The DEMOCRATIC EoLn.

Providence, Nov. 3.--The fight in
this state today was a very bitter one
and returns are coming in very slow.
However it is generally conceded
that Girvin, the present democratic
governor, has been reelected by 1900

The Eclectic Magazine

for May is striking and important num-
her. IL opens with Alfred r. Wallsces re-
ma'kable article on Mans Place in the
Universe, the interest excited by which was
so grea, as to completely exhaust the edition
OF The Living Age containing it,. 4. 7.
Dillon's description of The Reign of Terror
in Macedonia which narrates almost iuoredi-
bile atrocities is reprinted from The Conlem-
poraty Review. Other articles on public
aud political affairs include graphic account,
OF the daily life of member of Parliament,
under the title In the Service az ST., Ste
phen's;a thoughtful consideration of The
Political Life OF Queen Victoria from The
Quarterly Review; and brief article from
The Spectator on the Alaskan Boundary.
In the same field, in sense, belong articles
on Senior Sagasia by John Foreman, and on
Monsieur de Blowiiz by Special Cores

lighter features. There is a clever article
on The perennial subject Mistress and Maid
by Mrs. Frederic Harrison: a striking story
Coward's Wife by Maud Oxenden, which
presents remarkably searching study of

Superintendent Miller has ar
ranged for conference with five of
the most experienced county super
intendents from various parts of the
State to advise as to arrangements
for the first uniform teachers ex-
animation under the new statute.
The statute referred to provides for
examinations to be held not more
than five times year, the number
and date to be set by the State
Superintendent and the place to be
designated by the county superin-
tendent. The questions, which are
to be uniform, are to be prepared
by the School Department and sent
to the county superintendent, who
will break the seal before the eyes
of the candidates. The papers on
this examination are to be sent to
the School Department, where they
will be graded and certificates
awarded. The certificates are to be
of three kinds--hrst class, which
enti'lc the teacher to teach for five
years before being examined again;
second class, emitting the holder to
teach for three years; third class,
one year. The certificates are good
in any county in the State. -

When President Roosevelt was
about to leave on his western trip
he was called on by delegation of
the prominent members of his party
and was compelled to revise his
tariff and "trust busting" speeches
to be delivered on the trip, or take
the consequence of defeat or
attempt at defeat in the next repub-
lican national convention. The re-
vision was made at their dictation,
and, inasmuch as he had not time
to rewrite all his speeches he used
some of the warmed-over speeches
that were satisfactory to the tariff
barons. The speech that he de-
livered at Minneapolis on April 4,
is almost verbatim the speech de-
livered by Secretary of War Root at
Cooper Union, New York, last
October. II any man doubts it lei
hfm get them and make the COM
parison. This simply shows how
the President is being dominated by
trust interest of the country and
what hollow mockery is all this
hue and cry about "busting the
trusts"

Moundsville, w. Va, May a.
A large number of convicts are now
employed in preparing the land and
planting it for early vegetables on
the prison farm south of the city.
The farm contains o. acres of land
suitable for cultivation. The State
also has under lease an additional
IS acres.
Large quantities of the differen,
varieties of vegetables are raised
yearly.
Eighty bushels of onions set, 1as
bushels of potatoes, FIVE barrels OF
lettuce seed, and as, 900 cabbage
plants are now being planted on the
farm and as soon as the weather
moderates $4,000 tomato plants
will be set out.
The above is merely an illustra-
ton OF the amount of vegetables
consumed at the institution, as a
large quantity of other vegetables
are also raised.
Thirty-six hundred roasting ears
were served at one meal last sum-
mer. The usual number served,
however, is about q, 900.

Is is not strange that men who
look upon suffrage for themselves
above all price, and the denial OF il
the most severe punishment, think
nothing of denying il to women7
They even go SO far as TO make

happen to be brave enough TO ex.
press a desire for this right OF
citizenship which is freely given to
the most ignorant, foreign men who

friend will get up petition begging
the Governor TO commut his sentence
II for not more than forty eight
hours prior to its expiration so that
when he comes out of prison he may
not be compelled to suffer the dis
grace of Acknowledgement.
The penalty inflicted upon those
who took up arms against their own
country few years ago was that of
disfranchisement, but even that was
felt to be too severe to be borne
and our government made haste to
remove, even from the leader of
them all, this humiliatior this
degradation, and again re nred to
them their right of United States
citizenship.
How can men delude themselves
into believing that what is ignominy
unbearable for them is honor and
glory for women.
We have become so accustomed
to this inconsistency that we think
no more of it than the Chinese do
of binding the feet of their girl
babies.
Here we have an educated, moral.
law-a6lding, tax-pying class of
people who are deeply interested in
all that pertains to the welfare of
their country, and are equally affect
ed with the men by good or bad
government, denied all voice in its
affairs, and all this under a form of
government that has for its battle

BY sustaining the decision of the
United States Circuit Court recently
made in the case of Jackson w.
Giles VS.. registration board of Mont
gomery county, Alabama, the
United States Supreme Court has
ruled that the Government at large
has nothing whatever to do with dis
franciseing the negro in the South,
and that the matter rested entirely
in the hands of the state officials.
Giles, negro resident of Mont
gomery county, Alabama, was not
permitted to vote at the last county
election. He filed suit against the
registration board of the county
and the Circuit Court judges ruled
they had nothing 10 do with the
matter, as 1t was out of their juris-
diction. Giles counsel decided to
take the matter before the highest
tribunal in the United States and
asked for ruling in the Supreme
Court.
According to this decision every
State in the Union can disfranchise
the negro and keep him from vot-
ing. The ruling is consequently OF
the utmost importance.

Who has read any comment on
the comparative SIN allness of the
Steel Trusts taxes2 It's repor,
shows that it paid taxes to the
amount of ss,3o5465 in 1909.
This is less than per cent of its
net earnings and less than mills on
the dollar of the value of its prop
erty, according to its capital and
sworn statement of its president.
Is there any sound reason why this
protected-billion- dollar trust should
pay in taxes IS cents on every 500
when the unprotected common peo-
pie pay So or s. on every 500
worth of property?
1t is probable that this trust pays
less than 81, 900, 900 of taxes on its
iron and steel lands, valued at over
81, 900, 900, 900. This is less than
one mill on the dollar. The taxes
on ordinary farm lands worth
-, 200, 900, 900 are about SIS, 900,
600.
