In the Supreme Cours of the
United States, decision was rend-
eaed on the 23rd ult., which. finally
and for good cooks the case of the
Alabama negro who was testing
the suffrage provision of the new
Constitution of that State The
case in question was that of Jack
son W. Giles. negro, against the
board of registration of Montgom-
cry county. Phase of the case was
decided last spring by the court,
when it was held that the right of
suffrage vas a political right, and
that the Supreme Court Court had
no jurisdiction. Giles sued for
damages for the refusal of the
board of registration to allow him
to become registered voter, and
also sought to obtain a mandate to
compel the board to allow his
name to go on tho voting list
The court denied this. Giles
made the fight on the ground that
the provision of the Constitution
referred to was framed for the pur-
pose of preventing negroes voting.
and that he was refused registra-
ton because he was negro
This decision will probably set
tie the Virginia cases in which
John s. Wise has been maki1g

Dangers OF the Republic.


The United States now faces that dan
ger from concentrated power which has
produced violence and disiutegration in
50 many lands. and from which 1t was
the special effort OF the Jefferson Mad
ison group among the founders to pro
teCt the nation whose course they plan
ned. The danger. not near or great. Is
yet discernible. 1t is to be found not so
much in personal executive enroachments
although they are to be regretted as fur
nishing presidents OF evil for more haz-
ardouS days, not so much in the increased
executive initiative made necessary by
active foreign policies. although this in
eVitable development is to be scanned
with eyes jealous for that individual lib
erty which 1t now requires some fan
ming to keep alive. The danger is to
be found in contempt for law among the
powerful which may at any moment
breed contempt for law among the mass
es. Legislators who steal and the vast
corporations Of which they are the slaves,
form the two greatest dangers to our
stability, for they alone furnish a griev-
ance so gross and lasting as to shake
the belief that we live under a system
essentially just and equal.
The anarchy branch OF the democracy
today would not have grown to its pres
ent size without these twin grievances
the corrupt power OF concentrated wealth
and the subservience OF the peoples So
called servants. we welcome, therefore,
with relief and satisfaction such an in
/ cident as Senator Burtons conviction,
which, unless our too complicated legal
system fails to work with technical eX-
atcness, viii give US the spectacle of a
| United States senator in jail where a
considerable number OF his fellows ought
to be- The criminal law should also be
executed upon few OF the worst of the
law defyng trusts, when the task can be
| successfully undertaken. The tariff
! should no longer be made a device fol-
/ enriching the wealthy at the cost OF
/ Filipinos Cubans or Americans. II re-
| publicans or real democrats will take
/ these steps toward common justice be-
tween man and man, the faction of vio-
| lent and ignorant agitation will die FOL

A Long and Successful Business Career

[From the Shoe and Leather Reporter
To-day, April 81, marks the commence
ment of the ffteth anniversary of the
business of Hon. Carroll S. Page, of Hyde
Park, VT, as a purchaser of green calf
skins ana it can be said without reserva-
ton that more green calfskins have pass
ed through his hands than through the
hands of any man living. From the small
purchases from local butchers, when a
mere boy. he has steadily enlarged his
field of operation, not only in calfskins, but
in hides, tallow, wool and sheepskins,
and is a recognized leader in such. His
hide house is composed of two floors,
27GNS7 feet, where all the hides and skins
are received, sorted sailed and delivered,
and with the wool rooms, storage and
other buildings cover an area approximate
ing to two acres Mr. Pages business
career is too well known to the trade
to call comment here, but in the midst
of his business he has found time to take
an interest in public affairs He is presi-
dent of two banks and a director of the
st. JohnsbuTy and Lake Champlain Rail-
road company. He has represented his
county in the Vermont General Assembly
as representative and senator and for
two years was governor of Vermont,
filling the office with signal ability, Fol-
some years he was inspector of finance and
had the supervision of the Vermont saw
ings banks. In all these responsible po-
sitions with which his state has honor
ed him he has proved a worthy states
| man.
