A PITY.

It is in truth a pity that the mass of
their people who oppose fighting the new
Constitution ard are advising them not
TO contribute TO the fund being collected
to test the validity of the instrument.
The sum it is proposed TO raise for that
object could be used in many directions
to benefit the race. II devoted to educa-
tional purposes it would open the road
for hundreds Of neeroeS to prepare them
selves for the exercise of the suffrage
under the fundamental law. AS il is it
will be money absolutely thrown away.
III any event its investment in legal pro-
ceedings is likely 10 render the negro's
last condition worse than his first. Even
should the proceedings that have been
instituted result III upsetting the Corst-
tution-and we Go not entertain the Slight
est fear on that score--in its ultimate
fruit the victory viii amount to nothing.
Indeed there is little doubt that the
than he would have lost in submitting 10
the situation. and that not only from the
politicol view point.
II is as certain as anything human can
be that our people are determined on the
elimination Of the vicious and ignorant
negro vote. Should tie naw organic law
not stand the test OF the Federal Consti
tuition they will make another one. cost
what it may in time and expense. They
will keep on trying until they succeed.
And should ii come TO this there is hardly
& question that the school fund vii! be
divided. Greater barriers than ever will
be erected against negro suffrage. An
other fact, il is to be regretted the negro
does not grasp. is that tie overthrow of
the new Constitution would tend to fur
Their straining Of the relations between
him and those to whom he must look
largely for living. For years tha negro
question has been causing the races to
drift wider and wider apart, and lessen
ing the sympathy Of the whites with the
negro. The removal of that question from
our politics gave promise Of a gradual
return TO the cid conditions Of white
friendship Tor the negroes, tolerance of
their faults and desire ito render them
happy. A reaction, we fear. wou.u be Vio-
lent and permanent.
So we iterate that it is in truth a pity
that the mass Of the negroes do not
hearken to the few Of their race who
oppose warning on the Constitution. These
few are the real friends Of the negro,
among his own people. and their advice. if
followed, would insure more blessings to
ing than could all the money the negroes
could raise for attacking the Constitution,
in q generation.

little Princess sInyfn1da.
New York Commercially


Little Princess Mafalda OF Italy is
named after one OF the legendary heroines
OF the House af Savoy. The first Mafalda
was the daughter OF Amadeo III. of Sa-
voy: she delighted in all manly exercises.
and. clad in armor. led Piedmontese
contingent to help Milan when 1t was be-
sieged by Frederick Barbarossa. The En-
peror fell In love with her. and when she
was captured after being defeated in
a hand-to-hand fight. gave her the choice
between death and becoming his mistress.
She very properly chose death. declaring
that she belonged to the House of Savoy
and that 10 member OF that house had
ever been Q coward. Alfonzo HenriQuez,
who subsequently became King OF Por-
tugal managed to make the Emperor
give her up. and afterward he married
the Princess After her husbands death
Queen Mafalda became nun in the nun
merry OF Coimbra. Historical dates do not
tally with the legend, but Mafalda is
undoubtedly q historical person. Her
granddaughter, o; the same name, was
made venerable IN the Catholic church
on account OF her piety The name Ma
falda is explained as being the form the
Portuguese gave to the harsh name
Mechtiid or Matilda.

VENEZUELA AND ARBITRATION.

The Venezuelan trouble new seems In
y fair way for arbitration and the time
has arrived when a settlement by that
method is advisable. We say the time
has arrived because arbitration ct a
previous stage OF the affair would have
been unfortunate, especially If the good
Offices Of the United States were to be in
evidence in bringing it about.
The Eenezuelans needed to be brought
TO q realization of tho fact that we would
not interpose the Monroe doctrine to
shield them from the consequences Of dis
honesty and Insulting conduct towards
other nations. They needed to be taught
the limits of that doctrine as we con-
strued it.
