ALABAMA's NEW CONSTITUTION

1t is estimated that Alabama's new
constitution was ratified at the recent
election by a majority of about 10000.
The feature that is of chief interest in
the north is that part of the constitution
designed to deprive legally the negroes
of political power.
Suffrage is conferred on all male citi
zens of Alabama who have served hon
orably in any war in which Alabama
was concerned, to all their lawful de-
scendants, and to all persons of good
character who understand the duties
of citizenship, provided they are regis
tered before Dec. 20, 1902.
Negroes can only hope to obtain the
right Of the ballot under the merit
clause. But as white men will be the
ones who will pass judgment upon the
qualifications, the black men of Ala
bama cannot hope to exert much infiu-
ence in elections.
But not content with the "grandfath-
er" and qualification clause mentioned,
the constitutional convention provided
other qualification limitations that will
become effective after 1902.
Should political dissensions become
rife in Alabama it is remotely possible
that the negro might, under the stress
of party rivalry, become a factor, in a
limited degree at the elections. But in
that case, he would be a tool in the
hands of others, rather than an indie
pendent agent.
Mr.. Washington and some other
prominent negroes, do not appear to be
dismayed by such legislation as that
enacted in Alabama. They seem to
think that the negro will be quite as
well off when debarred from voting as
he is when permitted to cast his ballot
only to have it ignored. They are con-
tent to await time when education
among both whites and blacks may
make better things possible The Unit
ed States Supreme Court, however
may invalidate the grandfather
clause. Furthermore the disfranchise-
rnent of the negro is bound to be a
theme for more or less debate in Con-
gress though whether to any good pur-
pose cannot be foreseen.

THE NEW CANAL TREATY


Though the contents Of the new ca
nal treaty just signed are held in con-
fdence until its transmission to the
Senate by the President it is reasona -
bly, argued that the features that
proved objectionable in the old treaty
have been removed. Save on the basis
Of some such understanding negotia-
ton could not very we'll have been re-
newed
Contrary to the expectation Of many.
Great Britain. instead OF taking seri-
Gus umbrage at the attitude Of the
Senate toward the old treaty laid aside
whatever pique may have been felt at
first, and entered into another conven-
ton in a spirit apparently very fair
and liberal.
The new treaty, it is supposed, abro-
gates and takes the place Of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. Furthermore the
guarantee of neutrality of the canal
rests solely with this country, to which
is given also the sole right to construct
and maintain the canal The water
way is to be open to the commerce OF
the world without discrimination as to
rates in favor Of Americans. It is TAX
en- for granted that the restriction as
to The fertilization Of the canal is not
contained in the new agreement.
A considerable element of the British
press has advocated all along that
Great Britain should make the con-
cessions sought by the Unitel States.
There is little tendency toward bitter
ness manifested by any of the British
newspapers thus far though it is COM
monty assumed that the United States
has received about what it wished.

THE CHYRSANTHEMUM

Within two or three decades the
chrysanthemum, as it is seen today,
has been developed. The best blooms
20 years ago were scarcely larger than
the biggest asters. The flower became
popular, then it became a fad. I'M
possible youths with mops of football"
hair, and carrying canes with prodig-
ious handles, were pictured wearing
immense chrysanthemums on the coat
lapels. But the flower survived what
ever disparagement was subsequently
case upon it, and settles once for all
deep in the affections of the people.
The asters, representing a most Won
derful color scheme, go, and the chry-
santhemums come. Their reign, in the
season, is almost absolute. Though
adorning the florists windows long aft
err the season of snow the chrysanthe-
mum is somehow associated with sum
mer. It's wealth of color speaks of lit
tie else than sunshine. There is some-
thing about it too, that suggests hardi-
ness and strength.
The chrysanthemum is not an eXpen-
sive flower. A large bloom or two in
a vase gives a highly artistic effect,
and the charm does not fade away in
day or two, but remains almost un-
diminished a week, at least, provided a
little care be taken. A very beautiful
chrysanthemum bloom may be pur-
chased for 10 cents. Who will deny it
is not we'll worth the price?
1t would be an oversight, in praising
the chrysanthemum, not to mention
the brave show it makes in the flower
shop windows. The florists know all
about that, and make the best of the
opportunity. Thus the people have the
full enjoyment of the chrysanthemums
beauty if they but look.
