touch with the Eastern loan companies, or even if they possessed the knowledge which would allow them to get in touch with the proper parties for cheap money. the loan company would not take small loans and are particular about se- curity.
 This forces the poorer class of borrow CTS to seek help from our own citizens, and our laws work a hardship, not only on these poor men, but upon the citi- zens of this State who would be glad to loan money on the same net return as our eastern competitors, and being on the ground, they could take security and risk that the foreign competitor would not have, yet. our law to great extent. does away with money loaning on mort gages, by our citizens, as mortgages, as well as the property on which they ex- ist, are both taxed to the full limit; pro- vided, of course, the mortgage is held by one of our own citizens. If 1t is for eign company, it is exempt. This fact alone will make it impossible for the poorer class of borrowers to ever hope to receive cheap money. I am certain that with proper encouragement, we would be surprised at the amount of money that would and could be loaned by our citi- zens at an exceedingly cheap rate on mortgages, both in small and large amounts. in competition against eastern capitalists, should our State encourage money loaning by refusing to tax mort gages.
 Tt Is also my firm opinion that we should make the legal rate of interest in our State 6 per cent, not allowing any man to contract for higher rate If the law fails to protect our poorer citizen, I pity him. You may feel satisfied of one thing, in making laws. while they should be just and fair to every citizen, yet the money interest occupies a position that assures self-protection, should laws be enacted that are not fair. Of course appreciate the great undertaking of the constitutional convention. and realize that you gentlemen will be flooded with ordinances, yet feel\certain that your intelligent body will go into the merits of each bill and adjust it in such a way as to bring forth the very best results from each bill, and present to our State laws that will work, as a whole, for the good of the great number

Question of Rents.

While the rental year for mercantile houses does not begin until October 1, contracts are usually signed in June or July, and I understand that agents are talking of advancing the price on certain stores that will not stand an increase" said a First avenue merchant yester- day.
 T am paying too much for my store now. Landlords are making mistake in exacting these high rents. Last fall and the fall before many merchants moved from their old stands rather than pay ex- orbitant rents. No one objects to paying reasonable rents. but the money that some landlords want for their ramshackle houses Is out of the question. Higlsrents always injure city"

Banquet Wit.

Many bright speeches were made at the Howard College Alumni banquet at the Morris last night. The Rev. Dr. Risener was one of the best takers. Among his anecdotes was this: A minister of A church believing in infant baptism an- nounced from his pulpit that he desired all who had unbaptised infants to bring them the following Sunday and have them baptised The choir master who had hymnbooks for sale, was a little deaf and did not catch the preachers remarks. He thought the members were requested to bring hymnals, so he jumped up and shouted. "and those who haven't got lem can buy them from me at 75 cents apiece''

FILIPINO woMEN's HUGE CIGARS

From Science Siftings.
 The women of the Philippines have pro- gressed far beyond the dainty cigarette; indeed their cigars. which measure some sixteen inches, are not intended for an evenings pleasure or an after-dinner smoke. In the Philippines they prefer smoking on the installment plan. for these huge rolls of tobacco. which measure five inches in circumference. constitute one weeks pleasure for the ladies of Luzon. To offset the difficulty presented by weight the mouth end is filled with soft fibre of tobacco, so that when the cigar is grasped firmly between the teeth so great on indentation is made that for the remainder of the six days smoke the huge cigar fits naturally to the mouth and can be held without any conscious effort.

A CONSTITUTIONAL RESTRICTION

From the Pittsburg Dispatch CRep.).
 The proposition of Senator Morgan of Alabama that the right to vote in that State shall be passed upon by boards con- stftuted for that purpose Is simply a bold attempt at evasion of the fifteenth amend ment of the United States Constitution. office shall be confined to whites Is in ac- cordance with that amendment.
 The idea that the latter proposition Is a new discovery of loophole in the fif- teenth amendment comes from forgetful- ness of the circumstances under which the amendment was framed. As first pre- scented, the amendment read: "The right to vote or to hold office" should not be de- nied on account of race or color" This was warmly debated, the radical element contending for the radical adoption of that form But the words ''to hold office were stricken out.
 The fact shows how unfounded Is the charge that the fifteenth amendment is in- tended to put the South under negro rule. It carefully left the Southern States at liberty to exclude the negroes from office until such time as their advance should naturally commend them to that further privilege. But the southern whites re- fused to recognize the purpose of the amendment, with the results that are part of the history of that section.
 Apart from the constitutionality of the provision. it would be hard to imagine a more striking exhibition of fatuous preju- dice than the exclusion of a man like Booker T. Washington from the right to vote or to hold office on account of tba color of his skin.

From the Baltimore American.

Patrick Casey, got into our pressroom Tuesday night. after our en- tire edition had been printed, and ate the papers all up.

Listen to the first message of the prophet" he de- manded. You must pay your tithes and offerings unto the house of God. Accursed be ye If ye would seek to rob His house of its fullness by not obeying this, His will, sent through Elijah." Selah!

DOMESTIC PHILOSOPHY.
From the Atchison Globe.

From the Atchison Globe.
 The most helpless looking thing on earth Is big strong man holding a little baby in dry goods store while his wife shrops.
 When a certain Atchison man has the nightmare he dreams that he is a girl clerk at a dry gods store on the day of special sale.
 If your wife has short cake and cream in the house at the same time. and let tuce and vinegar, that settles 1t; she is a good manager
 It is one sign of the decline of familys prosperity when the family carriage loses that rich rumble and begins to sound like milk wagon.

ties on articles coming from any Territory of the United States.
 With respect to our new possessions, the decision is an unfair one, because 1t denies to them equal trade privileges with other portions of the United States. whose sovereignty has been established over them, and the purpose of the legis- lation in providing for equal trade priv ileges was that no section subject to United States sovereignty shall ever be- come the victim of discrimination. The principle is in line with the very founda- contemplated that all the people of the United States should have equal privil- eges, should be exempt from discrim- nations, and should enjoy the immun- fties which the constitution makers con- ceived to be essential to the perpetuity of free institutions"
 After an extended summary of Justice Browns reasoning. MT. Bryan continues:
 Throughout the majority opinion, de- livered by Justice Brown, runs the the ory' that the American Congress may do anything not forbidden in the constitu- tion. This Is one of the most repugnant features of this opinion. Justice Brown seems to have searched the constitution for prohibitions. rather than for that grant of power which the American peo- pie have always conceived to be the true office of that instrument"
 MT Bryan concludes as follows:
 ITO what a glorious field for inspection this justice of the Supreme Court has invited the American people! Under this opinion we are about to embark on Great Britains colonial policy, and to reassure ourselves, toN quiet our con- science. we have but to look at the his- tory of Great Britain toward it's out lying possessions since the American rev. olution.
 An inspiring spectacle, indeed!
 We may look at South Africa, where Great Britain's unrestrained possession of power has destroyed two promising Republics, and has drenched the soil with the blood of patriots; we may look at India. whose people have been dying by starvation for years; at India, where. on several occasions, the bounty and gen. erosity of the American people have been necessary in order to save human be- ings, living under the sovereignty of Great Britain, from death by starvation"
