Several southern states have framed
new constitutions for the sole purpose
of disfranchising the colored voters.
Booker 7. Washington takes a novel
and what some may consider a sensible
view of such unfriendly constitutions.
He finds in them an incentive to the
colored race to get knowledge and
money. He says: I'VE cannot elevate
and make useful a race of people until
there is held out to them a hope of re-
ward for right living" The hope of
reward in this case is the suffrage
Every revised constitution throughout
the southern states says Mr.. Wash
ington, has put premium upon intel
ligence, ownership of property, thrift,
and character If the negro wishes
to vote and to stand in this respect on
a level with his white neighbors, he
must learn to read and write, or must
get together property enough to entitIe
him to the ballot. Until there is evil
dence to the contrary, it must be pre-
sumed that a colored man who has a
right to vote under a revised constitu-
ton Will be allowed to vote. At the
last election in South Carolina thou
sands of negroes who are qualified cleo
tors and have registration tickets did
not go to the polls. For the first time
since the negroes. got the ballot not one
of them is holding any kind of public
office in the state. The lone colored
of the last legislature failed
of reelection. No bulldozing is report
ed, and apparently the colored men who
are qualified electors took no interest
in the election. Nor for that matter
did the white Republicans.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a
perpetual mission. Let all who truly and
society defended by human intellect and
literature should flourish, strive by their
liberality to guard and protect the
catholic press, and let every one in pro-
portion to his income support them with
his money and influence, for to those
who devote themselves to the Catholic
press we ought by all means to bring
helps of this kind, without which their
Industry will either have no results OF
uncertain and miserable ones.

The Pious fund case is not the ONLY
one that The Hague arbitration court
will have to settle, says the Catholic
Citizen. A Japanese controversy is
next on the calendar The permanent
court of International arbitration,
which is now in session, has referred
to it for solution no. fewer than sew
enteen questions. eight of which relate
to Latin America. They are as fol-
lows:
England and Brazil: Defamation of
Guayana frontiers.
France and Venezuela: Indemnity to
French subjects for losses sustained
during the revolution.
France and Chilli: Exploitation of
guano deposits.
Italy and Peru: Interpretation of the
treaty of commerce concluded between
the two countries.
Italy and Guatemala: Rights of Ital-
ians in Guatemala.
United States and Salvador: Reclaim
atoms with regard to the Society of
Commerce of Salvador.
United States and Mexico: Right of
over the ecclesiastical funds
of California. (Adjudicated.)
Bolivia and Peru: All questions
pending between the two countries.

however, IS drawn at the harem, but

Among the wonders of Indiana is a
9-months-old wolf hound owned by
Jacob Diffenbauch, a farmer, near An
drews, on the banks of the Wabash.
The pup is an expert corn husker. His
master declares the dog can already
beat the average farm hand in caring
the husks from the corn. He has ac-
quired the speed, and is now being
trained in neatness. Indiana can al
ways be relied upon for turning out

Bishop Spalding is a great literary
leader. The Catholic World Magazine
for December has thoughtful article
on The Basis of a Catholic Novel"
wherein the possibility and the desira-
bility of an exclusively Catholic novel
is discussed. Among other interesting
paragraphs is the following laudatory
word of Bishop Spalding:
There can be no doubt that in our
church resides in full those ideals and
conceptions toward which the world is
moving, and in the ACCEPTANCE of which,
sooner or later, man will find his So
cial salvation. To vitalize these truths,
to make them potent in influence,
seems the duty of the moment. In his
deep-reaclling essays, Bishop Spalding
gives us a glimpse of the vast posi-
bilities of an educated Catholic peo-
pie. He is doing more to enliven the
Catholic truth, and to show it's appH-
cation to modern life than any writer
since this era has begun

Thomas Mast, whose cartoons were
credited with having had much to do
with sending the notorious Boss"
Tweed to prison in New York thirty
years ago, and whose civil war and
Greeley campaign cartoons were
scarcely less celebrated, died recently
at Guayaquil, Ecuador, of yellow fever.
He went to Guayaquil as United States
consul general last spring.

The railway employees of the United
States were paid $610,OOOO 600 during the
year ending June 80, 1901, The Engf-
neering News estimates that $40, 900 900
Of that sum represents the salaries
paid to officials. Hence if the 10 per
cent increase in wages recently
ordered by the Pennsylvania road had
been ordered by all the roads two and
a half years ago the expenses of the
roads for the year 19OO-19O1 would have
been increased $5I0OO,OOO. That in
crease would have left the roads with
surplus of s2S,OOOOOO after the pay
ment of interest on bonds and divi
dends. The actual surplus was ISL, oOO.-
900. The higher wage scale would
have been paid in 1901 without reduc-
ing dividends. 1t could not have been
done in 1897 when 10 per cent increase
in wages would have cost the roads
$45,000,0OO. That year the railways paid
out 100000 in dividends and had a
surplus of but $4,000, 600. 1t follows
that with the business the roads are
doing now they can pay high ar wages
without trenching on dividends on the
one hand or raising freight rates on
the other. 1t is true that a rush of
business may necessitate large OUTLAWS
on account of rolling stock and sup

Thomas Bracket Reed is dead. A
man of uncommon parts. 4 statesman
without luck A politician with am
bition unattained. Thomas B. Reed
would have had a longer and a happier
life if he, whe saw many things so
clearly, had been able to see with equal
elearness that the presidency was not
for him. He hoped to succeed where
Mr.. Blaine failed, but he did not come
so near success as Mr. Blaine did The
speakers chair was a stepping stone to
the presidency IN the case of Polk. 1t
was not for Clay, Blaine or Reed.
Mr.. Reeds first election to the speak
ership in 1889 made him a national
character. Prior to that he had been
known to men who take an interest
in political affairs and congressional
proceedings as one of the most force
full members of the house, and as a
practiced debater whose satirical COM
fective because of the Yankee drawl
with which they were delivered, gem
orally silenced his opponents He was
the Republican leader in the house
long before his election to the speak
ership. After Mr.. Reed became speak
er, and was nicknamed ''the car"
everybody know him. Republicans ap-
plauded him as heartily as Democrats
abused him. The adverse elections of
1890 removed him from the speakers
chair. The Republican victories in 1894
put him back there. There was no one
to dispute his title. He could, had he
so chosen, have been speaker, in all
human probability, as long as his party
was in power and he was in the house.
