LOUIsIANA,s sUFFRAGE LAW.

1t is understood that steps are about 20
be taken to test the cons titutionahty of
the suffrage provision of the constitution
of Louisiana. The convention that framed
the present constitution met in 1897 II
was openly said when it met that one of
the things it would do was to disfranchise
the ignorant negro voters. Several meth
DDS for doing that were proposed, and
the one that was finally adopted did not
command the approval of many of the
best lawyers of the state.
No other state has a similar suffrage
provision in les constitution. 1t is so
worded that nliierate negroes are deprived
of the ballot, while iMterate whites are
not. Because of THIS discrimination TIE
consttutionality of the suffrage provision
of the organic law is questioned
1t is important that the question should
be settled a an early day. because SIM
liar amendment might be adopted in other
states A constitutional amendment pro-
viding for suffrage similar to that in
Louisiana, is now pending in North Car
DINA, and win be voted on in August
The question of putting the Louisiana
suffrage idea in the constitution of this
state was presented to the Legislature at
it's last session, but it did not meet with
favor.
Il is not improbable, however. that there
are several states in which a suffrage
Raw similar to that in Louisiana would
be enacted If il were certain that 1t would
be legal 1t is important therefore chat
the question OF the Legality of the Louis
lana method of dealing with the suffrage
should oe settled.

President hurry R. Hubbard of the
Hodgesville and Elizabeth Railway Com
pany, in Kentucky, says: "Our road ran
its first car out of Hodgesville about ten
months ago. The people from the sur
rounding country came to town that day,
among them an old mountaineer He was
very much impressed It was the first
car he had ever seen. The boys jokingly
told him that the car was off for Europe,
and after much persuasion got him aboard.
After the car had started the old fellow
rushed to the door and tried to get off.
He was restrained. Then, thinking all he
had heard was true, he pulled off his cap
aud in The most serious voice said
"Good-by, these United States"
THAI is but one incident showing the
ignorance of the mountaineers. There are
hundreds like him in the mountains"

New Kruger stories.

The following stories of Mr.. Kruger,
says the London News. appear in Mr..
Hobson's book about the Transvaal war,
published by Nisbet & Co:
A few years ago he was induced to take
part in the opening ceremony at Jewish
synagogue. On entering and taking his
place he removed his hat, and paid no
heed whatever to the suggestion of his
secretary, who explained the Jewish Gus
tom of covering the head. When the time
came for the President 5 address, he ejac-
Ulated a few brief sentences and amazed
his congregation by concluding thus: q
declare this syna gogue open in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ" On another
occasion, shortly after he had presented,
on behalf of the state a piece of land ian
erO for the building of a Dutch Reform
Church, he was approached by an influen-
tial Jew, who rendered a similar request
on behalf of a Jewish congregation. The
President promised to consider the re-
quest and soon afterward announced that
ne had granted it. Shortly after, however,
he was waited on by his Jewish friend.
who complained that the piece of land
they had received was only half the size
Of that given for the Dutch Reform
Church. well" retorted Kruger what
fault have you to find? They believe the
whole Bible, so they get an erf; you only
believe half the Bible, and you get half
an erf

MIR. sHELDON's EXPERIMENT.

Some conclusions will be drawn from the
newspaper experiment of the Rev. Charles
NJ. Sheldon of Topeka, Kan, who is man.
one week, beginning yesterday morning
1t is probable that the regular daily ed-
ton of the Capital is somewhere about
10000. The edition yesterday morning
was, if the reports are correct, 100000. In
one week the paper will receive in sub
scriptions and advertisements in all prob
ability pretty nearly as much as it ordi-
narily does in a year.
One conclusion that will be drawn from
Mr.. Sheldons experiment is that a news
paper conducted on the lines laid down BY
him would be a success. This would be
an erroneous conclusion. There are
few people in every community that
would patronize a paper such as this
which Mr. Sheldon is giving the public.
The vast majority, however, want an en-
tirely different kind of paper. Why there
has been such a demand for the paper
that Mr.. Sheldon is editing is that there
is great curiosity to see what kind of a
publication he thinks would be satisfac-
tory to Jesus, if he were on earth. Be
sides, Mr.. Sheldon has acquired a wide
reputation by his book I'm His Steps"
If it were not certain that Mr.. Sheldon
is entirely sincere the whole thing would
be regarded as the greatest advertising
scheme in many years. 1t will no doubt
yield the publishers of the paper between
SIS, 900 and 500, 900.
Mr.. Sheldon, however, could not hold
his 100000 subscribers. If he were to con-
tinue to control the paper for a month
the circulation would drop down to pretty
near the normal figures.
There have been several attempts to
run papers on the line the Capital is
being run, but they were failures. The
shortness of the time of Mr.. Sheldon's
experiment will save it from being a
failure.

DisbcIieved the witnesses.

