Suffrage in inc Abstract.

Congressman Bowie may be said to be the convention's press agent, and very good one he is, but when he un- dertakes to say that the proposed county registrars, appointed in Mont gomery instead of at home, would not create a life electorate, he is juggling with words and technicalities. The truth is, the registrars would issue a flood of electoral certificates that the holders could utilize to the end of their days, if they are so minded, even if they live out the greater part of the new century, as many of them will do. Under the proposed plan some would obtain life certificates on one ground, some on another, and more still under the sweeping good-character clause, which simply says the registrars may register whom they please. The ap- peal to the courts from their decision reads well on paper, but MT. Bowie knows very we'll that only the cranky rich would be advantaged by it.
 MT. Bowies percentages of soldier and heredity voters are based on no ascertained facts. In Louisiana the poor whites who could not read and write and had no proyerty largely re- fused to confess their illiteracy and poverty by registering under the grand father clause. The poor whites Of Alabama are equally sensitive, and the persuasive and genial congressman from the fourth district may find that he has overstated the soldier and heredity elements of the voting popu- lation. He may be disappointed in the returns of 1902 under the proposed registration sections. This was the case in Louisiana. Many will prefer to register under the good-character clause rather than to confess them selves illiterate and poverty-stricken by registering under the grandfather clause. The Age-Herald is inclined to think 25 per cent a closer estimate of the number that will come in under the good-character clause. Some put the percentage still higher.
 The lawful-occupation clause of the proposed article is but another compli- cation of a scheme that had already been made so complex that few could recall it's numerous provisions. It IS A wholly unnecessary and uncalled-for provision, drawn expressly to suit the Black Belt, which is not content with heavy representation based on dis franchised negroes. The Black Belt should be reasonable. Mir. Bowie re- presents some Black Belt counties, but that is reason why he should prefer an "unideal" plan of suffrage reform. That is no reason why he should pre- fer heredity in suffrage to the plan that Georgia finds ample for all purposes, and Georgia contains more negroes than any other State. Virginia IS about to adopt like plan. Heredity, complexity, and openness to frauds are the chief objections to the plan that Mir. Bowie advocates. He is earnest and sincere, but when a poll tax pro vision would cut out all frauds, and all compIications, and all un-American principles, the Age-Herald is content to stand by the Georgia-Virginia plan rather than by the Bowie-Coleman plan. |

ANTI-LYNcHINe MOVEMENT
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 The southern states seem at ,ast +o have awakened to thorough realization of the disgrace which attaches to the an- plication of lynch law and to have deter mined to put an end to the practice. Only few days ago resolution was intro duced in the Alabama convention looking to that end; and yesterday, in the yir ginia convention, another was introducad even more rigorous in it's nature. If provides that the governor shall offer a reward of $500 for the arrest and con viction of every person who shall engage in the offense: that the crime shall be murder in the first degree where the hanging or lynching is accomplished, and that it shall be the duty of the governor to pay $1.000 to the heirs of any person lynched, the money to come out of the state treasury and be chargeable to the county or city in which the crime was committed. The trouble with this is the same which marks many well-intended efforts at reform-it goes too for and by its own severity will defeat its purpose. Juries will not convict fynchers of mur- der in the first degree, and in this respect the resolution needs amendment But the spirit of 1t Is right. and the conven- tion may be trusted to put 1t into work ing form.

Two "ReIialousv Cartoons.

1.-TWO recent religious cartoons in this country are most appropriate and of most convincing logic," said churchman yes- terday.
 "One of these cartoons represents a long-faced black-coated holier-than-thou 'Sabbatarian' with a big volume of Blue Laws under one arm. and his other arm with claw-like fingers raised in holy horror at the Niagara Falls and the Buff falo fair. The legend Is:
 |" He can't stop these.'
 "The moral Is plain. The 'Sabbatarian' tried to close the Buffalo fair and the high court sent him about his bigoted business He would stop even Niagara from falling on his 'Sawbuth,' but God wills otherwise.
 The other religious cartoon of note represents a great balloon, Religion ris- ing upward and bearing a. number of per- sons, supposed to be preachers. Light Is breaking upon them, above the black clouds named Intolerance that roll be- meath. The preachers are throwing off the black ballast of bigotry,' 'non-enjoy- ment of Sunday and the like, and the moral is:
 "'The more of this rubbish they throw off the higher they will rise.'
 '"rhe cartoonist ought to have figured a bag of ballast labelled No Army Can teen,' for one of the most hurtful forms of intolerance and bigotry Is that which abolished the army canteens and is de- stroying American soldiers by means of private dives of hopeless iniquity.''

Perhaps this Is the very process whereby these crimes of the mob will be finally checked--by the reduction of the lynching principle to a ghastly absurdity. Time was, few years ago, when lynch law stood for the preservation of the home, for a high moral principle The remedy was wrongly chosen and ill-advised. but it nevertheless represented doctrine of public morals. and so far as 1t was thus confined it wHs entitled to some degree Of respect, crime though it was even then. But now the barriers arc burned away by the fierce flames of race hatred, and lynchng is applied in some of the states to black offenders of all degrees. Tn some sections of the south the mob is the paramount factor of public punishment, the criminal courts being mere accessor- les for the trial of white men and petty cases. Judges have no prestige. the law Is a dead letter in Its most important phases and the safeguards against mur- derous injustice are destroyed.
 When this process has run its logical course there will perhaps be a revulsion in public sentiment It is. indeed, already showing signs. Judges here and there are charging grand juries to indict offenders. sheriRs are occasionally standing their ground against mobs and constitutional conventions are giving the subject seri- ous consideration. In Virginia some radi- cal proposals are advancedto remedy the evil, such as the mulcting of the county in which lynching occurs for the benefit of the family of the victim and the im- position of the death penalty upon any participant in lynching. But discussion will not suffice there must be laws. and above all, determined public spirit in support of them.

