EX-SENATOR EDMUaDs ON the Pro.
POSED AMENEMENT.

The Springfield Republican says IL Does
not Require a Constitutional Lawyer to
he a'on out the NJ .ttsr.
The News and Observer must admit
that the proposed amendment is un-
constitutional or that it will disfrap-
chise illiterate whites as well as
blacks. In either case the Democratic
party is in hole. The News and OBJ
server is very fond of copying from the
Springfield Republican will they
please copy the following taken from
that paper.
Ex-senator Edmunds has written a
letter to Senator Pritchard of North
Carolina to the effect that the proposed
constitutional amendment imposing a
reading and writing qualification to
suffrage except to those and their de-
scendants who could vote before
January ], 1867, is in opposition to the
Federal constitution. Such a govern.
ment, he says, scar not be held to be
Republican in legal moral or political
sense" Or course, the aim Of the
anne ndment is TO disfranchise illIterate
blacks and continue the ballot in the
nands OF iiliterate whites. This is so
clearly prohibited by the 18th amend
ment as to require no constitutional
lawyer to reason out the matter.

Tribute from the south.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Apropos of all this. and other news from
Paris. we take this opportunity to express
our admiration of the extremely able and
interesting news service from Paris and from
London which 1.-THE Chicago Tribune" has
been running daily in its columns for several
months past. Several OF the New York dailies

Sunday issues. but they appear rule only
once a week. the brief dispatches which they
get on the other days of the week not amount
ing to much in the way of an Ineligible and
adequate presentation of European news.
The Chicago Tribune's foreign service

II. J. Whigham - from London. taking it

the foreign news service of any of the New
York papers.
one or Two Of the New York papers have
had for years a deservedly high reputation
for presenting their readers with news of in
terest from foreign parts. and the public will
not forget its indebtedness to them on that
account. But it is beyond dispute that the
star of journalism Is Westward taking its

Cd. charges must be collected from
such bona fidecohsignee only. Delivery
to fictitious consignee, or to anyone
who will pay the G. o. D. charges,
constitutes sale without license. After
repeated requests from Agent Lineburg
the route agent of the Adams Express
Co. has issued orders that all G. 0. ID.
liquor shipments must be delivered
only to the consignee personally, and
must be receipted for by him. The
express company will not accept his
written order to deliver the express to
another person, even though an en-
| ploye or member of his family, which
is done with other classes of goods
Neither will the company accept an

RULE AGAINST 1ues.
Express Company Makes Rules Which
Promise 10 Give Relief from
Liquor Nuisance.

Action taken by the Adams Express
Co. is expected to reduce by more than
one-half the volume of liquor shipped
by express into Mt. Ayr. The G. O. ID.
jug trade has been increasing in vol
ume for a long while, and it's effects
have been unpleasantly noticeable much
tc the dissatisfaction of the temperance
people OF the town. The conflict be.
tween state and federal statues has
made liquor prosecutions very difficult
matters ever since the original package
decision was rendered. The best law.
yers are not certain as to what can be
done to prevent the shipment of liquors
into prohibition territory County
Attorney Fuller has been in correspond.
ence for months with Hon. Milton
Remley, attorney general of the state,
yet he has so far failed to get advice
which would guide him in making a
successful fight to stop the jug business.
1t is said by good lawyers that there
is no question Of the transportation
companies being able to win their
cases in the district courts on some OF
the sensational seizures recently made
in this part Of the state, in so far as
liquor billed to bona fide purchasers is
concerned.
The only result, then, which tenn.
perance people have expected to
achieve by these seizures is to hold the
jug trade within a little narrower
limits, by occasionally putting the whole.
sale liquor houses and railroad and
express companies to trouble and ex.
pense. 1t appears now that the re.
strictioE is to be accomplished by action
of the express company.
1t has been customary for agents of
wholesale houses to visit Mt. Ayr,
taking orders for liquor. They would
also make up:'lists Of all the people
who are supposed to indulge in intoxi-
cants, and when the shipment came
e. o. D. it would contain Jug for
each person on the list, besides per.
haps several jugs apiece for those who
had ordered. Every man to whom a
jug was sent would of course be notified
by the agent, and whenever he got
thirsty he would remember that Jug
was waiting for him at the express
office. Quite trade was driven, also,
by those to whom large supply was
sent, they turning over orders for the
stuff to their friends; and finally, every
uncalled-for package would be recon
signed by the wholesaler to some
regular patron, so that the entire ship.
ment eventually found its way to the
people who wanted it.
The recent rulings Of the express
company will, is said take the profit
out of the liquor agents job. Express
Agent Lineburg estimates that three.
fourths Of the jug trade will be cut
off. The new instructions are to the
following effect: All shipments of liquor
to prohibition states or local option
towns must be addressed to the bona
