Hon. Hannis TayIor's Idea OF
Thorough Suffrage Reform.

Montgomery, Ala, June 3.--Hon Hannis
Taylor, formerly minister to Spain, was
the principal speaker at the observance
of the birthday of President jefferson Da-
Wis in Montgomery tonight. His speech
was resume of the history of Mr.. Davis
In war and peace. In conclusion he re-
ferred to the question of debarring the
negroes of Alabama of the right to vote.
In speaking of the assembled constitu-
tional convention he said:
II would say to the council thus assem-
bled that one thing is admitted ON all
hands. and that is that a plan asking for
the disfranchisement of the mass of ne
gro voters of unloubted validity can be
devised, provided there is among us
spirit of patriotic self-sacrifice and self
abnegation, willing to accept such
scheme coupled with the probability that
a few of our own people may be disfran-
chised too
Il would say to such council that
much as l prize the right to vote, 1 my
self am willing to surrender it to the
state once and forever. If such sacrifice
upon my part is necessary for the com
mon good. Have 1 the right to he vain
enough to believe that each one of you
will not be willing to do the same thing
under the same circumstances? When
we contemplate the terrible consequences
of failure, can we afford to temporize, to
hesitate, to imperil a great result upon
which our very civilization hangs be-
cause we dare not appeal to a few of
our own people to make temporary sac
rifce?
my faith in the people is so firm, so
absolute. that 1 could not at a critical
time like the present hesitate for mo.
ment TO go directly to them"

LIVINGSTON SIZED 1T UP.
The Philippine Question Proving
Troublesome Now.

Troublesome Now.
Washington, June 3.-While the Presi-
dent is bowed down with grief and anxi-
ETY., occasioned by the perhaps fatal ill-
ness of his wife, there is a fierce agita-
ton going on in the political world to see
whether an extra session of Congress
should be called to untangle the Philip
pine snarl.
1t seems that Representative Livingston
sizes up the situation from an administra-
ton standpoint in his recent interview,
when he stated that many of the Presl-
dents advisers deemed an extra session
inevitable in view of the recent decision
Of the Supreme Court in the insular cases.
l. is said now that Senator Spooner, the
author of the Philippine amendment to
the army BILL admits that in the light of
the decision of the Supreme Court, the
President has no authority to levy GUS
toms duties upon goods coming from the
Philippines into the United States. 1t is
the wish of the President to avert an ex-
ira session, and tomorrow cabinet meet
ing may point the way by which the
present duty on products from the Philip
pines may be retained without a special
session OF Congress.

Odd Things In n Day.

From the Lewiston (Me) Journal.
An Augusta man is having an unhai-
lowed, masculine laugh at his wife. The
first of hast week, after several days suf
fering with a bad tooth, she made up her
mind to have 1t extracted. Now, gas and
ether are two things which she can't and
won't stand, and while she was worrying
about the torture in store for her, her
husband heartlessly suggested that she
take nip of whisky to brace her up
for the ordeal.
The husband concocted the doses with
the cleverness Of a graduate mixer. He
contrived to load them so that the tast 2
was as mild as a May morning-but the
KICK thereof was the kick of a March
blizzard. His wife took the doses, blindly
trusting to his good faith-and--well, m
view of the fact that the lady had never
taken more than a tablespoonful of the
ardent, and that amount only In the dread
days of grip, the effect of that seductive
end injurious tipple was pronounced.
She had the tooth out. She didn't feel
II. Indeed, she hardly knew she'd been
to the dentists, and things In the house
had strange double-and-twlsted look
when her husband brought her home in
carriage. She felt horribly mortified
when the full consciousness OF what she
had been through came back to her She
expected that her husband would attempt
TO Jolly her life out, but when he came
home that evening and made only a pass
ing remark about her visit to the den
lists she came to the conclusion that
there must be a greater streak Of for
bearance in his makeup than she had
given him credit for.
But when nearly every ring OF the post
man left Kelley cure circular at her
door she withdrew her mental observa-
ton in regard to her husbands forbear-
ance. The circulars are stin coming, and
the friends OF a certain well-known pro-
fessional man are wondering why he is
asking them to address envelopes to his
wife.
