Alabama is the latest southern stale
to follow the example OF Mississippi
and South Carolina in preparing for
constitutional amendment which
will disfTanehise iise eoiored voters
An election WAS held about Two weeks
ago 10 decide whether u eonrshtion
should b. called for the purpose OF
amending the constitution in man
ner similar to that in which the eosi'
siiIutsons OF Mississippi aud other
southern states have been amended
and the result OF the election was
triumph for the r-yisionists.
In Alabama. even more than In the
other states mentioned. IL Is clear
that III. object is solely To disfran-
chls. the coiocei voters. The Demo
cratic caucus which recommended III.
holding OF special election passed a
resolution picisins .h. Democratic
party ms follows: we pledge our
faith TO the p~opie OF Alabama not
To deprive amy whit. man OF ih. night
TO yo,e. except for the conviction o.
infamous crime"
In the other states. the conventions
have kept within bounds by passing
amendments which are nomlnaiiy in'
tended TO dI.franchis. iliiicra;-s OF
both races. III. rcai purpose was
plain enough. but IL has not br-a
nyowci so openly ns In this ease.
or course. this amendment 10 'hc

States. and win H. 80 pronounced "
IL ever gets before the federal su-
prrnc Court In n concrete case. II
also brings into operation that pro-
vision Of sh- fourt-cnth amendment
which directs the Congress, when any
state makes n distinction against any
class OF voters. to reduce the rrptc-
scnia,icn OF that state In Congress
ptoportionaily.
The last Congress craici the ~.
sionsihiiity which was east upon II.
and In the new rcappor;lonmcnt bill

rcscniation In Congress In proportion
to their population. In the next Con-
;rcs-s. however. the question can no
iongc. b. cvadcd. There will bc "a
demand that the provisions OF the
fourteenth amendment be applied. II
is no: fair that states which cast TO-
CO. or :o.C1D votes In NIL for repre-.
scntntivcs In Congress shall have rs
many representatives n states which
cost 10000 or 100000. Colorado will

The l.rr.id-nt at III ra.o

Pleasing Indeed. and auspicious In
promise OF not only continuance but
a strengthening OF the friendship be.
tween the the two great American
republics, was the interchange OF cour-
tcsies at Ella faso, Monday, on the
part OF President Mckinley and the
representatives OF President Dlnz OF
Mexico. The admiration expressed by
our honorcd chief executive for the
illustrious statesman. who. with such
consummate skill. has guided the foot
steps OF the younger republic along the
OF n higher civilization, was heartily
sincere and thoroughly deserved. The
tribute paid us by President Diaz.
through his eloquent spokesman, was
equally genuine and significant. Only
beneficent results can follow SO felici-
tous an episode.
But. aside from Its evidences OF In
ternational good will, the event was
been made the occasion by President
Mckinley for an official utterance in
which was clearly set forth the posi-
tion OF the administration with refer
ence 10 the imperialism and mill
tarism" buCaboos. Said he. in his
speech: Here we are on the border
line between the United States and
another great republic, and on this
side OF the line we have thirty-fivc
American soldiers and on that side
of the line there are less than $50
Mexican soldiers. So that we are
dwelling in peace and amity, and caus-
ing peace on earth and good will to
men, We want to settle our differ
ences, If we ever have any, with the
powers of the world, by arbitration.
We want to exhaust every peaceable
means for settlement before we 20 to
war; and. while we have authority to
raise 100000 troops, the necessity does
not exist for that number, and we do
not propose to raise but 5000. So
don't be alarmed about militarism and
imperialism. We know no imperial
ism in the United States except the
imperialism of n sovereign people"
Surely, with this declaration before
them, and with the knowledge that ey-
cry recorded act or word for which
President Mckinley and his asso-
ciates are responsible, is of similar
import and in harmony Herewith,
the howlers and unfrierdly critics can
scarcely escape the conviction that
their occupation is gone. At any rate
they are without following. The
people realize and rejoice in the fact
that under no other administration
have they enjoyed in greater degree
the blessings of unity, prosperity and
progress. They may be depended upon
to turn deaf ear toward the malcon-
tents and agitators who would ques-
tion the motives and discredit the Dur-
poses of the loyal chief executive to
whose enlightened craftsmanship and
devoted patriotism our national good
fortune is so largely due. I'VE know
no Imperialism in the United States
