CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The New York World says that in
the Alabama Constitutional Conven-
tion, now in session, Delegate Craig
proposed to "solve the negro ques-
ton in politics" by giving the ballot
to white women aloue-thus doub-
ling the white vote and putting the
blacks in hopeless minority. This
scheme does not conflict with the
Federal Constitution, as it creates q
new class Of voters, which any State
has the right to do; but if adopted
it would put a burden of political
duty on the white women of Alabams
which they have shown no anxiety
to assume. The Craig proposition is
indorsed by Senator Morgan.
SETTLE ON SUFFRAGE PLAN.
Senator Daniel submitted his suf.
frage clause to the committee and il
is thought 1t will be adopted. The
resolution imposes poll tax and prop
erty or educational qualifications
The voter must have been a resident
of the State two years; of the couh,
ty or city one year and of the pre-
cinct thirty days. He must hold
$500 worth of property, or be the
son or husband of the owner of that
much. From these requirements are
exempted all who served in war and
their sons, except those drawing
pensions or receiving salaries or sti-
pends from official persons. Per-
sons now 90 years of age are also ex-
empted. Provision is made for local
boards, who shall exempt from the
property qualification all persons
who can establish high character in
their community and are possessed
OF sufficient education to read and
write.

Color in Schools
Causes Trouble.

GUTHRIE, Ok, Nov 25.--The color
question in Oklahoma Territory is di-
visible by white, black and red
The white children would not attend
schools where there were negroes. SO
separate schools were established. In
some counties many Indian children
attend the schools established original
ly for the whites. and the white young
sters and their parents declare a re-
pugnance to association with papooses
squaw girls and young braves.
A suggestion to the Indians that
they attend the negro schools was re-
celved with great Indignation, and now
the matter of separate schools for the
Indians has become a political issue in
the Territory.
