The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1904-02-26

J. W. Burke, q former general fore
man; w. L. Holler, messenger, for
merly Of Andrew, Ind; Owen Der
mody, conductor, formerly If Beaver.
Dam, Wis, and II Greek laborers.
The injured: Engineer LENA,
slight; Conductor Courtney, slight;
Engineer Stanton, slight; Operator
Taylor and wife, injured about face
and body, and ten Greek labOrers, all
seriously injured.
Explosion Follows Collision.
The explosion following the COLI
sion between the two trains, which met
graph station, was terrific. Everything
within a radius of half a mile was
wrecked. The town of Terrace, Is
miles to the north, was shaken as by
an earthquake, window-panes in the
station at Colon, Is miles away, were
shattered, and 1.-The sound of the ex-
plosion was heard in this city, 81
miles from the scene of the disaster.
The ground upon which the trains
were standing was torn up for over
a thousand feet, leaving a great ex-
cavation 80 feet in depth, fragments
of q dozen freight car and two en-
gines were thrown for incredible dis
tances over the surrounding country,
the station building vas blown to
splinters. and the dead and injured
were scattered for hundreds of feet in
all %directions, most Of them having
their clothing torn off. Telegraph
wires and poles were torn down for
a thousand feet, and the first knoWl-
edge of the disaster came from Ter
race, Is miles away, the operator at
that point reporting to headquarters
that he saw an immense cloud of white
smoke ascend from Jackson and
spread out at a great height.
A relief train with doctors, nurses
and stretchers was hurriedly dis
patched from this city. The train re-
turned shortly before midnight with
the injured, who were placed in the
company's general hospital.
The great loss of life among the
Greeks is accounted for by the fact
that they occupied Quitting cars,
which were standing near the spot
where the explosion occurred.
OF the 46 persons at Jackson at the
time Of the explosion only nine es-
capped death or injury.
The great railroad trestle over the
lake was not damaged, the explosion
occurring a short distance beyond the
western end of that structure.

The grandfather clause" then is to
10 inserted to protect these IA white
men. The game is surely not worth
the candle. We make in Kentucky
the grandfather clause" abs urd. We
place ourselves below the black ridden
states of the south. We proclaim to
the world that Kentucky stoops to in
justice to avoid black domination.
We turn back the coming laborer and
the coming capital, for both fear the
black belt.
On the contrary, il we adopt the ed.
ucational qualification we put our.
selves at the head of the progressive
states, elevating the suffrage and ed
ucating our citizenship.
Between these two courses Ken.

THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE.
Louisville Post.

The future Of the south depends
chiefly on enlightened, educst ed,
southern opinions. The difficulties,
industrial and political, due to the
presence Of the negro, cannot be solved
ut once, and they cannot be solved At
all save in accord with the principles
of justice.
The whites and the blacks must
work together in harmony for the pro-
gress OF all the people.
In this work Of read justment Of the
races mistakes have been committed
and mistakes no doubt will be com
mitted in the future; what we must
all do is to be patient, tolerant and
just.
The states Of the south, in the broad
er field, need the assistance Of Ken
lucky now as they needed the assist
ance Of Kentucky in 1865 and on until
1889, when Grover Cleveland was
elected president, and the southern
states were restored to their old time
rights and privileges.
There is in Kentucky no danger Of
negro supremacy, and there is no fear
of it anywhere. The proportion OF
/ the negro vote to the white is SO small
that il cannot be considered menace
to any Just cause, the census Of 1900
placing it less than 4, or, to be exact
at 1871.
Yet it is proposed by constitution
al amendment for Kentucky to adopt
the grandfather clause, and in the face
of the federal constitution TO disfran-
ohise the negro.
The grandfather clause is a south
ern invention which is not needed in
Kentucky. Whether or not it is need
ed in the south is for the south TO say.
Ii has yet to be passed on by the fed
eral supreme court, and it is not prob
able it will be sustained by that tribu'
nal. Ii is 70 manifestly a subterfuge
that even in the south il is considered
more Of a temporary device than per
msnent remedy, and TO it some states
have added requirement OF tax re-
oeipt, which the negro rarely presents
, A few years ago we revised the Ken
; lucky constitution chiefly to wipe on
. the word slavery. for the thing itsel
had been dead for a quarter OF cen
tury. Now we would take back
! ward step and write into the constitu
, ton q grandfather clause, making thu
ballot an inherited privilege for whit
} men who cannot read and write.
Let us not adopt this subterfuge
Let us declare openly that we intend
to establish in Kentucky an education
al qualification and take the conse
quences whatever they are.
That is usually Kentuoky's way
anu III tIl5 uluttcI tuht 40 bhO pNS
way. II may exclude from the fran
chise some white men fit to vote, bu
ali restrictions do that, even the az
restriction, end it is made for the goo'
OF society.
An educational justification woul
do credit to the state; il would al
the cause of education; it would ex

The illiterate population Of Ken

O 1890 it was 21.6. In 1880 it was 29.y

O the white population is only 1873

A Texas congressman travelled 5000

Democratic politicians will travel most

II is hoped that the local legislative
boards will not be so foolish as to
spend the peoples money sending Il
delegation TO Frankfort or anywhere
else, 70 take up the charter amend
ment question. 1t is admitted that
the gentlemen would be glad to get
the trip at the expense of the city, but
if they will only stop to think, they
will doubtless admit that there is prac-
ticslly no prospect of agreeing on any
thing, as the three other second class
cities are not anxious for any amend
ments to their charter, and until they
become so it is practically impossible
TO make any 10 il. If Lexington. Gov
ington and Newport wanted any

ing everything into consideration, es-
pecially the fact that all this, if done
at all. should have been done weeks
ago, there is no excuse for wasting

money foolipg with these amend
ments, unless the excuse that some Of
