Putting the stump speakers and dema

Putting the stump speakers and dema'
gogues aside, there are sound and sensible
reasons against an educational Qualifica'
ton in the South. The Northern States
offer every child opportunity to read and
write, but we do not. In those States
children who fail to gather that much of
education must do it wilfully. They must
practically run away from the public
school teacher, who is everywhere conve'
nient. In every Southern State there are
thousands of white people who can not
possibly learn to read because they have
no opportunity.
The educational test is not a good one
in any case. The educated fool is an OBJ
ject familiar to all of us. AS matter OF
practical fact hundreds of men who can
not read and write know more of the prac
teal affairs Of life and the actual condi'
tons of politics and the pending issues
than the college professors and are safer
voters. There are men whose practical
sense, overcoming their unhappy educa-
tional deficiencies, make them good citi'
zens, capable managers of affairs and
worthy heads of families who have to
make their cross marks and can not read q
line. There are other men who shoulder
ed their guns and risked life and limb for
States in which they had no stake and to
which, Heaven knows, they owed no
debt of gratitude. 1t is unjust to put these
in the position of serfs and to deprive
them of voice in the control of the govern
ment which has such potent influence for
good or evil results to them.
The truth is in this country the only fair
and proper test for voting is manhood.
We are so mixed, have go many rich idiots
and bright poor men, and poor idiots and
bright rich men, educated imbeclles and
sensible ignoramuses and ignorant igno-
ramuses and sensible men Of culture that
there is no safe and just line among Glars
es. In the South where negroes are many
we should draw the color line to the limit
the law will allow-and the law will allow
a good deal because the Acknowledgement
of the negroes in mass is universally
known now to be mistake and the Su'
preme Court knows it as we'll as anybody
else. That IS because go long as the negro
is strong as a voter the race issue will exist
to the detriment of the States and the
country.
If the Maryland Legislature had pos
sessed the nerve to draw a straight race
line-to make law that no man paying
taxes on less than $1,000 of real property
should vote unless he is descendant Of a
voter of 1850 or of naturalized citizen or
of some one who has borne arms for the
United States or some State, or is natur'
allied voter-it would have done much
better for the State and country than it
has done. The educational test Will not
last and will do much more harm than
good.

floor he wanted instead of waiting fol

way he almost ran into an acquaint

approaches 300 pounds. The acquaint

A Model Town.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
"The Ell Dorado (Kan) Republican"
rejoices that it has been able TO live it's
DAYS in town that ''is never coarse, vul-
gar or slomicky." II admits that in the
early days it was quite the fashion to snuff
the candle at bedtime with revolver. and
that it was not considered impolite ''for
one to ride into saloon and take one
drinks on horseback" but it insists that
the revolvers were always silver mounted,
and that the horseback feat was almost a
necessity, because people didn't have the
time to dismount and hitch. "The town, "
it adds, "has always played poker, but it
does it on carpeted floors, with genuine
ivory chips, while the high art pictures on
the walls are sufficiently draped so as not
to offend the eye of the stranger. The
town was never four fiusher. Another
commendable characteristic of the place is
that it ID clean. 1t never neglecta to reg
ularly wash and scrub itself and change its
lingerie or it's linen. While it seeks first
the kingdom of heaven, it gets itself ready
to be successful seeker by vigorous ap.
pllcation of soap and water. Drummers
say the town buys more high priced soap
than any other place in the State"

There was some hysterical but vain ar
gument on the part Of the delegate from
California.
She was told that she would have to pay
for the oysters. but che needn't eat then,
unless she chose to do 80.
Just then Senator Spooner came in and
sat down at the next table. The Wom'
ans Christian Temperance Union delegate
almost in tears, leaned over and asked
imploringly: "Oh, sir, do you like fried
oysters ?"
Senator Spooner started. III have
eaten them, madam" he replied with
dignity.
"Then please buy these; please, please
do"
"But," said the Senator, laughing, 81
never eat them now, for find that they
promote indigestion"
The woman exhibited her white ribbon
badge and implored again: "Oh, you
haven't eaten anything yet; please buy
these"
swell, I'll buy them, but l assure you
madam, 10 not contract to eat them"
And he paiG the check, while the del
egate from California almost ran out Of
the restaurant.

