than sn Alabama.
 As a race he has not advanced morally or intellectually because he has been forced prematurely into political contests with fhe. superior white race. l do not believe the negro race can ever become the equal of the white race, because the Creator of the uni- verse did not so intend it,but he can develop under the protection and guidance of his white neghbor to poirt where he will reach a proper understanding of the rules, of government and good morals, when he will respect good government and know that liberty does not mean license.
 But this can only aozne by removing tho continued political contests that now exist, and by making the right of suffrage a high P:fvilege to be attained by him, rather than useless right that is not valued or under stood.
 Some may say you can accomplish this fully by an educational qualification, but say that you cdIlilOl accomplish uue result in this way in the south. I have known many young negroes in the south who could read and write as a parrot can talk, who had no conception of the rights of others or the necessity of good government and probably never Will have. On the other hand, I have known honest, law-abiding, property holding white mon, who have not had the benefits of an education and could not read and write, vino understood the theory of our government as well as you or l. whose votes are absolutely above any price, and who are far more capable of ex- ercisfng the right of suffrage than many men who have had an education.
 There can be no doubt that the fifteenth amendment to the constitution Is mas- take. It has failed in its object, and 1t can mot advance the material and moral de- yelopment of the negro race. On the con- trary, it has a tendency to array one race a,gtaintst the other and, as I have already stated. a conflict must inevitably result in injury to both races.
 Let us then face the question fairly and honestly let us repeal the fifteenth amend ment and allow the states the untrammeled pfdvt,ege of regulating the suffrage with out conflict with the federal government. The tendency in all free governments is always toward an enlargement of the fran cihise and it can be depended upon that the sovereign power of the states, vested in the people. will never deprive any man Nf this high privilege in whose hands it can be intrusted without endangering the govern ment and the true principles of afbe:ty.

CONGRESSMAN UNDERWOOD
 ON THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION Brilliant Young Representative From the North AlabamaDistrict Made
 Strong Argument

In discussing the suffrage question in con- gress Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, repre- sentative from the Ninth Alabama district, said:
 "Mr. Chairman, some time ago l intro duced a resolution dn favor of the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the censtitu- ton of the United States. l do not know what fate that resolution may meet with in the committee to which 1t is referred, nor do know that there ever will be an opportunity in this congress to discuss that resolution directly on the floor of this house. I therefore take advantage of this opportunity to give some reasons why I believe the time has not only come when it is not only right. but expedient that the people of the United States should serious 1y, without partisan prejudice political strife. consider this great question of linn itations or the rights of lmita tions. of the franchise in the. United States.
 In his farewell. address to the people of the United States George Washington. in speaking of our government, said: Respect for It's authority, compliance with it's laws, acquiescence in its manners. are duties en- joined by the fundamental maxims of true lIberty." s 4
 In republic the Keystone in the arch of government. above all other questions, must be love of liberty by the citizens of the republic, and the mental capacity and desire to discriminate between true liberty and personal license; for If the la tter Is allowed to go uncontrolled it must result in the subversion of the rights and l1oer- ties of others.
 To the people of the United States belong the sovereign power to make and control the Fundamental principles of government. and first among these must always stand the power to regulate and control the suf- frage.
 We therefore must face the problem as to how we can best grant the privilege of the ballot to those who will understand and uphold liberty in its truest and highest sense, together with the other great prin- ciples of government, and at the same time allow to the citizen the fullest share of civil liberty and freedom of action that can be given without danger to the republic.
 The only true guide that we can use in de- termining how to solve this vexed and diff ficult question is that which is the best for the greatest number of people, and we must not be misled by our sympathies and prejudices for individual or particular classes. We must never forget that the duty of preserving civil liberty, in this country is intrusted to the people as sacred heritage from our Revolutionary forefathers. and the ballot is the weapon by which it must be preserved If properly exercised. for if subyerted it will hecoms
