Restricted Suffrage,

In reply to some criticism of the
Hawaii bill which is now before the
Senate. senator Cullom said, in de-
fence of the restricted franchise
clause. that it was .'as Il means of
protecting the interest of the islands
and their citizens from disorder and
confusion the restricted suffrage quol-
iilcations had been adopted. No dis
elimination was shown against any
race or class of people" Assuming
that this is SO. will senator Cullom,
or any other opponent of qualified
suffrage in the South, tell us wherein
lies the difference in this respect be-
tween these islands and the Southern
States which have or which propose
to adopt qualified suffrage? If it be
proper to protect the interests of
these islands and their people by
eliminating from the franchise the
ignorant and incompetent elements
why isn't it equally proper to do that
in the Southern States. which have
much more at stake than those is
lands have? Ii we understand the
natives of those islands. against whom
the franchise clause most operates.
they are simple, inotfensive and tract
able people. who are easily led and
easily controlled within law and order
lines. which cannot be said of the
mass of the voters who would be
most affected by qualified suffrage in
the South. And vet there are Rcpub-
licans in and outside of the Congress
of the United States who Justify and
defend qualified suffrage in those Pa
citic islands who howl at and con-
denim the efforts of the Southern
white people who are adopting the
very same method to protect their
States and themselves from an ele-
ment far worse and more vicious than
anything they have in the Hawaiian
islands. These howlers should at least
be consistent and concede to the
Southern people what they demand
for those island acquisitions Viii
