The most important result of the Ala
bama election is the decision to hold
constitutional convention which will dis
franchise the ignorant negro voters. If
Alabama should follow the example of
Mississippi, Louisiana and North Caro-
lima, and discriminate against black igno-
rance only, she will do much to encourage
and justify reduction of her representa-
ton in Congress and in the Electoral Col
lege.-N. Y. World
The result of the elections of 1896
ought to have settled the silver question.
Mr.. Bryan would not have it so. He per-
suaded the Democratic party to follow his
advice, and the people are compelled to
pass upon the question a second time. 1t
is clear that Mr.. Bryan begins to fear that
the court will not reverse itself. This is
quite likely, but does not remove the issue
or make it less imperative that the iudg-
ment of 1896, since it has been reopened,
shall be reaffirmed.
What light North Carolina has just
thrown on Mr.. Bryan's paramount is
sue" Why is nothing said by the elo-
quent Nebraskan against imperialism in
one of the Oldest American states Does
not the constitution follow the flag into
North Carolina, and are not the negroes
born and bred there citizens, and as such
entitled to all the rights and immunities
enjoyed by the whites Why, then, is the
champion of the Filipinos silent upon the
infamous treatment of American citizens
Chicago Post.
If imperialism" means denial of con
sent of the governed, then imperialism
exists in North Carolina. 1t is not estab-
lished by the Republican administration,
but by the military" methods of Demo
cratic red shirts. 1t is not put in force
against rebellious Malays, but against
law abiding native Americans.
Will Mr.. Bryan in righteous indignation
denounce the imperialism" established
in North Carolina Or will craven fear
of losing votes force him to be dumb p
Chicago Inter- Ocean.
In taking the franchise from the blacks
in it's historic stronghold of the South, the
Democratic party has struck powerful
blow at universal suffrage. 1t will deny
it and say it was because the blacks were
'illiterate," but that is nonsense. The
blacks have been DISTINGUISHED because
their possession of a voice in public af-
fairs was distasteful to the Democratic
whites. After this it will be, compare
lively easy to disfranchise any other group
of citizens, illiterate or foreign, or rich or
poor, or anything to which majority OBJ
iects.
The essential idea of restricted suffrage
is government without the consent of
the governed, and to that end, in spite
of it's raving over anti-imperialism and
it's giving of aid to the murderous Tagals
the Democratic party is committed.
1t is reactionary policy, totally at va
rance with the American spirit.-N. r

In deveting practically the whole of his
speech to imperialism, Mr.. Bryan seems
to have felt it necessary to defend his
course in urging the ratification by the
Senate of the treaty of Paris. 1t has
been charged by Republicans that but for
Mr.. Bryan's support of the treaty it
would never have received the sanction of
the Senate, and hence that he is RESPONSE
BILE for the national policy on colonial
matters, which is the necessary outgrowth
of the treaty. Mr. Bryan's explanation
of his reasons for the course which he
chose are neither satisfactory nor wholly
ingenious. He argues like man com
PEELED to defend an action which at the
time seemed so obviously the right thing
as to need no defence He seeks to find in
trinsic excuses for an act intrinsically cor
rect; to justify himself for doing some
thing which needs no justification, but
which, having been condemned by party
exigencies, requires some sort of an apol-
ogy. Under the circumstances it is not
surprising that his effort should be weak
and far from convincing. -Neaoark Neaos.

The address of Mr.. Bryan was earnest,
forcible and undoubtedly sincere, and he
made as clear presentation as is possible
of the Democratic attitude upon the ac-
QUESTION of alien territories. Unfortu-
nately for him. he was just as earnest
and possibly equally as sincere in his in
sistence upon silver as the paramount is
sue four years ago. He then predicted
great distress to the nation if the 16 to
panacea was not resorted to. He speaks
of imperialism as though it were already
upon us, although it is not. Congress has
yet to act, and the situation is tentative.
Conceding that the disposition of the Re-
publican party is to hold the Philippines,
that policy can only be maintained in the
event of the early pacification of the
islands. But the controlling issue in the
present campaign is that of the currency.
Mr.. Bryan does not refer to free silver
in his Indianapolis address. 1t is doubt
full if he will do more than allude to it in
his formal letter of acceptance. 1t is
threshed straw, burnt powder. The Amer
lean people demand that the honor and
credit of the nation shall be preserved,
and they have supreme distrust of Mr..
Bryan as a political financier. Phita.

TO AMEND TAX LAWS.
Special Session OF Michigan Lesisla-
ture Begins Today.

LANSING, Mich. December 12.-The
special session of the state legislature cal
led by Governor Pingree last Tuesday for
the purpose of amending the tax laws of the
state SO that railroads and other corpora
tions viii be taxed on their actual cash
value instead of specifically on their earn
ings as at present, will be called to order
in this city today. Heretofore the const-
tuition has made specific taxation Of cor
porations on earnings mandatory, but at
the last election in November, an amend
ment was adopted authorizing taxation of
corporate property on Its cash value at the
average general rate of taxation of all
other property in the state.
A canvass of the Legislators who have ar
rived in the city, shows a strong sentiment
that the enactment of a tax bill should be
left to the next legislature, which meets
the first week In January. They assert that
there is not sufficient time for the present
Legislature to properly consider SO import
ant measure.

PHILADELPHIA, December 12.-Work
was discontinued today on the new gov
errment harbor of refuge at the mouth Of
Delaware bay, and the contractors will
store their plant for the winter. Because

men from conducting operations. AT this
part of the river island is being built,
with the view of causing a greater current,
which, it is claimed, will prevent shoalinS
in the channel.

His Income.
A special dispatch to the New York
World from London yesterday says: Rich
ard Croker has been ordered by the British
income tax assessor to pay a tax on $780,
600 income a year.
How the assessors fixed upon this sum it
is impossible to say.
Croker attended recently a meeting of
the tax assessors at Vantage, and pro-
tested strongly, but to no purpose.
The amount of the tax will be about So
600 a year and the only way Croker can
escape is by proving that his income is less
than the sum assessed for which it will
be necessary for him to disclose all his
sources of income.
