Supreme Court to Decide.

The United States Supreme Court
has Just granetd a motion fot an early
hearing in the case of Jackson w. JileS
against the board of registra
ton IF Montgomery ! county,
Ala, involving the question whether
the suffrage divisions of the new con
stitution of the state of Alabama, is re
pugnant in the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution of
the United States. Jiles, who IS a ne
gro and resides in Montgomery coun
~, alleges that the board refused to
register him and 5000 others OF his
race on account of their color, while
certificates were issued to all white men
who made application. This he says.
was done to prevent the members of
his race exercising the right OF fran

tian ofiurisdicliani is the principal point
involved in ihe case and there VIII be
no oral argument, the case being pre-

the water in the air-tight boats has
been proved by recent exploits Of the
Fulton. The boat was sent to the bot
tom of the sea and held there over
night, four persons being locked with
in its iron hull. They were supplied
with great tanks of compressed air,
to be turned loose when needed, but
the men all declared that they did not
turn on any compressed air whatever,
and that they experienced no Ill et-
feets from the close confinement. They
PLAYED cards and read books at the
bottom of the sea for IS hours, and
came up perfectly astonished to find
that a terrific storm was dashing the
white caps over them.
The submarine boat is nine-tenths
submerged even when "aAoat." This
means that while it is travelling under
naphtha motor power for cruising it
shows but a small speck Of its cigar
shaped hull. Barely enough room IS
left on top above water for its crew
to stand upon a little table-like plat
form on its back around the conAing
tower. When il starts about the busi-
ness il was fashioned TO perform, the
crew retireS to the inside of the boat
through the coming tower or man
hole on its back, first trimming" it
for the dive.
Every opening is closed air-tight
and the man who stands at the pilot
turns a big lever which allows water
to rush into a huge tank under the
boat set aside for this purpose. The
thrush of water decreases the buoyant
force of the craft and it sinks or dives.
The buoyancy can be regulated at the
lever. When it has been lowered so
that no sign of it is seen above the
water. il is started on its course
towards the foe; electricity is now
taking the place Of naphtha as the
motor power. When within firing
range of the ship it has been sent 10
destroy, the torpedo is exploded by
impact upon the sides of the ship. The
fuse is touched of by plunger which
dashes against percussion caps when
the torpedo strikes the ship, this sets
off the gun cotton in the torpedo, and
there is enough to destroy the biggest
battleship ahoat.

DEVILS OF THE SEA.
That Is What Mariners Call the
Submarine Boats.
Six of Them Are Now Being Finished
and Tested at New Suffolk, L. L.
How the Boats Are
Operated.

Because of the secrecy which guards
Uncle Sans venture with the subma-
rine torpedo boat little has been heard
of this saucy little newcomer in naval
warfare since the explosion of the
Fulton off Delaware breakwater last
April while it was attempting a trip
in the open sea from New York 10
Washington, a feat never before IN
dertaken by similar craft.
The world at large, says the Chi
eago Tribune, Is totally ignorant of
the fact that a formidable tiotilla of
submarine boats is being hatched out
in American waters. Floated about a
secluded landing in the Great Peconic
oay in a remote corner of Long Island
six of these little daredevils of the
sea are daily exploiting their won
drOus feats, diving out of sight, rising
again in four seconds, firing their
deadly tOrpedoes under the water at
targets, and performing all the tasks
laid for them by their inventor when
he first dreamed of this means of de-
strOying an entire navy.
Since the United States navy accept
ed the boat invented by Holland six
others have been built and are await
ing the inspection of experts. They
are the Fulton, the Adder, the Mocas-
sin. the Shark, the Plunger and the
Porpoise. All of them are afoat at
New Suffolk, L. l., the testing and fin
ishing station especially fitted up for
this work.
All of the boats which are now be-
ing finished and tested at New Suf-
folk, /. l., have been fitted with ap-
paratus which will make explosions
impossible in the future; and there
can be no doubt that a long step has
been taken in the perfecting of the
submarine boat.

the streets Of southern city, and so
little notice was taken of the affair that
even the northern press failed to COM
ment upon the fact that whole negro
settlement had been burned and so
many killed, all because one vicious
negro attempted the life of a white
man and was protected by his neigh
bors. That is to say, a people who
persist IN living among their natural
enemies and are without the energy or
courage TO protect themselves cry in
vain for justice. They will not get it.
For justice, after all, is not 'even-

of the negro race. Their black morals

the younger generation are any better

slavery had IS much to do with the i'm
morality of the negro as some very
kindly suppose. The first mulatto

country ever saw. And to this day
most of them lack that divine energy

Mr.. Bingham is the republican IA
uonal committeeman from Alabama,
and his turn down is therefore matter
OF more than usual concern to the white
republicans in the sonth.

