Reulstrafion Next Year.

All white men will be registered. Fully 90 per cent of the whites will be registered as old soldiers or as the descendants of old soldiers; eight per cent more will be property holders who will be permitted to register be- cause no board of registration will be so foolish as to hinder them a year in voting, leaving perhaps two or three per cent more to register under the haracter-intelligence clause. Practi- cally all can be registered without any appeal to the goodcharacter clause, which was unduly exaggerated during the campaign. It was not drawn to meet many cases, and it will not.
 Comparatively few negroes can be registered because they are neither old soldiers nor the descendants of old soldiers, and few of them under stand the duties and obligations of citizenship under a republican form of government They did not inherit such knowledge and they have not since acquired it. The opponents of ratification should readjust their spec- tacles and read in the clear post-elec- tion light the suffrage provisions of the New constitution.
 In this connection we reproduce thoughtful advice offered by the Mont gomery Journal: "The gravest of grave duties now devolves upon the Gov ernor to see to the appointment of only fit men as registrars. Soon there will be petitions going around in every county in the State asking the Gov ernor to appoint this and that man as registrar. The people should be careful whose petitions they sign, and the Governor should be even more careful in the selection of his ap- pointees. The successful enforcement of the new constitution, and the sue cess of the party and the administra- tion in power, all depend largely upon the registrars. The registrar should be man of the highest character and intelligence, of tact and discretion, and man who knows and understands the people and the conditions. Among all the responsibilities that the adop- tion of the new constitution brings with it, none are so grave as the se- lection and appointment of registrars, especially in the Black Belt; and after they are appointed they should meet together, consult as to their duties and responsibilities, and faithfully and honestly carry out the will and inten- tion of the framers of the new law"

Unity Needed Now.

The New constitution has been rati- led, but in order to obtain from it
 nd through it political regeneration, there must live up behind it all good now. All efforts that tend to distract and divide the white people of the State are hurtful indeed, for the stronger public sentiment in it's sup port becomes the more efficient it will be. It is in itself a political revolu- tion of the most radical sort. especially

steal, and then we'll all be honest" Un- fortunately for the South, a habit of thirty years cannot be changed in day. Respect for the ballot box, once destroy ed, is not easily or speedily re-created. From the Springfield Republican.
 The new Alabama constitution, which was adopted by the people on Monday. contains other changes than the one concerning the franchise. By it the power to contract public debt is strictly limited; provision is made for the public examination of State banks and bankers; local legislation is practically abolished; the office of lieutenant governor is created; sessions of the Legislature are held only once in four years, and State elections are held at the same intervals; mem bers of the Legislature and judicial officers are prohibited from using free passes or tickets at a reduced rate of fare; and finally, provision is made for larger and more certain appropriations for public education Were 1t not for the special discrimination against citizens of dark skins in voting, this constitution
 
 number of commendable features.
 From the N. Y. Commerclal-Advertiser.
 Recent charges of fraud perpetrated in the recent election on the acceptance of the new constitution come from Alabama, and the information sent out concerning the vote there seems to substantiate these claims In view of the expected op- position to the instrument, 1t seems al- most incredible that the majority in its favor could reach 30.000 by any legitimate means. There are several features of the constitution that were calculated to arouse objection. Not only is the suf- frage clause of such a character as to make 1t possible to exclude from the bal lot many poor whites. should 1t ever be desired to get rid of their votes, but the penalties imposed upon sheriffs who should permit prisoners to be taken from them by lynchers were not favorably re- garded. There were also certain ob- noxious provisions on local legislation. For all these reasons, a fairly heavy white vote against the constitution was to be expected-to say nothing of the negroes, who made up from 40 to 50 per cent of the qualified voters of the State under the old constitution. These facts render it easy to give credence to the statement that a decided majority of those who cast ballots at the election voted against the constitution. The barefacal character of the frauds perpetrated a1- pears from the charge that in Montgon- cry the majority in favor of ratification was twice the whole actual turnout of voters. and that in other counties the disproportion was even greater. The new constitution was avoweoiy framed largely to avoid the necessity of manipulating elections Yet In order to secure it's adoption. more manipulation has been necessary than at any election for years.

