THE GR4NDFIIHER CLAUSE

| Although the Alabama Constitutional
| Convention will probably be in session
| two weeks longer its most important
work is done. Many changes have been
| made in the old instrument which the
| new Constitution will supersede The
| most important, Of course, are the pro-
visions for suffrage In the matter of
voting qualifications Alabama has sur
passed all of the southern States. 1t
has grandfather clause" designed
to protect illiterate whites, which is
without parallel in Constitution making
in the South. This clause was strong
iy opposed by Senator Morgan, ex-Gov-
ernor Oates and other able Democrats
Hereafter, if the new Constitution is
ratified by the people and upheld by the
Supreme court OF the United States,
the descendants Of soldiers who fought
in the Colonial, Indian, Mexican and
Civil wars will be allowed to vote in
ALABAMA even IL tDey 10 not possess
the educational qualification prescribed
by the new suffrage law. 1t is safe to
say that there are not many negroes
who will be qualified to vote under the
grandfather clause" as it will be al
most impossible for them to prove de-
scent from heroic ancestors All vot-
ers not protected by the grandfather
clause will he allowed to vote only
upon proving their ability to read and
write any article Of the United States
Constitution. In addition, they must
pay poll tax of $1.50, or pay taxes on
land assessed at $780,
Senator Morgan opposed the grand
ather clause on the ground that it Gre
ates a hereditary voting class, and that
such class cannot be justified legally
in a democracy. Quite likely he is
right Even the town born of New Ha-
ven do not claim to be members of
hereditary voting class, although they
are much respected and highly privi-
legged.

ETrERs no posTERIrY.

Letters to the next century have been
written by number of citizens of Col
orado Springs and locked in a chest
which is not to be opened till after mid
night, December 81 1000. The effort
has been to prepare a legacy for pos
terity" In the form of letters from
prominent men and women who pos
sess an intelligent knowledge Of the
present conditions of the city,
Good idea. Let's initiate it in New
Haven. Some letters to the New Ha-
veners of 1000 would be interesting to
them. We might tell them about our
splendid pavements, our splendid tax
assessment our splendid public spirit
and other things. These letters might
not only be interesting to our descend
ants, but they might also keep them
from looking back too fondly to the
good old days.

Ruth.


l walked beside the ribboned corn
one sacred, silent Sabbath morn,
The soft wind in the branches stirred,
heard n single tiuting bird.
And far away DER stream and tree
The distant church bells chimed for me.
And back from childhood's mist and dream
There came IL dear and radiant dream,
! know not why, this day, in sooth
My thought should stray to that fair Rutl
Who iii the barley harvest's sheen
Still walks, still bends the ears to CLEAN,
Still in the dusk of glimmering dawn
Fits homeward eer the dusk be gone,
And in Naomi's locking clasp
Finds nope and joy within her grasp.
But 1t is Ruth I seem to See
Sweet, slender, lissome, beckoning me
TO that still time of childish bliss,
EARTH dearest thing, my mothers kiss,
When in Il Bible worn and old,
But worth far more than gems Of gold,
We little ones on Sabbath day
Would read the stories, spell our way
Through Abraham and Isaac down
To Dayid's deeds of great renown
And find no lore in all the books
SO sure to wake delightful looks
And those old Bible stories did,
Between those leathcrn covers hid.

Your voices touch this mountain air3
A vision of YOU, age and youth,
Unto my eyes to-day Is borne
Here, by these fields of waving corn.

Will cause water to seek its own level
When free to do so.
8. We will be glad to secure an in

and when we succeed in getting sucl
THIS bill will do no harm. whenever we
fail to have such infallible officials il
Will do great good.
TO- This bill does not deprive prop
erty owners of any method of relief now
existing. The other methods remain
and the use of this is entirely optional
on the part of each taxpayer who is fla
gravity over assessed.
| ii. After long and careful considera-
tion the Chamber of Commerce offered
| this bill. 1t has been advocated before
the Judiciary committee by eight prom
inent lawyers of New Haven and twen-
ty-two representative business men,
u. Many petitions numerously sign
ed by the smaller taxpayers of Lew
Haven have been presented in aid of
this measure
10. The popular branch of the Com
mon Council have. endorsed it. The
Board of Councilmen voted % to to
direct the Corporation Counsel to advo-
cate this bill before the Judiciary COM
mittee.
a. The opposition to the bill was tri-
fling, consisting principally of advocates
of the single tax theory of Henry
George, which would place all the bur-
dens of taxation on real estate. The
leader of the opponents Of the bill, who
is an advocate of the single tax theory,
pays no taxes either on real estate or
personality, not even poll tax.
10. This bill operates justly and equi-
tably for all owners, whether the prop
erty be small or large, because it is I'M
lawful to assess any real estate for more
than its present fair market
value being the same rule which APP
plies to stock of corporations and per-
sonal property generally. This rule is
now observed on such property, but is
violated as to real estate,
16. This bill will furnish the most d.
rect. simple and natural remedy, and
after the present over assessments are
corrected the proposed statute will re-
main constant and efficient influence
in deterring assessors from such over
assessments in future,
II. IF fragrant over assessments
should again occur this statute would
be at once available as a sure and Just
remedy.
If this method should result success
fully in New Haven, and the general
assembly should approve, it might at
another session of the legislature be ex-
tended over the whole State by public
act.

