Cuban and Philippine Bonds.

From the Utica Herald Dispatch.
The action of the Madrid authorities look
ing to the conversion of the Cuban and
Philippine bonds into another and more
regular form Of security is regarded at
Washington marking the final collapse OF
the long-cherished purpose on the part of
the bondholders to have these securities
recognized and assumed by the Cuban gov
United States government, or perhaps by
the Philippine insular government, In the
case of the eastern archipelago.
At Paris desperate efforts were made by
the Spanish peace commissioners, first, to
have the United States assume liability for
the bonds, and, failing in that, to have
the subject left in such shape as to permit
another attempt in that direction later on.
The United States commissioners positively
refused to admit into the treaty of peace
any language tending to recognize any OBJ
legation on Americas s part for these bonds.
The protocols, however, have been regarded
by the bondholders affording hope for a
more favorable outcome at a later date.
The securities in question We're actually
issued by the Spanish government, and in
the case of Cuba the funds realized from
their Sale-or that part of them not mis-
appropriated by officials having the hand
ling of them-were used to try to suppress
the rebellion in the island. French, Ger
man and English capitalists hold a large
amount of the bonds. and naturally their
governments felt an interest in having liza
bility assumed by the United States as
even had the Spanish-American war not
have taken place and the Instructions in
Cuba and the Philippines been suppressed,
there was danger of Spain defaulting on the
interest at any time, and eventually per-
hapS on the principal.

SUFFRAGE IN VIRGINIA.
Task of the COnstitatiOn Makers In
the Old Dominion,

the Old Dominion.
From the Baltimore American
Nearly all the southern states which have
within recent years revised their constitu-
tions or adopted new ones started out with
an avowedly conservative attitude on the
suffrage question, only to succumb in the
end to the demands of the most radical
anti-negro partisans. Maryland was the
first to reverse this course. The law which
resulted from the extra session of last
spring fell far short of what was at first
contemplated, not that the trainers loved
the negro more but that they cared less to
antagonize the sentiment of a large por-
ton OF the whites themselves The law, as
1t stands, carries on it's face the evidence
OF this concession to public sentiment and
to constitutional restraints.
With this experience of Maryland still fresh
in mind, and mbering the threats of re-
prlsal made In Congress last winter against
the states which by grandfather clauses or
other ingenious devices have deprived the
negro of equal rights before the law the
constitution makers Of Virginia began their
delicate task with the declared object of
dealing fairly by the negro. This was the
more difficult since, Notwithstanding the
plea or other necessary constitutional re-
forms, the real impetus behind the conyen-
tion movement was the dsfranchisement
OF the negro-to do according to law that
which has long been done in violation of
the law. The more 1t is studied the more
difficult becomes the problem of how to
deal fairly by the negro and yet deny him
the suffrage.
The fact is there is no fair way Of cur
failing his franchise without curtailing that
Of the white man on the same terms. The
problem will be a difficult one to solve
THE negro must be disfranchised," is the
cry, but to do so without affecting the
white man Is not possible under the fed
eral Constitution and not polite at best
Already the note of discord has been
sounded by the socialist labor party. which
nominated a state ticket and adopted a
strong platform a day or two ago, which
declares for universal suffrage and de-
nounces as crime projected against the
working class the movement now on foot
to stiffen the qualifications for the fran
chse. The constitution makers of the old
dominion will doubtless find before long
that place between Scylla and Charybdis
is not the pleasantest one to occupy.

Death From DriSht's Dfscaae.


Brights disease from which Mr.. Pierre
Lorillard died. is such a common affection
and in it's chronic form is SO uniformly
fatal that when once the diagnosis is made
there is little ultimate hope for the patient.
The ailment starts an acute or chronic
inflammation Of the substance of the kid
neys and so seriously interferes with the
excretion Of these organs that the victim
Is poisoned by the accumulation of excre-
mentitious materials in the blood. These nat
ural filters Of the body become clogged and
congestive, and the irritative substances
which should be eliminated exercise their
baneful effect on heart, brain and lungs.
giving rise In turn to varied distressing
symptoms associated with disordered circu
lation, stupor and difficult breathing.
Dropsy Of chest, of abdominal cavity and
lower limbs also makes its appearances
toward the end, adding to the extreme suf-
fering of the patient.
Death Is usually caused by the effusion
upon the brain surface of the surcharged
watery elements Of the blood, inducing the
fatal coma. Commonly associated with this
condition is dropsy of the lung substance.
which explains the difficult respiration SO
often noticed in such cases.

Bridge whist is a comparatively rev en-

of such intricacy that many devotees of

delicate descriptions interviewer into the

Dolomite region, and rare opportunities are

Formerly it was the custom to place such
