1t is practically certain that the bill
pending in the Maryland Legislature, TAX
ing the ballot away from illiterates will
become law. It has passed both houses,
and is again before the House on some
minor amendments made by the Senate
The Governor will sign it. being very
much in favor of it.
Most of the illiterates in the state are
negroes. 1t is estimated that the bill
will take about 5000 votes away
from the Republican party, and
consequently, that party has fought
the bill at every stage. Under
the direction of ex-senator German.
however, the bill has been pushed through
the Legislature. 1t is pretty certain
that it will be a long time before the Re
publican party will carry the state again.
The bill makes no distinction between
white and black illiterates, though the
Republicans claim that It contains pro-
visions which will enable the Demo
cratic county supervisors to discriminate
against the black illiterates. That is only
a party cry, however, and does not make
much impression on the public mind.
The bill does practically what the Mas
sachusetts law against illiterates does.
One point the Republicans make, how
ever, seems to be good one, and that Is
that when the Massachusetts law was
enacted it was provided that illiterates on
the voting lists at that time should re-
main there, and only illiterates coming of
age after the enactment of the law
should be denied the ballot. The Mary
land law takes the ballot from illiterates
at once.
It is said that the prospect of the en-
actment of such law has stimulated the
negroes Of the state wonderfully in their
efforts to learn to read and write. 1t is
predicted that year hence there will not
be nearly as many negroes who cannot
read and write as there are now. The
law may prove 20 be a good thing for all
nliterates in the state, although the Re-
publicans complain bitterly of it.

Drastic treatment for Hlccough..

A Binghamton man began to hiccough
last Saturday. says the Cleveland plain
Dealer. He hiccoughed up all day and all
night. and was hard at 1t Sunday morn
ing. Every remedy that his alarmed
friends gave him seemed to accelerate the
hics. People sent in from all over town
and recommended sure cures, And he
steadily grew worse.
Then a wise neighbor had bright idea.
over to the hiccougher's home, and was
ushered into the room where the afflicted
one was fast hiccoughing his life away
"Hullor' said the neighbor. in light
and cheerful tone; "hows the old soak
this morning."
The sufferer rolled his eyes at the neigh
Dor in a panied surprise.
Don't give me any of your crocodile
glances, snorted the friend. IF you'd
quit drinking when I told you to you
wouldn't be in this shameful condition"
"Wha-hic-at's th-hic-at?" gasped the
sick man.
"oh, don't come any Of your innocent
business on me!' cried the neighbor. 81
know you, you old sponger'
The hiccougher's face turned red.
"What-hic-did you-hic-calI me?" he
suffered.
Called you sponge, you lobster?" bel
lowed the neighbor. You're a pretty OBJ
ject lesson for your unfortunate children,
amt you, you gulping old hypocrite?"
Get out of -hic-houser' roared the
sick man.
go to blazes?' yelled the neighbor.
I'm going to stay right here and see the
last of you. The people on the street sent
me over. Wait until the old VOLTS gone,
they said, and then waive flag out o
the window They're going to have jol-
lihcation supper and fireworks tonight
and don't you dare to disappoint emf
This was too much for the hiccougher.
He said several very bad words as he
made a dash at the neighbor, and they
raced around the room a half dozen times,
the hiccougher getting madden at every
jump, and then the neighbor darted
through the door and escaped.
The sick man flung flower pot at him
as he raced down the yard, and then he
suddenly realized that his hiccoughs had
gone.
For that was a part of the neighbor' S
theory you see. He believed if he could
get the dying man real excited and angry
the affection would leave him. And he
proved he was right.

A recent report from Count Won Valdez
see in China gives an account of what
must have been very interesting fight
Ia says that one German soldier was
slightly wounded" while the Chinese
left $50 dead on the field" force Of
cavalry with four quick-firing guns pur-
sued the fleeing Chinese for twenty miles.
The Chinese were, presumably, on foot,
hence there is every reason for thinking
that during the pursuit of twenty miles
there were other casualties on the part
of the heathens. This kind of Chris
tian" warfare ought to impress itself up
on the persons sitting in darkness in

The battleship Kearsarge is fitted with
the superposed or two-story style of tur-
rets. Of which Admiral Sampson is one
of the originators and strongest advocat-
ers. Two eight-inch guns are mounted in a
turret superposed upon the turret of the
thirteen-inch guns. Recently during a
trial trip of the KeaNarge one OF the
thirteen-inch guns sustained an accident
of a nature so serious as to disable It,.
The gun will therefore have 10 be removed
and replaced with a new one. In order

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. MARCH IS, 1901.

