All Would Be Disfranchlsed.

Those politicians who have suddenly become so scrupulous to Democratic pledges in relation to the disfranchis- ing of any white men, quite overlook the fact that the Mississippi under standing" clause would disfranchise all white men-all men-including their own wise and scrupulous selves; for it calls for the correct construction of any section of the State constitu- ton that may be read to them. The next batch of judicial decisions would perhaps disfranchise the entire State, for 1t is coming about that no one can tell what construction court will place upon a section, any more than they can tell what petit jury will do. Those demagogues who are now afraid of shutting out even those who by in- dividual remissness shut out them selves, do not hesitate to advocate a plan that would disfranchise every voter in the State.
 To make matters worse they pro- pose to let them back to suffrage, after having been disfranchised, by partial, unjust and fraudulent methods. They propose to let the county or other To- cal bosses sift them back as to them seems best. They would first disfran- chise all, and then they would recon struct them into voters just so far as they see fit. This is the Mississippi plan in all its nakedness.
 And it is a mistake to say that this plan has been declared constitutional In one case under it, before it had been fully and broadly applied. the clause was upheld, but that it will be upheld hereafter under any and all circum- stances is exceedingly doubtful. It is wildly improbable. when the partisan nature of the Supreme Court is taken into consideration. Governor Jones has explained the judicial status of the Mississippi Understanding" clause in clear and lucid manner, and his conclusions as to it are irresistible.
 The demagogical nature of the op- position to a straight out-and-out poll tax provision is shown in this matter In relation to poll tax the dema-

Washington, June 4 = (Spectal.) - In communicating to the Cubans the refusal to accept the notifications made in the Platt amendment by tho Constitutional Convention our government did not ex- press the real irritation that is felt in official circles On the contrary the tone of the dispatch communicated to the Cu- bans through General Wood was courte- ous and kindly. yet 1t made it very clear indeed that the United States could not permit any nonsense. It is hoped that this will be sufficient to make the Gu bans realize that they can not fool with tho United States. but must accept the conditions imposed on them unreservediy or continue indefinitely under American rule with the possibility that when Con gress meets steps will be taken which will be far more unsatisfactory to Cuba than the Platt amendment. The tone of the Havana press is regarded as rather en- couraging for a final settlement. but it may still be necessary to porogue the convention and order an election for a new one, which will be expressly for the purpose of ratifying the Platt amend ment.
 The indications are that by the time Congress reassembles the movement for the re-establishment of the army can teen will be so strong that it can not be resisted. The testimony as to the effect of the abolishment of the army canteen upon the men of the army Is so strong as to be convincing to the most preju- diced. It Is shown that not only is dis and that men who have never before been known to get drunk have been so on sev- eral occasions since the canteen was abolished. It is also shown that the health of the army Is not so good par ticularly in the matter of diseases re- sulting from the debauchery that follows over indulgence in liquor.
 In other words, the evidence makes it appear that instead of promoting tenn perance. as the advocates of the change insisted 1t would, the abolishment of the army canteen has been an encourage ment to intemperance and that the saloon keepers who crowd the vicinity of army reservations have enjoyed a prosperity such as they had not before experienced. The men of the army re- sent the attitude of the temperance crowd, which Is that they are children and actually prisoners, and instead of the light beer they drink In the United States vile whisky, and In the Philip pines viler bino, which is really a wood alcohol and absolute poison. They are sullen under the restrictions placed upon them as to drink and when they get a

SANTA FEE TO BURN OIL.

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tisg.
 President E. P. Ripley of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad system, has been inspecting the Beaumont oil fields In Texas, and he says that he is satisfied of the practical value of this oil for fuel in locomotives All of the engines on the Atchison lines in Texas are to be equipped at once for oil. Tn less than year Mir. Ripley expects to see oil used as fuel on nearly all of the loco motives in the southwestern territory. The use of this same quality of oil on rail- roads rem ote from the fields is a doubt full question, as it would not pay to go to any great expense for freightage.

chance to leave the military reservations and drink the vile liquors obtained off them, they are not responsible for their conduct In view of such facts and of the earnestness of reputable public men and of practically every officer in the army in advocating a return to the can- teen system 1t is the confident hope of everybody in Washington who is inter ested in the morale of the army that the weakened Congressman who were afraid to vote contrary to the demands of the inexperienced women temperance theorists will undo the bad work for which they are now morally responsible.
 Commissioner Yerl1es has before him a most interesting case for decision. The revised statutes of the United States provide that cigars shall be sold in boxes and discretion is given the com missioner of internal revenue to decide exactly what box is. An contemplating cigar manufacturer in St. Louis. realiz- ing that novelties are good advertise ments and that anything that would tend to prevent cigars from becoming
 
 conceived the idea of having glass jars manufactured with glass or tin tops that Screwed on. He also had some glass vessels manufactured that were shaped like boxes. He advertised that he sold cigars so packed as to keep them from being damp. These glass ''boxes" or jars are very attractively made and are excellent advertisements costing about ten times as much as the ordinary box of wood.
 In the tops of some of them is paper, the rim being glass or tin. The question as to whether these are really boxes in the meaning of the law is before Com missioner of Internal Revenue Yerkes, and he will probably decide that they are not boxes. The reasons for this decis- ion are very clear. As the glass boxes" are attractive the inclination of the purchaser, whether a retail cigar dealer or private individual, will be to use them for cigars after they are empty, which Is contrary to the law The temp tation is presented to manufacturers, sell ing cigars over the counter, ito fill and refill these glass boxes several times with cigars upon which the internal rev enue tax has not been paid. It would be almost impossible for the internal revenue agents to ascertain that such frauds were being practiced, and if the glass 'boxes' were generally used the government might be easily defrauded out of large sums of money, through evasions of the tax. The case presented to the commits sioner is of direct interest to every cigar manufacturer and cigar dealer in the United States.

 Individually he is at premium in Texas, and one is not sure but that the primary cause or underlying principle of the so-called antitrust laws of Texas was a defiance thrown out to the world against the suppression of individuaism by aggregation or combination in any shape, enunciating the principle possibly with an excess of language and redun- dancy of words. but always emphasizing the doctrine, insisting on the individual ism of the man even to the detriment, as some would think, of the State as 8 whole
