gans of the body upon
the stomach for their
health and strength. But
if a weak" stomach
makes a weak man that
weakness must be dis

parts and organs which,
taken as a whole, make
up the physical man.
The relation of the
stomach to the physical
organs is like the rela-

We take the following extract
from an editorial in The Richmond
Times:
owe believe, as we said before,
that every good citizen who is fit
and qualified to vote ought to be
permitted to vote, but we recognize
the fact that IL is veIv hard to
make a Constitutional provision
to this end which will not admit
to suffrage some who are not quail
fled to vote and exclude others
who are. There has never been a
good law, perhaps, which did not
sometimes work hardships to in-
dividuals. The Times believes
that If the Constitution should
contain a clause providing that all
persons who have paid their poll
tax two years in advance, and being
otherwise qualified, shall be entitled
to vote, the shlftless negro vote
would be almost entirely elimin
ated and very few desirable voters
of other lace would be excluded.
Under such a provision the Con-
stitut;on would disfrancbise no
body. IL men failed to qualify
themselves, it would be through
their Owu act of neglect. Under
such a provision all good citizens
would be permitted to vote, aud
we believe that with few exception
ALL good citizens would vote,
whereas the shiftleSs and indIf.
feIent class would not take the
forethOught aud the trouble to
qualify themselves"
In addition TO the pOll,tax
provision named in the above ar
ticle, let the judges Of elections be
selected from each pOliticnl parry
according to fhe wishes of
the Chairmen of the parties, and
all aid whatever from the
voter. Let him go into the booth
md cast his ballot unalded, thus
very man will vote who Gao. It
will then be "every man for himself
nd the devil take the hindmost."
his is a simple and would be
measure, allowing every
nan to vote who eau aud shifting
Ill responsibility for inability to
Tote where 1T properly belongs to

What Next.

The President and his cabinet have
been earnestly consider re the Gu
ban 81 uation aui according 20 the
Washington disp Lcbes bave reached
very defu,te conclusion. Tie FIRST
anuouncr IN ent that the Cuban con-
vention bad accepted the Platt
amendment was received with graft
fication. but further information dis
closed the fact that the acceptance
was clogged with many conditions.
The platt amendment was amended
IN 60 many pa, ticUlars AID warped
by interpretation until it almost
ceases to lie un esogniZable.
The President finds it impossible to
accept the additions made by the
convention and therefore has decided
to notify the Cubans that the action
OF their convention cannot be accept
cd as a satisfactory basis for the set
Element of the Cuban problem. 1t is
iuSimated that a proclamation may
he issued in few days in the nature
of an ultimatum informing the Gu
bans that they must accept the Plat
amendment pure and simple as the
condition precedent to Independence.
Until this is done the American army
must remain in the island and the
government must be conducted "
American agents. So it seems tha5
no real progress las been made
towards definite settlement. The
next thing will be for che. Cuban con.
vention to reconsider and decide
whether it will comply with the terms
laid down by the President or will
insist on the concessions set forth in
the amendment set forth in the Plat
amendment. In that case everything
will be at a standstill until Congress
meets and takes up the 81 biect. The
President has no authority to 90 be-
You'd the instructions of Congress IS
formulated in The Plat amendment
and be is rot likely TO trke upon
himself the responsibility of making
concessions that may be repuidated
by Congress. 1t is possible that
when the members of the Cuban
convention come to understand the
situation fully they will accept the
Platt amendment as the best that
can be obtained and if SO everything
may move smoothly. The elections
can proceed, the new government can
be set up. The American troops can
be be withdrawn and Cuba can enter
upon new career as an independent
State. But If the conve itiou persists
in the stand already taken every
thing must remain as it is until Con.
gress meets and takes further action
on the bject.-Richmon Times.

Casting SfUrs.
EDITOR News /:


Dear Sir:-In your editorial last
week you advocated the disfrauchise-
ment ofmen-black and white-iust
because they are ignorant. You know
that some of the best citizens and
Democrats in the State are unable to
read and write, and some of the
worst-black and white, can read
and write, of the two classes the lat.
ter had better be kept from the polls.
You ouget not to cast slurs upon the
Ignorant, who may not have had ed
ucational advantages.
FAIR PLAY.
We expected to hear dissent from
the views expressed in the article
referred to by our friend. We wish
to repeat what we stated in the ar
ticle, that no disrespect was intended
for that unfortunate class among us.
who are unable to read andlwrite but
1t is true, nevertheless, that there is
scarcely single valid excuse for any
one not being able to reads Unless
q man has wooden head he can
learn to read, certainly within thirty
days, II not in shorter time, if he
wishes to, and has even an Ordinary
amount of intelligence, Not even
blindness is a valid excuse these days.
and In fact we can conjure up no ex.
cuse for voter not being able to
read, at least sufficiently well enough |
to read ballot. A man who cannot |
read sufficiently well to protect him
self from corrupt politicians ought
not to be allowed to vote--ought not
to want to vote. OF course now and
then there is an exception. The same
principle applied would prohibit any ;
restriction, whatever, OF the suffrage.
'Some of the best citizens aud Dem.
ocrats" are very poor, and would
therefore, be excluded by property
qualification, while many "of the
worst" are rich, and would not be
excluded.
Will our friend inform the readers
OF this paper why a man, without any
education or property should vote?
The laws of the land guarantee him
all 1.-THE rights and privileges he
needs. Taxation without reprcsen
tation," is the usual cry, but what
have this class to represent" We
tax the property of women and boys
under twenty-one years old, and we
hear no protest, but when it is urged
that a man who hasn't a dollars
worth OF property ought not to vote
the same as a millionaire, there is a
cry of protest, and we hear talk of
rights of citizenship" "birthrights"
&.. &c. We desire to say emphatic;
ally that we are in favor of, and shall, |
IN our humble way, advocate any
plan which shall wrest the ballat box
and thereby the governmental ad
ministration of our laws, from the
hands of the mob and rabble, who
prostitute their high privileges 10
revolutionary, low and selfish ends
We hope the constitutional conven-
ton will WELD the ak Of disfranchise
ment with lusty blow, and let the
chips fall where they may.
