The Ginger Party.

Thc 0tuBer TuTty.
 More than a month ago THE OASIS noted that party of prospectors from O0lossdo Springs, Colorado, had entered Sonora at Naco, and were going down through the mining re. gions of the state, looking for mining properties. Recently the. .editorrmet someiof the party aat La Concentra- cion, down the Yaqui river, east from Ortiz, and learned some particulars of it's personnel and intentions. The party is as follows: Colonel Lew Ginger, president; Fl .F. Terry, man. ager; FrankSNeimer and E. c. Eos ter, experts; J. w Hubbard, J. N. Cleaver, F. Williams, James H. Brent, s. w. Smith, miners. MT. Brent joined the patty at Hermosillo, and is giving the members the benefit of his own extensive Knowledge of the-mining regions of Sonora, acquir. ed by twenty years experience in the state.
 The party is finely outtitted for prospecting, having a fully appointed camp sequipsge, large train of pack mules, portable assay furnaces, scales, balances, chemicals, etc--everything requisite to making most complete aud thorough tests of all ores; and two are accomplished metallurgists and mining engineers, while all are gen. tlemen of long practical experience in mining. They are looking for good mining properties, with an in- tention of working them thoroughly and extensively when found, as they represent heavy capital, which can successfully conduct operations. At presen t they are Investigating some placer ground on the Yaqui, near Cumaripa, in the Guaymas district, and are also testing some copper de- posits in the same vicinity. Those of the party met by THE OASIS man, Messrs sTerry, Weimer and Brent, were en route to San Xavier, near La BarraDca, to investigate the 'antiguo" mines formerly worked at that place.

taxation, but made no provision against the creation of debt over and beyond the resources of the county or muni- cipaiity. Consequently, improvident and interruptions officers have been able to impair the credit and fasten load of debt upon cities and counties in different portions of the State, which has involved many of them in litiga- ton and bankruptcy Some just pro- the power to create debt beyond the reasonable ability of the county or municipality to pay.
 Education.
 Then. again, there is the great ques- tion of education which so vitally touches the interests of our people. I believe we should keep faithfully the pledges we have given not to, increase taxation. but this should not deter us from making every effort to rid our State of the disgrace of its illiteracy. As pr. Curry forcibly puts it, it will not do to say you are too poor to edu- cate the people-you are too poor not to educate them.
 Nothing has so retarded the rapid growth and development of our State as the absence of a well regulated sys- tenn of public schools, so as to place within the reach of every child in the State, beth rich and poor, the means of obtaining. free of tuition fees such instruction as will qualify him for the responsible duties of life.
 The productive power of labor in Massachusetts is said to be nearly double that of the average for each inhs bitant of the whole United States, and the reason assigned is the superior educational advantages she furnishes to her people.
 You cannot expect skilled labor to enter our State. if by doing so their children are--to be denied the means of a common school education. We must fight ignorance as We would fight malaria fer t is only by educc ting its people that a State can gain and main tain a proud position among the ma. tions of the earth.
 It has been urged in some quarters as reason why this movement for a new Constitution should be defeated that we propose to adopt a suffrage plank which will of- fer to the negro an incentive to ob- tain an education, while the child of the white man will be without d like stimulus. beraQse protected in his right to vote without regard to the density of his ignorance
 I do not understand that any dele gate to this Convention is pledged to any such legislation. We are pledged mot to deprive any white man of the right to vote" but this does not ex- tend unless this Convention chooses to extend it beyond the life of voters now living. It is a question worthy of careful consideration. whether we would be warranted in pursuing any course which would have a tendency to condemn any part of our popula- tion to a condition of perpetual illit- eracy.

 Io Wan Valkenberg vs. Brown Q3 Am. Rpts., 142), speaking of the hmlta- tion imposed upon the States by the recent amendments to the Federal Constitution, the Supreme Court or California says, "The mere power or tbe State to determine the class Of in habitants who may vote within her linn lie was not curtailed by the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fifteenth Amend ment took away her power to discrlm, mate against citizens of the Onlteo States on account of either race, color ar preyious condition of servitude, but the power of exclusion upon all othei grounds remain intact.
 Practically to the same effect Is the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Minor vs. Happen sett. 21 Wall 162.
 The principle of inherited capacity is even by the inspired Apos- file for you remember that Paul, in his epistle to young Timothy, whom he was preparing to preach the glorious Gospel. refers to it even in the matter of faith, for he says: Il am persuaoed that the unfeigned faith which dwelt in thy grandmother Lois and in thy mother Eunice dwells also in thee.
 The great work before this Conven- tion will be to study and carefully-con- slider this question. It Is for this pur- nose that so many of the wise and conservative men of the State, includ- ing many of the ablest representatives of the bar. have been asked. for the time. to lay aside their business and the duties of an exacting profession, and consecrate to the service or the State all the talent, experience and ability they possess. l am not pre- Dared to say whether or not this Con- vention will approve the form of relief which has been adopted in our sister States but l feel confident that there is intelligence and ability enough here to settle this question to the sltisfac- tion of our people. We have inauSu- rated the movement and We must sue ceed, and 1 confidently believe we will succeed. It is not to be expected that a reform movement like thls Will meel with universal approval. but when your finished work is submitted, and you present, as 1 believe you will. a prac tical solution of the evil conditions un- der which We now live, it will be ap- preciated and accepted by our people.
 Authority to Fund the State Debt.
 There are other questions which might be considered, but to which I shall be able to give only passing mo- tice. In view of the fact that a large
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-05-23

