A TROLLEY CAR WRECK,
A Head-On Collision Sunday
Noon Near Pelham, N. H.

Syracuse-Decrease In Public Debt.
Deer Plentiful.
Through a head-on collision on
Sunday, near Pelham, N. H., between
two electric cars, each running, 1t is
said. at rate of more than 25 miles
an hour, four persons were killed and
l9 SO seriously injured that they are
under physicians care and several OF
these are expected to die. There were
70 passengers on the two cars and
many others received cuts and minor
wounds.
The accident occurred just before
noon on the line which runs through
the town between Lowell and Nashua
The collision was due, according to
the officials of the road, to a misunder
standing of the starters orders by the
motorman of the car bound FOL
Nashua. The car starter endeavored
to rectify this mistake by sending a
man to shut off the power and trying
to recall the Nashua bound car but
failed. The accident occurred on a
curve.
The cars met on the curve, neither
motorman seeing the approaching cal
until too late to avoid a collision,
Neither was there any time for the
passengers to escape by jumping
when the cars came together with a
force that threw the westbound car
directly upon the forward part of the
other, crushing the top of the cal
down upon the passengers and pinion'
ing those occupying the first three
seats in the wreckage.

HERE'S A spREApER.

The negro, and the negro question, like the poor, we have always with us, and 1t is somewhat amusing to read the ful- minations of some Northern men when anything is up about the negro Last of the University of the State of New York, and of course there was more or less speech-making. Among the speakers was one Charles A. Gardiner, who said: ''I advance the broad proposition that the nation has both the power and the duty to educate every negro to perform every obligation of American citizenship" Fur ther along he declared that the nation has power to enact a uniform educational qualification for all Federal voters. Again he says: The nation has the pow CT to educate the negro as corollary to its power to enact a uniform educational qualification
 There Is much more of the same kind, but this is enough to show what kind of wheels the fellow has in his head. We have read and heard a great deal of rot on the subject of negroes and their al- legged rights and wrongs, but this is the first man of presumably sound mind to claim that our Government, or the ma tion." as he repeatedly calls it, should take charge of all the schools and edu- cational apparatus of the entire country and set to work to give the entire col ored population an education. Just where he finds authority for asserting that the | Federal Government has the power to enact uniform educational qualification, or where the Government would find pow CT to establish and maintain and pay for uniform system of education is beyond us.
 And if the nation has the power and l authority and duty to educate negroes, why not the whites also? Does the power | of our Government vanish when it runs up against children with white skins? Is there no corollary here to fortify an ar gument? Is Mir. Gardiner an educated ass?

vERMoNT's SUFFRAGE REsTRIc.
 TIoNS.

TIoHs.
 The New York Sun quotes from the Yer mont Constitution as follows:
 Section 66-No person shall be admitted to take the freeman's oath, or vote at probation of the board of civil authority Of the town in which he resides.
 The Sun attempts to explain away this section by intimatins that the courts might hold that this ''freemans oath" is not necessary prerequisite to the right to vote. but this is weak argument In the first place. if there can or could be any doubt as to the meaning of such plain language as it contained in this Sec. ton 66 it is singular if the courts have never been called on to construe 1t. To us it seems that the words. ''or vote at any election is as plain as English can be written. It gives 'the board of civil authority complete control over the suf- frase in each town. and If plain language means anything this means that no man can vote at any election unless he has obtained the appreciation" of what in Alabama would be called the Board of Registration. +e
 If this section cf the Vermont constitu- ton is in contravention of the Constitu- ton of the United States or if it is thought to be so. why has no test case ever been made and why is nothing said about it?- We near quite great deal of late about the suffrage laws and Consti- tutionst of Alabama and other Southern States being violative of the Constitution. because the negro Is to some extent de- prived of some of the rights of suffrage, but there is nothing in our suffrage reg ulations which can be compared to the Vermont regulation IL our Constitution contained such a section as the one we have quoted, and if it should be held valid, and not violative of the Constitu- ton of the United S ates, it would vastly simplify matters. Every county in Ala bama has white registration board and will doubtless always have. unless there seen.
 If. now each county in Alabama had | a registration board with the powers giv- en "the board of civil authority in Yer ! mont would any colored man be regis tered unless the white registrars saw fit to place him on the :oll? Assuredly not. though We are sure there would be many colored voters in Alabama. but they would be so because the white people wanted them to have the right of suffrage. It Is really a wonder that this Vermont regulation has not been referred to be- fore, when so much is said about suffrage restrictions. The only explanation of the silence lies in the fact that only white men are affected in Vermont.
