HADLEY ON THE NEGRO VOTE.

ON I6E NEGRO VOTE
President Hadley of Yale a few
days ago said that q mistake was
mace after the civil war in giving
the negro the ballot before he was
prepared to use it intelligently. He
followed this statement by declar.
ing the suppression Of the negro
vote inevitable, but he added that
q MISTAKE fully as great. as civ.
ing the negro, unprepared, the fran
chise, would be to withhold it from
him, prepared for it.
President Hadley's address was
in the annual lecture course on
1.-THE Responsibilities Of Citizen.
ship" He said:
THE colored race was given free
dom and the BALLOT with q rapidity
which even the French nation did
not parallel. A corrupt govern
ment followed after the negro al
lowed the use Of his vote to un.
scrupulous persons of his own race
and to Adventures from the North.
ut was not the fault Of the negro.
1t was the fault Of those who gave
him the ballot without previous
preparation. The bame thing was
true in Italy before that and in Rus.
sia. The North did not recognize
this at the cloze Of the civil war.
They had recognized the dictum that
all men are born free and equal.
When the North recognized the
condition which prevailed in the
South it acquiesced in suppression
Of the negro vote.
THE error Of those who said thir-
~ years ago that the negro could be
given the ballot before he was pre-
pared for it was no greater than
thatof those who today think that
those rights can be withheld from
him after he has developed and is
ready for them.

from that Of many groups Of white
people In degree and not in kind;

A REIGN OF

point and preserve special privileges
has certainly been demonstrated in
the state Of Missouri during the past
few months. Bribery and corrup-
tion has been rampant.
It began in St. Louis, where mem
bers Of the city assembly had enter
ed into q compact with the corpora
tion seeking an extension of the gas
franchise that they would "deliver
the goods" to the corporation which
bought them. Immense sums of
money were paid in the shape of
brides, but at an inopportune mo-
ment the whole deal leaked out, the
br%ibe.takers we're rounded up and
have since been the recipients OF
penitentiary terms ranging from
two to eight years each.
Then came the baking powder
trust in On effort to defeat a bill in
the Missouri legislature which aimed
to exclude from the state all baking
powders containing alum. The
trusts headquarters are in New
York City, but agents laden with
bfibes were sent post haste to the
Missouri capital with instructions
TO use the money TO tie best advan-
tags. This they did, it seems, and
trust money way distributed broad
cast among members Of the legis.
lsturs, even including the lieuten-
ant.govenor, SO 1t is said, who re-
ceived . check for 81, 900 for his Gin
fuence." But o. in the case at St.
Louis, the story Of corruption leak
cd out.and prosecutions followed.
The prosecutions are still on and
u is earnestly hoped that the same
success will attend them as did the
St. Louis cases.
Whatever disgrace or unpleasant
notoriety may have come to MIS-

and creditable feature Of it all lies

Thackeray's Mustacbe.

In note on Samuel Laurence's Dor
trait of Thackeray-that representing
the novelists face in full-the Illus
trated London News of Oct 10, 1855,
says:
1T is not, we must confess, alto
gether true to his present appearance
for 1t wants a recent and becoming
addition to the upper lip in the shape
of black mustache that contra sts
most admirably with head of silver
gray, but it is like the man and will
be welcome to his many admirers"
The reference here to the mustacbe
Is interesting for the reason that every
portrait of Thackeray, with one excep-
uon, represents him with clean
shaver upper lip, the exception being
Maclise's pencil drawing of the famous
"I1tmarsh," which, however, belongs
to much earlier date-viz. about
1910 and in which there is lust n
suspicion Off mustache. Presumably
the hirsute appendage of 1855 was
merely passing fancy, which the RI.

NEWEST FAD IN FURS.
Why Furriers Decided TO Make Mole
skin Popular This Season

That soft, earth colored fur moleskin
is in great vogue this fall, says the
New York Press. Women who dress
carefully will greet ii as a relief from
the monotonous gray squirrel and the
snowy ermine. There is small chance
of mOleskin becoming common this
winter. Owing to the demand mole
pelts are extremely scarce, and a muff
and stole cannot be bought for less
than $500. Nor is moleskin used only
for outer garments. Dressmakers use
n great deal of it for gown trimming.
and mole decked evening gowns will be
worn by many fashionable women.
One furrier is blending mole with err
mine, and the contrast is striking
Milliners are not slow 70 realize that
moleskin is the rage, and a toque com
posed completely of it is appraised at
$50.
A furrier said of the newest fad in
furs: Not through any preference are
we pushing mOleskin. | tell you every
fur is so scarce that furriers do not
know which way to turn. To wear
fine furs in America now really de-
notes prosperity, as velvet gowns did
thirty years ago. This popularity in
America has depleted the supply, and
in the markets of Europe prices are
soaring. 1t is almost impossible to buy |
sable. Mink is scarce, and gray SOUR |
rel Is more expensive than ever. If the |
demand for ermine continues, the little |
white animal will be almost extinct. |
The fur markets of Europe are emp.
tied. The furriers conferred a wear
ago and determined to launch n new
fur. They settled on mole because of
Its commences. The dunes of Scot.
land are alive with moles, and in New
York state they are plentiful. At that
time moleskins were worth only %
cents each. Now we must pay as high
as 10 cents for pelt."

LeprOsy In Colombia.

Here is something that may throw
light on the recent action, or, rather,
inaction, of the Colombians with refer

Jonathan Hutchinson, the well known
surgeon and expert on leprosy, in let.
ter to the London Times renews his for.
mer endeavor to establish the connec-
ton between the eating of decayed
fish on religious fast days and the
spread OF that loathsome disease. He
says that his attention has been d.
rected recently to its prevalence in the
United States Of Colombia. 1t was in
that region that the earliest Spanish
settlements were made and where, &C.
cordlng to tradition, the first cases of
leprosy on the American continent o.

VestlsatlDg the case and directs atten-
tion TO some suggestive facts. He
quotes tile figures Of DR.. Ashmead of
new York city to show that. while
mere are 100000 lepers in India, 1oO,-
'oo In China and an equal number in
Japan, there are 10000 In. Colombia