have not given as much attention to the
planting and growing of fruit trees as they
should have done. Those who have paid
any attention to it have found 1t exceed
ingly profitable. In the past We have, at
different times, urged our readers to go to
planting orchards and giving them proper
attention. The demand for fruits is con-
stantly increasing, and there are many
near markets furnishedl by the develop
ment of the coal fields that will give fruit
growers in Tazewell certain and close
markets for whatever they may produce.
We think the Farmers Institute will
draw a large crowd on next Saturday. The
we'll known ability of the lecturers and
the important questions they will discuss
ought to fill the courthouse with repre-
sentative men and women.

A BOLD BIT OF SURGERY.
Resuscitatlon Effected by Squeezing a
Mans Heart.

A remarkable story is told in Danish
medical periodical relative to the treat
ment of a patient who had been asphyxl-
ated from the administration of chloro-
form. The operating surgeon was GER
tain DIR. Mag, but the method which he
employed had previously been suggested
by DIR. Prus, of Lemberg.
A laborer, twenty.seven years old, who
had suffered from sciatica, was to be cper-
ated upon to relieve that trouble. Chloro-
form was given and the operation begun.
The patient struggled, however, and when
the process of an@sthesa was carried
further he stopped breathing. Several
expedients were resorted to in order to
restore respiration, but in vain. And
there was no longer any pulse.
In this emergency DR.. Mag opened the
chest, detached portions Of the third and
fourth ribs two and a half inches long,
and turned the back with the flap of flesh.
Through the opening thus made, he thrust
his hand. The heart was firmly grasped
and compressed automatically. After a
few squeezes that organ began to beat
naturally. 1t was necessary to employ
compression again at times, and also to
initiate the lungs artifcially. But by these
means the patient was kept alive for eleven
hours and half, and DR.. Mag is inclined
to believe that the man would have re-
covered were it not that one of the pleura
was accidentally punctured.

Indian bureaus are very exPsIsi7t;
at least, Uncle Sam finds it so, judging
from the recent report that comes from
his cabinet. The wards of the nation
are apparently not neglected, and,
though their tribe is growing less, the
expenditure of money for their benefit
does not decrease rapidly. In ten
years the little Indians have decreased
as they do in the Mother Goose verse,
and have dropped from $4,000 to 1880,
while the annual school appropriation
has increas ed from 81, roc, 900 to $3,OOC,-
900. Out Of an Indian population of
little less than 25O,O about 100, OOC are
self-supporting, and under their own
independent individual management
spend less annually on their support
than the Indian bureau spends
on their brothers who are yet wards of
the nation, for these government sup
ported ones cost about 5000 each year,
or more than 50, 900 in all per an
mum.

Mr.. GoRMAN has succeeded in having
the Legislature of Maryland make law
which is in effect an educational qualifica
ton for voting. BY its provisions it is
calculated that 5000 white men and
80 900 colored men will be DISTINGUISHED.
The purpose of the law is to restore the
Democratic party or rather Gormanism, to
power in Maryland. Already great
many Democrats are predicting that it
will prove boomerang, and that the cal
culations of Mr.. German will 60 to pieces.
There are many Democrats IN the State
who are violently opposed to such policy
and who despise Gormanism. The public
will watch with interest the outcome of
the revolutionary policy which has been
introduced in Maryland.

THE Virginia Democracy is now very
much agitated over two questions. The
first is the election of delegates to the
constitutional convention and what it
shall do. The second is who shall be the
candidate for Governor. A warm fight is
now on between Swanson and Montague
for the party nomination. Swanson is
backed by the machine, but Montague
seems to be stronger With the people.
In his paper, the Commoner, Mr.. Bryan
last week scored Mr.. Cleveland very Sc
verely. He charges him with treachery
by desertion of the party organization
and assisting the Republicans in securing
victory. From present indications there
will never be truce between Clevelandism
and Organism. The Democratic party
will continue to be disorganized by con-
tending factions, and victory in 1904 will
be impossible for that party.
