be the same as if Great Britain should in
terfere in behalf of the Filipinos after this
government had given notice that the offer
of mediation would not be acceptable.
At the same time that the sixtyIive Dem
ocratic representatives voting in the House
caucus are expressing sympathy for the
people of the South African republic they
are threatening to block the business of
the House because a proposition is pending
to inquire if any OF the States have dis
franchised any portion of their inhabitants
in a manner. involving a violation Of the
Constitution of the United States. 1t is
Of Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina,
Alabama and South Carolina have so
changed their constitutions as to disfran-
chise the mass of the colored voters. 1t is
charged and is not denied that these con-
situations have been changed for no other
purpose than to get rid of the colored vot-
ers. The Constitution of the United States
provides that when any part of the inhabit-
ants of a State shall be deprived of the
right of suffrage on account of race or
color the basis of representation in Congress
of such State shall be reduced in the pro-
portion which the number Of such male
citizens shall bear TO the whole number
of male citizens therein. No part of the
Constitution should be annulled by the
States or people. il has been a matter of
common consent that half the citizens of
Mississippi, nearly half those of Louisiana.
more than half those of South Carolina,
more than two-fifths those of Alabama and
nearly one-third those of North Carolina
have been deprived of the right to vote be-
cause of their race. In Virginia a con-
stitutional convention is now laboring to
disfranchise the colored voters. The voters
represent not less than five million inhabit-
ants such as are counted for. representa-
ton in Congress. In the one State of South
Carolina more people have been deprived
of participation in government and of the
chief right of citizenship than there are
Beers in South Africa. The British asked
of the Beers in South Africa that resi-
dents of other nationalities should have
a right to participate in the affairs of the
government. which was refused. and this
refusal is one Of the chief causes of the
war. These Democratic leaders from the
South who are so solicitous for the freedom
CT the Beers have gone much farther in
depriving the cOlored man of citizenship
than did the British in their original de
mands upon the Beers, as the latter did
not propose to curtail a right of the Beers,
but demanded the same rights for the
British and other settlers in South Africa,
while the Democrats in the South have
taken citizenship from more than a million
men who have been voters. Compared as
crimes against human freedom the men IN
Congress who participated in the disfran-
chisement of colored men in the United
States are greater Offenders than the Brit
ish government. Consequently, they should
observe a discreet silence.

Vasquez, one-time President of Honduras.
has arrived in this city. He left here a few
weeks ago on the Chilean liner Tucapel,
to make a visit to some Central American

Decision in An Oil Case.

CLEVELAND, o, March 20.-United
States Circuit Judge Wing handed down a
decision to-day in the long-contested legal
battle between the Vacuum Oil Company. a
branch of the Standard Oil Company. and
the Climax Oil Company, of this city, in
favor of the latter concern. The Vacuum
Company claimed that il alone had the
right TO stamp on the head OF oil
barrels or "PPL" with any letter. The de-
PENDANT stamped on the heads of
barrels. The judge said he saw no valid
reason why any oil company whose prod
uct stood the necessary tests should not
use the marks in question. The case has
been in court for five years.

The New York Times, in referring to the
Commissioner Evans. says that lin face of
the innumerable evidences of fraud, show
ing that the pension roll was deeply tainted
with dishonor and odious mendicancy, the
Grand Army of the Republic ceaselessly
clamors for more pensions" This state
ment shows that that excellent newspaper
has forgotten that President Cleveland en-
tered upon his second term with the idea
that there were innumerable evidences of
fraud on the pension roll, and that, with
that belief, he caused a number of exam
iners to go through the rolls and pick out
therefrom. Several thousand pensioners
were suspended. most of them under the
act of 1890. because of improper rating. If
the matter should be looked up now it will
be found that nearly all of those picked
cases were restored TO the roll by the Off
Gals who instituted the investigation. A
division of the Pension Bureau is en-
ployed all the time in seeking frauds con-
nected with the granting of pensions. The
officer in charge of that division made a
report to Commissioner Evans for the year
which ended Tune 80, 1901, which shows that
300 persons were indicted for various frauds
in connection with the granting of pensions,
Of which $50 were tried within the year, re-
sulting in 226 convictions. Considering that
there are nearly a million names on the
pension rolls, and thousands more striving
to be so placed, the result of the constant
efforts of a corps of skilled investigators
from year to year does not warrant the
charge that 1.-The pension roll is deeply
tainted with dishonor."

CASE OF HERR MOST.



NEW YORK. March 90-The appellate
division of the Supreme Court has lust
heard arguments in the appeal taken by
John Most. who was convicted in the Court
of Special Sessions for publishing i'm Die
Freiheit on Sept. Z. 1901, under the caption.
Murder VS.. Murder" an article which. it
was contended, had a tendency TO ~irrita.e
the public mind. Counsel for Most con-
tended that under Section s of the State
Constitution every citizen may freely
speak. write or publish his on
all subjects. and that the intention of the
trainers of the Constitution was to prevent
any censorships of the press" Counsel also
commended that the article published was
not libelous, and that il did not tend TO
commit a breach OF the peace and that IT
did not come within the inhibition of any
express statute.
A representative of the district attorneys
office contended that under the penal code
Most had published an article which had
disturbed the public peace and outraged
public %decency. The justices reserved de-
cision.

her playing. Miss Urso possessed a

lemand by managers all over the coun-

She played the sweet old melody with
out accompaniment. and the graceful.
unusual and nearly human tore which
she managed to produce was almost in
describable. Each note seemed 10 speak

weak. played THE Last Rose of sum
