REPUBLICAN Oppression"

No one can have forgotten the sor-
rows of the Porto Ricans or the alleged
iniquities of the Porto Rico tariff OF
which we heard so much few weeks
ago. 1t was provided in the bill that
the Is per cent of Dingley tariff rates
levied should be abolished as soon as
the legislature of Porto Rico should
provide other means Of raising rev.
enue. That body is now in session and
there is a strong protest in it to any
change. The representatives OF the
Porto Ricans say that no other method
of taxation would furnish the funds for
the islands needs with so little hard
ship to the people. and they are in
clined to let the tariff alone. So per-
ishes another instance of Republican
oppression" Seattle Post-Intelli-

FRANCHISE FOR NEGROES.

The existing qualifications for suf-
frage in Georgia are one years resi-
dence in the state and six months in
| the county and proof of payment OF
all taxes lawfully assessed since 1877.
| The last requirement has the effect OF
excluding thousands Of colored voters
in Georgia by a method which Is not
repugnant to any federal laws, but 1t
Is from some points of view unsatis-
factory to the white electors for the
reason that it practically DISTINGUISHES
considerable number of impecunious
white inhabitant citizens. At the close
of the civil war registration Of all
the electors Of Georgia was authorized,
and it showed the number of colored
citizens at that period to be $4,000 and
white citizens $4,000. Since then by
the removal of disabilities resting on
white voters their number has been
largely increased, and in the presiden-
tial election of 1892 the total number
of voters was 100000, the actual num-
Der of male citizens of voting age at
that period being about 100000, Of
whom 100000 were white and 100000
colored. The practical effect of the tax
provision of the Georgia election law
is to exclude 100000 citizens from the
franchise, of whom considerably more
than two-thirds are colored. Although
this provision has assured white SUI
premacy, it is unsatisfactory to many
of the INDECENT white voters, who find
that in such neighboring states as
Mississippi and South Carolina, no such
discrimination has been found neces-
sary. When the legislature met in Oc-
tober last Gov Gambler submitted in
his message the following recommen-
dation on the subject of elective fran
chise: I'm the interest of goc'l gov
eminent and in the interest of the ne
gro race l recommend that an amend
ment to the constitution be submitted
to the people, providing for a quail
fled suffrage basis on an educational or
a property qualification or both. A
man who has by integrity and fru-
gality acquired a little home and is a
taxpayer has been allowed to vote,
whether he can read and write or not;
but he who has for the last thirty
years had the opportunity Of free
schools and cannot read and write and
who has had an equal chance for the
acquisition of property and yet has
through Incidence or profigacy or
vice failed to become taxpayer, con-
tributing something to the support OF
his state, should have no voice in
making its laws" The Georgia
method of restricting the suffrage Is
regardless of the grandfather clause,
under which other southern states
have been able to exclude illiterate
black voters, while permitting litter
ate white voters to exercise all their
political rights, provided their fathers
were qualified to vote in 1867 or earlier.
The present provision as to suffrage in
Georgia is part of tie statute law
of that state, and the constitutional
amendment which is proposed has,
primarily, for its purpose to make the
discrimination against the colored
voters of the state permanent.-New
York Sun.

GOOD SIGN FOR THE SOUTH.

There are a good many indications
that there is a strong undercurrent OF
sentiment in the south in favor OF gov
ernmental aid for the American ship.
This will, no doubt, be brought out
very strongly at the National Maritime
congress soon to be held in Georgia.
In the meantime such messages as this
from the south show which way the
wind blows:
The Southern Industrial Convention
passed the following resolution and
directed it be sent to be read to the
United States senate: BE it resolved,
That the upbuilding Of our American
merchant marine is very important to
the further development of southern
industry, and therefore we recommend
to our national congress the early pas
sage of ship subsidy bill for all Am
erican vessels which shall be equitably
based upon the tonnage actually car
ried. besides compensation for carrying
the mails"
Our esteemed southern exchanges do
not lead public opinion, but, like news
papers of other sections, try to follow
it closely. A few resolutions like the
above will do much in the way Of she'd
ding the proper light along the path
way of southern journalism. We re-
spectfully recommend to industrial and
commercial bodies to hold aloft this
beacon whenever possible. in order
that our valued contemporaries may
have a light unto their feet.-New

WHY RECRUITING GOES ON.
Two Thousand a Month Is The
Average Rate.
TO DISCHARGE VOLUNTEERS

Washington, Jan. 9l.-Active re-
cruiting for the army is in progress in
all the principal cities of the country.
The authorized strength of the regular
army is at present $4,000 men, and the
recruiting in progress is with view
10 maintaining it at that strength
after the discharge of $4,000 volunteers
June 30 next. All enlistments are for
three years and the number of recruits
averages about 1000 month. Owing
to the delay in action on the army bill,
the impression prevails in the war
department that it will be almost inn
possible to get all the volunteers to
tn country in time to permit their
discharge here by June 80. In that
case it will be necessary to discharge \
number of them in the Philippines on
that date in order to keep them there
until replaced by regular troops now
being recruited. Otherwise it would
not be possible to keep the Philippine
army up to the limit of 10000 men,
regarded as essential to the enforce
ment of the presidents policy, while
the proposed reorganization of the
army is in progress. 1t is said at the
war department that while it is settled
that all volunteers will be discharged
June 30. the course of events in the
near future will determine to con-
siderable extent whether the dis
charges shall take place in the Philip
pines or in the United States. Every
effort will be made to get as many of
them home as possible before their
discharge.

AHA ington, D. c., the following:
"About two months ago I was taken
very i'll with Ia grippe and was obliged
to go to bed. If0Ok three bottles of
Peruna with very beneficial results,
and was able to leave my bed In a
week and regained my usual strength

Frances M. Anderson.
La grippe is, strictly speaking, cpl
demic catarrh-that is to say, variety
of acute catarrh which is so contagi-
GUS and runs course more or less
definite, the same as scarlet fever,
whooping cough, etc.
During the acute stages of la grippe
it is not very fatal disease, but the
condition in which it leaves the sys-
tenn has caused the death Of count
less number.
Indeed nearly every person who has
had la grippe within the last three
years finds himself more or less de-
ranged by the pernicious effects of this
disease. The majority Of those who
have escaped death find life scarcely
worth living.
If this vast multitude of people could
only know with what certainty and
promptness Peruna would relieve them
of all the bad effects which la grippe
has brought upon them, what an untold
amount Of suffering would be averted!
Thousands have already heard how
quickly this remedy will cure in these
cases and have been saved; but tens OF
thousands have not yet heard, and con-
