NO NEED FOR ALARM.

Some of our Republican conte nporaries are using MT. Cleveland's age as dn ar- gument against him. They say he might die and leave the Government to b, ad- ministered by an accidental lncr lnte int, as Is now the case We fully understand the cause of their solicitude anu respect them for it. They know, though they will not admit it, what tad 3'Tgein their party and the country E;ade by an accident of this kind, and i, is cred- itable to them that they have 10 wish to see it repeated.
 We can assure our friends on the ether side that they need have To uneasiness on that score, admitting that Mr. Cleve- land may be nominated. He is hale and hearty man, of good habits. not giv- en to excesses, and bids fair to live far beyond the time that another term would carry him. He. would run the risk that all Presidents do of incurring the enmity of an assassin but that is as likely to happen to young President as to an old ono. Mir.

Is the Fifteenth Amendment Dead

New Orleans s-Democrat.
 The number of Northern papers which accept the Alabama suffrage decision of the United States Supreme Court as an important step toward ridding the coun- try of the fifteenth amendment is larger than expected. Even the Springfield Re- publican. one of the most stalwart of the pro- negro press, sees that the war amend ments are doomed and remarks sadly:
 Congress Is powerless in the matter. and if all attempts to bring about an off, ficial determination of the question are to be put down on various technical grounds, as in the present case. then the fifteenth amendment will have to be- con sidered as having been hung up in the National Museum for people to look at as one of the curiosities of the recon struction age"
 To this another New England paper The Providence Journal, which has shown good, sound common sense in the discussion of this negro question, re- marks:
 "The National Museum is exactly where the fifteenth amendment belongs" As we have noted, The New York Sun apropos of the Alabama decision. believes
 that 1t will bring up at an early day the question of the repeal of the four | teenth and fifteenth amendments. The 1 Journal goes much further, and takes the view that the ruling of the court, which | refuses to attack the suffrage Legislation
 of the Southern States. shows how w can get rid of the amendments without | formal action.
 "The conclusion to which one is inevi
 tably forced" says The Journal, lis tha
 a way has been found to disfranchise thu negro without invoking restraining de | cree from the Supreme Court of the Unit
 ed States and that, as consequence the fifteenth amendment is in a fair way
 to become a dead letter through the un power in the courts to enforce 1t. If ac quiescence by public opinion in the dis
