the suffrage. the negro problem in tho South will no longer be as menacine as it has been in the past. The Bos ton Herald and other New England newspapers assert that the "indiffer- ence of the Republican party to the disfranchisement of negroes in the South will not continue On the other hand, these newspapers frankly ad- init that any attempt to upset the laws enacted by southern legisla- lures, or to reduce southern represen- tation in congress, would make the South more solid than eyer," and defeat the plans which have been made to establish lilly white" Re. publican party in the South. In view of this last fact, the attitude which the next congress will assume toward the 'illiterate negro" statistics called for from the census by the last con- gress will be of great interest.

THOSE INDICTMENTS.

fin the matter of Che indictments re turned by the Jefferson county grand jury against Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells, Esq. w B. Vance, and Constable PilSington, it is not for the Graphic to say whether or not they are guilty or innocent, as that IS a question to be determined i'll the courts. except in the case of Esq Vance. against whom the indictment has already been dismissed on de murrer. and Esq Vance restored to the official position he held prior to the finding of the indictment and bis | removal by Judge Grace Of course shere was no trial Of the case on It's ,eal merits. and there could be none apon an indictment so faulty as to fail 10 name the person from whom Esq. Vance received the alleged illegal fee, ,and nothing else could be done but sustain tha demurrer and dismiss the indictment.
 As to the indictment against MT sorrels. the Graphic was not sur prised at it's finding and return by the grand jury; for unenviable talk about him in connection with his official acts had been common for some time In fact, so common that II

 Four of these-Missssipp Louis jana, North Carolina and South Car olina-have amended their constitu, tions in the last ten years so as to disfranchise illiterate voters altogeth- CT
 In Arkansas and, by the new law in Maryland, the voter must mark bal lot without any party emblems or di- visions of the candidate into party groups, and is not allowed to take any one into the voting booth with him to help him in marking his ballot. so that education enough to pick his fayorites out of the alphabetical lists will be necessary
 On May 21 the Alabama constitu- tional convention meets in Montgom- cry to frame a new constitution, the declared purpose being to deal with the suffrage problem The state will southern states and deprive illterates of the right to vote.
 The Virginia constitutional conven- ton will meet in June and will dis cusS the adoption of an educational uaifieation-an issue which has long been a burning one in that state.
 Of course, in the states of the black belt more drastic measures are re- quired to attain white supremacy than where the negroes form a smaller pro portion of the population. According ly. in Louisiana, a voter must be able to read and write, must own $500 worth of property assessed in his name or must have been able to vo' Q January 1867. or be lineally de- scended from a person able to vote on that date.

reached the ears of the prosecuting attorney himself. and he demanded an investigation by the grand jury His request was granted with the result that he was indicted. MT. Sorrells said. when he asked for the investigation. that he had no fear of the result and that he was conf dent that after the grand jury had in vestigated the charges against him that they would see that the charges were groundless and exonerate him. However, the grand jury felt that the charges were substantiated by proof strong enough to warrant an indict- ment and prosecution of Mir. Sor- rells on the charges contained there in. The grand jury was made up of as good citizens as there are in Jeffer- son county. and the Graphic believes they have acted thoroughly con scientious in the matter. and that the indictment is not the result of any malicious feeling on the part of any of the jurors toward Mr Sorrells.
 However. Mr. Sorrells protests his innocence of the charges made against him in the indictment and maintains that his trial will result in an acquit- tai. The law presumes that he is in nocent until he is convicted by unim- peachable evidence, and no other law would be just If Mir. Sorrells is in, nocent he should be given as speedy a trial as possible. so that his charac- ter may be relieved of so grave a stigma as has been imposed upon it by the serious allegations in the in dlctment. If he Is guilty, the trial should occur as quickly as is consist ent with the ends of justice in rela- tion to both defendant and the com | monweaith, for he continues as the l chief representative of society's inter ests in the Eleventh judicial district and will so continue till his conyic. tion' and if he is guilty of the charges made against him, he is unworthy to wear the official ermine with which he has been clothed by the people i,n should not be longer allowed tc diserace it than is necessary for a faii' and impartial trial.

TANDARD OIL DIVIDENDS.

A New York special says that the Standard Oil company has declared a dividend of l2 per cent, which means distribution of s12 900. This dividend is payable on June 1 ,. Since January the trust has declared div. ldend of 20 per cent. In four months, therefore. the oil trust has earned S32 .000 GOO in profits for the stockhold CTS, an average of SS .000 900 a month or at the yearly rate of S96 .000 o0o. It is estimated in Wall street that the trust will probably pay in all 75 per cent dividends during 1901.. or s75.. O0o ,0o0.

those in the East and South are seq iously considering whether their best chance for winning in the future does not lie in marking back to the old tar. if issue, with a difference. and would be involved with the subject of the trusts, which, for some time. has been of such increasing importance to this country.
 There is no doubt that the extor ton of the manufacturers, whether combined in trusts, in huge corpora tons or as individuals, in demanding heavy prices for their wares at home. where the tariff prevents foreign com petition, and selling them abroad for tune of the home price in order to meet foreign competition, has excited a great deal of bitterness. Some few Republicans like MT. Babcoek of Wis. cohsln and some few manufacturers and trust leaders, like Mr. Flint of New York. have realized the temner of the people and have advocated ma. terial reductions in the tariff.
 But these stand so much alone in their ideas that their influence will amount to little or nothing. the ma. Jority or the manufacturers being de termined to hang on to their protee. tion to the last gasp.
 If the Democrats will use the thunder which Mir Babcock has vain. ly endeavored to steal they will once more regain control of the govern. ment