In referring to the case Postmaster
General Payne said:
"The change IN the office of collector
of internal revenue for the district Of
Alabama in no wise reflects upon the
integrity or ability of Mr. Bingham.
the incumbent of the Office 1t is one
OF those things which occasionally hap
pens IN politics. ThepoSitiontake enbythe
republicans of Alabama at their recent
state convention, as understood by
the republicans OF the north, is looked
upon as perversion of the lundamen-
tai principles of the republican party,
and Mr.. Bingham is in measure held
eSponsible for that action; hence the
change"
"Neit er the administration nor the
republican party Of the north wi |
stand for the exclusion of any section
of our people by reason of their race
or color, when, in other respects. such
persons have complied with the laws
and are eligible under the law 10 full
and free participation in political ac-

Mr.. Roosevelt and the Colcred Voter.

From the Evening Star.
The rebuke administered by the
President to the sO-called "lily white"
republicans of the south was thorough
ly well deserved and entirely in keep
ing with his reputation for fair play
and honest fighting. He could not heve
failed to take such action. AS Il citizen
he has always affiliated with the par
ty which stands for equal rights for
all men before the law, and as a sol
dler he fought side by side with the
negro troops in Cuba and received from
tn IN some valuable and timely aSsiS
tanCe in the battle of San Jaun hill. AS
President of the United Sta es he
stands for all the people. Every con
81 siieration, therefore, of Justice, duty,
gratitude and manhood required that
he set his face in opposition TO a move
ment inaugurated in the name of his
party, against a leading principle of
his party and in fiat violation If the
spirit of our American institutions.
In dicussing this question it is not
necessary TO go back to the enfran
chisement of an ignorant and helples
race. But if that Is desired there need
be no hesitation about confeSsing that
a very great mistake was made when
the electorate was so enlarged The gra
vest iTjustiCe was dOnebOth TO the Ne
gro and to the white man, ahd both have
since paid a severe penalty for legisla
tiOn enacted partly in anger and part
ly in ignorance of or contempt for most
probable consequences.
But thirty-odd years of freedom and
ha r..
ken inlo the account. There are many
negroes who by industry, patience and
correct walk have made homes for
themselves and shown the proper ap
probation of the requirements of good
citizenship. They pay taxes, they ed
uCate their children, they obey the laws
and they enjoy the respect of ftheiT more
reputable white neighbOrS. What shall
become of these men' Shall they be
bracketed with the thriftless ana Grim
inal and unworthy of peir race and
cast into outer darkness? Have they
no claims upon consideration? Will
the state benefit by depressing such
people? How is it possible.
The negro question is national, and
it must be dealt with in a national
spirit and on national lines. In the
south the negro is barred from the
polls. In the north his vote is solicited.
He is coddled as election day approach
es and made much of. In New York
Tammany Hall boasts of an ally who
by reason of his shreweneSs and capac
i'y as a political worker is known as
ihe "Colored croker" He hustles a
mong his race for votes for rammany'S
tickets, and he is supplied with the
Sinews of war out Of Iammany's strong
box. Why this difference? Is this col
Ored Croker a worthier man than the
colored farmer in the south who owns
his home and respaCts himself and o
beyS the laws under which he lives.

I'm there. Since Gen. Smith, Of
,Ps kill and burn" order fame, re-
Fnou-shed his authority over this
bIood-stained island, Gen. Grant has
b4eD in charge. He began the work
of bringing the fiery native spirit of
+Fa islanders under civil and military

and he pursued the task with a
mixed combination Of aggressiveness
and diplomacy, qualities that pre-
dominated in his father. the late

mines since the first outbreak, and
during that time he has only been
home once, and that was on a two

"Samar is enjoying the first period

marriage of Clarence c. Lee, son Of
John c. Lee, Of Merchantville, to Miss
Sadie e. Mines, daughter Of Charles
c Mines, of Camden, which occurred
week ago last night, has just been
made known to their parents and

pleasant news, so she told her father.
Mr. Mines was very much surprised,
and simply exclaimed: "'Welll Welli"
After he heard the details he admin

bride for not asking him to the we'd
