Negro Suffrage in the South.

On behalf of the dlsfranchise-
ment Of the negro because of his
color nothing can be fairly urged
either in morals or in Ia II Much
can be said in favor of an educa-
uonal tesr, but it should apply
to whites as we'll as blacks. The
vote Of an ignorant white man is
quite as injurious as that of a
black one equally ignorant, and
generally it is less excusable, for,
as rule, White men have 4. d the
better educational opportun t.es.-
Washinston daily Times. CDem.) }
The above editorial paragraph
expresses the settled principle and
theory Of our government. Every
body knows that the RESTRICT n
OF the suffrage in the Southern
States is to get rid of the colored
people as voters because they have
chosen to vote The Republican
ticket and because Of the old race
prejudice born Of slavery. Were 1t
not for the obstacle placed in the
way by the XIV Amendment, the
remOdeling Of the Southern State
constitution would be an easy
task by limiting the suffrage to
white people only. It is singular
that these States which now require
the highest standards for citizen
ship and the right to vote are
the way States whose past history,
law and usages are responsible for
the poverty:and iIlit. racy so prev
alent in the South, where the edu-
cation Of the masses Of both white
and black have always been dis
c0uraged.

the same quaint and daring mixtures
of very bright flowers that are seen
on Minton and Old-fashioned simple
Worcestershire china. Most of these
English and French calieoes are
woven with borders that are happily
utilized in the makeup of the coun-
try costume, for it is hardly the best
taste to use lace and embroidery in
the garnishment of a simple print
dress.
From our own looms they are turn
ing out the loveliest cotton goods
lowered over in bold brocade and
eretonne designs. Furthermore, these
American calicOes are treated with a
rich surface finish that gives them
the gloss of silk, but does not injure
the simplicity and softness of the
fabric.
No woman need feel any hesitancy
about wearing these delightful COT
ton goods. They are comparatively
cheap. to be sure, but their finish and
colorings have given them a prestige
that is being felt even in circles
where cost is considered of minor
Importance, and many charming
gowns made Of them will be seen at
both seashore and country resort
during the summer.

Fashionable BlOuseS and
Gowns Are Made OF White

VERY variety of fabric is
II utilized to-day. Not only for the
blouse, but for jacket and skirts.
If not for the garment itself, then
for a trimming. The favorite blouse
of the season is white, and the word
"shirt," in connection with them, IS
passe, even for the most ordinary
waist, as the blouse is artistic and
really of very extravagant construc-
tion. made either OF white Organdie
or white mOusseline de sole. Others
are of dotted Swiss, French muslin
and the soft summer silks. These are
relieved with dainty narrow black or
white velvet or satin ribbons. Then
there is a new China silk, with per
pendicular lines of open work like
drawn work, with a dainty inter
woven design.
The vogue for white, especially in
blouses, has passed into the rage"
stage, and everything worth noticing
in this line seems to be in this color.
One of these white blouses is a very
chic affair of white pousseline, made
with clusters of three tucks and a
white gold and blue Persian trimming
between. The Persian trimming is
to the waist line, with the tucks to
form a yoke. A tucked collar, with
the Persian trimming at the top. The
new bishop sleeves, with tucked cuff
edged with the trimming. A pointed
girdle of white taffeta, with an enor-
nous ieweled buckle in the back.
Another of these dainty white
blouses is of organdIe. OF this the
front is entirely tucked. with narrow
straps crossing each other, finished
with gold buttons across the front to
form a yoke. Below tnis the OTgaEdie
is in clusters of tucks and slightly
bloused. \ new PAiglon stock collar
finishes the throat. The sleeves are
tucked at the top in clusters, with a
deep bell shape at the wrist.
Not only are practically all Of the
handsomer blouses of white, but
The Washington bee., 1901-06-29

many of the more elaborate gowns
are of the same color. One of these
white gowns Is of ecru batiste made
with an apron overskirt of the ba-
tiste in deep points and handsomely
embroidered half way up. The bodice
has folded girdle of ecru silk to just
below the bust, with the batiste fit
ting snugly over the shoulders and
across the bust. Deep points over the
girdle, which are covered entirely
with embroidery. The sleeves are of
the batiste to just below the elbow,
with full putting of ecru silk il a mar
row cuff of batiste.

Of course the rage is for silk skirts,
but a number of these dainty batiste
garments viii be worn.
There is a novelty strapping being
shown in white applique gowns. 1t is
Of white suede cloth, and, while it is
rather pretty, ii serves no practical
use.

way except in price.

CONSTITUTION PROTECTS NE0poEs.
Alabama Sheriffs Who fail to prevent Lynch

ing Liable 10 Impeachment
Montgomery, Ala, June 22.-The
constitutional convention to-day COM
pleted the article on executive othce.
The most interest during the day at
taChed to the section providing that
when a sheriff allows prisoner TO be
taken from his custody and lyncheor
the governor shall Immediately lnsu-
tIte impeachment proceedings against
the officer, and he shall be suspended
from office during his trial.
The plea was made that as the con
ventiOn was about to take from the
negro the right of voting, the State
should show 10 the world that he
would be protected by the law. The
section passed.
This is protection for the negroes
with a vengeance. What penalty
is imposed upon the county in
which the lYnChing is perpetrated?
The officer is cited by the governor
to appear and answer the charges of
impeachment. Will it not b.
shown always that the officers of
the law were over powered and
could not resist the mob? If the
democratic unconstitutional con-
venion of Alabama wanted to be
fair and just why not insert
clause to the effect, holding the
country responsible and make it
pay from four to five thousand dol
ars if any lynehing is perpetrated
in SAID County. The democrats Of
Alabama could readily 90 to the
world as being fair and just to
wards the negro. Bet as it is, it is
all oosh and subterfuge. 1t means

Some Little Novelties That
Are Shown in the Shops

DURING recent shopping expe-