Recently a woman was on trial before a
police court in Charlotte N. c., says the
Philadelphia Call. She had figured as a
defendant before. Knowing that fact her
counsel on this occasion, who was prov
ing an alibi for her, took occasion to put
on an unusual number Of witnesses, and
some of them of undoubted character. So
confident was he that, when through the
examination, he refrained from addressing
the jury, saying to the court that the wit
nesses for his client were such as to rem
DEL it unnecessary. The Ponce Court
promptly entered up sentence. Observing
the aston, shed looks of the lawyer for the
defendant, he politely said: MIR. b,
your client has been before me several
times. If I were TO believe her witnesses
l never would convict her"

THE WAY THE PORTO RICANs LOOK


The Porto Ricans have an opinion OF
the Porto Rican tariff bill now pending
in the Senate that Is entirely different
from that held by Senator Foraker and
other administration senators In a
speech the other day the senator SAD
that the bill was an act of mercy to the
Porto Ricans. In our dispatches yester-
day the statement is made that the lead
ing men of Porto Rico have joined in a
petition TO Congress in which they point
out that all of the interests of their
island Will langush unless there is free
trade between it and the United States.
These men say that they do not regard
a tariff between Porto Rico and the
United States as proper method of rails
ing revenue for the island. and they give
a number of reasons for thinking so. One
is that tax on their exports means an
embargo on their foreign commerce. An
other is that tariff tax on their exports
would curtail their commerce with the
United States, and the result would be
that their products would be locked up
at home and there would be stagnation in
business and in agriculture.
They give other reasons why they
should have free trade with the United
States, all of which are good ones. They
take particular pains to point out that
before their island became territory Of
the United States they had free trade
with Cuba and Spain, and that they had
a good market for all of their products.
They do not say that they were then bet
ter off than they are now, but that is the
plain inference from what they do say.
The Republicans know very well that
they are making a mistake in trying to
impose tariff tax on the commerce be-
tween Porto Rico and the United States,
but they do not know how 10 avoid doing
so without causing dissensions in the
ranks of their party 1t would be much
wiser for them to come out squarely and
say that it is not revenue for Porto Rico
they are after in denying the Porto Ri
cans free trade with the United States,
but harmony in their own party. Free
trade between Porto Rico and the United
States means free trade between the Phil
ippines and the United States and the
high protection element in the Republican
party would undertake to start a new
party before it would consent TO free
trade between the Philippines and the
United States. The more the Porto
Rican tariff bill is discussed the more
troublesome becomes the position in
which the Republican party finds itself
in connection with the effort TO fix the
status of our insular possessions.

Men Who Give.

No one can estimate the millions given
away in New York in unos tentatious char
ity writes Victor Smith in the New York
Press. A few philantrophists have press
agents, but hundreds hide their gifts I'M
der bushel and keep their right hands in
utter ignorance of the doings of the lefts.
Jim Talcott the big merchant of
Franklin street is a fair example. He
is veritable Shylock in business press
ing hard for the last pound of flesh.
There is no mercy in him when in pursuit
of a debtor, as the whole dry goods dis
trict will attest; but having gained this
end he is likely to turn around and give
to some deserving person or institution
more than the amount at stake. He has
broad reputation as a phiIanthrophist.
Another willing giver is President Seth
Low of Columbia. He gave 800 a year
for eight years to a small mission in
Brooklyn on condition that the money
should be credited to cash" Henry T.
Sloan imposes the same condition when
he gives, which is often.
Men like to give as they please. not as
other people please. They want to select
the objects of their charity. A direct APP
peal nearly always fails. The trick is to
have go-between who will drop a hint
or offer a friendly suggestion Russell
Sage declined to give $500 to a most de-
serving cause for the reason that he
would not be nagged into it by the prin-
cipal but when an old acquaintance sly
ly remarked that here was a fine chance
TO accomplish good the veteran skin-fint
did not hesitate to send his check. Cyrus
Field never would have lent Henry Grady
$4,000 if his brother the Rev DR.. NJ.
Field, had not said, eff you lose the $50
900 it won't hurt you much; give the young
man chance" and if General Gordon had
not written in the same vein.

The Japanese have heard of Mr.. An
drew Carnegie and his liberality in estab-
fishing and aiding libraries. Being a pro-
gressive people, the Japanese would like
to have Mr. Carnegie pay them a visit.
During the visit they would be able to
point out to him several sites in Japan
upon which they are quite sure a nice
library would harmonize with the sur
roundings ana be very acceptable to the
populace. As Japan has been a large pur-
chaser of the products of the Carnegie
steel works. and may possibly continue
in the market for some time, they think
that possibly Mr. Carnegie could see his
way clear to setting up few libraries for
them; especially as they understand that
he is somewhat embarrassed as to the
best means OF disposing Of some 100000 COZ
OF his fortune. 1t is likely that the great
steel king will shortly be invited to visit
Japan.
