The Negro as a Citizen.

In discussing the Virginia constitution
and the Lily White" movement in the
south it is best to stick to the text. Moth
ing is gained by Juggling in side issues or
reviving old issues. The difficulty is great
enough as it stands naked before the coun-
try.
1t is useless TO deny that the new suffrage
laws in several of the southern states were
framed for the express purpose of closing
the polls to the negroes. That was the de-
sign, and tnat has been the effect. An edu-
Gated electorate was not the object. The
ignorant white man was protected at every
stage of the proceedings. Had there been
no discrimination on this score the action
taken would not have been repugnant to
the Constitution of the United States. That
it is repugnant to that instrument in spirit
at least. is plain enough. That many of
the negroes in the south are untitled for the
suffrage is not open to dispute. But, unfor-
tunately. it Is also true that in legisiating
against them the dominant party down there
encourages a prejudice against the race in
general with the result that any worthy
negroes are denied the rights to which al
industrious, law-abiding citizens, they are
entitled.
Not content with stigmatizing the negro
as unworthy OF CitizeuSulp, SoHie VI his
tractors go further and assert that he is
lapsing into barbarism. A picture is drawn
of the black man in. slavery, and then an
other of the black man after nearly forty
years of freedom. The slave is accredited
with all the ENTHUSIASTICALLY, affection, pa,
thence and industry. The free man is
charged with all the vices-laziness, dishon-
esty, thrftIessness and drunkenness. Let
those who will be influenced by that foolish
treatment of the subject. Conditions in the
south have changed for everybody. The
black man of the best grade is not rarer
than the white man of the best grade. AS
a matter of fact neither is rare. Where
the white man, who Is the born leader. is
still at his best the black man. who has
always initiated him, Is still at bis best.
But even If it were true that slavery begot
all the virtues, slavery is dead and gone
The black man will never again wear his
old -shackles, and must be taken in the ac-
count a free man in a free country.
Shall he be assisted and encouraged In any
effort he may make to better his condition
and render a good account of himself to
the country? Or shall he be turned over
to the tender mercies OF machne politicians,
who are ready to use him or abuse him as
their own selfish interests may be served?

A Return to Sanity.
From the Fhiiadeiphia Press.

From the hafadelphta Press.
The decision OF the trades assembly of
schenectady to declare of the boycott
placed on the street railway company of
that city Is reassuring proof Of returning
sanity 1t failed to meet with public APP
prevail or the approval Of the faboring men
themselves. and consequently was failure
from the start. The decision to call 1t off
is only recognition OF the mistake made
at the beginning.
The Schenectady outcome leads to the
hope that more Intelligent and sagacieus
policy will rule in the future. If labor is to
be elevated, and every right-thinking man
wishes to see it elevated, 1t must square it
self with public opinion. And it cannot so
square itself by allowing narrow and petu-
liant spirit to govern its actions. 1t must
pursue broad and rational policy. If the
Schenectady decision to end an unjust and
uncalled for boycott is proof that such a
policy Is to prevail In the future the task
of aiding in the elevation of labo,, will he
rendered much easier

TERMINATING FOOD.

Poisons engendered by food ferrnent- ing in a dyspeptic stomach are the di- rect cause of rheuma tism, gout liver and kidney complaints, asthma, and many nervous ailments
 These results are prevented by the use of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, a remedy discovered and prepared by Mother Seigel. It is in itself food and has power to digest other food taken with it. Seigel's Syrup is just such a preparation, and a single bottle will convince you of it's value Thus it rests the disesased stomach and finally mas ters the worst cases of dyspepsia. It acts promptly and fresh strength and increase of weight soon follow. The first dose, taken immediately after eat ing, abates the pain and distress so dreaded by dyspeptics. Sold at drug gists.
 Four years ago while in my old home in England, suffered from Ner- vous Dyspepsia and all it's tributaries. After spending sums of money and suf- fering untold misery I was induced to try Mother Selgers Syrup. God bless the day, for it cured me and it will cure any one who will give it fair trial.''

 MARY RAPNFS DAY

Passed away into the higher life in the early morning of Sunday, June 8, Mary Barnes Day
 Mary Barnes was born in Southing- ton. She came from such stock as the early New England settlers were made of. Her father, Julius Steele Barnes, was born in the town of Holland, and was a graduate of Yale college of the class of 1915. He received his degree in medicine from Yale in 1918, For fifty years he was the faithful physician of the town, honpred by all, gentleman of the old school, who reared large family when drives were long and fees were small.
 Her mother. Laura Lewis, was born in Southington. Of this union Mary was the fourth child in a family of nine. She married Rev Guy Bigelow Day, who was at that time principal of the Lewis Academy of Southington. MT. Day was a graduate of Yale, class of 1S45. Six children were born to them, of whom only two, son and daugh- ter, survive. Mrs. Day was q woman of fine personal appearance, dignity Of manner. pleasing voice. of good mental attainments and of spiritual character, As domestic head of large boarding school, the Golden Hill Institute where were many young men and boys, she never allowed any occasion to pass to influence them for good, and many men living to- day are thankful to her for kindly words sookn.
 Perhaps her chief characteristic was her purity of heart. She never had an i'll thought for any one. Her evenness of temper, her kindness to everybody, her manifold good works and her desire for righteousness in the hearts and minds of men give evidence of this
 In 1855, she, with her husband, uni- ted with the First Congregational church of this city, of which church Mr. Day was deacon from 1874 until his death, June ', 1891. She has followed the final summons undismayed and un- disturbed, not mindful whether the Lord of the house should come at even or at midnight, or at cock-croWing or i'll the morning g.-Bridgeport Farmer.