The miners heard, and for moment
the silence was unbroken. 1t was one
of those moments which prove men to
be equal or wanting to an emergency.
And Stuart in that brief time grew in

ally responsible for his we'll being. The
miners, with their 400 new recruits, be-
gan to march into the square with the
strangers massed in the middle. The
agent of the mine owners, who had
been in mortal terror during all the ex'
element and was actually hiding be-
hind one of the seats in the coach that
brought the troops, now came out on
the platform, cursing the entire situa'
ton. The officer in command grimly
wanted to know what he was going to
do about it.
In reality there was nothing to be
done but to go on with the handful OF
men left The idea of trying to get the
men back now that they were practi.
cally surrounded by the mob was not
pleasant idea to entertain. The agent
satisfied himself of that fact very
speedily. The officers and troops climb.
ed into the coaches again, and the
train started off down the range. A
mighty cheer from the miners went up
as the train disappeared. The whole
event had taken less than 20 minutes.
TO Stuart it seemed like an hour. He

of the wild beast rising in the mob
shouted, make ready" But before he
could add the word "aim" or fire" a
woman suddenly flung herself, as it
seemed, right out of the mob and ran
up directly in front of the leveled guns.
She stood alone in the little space be-
tween the troops and the miners. Stu
art recognized the Salvation Army lead
err of the night before. Her face was
pale, but she was calm, and without
any appearance Of playing a part or do
ing anything unusual or unexpected
she stood there, with the muzzles Of
the guns almost touching her.

made without any resistance on the
part of the miners who were at the end
of the train. While that was going on
Stuart prevailed on the men to bring
back the engine and couple it on to the
train again.

"Eh, but this is sudden, young man."
replied Andrew Burke, rising and COM

The two men shook hands again and
thoroughly understood each other. It
was the Christian fellowship that made
such swift friendship possible. On any
other basis these two men would have
saved each the life of the other every
day and Mustered" each other to a
gray old age.
But events in the outer world were
hurrying on fast, and Stuart could not
avoid feeling of anxiety concerning
the train due at noon with the new
men and the troops. Already the min
ers were gathering in the square. Look
ing out of the hotel window, the two
men could see that the miners We're

So it happened that these two stood
close by the depot when the noon train
came in and saw the whole scene,
which no man present that day ever
forgot.
The train came in slowly, and the
miners watched it in sullen silence.
The first two coaches were filled with
troops. The rest of the cars, six in all,
contained the new men.
1t was not known until long after
ward Just how the events of that day
were planned and carried out, but be-
fore the engineer or fireman could offer
any resistance, even if they had
thought of such a thing, they were
pulled down out of the cab and in a
twinSling the tender was uncoupled
from the coaches and two Of the min
ers who understood the working of the
engine started it forward and switched
it off the main track upon one of the
tracks built by the side of the ore
shoots.
Meanwhile the miners at the rear Of
the train began to call out to the men
in the coaches to get out and show
themselves.
1--WE wants to see the brave men who
have come up to take bread out Of
us mouths!' "Show yourselves! Come
out and have a taste of clubw
While this was going on at the rear
the officer of the troops, seeing what
had happened to the engine, promptly
ordered his men out of the coaches and
formed across the track and by the side
of the rear coaches to defend the men
within.
The commanding officer was young
man of handsome appearance, and he
hseemed cool and determined. AS the
troops took their position the crowd
gave back little, leaving a space Of
berhaps 20 feet between the line and
the crowd.
1t was a critical moment and needed
only one act of violence to precipitate
crisis. And that one act was forth
coming. AS the officer turned to give
command drunken man threw a mass
of ore with murderous strength right
into his face, and he fell to the ground
with the blood scattering the uniform
of the man nearest him.

When the greatest Of modern physi-

somnia, rheumatism, diseases of the
kidneys, regained their health, and
strength, and buoyancy by the we'll
advised use of Paines celery COM
pound. AS a great leader and writer
in Boston publicly declared one day.
Paine's celery compound had proven
itself to be as much better than all
the ordinary nervines, sarsaparllas,
and trade preparations as the diamond
is brighter than ordinary glass.
From thousands of grateful persons
unsolicited testimonials began to pour
in from those whom Paine's celery
compound had benefited. The wealthy
and the poor, the famous and the
comparatively unknown, sent to the
proprietors of the remedy, to the news
papers, to their physicians, to their
friends, the glad news that here at
last they had found remedy that
made them themselves again!
And the foolish fellows with their
silly nostrums, starting up here and
there every year, discovered as often
as they tried it that, when a person s
health is at stake, he or she will not
be imposed upon. Paine's celery COM
pound was in greater demand last year
than the year before; the demand this
spring is greater than for all the So
called spring remedies combined. Peo-

strong, repairs their shattered
strength. They call for Paine's celery