MERIDEN BALLOONIsT'S DEATH.
Balloon Collapsed-Made His First AS
cension in New Haven.

| Balloon Collapsed-Made His First AS
censon in New Haven.
Frank p Mcbride, the well known
aeronaut of Meriden, died at the Chel-
sea- Mass, hospital Sunday afternoon
as the result of injuries sustained in
an accident August 2, when his balloon
| fell from height of 200 feet and he
| reached ground before he got a chance
to open his parachute He was twenty
three years old and had been in the
business ten years. His body was re-
moved to Meriden for burial.
New Haveners will perhaps remem-
Der McBrde's first ascension, which
was made at Savin Rock about eight
years ago with the jewell brothers. The
young man was then but sixteen years
old, but was full of daring. His bal
loon was not sufficiently filed. and a
strong breeze swept her along the lawn
and into a bunch of tree tops, which he
had succeeded in grasping. He de-
scended safely.
Since then has had many thrilling
experiences. Only last July he was in
jured in Brooklyn, N. Y, while making
an ascension. After he left the hospi-
tai he went to Point of Pines to see q
man who was to make an ascension.
The latter failed to show UP and so that
the people would not be disappointed
he offered to make the ascensions for
the rest of the week, although he was
then bandaged up.
When the balloon collapsed it was
moving in a westerly direction, but the
falling distance was not enough to al
low him to use the parachute. He
struck the ground on his feet and fell
over on his back, splitting the bone in
the heel of his left foot and hurting his
backbone. Those injuries, together
with the ones he received in Brooklyn
a few weeks before, proved fatal Be-
sides his parents he is survived by six
brothers and three sisters.

nOHN ON HE LICK,

Chicago is gnashlng her teeth be-
cause the much heralded line of steam
ers running direct from Chicago to
Liverpool has been abandoned after
being in existence but a few months.
| The reason given by the steamship
company for the failure of the under
| taking Is that the insurance rates on
! goods shipped by this route were so
high that 1t was impossible to carry on
the business profitably. Perhaps there
is something in this, but there are evil
IDENTIFY other reasons. The Marine
Journal mentions the fact that in going
from Chicago to the ocean a vessel must
pass through the following waters, in
the order named: Lake Michigan, Lake
Huron, ST. Clair river, ST. Clair lake,
Detroit river, Welland canal, Lake On
tario, st. Lawrence river, Cardinal
canal, Galops canal, Soulanges Lachine
Montreal, and thence through the Gulf
of st. Lawrence to the Atlantic. "Most
mariners adds the Marine Journal,
know that this is little too much
cross country navigation for oceango-
ing steamers"
Chicago hates to fail in anything she
undertakes, and therefore it is not sur
prsing that she blames the insurance
companies. She couldn't reasonably
blame herself for biting off more than
she could chew.

Il CHEER FUL KANSAS COUNT

"a IN Efh q w n n SiS w -
That Kansas Is not utterly cast down
by the failure of her wheat crop Is in
dictated by the fact that the people of
Sumner county in that State have de-
cided to hold wheat jubilee in Sep
TENDER. And there is good reason for
the jubilee. The farms of Sumner
county produced this year 100000
bushels of wheat, or one per cent. of
the total production. 1t was supposed
last summer that Sumner county had
reached the maximum of it's wheat-pro-
ducing capacity when it reported a
crop of 5,759,S60 bushels out of a total
of So, 044 bushels produced by the en-
tire State, but it has over 1900, 900 bush
els better this year, and has more than
held it's ratio. AT last years prices the
crop should be worth about $500, 900.
Perhaps a clearer conception of the
magnitude Of Sumner county's yield can
be obtained when it is considered that
ltS wheat crop is from four to tlVe times
greater than that of many Of the States.
1t is greater than New Jerseys crop for
1900 by 100000 bushels, it exceeds Virgil
MAS by 100000 bushels, it is not far
from Kentucky's total, and it is from
one-third to one-half as large as the
wheat crops of some of the leading ag-
ricultural States of the West.
Good for Sumner county, Kansas 1t
Is cheerful and cheering place.
