THE ALABAMA CASE.

The Supreme Court of the
United States has repeatedly
| manifested the tendency natur-
al to the Republican party of
expanding the power of the
Federal Government. but it re-
fused i'm the case involving a
Negroes right to registration
under the new Constitution of
Alabama to go as far as to deny
the right of a Senate to establish
its own conditions for registra-
tion and voting, provided it
keep within the limits of the
Fifteenth amendment: The
right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the
United States, or by any State.
on account of race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude.
While the provisions of the
new Constitutions of Alabama
and several other States are
avowedly designed to exclude
the greater part of the negroes
from the ballot box, they ex-
clude no one on account of race,
color or previous condition,
and the enumeration of the
reasons upon which exclusion
may not be based implies that
exclusion may be based on 9th
er grounds.
1t is true that four Justices
dissented. and Justices Harlan.
Brown and Brewer read or join
ed in dissenting opinions, which
differ in the reasons for the dis
sent. But the opinion of the
majority of the Court was read
by Justice Holmes, a Republi-
can and Il Massachusetts man.
The States are left free to pro-
tect the ballot-boX by imposing
educational and other qualifica-
tons. and the United States
will not compel any State to
subject itself to the govern
ment of elements of the popu-
lation that are not fitted to ex-
ercise the electoral franchise
with advantage to the commun-
ity.
AS to the relation of the Fed
eral judiciary TO the question
raised in this case. Justice
Holmes says it is beyond the
power of the Supreme Court to
interfere in political cases of
such nature. Another Justice.
in explanation of the conclusion
of the Court, said, off the Bench
that the legitimate outcome of
the power the Court was asked
to exercise would be that the
court of equity would take
charge of the State government
and administer it," Even if
injustice be done by the States
Legislation. the Federal Courts
cannot step in and carry on
the State Government.
Back of the legal questions
there is the fundamental fact
that white men will not submit
to the government of black. red.
yellow or brown men. That is
a racial axiom and is not limit
ed to the United States. But
the colored people are secure in
their personal rights. and not
all of them are disfranchised.
They can obtain education and
property, cultivate the soil.
practice the mechanic arts and
the professions. The majority
of them are VIGOROUSLY unfit
for political privileges. Their
relations with the white people
are friendly, as they recently
testified in Richmond. With
the growth of intelligence and
character, the acquisition of
property and the development
of civic spirit they will fit them
selves for political privileges,
and will then acquire them.
The best men among themselves
deprecate the political activity
of the colored people. Record
