5 SENATOR DAEIRL's OPINION.

VIZ have never believed that there
zvsas the remotest danger OF the separs-
cSion Of the school funds upon the basis
caf the amount of taxes paid by white
and eolored persons.
1t would be fatal blow at the pub
kEis free school system itself, for il q
b -shild's education is to be Pauged by
S3he taxes its parents pay, then the
-shildren OF the white laboring man
would be great sufferers.
Senator JOHN w. DANIELS ringing
uttersuces in dealing with this ques-
tion will attract universal attention.
. He ia quoted rs follows:
"I beg leave TO say that think il
wou be unfortunate for any auch
provision to be put in our State Const;-
sutton. Apart from all questions of
constitutional and legal import, IL
seems to me that the proposition is

Elk GOV. o'FERRALL's DEOLARA-
TIoNS.

1T requires 9 true statesman to face
the clamor of the politicians al d SEEM
ingly in the face of sure defeat enunci-
ate great principles and at the same
time appeal to the law.
This 10 what Hon. CHARLES T. OFFER
RAIL did in series of articles contrib
uted recently to the columns of the
Richmond, Va, DAILY TINES. But it
is to the one under date OF March %
1901, that we desire to call attention.
Ex-Gcv O'FERRALL said:
editor OF The Times:
''Sir,-Under the organic law of this
Union, the Negro is q citizen, with all
the duties and responsibilities of any
other citizen. He must pay taxes up-
on his property, he must fight when
ever his country or State demands it.
and he must perform all public SER
vices just ss any other citizen. Il ia
contrary to the genius of republican
institutions to impose citizenship bur-
dens without ciLiEenship privileges.
he Federal Government has declared
the Negro to be worthy of citizenship,
and Virginia by her solemn act has
ratified that declaration"
Gould any language be stronger or
meet the issue more squarely?
Aud again:
"The Federal Cons !itution has not
clothed the Negro or the white man
with the right of suffrage it has left
the question OF suffrage to each State
to be determined according to it's own
will, only prohibiting discrimination
on account of race, color or previous
condition Of servitude. But as q card
insl doctrine of republican govern
ment, Insist that the power to select
rulers and participate in the affairs CT
the Governments should be conferred
upon all citizens who required to per-
form all the duties and bear all the
burdens OF citizenship, regardless of
their nativity, blood. race or color, un.
less by their bad conduct they have
rendered themselves dangerous to So
ciety and brought themselves under
the ban of our criminal laws, or prov.
ed themselves worthless by contribut
ing nothing to the support of the Gov
eminent"
He "shied HIS castor" in the ring and
none have appeared bold enough to
cross swords with him.
And again:
"When once the great Fundamental
doctrine of equal rights to all citizens,
special privileges to none, is treDched
upon. who can tell to what extent is
may finally go; where il may finally
end2 Take away the ballot from the

sid er it expedient. Revolutions new

IT am opposed upon principle TO dis
| frAnchising any class OF citizens be-
cause OF their nativity, race Or color"
Ex-Gov O'FERRALL is . Democrat to
the core. He at one time was the rec
oRnized party leader 10 Congress and
this adds weight to all that he chooses
to say upon this subject.
1t is gratifying indeed to see . Vir'

MADISON, Wis, May 13-Gov. La Fol-
lette today vetoed the Frost bill taxing
mortgages. The governor declares the
act to be unconstitutional on the ground
that it conflicts with the requirement
that the rules of taxation shall be uni

The closing day of the session as far
as business is concerned was the most
sensational Of the session and was
marked with bitter debate between the
stalwart members of the senate and the
friends of the primary election bill,
Debate arose over a protest to Gov.
La FOllettes message as to the method
of fighting the Stevens bill. During the
debate, Senator Miller, in speaking
against the resolution and on the
primary election issue, said:
1.-THE issue will go to another field now,
and this time it will be the people and
not the subsidized senate
Later Mr. Miller apologized for this
remark.

MURDERED ALL THREE.
MAINE FAMILY WIPED OUT AND
THEIR HOME RURNED.

SHIRLEY, Me-, May 1S.-The murders
which have startled the rural districts
of Maine the past few months are al
most overshadowed by tragedy in this
town yesterday in which family of
three was put out of existence and fire
used to hide the crime. The victims
are:
J. Wesley Allen, selectman, his wife
and fourteen-year-old daughter. The
charred bodies were found in the embers
of their house which stood on the stage
road leading from Monson to Moosehead
lake. On every hand were evidences that
murder and even worse had been done.
The only clue to the identity Of the muir
derers is furnished by man named
Johnson, who reported today that he
was held up this morning on the read
by four men, all being intoxicated, one
of whom answers the description of the
highwayman who held up the Willmant O
stage last week. The greatest excite
ment prevails In the community, and
arms and ammunition have been pro-
cured by farmers who fear a visit from
the murderers.
Charles Tibbetts while driving the
stage road with his children to the VIII
lage school saw the ruins of the Allen
farmhouse and searched the embeTs,
finding the bones of body. He gathered
the nearest neighbors and the ruins We're
searched and the bones of three per-
sons were found. AT one place near the
barn cellar there was blood and locks

establishment of a nine-hour day May
~, President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, called conference
of the organizations interested in the
machinery. trades of the country. the
conference occurring at the HEADQUARTERS
of the American Federation of Labor in
this city today. Mr. James O'ConneH.
of the International Association Of Ma
chinists; Mr.. John MulhoIand, Of the
International Association of Allied Metal
Mechanics; Mr.. l. R. Thomas. of the
Patternmakers' League of North Amer
lea, and Mr.. E. ]. Lynch. of the Metal
Polishers, Buffers, Platers and Brass
Workers Union of North America, met
and discussed the various phases of the
matter and plans have been deternlin d

taken on or before May 20
The purpose of the movement is to es-
tablish the nine-hour day for all en-
gagged in the machinery industry The
conference will be continued tomorrow
morning, when general policy will lie
decided upon.
President O'Connell said the outlook
was very encouraging for a successful
strike in many localities throughout the
! country. A number of the firms not
now complying with the arrangement en-
tered into between the machln!sts and
the association of employers as to a nine
hour day signed today, and Mr. O'Con-
nell predicts that large number of these
will have signed by May 20. He says the
strike will affect at least 100000 men di-
rectly and over that number Of allied
mechanics indirectly.
STATEMENT BY VII SON.
NEW YORK, May 13.-secretary Will
son, of District Is of the National Asso-
citation of Machinists, was interviewed
today concerning the order sent out Sat
u<day by National President James
O'Connell at Washington, calling
strike of all machinists throughout the
country on Monday next, unless all en-
ployers signed the agreement for a work
ing day of nine hours and an increase Of
1214 per cent in wages.
There is little doubt in my mind"
Secretary Wilson said, that the strike
will actually take place, but the en-
ployers have until Saturday next to come
to our terms. That is the last working
day before the late set for the order to
go into effect.
1.-THE machinists alone who will be
called out will number 10000 but all
trades depending upon the machinists for
their tools will be brought to stand
still.
IAN erroneous opinion prevails that this
strike VIII mean the practical stoppage
of all work on public buildings and great
contracts like the rapid transit sub
way. 1t will do nothing of the kind
I'm this section about 10000 of our men
will be affected, the district of course
taking in Manhattan Brooklyn and Jer-
sey City. That, however, does not in
clude half the number Of machinists en-
ployed here"