HIGHEST OF WATERFALLS.

From the Land of Sunshine.
 The highest waterfall in the world geography tells us, Is the Cerosola cas-, cade, in the Alps. having a fall of 24OO feet; that of Arvey, in Savoy is HOO feet. and the falls of Yosemite Valley range rom TOO to 1000 feet But higher yet is the waterfall in the San Cuayatan can- yon, in the state of Durango, Mexico. It was discovered by some prospectors ten years ago In the great barranca district which is called the Tierras Desconocidas While searching for the famous lost mine Naranjal, great roar of water was heard. With great difficulty the party pushed on and up and down the mighty chasm until they beheld the superb fall that Is at least 5000 feet high.

NEW SYSTEM OF BUILDING.

From Youths Companion.
 The postal savings bank building in Amsterdam Holland, is being constructed by the "Monier system,' a new method of construction. A steel framework. like a bird ctge :n appearance, is enveloped in Portland cement, which prevents the steel from rustipg. while the cement itself is rendered elastic. The steel acts entirely in tension and the concrete in pressure. This construction s said to be strong. fireproof and waterproof. and to be grow ing in favor in Europe for government buildings and factories.

BRITISH INFLUENCE LESSENs. Russia is Now Getting the Upper Hand
 In Persia.

New York. November 15.-The Vienna correspondent of the London Times and the New York Tim es says a private let ter received from Tabrize, Persia, points out the increasing weakness of British influence in Persia.
 This, says the writer, comes at a time when Russia is making use of every op- portunity to further her political and economic interest in that region. This unfortunate state of affairs, the letter adds. dates from the conclusion of the Russo-Person loan of 1900. The Russian government has constructed, mostly at its own expense. of the splendid road from Rasht to Kasvin.

Gadsden TimeS-News: A white mans goyernm ent prevails in Alabama and the negro is eliminated.
 Marshall Banner: The smoke of battle has cleared away. The new constitution ratified, "cuffy" is out of politics and the white men will not be forced to do wrong to carry elections for white su- premacy in the future
 Talladega Mountain Home: The oppo- sition to the new constitution made a vigorous contest, but the people had be- come tired of things as they existed un- der the old constitution, and were anxl- ous for a change. Alabama Is to be con- graduated over the good work accom- plished. Now, let us go forward.
 Centreville Press: In the future the white people of Alabama will dictate the politics of the State and not be perjured in maintaining white supremacy. We are proud of the fact that we can now go to the polls and vote and not have our ballot killed by some Hotentot of a negro poli- tician. The negro in politics has been a menace to the prosperity and moral well fare of both races. The negro will be taken care of as he always has been, but he will not trouble the political wa ters for some time to come, at least.
 Ozark Southern Star: The adoption of this new constitution will bring about a new order of things in Alabama and let II haf xyin ha over the old method. The ignorant, cor rupt and vicious negro vote has been eliminated from Alabama politics, and the right to vote is safely lodged in the white men of the State, who will have no further fear of negro domination. The Star believes that not a single white man in Alabama will be disfranchised. and had It's editor thought there would be, he would not have voted for ratifica- tion. The white people of Dale county have long been divided, the negro has held the balance of power in the county. and each side exerted itself to capture this vote and win the elections. Now that this negro vote is eliminated there is no use of further division among the white people,
 Tuscaloosa Times In the majority of towns the vote was almost solid for rati fication; in the country beats it was al most solid against it. Wherever the voters were citizens who mixed with the world and were educated men, who read the newspapers and understood the questions of the day, the vote was in favor of the instrument drawn by inc intelligent body of men who composed the convention; wherever the majority of voters were men who had had few op- portunities and had little chance to be- come familiar with such a docum ent as the new constitution, they voted against 1t. The latter class are like men gropinp in the dark; they fear their own shadows and they dared not cast their ballots for measure which they had been told would deprive them of their voting priyi leg&
 What better argument could be made for advancing the educational cause in Alabama? No more paying investment could be made than to appropriate suff- cient money for the establishment of common schools in every precinct of the State. Let this be done and the "bill. billies" will cease to antagonize the. town- billies in their efforts for the good of the State.
