THE FIFTEENTH A M E N D.
MENT.

The Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States,
about which so much is heard in the
present campaign, aud to which the
Southern States trace all of tn ir
trouble with the negro problem
because it gave that race the right TO
vote, was declared in a proc 'amaIiOa
of the Secretary of State, NJ rch 30,
1870, it having been rat fled by the
Legislatures of twenty.nine out of the
thirty seven S ates Niue # these
States were directly Southern States
North Carolina, Louisi ana, SO 9TH Car
DINA, Florida, Virginia, A abama
Mississippi Georgia AID Texas. They
were then ruled by negro and carpet
bag government an the native whites
had no say in the matter.
The following States rejec ell the
amendment : Maryland, California,
Delaware, Kentucky, Ore gon and Ten
nesste.
The State of New York withd ew
her consent to the Fiji zenith Amend
ment January 5, 1870 aud New Je y
did not ratlfy it, until February 81
1871. None of them really wane ed such
a law, but were whippe into line by
fraud and the power Of the do uinant
(Republican) party. In the Slu' h
this was effected by negro demoralizi-
ton and the refusal to let the white
meu vote. 1t was terrible crime and
Outrage, and we are suffering from its
blighting effects even tn this day.
Following is the text of the Eff
tenth Amendment as inc ,rporated
in the Constitu ioa of the United
States:
ARTICLE XIV.
Sec. |. The right Of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any State on account of
race, color or previous condition of
servitude.
Sec. g The Congress shall hsve
power to enforce this article by appro-
pirate legislation.

Good Hiding Place.

There is very seemingly nee
essary appropriation made in the
shape of $4,000, and called a
CONTINGENT FUND.
My, what a fine hiding place
this must be for many a gift. A
gift to a certain hospital was
made by the Republican Board
of Commissioners and charged
to "Road and Bridge Fund" 1t
was something like $500, we are
told. Now if this was a proper
gift, why not call it by its right
name, and not try to hide it in
a fund to which it ought not to
have been charged. This con.
tingent fund no doubt contains
many such items, and we know
1t would be interesting to our
taxpayers if they knew what
this $4,000 contingent fund was
used for.

In view Of the heavy expense in dis

mate expenses of the campaign, the
Campaign Chairman, Mr.. ]. P. Biser.
has requested contribution from the
Democrats of the county, however
small, to aid in the prosecution of the

This is an appeal which should meet
with generous response, as it is not
often our people are called on to aid in

MILES ANSWERS RAYNER.

The Honorable Joshua w. Miles
has entered the lists against the Hon
orable Isidor Rayner, and in reply To
his letter of last week, answers him in
Tuesdays Sun in public letter i'll
which he charges him with insincerity
and the most manif, st duplicity. He
charges Senator Rayner with offering
to agree to support the Constitutional
Amendment, during the discussion
pending its adoption by the Legisla-
ture, in return for the support OF GER
tain individuals for his own candf
dacy for the Senatorship. He adds
new zest to the campaign and, as it is
undoubtedly true, will take away from
the Rayner letter all of its possible
influence aud turn the tide of popular
favor toward the measure he so scath-
i ely denounces.

No one feels the high tax
rate like the man who planks
down his hard earned cash in
the Tax Collectors office. Every
cent counts there. He feels
directly the exact meaning of
a 80 or 80 cents tax rate on the
500 assessed on his property,
and these days every little bit
either way makes difference.
Every voter has il in his power
to lower the tax rate by elect
ing the Democratic County
Commissioners.

1t is rumored that tn

1t is rumored that the
County Commissioners have
borrowed various sums of money
upon which they pay 6 per
cent. They are temporary
loans for items not levied for
and the point made here is that
certain interest could have been
saved had the loans have been
at 5 per cent, which is easily
gotten these days on good Sc
curity like Frederick County's
credit. 1t has been figured that
several hundred dollars could
have been saved to the tax
payers.

eastern district Of Wisconsin in sue
cession to Judge Seamen, promoted.
The announcement Of the appointment
of ex-senator Quarles aroused good
deal of opposition among the followers
Of his successor, Senator La Toilette,

could make serious trouble for the ap-
pointee even if they should desire to
do SO. .[
This was the first business day Of the
new national administration, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt disposed of an immense
amount of accumulated work.
Hundreds of visitors called at the

of executive business, the president
found time to receive and extend cor

toward the Pennsylvania avenue gate
