THE SECRET OUT AT LAST.

The Constitutional Convention has
taken a recess, but gave permission 70
the Suffrage Committee to keep at
work.
The report of the Committee of which
Mr.. Withers is chairman, reducing the
number of judicial circuits, abolishing
the county court, etc, was the first def
mite information which the people of the
State received as to the purposes of the
Convention.
The report was referred to the Com
mittee on the Judiciary and when it
comes from that '/ody, it is presumed
that it will be so disfigured that it's most
intimate friend win not recognize it.
Nevertheless, the colored people of the
State will now understand that the suf-
frage question was sprung to divert at
tention from the main issue, that of cut
ting off alleged useless office-holders,
and the reduction of alleged unnecessary
expenses.
We have never seen the need Of any
particular uneasiness on the part of our
people relative to the cutting off our
right to vote. That right is already
fiagrantly denied us, and we are as un-
tremendously DISTINGUISHED in VIRGIN
IA, as though we were blanket Indian
upon reservation in Indian Territory.
1t is the VIII te man who will be most
injured when the compaign is ended,
and the list of casualties reported at the
headquarters of the people.
So long as the 14th & 10Th Amendments
to the Constitution of the United States
remain upon the statute books, we care
little for the proscriptive provisions en-
grated upon the constitution Of the sew
eral states.
The time will come when God will
raise up expounders of the law in our Su-
preme Courts who will have the manli-
ness to speak the truth and render decis.
ions in cordance with justice.
The temporary expedients to disfran.
chise Us viii be brushed aside as are cob
webs by a housemaid welding with
! sl1illfulness the handle of a new broom
We must and shall wait for that time,
believing that, Justice may sleep, but
never dies"
Wrong fiourishes for a little while; but
right, like God is eternal.

An Expensive Garment.

A rather humorous story comes from
 Williams this week, which shows how easy it is for men to get into trouble. Some months ago merchant of that place sold to a professional man of the same garment to protect him from the cold, mud and snow. The article of dress was bought or credit, which which was understood by the purchaser to be long and by the purchaser to be a short time. This understanding led to distant feeling between them. and as the time went along into the new century the merchant grew more exacting in his demands for payment, and desire to get e,en with his pro- fessiOnal pttron ppSse ssed him, and he awaited convenient opportunity to put his ideas in practical use.

Professor McGoo Says tho
 dians arc Beine Extermii

Prof. McGee of the bureau of eth nology has just returned from his an nual exploration in the the southwest, where, near the mouth of the Colorado river in southwestern Arizona, he found the remnant of Il irihe of Indians who he says have practically extermi- mated themselves, says the Chicago Record. They are called the CocOpab tribe and are dying from the adoption of trousers and undershirts. They live in the bottom lands of the Colo rado river, just above the point where the fresh water of that stream is pol luied by the salt tide from he gulf. They are an interesting people. from the fact that they are the lowest, most primitive and thoroughly degraded of all the tribes in he son Invest They carry on their farming as it is done in the overflow region of the Nile.
 The flood waters of the Colorado clear their fields in ihe spring by washing off the native grasses and fertilizing them by a deposit of silt. They scratch the mud with sharpened sticks and put in corn, two varieties of beans, and squashes. They are seven- ty-fve miles from Yuma, where they go to taste the luxuries of civilization. and where the trousers habit caught them in its dread embrace. Either from esthetic or prudential reasons, these guileless savages adopted trOus. CTS when they were in town. Going back to their settlements on the river, they continued 10 wear them, and added the enervating luxurysd an uns dershirt. This was bad enough, for trousers are not good for the untntored savage, but the Cocopahs went further and denied themselves even food for the sake of buying civilized garments. the family puts ,5 OF 100 pounds of corn into couple of small sacks and makes the seventy-iive mile journey to Yuma There his corn is sold for about $l 50. which is fully 90 cents un- der the market value, and he invests the proceeds in shirts and overalls for himself and calico for his wives.
 Prof. McGee says that the Indians have been actually starving them. selves to buy clothes. This saps their vitality and leaves them more open to the attacks of disease, from which they are rapidly perishing.
