Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1901-07-05

Our State Convention is wrestling
with the suffrage question. This is
the knotty question, the question
which is all absorbing. There is one
thing that has been fully demonstrate
ed and that is, that there is no ami
mostly toward the negro as such, but
there is a determination to make igno-
rance and vice bar to the exercise of
this high privilege. 1t is certain that
an uneducated person will have diff
Guilty in voting though he may try,
but it is also certain that persons who
pay no taxes will be xcluded-these
cannot get into the booths. We are
glad the prejudice against the negro
which our Northern friends have so
persistently declared was the object of
the convention, has not materialiZed.
This feeling we know did not inspire
the con5 ention, it was never held for
the purpose of getting rid Of the negro.
and now that such is apparent we
hope the Lodges and the Crumpackers
may find time for some other than
force bills, and depriving the State of
her proper representation though they
will die hard, they realizing that to
damn the south, is the safest guy to
their political masts.

WHEN HE BECOMES GOVERNOR.

MI. J. Hampton Hoge, who is about
to start on the long and tortuous jour-
ney to the gubernatorial mansion, has
been reminded often of a journey he
once started upon as U. s. Consul,
and before he got his foot off the soil
of the United States be was recalled
by certain Grover Cleveland. Some
friends of the erstwhile Consul say that
1t is mean and low bred to remind Mr..
Hoge of the many, many things that
transpired In that short experience,
others say that but for the seemingly
unpropitious trip he made to Califor-
mia be would still be groveling in the
mire of Democracy, and contend that
Mr.. Hoge treasures every happening
Of those days as miser treasures his
gold. He Is said to have hanging
somewhere either Oh the walls of his
house or his mind, pictures of various
places of public resort on the Pacific
slope. He no doubt has the
original beer glasses and wine
glasses, which like the flowing
bowl, entered into the merry
making of that festive occasion. He
has preserved also the original tele-
gram which caused him to see the light
of the Republican heaven, signed
"Grover Cleveland" These will look
well in the mansion in Richmond, as
he points with pride to their usefulness.

rank, now falls upon the shoulders of
Representative James D. Richardson, of
Tennessee. He succeeds to the exalted
Office of Sovereign Grand Commander
ot the Southern Jurisdiction of the An
clent and Accepted Scottish Rite of
Freemasonry. The office was recently
left vacant by the death of Thomas H.
Caswell, of San Francisco. Mr.. Rich

while executing the functions of his Of

erous salary. When he travels upon Of
ficial missions his expenses will be paid.
At the same time he Will be permitted
to retain his seat in congress. Mr.. Rich
ardson becomes the ranking Mason of
the world by virtue of two facts-frst,
that the Scottish Rife confers the high
est Masonic degree, the Thirty third sec

or "mother" supreme council of that or
der. Thus he can claim Masonic SUPER

he will draw a salary of $4,000 year

gregate for him the same allowance pre-
scribed for the speaker of the house. Mr..
Richardson has aspired to the speaker

leader on the floor of congress. While
serving both as sovereign grand com
man der and as representative, he will be

The "Mafia' is one of the most Gu
| rious and regrettable features of mod
ern Sicilian life. and is a source of
constant anxiety to the Italian gov
ernment, and of absorbing interest to
all foreigners visiting the island.
Much has already been written on the
subject. and many more or less fan
tastic theories as to its causes and
character have been put forward. But
great deal of light has been shed on
this social phenomenon by recently
published book called La Malta e /
Mafiosi" (Palmero), by Signor A. Cut
rera. The author has for many years
been chief of police at Palmero, and
has consequently had unrivaled op-
portun!ties of studying the inner work
ings of the organization. The origin
of the Malta is by no means ancient.
1t dates back no further than the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century. The
causes to which it is due are probably
the centuries of misgovernment to
which Sicily has been subjected. and
above all. to the infamous police sys-
tens of the Bourbons. The Sicilian
has acquired in consequence an inborn
hatred of all government, and he re-
CARDS any interference of the authori-
ties in his private affairs with jeal-
ousy and distrust. His character is
the exaggeration of individuality. All
private differences should be settled
privately, either in fair fight or by
murder: no man is in his eyes so vile
as he who calls in the help of the au-
thorities for any purpose whatsoever.
He is no man of honor" but a
"cascittuni" (spy). The highest vir-
tue in Sicily is 'onesta," which is
possessed by those who never in any
way help the authorities by giving in
formation about crimes of which they
know something, even If they them
selves are the victims. This feeling
is so strong that man who has been
badly wounded in fair fight or by
treachery, If questioned by the police
as to who committed the deed will de-
ny all knowledge of it. If be should
recover he will revenge himself. but he
will never turn informer. IF | live
/ shall kill you, II l die forgive you"
runs Sicilian proverb. For "onesta"
a man must go to prison, he must suf-
fer every hardship rather than
peach" This feeling is the burden
of many a Sicilian popular song and
legend. The Malta is unlike any other
known institution. 1t is not n secret
society, political or otherwise; it has
no fixed rules or statutes; its objects
are not necessarily criminal. 1t is a