pnrt of the states bonded indebf< <dneaq will room mature, It is important and nece4sary that some provision should be made for funding the indebtedness of the State. Very able lawyarn have doubted if there be any authority in the State. under the present Constitu- tion to fund the States indebtedness. At the time of the adoption of the pres ent Constitution. the creation of debt on the part of the State, county and municipal authorities, had been abused to such an extent as to cause great alarm. and 50 the framers of the present Constitution, in their anxiety to curtail this evil seem not to have provided as fully as might be for the payment or the funding of the States indebtedness by the issuance of new bonds or obligations. The provisions of the present Constitution on this sub- ject is as follows:
 After the ratification of this Con- stitution, no debt shall be created against, or incurred by this State or or suppress insurrection, and then only by concurrence of two-thirds of the members of each House of the General Assembly. and the vote shall be taken by yeas and nays and entered on the tournals and any act creating or in curing any new debt against this State except as herein provided for, shall be absolutely void; Provided, the Governor may be authorized to nego- tiate temporary loans never to exceed sl00, 900. to meet deficiencies in the Treasury; and rtil the same is paid, no new loan shall be negotiated; Pro- yided, further, that this section shall not be construed as to prevent the is- suance of bonds in adjustment of ex- isting State indebtedness"
 The power to settle the States then existing indebtedness has been exer- cised under the debt settlement acts, and a doubt has been raised whether, under the restrictive terms of the pres ent Constitution. there be any power to issue new bonds to pay or fund the debt at its maturity.
 There can be no doubt but that the State debt, under present conditions, can be funded at a greatly reduced rate of interest, and at such a rate as will save the State largely more than the cost of the holding of this Conven- ton.
 Municipal and County Indebtedness.
 Then again, there is the question of the authority of county and municipal governments to create debts totally be- yond the resources which must be looked to to provide payment. The framers of the present Constitution carefully stipulated maximum rate of

 Mir. Smith (Mobile)-I move the adoption of the resolution.
 Seconded.
 MT. Jones (Montgomcry)-I move to strike out the last part of the resolu- tion. We do not know what the rules of the House of Representatives are. They will get us in a tangle, and this Committee will report in a day and think it will be better for the Conven- tion to be governed by general par.ia- mentary law. instead of the rlethod proposed by the resolution.
 MT. Smith-I accept the motion to strike out the last portion of the res- olution.
 The President-Those in favor of the adoption of the resolution as offered by the gentleman of Mobile as amend ed. will please say aye.
 The resolution was adopted unani- mously.
 MT. Browne-I desire to offer res olution.
 The Secretary read the resolution: Resolved that until the report of the Committee on Rules. all resolutions shall be referred without debate to proper committees when raised.
 DnnGfAAnk will be some minor resolutions and motions which will be necessary to be passed without being referred. But, in every such instance the party making the motion. or offering the resolution. can move to suspend the rules and pass the resolution at once, such as a resolution providing for the seating of members, etc. ] therefore move the adoption of the resolution.
 Motion seconded. and carried unani- mously.
 Mir. Heflin (Chambe-s)-Mr Presl- dent, I move that committee of nine. one from each Congressional District, be appointed un the arrangement of scots and the seating of the delegates.
 The President--It is moved that q committee of one from each Congres- sional District be appointed for seat ing the delegates.
 MT. Blackwell--I move as a substi- tute the following resolution in re- gard to seating.
 The Secretary read the resolution: Resolved that in order to equitably assign the delegates seats in this Con vention. that the names of all Iele- gates he placed in a hat. and that one of the pages be blndfolded and draw out one at time the names from the hat, and that the Secretary immedl- ately read the name SO drawn, and that the party whose name is read at once select his seat. and after all seats arc so drawn. delegates shall have the right to exchange seats, If they so de- sire"

msmbers afs prone." And ln the 1Hfl- Son case the Supreme Court 0f the United States referring to that raid that the Convention had swept tie field of expedients to obstrust the ex- ercise of suffrage by the negro race, but that they were permissible cx- pedients.
 As stated by Judge Cooley. the right of suffrage Is not a natural right, be- cause 1t exists where it is allowed to be exercised only for the good Of the State-to say that those whose par ticipation in the affairs of the State would endanger and imperil the sood of the State have. nevertheless. the right to participate. is not only folly in itself. but 1t is to set the individual above the State.
 The Rights of Suffrage in Massa- chusetts.
 The election laws in Massachusetts contain substantially the same Iro- visions as are embodied in the Consti- tutions of Louisiana and North Caro- lima just referred to. The election law of that State, as it stands today, pro- vides that the voter must be able to read the Constitution of the Common wealth in the English language, and to write his name. except that mo person who is prevented from reading and writing as aforesaid, by physical dis ability, or who had the right to vote on the first day of May in the year 1857, shall, If otherwise qualified, be deprived of the right to vote by req son of not being able so to read or write"
 While it Is true that the provisions of this law do not extend to the de- scendants of the voter, yet it does not seem that on that account the principle involved would be affected.
 The exception in the Massachusetts law was, no doubt, directed against H. literate and incompetent immigrants. whereas the provisions in the Consti- tutions of Louisiana and North Caro- lima were directed against illiterate and incompetent negroes, as well as foreign CTS.
 But it is beyond the province of courts, 1t is claimed, to inquire into the motives of the law making power; their function is confined to ascertain ing the meaning and effect of the law drawn in question. These views have been elaborated and ably defended by Mir. Semmes of Louisiana and by MT. Rountree and Senator Simmons of North Carolina. from whose ably argu- ments I have greatly profited.
 They find strong support in the opin- ion of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the Mississippi case. where. it
