CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The long contest over the suffrage
plan 10 the democratic conference came
TO an end yesterday when by vote OF 46
to II the conference decided to report
what is known as the Glass plan, with
numerous amendments. to the Consti-
tutional convention next Monday. Mr.
Glass and Senator Daniel were named
as a committee to put the plan in shape
and submit ii 10 the convention. The
committee then adjourned sine die.
The suffrage plan agreed to provides for
an understanding" clause after 1904.
The prepayment of the poll tax for
three years preceding the election is re-
quired. For both Of these provisions
soldiers, Federal and Confederate, and
their sons are exempted. After 1904
the voter must make application in hia
own handwriting for registration and
prepare his own ballot uDaided. Per-
sons who pay taxes on $3.50 worth oil
property are exempt from these require
ments. The educational and the prop
erty qualifications provided after 1904
will possibly permit as many as 40 900
negroes ID vots and disquslify many
thousands OF whites.
The conference adopted a section,
which Senator Daniel strongly opposed,
providing that no person can vote In a
legalizsd primary who Is not qualified
under the suffrage article to participate
in the next succeeding general election.
Mel. Anderson offered an indepen-
dent section designed to secure purity
10 elections and it was adopted. 1t is
ss follows: "The general assembly
shall enact such laws Is are necessary
and proper for the purpose OF securing
the regularity and purity OF general
and primary elections and pre-.
venting and Furnishing any corrupt
practices in connection Herewith, and
shall have power, in addition to other
penalties and punishments now or here
after prescribed by law for such Of
fenses, to provide that persons convicted
OF them shall lose the right 10 vote and
hold office.
The days OF the Constitutional Con-
vention will DOW be few, aud the meet
log today was OF merely perfunctory
character.
The declared purpose OF the conven-
ton when it was cslled-to secure the
vote OF every white man and to dis
franchise as far as possible the negro
vote--will be accomplished by tle
measure. The temporary understand
ing clause for two years will permit
the registration of all classes OF whites
and give opportunity to shut the negro
out, After that 1t is expected the poll
tax and educational qualification will
keep out thereafter oil vicious and
illiterate vote, at least.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAR. 90 1902

In THE House Of Representatives on
Thursday when Mr.. Richardson offered
q resolution to investigate the Danish
West Indies scandal. which resolution
il would be natural to infer no honest
men would oppose, as the honor OF
eVery member had been brought into
question, Mr.. Cannon (he OF the
mouth) and some other republicans
tried their best to postpone action in
the matter, giving the fllmsiest reasons
for doing so and placing themselves In an
eauivocal position. They cannot comp
lain If their reasons for attempting to
smother the inquiry are misconstrued.
They made such protests against the
investigation as might have been ex'
psct cd from those who had reason to de-
sire suppression of the facts. Mr..
Underwood, one of the brightest men
on the democratic side, was amazed at
the stand taken by the republicans and
in answer said:
l do not think, from what the gentle
man from Illinois has said, that he ad.
dresses his remarks to the true grava'
men of this situation. 1 may be old
fashioned 10 my ideas, but l believe
nv country's honor ought to stAnd
above everything else. Now, 1t is not
merely 90 individuals honor that Is st
stake in this matter; that would be
small consideration as compared with
the honor of our country. That is the
question OF stake here; that is the true
question that ia TO come for trial before
this House. Are we to say
that because this man who made the
charge that he used 100000 with
members OF Congress for corrupt pur-
poses, is a knave, that he has no
character, that we are above reproach
aud stand there 10 that position before
the nations OF the world? II that is
the position the American Congress is
ID take when our couOtry's honor is
involved, then / say that the day OF
our degradation is not far distant.
But his appeal was lost on many Of
the members who, like some others,
now act on the principle that as honor
does not buy breakfast 1t is useless to
entertain any such sentiment.
