The naturalization process should be

Ohio.

There Is an amusing change of attitude
toward Mr.. Hanna in Ohio on the part Of
his political opponents.
For some years he has been described by
them as the power behind the throne. Men
seeking ONCE were advised to obtain his
favor. He was all-powerful, and made and
unmade political fortunes. Men disap-
pointed in their quests were told that Mr..
Hanna was to blame. II he had favored
them success would undoubtedly have
crowned their efforts. The object OF all
this of course was not to compliment but
to embarrass Mr.. Hanna. If his constit-
uents could be persuaded that he really
possessed the influence attributed to him
he would be brought in time to struggle
under heavy load of disfavor, for as a
rule ten men fail where one succeeds In the
chase after office.
Now the attempt Is made to sympathize
with Mr.. Hanna He is described as the
most powerless man in national affairs.
He has been dashed from his pedestal.
Presently the poorest creature will refuse
to do him honor. He would probably fail
II he tried to get a laborer job under gov
eminent. Not only Mr.. Hanna, but Ohio.
Is no longer in the republican calculation.
The seat of power has been transferred to
n
eye leaders are no longer of any account
in this town.
And so Mr.. Hanna's left-handed SYM
pathizers put these questions: How long
will a man of his stamp stand such
a situation? How can he bear to be
a figure of no Importance when he
has 50 recently been filling the CEN
ter Of the stage? And they answer the
questions themselves Not long. He will
soon grow tired Of his present insignificant
place and return to private life. So why
should his voice count for anything in this
years Ohio campaign? Why should the
republicans of that state bestir themselves
now when fortune has robbed them of their
primacy In the partys national councils.
Mr.. Hanna, 1t need hardly be stated, was
not born yesterday. Deeply attached as
he was to Mr.. Mckinley. he is not likely
to lose his interest In public affairs because
Of his friends untin1ely death. Nor are
the republicans in general In Ohio likely to
sulk at this time when the loss of their
state would be certain to give such I'M
bounded comfort to the other side One
would rather suppose them working with
increased energy, in order to lay as an
additional wreath on Mr.. McKinley's coffin
a majority for the ticket which had he
lived he would so enthusiastically have
supported.

The Courts and the Suffrage.

The Virginia convention has yet to pass
upon the question of suffrage, but the diff
ferent propositions presented give the i'm
preston that in whatever Is done the negro
Is to get the hot end Of the poker. Nat
urally therefore the members of that race
in the state are very much exercised, and
are reported to be arranging to take the
matter at the proper time into the courts
for settlement If this is done the country
will follow the proceedings with the great
est concern. There is no more important
question than that of the suffrage, and the
developments of the last few years in the
south have invested it with new interest
for all the people.
Southern action on this subject, taken in
every case with the confessed object of
shutting out the negro. has developed two
new wrinkles. One is the proposition that
the right of suffrage may be a matter of
Inheritance A man, no matter how ig-
nOrant. or poor. or undesirable as a citi-
zen. may vote if his grandfather was, or is,
voter. This proposition has been con-
demned by many able lawyers not only as
unconstitutional but as vicious and I'M
American They declare that it violates
the principles upon which this government
is founded But the courts have not as yet
passed upon it.
The other proposition Is that men apply
ing to vote should be questioned as to the
meaning of the Constitution of the United
States. or as to the duties pertaining to the
offices then to be filed. and their compe-
tency under this test is to be decided by
the local boards of registrars This, 1t will
be seen. confers upon such boards very
broad and dangerous powers. They are
necessarily composed of partisans, and par
hsan majorities may easily be made by
them Often, too, their members may be
wholly incompetent to put such inquiries
or to pass upon the suff1ciency of he re-
plies; and the whole proceeding in such
cases becomes a grim sort of farce.
But, In the last analysis, the question is
reduced to this: If the negro is unworthy
of the suffrage, and the south on the
strength OF that allegation deprives him of
the ballot should she be permitted ltnger
to swell her strength in Congress and In the
electoral college on his numbers within
her borders? If the negro is incapable of
choosing wisely in a race for constable in
his precinct, should his vote be cast by
proxy In the making of national laws end
In choosing a President of the United
States? Sooner or later these questions will
have to be answered. The sooner the bet
ter They have been pressing for some
time.