Maj. Gorgas. the sanitary officer of Ha-
vana, takes much pleasure. in sending
out his report OF vital statistics for Feb
ruary. in calling attention to the fact
that the death rate for the month was
only 1882 per 1,Oo0-a lower rate than that
OF Boston, Newark or New Orleans. The
last February of Spanish rule. that of
1898, showed a death rate OF S2.s2 per 1000.
Compared with that rate, the reduction
under American domination has been
something phenomenal. The time is ap-
preaching. Mai. Gorgas thinks. when. so
far from certain American cities being
obliged 20 guard against contagion from
Havana, the latter city will have TO be
on her guard against them.

TWO STORIES.

Many things get into print the truth
Of which there is reason to doubt. Not
long ago there was a story extensively
circulated TO the effect that because the
late ex-President Harrison took a posi-
ton against the administration on the
Philippine question his son Russell was
mustered out of the army months before
there was any good reason for doing so.
The inference from this story was that
there was the kindest relations between
the ex-President and his son.
AS a matter of fact there is reason,
from recent publications, to doubt that
there was such kindly feeling between
them as would induce the administration
to deal harshly with the son simply to
crafty a feeling of bitterness against the
father. At the time of the ex-President' S
marriage it was widely published that
his son and daughter objected 90 their
father marrying again. Indeed, it was
said that they objected so strongly that
the daughter left her fathers house, and,
it is asserted that the son did not visit
his father after the marriage. A Lou
isville Judge is given as authority for
son, believing there was some justice
in the position taken by his children re-
garding his second marriage, divided all
his property between them. except his
house in indianapolis, and said that any
property he might accumulate after his
marriage should go to his wife and chill
dren, If there should be any children
This Louisville judge is also quoted as
saying that the amount he divided be-
tween his son and daughter was abolrt

from his law practice andS his salary

marriage, and it will go to his wife ant

riagts, says the Louisville judge, are
not mentioned in the ex-President's will
There may be some truth in these
stories or there may not be. If it should
turn out that there is no mention II
che will of the children by the first mar
riage there will be some ground TO
thinking there is foundation for tn,
| stories, so far as the distribution o
the ex-President's property is concerned
but it can be safely assumed that thu

One of the last acts OF William L.
Chandler of New Hampshire before retir-
ing from the Senate was to make caus-
tic speech against William A. Clark. who
has been elected a Senator from Montana
In this speech Mr.. Chandler presented an
itemized account which purported to show
that Mr. Clark had spent s2.O5s,S5O in his
two campaigns i'm corrupting the Legisla-
ture of Montana in order to compass his
election to the Senate. Clark and his
friends laugh at Chambers statement, and
some of the latter allege that the reason
he made it was that he was in the pay
of the DAILY faction. They go so far as
to assert that the late Marcus Daily not
only paid Chambers campaign expenses
in New Hampshire. but gave him 800 900
in cash, the consideration being his oppo-
sition to Clark in the Senate. Each story
is given for what is worth. Neither is
worth much, in all probability.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record( DEM says:
"a great many shallow pated theorists
affected to believe that the way to make
people good and to keep them good is
by fencing them in with prohibitory stat
utes. When anything goes wrong these
WORTHLESS shout: Let us amend the
Constitution" If Statutory regulation
were effective the Ten Commandments
would pretty well cover the ground.
They have an authority that cannot be
given to merely human regulations; but
though backed up by statutory pains
and penalties they are stil violated. 1t
is personal amendment, not statutory
amendment, that keeps life sweet and
wholesome. The world is governed too
much."
The Boston Herald. Qnd) says:
Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina,
elected as a Democrat from state in
which there is no Republican party or
ganization, even. that amounts to any
thing, has Joined the Republican party.
This, on its face, looks like a sacrifice
made for principle its disinterestedness,
however, Is somewhat lessened by the
statement that Mr.. McIsurin expects a
Judgeshp from President Mckinley" .

There has of late been quite a con-
troversy il the Florence county pa
pers over very unfortunate affair
which occurred at Beulah last April,
and which was published in these col
umns-the burglarizing the store OF
D. W. Alderman Sons Co., by young
man by the name of Zingle Hicks. The
party was captured in the act and bound
over for trial. When court convened
the case was mol prosed, because the
Alderman's did not care to prosecute.
Since then there has been an effort
made to create the impression that the
boy is OF unsound mind, and is the VIC
tim of spite against the father on &C
count of political difference. This is
denied by a paper signed by 23 OF the
most substantial citizens of that COM
munity. 1t is indeed unfortunate that
the friends OF the young man were not
content in saving the young man from
prison, because their attempts to place
such men as compose the D. W. Al
derman Sons Company in false posi-
tion by saying that the prosecution was
the result of political differences, will
not do. The Alderman's are straight
forward business men, and their not
pressing prosecution against one whom
they caught in their store stealing was
charity for youth. The Hicks side OF
the controversy bellies itself as the good
people of the community testify.
