- HOMAS NELSON PAGE, who un-
doubtedly knows the South as
thoroughly as any living man,
will write in the July Scrib-
ner's on "The Disfranchisement Of
the Negro" which has been
brought about by the so-called
grandfather clauses" Mr.. Page
believes that this Acknowledgement
was a measure of high necessity" and
that 1T removes for the time being the
chief cause Of bitterness. from which
the negro is a greater sufferer than the
white" He also advances an argu-
ment to prove that IT would be a mis-
take to reduce the representation OF
the South in Congress by reason OF
these amendments. Another feature OF
July Scribner's, and one calculated to
be of particular interest to Californi-
ans, will be an article by w. S. Har-
wood upon the marvellous achievements
of Wizard" Luther Burbank. the hor-
ticulturist of Santa Rosa.
q John Bassett Moore contributes to
the July number Of Harper's Magazine
a valuable article following up the sub
jects of his papers on American di-
plOmacy, entitled Freedom Of the
Seas" 1t deals in a most interesting
way with the troubles of the young
republic with the piraticaI Barbary
poweTs-the empire Of Morocco and the
regencies of Tunis, TripoH and Algiers
at time when their cOrsairs were
roaming the high seas, taking tribute
from powerful nations and defying the
world. And this not very much over
a hundred years ago. Mr.. Moore re-
lates, among other cents, how the
valiant Americans, with an infant
navy. and with other international
complications pressing them, won their
struggle against the pirates. There are
