The good news comes from Helena

COLORED MEN IN THE SOUTH.

Mr.. White, the colored congressman

suit. needless to say, was brought
about by the disfranchisement of the
negroes who now without a
representative of their race in congress.
1t is likely to be d considerable time
before another colored man is heard in
congress, but Mr.. White, in farewell
speech the other day, told some plain
truths that will long be remembered.
Among other things he said:
Here's the plain letter of the consti

PROBLEM OF DIFFERENTIATION.

The recommendation of the special
committee of the National Civil service
Reform league with reference to super
annuation in the service is certainly a
novel one. and the regulations or the
men whe make it, Richard II. DANA
William u. Foull>e and Silas w. Burt
entitle ii to careful consideration.
These gentlemen have grapp!ed with
the problem of providing for superannu-
ated employees of the government. The
solution decided upon by the gentlemen
is embodied in the following recon-
mendations;
Your committee unanimously recon-
mend as the best remedy for superannu-
alton a system requiring life insurance

employees during probation, as a pre-
requisite To final appointments. the

In fusion circles there has been deal

eight hour law with a clause that there

Whether it be attributable to prejudice

of John r. Toole towards the eight hour
bill. Than Mr.. Toole the eight hour sys-
tenn has had no more sincere and con-

lie speech, he has spoken in it's advo-
cacy, and every one knows it who
knows him. What he stood up for In
the house of representa- ves was that
the law should be fair, honest and rea-
sonable. He gave good and sufficient
reasons why the law should not be i'm
mediately effective. and although a ma
jority of the house would not listen to
him. the senate recognized the force of
his argument and amended the bill ac-
cordingly: and in finally concurring In

MAKING IN CUBA.

The real work of the Cuban cOnyen-
ton is now before that body, the COM
mittee having completed its draft of the
constitution. The document is about
what has been expected. and contem-
plates sovereign and independent ma
ton. The preamble. and The first Sec
ton, which provides for the form of
government. already have been adopted
without change in the former. and very
little in the latter. The efforts of the
atheists of cuba. who objected to the
invocation to God in the preamble. have
been overthroWn. and the preamble
stands as originally planned. 1t was
argued that all the South American re-
pubics and the United States invoke
God on prominent occasions, and that
Cuba does not expect to be any more
free than the United States. AS Nigh:
be expected, the manana habit is still
adhered to by many of the delegates.
and there is considerable delay by long
debates which some of the delegates,
who are learning American ways. con-
slider quite unnecessary. .a's
The second section, which deals with
citizenship as was anticipated. caused
much sharp debate. especially the clause
which states that those foreigners who
have belonged to the liberating army
and who. residing in Cuba. claim Cuban
citizenship. The paragraph, ii
is said. was intended in the interest of
Gen. Maxine Gomez. who is very gen
orally favored as candidate for tl~
hrst president OF the republic. General
Gomez was born in San Domingo: but
there is no question of his loyalty to
Cuba and the Cubans. he having taken
leading part IN the two recent wars
of the island. 1t was proposed to make
the section even mare comprehensive by
recognizing as citizens all who partici-
rated in the revolution. whether they
claimed citizenship or NOT. but this was
opposed by one member. Who said that
in such a case President Mckinney would
be citizen. as he aided the revolution
enormously"
The convention SO far has in two days
discussed and disposed OF TWO sections
of the constitution, and as there are

twenty-five sections 1t will be necessary
to hurry action somewhat il the docu-
ment is to be presented to congress
early in February. as has been prom sed;
but 1t is not likely that there will be
as much delay on other questions as
there was on the citizenship question,
for this is one that has long agitated
the Cuban politicians. Another question
which will interest them is the section
defining the qualifications necessary for
a president. which is also evidently in
the interest of General Gomez ii pro-
VideS that he must be "a Cuban citizen,
by birth or naturalization. and in The
latter case he must have served with
the Cuban army in its wars for indie
pendence ten years at least. ~
This. of course. Gomez has done. and
his friends are believed strong enough
to carry through any provision that may
be necessary to elect him as the first
president.
In general the constitution as pre-
pared is very much like the fundamental
laws of this country. differences being
made only as local conditions make
them necessary. The president and vice.
president are elected by direct vote. an
absolute majority being required, and
cannot servem ore than two consecutive
terms. \ section evidently intended TO
prevent payment of old claims provides
that the recognition of debts is limited

yet in the denunciation of her antics

one thing is largely overlooked. Many
seem to suppose that in attempting to
suppress the liquor traffic in Kansas

violates the law, invades business
houses that exist under the law, that
are licensed and duly legalized. Such is
not the case. Every one of the joints
in Kansas exist in direct and fiagrant
violation of one of these weird laws
for which Kansas is famous. This Vi
raginous crusader is, in reality, violat-

the repeal of an act which, it seems
